Now, there was a certain Yōzefos who was a righteous seer among our people, and he lived nearly two hundred years before our father Hennen. And now, it was he who first began writing the Book of Prophesies and Visions. Many of his teachings are written herein and shall make up much of this abridgement.
2
Now, this Yōzefos was foremost among the children of Yōhannaz, having been born of direct lineage from him. And he wrote, saying: It is good that Yōhannaz left Aiyesholames, for we know of a surety that it was destroyed by that Harethal92 who was the whore of the earth. Yet, so it shall be, for I have seen that in the days of our children, the wickedness of Aiyesholames shall again be what it was when father Yōhannaz left, for they shall indulge in much lavish living and idolatry. And I know and have seen that there shall be born among them a certain prophet who should prepare the way before the coming of all righteousness. And this prophet shall be like unto Yōhannaz and shall be cast out from among his own. Insomuch that he shall be forced to rear his seed in the wilderness, and they shall be hated among all people. Nevertheless, this prophet shall prepare the way for Pūnkes93 who should come.
3
This prophet shall go forward and receive in Ohrther Pūnkes in a stream. And this shall be the manner of his Ohrther, the prophet shall take him by the hand and shall say: Having been given authority of Aiylōhyme, I receive in Ohrther you in the name of the All-Father, the All-Mother, and the All-Spirit. Aiy!
4
And he shall fell him into the water entirely so that the water consumes him. Now, is this not a type? I see that it is, for in times past we have forsaken this practice because we believed to be better than it. This Ohrther94 was for the unrighteous, which certainly cannot include us. Therefore, we forsook this teaching. Nevertheless, my kinsmen, let us see to it that we return to this practice, for if the very Pūnkes who should come who shall be perfect exceeding perfection, if he should even be received in Ohrther, should we not seek to do the same?
5
Now, I have seen also that when Pūnkes shall be received in Ohrther, lighting shall descend upon him, yet, not to his hurt, and he shall be consumed with power from the Aiylōhyme. And in this very act, he shall then become one with Heimalaz the Great Spirit. And when this, they shall never be separated so long as they both are righteous.
6
Now, is this also not a thing we should seek? For our father, Yōhannaz, spoke much about the power of the spirit that it must descend upon us all lest we be left to forsaken paths. Now, I ask, have many of you received Vyros95 of which our fathers spoke? I do not believe so, for you have forsaken Orhther, believing it as done by the wicked only, so you cannot have received Vyros. I exhort you, my kinsmen, to seek Ohrther and Vyros. And when you do this, it shall be as it will be in Pūnkes, you will be joined up with and sealed to Heimalaz, that Great Spirit.
7
Now, rejoice, my kinsmen, for lo, you have forsaken this command; nevertheless, the very mission of Pūnkes shall be to remove our debts with Yōrmongond so that he consumes not his tail for your sakes that we all will return unto them and become Aiy again.
8
And now, my kinsmen, you know these things I teach to be true, for did Yōhannaz not teach concerning Ohrther? He did. When he came up from Aiyesholames, he found a people who walked in all ways in Sydeir save for that they did not practice Ohrther, for they found the practice to be too similar to the children of Ithziel to the south. Therefore, they had forsaken Ohrther entirely, and now, I see that you have similar thoughts, for you view the people to the south that they are wicked but continue with the practice of Ohrther, for this reason and your own idleness, you have forsaken the practice. Now, when Yōhannaz had seen that this righteous people had forsaken Ohrther, he went to work repairing that doctrine which had been lost due to pride, and he, with much success, brought the people unto a remembrance of that doctrine which they had lost.
9
Now, as I have said, it is the same with you, for you have forsaken this practice, and here I come before you and must correct it. You know it in your hearts to be a correct practice, yet you forsake it for your pride. Now, I must tell you to repent, for the day comes in which Pūnkes shall come to this land wrapped in his glory, and when this day comes, should he find a people who forsake his teachings? I hope not. Therefore, my kinsmen, you must repent, for I testify that in his youth he shall wander up to these parts and he shall open up the records we have kept and will read the accounts which he himself commanded we should write. And when this, I would that he will find a righteous people as our fathers before us, for truly in our records are the testimonies of Yōhannaz and Ahzheil and among others, therefore he will judge us based off what is written. For at that time, he will have access to many records from many people, insomuch that we should be a righteous and prosperous people that when he comes as a lad, we may bring him in and seek counsel from him that he may be comfortable in this our little home. And now I make an end concerning this matter. Aiy.
