Chapter 4

The Record of Zhamaz


1

I am Zhamaz, son of Ahzheil and prince of the chiefdom of Hyarziraz. I come to you my seed in great writing, for I fear that if I do not, you must invariably be lost. Therefore, I write.

2

My father has asked me to recount the many visions which he had. My father was not strong in writing nor in tongue. He could neither read well nor write the things of his heart. Therefore, I write that which he has commanded me.

3

It shall be according to the words of my father that a nation shall flee away from my seed and shall take their dwellings in the lands far west. For they will be guided and led to a great land, a land of our very distant forefathers. A land which shall not have been inhabited by the children of Mesves for a long while. Thus, Yehovah will take them and guide them to the lands west. And in this they shall join with the seed of that Lehaiy who was with Yōhothon in Aiyesholames. And this my father saw was to become a great nation, even an one that could not be rivaled. For the children of that Lehaiy shall have dwindled for a time in unbelief, nevertheless, Elohim shall cause a great seer to be born among their kinsmen and he shall begin again a mighty restoration among them and by the time my words and the words of my seed shall be established, the seed of Lehaiy shall have begun in earnest to establish all righteousness upon the face of their great land.

4

Nevertheless, my seed and the seed of my brethren shall not be as righteous. For they will have dwindled entirely in sin, for they will have forsaken their oaths and covenants for that of heathen gods of war and death. And they shall go forward in this gross error for many generations, knowing nothing but war and decay, using up the good of the earth to make instruments of death and destruction. And this they will do in a chase for a god and a realm they know not. And this god and this realm shall be those of death and sacrifice of others. Wherefore, the Aiy of Trees shall come and proclaim all men that they must sacrifice themselves for the good of others; this heathen god shall require that they sacrifice others for the good of themselves.

5

I cry unto you, my seed, the seed of my father, repent. You do not know the god you worship. He will take upon himself the likeness of Yehovah and Vōdezaza, but he will only be a blank and pale imitation of them. You do not worship Sky Father and Tree Son or Earth Mother. You worship the great serpent.

6

What Aiy would require a choice people to slaughter a non-choice people in order to attain the realms above? I say a god of death and doom. A usurper who desires suffering. Thus, it is that since you have chosen to follow great serpent who wears the mask of Tree Aiy, you shall be the cause of much death and heartache for many. And this you must face up to. No, Sky Father did not order the death of these, his children, by your hands. No, you will not attain realms above through death and slaughter, no matter how noble you proclaim your cause. You have been deceived!

7

Nevertheless, fear not, for did I not proclaim that the words of my father were that you would become a great nation? I did, so I command you to cast out this pretender from your midst. Let him have no place among you. When you do this, it shall be as my father has spoken; you shall become a people of peace and not a people of war.

8

You will be among the first on this earth to set down your weapons and take up the higher road. You will cast away your sword and proclaim peace unto a world filled to the overflowing with death and violence. And in this, I see that you will overcome a great many obstacles. For your love of the Tree Aiy, and for that, you will have the call of your ancestors inside you.

9

You will take these things and with them shall establish a city of peace, a beacon unto the whole world. And the false gods shall have their weapons removed and will be replaced in their entirety by Sky Father and Earth Mother, and their names will no longer be used as an idol for domination, but as a beacon of peace.

10

Be of good cheer, my children, for when this will happen, you will join with other nations, those of which who are they that came out of Aiyesholames and also those who came out of Harethal19 in days long past. For you are both of Aiyesholames and of Harethal. I am Zhamaz, and I am a Scythian. And I am the son of Ahzheil the prophet, and Ahzheil is the son of Bahelhar,20 and Bahelhar is the son of Vergacin. And Vergacin is the child of Elōhizar, and Elōhizar is the offspring of Vergacin, and Vergacin is the son of Āhaz the seer. And Āhaz is a descendant of Mesves, who was the son of Mesves, who was the son of Nōh.

11

And this Mesves, who is our father, was who it was that came out of the lands of Harethal at the time that the great tower unto heaven was built21. And Mesves was a mighty man, strong in speech and in writing and great was his faith, so great that when Elohim confounded the language and destroyed the tower, Mesves pleaded with his Aiy that his people may be preserved and Elohim, or as they were called at the time, Elohimus,22 had mercy on Mesves and his people and he led them to a new land where their language was not confounded. And an account of Mesves and his people shall be given hereafter in another account, for their works were many and are too many to truthfully be recorded here, but they were righteous, and you, my seed, are their children. And you are also come out of Aiyesholames. For you are a descendant of that Yōhothon who fled the destruction for his righteousness. And an account of his genealogy will not be given here, for he has his own records. And I know that they will come forward at some time.

12

Suffice it to say that Yōhothon is a righteous man and is a descendant of that Menahshes who is brother to Efehimases, and we are also descendants of that Efehimases; therefore, my seed, you are the house of Yūzefes and Mesves. Therefore, righteousness is in your very blood. Yet as stated, when this record shall be revealed unto that man by Yehovah, who is in secret, you will be toiling in blood and will be warring for the destruction of all but your own.

13

Yet, when this record will be revealed, for Elohim makes known all things, you will flock to it and will read these words and know that they are true and just, and you will begin again to cut down your idols and take up the way of your forefathers which are the ways of righteousness. And when you do this, you will become a beacon and a light to many, for HaElohim will give you this record and many others which they shall cause to be translated by their holy power. And much righteousness will be fulfilled in you, and this according to the visions of my father, which are many.

14

Likewise, my father saw that these things will happen at a great and terrible day, when the earth will be used for her goods and will be covered crust to crust in turmoil and anguish. So I give a command unto you, my seed, for we have been caretakers of the earth for many centuries, for my father and his father were herders of cattle and sheep and we tilled and watched over the earth, for she is a precious creation of HaElohim.

15

For this reason, I give command that you till the earth in righteousness and steward over her elements not for greed nor want of provender, but to be in harmony and to care for a sister and fellow creation. All that is in her is all that is in us and if we consume her in lust and greed she will not. So, we will not. And this shall be a show of great faith in that day, for when you do this, you will have the very Aiy of Hosts to be your guide and they shall dwell with you and you will again walk upon the ways of your fathers and not upon the ways of the great adversary.

16

And in this you will be a blessing and a light to all nations upon the face of the earth and there will be many who will join with you, for they will feel the call of their ancestors and they will again seek the face of the Aiyseir of the mighty Host. And in so doing, their men will see and their women will prophecy.23 And you will join together with them, for they are they who fled from Harethal and from Aiyesholames.

17

And when this, they will carry with them their records which have been hidden from the wicked in safe keeping. Then will Aiy Elohim cause a great flood to cover the earth. Not a flood of water, but of fire and Heiml 24and great knowledge will cover the face of all nations once again.25 My father has seen it, and I have seen it. My mother has been shown it as has Yōhothon the seer, and we know the surety of it.

18

Therefore, look up, my seed, for though you may be in despair at this time, we shall give you call from the great beyond and through the generations our prayers will be heard.

19

Elohim, I cry unto the souls of my generations which shall be many that they will hear my voice, even the voice of their father calling from the dust. This is my mighty prayer, Elohim, and I record it that all my generations may know of a surety that they are come out of Aiyesholames by that Yōhothon. And they are also come out of Feiginept26 by that Elōhizar the seer who brought with him many of the records of the Efehimasi. That they will also know that they came out of the land of Harethal by that Mesves, that grandchild of Nōh.

20

Let them know, oh Elohim that their blood is the blood of prophets and chieftains, seers and seeresses. Peace flows through their veins. And though the combinations of Qayin shall try to oppose them, in the end they will be an instrument, a lyre played calling all to the lands of peace. This is my prayer.

21

It was in the year fifty that my father passed away, he being a righteous man to the end and it was with sadness that I and my siblings along with our children and their children and yet even few of their children prayed as he crossed over the wall. Yet it is with great joy that I declare that all the children of my father save the very young were able to come up in ceremony for all had sought the Way of their Redeemer. And in this we all danced the dance of everlasting joy, and my father joined with us, and his father and mother and all the generations joyed together as one, for yet another child of Mesves had passed through the veil and become a chief and a seer in the chiefdom of Elohim forever.

22

And though it was sad, yet we joyed, for we know that whenever a man or woman passes beyond the wall in righteousness, they shall be kept in those righteous ways everlasting. And after the ceremony was finished we all went in unto our homes and I and my bride had also grown old, yet our time was not yet

23

And when we had joined together and become as one, we had established a home and this home we have carried with us wherever we have gone on this our mother earth. And our children were born in this home and also some of their children, for my wife is a great healer and this home has been the abode of many of our ancestors, both perfected27 and in spirit28. And this home is a place of comfort so much that I am with great joy knowing that I will spend out the rest of my days in it, and I know that I will pass with joy more knowing that I have done all the work required of me.

24

And my far distant seed, is this not joy? Is it not joy to build a home with the woman you love and rear your children and behold them step upon the paths of Adonai and become prophets and seers themselves? Therefore, I say seek this life, for it is joy. Come no more up in great wars and arms. Seek no more continual death, but everlasting life. Be righteous, my children, and we will meet each other when you step through that great wall between us and heaven. This is joy.
