Behold in a dream during the nightmare of the dark season ...of the times and time ..of the season of man ...see son of man ...
and i was taken and shown a people and peoples and they were defending the earth against the destroyers ...
and the battle was mighty and the defenders few ...
Yet to the glory of God and Christ they fought on ...
and for nothing else ...
and scripture came back to remembrance ...
Chpt 146 The Psalmes of David
Blessed is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, *and whose hope is in the Lord his God.
Which made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that therein is, which keepeth his promise forever.
The First Book of Moses
In the beginning God created heaven and earth. The earth was
void and empty, and darkness was upon the deep, and the spirit of God moved
upon the water.
Then God said: let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light
that it was good: and divided the light from the darkness, and called the light
day, and the darkness night: and so of the evening and morning was made the
first day.
And God said: let there be a firmament between the waters, and let it divide
the waters asunder. Then God made the firmament, and parted the waters which
were under the firmament, from the waters that were above the firmament: And
it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And so of the evening and
morning was made the second day.
And God said: let the waters that are under heaven gather themselves unto one
place, that the dry land may appear. And it came so to pass. And God called the
dry land the earth, and the gathering together of waters called he the sea. And
God saw that it was good.
And God said: let the earth bring forth herb and grass that sow seed, and
fruitful trees, that bear fruit every one in his kind, having their seed in
themselves upon the earth. And it came so to pass. And the earth brought forth
herb and grass sowing seed every one in his kind, and trees bearing fruit, and
having their seed in themselves, every one in his kind. And God saw that it was
good, and then of the evening and morning was made the third day.
Then said God: let there be lights in the firmament of heaven, to divide the
day from the night, that they may be unto signs, seasons, days and years. And let
them be lights in the firmament of heaven, to shine upon the earth: And so it
was. And God made two great lights: A greater light to rule the day, and a less
light to rule the night: and he made stars also. And God put them in the
firmament of heaven to shine upon the earth, and to rule the day and the night:
and to divide the light from darkness. And God saw that it was good: and so of
the evening and morning was made the fourth day.
And God said: let the water bring forth creatures that move and have life, and
fowls for to fly over the earth under the firmament of heaven. And God created
great whales and all manner of creatures that live and move, which the waters
brought forth in their kinds, and all manner of feathered fowls in their kinds.
And God saw that it was good: and God blessed them saying: Grow and
multiply and fill the waters of the seas, and let the fowls multiply upon the earth.
And so of the evening and morning was made the fifth day.
And God said: let the earth bring forth living creatures in their kinds: cattle
and worms and beasts of the earth in their kinds, and so it came to pass. And
God made the beasts of the earth in their kinds, and cattle in their kinds, and all
manner worms of the earth in their kinds: and God saw that it was good.
And God said: let us make man in our similitude and after our likeness: that
he may have rule over the fish of the sea, and over the fowls of the air, and over
cattle, and over all the earth, and over all worms that creep on the earth. And
God created man after his likeness, after the likeness of God created he him:
male and female created he them.
And God blessed them, and God said unto them: Grow and multiply and fill
the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fishes of the sea, and over
the fowls of the air, and over all the beasts that move on the earth.
And God said: see, I have given you all herbs that sow seed, which are on the
earth, and all manner trees that have fruit in them and sow seed: to be meat for
you and for all beasts of the earth, and unto all fowls of the air and unto all that
creepeth on the earth where in is life, that they may have all manner herbs and
grass for to eat, and even so it was. And God beheld all that he had made, and lo
they were exceeding good: and so of the evening and morning was made the
sixth day.
[Chpt 2] Thus was heaven and earth finished with all their apparel, and in
the seventh day God ended his work which he had made, and rested in the
seventh day from all his works which he had made. And God blessed the
seventh day, and sanctified it, for in it he rested from all his works which he had
created and made.
These are the generations of heaven and earth when they were created, in the
time when the Lord God created heaven and earth and all the shrubs of the field
before they were in the earth. And all the herbs of the field before they sprang,
for the Lord God had yet sent no rain upon the earth, neither was there yet any
man to till the earth. But there arose a mist out of the ground, and watered all
the face of the earth: Then the Lord God shaped man, even of the mould of the
earth, and breathed into his face the breath of life. So man was made a living
soul.
The Lord God also planted a garden in Eden from the beginning, and there he
set man whom he had formed. And the Lord God made to spring out of the
earth, all manner trees beautiful to the sight and pleasant to eat, and the tree of
life in the midst of the garden: and also the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
And there sprang a river out of Eden to water the garden, and there divided
Chpt 2 The First Book of Moses 3 also called Genesis if from the Latin
itself, and grew into four principal waters. The name of the one is Phison, he it
is that compasses all the land of Hevila, where gold groweth. And the gold of
that country is precious, there is found Bedellion and a stone called Onyx. The
name of the second river is Gihon, which compasses all the land of Inde. And
the name of the third river is Hidekell, which runneth on the east side of the
Assyrians. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
And the Lord God took Adam, and put him in the garden of Eden, to dress it
and to keep it. And the Lord God commanded Adam saying: Of all the trees of
the garden see thou eat: But of the tree of knowledge of good and bad see that
thou eat not: For even the same day thou eatest of it thou shalt die the death.
And the Lord God said: It is not good that man should be alone, I will make
him an helper to bear him company. And after that the Lord God had made of
the earth all manner beasts of the field, and all manner fowls of the air, he
brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them. And as Adam called
all manner living beasts, even so are their names. And Adam gave names unto
all manner cattle, and unto the fowls of the air, and unto all manner beasts of the
field. But there was no help found unto Adam to bear him company.
Then the Lord God cast a slumber on Adam, and he slept. And then he took
out one of his ribs, and in stead thereof he filled up the place with flesh. And the
Lord God made of the rib which he took out of Adam, a woman: and brought
her unto Adam. Then said Adam: This is once bone of my bones, and flesh of
my flesh. This shall be called woman: because she was taken of the man. For
this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and cleave unto his wife, and
they shall be one flesh. And they were either of them naked, both Adam and his
wife, and were not ashamed.
[Chpt 3] But the serpent was subtler than all the beasts of the field, which
the Lord God had made: and said unto the woman: you, hath God said in deed,
you shall not eat of all manner trees in the garden? And the woman said unto the
serpent, of the fruit of the trees in the garden we may eat, but of the fruit of the
tree that is in the midst of the garden ( said God ) see that ye eat not, and see
that ye touch it not, lest ye die. Then said the serpent unto the woman: tush ye
shall not die: but God doth know that whensoever ye should eat of it, your eyes
should be opened, and ye should be as God, and know both good and evil. And
the woman saw that it was a good tree to eat of, and lusty unto the eyes, and a
pleasant tree for to give understanding. And took of the fruit of it and ate, and
gave unto her husband also with her, and he ate. And the eyes of both of them
were opened, that they understood how that they were naked. Then they sewed
fig leaves together and made them aprons.
And they heard the voice of the Lord God as he walked in the garden in the
cool of the day. And Adam hid himself and his wife also from the face of the
Lord God, among the trees of the garden. And the Lord God called Adam, and
said unto him: where art thou? And he answered: Thy voice I heard in the
garden, but I was afraid, because I was naked, and therefore hid myself. And he
said: Who told thee that thou wast naked? hast thou eaten of the tree, of which I
bade thee that thou shouldest not eat? And Adam answered: The woman which
thou gavest to bear me company, she took me of the tree, and I ate. And the
Lord God said unto the woman: Wherefore didest thou so? And the woman
answered: The serpent deceived me and I ate.
And the Lord God said unto the serpent: because thou hast so done most
cursed be thou of all cattle and of all beasts of the field: upon thy belly shalt
thou go: and earth shalt thou eat all days of thy life. Moreover I will put hatred
between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed. And that seed
shall tread thee on the head, and thou shalt tread it on the heel.
And unto the woman he said: I will surely increase thy sorrow, and make thee
oft with child, and with pain shalt thou be delivered: And thy lusts shall pertain
unto thy husband, and he shall rule thee.
And unto Adam he said: Forasmuch as thou hast obeyed the voice of thy wife,
and hast eaten of the tree of which I commanded thee, saying: See thou eat not
thereof: cursed be the earth for thy sake. In sorrow shalt thou eat thereof all
days of thy life: And it shall bear thorns and thistles unto thee. And thou shalt
eat the herbs of the field. In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, until thou
return unto the earth whence thou wast taken: for earth thou art, and unto earth
shalt thou return.
And Adam called his wife Heva, because she was the mother of all that liveth.
And the Lord God made Adam and his wife garments of skins, and put them on
them. And the Lord God said: Lo, Adam is become as it were one of us, in
knowledge of good and evil. But now lest he stretch forth his hand and take also
of the tree of life, and eat and live ever. And the Lord God cast him out of the
garden of Eden, to till the earth whence he was taken. And he cast Adam out,
and set at the entering of the garden Eden, Cherubim with a naked sword
moving in and out, to keep the way to the tree of life.
Chpt 1 The Gospel of St John
In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God: and
the word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were
made by it, and without it, was made nothing that was made. In it was life, and
the life was the light of men, and the light shineth in the darkness, but the
darkness comprehended it not.
Chpt 11 The Revelation of St John
And the seventh angel blew, and there were made great voices in heaven,
saying: the kingdoms of this world are our Lords and his Christs, and he shall
reign for evermore. And the twenty four elders, which sit before God on their
seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God saying: we give thee thanks
Lord God almighty: which art and wast, and art to come, for thou hast received
thy great might, and hast reigned. And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is
come, and the time of the dead that they should be judged and that thou
shouldest give reward unto thy servants the Prophets and Saints, and to them
that fear thy name small and great and shouldest destroy them, which destroy
the earth. And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in
his temple, the ark of his testament: and there followed lightnings, and voices,
and thunderings and earthquake, and much hail.
