Chapter 3


1

And I prostrated myself underneath the tree, which tree extended into all the worlds.

2

And now, it came to pass that as I lay underneath the tree, I beheld a seed that it fell from the branches of this tree. And this seed was as a grain of sand, for it was no bigger than the sands of the sea.

3

And Raziel spoke unto me, saying: Take up this seed which you have seen and carry it into that great and spacious building which is the temple of the Leviathan you have heretofore seen.

4

And I saw HaShem. I am Shem. And I feared not, for Hashem of YHVH was written upon my forehead. And I took up this seed which was a gift from this tree and carried it unto the waters inthewhich many drowned into the depths. And I spoke unto the waters, fear not, for I have not come to cross you unbid, but I come bringing good tidings unto those you guard.

5

And the great fountain of water sang the praises of Elohim and I speak not the words it sung.

6

Great El, here comes a one who has your name. HaShem. He loves you and wants not to cross me. I shall let him cross.

7

And thus the river parted from before my face. And I beheld the deep things of the river that there were many who had drowned therein.

8

And I crossed that river as if upon dry ground. And when I had come across her, I beheld again that great and spacious building which I had seen. And I saw as if in my minds eye the fall of it, that it would tumble unto the earth. And I carried it, even the seed into the building. And I found a piece of parched earth which had never before held life.

9

There were those around me who mocked me saying: Why carry you this seed in here. It shall wither and die. We shall surely kill that tree, for why should we let such a thing in here?

10

And it came to pass that I took up that parched earth and opened up the ground. And I placed therein the seed and she came unto life.

11

And when I had done this, a great quaking came upon this place, and I knew that the fall of it was upon us. And I spoke unto all the people, declaring that this building would soon fall. And there were those from among the people who wanted not the building to fall, and they wept and mourned her loss. And there were those that tried to flee. But they were drowned in the river. But there were those that fell before the seed and spoke a kind thing unto her that she might grow and give them refuge, for the building that would fall.

12

And now the number of those who fell before the seed were great and I bless Yah!

13

Now, when I had seen all this, I was taken up unto an exceedingly tall mountain. And I beheld all the stars of the firmament above, and below all the waters of the deep.

14

And Raziel came unto me again, and spoke, saying: I shall give unto you the sword which you have seen, and I shall again give unto you that scroll which you have seen. For inside you is that seed which you have seen.

15

And I took up that scroll which I had drank and I spoke the words which it had read. Fire came from my lips. HaShem.

16

I took up the sword which the Malach had given. HaShem. And I slayed the wicked.

17

I beheld all the peoples of the earth. Even from the first unto the last. And they I shall not list. For they are those whose names are written in the book of life. And they are those whose names are written in the book of death which HaSatan keeps. I shall not name them for they are named unto the heavens and YHVH numbers their names.

18

HaShem I beheld. HaShem I beheld.

19

I beheld again the stars in the firmament and number them not. They are those who are numbered unto YHVH.

20

I beheld again the grains of sand within the sea. I count not the grains of sand, for such a task would slay me, surely. They are truly numbered unto YHVH.

21

I beheld a great fleet of ships, truly a great fleet, that they came from the northlands. And I beheld that they carried with them children. And these children understood all the Names of YHVH. And I beheld that they settled in the southern lands and with these children came many great and marvelous works.

22

And Raziel spoke unto me, saying: These are your seed, for there are many great and marvelous souls which shall be among those of your seed.

23

The fleet which you see is the words of YHVH which shall carry them across many perilous waters and stormy seas. There shall not be a drop of rain that shall affect them nor a storm cloud that shall cover their joy. For you shall teach them of HaShem!

24

And I beheld before my eyes HaShem that it was great. And I meditated upon HaShem and I touched the truth therein.

25

And I beheld my children that they were numberless. HaShem.

26

Numberless and Numberless. And I beheld that they extended unto all the corners of the earth. And I saw the seed of my father, HaShem, that it extended unto all the corners of the earth.

27

And I beheld HaShem with my eyes, and it showed unto me all things.

28

I saw armies and navies. Battalions and squadrons. I beheld the lands in which I would inhabit that they were torn asunder with war.

29

I beheld the denizens of those lands that they were full of hatred, grief, enmity.
