1
And behold, I do also see the Assyrians in that day, and the Gentiles. For behold, their course shall be one round of death and violence. And behold, they shall be given much, or, rather, they shall take much, for they shall think it theirs.
2
And behold, I do see a seer that he shall be raised up from among the Gentiles. Yea, and he shall be called by Elohim, and shall know Him and shall see His face.
3
And behold, this seer shall take up one of the records of my seed, and behold, he shall take it and with it shall establish the truthfulness of the records of Judah. And with it shall he establish the ways of my seed, for in that day shall my seed have become a hiss and a byword among the nations.
4
And behold, he shall seek to establish a church that all may come unto the Father. But behold, the Gentiles shall refuse. For they shall seek to follow this prophet. And behold, this shall they do and make it a tradition among them. And behold, they shall utterly refuse to seek for the face of Elohim.
5
And this, I do speak unto you, oh Ephraim, for I know your doings.
6
Behold, I do see that you reject the very gospel which you claim to espouse. For you do seek the pride of your hearts. Yea, you reject that which is spiritual, insomuch that you do deem that Elohim comes only unto a few. And you do forsake your ancestors all the while claiming to receive them.
7
And you do utterly refuse to seek the face of your Elohim.
8
Why then has this seer brought forth the record of my seed? He might as well dig it back into the earth, for you abide by its teachings not at all! Did this prophet suffer all that he will simply for you to disavow any teaching that he taught?
9
For behold, I do see that you have become even like unto the Jews and Jerusalem. For you do count your money, and you do rob from the poor that you might build up your great synagogues. And you do steal from the poor that you might clothe yourselves in lavish apparel. And behold, you do build many fine sanctuaries and high places, yea, even on every corner.
10
Think yourselves not like unto the Jews? Did they not steal form the poor and build unto themselves fine sanctuaries? Yea, they did.
11
It was for this purpose that YHVH did call me and many other prophets out from among them. Yea, we were called to preach unto them repentance for that which you yourselves do.
12
Therefore, as I did call unto them, repent! Therefore, I call unto you, Repent!
13
Repent, oh you ends of Jerusalem! For you do build up your fine sanctuaries. And you do clothe yourselves in mighty and great apparel. And this you do in the sight of the poor, the needy, the sick, and afflicted.
14
You call yourselves the church of Elohim, yet you do not as He would do. Wherefore can you be called the church of Elohim? Behold, I ask you, are you the church of the Mashiach simply because you call yourselves by His Holy Name? I say unto you nay!
15
For behold, true followers of the Mashiach surely would not place themselves above their brethren. Nor would they create so many divisions among themselves. For behold, did Elohim not say that if you are not one, you are not mine? Behold, He has.
16
Why therefore, do you do as the Jews do? For behold, they did create all manner of divisions one among another. And they did separate themselves into classes. And behold, you do the same.
17
Believe it not so? Do you not separate yourselves by prophets and by seers and by teachers and by priests? Do you not separate yourselves by money and status? Behold, you do.
18
And, inasmuch as you do this, behold, you are not the Mashiach’s. For He works among none who do separate themselves one from another as you have.
19
And behold, I do see that you shun they who believe not as you. For behold, you do cast out from among you they who do not as you. And is this wrong? Behold, I say unto you that inasmuch as YHVH commands you to separate yourselves from wickedness, behold, you should see to do this thing.
20
But behold, where is your command? I say unto you, you have not received it. Therefore, you have thus judged unrighteously. For you do cast out all they who do seek the face of their Elohim. For behold, you have judged this thing to come of pride. Wherefore, I say unto you, Repent!
21
For behold, you do cast out the very humble followers of the Mashiach form among you. I say that you act in pride! For who at any time have cast out the holy prophets and the visionary men from among them save they be ripe in their iniquity and ready for a speedy destruction?
22
Behold, thus says YHVH, all they who have done this and repented not have been speedily destroyed! Wherefore, Regard yourselves as any different than they?
23
And behold, you do put down the humble daughters of Elohim! For your own ends hast you hidden their priesthood and revealed it not.
24
For this I declare unto all the ends of the earth, shall a queen remain silent and powerless in her own kingdom? I declare that it shall never be so! For behold, with one arm does she smite the earth, and with the other does she give life.
25
And behold, she is the Mother of all things, whyfore hide your mother in a closet? Would you, seeing yourselves as righteous, lock your mother in a room and claim it is for her protection? Behold, why would an Elohim need protection from you?
26
She holds the scepter of life and time in Her hand. You are as dust before Her, wherefore can you harm Her in any way?
27
Behold, I declare unto you, oh Jerusalem, you have a Mother, and She shall not remain still. You shall seek to keep Her hidden. Nevertheless, Her light is greater than all your fortresses. You cannot keep Her!
28
Behold, the Mother of All is Her name, and she shall not be mocked. Seek her, oh daughters of Zion, and come out of obscurity. For I declare unto you that She has given you of Her priesthood.
29
She has given you life and power over life. For behold, at Her will are wounds healed and do sicknesses flee. Have you not this power?
30
I say that all women have the right to exercise that priesthood given unto her by her Mother. Wherefore, hide it no longer.
31
Behold, oh daughters, the earth does travail, wherefore, exercise her Mothers power and she shall be healed. This is your Mother’s power which she has given unto all Her daughters.
32
And behold, I do say that all may seek the face of their Elohim. Wherefore, why would a just and loving Elohim keep this gift from His precious daughters? I say unto you that He has not!
33
Think not that your husbands only can see the face of Elohim and prophecy! For behold, did not that prophetess of old, even Deborah prophesy in the name of her Mother?
34
And behold, did Miriam not see? Did Eve not behold the face of her Elohim? Behold, I say unto you that they did all of these things. Are you not the same as them?
35
Oh Ephraim, your shepherds are as blind dogs. They do bark up a tree when their master has said not unto them. And behold, they are as moles, ever digging for that which they cannot possess.
36
Behold, their breath is foul, and they do feast only upon rotten meat. For behold, they do not eat honey nor bread, neither do they drink wine nor milk.
37
But their bellies are filled with the food which they have taken from the poor. And they do drink only that beer with has been given them by soothsayers. Wherefore, I prophesy against them
38
Behold, as it was with Judah, so shall it be with Ephraim. As Judah was destroyed and cast out to become a hiss and a byword, so shall Ephraim.
39
And behold, you shall follow your shepherds straight into hell which is death everlasting. For behold, you do refuse completely to set aside your pride and seek the face of your Elohim.
40
But behold, you do deem yourself as better than your brethren. If that be so, why do they see Elohim? Why do they prophesy and see visions? Why are they called out to preach unto you? Where is your greatness, oh daughter?
41
I say that you have sold it even unto Assyria. Oh fool, were you not given the words of the holy prophets? Were you not given by this seer, the record of my seed? Behold, you were, and you use it not! It is as good unto you as kindling, for it will keep you warm for but a short time. Then comes the snows, and all your pomp and your grandeur will not keep you warm.
42
Your temples shall cease to burn, and in them you shall find no refuge. Seek therefore the face of your Elohim. For His hand will soon be outstretched no longer, and you shall be as a desolate daughter that has played the harlot.
43
Wherefore, did any of your lovers come to aid you? Nay, but they watched as you burned, and they feed off your spoils. Wherefore, repent, oh people, for you are no more than the Jews.
44
Now, I do speak unto you, oh people who do seek the face of your Elohim. For behold, I do see that in your diligence you have been mocked by your own.
45
I do see that you have been cast out of your own synagogues and of your temples. you have been persecuted and mocked by they who would call themselves your brothers. Behold, I do speak unto you words of peace.
46
For behold, you shall not be forsaken. you shall not be left alone. Behold, thus says YHVH: I will come to you. I will not leave you comfortless.
47
Because you have lowered yourselves into the very depths of humility, you shall find Me.
48
For, you shall not find me among lords who do boast and the ladies which do vomit. For behold, their sin is a dross and their fine things. Wherefore, I spend no time with them.
49
But behold, because you have lowered yourselves, you shall find Me. Because you have taken upon yourselves mockery and scorn, I do call you My friends. Behold, you shall be cast out and hated and reviled by your own. But fear not, for it is among the downtrodden that you will find company.
50
Behold, it is among the persecuted that you will find joy. For behold, I am there, for the downtrodden are My friends and the awkward and the lame are My brothers, and the blind are my playmates.
51
For behold, they are there with me, for my yoke is easy and my burdens are light. Rejoice, oh fellows, for because you have sought me, you have suffered with me. And behold, we shall stand before the Father and shall declare that we have accomplished all the work that He has asked us to do. Therefore, we shall have Eternal Life.
