Now, I desire to abridge the things of Hennen. For while Hennen has written much upon many stone tablets which I know shall be preserved until the final day, he has written many other things in the Book of Prophecies and Visions. Therefore, I record what Visions and prophecies the Aiylōhyme deem fit. And these sayings of Hennen are not had among his other writings, therefore, they are unique among them.
2
Now, my children, I am Hennen, son of Yōhannaz, and I am he who came out of the land of Scythia with my people. And at the mighty word of the Aiylōhyme I have performed miracles and have seen miracles and have passed through the veil insomuch that our enemies could neither see us nor touch us.112 And all these works are recorded among my other writings thus I do not write them here. But, this Book of Visions and Prophecies has been had among my people for generations and while I have written much, I would be remiss to forget to record my words in this book; this righteous book which was begun by that incredible seer Yōzefos who is my father, and I am his son. And thus I will record what great things the Aiylōhyme have caused me to write in it. And that that my seed may have my words and the words of my fathers and that these sayings shall come forward in that great and last day, praise be unto Aiylōhyme Aiyseir of all.
3
For so it is that there are many orders of planets, and each planet is distinct in its history and its people, yet, we know that they are all peopled by Aiyseir and by Elves and Nifles and spirits of all kinds. And many of which receive a body which is a token between them and Aiylōhyme of the covenants which they have made. Now, behold, my seed, that there are nine middle-planets in this sphere and many lesser-planets. And this earth we walk upon is of the middling variety, wherefore it is called Middle-Earth. And at some future day it shall be called Middle-Earth no longer, but shall becalled Velhyme having become a kingdom and a hall of Athalaz the great Aiy planet to which ours is connected.
4
And these are sayings among our people, and a minute portion of the teachings which are written upon the Wall. For the Wall is a great temple and teaching place unto us. Therefore, on it we have recorded all of our greatest teachings, for we would that each individual among the seed of Yōhannaz may know them.
5
For we know that it is a great sign of decrease when a people lose in light and knowledge. And we see it happen before our eyes with Rōmwas to the south, for they were an offshoot of Grekō and Grekō is an offshoot of Peliponae which itself can trace its lineage unto Ham the son of Nōh. But before that, they came from Esaw and Esaw made amends with his brother Yahkōb and became a righteous soul unto the Aiy, therefore, he and his people carried with them the teachings of their fathers. And they settled in the lands of Peliponae.
6
And for long time the lands of Peliponae were righteous after the manner of their father, but it was that they began to become a warlike and ferocious people, easily caught in all manner of lascivious traps and wickedness of all kinds. And thus it was that what great knowledge they carried with them began to ebb away. And there were those among them that took of that knowledge and basterdized it and made it a wicked religion. And there were those among them who took it and worshiped the many idols that had sprung from it and thus it became a religion of idols. Yet, to this day, there is much light and knowledge there, even if it is to an exceedingly lesser degree.
7
And thus it shall be with the righteous to the south. For as of now, they carry with them the Gospel of Thūnoraz and it is complete and holy. And we have joined with them and I have spoken with this Peter113 face to face, who is the high chief of the disciples of Messiah. And we have given him our records and he has given us his. And we have communed one with the other. And all the holy prophets among the people to the south we have met with and they are a good and whole people and have all things in common.
8
Nevertheless, it is that in a coming day there shall be such great wickedness and evil come against them and much pressure shall mount upon them that they shall break underneath it. And the Aiylōhyme will not begrudge them this, for the armies of Hrōdi and Sert shall give all to see this little band of Messiahites fall. And in the end they shall, nevertheless, the Aiylōhyme shall take up those pour souls and they shall become kings and queens, chiefs and chiefesses among the Aiyseir forever. Nevertheless, there will ultimately be those who shall see a way to gain from this gospel and will seek out the oaths of old and the prison shall be opened and the pacts and oaths of Sert shall be had among them once more.
9
Now, this is the gospel which shall be taken unto all the world, for this people will take of the gospel of the Yahūdi and will corrupt it nearly entirely. It will look, in the end, nothing like the truth of the gospel of the Lamb. And this they will do by signing documents and calling creeds. For they will be led entirely by the combinations of Lōk, for they will have slain the prophets of Aiylōhyme.
10
And when this day comes, my seed, you need not fear. For though this assembly shall seek to destroy you in your entirety, it is as our fathers have written prior, that we too shall be saved in the kingdom of our Aiy.
11
Nevertheless, I continue. For when they shall come up in their oaths and their creeds, they will strip almost entirely the truths of the gospel of the Lamb away and all that is good shall be shed and what little that remains shall be entirely corrupt. And many of the righteous truths shall be lost. And in this way, they shall be exactly like their fathers, the Greki before them. Rōmwas shall be after the manner of Grekō and Grekō is after the manner of Peliponae.
12
And such is the way of things, for this decay too shall happen with our people, for the day will come when this assembly of the Rōmwasi will consume entirely my people and much is written about that. But all that shall be left in this land are those who adhere to the combinations of Lōk. For Lōk shall be loosed in this place for a season and with that newly bought freedom, he shall reign over this people as a god. And they will make him their false Aiy and he will lead them with linen cords. And when this day comes, our doctrine and the doctrine of our fathers which we have kept faithfully since the time of Yōhannaz and prior since the time of Elōhizar and since the time of Svemaz. And there will be none in the land to maintain these things, for the prophets shall be shut up, and the chisel and the diamond will be hidden that none may engrave upon any tablet save it be the things of Yōrmongond. This dreadful day will come, for I have seen it, and my fathers have seen it, and our religion which was given by the mouth of Messiah himself will become just as basterdized as the rest of the religions upon the face of the earth, save for those few that are hidden from the sight of men.
13
Therefore, I make a statement that all may return unto what it was. As Yōzefos before me sent a seed of faith down his line and his lineage, I, Hennen do as well, for it is written by my own hand the many covenants which Thūnoraz has made unto our fathers and unto us as he came and dwelled with us for the space of a time. And as sure as he did come, he promised by his own word that our seed would not sit in darkness for too long. That the day would come when a restoration of all things would begin in earnest. Therefore, I make these writings that at some future day, my seed and the descendants of my seed shall know of us, that we were, and that we are preserved and have become Vyaneir according to the promises of the All-Father and All-Mother unto us.
14
And now, I make an end to my prophesying unto my seed, for I have written exceeding much and I suspect that nearly all the works of my hand will be preserved upon the earth, and I know, for it is given me to know, that at some future day they will be dug up from out of the earth like a being resurrected, and that they will again see the light of Sōl. And when that day comes, the writings of my hand which is an account of my life and the lives of my people and what great things the Aiy have given us. Therefore I make an end of writing here.
