1
And it came to pass that the family of Ishmael did mourn his passing. Nevertheless, I did preach unto them all that had happened, insomuch that he has sat down with the fathers, and that he may go out no longer. And this brought little comfort to them. Nevertheless, they did murmur not against me as did my own sons.
2
And we did, from that point, travel in a straight rout east. And we did come upon many great and mighty mountains, and many civilizations we did see.
3
Nevertheless, I make not a record of these nations and these travels at this point. For behold, it did come unto me that at long last, the city of Jerusalem has been destroyed. And it being nearly six or seven years since we did depart, inasmuch as I can tell.
4
And behold, in my vision, I did see many great and terrible destructions. For behold, the very king that my people did bow down and worship did swiftly slay them.
5
Wherefore, let it be known, oh men, that inasmuch as you kneel down to worship the arm of flesh and blood, in this manner must you be killed.
6
For gods of brass and iron care nothing for you. And, though you may take them in and feed them and clothe them, and give them aught to drink, behold, they shall straightway turn and shall take the very knife that you did use to cut their meat and bread, and behold, they shall turn and thrust you through with it.
7
And will YHVH in that day care at all that you have been slain by the elohim you chose to worship? Behold, I say unto you that He will weep for you, but will do nothing to stop the attack, for you did chose who you would serve. And lest you repent, behold, He can do nothing when that elohim betrays you.
8
Therefore, I do plead with you, all that would hear my voice. My voice crieth unto you as if from the dust.
9
Worship no more the arm of flesh and blood. For in the day that you do, you shall surely die.
10
Do you suppose that you are better than they who lived at Jerusalem? Behold, do you think that you can do the same things that they did and yet not be destroyed?
11
Say you: We do know that Jerusalem did these things. Nevertheless, YHVH sustains us because he has raised unto us prophets.
12
But behold, thus says YHVH, that in that day, Elohim shall not sustain you. For inasmuch as He sustains you, behold, He would cease to be Elohim. For behold, He would be a hypocrite, for He has destroyed nations already for that which you do.
13
If He, being a just and unchangeable Elohim, do that thing, to stay the hand of destruction for you, behold, could you trust such an elohim?
14
Would you have Elohim be so flighty as to destroy a people for one thing, yet preserve another for the same?
15
Oh, you wicked and selfish people! Do no more evil in the sight of YHVH! For you are not exempt from the destruction which shall befall the wicked.
16
And do you not count yourselves as wicked? Behold you do not. For at no time has any people caught up in wickedness claimed to be wicked save the very sons of perdition.
17
Therefore, I stand upon your walls and upon your towers and High Places, and I proclaim unto you that your sins are as Sodom!
18
Weep not for Jerusalem, but weep for yourselves! Do not suppose that you can escape a speedy destruction.
19
But repent, oh people, repent! Worship idols no more. Come out of obscurity and shake off the chains with which you are bound.
20
I command you, oh people, as if the very voice of the Elohim were speaking unto you, repent! For soon shall be your destruction. And behold, long shall be that night. For you shall hear your husbands ran through with swords. Your women shall be ravished, and your children shall be taken into far distant lands.
21
And, in that day, you shall curse your Elohim, and shall cry unto Him. Yet, He shall not hear you! And you shall wail and bemoan your sorry fate and wonder how your Elohim could be so cruel unto you.
22
And when the night has gone and the sun rise, behold, there shall be nothing to behold. For your city and your people shall be gone, and their bodies be left to the flies and the vultures.
23
And no one there be that shall desire to travel again unto your great city, for it stinks. And behold, the moaning of the dead shall be heard still.
24
And your city shall become an habitation for moles and badgers. And even the earth shall return before another man shall desire to step foot again upon that soil.
25
And do you think me unfair? Behold, do I speak an hard thing unto you? Behold, I know your thoughts, for you do say: That shall never be, for Elohim would not be so unmerciful to us. And behold, we have time to repent. Therefore, I will continue in my ways, for Elohim shall uphold me at the last day.
26
Behold, I say unto you, can you step out and behold the great cities of Adam and Melchizedek? Or can you find the cities of Tubal or Cain?
27
Behold, I say unto you, you cannot. For they did do the same that you now do. And behold, they were all drown and covered by earth. Insomuch that men have not walked in their streets for an age.
28
Yea, so great was their destruction that the earth did reclaim that which those cities did steal in their greed, and behold, they are so far gone that you can build cities upon the earth where they once stood.
29
How great were they?
30
Therefore, think no longer the pride of your hearts, nor lust after the desires of your minds.
31
But sing praises continually before YHVH your Elohim. Melt down the many golden calves you have crafted, and with their carcasses craft plates that you may record the generations.
32
Weep no more, but worship that loving Elohim who is your Father and your Mother. Stand tall alongside your righteous fathers that you may be counted at the right hand of Elohim.
33
And thus, it is.
