1
And behold, it came to pass that after a matter of time, behold, YHVH did come unto me again, and He did say: Behold Lehi have I not spoken unto you that your seed shall be of some great use unto me? How then am I to accomplish this task lest your sons take unto themselves wives?
2
Therefore, you shall send your sons back unto the city of Jerusalem. For there I have prepared an one who will come down unto you, and daughters and sons does he have. Therefore, shall I accomplish Mine ends.
3
And behold, my heart was somewhat hardened unto YHVH, for I knew of the tribulation which my sons had faced in their return unto the land of Jerusalem.
4
Therefore, I inquired of YHVH: Verily, YHVH, there are no more righteous in the land. For all the righteous have thus departed.
5
But behold, YHVH did touch mine eyes, and I did see. And I beheld the face of that Ishmael, yea, even that one who the spirit did cause to sleep, insomuch that he did arise a new being in the Mashiach.
6
And thus, did I understand. And I did frankly repent of my fear, and again placed my trust once more in YHVH.
7
And when I had thus awoken, behold I did tell my sons all that YHVH had told me, and they did straightway prepare their things that they may return again unto Jerusalem.
8
And again, behold their journeyings shall be written in another place, therefore I make an end.
9
Nevertheless, behold, I do write somewhat concerning these plates, even the plates of brass.
10
For they are of a curious and fine workmanship. Nevertheless, they do contain a record of many generations. And they do contain many plain and precious things, even so many that have been lost in the many reformations of the Jews. And these, I deem, are of great significance. Therefore, I do write somewhat concerning these things.
11
And behold, among those items of great significance is this; That in heaven, there was one who fell, he being great, even like unto the Mashiach. But behold, in his heart he did conspire against Elohim, and this because the Mashiach was chosen. Chosen to come down unto the earth and to save it.
12
Therefore, did this one, even Lucifer rebel against his Father. And with him came many of the great and noble ones, for they had it in their hearts to take from the Mashiach, even that great Jehovah, that stewardship which the Elohim had given unto Him.
13
Therefore, they were cast out, and behold, this Lucifer did take with him many of the mighty stars of heaven, insomuch that one third of them did fall.
14
And behold, the Elohim, seeing a way to test their children, did place those fallen stars upon the earth. This that they might test and torment man.
15
And behold, this Lucifer does not make himself known unto many, for he is a worker of dark and evil things. And he does his works in the darkness. And great have been his successes on the earth. For behold, the very knowledge of him has been stripped from all but a few.
16
Nevertheless, I do know him now, for YHVH has shown his putrid sore unto me. And thus, I have been commanded to bring to light this Lucifer, even that great Satan. For he does desire to stay in darkness, therefore, I do bring his works to light.
17
Behold, it was he who did deceive our first parents into partaking of the forbidden fruit. And it was he that did come in unto Cain, even that worker of darkness, that he might slay his brother Abel. And behold, did this Satan who is Lucifer make a covenant unto Cain. And behold, this was that covenant:
18
That all who swear, yea, upon the earth, and upon the heavens, and upon the Elohims, and upon their heads, and upon all that which is abominable in the sight of YHVH, yea, all who swear this shall murder and get gain. That they shall keep gain. That they might have power over all those who are not a part of this covenant.
19
That they shall keep this covenant in secret and shall make it not known unto any lest they perish.
20
And behold, YHVH has shown me the workings of this covenant. And I do see that there are many in my day who do keep it. And I do perceive that there are many who have kept it, even down from Cain until now. And behold, many shall there be hereafter that shall keep it.
21
For behold, YHVH hast shown me their works, even in my own lands of Jerusalem. And thus, shall YHVH destroy Jerusalem, to remove this blot.
22
And I do perceive that this oath shall bring about the destruction of many lands, nations, and kingdoms, even as it has hereto done. For behold, this covenant does destroy and kill the very saints of Elohim, and for what? For gain and power.
23
And behold, all you that shall read this, for behold, YHVH has shown you unto me, and I have seen your day. And I do see that this covenant shall have gotten already above your heads. Yet, there shall be many who know it not.
24
Therefore, when you shall see strange occurrences in your lands, and when there be they that rise unto power with great haste. And when there be strange magics and sorceries in the land, insomuch that many do awe and wonder after a thing.
25
And behold, when there be many with great wealth, and they hoard it unto themselves. And when there are those that say, see this and see that.
26
And when murderers and sorcerers and wizards cannot be touched by the law. And behold, when your lands be filled with a great confusion, insomuch that a thing that was known shall cease to be known. And when there are great armies that do rise up against one another.
27
And when there shall be great whisperings shut up.
28
And when all this, behold, then shall you know that this great oath has come over you.
29
And then what? Shall YHVH leave you helpless should this covenant get above you? Behold, I say unto you that He shall not.
30
For behold, there shall be those who see through the lies and deceptions and the crimes and entertainments. And behold, should these cry unto YHVH and repent of all, then shall He cause that this covenant shall have not great power over you.
31
And behold, He shall call prophets and ministers, and behold, the righteous shall shine a light upon this great sore.
32
Nevertheless, shall this great sore seek to destroy the prophets. And behold, then you shall see miracles.
33
For behold, some shall this canker slay, and they go unto the rest of their fathers. But behold, there shall be others unto whom this canker cannot touch.
34
And it shall cast the prophets into furnaces, and the prophets shall dance in the flames.
35
And it shall cast them into vipers’ nests, and behold, they do play among the serpents.
36
And behold, even it shall crucify them. And behold, on the third day, they rise for all to see.
37
Therefore, oh people, when you shall see all these, behold, repent speedily and come unto your Elohim! For behold, He shall soon take His prophets and His people from among you, and you shall be left to perish with that great covenant. For behold, YHVH shall suffer the cries of His saints no longer.
