The Prophecies of the Holy Prophets Sefer Zenock The words and visions of Zenock, son of Zenoch, for the Word of YHVH did come to him in the days when Zimriy was king over Israel; Chapter 1 Zenock speaks, expounding the scriptures, filled with the Holy Spirit of truth. And it came to pass that Zenock (צנך) being filled with the Breath of YHVH did open his lips, saying: We have been given the words of Moses, which is the teachings of YHVH through that mighty hand; And this wisdom has been passed down through the servants of YHVH, even the prophets, that we would have His Word: That we might seek YHVH with all of our hearts and all of our souls; to love everything that YHVH hath given us, and to hate all that which YHVH doth hate; For we do know that Moses did teach us to observe to do all that our Elohim, YHVH, did instruct us; Therefore, we should be like unto the sons of our father, Joseph, even Manasseh and Ephraim. and turn aside not to the right hand nor to the left. Yea, and Moses did teach us to walk in all the ways YHVH, our Elohim, did instruct us, that we may live, and that it may be well with us; ¶ And should we do this, Moses did even give us the Word of YHVH, saying: Wherefore, thou shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and thou shall dwell in the land in safety. And behold, ye do see the good things with which YHVH hath blessed His people; Yea, and His mercy has not blessed your hearts that ye should give even as ye have been blessed or even as ye have been given; Therefore, there is much injustice, and the rich do keep for themselves, and the poor, they are cast aside and discarded. ¶ Yet did not Moses give unto us the Word of YHVH when he did say unto us: Thy desire shall be unto thy own, lest thou be corrupt, and the hand of thy neighbors be against thee, and the cry of the poor ascend to YHVH against thee. And yet the poor do cry out unto YHVH even unto this day, seeking salvation from hunger and from thirst, and for relief for their impoverishment. ¶ And behold, Moses did say: Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause; but shall feed and clothe the poor among thee that my people be free, and their wants and needs be met. And is there no poor amongst us? I say unto thee: Nay; the poor do scurry about in search for substance and in fear that they be molested when they have committed no crimes. ¶ And Moses did say: For when thou art obedient unto my covenant thou shalt be blessed, and prosper in the land that I shall give unto thee; But when thou art not faithful, then shall my wrath be poured out upon thee. And ye see that we have been a blessed people, but have we kept our mitzvoth? I say unto thee again: Nay; therefore, ye have no promise. ¶ And again, Moses did say unto us: And if thy brother or thy sister should wax poor and fall in decay with thee, then thou shalt relieve them; Yea, though they be a stranger or a sojourner, that they may live with thee. Take thou no usury of them, or increase; but fear thy Elohim, that thy brother or sister may live with thee. Thou shalt not give them thy money upon usury nor lend them thy food or provisions for increase. And yet ye would cast me out from amongst you for saying these things? And I know you sought to destroy me, but YHVH did deliver me from out of thy hands. And yet I am one of you, for I am of the seed of Joseph through my mother, and my father be a Levite and a Priest unto this people. ¶ And seeing that I have cast aside the things of the earth, and I know ye think me mad, For I do come before thee in sackcloth and ashes for the bondage and affliction that ye have caused your brothers and your sisters to suffer before YHVH; And I say unto all of you that do hear my voice: It is YHVH who does judge all things in righteousness; Therefore, be slow to hear the cries of the widows and the fatherless no more, and cast out the poor from amongst you no more; But lift them up even as YHVH hath lifted you up; yea, do this and ye shall walk in perfection in the sight of YHVH. For in loving your fellow men and fellow women you shall not stray from the truth but will walk in the perfection of the path of YHVH, our Elohim. ¶ For YHVH hath said unto me: Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brothers and sisters, to thy poor, and to thy needy in thy lands. Wherefore, if ye will heed not unto my works, listen then to the words of Moses, friend of YHVH; for he did speak truly unto our fathers and our mothers, that we would know. Shower not thy gift unto the Priest, and this I say when ye know that my father is a Priest amongst you, Wait not for the sons of Aaron to give your tithes unto the poor, or for the Priests to bless the poor with your tithes and your offerings; but give to the poor amongst you freely of yourselves! ¶ And I do say unto you this day: That when our fathers and our mothers did enter into that covenant, we too did enter therein by their blood which is in us; Therefore, all that YHVH did promise to bless them with, He should bless us with, and all that YHVH did promise to curse them with, He should curse us with. And all of Israel did enter into that covenant; therefore, all that have sinned shall confess their sins: For even as we have walked away from that truth it shall be justice that we are given. Yet YHVH doth continue to shower many among us with His blessing, and why does He bless these? That they might bestow their gifts unto another. ¶ Yea, and we see that YHVH has showered His merciful favor, blessing us with the good things of the earth; Therefore, may YHVH light up our hearts that we would see the countenance of His favor that we have been given! ¶ Yet YHVH hath sent me amongst you, saying: Accursed ye shall be for your wickedness, and if ye do not repent His justice shall come among you! For the darkness of your deeds be great in His sight, and with that same mercy that ye have given shall ye receive; Therefore, all they that deny mercy unto their brothers and their sisters shall the mercy of YHVH be denied. ¶ And when you do hear the Voice of the Covenant in your hearts, saying: Would that I have peace! Know that it is the darkness of your hearts that hath brought forth His anger. And all they that have kept the covenant shall say: Amen unto your destruction, for the stubbornness of Israel shall be her justice! ¶ But know too that YHVH is mercy, and that He doth cleanse us of our sins: And for this YHVH shall send His Son, that redemption should come through Him; For I have seen the redemption of Israel; and it shall be swift in the righteousness of YHVH. Wherefore, know ye that all that YHVH Elohim hath built, he too will destroy, and that all that YHVH should destroy, He will build it up again. ¶ For YHVH did give unto us the Sabbaths and the Holy Days, and these He did give unto us as signs that He would come unto us in the flesh. And when the Son of Man will come, He will again take Israel from out of her bondage, but it shall be from the bondage of her sins. And it shall be even as Moses was told of the Passover, for what shall be required of the Son of Man but that He should be taken from amongst His people? But Israel shall see that justice cannot be taken nor can mercy be destroyed, and that the light of His mercy shall stand forever and ever to satisfy the demands of justice; And in this ye shall know that there shall be bitter weeping and much destruction before the end should come. ¶ And I know that at these words ye do desire my blood, but it shall not be spilt yet, for YHVH hath given me more to say. And I know that ye will not hear nor harken unto my words; therefore I give them not for you, But that they should be preserved to be heard by they of our seed, even of Ephraim and Manasseh, they that shall be called away even unto the isles of the seas, And they shall read my works and shall know that it is unto them that I speak. And also, unto they that are of Israel in the last days, for these words shall come forth as a warning and all they that the Breath of Elohim doeth guide to hear them. ¶ Wherefore I say unto thee: Write ye my words that ye may use them as a sign against me this day, and that our seed might read them as a light in the darkness in their days. For the things of YHVH are unknown to they that are the workers of darkness, though the legacy (inheritance or portion) of the sons and daughters of Adam be that they should know good from evil. ¶ But what has mankind done with this gift but give evil for good and evil for evil? And are these the ways of YHVH, our Elohim? I say unto thee nay, for Moses did give unto us the Word of YHVH, saying: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. And Moses did say unto us further: If a stranger should sojourn with thee in thy land, thou shall not vex them; But the stranger that dwelleth with thee shall be unto thee as one born among you, And thou shalt love them as thyself; for thou wast a stranger in the land of Egypt; and I am YHVH, thy Elohim. Wherefore, I would ask you: Who then is thy neighbor? ¶ And again, Moses did say unto our fathers: And if a stranger shall sojourn among you and will keep the Passover, According to the ordinance of the Passover and according to the manner thereof, so shall they do; Thou shall have one ordinance, both for the stranger and for they who were born in the land. Therefore, I do say unto you this day: Thy neighbor and the stranger, these are one in YHVH, For there is but one Passover and thus one salvation for both the stranger and for they that are born in the land. Wherefore, beware of pride in these things, for all the creation is as one unto YHVH. ¶ And when the Son of Man should come, He shall come unto His people first, and then He shall send Israel out to teach the world. And why should He do this thing? Because the love of YHVH is great for this, His creation, and all of mankind He would bless through His servant, Israel: Wherefore, it is in this, at the end, that YHVH shall bring us into His new creation; For YHVH doth know the stubbornness of His people, and He doth pity and succor us with His grace. ¶ Yet the time does soon come when we too shall see His justice and plea for His mercy, even as the poor amongst you do plea for your mercy. Will you then hear their pleas that YHVH should hear your cries in your time of need? And perhaps thou might say: But YHVH shall bless him for YHVH, our Elohim hath blessed me as such! ¶ But I say unto you: Thou doth not know the mercy nor the blessing of YHVH; for all that He does give doth belong to YHVH, think not that it be of thy strength, But know that YHVH doth give freely unto they that He doth bless that these should bless they that YHVH doth send unto them: Wherefore, I say again unto thee, even as Moses hath said: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself; Therefore, all that YHVH hath blessed thee with, He hath given that ye should bless your neighbors. ¶ And again, I say unto all you who would hear my words: Harken now unto the word which YHVH hath breathed unto me. And this shall be a sign: Though ye do seek to take my life, ye shall not have it, But YHVH shall deliver me unto you even unto my death if it should be the will of El Elyon, once His Word hath been spoken through his servant. For my words must be known and should be written down, That they who shall be taken unto the isles of the seas be warned that they should know to reject the man of lies and to believe the words of the teachers of YHVH. Chapter 2 Zenock tells of his vision. Even as a boy, my father did instruct me in the ways of YHVH, and he did teach me the Word of YHVH as given by His servant, Moses, And I did learn of our father, Joseph and our mother, Aseneth; And they did have a great knowledge of the goodness and the mysteries of God, consisting of the wisdom of Israel and the language of the Egyptians. And it came to pass that I did come to know that the mysteries of the Torah would not be revealed by committing the Word to memory, nor from following the blindness of men; But the truth of the Torah was a gift to be given of YHVH Elohim unto all they who do seek to uncover her face, and learn her wisdom, and her truth, and her secrets. ¶ And it came to pass that as I grew, I did see that many availed themselves not to the Teachings of YHVH, our Elohim, But did turn themselves unto that of idolatrous nations, and the arts and suspicions of men that do call themselves prophets, yet they do see vanity, and divine not but lies. And upon seeing this, I did turn unto YHVH, the Elohim of my fathers, and your fathers, even Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that I should learn and know. ¶ And it came to pass that after ten years of study, and of prayer, and of supplication unto YHVH, the eyes of my understanding were opened, and I did know. And upon entering into the council of the quidoshim (Hebrew קְדֹשִׁים, "holy ones”) or the knowledge of the holy angels of YHVH and being filled with the mercy of Elohim Shaddai, I was privy to the Divine Wisdom. Now in this time, I did travel, seeking truth from any that the Voice did direct me to seek; I was given to travel four years to the north, and I did rest not for I did not find any seeking that which YHVH had sent me to find there. And I did find rest to the east for three years, and I did study there, and to the west I did wonder for one year, and I did travel two years to the south. And everywhere YHVH did send me, I did find the poor, and my pity I did give unto them, even until all of my substance was gone and I had nothing left of myself. ¶ And it came to pass that as I did return unto the house of my father, in the seventh month of the tenth year of my travels, I did find lodging in the hut of a poor man and his wife. Now this man, he being of great age, and his wife too being of a great age, they did beg for their substance, yet they did find it in their hearts to give unto me all that they did have. Yet I could not sleep in their bed, which was but layers of old tattered rags upon the earth of their hut; Therefore, I did give unto them the last of my things, this consisting of my bedding and the remainder of the provisions and I did wish to find rest upon the earth. And they did protest, for they desired nothing but the comfort of their guest; therefore, I did run off, leaving all of my things, and I did find shelter in a cave not far off. ¶ And it came to pass that in the morning, upon my return, I did see that the hut stood there no more, Yet I could see the markings upon the ground that did show unto me that this was the very place that I had sought shelter the night before. And I did throw myself unto the earth, for I did desire to know where the old man and his wife had gone, and I did fear for their very lives. ¶ And it came to pass that as I prayed, a light did descend from the heavens unto me, and I did see that an angel of YHVH stood there before me. And at the first, I was sore afraid, yet the peace of Elohim did wash over me, and the messenger did speak unto me, saying: YHVH hath forgiven thee thy sins, and hath called thee to teach His people; therefore, rise up, and get thee back to that cave, that I might teach thee there the things of YHVH. And it came to pass that I did get myself up, and I did travel back into that cave where I had found shelter. ¶ And it came to pass that when I did find again that cave, I did see that same light emanating from within. And it came to pass that upon entering the cave, I did fall to prostrate myself before that angel, and did ask him of the old man and his wife, for I did still fear for their safety. ¶ And the angel did speak unto me saying: Arise, and worship me not, for I am but a malak of YHVH; And fear not for those whom thou doth seek, for they too are servants of YHVH; therefore thou wast serving malakim unaware. Behold, Ha’Elohim hath seen you, and how thou hast served Him these ten years; For thou didst travel to the north four years, and then unto the east three years, and then west one year, and then unto the south for two years; Now, today, in the tenth year of thy travels, step again outside this cave and look up, and thou shall find what thou doth seek. ¶ And it came to pass that as I left the cave, there was a light, even brighter than the sun at noon day, And my eyes could not see of themselves the vision that was placed before me, for I beheld that the heavens did open, and within was found the whole of creation. And so it was that I did see myself once more as a boy, and then as an old man; And as I, myself, yet surrounded in the riches of the things of this world, and as myself, in poverty and despair; And as a lord over many, and as the servant of a lord who took not pity upon those that did serve him. ¶ And a voice came out of that light, saying: Zenock, I have seen thee in every form, and in each thou art faithful; Therefore, fear not, I am He who has travel with thee all these ten years, and I am the Father and the Son; I am He that sitteth upon that throne that ruleth over Ha’Elohim. And even now, thou doth bask in the Presence of Elohim, in Her divine wisdom and light; were it not so, thou couldst not see me, nor could thou bear my light; For it is the light and the life of the world, and in it is life everlasting, life eternal; for I am the well from which the water of life pours freely. And it is I that shall be lifted up upon a tree, and this that after I have been lifted up, all mankind might be drawn unto me. And I have called thee, even as I did call my servant Moses from that bush even as it was ablaze, yet it burned not. Listen now to the teachings of my malak, and thou shall learn truth, and teach this truth unto my people, And they that would listen shall write them, thy words, and preserve them that they should be brought forth at the last days as a testimony that I did call thee and that thou art my servant. ¶ And it came to pass that the heavens did close, and I did fall helpless unto the earth, weakened from the vision that I had been given. And it came to pass that when I did awaken, I did find myself looking again into the heavens, And seeing that I had no strength in me, I did lay there until I had recovered enough that I could make my way back into that cave, And there I did rest, and I did find sleep, all that time pondering the things I had seen and heard. Chapter 3 The teachings of an angel of the Lord. And it came to pass that on the morning I did awaken, and was tired from hunger and thirst, for my body was weakened of the things of the flesh. And it came to pass that the angel did instruct me to go up out of that cave, and there I did find manna to eat; And when I had eaten my fill, the angel, he did instruct me to take a stick and to strike a rock, even as Moses and Aaron had; and water did flow out from it. And it came to pass that I did fall to the earth and praise YHVH for the nourishment he had provided unto me. ¶ And it came to pass that the angel did speak unto me again, saying: I am Haniel, I am he that did give unto Israel that Torah whilst in the flesh; Yea, and I was taken up, for I did not give unto YHVH His due, even as thou did when the water sprang forth from that rock. And it has been given me of YHVH to teach thee and to instruct thee in the ways of YHVH Elohim, That thou might return and teach all they that would partake of the Breath and harken unto the Voice of Yah. ¶ And now I do say unto thee, even as thou didst travel these ten years, growing in YHVH: There are ten plagues that do draw mankind away from YHVH, our Elohim. The first of these is Lilith, given to flee the light into the darkness; and this is the beginning of that path. And the second, he is the leviathan of the abyss; these are they that care not for mankind but only for their own lives; the slanderer, they who do bear false witness. The third is the secret combination, all those that would make a secret for their increase and keep it; and this was the sin of Cain. And the fourth is the impurity or the adultery of mankind; they that seek to break the covenant. And the fifth, she is war and bloodshed, murder for to get gain; she is even in all they that do make plans to spill blood. And the sixth is the pride of the ignorant; they that have no love in their hearts for the earth, nor for the creation, nor for the wisdom of their mothers or their fathers, rejecting the wisdom of experience. And the seventh is the rage of mankind, who in anger and their greed doth seek to destroy that which YHVH doth create and hath no love for their neighbors. And the eighth is the Sabbath breaker; both they who do worship the Sabbath and they who do reject it. And the ninth is the blasphemer, they who do take upon themselves the name of YHVH but do not walk as such. And the tenth is the idol maker, even they who do know YHVH Elohim, yet they do build up the things of mankind to place them before YHVH. And these are the enemies of YHVH and the enemies of Yah, therefore they are the enemies of Israel. ¶ And behold, YHVH Elohim, in Wisdom and Glory, hath warned the earth of these plagues from before the beginning; Yet from the beginning have these tried and tested mankind, and for this reason was this creation made, even to place mankind into the fire of temptation; To burn out the wickedness even as one would burn out the dross from the silver, that ye might find comfort and be made clean by that fire of the refiner, That having been made pure and righteous, thou should stand and be ready before YHVH at that last day. For in this world, the light hath been mixed with the darkness, and so it was that in the beginning, the light was separated from that darkness. ¶ And so it is that when a man or a woman doth take upon themselves the name of YHVH, that light is separated from the darkness, and they are made clean; Therefore, I do say unto all mankind: Ye must take upon you the name of YHVH Tzidqenu Ha’Mashiach, for it is by this name that ye shall be called at that last day. But know that YHVH Tzidqenu Ha’Mashiach is eternal, being from everlasting to everlasting; therefore, YHVH is beyond the understanding of mankind. Wherefore, YHVH doth hide His face from they that would not see Him, and doth only reveal His face unto they that do seek Him, showing unto them only that which they might see; For if YHVH Tzidqenu Ha’Mashiach were to show himself fully unto mankind, and not of the temporal, but of the spiritual, not of the carnal mind, but of the Glory of Elohim, If they were to see Him as He is, they would see the form of a man beyond all description, and beyond all comprehension. ¶ And so it is that should any that come before YHVH Elohim to stand in the Presence or to see His face, they should see with their spiritual eyes, even as thou didst; Therefore, thou should teach all mankind to seek the Presence and to harken unto the Voice, even as thou hast done, and the things of the spirit shall be made manifest and known unto them. ¶ And I say unto thee: There are those now that do walk the earth and there shall be those in the last days also that shall seek the company of the sa'iyr and the shed, And these would do so thinking they might learn from them, or take some control over them: Yea, and it will even be that records shall come forth to tempt mankind that these are things of righteousness. ¶ But behold, I say unto thee and all they that would hear and heed thy words: These things are priestcrafts and not of Elohim, but of that devil who desireth to stir up the hearts of mankind in his deceptions; And these priestcrafts were given of that Satan to drive the hearts of mankind away from the things of YHVH, that they should be fearful of Him and their fates at that last day. Therefore, thou shalt abstain from this evil, that YHVH Elohim should sanctify thee and that thy body and soul be blameless at the last day, And that YHVH Tzidqenu Ha’Mashiach should raise thee up, and seal thee in His light, Being washed clean in the water of life, and that death should not have power over thee forever and ever; amen. ¶ And it came to pass that the angel did continue to speak unto me, and to teach me the things of YHVH for many days, even that I did not keep count of them. But I did write his words, and I did come forth from that cave, and did travel back to the lands of my father, That I might teach you to avoid that which doth plague Israel, that the people of YHVH should keep our covenant with Him, that we should not lose our lands. And would ye listen? Nay, but ye have taken me, and tried me, and paid your judges to condemn me, though I have done no wrong. And it is even as the angel did speak, for in taking me you did spread the plagues of rage, and of ignorance, and of back biting, and slander. Therefore, I say unto all of you this day: Come now unto YHVH, our Elohim, in teshuvah; Leave behind your priestcrafts, and your wicked ways that YHVH should spare His people; Lay down your pride, and come forth anew in our covenant with YHVH, that we should find safety and peace, in this, the land that YHVH did promise unto our fathers. And now, do with me as ye will, for I am not in thy hand, but I am in the hands of YHVH Tzidqenu Ha’Mashiach, And I know that whatever should be done unto me, it is not my will, but the will of that Elohim that did send me. And I see that ye have made a record of my words, and I know that these words will be kept, that it shall be made known at that last day, that I do serve YHVH, my Elohim. And YHVH shall raise up all they that do serve Him unto life everlasting, and take away death for ever and ever. Therefore, if ye should take my blood, know that ye shall do it as a testimony against you at that last day; so mote it be, amen. Chapter 4 The death of Zenock. And it came to pass that Zenock did cease in his speaking, and those that had been held back as though he had been guarded round bout by the malakim of YHVH were able to stand once more. And so it was that they did take him, and he did fall to his judges, and was to be put to death by stoning; For those that did judge him wished him strangled, for he was accused of prophesying falsely; For he did say that the reign of Zimriy, king of Israel, should be short, yet because of the power of his words, none dared to put hands upon him. And thus it was that the judge did say that he had worked the necromancy in talking to the malakim of YHVH, our Elohim. ¶ And it came to pass that they did take this man, Zenock, from out of the city, and there the Priest did throw the first stone. And it came to pass that when the stone did strike him, it cut him; yet before that stone even hit the dirt, the sky grew dark, and the priest was struck dead by lightning. And so it was that they did come to place a heavy stone; yea, even a stone that was more than twice the height of him. ¶ And it came to pass that before they could place that stone upon him, Zenock did look up at the storm, saying: Thou art angry, O YHVH, with this people, for they do not understand of thy mercies which thou hast bestowed upon them because of thy Son. And behold, this is the very root of the Torah, every word and every whit of it doth point to that great and last sacrifice; And that great and last sacrifice will be the Son of Elohim, yea, infinite and eternal; and thus YHVH shall bring salvation to all who do believe on Ha’Shem. And so shall it be that mercy will satisfy the demands of justice; therefore, all they who will walk in teshuvah, in this last sacrifice, shall be saved by their faith, for it is a free gift! Wherefore, I do say unto thee this day: Cry unto YHVH for mercy; for YHVH is mighty to save! And to do this, thou must begin to humble thyself, and continue in prayer unto YHVH; Therefore, cry unto YHVH when thou art in thy fields, yea, cry over all thy herds and thy flocks. And cry unto YHVH in thy house; yea, over all thy household, in the mornings, midday, and evenings. And cry unto YHVH, our Elohim, even against the power of our enemies; yea, cry unto YHVH against the adversary, that one who is the enemy of all righteousness. And cry unto YHVH over the crops of thy fields, that thou may prosper in the lands; cry over the flocks of thy fields, that they may increase. And I say unto you: This is not all; therefore, pour out thy soul in thy canopy, and thy secret chamber, and in the wilderness. And when thou cannot cry unto YHVH, let thy heart be full, drawn out in prayer unto YHVH continually for thy welfare and also for the welfare of thy neighbors. And now, behold, I say unto you: Do not think that this is all thou must do, For after thou hast prayed all these things, if thou should turn away the needy and the naked, and visit not the sick and afflicted, and impart not of that which YHVH hast blessed thee with, giving unto all they who stand in need; I say unto thee now: That if thou should doest not any of these things, behold, thy prayers are in vain and availeth thee nothing; And this because thou art as the godless ones who do deny the truth; Therefore, if thou remember not to be charitable, then thou hast gone aside of that path which is straight, and it being of no worth, thou shall be trodden under the feet of men. And in that day that death shall be conquered, I say unto you: That in that day, the isles of the sea shall see the people mourning, for all they who are without remorse and without pity shall be destroyed. The earth shall break apart and come back together, and winds shall come and removed cities; yea, and fire shall burn them up, and the people shall sink into the seas. ¶ And after he had said this, it came to pass that the people did drop the stone upon him, and he could speak no more; And so it was that this man, Zenock, a prophet of YHVH, he did give up the ghost. Yea, and it came to pass that his words did touch the hearts of some of the people there, and we did write his words. And so it was that we did meet together in secret, that we too might not be put to death, even as Zenock, prophet of YHVH, had been put to death. ¶ And it came to pass that we did write down his words to our remembrance of them. And so it was that we did begin to pray, even has Zenock had reminded us, And we did give of our substance to those in need, and even unto they who did not need but did ask of us, And this we did that we might not be condemned of YHVH, our Elohim, but should be remembered by Him. ¶ And it came to pass that we did begin to search the hills for the cave of which he did speak, searching out the record of Zenock. And it came to pass that there was one in our midst, Baraq, son of Laman, who had heard the voice of Zenock in the wilderness, and whose heart was pierced; Therefore, he did believe all the things that the prophet did speak, and he did tell it unto his father, and they were ordained by the hand of Zenock, both Baraq and his father, Laman. And so it was that Laman had been chosen to lead the hearers of the Word, for this is what we were called who did harken unto Zenock, the prophet of YHVH. And so it was that he did dream a dream in which a malak did lead him to a certain path where he did find the cave of Zenock; And it came to pass that this man, Baraq, did lead us to that cave, and there we did find the treasures of YHVH, even the word of YHVH as given through Zenock, the prophet of YHVH. The Record of Zenock The writings found in the cave of Zenock (The Second Section of Zenock on the Plates) Chapter 5 The teachings of the angels of the Lord. And it came to pass that after traveling for ten years — and these ten years were years of much study, and of much prayer, and of much supplication unto YHVH, my Elohim — That I, Zenock (צנך), was removed from the earth (or removed from about the land) and taken into a cave where I was taught in the ways of YHVH by the malakim of YHVH. ¶ And it came to pass that in that day, after I had eaten of the manna of YHVH, that I did pray in thanksgiving, saying: O YHVH, Creator of the earth, the heavens above, and the abyss below; One who reigns over the Tehom (Hebrew תְּהוֹם, “the deep” or “the abyss”), sovereign of the Shamayim (Hebrew שָׁמַיִם, “the heavens” or “the skys”), Thy will governs over all the Erets (Hebrew ארץ, “earth” or “land”); Peace would be thy weapon of war, for thou are crowned in all glory and have shared thy glory with Israel by thy Torah, should we but hear thy Word by it; You have brought me into thy Presence, and sought to teach me by thy malakim, even as thou did teach my parents, Adam and Eve; all glory be thine: Amen and amen. ¶ And it came to pass that after this, the malak, the name of him being Haniel (חניאל), did call me forth, saying unto me: Behold, I shall come again in ten days; and it shall be that while thou dost wait upon my return, thou shall meditate each day, eating only of that manna which thou shall gather from the ground outside this cave, and drink only the water from that rock. And as thou shall do this: Thou shalt meditate facing the north the first four days, and then facing the east for three days, and then facing the west for one day, and then facing the south for two days; and then at the last, shall I return. And so it was that I did meditate facing the north the first four days, and then facing the east for three days, and then facing the west for one day, and then facing the south for two days, eating only manna from the land about the cave, and only drinking water that flowed freely from the rock for these ten days. And each day I did meditate upon that year that did correspond with each day, and all the things which I had learned. ¶ And it came to pass that in the evening of the tenth day that the malak, Haniel, did return, and with him came another and one more. And it came to pass that Haniel did ask me of my meditations, and if I had faced the north the first four days, and then facing the east for three days, and then facing the west for one day, and then facing the south for two days. And thus it was that I had, and thus it was that I told him so. ¶ And it came to pass that the second malak did come forth, saying: I am Raziel (רזיאל God is my secret) that came unto our first parents, even Adam and Eve, to teach them their Torah and their mitzvoth; And I am Raphael (רְפאל healing of God) that did stir the waters that they should be used for healing; And I am Melchizedek who did bless thy father and thy mother, Abram and Sarai, and through my hand did YHVH gift unto them new names, even Abraham and Sarah. And behold me, that I am in the flesh, for I was taken as was Enoch, for I did walk with YHVH, and I was taken; Therefore, I have been instructed that I should bless thee, and ordain thee with the keys of Enoch and of Abraham, That what thou should seal upon the earth shall be sealed in the heavens and what thou should loose upon the earth shall be loosed in the heavens. ¶ And I do say now unto thee: The strong shall fall to the earth, and the mighty shall be turned to dust, therefore O man (Adam), where is thy strength? For the chariot of YHVH doth ride amongst the clouds, and YHVH doth look down to smite and cut off the enemy. ¶ And who is it that would strive to challenge the seat of the dominion of El Elyon? Who should, in his vanity, seek to set his throne above the stars? Death seeks to judge the creation of Elohim, even that creation that was made by the very Word of YHVH, and the hand of Ha’Elohim, ¶ But death shall be conquered, death shall fall before the very name of YHVH and give up all that he did take, For life (Eve) shall conquer and she shall conquer in the very name of YHVH Elohim, for He is El Olam. ¶ And now I shall tell thee how to conquer death: In homage to YHVH thou shall build up His temple, And this shall not be a temple of wood, nor of silver, nor of gold; nor shall it be built of fine linin, nor of tables with bread to eat, nor fine things for which to honor or give glory to YHVH. Nay, but this shall be a temple built not of the hands of mankind (Adam) but built of life (Eve) herself, that it cannot die. For thy skin shall be the vestment of the temple of YHVH, and blood, and sweat, and tears shall be the libations of it, and the fire of thy passions shall be the coals of it. ¶ What then shall be the sacrifice? O man, there shall be no suffering in this temple, but the joy of service, For when thou doth lift up thy hand to help another of this, the creation of YHVH, it shall be done by the heart which was broken, and thy spirit contrite in sacrifice. ¶ And only by serving this creation can YHVH be appeased, for doth not the Torah of Moses, which was given unto Israel by the very hand of YHVH, say: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, I am YHVH, thy Elohim. And who is thy neighbor? It is they that love thee? I say unto thee: Yea; And it is they that hate thee? I say unto thee: Yea. And this is not all, for it is also they that know thee not: And thy neighbor is the calf that did fall into the ditch, and thy neighbor is that lamb that did fall into the well, and thy neighbor is that oxen that did fall into the snare; And thy neighbor is that tree that was struck down with the ax and left to rot, and thy neighbor is that flower plucked from the field and thrown away, and thy neighbor is that fruit that was plucked up and not eaten. ¶ Wherefore do I say unto thee: Love not only that which can be set up for thy benefit, but love all the creation of YHVH Elohim, Do this and thou shall be perfect, even as YHVH Elohim, who’s chariot doth ride in the North winds; For the rains that are sent down by Ha’Elohim do water the fields of they that be good and they that be evil, that all are blessed; Therefore, judge not, O man, but bless all they that stand in need and give the glory unto YHVH, your Elohim. Chapter 6 The Torah holds the seeds of eternal life. And the angel did speak again unto me, saying: Behold the Torah, it was given not only unto Israel but unto the world by Moses, friend of YHVH, blessed be he: For Moses did speak unto YHVH face to face, and unto Moses and Zipporah did YHVH give the Torah, For the angel of YHVH did lead them up unto a high mountain, that they should be high above the clouds, that they should see the stars, for this is where the Torah is written. And YHVH, your Elohim, did write them, the words of the Torah, onto two sapphire tablets that Israel should always have the Torah before them. And so it was that YHVH did send them into the wilderness (Mormon) that they should receive (qabbalah/Kabbalah) the Torah and pass it down unto every generation until the end of time and times. ¶ And what is this tradition (Kabbalah)? It is to study and know the Torah, that the covenant should be met and Israel know her mitzvoth. And if those who study her mysteries cannot explain the Torah to a child, they do not know her secrets, for the mysteries are too simple for mankind to comprehend: But a child shall know them, and shall understand them; therefore, if you are to know the Torah and believe the Word then you must think as a child. ¶ The first story of the Torah is told in the stars and is visible in the first month of the year, in the spring; Therefore, tell it as a parable unto your children and your children’s children in that first month that they should learn it and that they should know it. And this is the first layer of the Torah, even the surface of it; it is told that mankind may begin in the knowledge of YHVH. ¶ And in wisdom is the second found, for in the second layer of the Torah is the allegory, the teachings of YHVH hinted to mankind and drawn out by the experience of life. And when that knowledge of the story and the wisdom of the parable are known, then understanding comes and mankind climbs the ladder and doth piece together the puzzle. And then it is that the limits of man are reached, as the Voice can be heard, and the mystery of the revelation is revealed. ¶ And this is the tradition (Kabbalah) of Israel (straight to God); and why then do you wander in the wilderness (Mormon) first? Because mankind will always seek his own heart before seeking the Voice of El Elyon. But the child of Elohim knows to listen to the Voice, and hears and remembers the covenant: All that YHVH has spoken, we will do! Wherefore, remember, remember, thy covenant, O Israel, that thou might learn thy mitzvoth and to do it. ¶ The Torah of YHVH is written in perfection in the night skies, that the Word of YHVH might convert the soul to the testimony of YHVH, who wrote her. And Moses did give unto Israel twelve copies, one for each tribe, each written in a language their people could understand. And the oral Torah is passed down mouth to ear from generation to generation and shall be loved by Israel for all generations. ¶ And the Torah of YHVH is like unto a seed, planted in the heart of mankind that the orchard of YHVH should grow up and bear fruit, which fruit is thy mitzvoth. For the words of the Torah are nothing but the divine message of the heart of Israel, and he who she brings into her inner chambers, unto them is the mystery (sod) given. Wherefore did Moses give you the Ten Words, and through these Ten Words is the Leviathan overcome. ¶ And whence the Leviathan is overcome, the true King, the King of Kings, shall reveal the vision of the inner chambers and the Merkava unto them; Therefore, all thy learning is from the Torah, and the Torah of YHVH is even this: Thou shalt love YHVH, thy Elohim, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And it is even this: thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself; for YHVH, is thy Elohim, therefore if you do love the Creator, then you shall love His creation. ¶ And to grow this, the orchard of YHVH in thy heart, then you shall first start with a seed, and if it be a good seed, then shall you feel it begin to swell within you; Therefore, as it doth proceed to swell within you, it shall grow up, to bear fruit, and you shall see that it be a good seed, for the fruit of it shall be good. But if the seed that doth grow within you be a bad seed, it shall dry up thy faith, and the waters of the mercy of YHVH shall dry up, and you shall not do thy mitzvoth. Wherefore, if thy seed be true, then the works of you shall be true, and if the seed be a bad seed then the works of YHVH, your Elohim, shall not be seen to come out of you: For what thou doth eat and drink cannot defile you, but that bad seed planted in your heart shall defile you by what it spits up out of your mouth. Wherefore shall you cast that bad seed from out of you, and cling to all that is good, and to know that which is good, learn from her, the Torah. ¶ Yea, if you shall be nourished by the Word of her, then shall you pluck from the fruit of the tree of life, and eat of it, and it shall spring up a tree in thee unto everlasting life, Which tree shall drink continually from the everlasting well of waters of the mercy of YHVH, and you shall never hunger nor thirst again. Chapter 7 The Chereb of the Lord. And it came to pass that the angel did speak again unto me, saying: Look! And I opened up my eyes, and there I saw the angel of YHVH standing between the earth and the heavens, and in his hand was the chereb. ¶ And so it was that Raziel (רזיאל God is my secret) who is Raphael (רְפאל healing of God) did speak unto me, saying: YHVH did speak unto Moses and Zipporah in that day, saying: If thou desireth the chereb, and to pass it down from generation to generation, then know that thou who desires it must first fast for three days from food and drink, except once in the evenings, And when thou shall eat, thou shall first wash thy hands in salt, eating only unleavened bread, and drinking only water for three days, and this shall be thy fast: On the first day that thou should fast, before thou lay down to retire, thou shall bathe once and then no more for the three days, and thy sleep shall be sweet. And thou shalt pray in secret three times daily, saying: Blessed art thou YHVH, O Lord, our Elohim, who opens the gates of the firmament, and givest light to the whole world and its inhabitants, with the multitude of Thy mercies, who teachest Thy people, Israel, Thy Torah, and revealeth unto Israel the chereb. Grant me thy Torah that I, Thy servant, will be given authority over this chereb, that I shall be thy servant, that Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven: So mote it be, Amen. ¶ And now, did not Haniel teach it to thee to do so when thou should meditate facing east those three days? And now you see that the Breath of YHVH be upon thee, and that you have been delivered into the Presence, And that we, the malakim of YHVH are here to serve thee, should you be as a pupil to us, as thy master. And your eyes have been illuminated, and your heart doth see, and now do you behold that which is hidden. ¶ And I did behold that thou did wash thyself in a stream, immersing thyself in living water; Therefore, because you have been born again of water and of fire, you have gone forth to fulfill all righteousness. And now, because of this, ye shall die not, and are clean, and the Breath hath fallen upon thee, so long as thou doth desire to be holy unto YHVH and walk in teshuvah before YHVH, your Elohim. Therefore, prepare thyself now, for you shall be given to wear the mantel of righteousness. ¶ Before the beginning of the creation of this world is the crown (Keter) of YHVH, And Ha’Elohim hath given thee knowledge (Da’at), from before the foundation of this world, And because of this, you have received wisdom (Chokhmah) from before the creation of this world. And being born again, this is the first day of thy creation, in the which you have received of the mercy (Chesed) of YHVH; And because you have received of the mercy, you have been given strength (Gevurah), and this is the second day of your creation. ¶ And in the first day before the creation of this world you were crowned with an eternal crown, and given the left and right eyes that you should see; Therefore, in the first two days of your creation, you have been given hands, the right hand to receive in the mercy of El Elyon, and the left to take the strength of YHVH, your Elohim. And being able to give and take in righteousness, in the third day of your creation, you were given compassion to see the beauty (Tif’eret) of the creation of YHVH, for YHVH is the Creator. And the beauty of this, the creation of Yah YHVH, neither gives nor takes, therefore it is neither to the right nor to the left upon that tree that doth grow in faith upon thy heart. ¶Yet to see the fullness of this creation, Ha’Elohim should give thee feet to walk upon the path; Therefore, the fourth day of this creation thy right foot is planted in eternity (Netzach) that you should receive of the goodness of the path. And thy left foot is planted in thy submission to YHVH, for the glory (Hod) of El Elyon, that thou should receive all that Yah doth have for thee, and this is the fifth day. ¶ And so it is that on the sixth day of this creation, you are given the very foundation (Yesod) that your feet shall be planted in their walk, neither going in nor out, right nor left, but straight to God (Israel). And this too, like the crown of YHVH and the beauty of this creation, is neither to the right nor to the left upon that tree whose seed did grow from the Word of the Torah that was planted in thy heart. Therefore, the kingdom (Malchut) is the seventh day of this creation, also being neither to the right nor to the left, for it is upon that straight path of understanding (Binah) hidden upon thy heart. ¶ And behold, this is the tree that has taken root within thee, springing up unto everlasting life, And this because of thy diligence, and thy faith, and thy patience with the Word of the Torah, for you have nourished it, that it hath taken root in you. And the fruit of the tree of life everlasting (En Sof) is most precious, being sweet above all that is sweet, and white above all that is white, and pure above all that is pure; Therefore, eat of it with patience and long-suffering, that you shall never hunger nor thirst again. Chapter 8 The Mantel of Righteousness. And it came to pass that the malak, Haniel, did come forth unto me, saying: In that day that Zipporah and I did go unto the mountain of Ha’Elohim, YHVH did speak unto us, saying: Ye shall make this known to men and women who are righteous and pure and faithful, whose hearts are united, and in whose mouth is no deceit; They who lie not with their tongues, and who deceive not with their lips; they who grasp not with their hands and are not lustful with their eyes; They who depart from uncleanliness, from defilement, keeping themselves holy, and doing all that I, YHVH, their Elohim, do instruct of them. And tell them that they are not to defile themselves with the dead, nor are they to sleep on the places of the dead, that they not be defiled by sleeping spirits. ¶ And it came to pass that a plague did come over me, for where should we find such as these? And now I do see that one such as this doth stand before me now; therefore, today take off thy cloak and you shall engrave upon it the seal, and in the middle of it you shall put the signs and the symbols. And all that Raziel (רזיאל God is my secret) did teach thee is the meaning of the seal, and it is a seal between YHVH, your Elohim, and thee; for that seal is the very emanations (ספירוֹת) of YHVH. And what then is this emanation? It is the outpouring of the Ruach HaKodesh, the very breath of Elohim. ¶ When YHVH Elohim created this world, El Elyon did breathe both justice (Gevurah) and mercy (Chesed) into it, For being omnipotent, YHVH did know that there should be both good and evil, for there must needs be that there is opposition in all things: If this were not so, there could not be life nor death, holiness nor wickedness, corruption nor incorruption. ¶ And I do see that thou, Zenock, have both acted and been acted upon; Therefore, you do know the taste of the bitterness of sin and death, and the sweet taste of that tree of life that doth grow within thy heart. Wherefore, know too that YHVH Elohim did grant unto mankind their agency, to act for themselves; Therefore, YHVH Elohim hath given you to choose, even as YHVH did give thy father, Adam, and thy mother, Eve, to choose for yourselves, good from evil. And thus is the agency of mankind, and the condemnation of the world: Mankind is and was from before the beginning of this creation, and being given the light, death must come to they who receive not that light. ¶ And now, I shall tell thee that the image of that tree shall be carved upon the mantel of righteousness with the two symbols (letters) to represent that tree as seen looking up into the heavens, and as it is seen when looking down upon the earth. ¶ And now, I see that you do have the herbs of the apothecary made into that holy ointment, even as Moses and Zipporah were instructed; Therefore, you shall use it to anoint thy cloak, to make it holy unto YHVH, and thou shall fast for these seven days, ¶ And it shall not be for you to eat of any meat, nor anything that cometh from a living thing, neither meat, nor milk, nor eggs, nor fish, nor honey; Yea, but thou shall eat the meat of the plants and touch nothing that is unclean. ¶ And thou shall bathe every night, washing thy hands in salt three times a day; once in the morning, once in the mid-day, and once in the evening, before thou should bathe. And thou shall keep your thoughts pure, and speak peace with all that cross thy path, and I shall return unto thee in time and instruct thee further. ¶ And so it was that I did fast, even as I was instructed, and I did meditate upon the Torah daily, And so I did study from the words that were passed down from mouth to ear, and from the writings of the Torah upon the night sky. And in my study of that Torah, given us by YHVH, our Elohim, in His great mercy, and in showering us with His great love, I did see that Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh did speak, and so everything is. Therefore, Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh, the Creator, is The One Who Bestows, and we the creation are she who doth receive: And this then is the condescension (Hebrew: צמצום, tzimtzum) of YHVH Elohim, And by His Grace (teshuvah) mankind is given the power to both receive of the goodness of YHVH, and to grant mercy unto the creation in His name, that we take not the name of YHVH upon ourselves in vain. ¶ And it came to pass that after so many days, Haniel did come again unto me, and he did ask of my cloak; And so, I did offer to place my cloak in his hand, but Haniel did speak unto me, saying: Nay, but it is holy; therefore place it there before me. Wherefore I did remove it from off of me, and I did place it before him. And he did teach me of the use of it, and did send me to the village, that I might go unto the Priest, so to make an offering of sacrifice that I might give it to feed the poor and the needy. ¶ And so it was that as I headed North, to the village I had seen along the way, I did wonder of it, for what should I give for a sacrifice unto YHVH? And I did pitch my tent in the wilderness (Mormon) along the way. ¶ And it came to pass that as I did walk along the road, I did find a young ram trapped by the way as rocks had fallen upon him. And I did see and observe that though the rocks had fallen upon the he goat, I saw that his bones were not broken, and that he was fit for sacrifice; Therefore, I did bind him up and take him, the ram YHVH did give unto me for a sacrifice and I did call that place Bethe Hayil YHVH (בית האיל יהוה; House of the Ram of YHVH). The Record of Zenock (The Third Section on the Plates) Chapter 9 A Flash of Lightning And it came to pass that upon returning to that cave, I did come across a man of the stick of Manasseh who had pitched his tent in the wilderness (Mormon) whose name was Baraq, son of Laman. And the Voice did speak unto me, saying: Go and enquire of this man. Therefore, I did put away my cloak from before him, that I should keep holy and that he should not see my righteousness (צדק). And so it was that I did come up unto him, that I should join him by his fire, saying: I come in peace, praise be unto YHVH, our Elohim, and the Elohim of our fathers! ¶ And now, being alone, Baraq did speak unto me not, therefore I did speak again, saying even with an oath, that he need not fear, And I did ask him why for he should go down alone into the wilderness (Mormon). ¶ And it came to pass that he did speak unto me, saying: Why for doth thou bother me with thy words, but come and eat, and find rest with me, And how shall you say that I be alone man in the wilderness; for is not YHVH Elohim with us? Is any man ever truly alone? Wherefore did I speak unto him, saying: I should be honored to be in the midst of thy presence, only let me offer you of my bread also, that I should ask of you, giving back nothing in return. ¶ And so it was that I did give unto him manna to eat, even the very manna that I had gathered up from out of that cave, For the malak did give it to me to carry in my journey when he did send me forth, and it faileth not. ¶ And it came to pass that when this man, Baraq, did eat of the manna, he was stirred up, and he did marvel, saying: What is this (manna) that you do give unto me, for when I eat of it, I remember the Word of the Torah, which doth say: YHVH shall give you in the evening flesh to eat and in the morning bread to the full, for that YHVH heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against Him. ¶ And I did reply unto him, saying: And Israel called the name thereof manna; and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey. ¶ And Baraq did open his mouth again, saying: I see that you are a man of El Elyon; therefore, let us talk. ¶ And I did answer him, saying: Of what should we discuss? ¶ And Baraq did answer me, saying: Of the Torah, that we may both learn to know our mitzvot. ¶ And I did answer him, saying: Doth thou have the secret wisdom of YHVH, or the knowledge of Yah that I might learn it? ¶ And Baraq did sit upright and open his mouth, saying: I see that cloak you desired to be hidden from me; therefore, I do see thy righteousness (צדק). When hence hath thou cometh, and where doth thou goest; for I do perceive that you have been in the presence of malakim; Therefore, impart on me all thou hast heard, and teach it unto me, the knowledge you have acquired. ¶ And so it was that I did open my mouth unto him, and being filled with the Breath of Elohim, I did speak, saying: Knowledge and wisdom are as two candles of similar height and flame; And when one is lit it will illuminate the room, but when the second is lit, the room will be illuminated even greater still. But when that flame is put out in the morning, though the light of them shall be gone from the room to be replaced by the light of the sun, you shall still smell the smoke of it; Therefore, all shall know the light that was good, and when the sun shall go down, the candles may be lit, But even in the darkness, when the flames are put out, the smell of it shall be known to those that seek it and are aware. My soul doth find delight then, even in the darkness of night, for the scent of the candle is there, wherefore do I know that the Breath shall come upon me, and I shall know. For when the nephesh (Hebrew נפש, “soul”) doth sleep, the Breath (ruach) shall awaken my soul to the path that the light of YHVH be poured upon me from on high. ¶ And Baraq did look upon me and marvel, and he did ponder on this for a time. ¶ And it came to pass that after a time Baraq did open his mouth and speak again unto me, saying: How great is the number of they who take no interest in such things, for the knowledge of this world bringeth death, but the Word of the Torah bringeth life. I pray that my soul is awakened, even as YHVH did breathe upon Adam that they did live, may I live also; Therefore, I did come here, to read the Torah in the stars, and here did I pray that YHVH Elohim should send a servant of Yah that I might learn my mitzvoth. I desire to behold Adam, as he sits with Eve upon their thrones in the Garden, rejoicing over all they who find teshuvah and seek to be Israel (straight to God) in their hearts and cease to do evil in the sight of Yah. ¶ For my father, Laman, hath said: I dreamed a dream, and in my dream all the souls that lacked not the justice of YHVH, and all the souls that did see that mercy of YHVH; And these did gather with Adam (mankind) and Eve (life) having journeyed upon the path; And YHVH, our Elohim, did accept the sacrifices of all they that came unto Him with a pierced heart, being hearers of the Torah, and having fulfilled their mitzvoth. ¶ And having talked with Baraq all through the night, I did see that the sun was rising; therefore, did I get up with him, and I did journey with him back to the house of his father. Chapter 10 The Creation. And it came to pass that as we walked to the house of Laman, that Baraq, son of Laman did speak unto me, saying: Tzaddiq (Righteous One), you are wise; therefore, tell me, how should it be that everyone will study the Torah? Or are not all given to study the Word? ¶ And I did reply unto him, saying: Call me not Righteous One (Tzaddiq), for I am but a humble man, and only YHVH is righteous. It is true that all mankind shall be given to know the Torah, were it not so, her words would not be written upon the night sky; Yet not all shall know her, nor shall all understand her wisdom nor her secrets; therefore, only a foolish man should say unto his brother: You do not know the Torah, And this because everyone shall be given her secrets in her time, as she doth uncover herself before them, and not by the time nor by the reckoning of mankind. ¶ There is one wisdom to see, one wisdom to hear, and one wisdom to know the secrets of YHVH Elohim; Yet there is a greater secret still, and that is the second: to know oneself. For one to know who they are, how they are created, from where they did come before this earth, and wither they shall go— All shall be given such an account of this when they do stand before Ha’Elohim. But to know one’s own heart! This is the very purpose of the Torah, and why YHVH did write it on the night sky, and why YHVH did give it to Moses with His finger upon the sapphire tablets. ¶ When a person knows their own heart, then do they know YHVH Elohim and the secrets of the whole of this creation; Therefore, anyone that should seek out the secrets and the mystery of the Torah, she will show them the light that is YHVH, our Elohim, and she will show them the gate to their own soul: To know thy mitzvoth and to do it, this is justice, but good deeds alone shall be not a sacrifice unto salvation; by thy heart shall YHVH lift thee up on high. ¶ If one should read the Torah, go and do; if thou will live the covenant then you shall hear the Voice and hearken, giving aid unto thy brother. ¶ And Baraq did ask of me, saying: O Tzaddiq, is this then what our father, Abraham, did teach us of what did come before the creation? ¶ And I did answer him, saying: There is nothing before Yah, nothing before YHVH, and nothing before Ha’Elohim; therefore, there can be nothing before the creation. For even as Abraham did say: Michael (one who is like God) did speak, saying: We will go down, for there is space there. And where should they go if there was no space for them? ¶ And so too did Moses teach us by the Torah, saying: And the Earth, she was empty, and chaos filled her; And YHVH did cause darkness to come up upon the face of the endless abyss; and Ruach Elohim did move upon The Presence of the Waters, And YHVH did say: Let there be Creation; and thus did the work of creation begin. ¶ Do not both of these words speak truth? For by the words of our father, Abraham, this creation was always there, and even by the voice of the friend of YHVH, Moses this creation was before the beginning. ¶ And Baraq did answer me, saying: O Tzaddiq, I perceive that Moses did speak truth, for did not our father, Abraham, also teach us, saying: And YHVH did speak, saying: Let us go down, at the beginning; and Ha’Elohim did give shape unto the heavens and the earth. ¶ And I did open my mouth unto Baraq, saying: Chasid (faithful one), I see this is truth, yet there is a contradiction, for how did YHVH and Ha’Elohim create that which did exist? Behold, I shall tell it unto thee, even as our father, Abraham, did say: YHVH was with Yah from before the beginning, and they did create Ha’Elohim, even as the Torah doth say: In knowledge and in wisdom did YHVH create the Elohim, and the Heavens, and the Earth. ¶ And so it was that YHVH did speak, and Ha’Elohim did obey, and thus was this creation made; therefore, all things were made by YHVH Elohim; And without Him was not anything made that was made, and so it is that the four worlds were created by the very Word of YHVH. ¶ The one who is like unto El (Michael) is full of wisdom and life, but there was another full of smoke and death, and he did seek to create darkness and strife. But YHVH doth know all things; therefore, YHVH did know that a sacrifice should be made that the sun, the moon, and the stars (Israel) should be born. Wherefore YHVH should descend below all things, and this that all should be, and if not, then nothing is. ¶ And YHVH did speak unto Michael, saying: You shall go down; and Michael did go down, and this did anger the other, and this must be that there be opposition in all things. ¶ And YHVH did say: I will go down, and I will be that sacrifice, that the sun, and the moon, and the stars (Israel) should be born. ¶ And now we see that the word of the Torah, given to us by YHVH through His servant, Moses, does teach us, saying: And mankind became a living soul; which is to say: And mankind became a speaking spirit. ¶ And so it was that Adam did fall that mankind might be, even as our father, Abraham did teach us: How can YHVH live if He is not born of a woman that He might die and take up his life again? Wherefore, YHVH must first be quickened; and even so, through Him shall I and my seed be quickened, and shall live. ¶ And so it is that mankind shall be saved, everyone passing through the four worlds and receiving of the ten emanations (ספירוֹת) of YHVH. ¶ And Baraq did answer me, saying: O Tzaddiq, call me not faithful one, for only YHVH is faithful. But I pray thee, what then is the purpose unto YHVH for His Israel to offer up sacrifices and to do the mitzvoth if all is in vain? Why then study the Word of the Torah, given us from YHVH unto Moses, and passed down unto every generation from mouth to ear, if this be not pleasing unto YHVH? Does not the study of the Torah bring one to perform their mitzvoth? And if a man should perform his duty, is he not loved throughout the land, blessed with good crops and with riches from Ha’Elohim above? Is this not salvation? ¶ And I did open my mouth to answer him, saying: Chasid, do you not see that the wicked man may also prosper in the land by the faith of the righteous ones (qaddish)? The well of the evil man does not run dry, nor the rain cloud cease when the rain doth move over his lands; Therefore, the rewards of this world may come and go unto the just and the unjust, the righteous man and the wicked man, the faithful wife and the adulterous husband; Yah, and YHVH and Ha’Elohim (יה ויהוה והאליהם) then is not a respecter of persons. Chapter 11 Eternal Life. And Baraq did ponder this for a time, and it came to pass that he did open his mouth again, speaking unto me, saying: O Tzaddiq, what then are these four worlds, and how shall I know of them? ¶ And so it was that I did speak unto him, saying: Hear me, Chasid, and I will tell thee only what the malakim of YHVH have uttered unto me: The first is the divine understanding from before the beginning; therefore, it has no beginning and no end. The second is the spirit of this creation, without which there is not life; therefore, it is all that came before the creation of this world. The third is the physical form of this creation; therefore, it is all you see, touch, desire, and feel in this world. The fourth is the soul that lives when YHVH doth breathe the breath of life upon us; therefore, it is to be born again. And there shall come a fifth and final world, which is all four worlds being one; therefore, it is the restoration when we shall awaken unto eternal life. ¶ And Baraq did speak unto me again, saying: Tzaddiq, what does this mean to awaken unto eternal life? ¶ And I did answer him, saying: Behold, O Chasid, it is even as this, in this creation there is water, wind, fire, and dust (earth); each of these doth make up this creation: The first world, it is as water, for the Torah does say: Ruach Elohim did move upon The Presence of the Waters. And that second world, it is even as the wind, for the Torah does say: YHVH did breathe into the nostrils of mankind the Breath of Life; and does not the wind blow even as it goes, passing even as a shadow? And that third world is as the dust of the earth, for the Torah doth say: And YHVH Elohim did take from the dust of the earth and did breathe life into mankind. And the fourth world is even as fire, for the Torah does say: The flesh of Moses and Zipporah became as fire. Wherefore it must be that the whole Adam, the finished Adam, the Adam Elyon must be all of these; And this is not a creation that mankind can make of themselves; therefore, it must be the very work of YHVH, our Elohim. ¶ And Baraq did open his mouth again unto me, saying: What then of this creation, Tzaddiq, if it hath no beginning and no end? How be it the creation? ¶ And I did answer him, that his ears be open, saying: Chasid, see you not that this creation is the formation of YHVH, the foundation? For YHVH Elohim is not one who did create, but is the Creator, he who (re)creates in His image, For doth not the Torah say: Let us make mankind in our image? Therefore, YHVH Elohim, El Elyon, El Olam hath made us and (re)made us in the very image of Ha’Elohim. ¶ And so it was that after this manner we did continue to speak one to another, mouth to ear, until we did reach the house of Laman. Chapter 12 The House of Laman. And it came to pass that we did journey to the house of Laman, and there, Laman did greet his son, kissing him upon the cheek, And so it was that when Laman did see that his son was returned to him safely that he did enquire of Baraq, asking: Who is this? And Baraq did answer his father, saying: My father, this is Zenock, the Tzaddiq (Righteous One), from him have I gained much wisdom! ¶ And then did I reply unto Laman, saying: Master (adon), I am thy servant; but call me not Righteous One (Tzaddiq), for I am but a humble man, and only YHVH is righteous. ¶ And Laman did answer me, saying: This is well said; therefore, call me not Lord (adon), for only YHVH reigneth, sitting upon the throne of His holiness. ¶ And Baraq, in his haste, did speak unto his father, saying: Hear Zenock, father; for he is wise in the wisdom of El Olam! ¶ And it came to pass that Laman did bring us into his house, and did offer us bread and wine; and then it was that He did speak unto me, asking: Tell me then, what is the wisdom of El Olam, and how dost thou know it? ¶ And I did answer him, saying: Lord, I, thy servant, shall speak it unto you, even as I do understand it; But I am a simple man, so I pray thee, give me thy pity for the poorness of my speech. ¶ And speaking by the Breath that was upon me, I did speak, saying: The Torah does teach us: In knowledge and in wisdom did YHVH create Ha’Elohim, and the Heavens, and the Earth. Wherefore, the first wisdom is this: to know YHVH Elohim, and to know YHVH is to love YHVH, our Elohim, with one heart, and with one soul, and as one wholly. And this wisdom is the perfect love; yea, it is a love that changeth not, but abides with us, for this is how Elohim Shaddai loveth us, His creation. ¶ And the Torah does teach us: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. Wherefore, all of this, the creation, is our neighbor; if we do love the Creator, then we show this love by our love for this creation. And this wisdom is the perfect (or complete) knowledge of the Creator and the creation; for how can a man take a wife that is a widow and love her but not love her children? Therefore, if Israel is to love YHVH, our Elohim, then we will love all of His creation. ¶ And the Torah does teach us: Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together unto one place. Wherefore, even as all of Israel hath been given of the mercy of YHVH Elohim, so too shall we be one Israel; For the Torah doth also say: Hear, O Israel: YHVH is our Elohim; YHVH is unity. Wherefore, if YHVH be Unity, then Israel too must be unity, for Israel is the creation of YHVH, our Elohim that Ruach HaKodesh and the Shekinah be upon us. And this wisdom is the perfect wisdom, that we do see the unity of all the things that YHVH Elohim hath created. ¶ And the Torah does teach us: And YHVH Elohim offered unto the people teshuvah, saying: Of every tree of the garden, thou mayest freely eat. Wherefore, teshuvah has been given us from the beginning; therefore, whence we know good from evil, let us do good. And this wisdom is the perfect mercy of YHVH, for El Elyon did show unto us to walk upon the way. ¶ And the Torah does teach us: Calling upon Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh, Moses did receive strength. Wherefore we do see that in the judgement that Moses did judge, so too was he judged; And the judgment of Moses was not to cast out his brother, but to cast that adversary of doubt from out of himself. And I do say unto you now: That when a man knows the unity or oneness of YHVH Elohim, he knows the oneness of this creation and truly understands his mitzvoth; For the Torah does teach us truth, saying: Hear O Israel: YHVH is our Elohim; YHVH is Unity. And this wisdom is the perfect judgement, that we do judge not but in righteousness, which is to say, we only judge our own actions and our own deeds. ¶ And the Torah does teach us: And YHVH will establish a covenant with Israel, with the circumcision of the heart, and this shall be the covenant between YHVH and Israel in all their generations. When the heart is pierced, it is the birth of a soul and we are born again; and if mankind is not born again, we cannot inherit the kingdom of heaven; And this is because when mankind is born again, the earth is healed, here a little and there a little, until all is as it was at the first. And thus does mankind become new creatures, and such born to inherit the kingdom of Yah, which is our birthright. Wherefore we see that in this does Israel perform her mitzvoth, and bring forth works of perfect righteousness (or bring forth the works to fulfill all righteousness), exceeding all beauty. ¶ And the Torah does teach us: And YHVH did bless them, and did say unto them: Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. Wherefore, so it must be that we increase our desires in righteousness, being the creation of YHVH Elohim, Being transformed from a carnal and fallen state to a state of righteousness, being redeemed of YHVH, becoming His sons and daughters. And now, is this not our eternal reward, to sit with Ha’Elohim and El Olam in the heavens? And if the earth and the heavens be one, then the creation is finished. But we see that the heaven and the earth are not one; therefore, it is the will of El Olam who is El Elyon that all they that walk in teshuvah is to teach his brother, Wherefore, here is wisdom; yet it is not wisdom in me, but wisdom in Elohim Shaddai, even El Olam. ¶ And now, I do say unto you: The hidden wisdom is even this: when we serve our brothers we serve our Elohim; therefore, seek not to teach thy brother in wrath, but in service and in love. Wherefore, the eternal glory given mankind of YHVH Elohim is to plant thy feet firmly upon that foundation; for such is the kingdom. Chapter 13 To Not Taste of Death. And it came to pass that after this, Laman did speak unto me with his heart, saying: Tzaddiq, surely thou hast walked with the malakim of YHVH, for you do speak as one who does know. ¶ And I did speak unto him with my mouth, saying: Call me not, Righteous One, for only YHVH Elohim is righteous. ¶ And then I did speak unto Laman and Baraq, son of Laman, with my heart, saying: I shall tell you of the saying of the Malakim unto me, that you might teach your people; And all they who do learn of these words, to understand them, shall know the Torah and teach it also, and they shall not fear death, and some shall not even taste of death. ¶ And here is truth: There is nothing hidden from mankind, for YHVH Elohim hath written His Torah in the night sky; But it is mankind that doth close his eyes to the teachings of YHVH, our Elohim. Mankind cannot see with their eyes, nor hear with their ears, nor know that which they hold, And why is this? This is because they only see themselves in all things and not The Creator. ¶ If mankind will but listen with their hearts, the very rocks and trees should teach us! And yet mankind builds a house upon a land they do not own, And we plant crops in a field that is not our own, And we pick up the sword to take or defend that which belongs to The Creator; Therefore, worry not what thou would do, what thou shall eat, or what thou shall wear, for YHVH Elohim did give all things unto you. ¶ Stretch not thy hand out seeking more, but give generously of all that YHVH hath given you and worry not for El Elyon is watching over, for YHVH is El Roi. And if you have hope, that hope shall tell thee the very will of YHVH, our Elohim; And when you do know the will of Elohim Shaddai, then when you say: Move up out of thy place, this creation will hear and in the name of YHVH, the Creator, will obey. ¶ And it came to pass that I did continue to speak unto Laman and Baraq, son of Laman, in this same manner all the day and all the night and even into the following day. Chapter 14 The Priesthood of Life and the Priesthood of Eternal Life. And it came to pass that when we had finished pouring over the things of YHVH Elohim, that Laman and Baraq, son of Laman, did desire to be washed clean in the living water to fulfill all righteousness. Wherefore, I did take them unto a running stream, and there I did speak unto them, saying: If ye be willing to mourn with those that do mourn, and comfort those that stand in need of comfort, and be willing to bear the burdens of others that they be light, Then ye do truly be desirous to come into the fold of YHVH, to be called Israel. ¶ And it came to pass that Laman and Baraq, son of Laman, did speak unto me, saying: This is the desire of our hearts. And so it was that I did take them into the water to wash them. And before washing Laman, I did pray unto El Elyon, saying: Having authority, given me of Elohim Shaddai, I do wash thee in the name of YHVH Elohim, that you be clean unto eternal life. And so it was that I did take Baraq, son of Laman, into the water and I did wash him likewise that he be clean also. ¶ And it came to pass that after we did come up out of the water that Laman did ask of me, saying: What is this that thou hast been given of YHVH that you should say these things? ¶ And I did speak unto him, saying: The Torah, given unto us from Moses, mouth to ear, doth teach us, saying: There are two Priesthoods: the Priesthood of an Endless Life; and the Priesthood of Life; And so it is that in the Priesthood of an Endless Life are two Orders; and these be that of Talmidim and of the Priests and Priestesses. ¶ And of the Talmidim there are four degrees; that of Mechoqek (Hebrew מְחוֹקֵק, “lawgiver”) being the first degree, And these are they who are the Talmid (Hebrew תלמיד, “disciple” or “student,” here refering to an Apostle), and a Prophet, and a Seer, and one who does reveal the will of YHVH, your Elohim, and that doth know the languages. And there is one called to this first degree that doth give the Torah of God even from his mouth. ¶ And there is another one called to the second degree, to be a counselor unto the other; and they are a prophet, a seer and sar (Hebrew סַר, “prince” or “ruler”): And this we see in Moses, the lawgiver and Zipporah, the councilor; he being the first degree, and she being the second; and these being one, even as YHVH is One. ¶ And that of Tsiyr (Hebrew צִיר, “ambassador” or “envoy”) is the third degree; and these are they who are Talmidim, and of these there shall be twelve; And they shall be talmidim and tsiyr (ambassadors or witnesses) to the foreigners, and teachers in all places where the Mechoqek shall send them. And we did see that Moses did call twelve men and twelve women, one from each tribe. ¶ And that of musar is the fourth degree, that of the evangelist; and these are seven talmidim, and tsiyr of Israel, to where they are sent. ¶ And of the Priests and Priestesses of this order, there are two degrees; that of High Priests and High Priestess is the first, and that of Elder is the second degree. And we know that Moses did call men and women of all the tribes to these, And we do wear the tzitzits to show that Israel is a nation of kings and queens, and priests and priestesses; Therefore, we know that the Levites do their duties unto YHVH, and that Ha’Elohim doth call others of the tribes, for are we not all Israel? ¶ And Moses did teach us by the Word of the Torah, saying: And the Levites shall serve in the Priesthood of Life; And in that Priesthood of Life there are three; that of the Priests and the Priestesses, and that of the Teachers, and that of the Shamashim. And of the Shamashim there shall be three degrees, and of the Teachers there shall be five degrees; and of the Priests and Priestesses there shall be two degrees. ¶ And there shall be a Chief Priest from amongst the Priests of the Priesthood of Life, and there shall be a Chief Priestess from amongst the Priestesses of the Priesthood of Life, And there shall also be a first and second High Priest and a first and second High Priestess; And a leader of each division (or group) of Priests and of each division of Priestesses, and this to every Temple throughout the land, once it be established. And this Priesthood shall be divided into groups, according to the nature of their duties; And there shall be those set apart in the several divisions, to guide and direct them in the mitzvoth of their division. ¶ And these are the words of Moses, given us by the Torah from his mouth to our ears, even unto this day. Wherefore, when ye should ask of me: What is this that thou hast been given of YHVH that you should say these things? Know then that it is the Priesthood of Endless Life that YHVH hath bestowed upon me, by the hands of His malakim, for in the hands of YHVH Elohim are all the keys given of Yah; Therefore, I am of they who are called by the order of Yah, yea, even after the order of His Son. ¶ And it came to pass that I did lay my hands upon Laman and Baraq, son of Laman, and pass down these very same keys, in the wisdom of YHVH and for a wise purpose unto YHVH. And then did Laman and Baraq, the son of Laman, go back down into that living water and wash one another even after the same manner in the which I had washed them clean. Chapter 15 The Vision of Zenock. And it came to pass that Baraq did ask me of the wars of the nation of Israel, for Israel and Judah are not one, saying: Is it the end? And how shall it be that the end should come? ¶ And it came to pass that I did bow down unto YHVH Elohim in prayer, and when I had opened my eyes, I was in vision. ¶ And in the last days I did see a great army that did overthrow a foreign power, that peace should be proclaimed throughout the land; For in the last days, after the Yachad Yachid Echad should come, for the Yachad (the one who unites us) is the very Messiah of the world, full of Grace and truth forever and ever; And I did see that after the Yachad did come, that the Levites were forbidden to sacrifice blood, except it should be for the meat of them to feed the poor; For the Yachad, who is the Messiah of the world, should be the last sacrifice of blood, and the covenant of Abraham shall again be remembered, that of the broken heart and contrite spirit. ¶ And I did see that when that mighty army did break the chains of their oppressors, they did cry out unto the people, saying: Go thy way! Go back to your homes! And we shall be your protection; therefore, fear not! And I did see that the people did go about their way, and they did look to the strength of that mighty army that stood in the name of YHVH Elohim, and troubled themselves not. ¶ And I did see in my vision that it came to pass that the armies did close up the temples and would not let the people in, even as the Levites today let not the people of Israel in. But behold! I did see that because of that great and everlasting sacrifice of the Yachad, YHVH did call up all of Israel into His house, and there YHVH did bless them; Yet that army would not let the people into the temples of YHVH, though they be the people of Israel; Yea, and only they that were faithful unto that great army would they let pass through the gates. ¶ But I was in vision; therefore, they could not keep me out of their temples, and I did see, and I do know. And behold, I did see that there in those temples, that they did sacrifice the blood of calves, and of goats, and of rams, and of the fowl of the air unto YHVH, and the people did know it not. ¶ And YHVH Elohim was displease; therefore, YHVH did call upon His seers, and His prophets and His prophetesses. ¶ And these did speak unto the people, saying: See now, O people of Israel! These mighty armies defend our borders with a strong and mighty hand, yet they do not serve YHVH, our Elohim. And YHVH hath cried out unto us, saying: Wherein do they give alms to the poor? Wherein do they seek to unite my Israel, saith YHVH? By these do they reject my sacrifice, the blood of the Yachad Yachid Echad being spilt in vain, For these do sacrifice the blood of the beasts of the field and the fowl of the air, thus taking my name in vain, saith YHVH. ¶ Did I not say: And your sacrifices and your burnt offerings shall be done away, for I will accept none of your sacrifices and your burnt offerings; But ye shall offer for a sacrifice unto me a broken heart and a contrite spirit; for behold, by me redemption cometh, and in me is the Torah of Moses fulfilled; Therefore, whoso walketh in teshuvah, to come unto me even as a little child, these will I receive; for of such is the kingdom of Yah. Behold, for such I have laid down my life and have taken it up again; therefore, repent, and come unto me, all ye ends of the earth, and be saved. ¶ And I did ask, saying: What is this? ¶ And I did see the angel of YHVH before me, and he did show unto me that Yachad Yachid Echad; That when He shall walk this earth, that He should feed the poor, and He should heal the sick, and He should raise the dead, And many more things shall He do when He will walk this earth, so many that I cannot write them all. ¶ And I saw Him, the Yachad Yachid Echad; and men did come to take Him, and I asked again, saying: What is this? ¶ And the angel of YHVH did answer me, saying: Behold, the Elohim of Abraham, and the Elohim of Isaac, and the Elohim of Jacob yieldeth Himself as a man into the hands of wicked men. And I did see and behold that this man was taken to be lifted up. ¶ And I did see that YHVH Elohim shall surely visit all the house of Israel at that day, Some with His voice because of their righteousness, unto their great joy and salvation, and others with the thunderings and the lightnings of His power. Yea, and by tempest, by fire, and by smoke, and vapor of darkness, and by the opening of the earth, and by mountains which shall be carried up. ¶ And as for those who are at Jerusalem, they shall be scourged by all people; And this is because they did crucify the Elohim of Israel and turn their hearts aside, rejecting signs and wonders, and the power and glory of the Elohim of Israel; ¶ And now, because they would turn their hearts aside, and have despised the Holy One of Israel, they shall wander in the flesh, and perish, and become a hiss and a byword, and be hated among all nations. Nevertheless, when that day cometh that they no more turn aside their hearts against the Holy One of Israel, then will YHVH remember the covenants which He did make unto their fathers; Yea, and all the earth shall see the salvation of YHVH, and every nation, kindred, tongue, and people shall be blessed. ¶ Wherefore, I do know that the Messiah, the very Yachad Yachid Echad, shall come among the children of men, To take upon Himself the transgressions of His people, and that He shall atone for the sins of the world; for I have seen it. And I did ask with my heart, saying: What then of the nation of Judah and her people, shall YHVH, our Elohim forget His covenant with her? ¶ And the angel of YHVH did speak unto me, saying: Which is the greater servant, they who serve their master for the sake of their reward, or they who do what is required them because it is their mitzvoth? In other words: Which is the greater servant, they who doth serve their master for the sake of reward, or the servant who doth serve that the task be done in righteousness? Behold, I say unto you: That they who do what is required them for the sake of the covenant shall have not but the reward of the covenant, But they who do their mitzvoth because the kingdom of Heaven is born inside of them, to these come the true reward: For the glory of Heaven truly doth belong to them, and none can ever take their birthright from them, And great shall be their inheritance for they shall be given all that Yah YHVH hath. ¶ Wherefore, worry not, for YHVH shall be ever watchful over His Israel. Though the world will scorn them, yet YHVH Elohim does not forget His Israel, and the world shall see the love YHVH does have for His people. Chapter 16 The Vision of Zenock, continued. And now, having been granted an understanding of these things, I was taken again in vision unto the last days. And I did see that the people of YHVH Elohim, they that would be Israel, they did find peace in their hearts insomuch that the mighty arm of they who did overthrow the first oppressors were themselves overcome; and they did flee from before Israel. And they did not make war with weapons nor with arms, but they did live in such peace that any that were sent to make war with them were converted by the power of the voice of their hearts; For these did not focus on their words, but on their actions, and their works were the works of El Olam, and El Alohykm, which is to say, The All Powerful Ones. ¶ And though war did continue all around Zion, no one did dare to contend with Zion, for she was Israel in her heart and the fear of men was not in her. And any armies that did dare to fight against Zion only saw their men throw down their weapons of war and run, fleeing to Zion; Therefore, the mighty arm of mankind did teach his people against Zion and did say unto them: Who is Zion? Run off! For none can find her! And they that do shall be devoured by her cunning. And this made the people afraid, yet those that did seek Israel, these I did see that the Voice did bring them into Zion. ¶ And though Israel should be shattered and scattered, I did see that YHVH did bring them all home in Yachad Yachid Echad, the very Messiah of the Heavens and the Earth. And I did see that all the wars of mankind did melt away from before my eyes, and in their place, I did see a new heaven and a new earth. ¶ And the Zion of the Heavens did come down, and was one with the earth, and the new Jerusalem, the city of peace, did bridge the creation with her Creator, never again to be apart. And El Olam, seated upon His throne, did look into the eyes of His Bride and say: All things are made new! ¶ And the gates of the city of Zion, even that New Jerusalem, were always open, and the gates did not close from evening until morning, nor from morning til evening, And all they who did desire to enter did flow in freely, for they that were unclean desired it not, for they were sore afraid. ¶ And then did I ask the angel of YHVH, saying: What is this? ¶ And the Malak of YHVH did answer me, saying: Behold, from the beginning was the Torah taught unto mankind, and unto all they who did feel of the Breath of Ha’Elohim, being hearers of the Voice and doers of the Word also, are given the soul of the Torah. But the soul of the Torah is given only unto they who do seek after her, for she is not hidden yet must be revealed for the plainness of her; For the soul of mankind doth delight in the plainness that they might learn the things of YHVH, and after this manner doth YHVH Elohim work amongst the children of mankind. And the plainness of the soul of the soul of the Torah is written in the words of the Torah, And the Word is passed down from mouth to ear unto all they that have ears to hear, and written upon the night skies for all they who do have eyes to see. ¶ The whole of creation is in mankind; the creation and the Breath of YHVH too be in mankind, should they seek to live; Therefore, what one man will do unto another he does unto himself, and the gift that one woman gives unto another she doth give unto herself. Wherefore, know that when one does judge another, they do only judge themselves; Therefore, judge only in righteousness which is to judge only to be thyself purified in YHVH Elohim. ¶ And speaking unto the angel of YHVH with my heart, I did speak, saying: What is this? And what is this to do with what El Olam hath shone unto me? ¶ And the angel of YHVH did answer me, saying: Behold, in the last days the restoration shall come, And it shall be a restoration of all things (tikkun olam), and this is what you did see before thine eyes. And the restoration is even as this: At the first mankind did seek to force his will on Ha’Elohim, But mankind (Adam) is created in the image of Ha’Elohim, not Ha’Elohim in the image of mankind; Therefore, the works of mankind done for salvation freely given in the covenant are in vain; But the love of YHVH Elohim given in the Torah, for all they who do learn their mitzvoth and do keep it, unto these are given to drink from the living waters of eternal life. And by the restoration of Israel shall the light of the Messiah shine forth to heal this, the creation of YHVH; And then shall all that was broken be restored, and the waste places rebuilt, and the ruins of the earth shall be made a garden; yea, this earth shall be Eden once again. Chapter 17 The Marriage of Zenock and Sarah And it came to pass that I did notice the daughter of Laman and the sister of Baraq, for the beauty of her radiance did shine like that of the sun, and her eyes, they did overcome me insomuch that I did desire to take her as my wife. And Laman, the son of Zenos, did see me looking upon Sarah, and he did give her unto me to be my wife, and I did let her possess me that I should be her husband. ¶ And it came to pass that she did bare unto me four sons, and she did name them Joseph, and Zenoch, and Jacob, and the youngest of our sons she did name Zenos; Yea, and she did also bear me two daughters, and she did name the first Makhlah, and second she did name Rachel after our mother, the most beloved of the wives of our father, Jacob. And Joseph was the first-born of us, and Rachel the youngest of our seed, and I did bless them and set them apart. Yea, and I did bless my wife, and I did set her apart, a High Priestess unto YHVH, El Elyon, and the Voice did give unto her a new name, even Lyaurah (Hebrew, ליאורה “a light unto me,” “illumination” or “enlightenment”). ¶ And it came to pass that after I did dwell with them in the house of Laman, serving him for ten years, that the angel of YHVH did come unto me, desiring that I should return to that cave. ¶ And it came to pass that as we traveled, the Voice did speak unto me, and we did stop by merchants as they were resting in the wilderness in their travels. And I did speak unto Lyaurah, and she did know and she did understand, for she did know the ways of YHVH, our Elohim. And taking her hand, and placing it into the hand of that merchant, I did say unto him: Behold, thou art my brother, and she your wife, and these, thy children; so it must be that the Torah be kept, For Moses did say: And if brethren dwell together and one of them die and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger; the brother of her husband shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of a brother of that husband unto her. And now, you are also of the seed of Joseph; therefore, you are my brother, and I, I shall not live; therefore, behold my brother, this thy wife, and these thy children. ¶ And it came to pass that he did swear an oath unto me to keep them and to serve them all the days of his life, And that all that he had should be given unto them, for his wife was barren and they had no seed, and they had gone before Ha’Elohim, even as our father, Abraham and our mother, Sarah, seeking heirs. And the angel of YHVH did speak unto them in a dream, saying El Olam did have seed for him, and that they should be given him in the wilderness; Therefore, this day the things of YHVH Elohim were come to pass, and he did rejoice for his petition had been granted. And it came to pass that I did return unto that cave a lone man, knowing my fate. Chapter 18 The Journey to the Cave And it came to pass that as I did continue my journey back to that cave, I was alone. ¶ And it came to pass that as I walked, I was no longer alone, for one that appeared unto me as a man walked beside me, to tempt me; And as we walked, he did speak unto me, saying: Behold, my son, Zenock, thou should not fear death, for by me, if thou should desire it, thou shall live forever. And I did not speak unto him, for I did see him as he was, and I knew that he was not a man. ¶ And he did speak again unto me, saying: Dost thou desire death then? ¶ And I did open my mouth at this to speak, saying: I desire nothing more than the will of YHVH, my Elohim. ¶ And he did speak unto me again, saying: Know not that I am thy creator? It is I that did create all things, not YHVH nor Ha’Elohim, and it is I that did give knowledge unto thy father, Adam, and thy mother, Eve, for I am thy creator: And I did give it unto them, the fruit of that tree to eat; therefore, did I not create them? And by that knowledge am I not wisdom? And by the very hands of thy fathers and thy mothers, did I not create this world? ¶ And I did open my mouth again unto him, saying: I have stood in the Presence, and She is beyond thy light, And I have been taught by Ha’Elohim and the Malakim of El Olam; therefore, I know that thou art not the Creator: Get thee behind me, thou accuser! But he departed not, but continued speaking, saying: Thou speak of Ha’Elohim, yet it is I that did make thy father Adam and thy mother Eve to be gods: Behold, that wicked god, YHVH; he did rebel against me, saying: I am the Creator, and I shall save them! Yet he did give unto thee flesh, and I, I shall restore thee to spirit, from whence thou came. ¶ And I did speak again unto him, saying: Because of YHVH, my Elohim, and the Yachad Yachid Echad my soul has been birthed inside of me, And I who have ever lived shall never die, and this body shall be restored again when He shall come in the flesh, and die upon that tree, and rise again that I too shall rise again; Therefore, even as I have lived from before forever, so too shall I rise up after Him and take again this flesh, From corruptible into incorruptible, never to die again, and take my place at His side. And under the covering of His wings, the nations shall find peace in His light. ¶ And so it was that Samyaza (שמחזי) did speak again, saying unto me: And how was this messiah set apart? And why should He be sent into this world? And who are His gods (Elohim)? And to what realm shall you be sent? And if this world be made after that which is incorruptible, how then is it corruptible? Why has your Elohim made that which is weak, and thou saying He shall save now it? ¶ And I did open my mouth and speak unto him again, saying: Get thee behind me, thou Satan. Hear now: YHVH is my Elohim, YHVH is Unity, YHVH is ONE, by the providence of YHVH is the creation governed. YHVH is the visible and the invisible; therefore, that which is beyond YHVH is vanity, for there is nothing beyond YHVH: YHVH is One. Nothing is above YHVH, none rule over YHVH, everything exists by YHVH, and nothing doth exist but by YHVH, for YHVH is El Olam. Even thou, O Satan, were created by YHVH, but YHVH was not created; Therefore the Yachad Yachid Echad is the Only Begotten, which is to say the only one to walk this earth fulfilling all the Torah; and I do nothing but His bidding; Therefore, thou art a fool to think thou art wisdom; thou are not made in His likeness, but to tempt mankind: And by your hand mankind did not fall, for you have not power here but that which thou art given; Therefore, any power over my father Adam, and my mother Eve was not anything thou could take, but only that which thou was given, For you are nothing before them, and even less than nothing before YHVH, our Elohim. And I also am nothing before El Olam, yet I was created in the very image of Ha’Elohim, for even as Moses did say: And YHVH did speak unto She which was with YHVH from the beginning, for Ha’Elohim are one from before the beginning, before the foundation of the world: Let us make mankind in our image, after our likeness; and it was so. And art thou made of the dust of this earth? No. You, O adversary, are not even made of the shadows of this world, you are permitted by YHVH to be in it, but not a part of it; Therefore, you have no power here, no authority over Ha’Elohim nor over mankind; Therefore it is YHVH that hath all power over life and death, the heavens and the earth, paradise and sheol. And Samyaza did speak again unto me in much anger, so that the very ground did shake, saying: I am wisdom, I am the womb of the universe, from me was everything that is come into being birthed, I am the Mother and the Father, I am the first among men, I am the very breath of Ha’Elohim; Yea, I am thrice and thrice (6) masculine, thrice and thrice (6) in knowledge in power, and thrice and thrice (6) named; Therefore I am the eternal realms, I am the invisible realms, I am the virgin most pure, I am life everlasting, and if thou wilt but bow down and worship me, thou shall not die, but live forever and glory be to me and to my name. And at this, because I did see him for who he was, for my eyes were open in grace and truth and purpose, inclination and precept and remembrance, understanding and love and thinking, knowledge and peace and wisdom: And I did see that he was perdition from before the creation of this world, and that he was once in the light, but not of that light; Therefore I did know and at this I did say unto him: Get thee behind me, Satan; in the name Yeshua Ha’Mashiach, Jesus who is the very Christ, depart from before me, thou and thy minions. And it came to pass that I did return to my journey to that cave once again a lone man, accepting of my fate. Chapter 19 The Cave And it came to pass that after a few days journey I did return back to that cave alone. ¶ And it came to pass that as I entered, that I was no longer alone, for there stood before me one of the noble and great ones, a malak of YHVH. And he did speak unto me, saying: Behold, I am Ariel; therefore, hear thou through me the voice of YHVH. And I shall declare it unto you; for after ten years of study, and of prayer, and of supplication unto YHVH, the eyes of thy understanding were opened, and thou didst know. For thou wast given to travel four years to the north, and to the east for three years, and to the west for one year, and two years to the south; and in thy travels thou did walk upon the thirty-two paths. And behold, my name is Uriel; for by the light of YHVH thou shall see, and thou shall write down that which I shall tell thee that mankind might know. ¶ When mankind is born again, their heart being pierced, they begin to journey upon the path; And the path is written upon the night sky that mankind should remember and not forget, For the ladder is given unto every generation, even as Moses, friend of YHVH, did lead Israel by the path for forty years in the wilderness. And now, I shall tell it unto thee, even as I did teach it to thy father, Adam and thy mother, Eve; And they did teach it unto all of their children, and their children’s children, even until Enoch, and in the city of Zion he did teach it unto the people of YHVH. And through his son, Noah, it was passed down until Melchizedek did teach it unto thy father, Abram who is Abraham and thy mother, Sarai who is Sarah; And they did teach it unto their sons and their daughters until Moses and his wife, who did learn it from the father of Zipporah, even Jethro. But it has become lost unto Israel, as to the meaning of it, and it shall be lost; therefore thou shall write it up that it should be read and studied, and learned by Israel in the last days. ¶ In the beginning was YHVH, and YHVH did create the elohim through the emanations, and YHVH is Elohim; And of the elohim, the ten emanations that YHVH did create, YHVH did keep one hidden (understanding), and all the emanations being one; therefore, there are ten emanations not nine and not eleven, and these are twelve. And these emanations are seen in the divine, the temporal, and every human being that has ever walked this earth, that does now walk this earth, and ever will walk this earth; And this because all things that are made are the very creation of YHVH, and all is in all, and all doth be all, for all is one, even as YHVH is One (or YHVH is United). And these are the twelve emanations: eternal compassion (in temptation and in teshuvah) — eternally knowing — eternally wise— Eternally merciful — eternally just — eternal honor — eternal grace — eternal foundation — eternal sovereignty — Eternally knowing — eternally eternal, eternally infinite, eternal light; and is this not YHVH Elohim? ¶ And there are ten emanations, and they may be seen reflected in the heavens as they move about in their own ways, and one is this earth upon which thou standeth, And they tell mankind of the beginnings of the days and the beginnings of the months and the beginnings of the years, and the years of Jubilee; And there are twenty-two symbols (letters) written upon the night sky, and all may be seen within the year, and these do mark the Holy Days and the seasons; and together these are the thirty-two paths. And one is the emanation of divine creation, and one is the emanation of knowledge and wisdom, and one is the emanation of wisdom and knowledge, And one is the emanation of merciful love and kindness, and one is the emanation of strength and judgment (discipline), and one is the emanation of beauty in harmony, And one is the emanation of victory in endurance, and one is the emanation of glory in humility, and one is the emanation of the covenant in foundation, And one is the emanation of sovereignty in the kingdom, and one is the emanation of understanding, and one is the emanation of eternal life. ¶ And the garden of the thirty-two paths and these hold the three pillars: On the left is the Torah of Sapphire and the covenant; knowledge, strength, and majesty: Love YHVH, thy Elohim. On the right is the Torah of Emerald and of the temple; wisdom, mercy, and endurance: Love thy neighbor, for this is the creation of YHVH, thy Elohim. In betwixt these is the Torah of Marble and the straight path to God (Israel); harmony, foundation, and the kingdom: Love thyself, for thou art created in the very image of thy Elohim. All of these are one path in thirty-two paths of the Torah, the Rituals, and the very Kingdom of YHVH Elohim; straight is the gate and narrow is the way which leadeth unto eternal life. Chapter 20 The Thirty-Two Paths And the first path is Keter, the path of eternal light and life, the opening of the gate, returning to the light of YHVH Elohim, the beginning of the journey towards the divine reality.

And the nineteenth path is Tif’eret, the path of beauty and hidden power; when the High Priest and High Priestess make the will of YHVH known, the miracle is seen.

And the twenty-ninth path is Shin, the path from Hod to Malchut and Malchut to Hod; the path of the sacred body, the flesh of mankind is the temple of YHVH, for the Breath doth dwell within. And the thirtieth path is Yesod, the path of support (foundation), here Zion will be gathered, one soul at a time. And the thirty-first path is Tav, the path from Yesod to Malchut and Malchut to Yesod; the path of eternal truth, divine knowledge and wisdom are eternal truth unchangeable. And the thirty-second path Malchut, is the path of the kingdom; the path of ascension is to return to that Elohim who did create all living and who does know the beginning from the end; amen and amen. Chapter 21 The Sefirot And the first path is called Keter, for it is the crown of YHVH and YHVH is El Elyon over all Ha’Elohim, and the light of the crown of YHVH is from before the beginning, For it hath no beginning and no ending; therefore it is not comprehendible unto mankind. And the first path is eternal life, and in the sky the Crown (Keter) is represented by Chamah, which is Shinehah the sun, for the light of the sun doth dispel the darkness of the night. And the Crown (Keter) of YHVH is light beyond seeing, and knowledge beyond knowing, and wisdom beyond wisdom, and understanding beyond comprehension, and is this not eternal? Therefore, it is through this light that all paths are illuminated, and all paths may be seen, And the first path does light the way back to that Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh who did create all things. ¶ And the sixth path is called Chokhmah, for Hei, she is the wisdom of YHVH, and the Presence of YHVH is the Shekinah (Mother) over all of creation, and the light of her wisdom is from before the beginning, For YHVH hath no beginning and no end, therefore YHVH cannot be created, but is El Olam; Therefore when in the Presence of YHVH, mankind becomes wise in the things of YHVH. And the sixth path is wisdom and intuition (revelation), and in the sky she is represented by Chochevet, Ayelet ha’Shachar (Doe of the Dawn/Venus) for she doth chase the sun, and for many moons she will rise with him, and for many moons she will set with him. And the Wisdom of YHVH is wisdom beyond knowledge, and revelation beyond seeing; Therefore it is through the seer stone, that great urim and thummim, that the will of YHVH is made known by Malkath ha’Shamayim (the Queen of Heaven). ¶ And the fifth path is called Da’at, for Yod, he is the knowledge of good and evil, and the Father is even as a star that doth wander about the heavens to gather up His Israel, For what father looketh not after his seed? Therefore, the Father doth send the Son of Man to gather up His Israel. And the fifth path is the study of the Torah and the knowledge given therein; therefore, in the sky he is represented by Kokhav Khamma (Mercury), the witness of Elohim. And the knowledge of YHVH Elohim is the revelation and the rock that Israel shall build her house upon, For what rock is greater than the knowledge of YHVH who is El Olam? ¶ And the twelfth path is Chesed, for he is the mercy and divine vision of YHVH, and Yachad Yachid Echad, the Son, is sent to be rejected but he will be made known by the Father, For what father loveth not his son? And thus in the Son will the Father be well pleased. And the twelfth path is the mercy of YHVH, and in the sky he is represented by Sikkuth (Saturn or tent) for he is a protector and the mercy; And the vision of YHVH doth cover mankind, hiding many sins in His love and kindness. And the mercy of YHVH is the fruit of righteousness and the fruit born out of the womb of wisdom. ¶ And the thirteenth path is Gevurah, for he is the strength and divine justice of YHVH, and by the holy fire of the Breath of Elohim (Ruach HaKodesh) is mankind judged, For by the fire of the atonement of the Son of Man, the Creator becomes one with His creation through the Torah and the Covenants. And the thirteenth path is the righteousness of YHVH, and in the sky he is represented by Tzedeq (Jupiter or justice); For at the last days, all nations shall be gathered before YHVH Elohim to be divided to the right or to the left; And the mercy of YHVH shall go with all they who do seek it, and all they who choose it not shall be cast out from before Ha’Elohim, for YHVH is One. ¶ And the twenty-ninth path is Shin, the path from Hod to Malchut and Malchut to Hod is also found in the hidden path from Chokhmah to Gevurah and Gevurah to Chokhmah: The path of the sacred body, the flesh of mankind is the temple of YHVH, for the Breath doth dwell within Binah. ¶ And the twenty-sixth path is Tzaddi, the path from Netzach to Malchut and Malchut to Netzach is also found in the hidden path from Da’at to Chesed and from Chesed to Da’at: The path of rebirth, through the Son of Man all are born anew, all they who come unto YHVH in teshuvah will find Binah. And the light of Binah doth rise up unto Keter, upon the fourth path which is Gimel for in Israel every man is king and every woman is queen, into that divine manifestation revealed where Gimel doth meet Dalet, For the path of hidden mysteries is revealed unto those faithful to YHVH Elohim. ¶ And the nineteenth path is Tif’eret, for he is the harmony and divine balance of YHVH, And by the unity and the divine compassion of YHVH Elohim is the salvation of mankind found. And the nineteenth path is the atonement of YHVH, and in the sky he is represented by Lebanah, which is Olea (the Moon, or to ascend–to go up); For the light of Lebanah is but a reflection of that of Chamah which is but a reflection of the light of Kolob; And the unity of YHVH shall go with all they who do seek it, and all they who choose to partake of the fruit of the tree of life shall walk the path of Ha’Elohim, for YHVH is One. ¶ And the twenty-third path is Netzach, for he is the eternal victory and divine endurance of YHVH, And by the endurance and the divine splendor of YHVH is the victory of life found. And the twenty-third path is the eternity of YHVH, and is unseen in the Shamayim (sky) represented by the Shamayim a Kokaubeam (star) invisible to the eyes of mankind; For the light of the Shamayim is forever and ever, and the Kokaubeam continues and never endeth; And the splendor of YHVH shall go on forever and ever, and the eternity of El Olam is never-ending, and so are His endowments. ¶ And the twenty-fourth path is Hod, for he is the eternal splendor and divine majesty of YHVH, And by the honor and the divine grandeur of YHVH is the submission of the creation found in the obedience to the will of YHVH. And the twenty-fourth path is the glory of YHVH, and is unseen in the Shamayim (sky) represented by the Shamayim a Kokaubeam (star) invisible to the eyes of mankind; For the splendor of the Shamayim is forever and ever, and the Kokaubeam continues and never endeth; And the glory of YHVH shall go on forever and ever, and the eternity of El Olam is never-ending, and so is His Torah. ¶ And the thirtieth path is Yesod, for he is the eternal foundation and divine rock and the footstool of YHVH, And by the establishment and the divine foundation (Hebrew, yesad, base or support) of the priesthood of YHVH is the structure of the everlasting covenant with the creation found. And the thirtieth path is the rock of YHVH, and is unseen in the Shamayim (sky) represented by the Erets (Earth) the life of mankind; For the creation of Elohim Shaddai doth receive the light of YHVH, to take in the warmth and life of the love of YHVH; And upon the foundation of YHVH shall all things be built and the creation shall become one, even as is the Creator. And the thirty-second path Malchut, for he is the kingdom and divine sovereignty and the dominion of YHVH, And by the establishment of the soul of mankind is the work and glory of YHVH for in you is the kingdom found. ¶ And the thirty-second path is the life of YHVH, and is this creation, both you, O man, and all of thy kind, and all of the beast of the fields, and the foul of the air, and the fish of the sea, and all the plants, yea and all life where here upon this Eden rests. For the creation of YHVH Elohim doth receive the light of YHVH, to take in the warmth and life of the love of Adonai who is HaShem; And in the kingdom of YHVH shall all things be one and the creation shall be Eden, resting in the Shekinah forever and ever. ¶ And all of the symbols (letters) in the night skies do create the paths between these, connecting the earth to the heavens, and the heavens to the earth, and the earth and the heavens to mankind. And each has its songs and its stories, and all are but a reflection of the thirty-two paths thou, Zenock, have walked upon as thou hath taken up the Chereb. And the thirty-two paths, they are the rituals, and they are the covenant, and they are the Torah, for they are the Chereb of YHVH; And they are the oneness of YHVH Elohim, and the oneness of the creation, and the oneness of the Creator and this creation; Therefore, walk them daily, walk them in prayer and supplication, walk them in holiness, and in kindness, meekness, and in love. For this Tree of Life is but a representation of the love of YHVH, and the seed of it is planted in the hearts of mankind that they might see light separated from the darkness that her fruit might be born out. ¶ Wherefore I do say unto thee again: Walk these thirty-two paths daily, meekly, in submission, in patience; Yea, walk them full of love, submissive to all things which YHVH Elohim seeth fit to inflict upon thee, even as a child doth submit to a parent. And behold, if thou will do this, thou shall be found blameless before Ha’Elohim, loving thy fellow man and serving YHVH thy Elohim by serving thy neighbor who is this creation. ¶ And this is the Torah and the covenant, that ye the creation be one, even as YHVH thy Elohim is One. And if thou will but keep this love in thy heart always then the covenant is fulfilled in you, and YHVH Elohim is El Olam Elohim Shaddai, and doth always keep His covenants. And when the love of YHVH is found in the hearts of mankind, there will be no more wars nor strife, But the will of YHVH Elohim will be done on this earth even as in the Heavens: So mote it be, and Amen. Chapter 22 The Covenant And it came to pass the malak of YHVH, Ariel, did place before me a band of silver (an amulet) and etched into the face of it I did read: ¶ By the covenant between mankind, YHVH has kept: By the Chereb and the covenant is the creation revealed. Great are they who take the covenant to keep it. The Creator and the creation are one in the covenant and the rituals. Gracious is YHVH to all those who do love Him and remember Him. Showing mercy to all those who love Him and keep His Torah. They who take upon themselves the Chereb of YHVH, YHVH will know them. The Eternal One doth never forget but doth always remember. The grace of YHVH is blessing His Chereb more than any others. His Presence keeping away from any snare, or any evil. For our redemption is in YHVH. And YHVH is our Elohim. YHVH is our restorer (preservation). YHVH is our rock. YHVH bless and keep you. YHVH cause His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you. YHVH lift up His face towards you and give unto you His shalom (peace). ¶ And it came to pass that I did take that band of silver and roll it up upon my arm, that I should wear it and be blessed in the Presence of YHVH, my Elohim. And it came to pass that Ariel did speak it unto me, saying: They who take upon themselves the Chereb, even as did Moses and Zipporah, may have such protection; But know that these are the words etched upon thy soul and to wear them upon thy flesh is but an echo of thy inward covenant, even as are all signs and tokens, rituals and protections. And remember this day that all this hath been done as thou did desire to stand in the Presence of YHVH and to keep the covenants and the rituals of thy fathers and thy mothers. And it came to pass that Uriel did speak again unto me, saying: Zenock, son of Zenoch, son of Levi and of Joseph; what is thy duty in this place? And I did answer him, saying: It is my covenant to keep the inner door open that all they who are desirous to learn of YHVH may know to their life or to their peril. ¶ And it came to pass that Ariel did give (or presented) unto me a sword, and with it he did speak again unto me, saying: This is the implement of thy office, for it doth represent the Chereb given unto mankind from YHVH Elohim through Moses, friend of YHVH and Zipporah, High Priestess of El Elyon. Keep it at thy post, let it never draw blood; for though the day shall come that the people of YHVH shall sell their cloaks to buy a sword, only two shall be needed, For the meaning (purpose) of the sword is to count them righteous before YHVH, though they shall be seen as transgressors before the world; Therefore, let not the sword of thy covenant draw blood or it should stain the Chereb of thy soul and remove the priesthood of it, and it shall cease to protect thee. And now, have thou faith enough for this? And I did answer him, saying: Yea, thou knowest that I do, and I shall walk unto death a free man before YHVH. ¶ And it came to pass that Uriel did continue to speak unto me, saying: Thou shall continue thy duty, an write all that I have spoken unto thee, And thou shall draw out all the signs and tokens that thou hast been given, that all they who should read these, thy words, shall know them; For all they who do enter into the Priesthood of YHVH shall know one another by the signs and the tokens given them, and these shall be given one unto the other that they shall know. And they shall be taught the orders of prayer, but the true order of prayer shall be for the High Priest and the High Priestess, Even as it was in the days of Adam and Eve, and Enoch and Aadani and Yydnah and Ydris, and Noah and Na’amah, and Melchizedek and Yiskah (יסכה, Hebrew, “to see” or “to look”) and Puyah (פוּעה Hebrew, “to shine”), Moses and Tharbys (תרבעס, “strength”) and Kaashet, and Adoniah (אדניח, Hebrew, “lord” – feminine, “master”), and Zipporah. And they did call down the heavens, even Keter, Da’at, and Chokhmah, to the earth, through each of the days of creation, even Chesed, Gevurah, Tif’eret, Netzach, Hod, and Yesod, into that Sabbath day that is Malchut; And in the true order of prayer, the High Priest and the High Priestess do also pull the heavens to the earth, the Crown to the Kingdom, To know and make known the will of YHVH, that it should be done in all things, that the will of YHVH Elohim be done on the earth even as in the heavens. And the words that are spoken are even thus: Pe le-El (pronounced: Pai Lai Ale), O God, Hear the Words of My Mouth! And when the High Priest and the High Priestess speak as one, in the Presence of YHVH, they are heard from on high, and they become as an urim and thummim. And thus are the flocks cared for, and the widows and the orphans fed, that the wants of the needy are met: So mote it be, Amen and Amen. Chapter 23 The Record And it came to pass that I did even as I had been instructed, writing down all that had come to pass and all that I had been instructed to write. And so it was that I found myself still living there in that cave; And there YHVH did bless me with living water and with manna for my soul, and El Elyon did bless me with food and water for my nourishment. ¶ And it came to pass that Ariel did again come unto me, to teach and instruct me, that I might write it down for the learning of all they who would find these records and partake of them. And I did speak unto him, saying: Ariel, lion of El Olam, where are they whom I shall teach? ¶ And it came to pass that Ariel did speak unto me, saying: These words are for those that shall read these, thy records; therefore, take up and write as thus: ¶ There are but two paths for mankind to walk: the path of life and the path of death; The path of life is even as a tree that, planted as a seed in thy heart, doth grow up to bear good fruit, and it tasteth sweet; But the path of death doth dig its way down, to corrupt thy heart to the defiling of the soul; For once a man or a woman knoweth good from evil that soul is born inside of them, and should that soul be corrupted then is that path unto perdition wrought. Likewise, it is so that there are two Priesthoods: the Priesthood of an Endless Life and the Priesthood of Life; And the Priesthood of life is that Priesthood given unto the Levites by their lineage, and it is given unto mankind unto the planting of that seed and to encourage the growth thereof; And that Priesthood of Endless Life hath no beginning of days nor end of years, therefore it cannot be passed down by the blood, but must be given of YHVH Elohim by the Chereb; And this is given unto all they who do confess and taste of the fruit of that tree and see that it is good, and that it be desirous above all other fruit; And these will then desire of those whom they love, that they too should partake of it, and this is the Priesthood of Endless Life made manifest. And they who are called to this Priesthood of Endless Life, these are called after the Order of Melchizedek and the Order of Migdalah; and these are called Morah Ha’Tzedek and Morah Ha’Migdalah. ¶ And the way of life is even this: Love YHVH, thy Elohim for He hath made thee and brought thee up, and love thy neighbor as thy self, for all that thou doth see is the creation of YHVH Elohim, and to love the Creator is to love His creation. And how doth one love this creation? Bless all they who curse you, pray for they who would persecute you, fast for thy enemies and those who would use you; For if thou would love they who hate thee, how should an enemy overtake thee? Therefore, give peace for violence, love for apathy, and kindness for hate; Give unto others not their needs, but their wants, when another ask of thee, hold it not back from them—yea, fulfil the desires of their hearts that are pure and just. Hold not thy hand outstretching to take from others when thou hath enough, but to give to all they who do ask of thee; And unto they who seek to give of themselves unto thee, let them give freely that Ha’Elohim should see their good deeds, but take not in gluttony; And if thou hath enough, take in love to give in love unto another, they to who it has been given to suffer the greater want. Go not give to receive, do not take more back than thou hath loaned out (do not charge interest), especially to thy brother or thy sister in Israel. Do this and YHVH Elohim shall be thy witness in all things, that thou art pure. ¶ Even as thy father, Joseph when tempted in Egypt, flee from before all that is evil, be honest in all thy dealings that thou should not be led into theft; Be thou meek, and patient, and merciful, and true to thy word, and of a peaceful countenance, and kind; Fear not the words of men but give honor and glory to YHVH for He is El Elyon. Walk with the righteous and the humble, listen not to the words of the flatterer. Judge only in righteousness that thou might be a bringer of peace and not one to cause division nor divisiveness. Bear not the burden of hypocrisy upon thy shoulders, and teach not these words to any if thou desire not to live them for thyself. This is the path of life, it leadeth unto Endless Life, and all they who do walk it shall be given freely of the gifts of the Breath of Elohim: offer up now thy confession. Chapter 24 The Confession of Zenock I do honor virtue, committing no sin against YHVH Tzidqenu (יהוה צדקנוּ), the God of Our Righteousness. I do not benefit from violence, but live in the peace of Oseh Shalom (עשה שלום) the Maker of Peace. I do not steal or take from the creation unjustly, but live with gratitude of Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh (אהיה אשר אהיה), the Creator. I do not harm the creation, nor have I slain men or women, but affirm that all life is sacred being the creation of Abba Ha’Briy’ah (אבי הבריאה) the Father of Creation. I have not taken grain from those in need, but have given in the name of YHVH Yir’eh (יהוה יראה), God will provide. I go forth not to take HaShem YHVH (השם יהוה), The Name of God in vain, but give all offerings in light, love, and truth. I live in truth, taking nothing from the temples of Ha’ Kodesh Israel (קדוש ישראל), the Holy One of Israel, without the blessing of YHVH. I speak the words from my mouth with sincerity of heart, speaking no vain thing in the name of YHVH Ameth (יהוה הוא אמת), God is Truth. When I take of the earth, I take only that which I need to fulfill my wants and to fulfill the desires of Bora Olam (בורא עולם), Creator of the World, my Elohim. I offer words of blessing, cursing not save it be the will of Ahman Ha’Olam (אמון העולם), the Master Architect of the World. I rest in the peace of YHVH, breaking not my oaths nor taking the name Shalom YHVH (שלום יהוה), God of Peace, in vain. I seek to do good to those who Kodesh Israel (קדוש ישראל), the Holy One of Israel, doth bring upon my path, causing none to weep but to praise the Holy One of Israel and give honor and glory to Kodesh Israel. I have been given dominion over all living things upon the earth by Ha’Rachaman (הרחמן) the Merciful One, therefore I honor the creation, and drink not the blood of it. Ve’Daiyan Israel (ודין ישראל), the Judge and Protector of Israel, knows that I can be trusted, and that I do no murder, nor kidnap, nor taking anyone by force. I till the earth in the name of Elohim Shaddai (אלוֹה שדי), that I should not be burdensome unto others, and I am the gardener (Hebrew, abad עבד servant or worshiper) of the earth. I do not share gossip, but I keep the counsel of YHVH Adoni Ha’Shaboth (יהוה אדוֹן השבת) God, Lord of the Sabbath. I do not bear false witness, nor do I slander, but speak well of others in the name of Ha’Yohtzar Ha’Or (היצר האור), the God Who did Create and Fashion the Light. Refraining from anger, I do turn away from wrath, being quick to listen, slow to speak, that I might produce the righteousness of Tzur Israel (צוּר ישראל), the Rock of Israel. YHVH Raphacha (יהוה רפאך) the God that Heals and Restores, I look not after the wife of another that I might not be tempted, but flee from before the temptress even as did my father, Joseph. I take no concubines (Hebrew פִילֶגֶשׁ piylegesh, can mean “paramour” or another love, here meaning sexual slaves) but delight in the wife of my heart, that I might be pure in heart, seeking after only El Roi (אל ראי), the God Who Sees Me, for all of my days. I do take joy in the name Ben Enosh (בן־אנוש) the Son of Man, and my hope is in the Son of Man (Adam), that I would talk with Him in the paths of righteousness towards understanding. I walk forward in El Elyon (אל עלְיוֹן), the Most High God, not resting on mankind nor doing the labors of men. I am moved by the compassion of YHVH El Racham (יהוה אל רחוּם) the Lord God of Loving-kindness, my bowels being filled with compassion towards my fellow man. I strive for reproof from my brother, listening to the voices of those who do offer me reproof in the name Gevurah (גבוּרה), Strength and Justice. I do seek after the bond of peace, I do seek after the harmony of Malchut (מלכוּת), the Kingdom, with all mankind, and most especially with the Israel of YHVH. I seek after truth in all its forms for all truth doth come from Ruach HaKodesh (רוח הקודש) the Holy Breath. I love Yachad (יחיד), harmony and unity, for Yachid (יחיד), the One set apart, loved us first, and I seek after the love of Echad (אחד), the Unified, that I might bask in that love and share it forth as a light unto the world (יחיד יחיד אחד Yachad Yachid Echad, the Unifier set apart to unite us all). I seek not the sword of my anger, but the rock of Yesod (יסוֹד) the Foundation, which is a sword of justice and of mercy. I seek after the wellbeing of others before myself, that I should not become a wrathful spirit that doth stirreth up strife but be a Chereb (sword or tool) in the hands of Emeth (אמת), Truth. I bite not nor seek to devour another, that I not be consumed by hate but stand in Panie HaMayim, The Presence of the Waters (פני המים, The Face of the Waters). I forgive those who do wrong me, for I have wronged Chesed (חסד) Mercy, and I have been forgiven; therefore, I do forgive even as I have been forgiven. I strive to hear Ha’Kol, The Voice (הקוֹל a name for the Holy Spirit), and to stand in the Presence (Shekinah) of Elohim that I should feel the Breath of YHVH and harken unto The Voice. I seek compassion for others, not to conceal my sins but to confess them, that I might prosper in Da’at and Chokhmah (דעת חכמה), Knowledge and Wisdom. I seek to do good in all things in the name of Tif’eret (תפארת), Beauty , and not after my own will that I should walk into my own doom. I curse not they who would hang their grievances over me, but offer blessings in Keter (כתר), the Crown, that my enemies should prosper even as do they whom I do loveth. I damn not the pathways of the blessings of Netzach (נצח), Eternity, towards my neighbors but ask of Hod (הוֹד), Glory to bless them even as He hath blessed me. I speak only of the good they who El Olam (אל עוֹלם), the Everlasting God, doth send to cross my path and ask YHVH to bless them and not curse them. I praise Yah (יה The Father God and the Mother Goddess), the Mother and the Father, that their blessings poured out unto me should be seen and others not praise me, giving all glory where it be due. I do humble myself before Avinu (אבינוּ), Our Father, and give all thanks unto Him. I do not take from the dead, but I do honor Elohim Chaiyim (אלהים חיים) the living Elohim, and I give unto them their due, not cutting myself for their sake. I confess with the words of my mouth that the Torah is not fulfilled in me, but that salvation comes only by the grace of YHVH, and the works of Elolaum (אלעוֹלם), Endless Perfection, are given through us despite (notwithstanding or regardless of) all we may do. I do raise up the cup of salvation, given me to drink by En Sof (אין סוֹף), the Never Ending God, confessing of my own nothingness in the eyes of the Infinite by these fourty-two names of YHVH. Chapter 25 The Mothers And it came to pass that hat the malak of יהוה (YHVH), Qaphsiel (קפץיאל, God is my hastening), did stand before me, and he did open his mouth, and he did speak unto me saying: Zenock, son of Zenoch, son of Joseph and of Levi, I shall teach thee of the symbols that thou did engrave upon that sword which thou did set apart to use in glorifying יהוה (YHVH): For thou did pray over it, asking יהוה (YHVH) to sanctify it, that it be holy; and thou did carry it with thee and thou did sleep with it by thy side; And thou did fast, not eating any meat, nor anything that cometh from a living thing, neither meat, nor milk, nor fish, nor honey, eating only that manna YHVH thy Elohim did give thee for thy sustenance; And thou did bathe every night, touching not that which is unclean, washing thy hands in salt once in the morning, once at midday, and once in the evening; And thou did keep thy thoughts pure, that when my brother, Ariel, did come before thee, asking for that sword, he did present it unto you after thou did set it at his feet. And Ariel did declare it holy; therefore, it is holy, save it be desecrated by the shedding of blood. But what of these symbols thou did place upon them? doth thou know them? ¶ And I did open up my mouth, speaking unto that malak, saying: Nay, except that they are written upon the night sky, for my learning was in the language of the Egyptians. ¶ And that malak, Qaphsiel, did open again his mouth and he did speak unto me, saying: I shall tell thee now of the three symbols etched upon the hilt (the handle or the base), marked in the three stones: And these are the three mothers, even Aleph, Mem, and Shin; And Aleph is that path of wisdom, and Mem is that path of divine mediation, and Shin is that path of the sacred body; For the revelation is given by the Breath of יהוה (YHVH) into mankind, the flow of divine power comes from the heavens to fill the earth, and the flesh of mankind is the temple of יהוה (YHVH), for the Breath doth dwell within. ¶ And these three are the Mothers for they are Creators, and by these symbols are the foundations of this reality (Hebrew: קשט, truth, balance, or equity) created. Yea, and these three are the very foundations of the whole, keep them in thy hands, For in them is the mystery and they who have them are given power over fire, water, and air: The male of them and the female of them, which is to say the giving of them and the taking of them. For the Mothers are creators; therefore, there is a masculine and a feminine to them, and the great Mediator who is יהוה (YHVH) doth stand between them; For in the chest of mankind air (Aleph), and in the center of mankind is the water (Mem), and in the head of mankind is the fire (Shin), And without the breath there is no life, and without the blood there is no life, an without the spirit there is no life; therefore, without these, the Mothers, there is no life in mankind. And these three Mothers are the Earth, for she did give birth to mankind; therefore, give her the honor she is due; Yea, and respect thy Mother the earth, and thy Father in the Heavens, for these are the Creator, and thou art their creation. ¶ All of the symbols of the skies are written upon Aleph, she is the first Mother from before this creation, she is of יהוה (YHVH) for she is the silence of all things and the breath of all things. She is the Mother who connects the Creator and the creation, the Heavens and the earth, she is the breath in and the breath out and the pause in between. She is the mother who did brood over the waters of the abyss before the creation, she is the sacred breath that did breathe life into mankind. She is drawn as the path towards the heaven (the upper world) and the path to the earth (the lower world) with a ladder uniting them, that ladder is Vav, the very staff of righteousness. Aleph is One even as YHVH is One. ¶ In the beginning, the Breath of Ha’Elohim did rest upon Mem, the waters of the abyss (1 Moses 3:4-5), she is the first Mother of the creation for in her did the intelligence rest and all creation did come forth from out of her. She is the Mother who doth connect mankind unto YHVH יהוה (YHVH) through that Torah, for in her is the mercy of knowledge and wisdom bringing both life and chaos. She is the mother who is the womb, holding in her the secrets of this creation, for in her is the water of mercy that shall quench all thirst. She is drawn as the waves of the sea, moved by the Mother air, reaching down to the earth to give her the mercy of YHVH, lifting mankind up, connecting the Heavens and the earth. ¶ Mankind is created by the letter Shin, being born again by she who is first Mother in the creation of the soul, that mankind be given their own will and pleasure, intellect, and emotions. She is the Mother who connects mankind to Ha’Elohim, bringing the seven degrees of creation into the three ages before the creation. She is the Mother of the suffering servant and of the conquering king, for even as the messiah who shall come in the meridian of time shall suffer in death that justice be served, he too shall live again, the king to conquer death. And she is drawn as three pillars of faith: prayer, and deeds of righteousness, and the study of the Torah, connected by that straight path that is Israel (straight to God), And she is made by the thumb extended outward and upward, the first two fingers straight together, and the last two fingers straight together (this may be done by one or both hands). ¶ And these are the three Mothers who are the three creators of the divine symbols written upon the night skies. The fire of Shin is above, water of Mem below, the breath of Aleph brings them together, that the fire should be upon the earth and the water in the sky that mankind should be given life eternal. And Shin does give mankind strength for action, and Mem the womb that mankind should be born again, and Aleph the divine breath of creation that mankind should be even as Ha’Elohim. All they who are brought unto YHVH Elohim have been taught by these, their mothers, and if they shall doubt not, YHVH Elohim shall deliver them; For thou must be born again, and this not just once, but in every world you ascend. Chapter 26 The Doubles And it came to pass the malak of YHVH, Qaphsiel (קפץיאל, God is my hastening), did open his mouth again and he did speak unto me saying: Zenock, son of Zenoch, son of Joseph and of Levi, I shall teach thee now of the symbols that thou did engrave upon that sword which thou did set apart to use in glorifying YHVH. And I shall tell thee now of the seven symbols etched upon the blade, and these are Doubles (or repetition), for these seven symbols are etched upon both sides of that blade: And these are the seven in duplication, even Kaf, Resh, Bet, Tav, Gimel, Dalet, and Peh. And Bet is that path of divine knowledge, and Gimel is that path of divine kingship and queenship, and Dalet is that path of hidden mysteries, And Kaf is that path of victory, and Peh is that path of overcoming, and Resh is that path of nature, and Tav is that path of eternal truth. Yet these symbols are written out upon the chereb as such: victory (Kaf), vigor (Resh), knowledge (Bet), truth (Tav), royalty (Gimel), mystery (Dalet), and endurance (Peh). And these are the directions: Kaf, Height; Resh, the West; Bet, the South; Tav, the center place, even the Holy of Holies within the temples of יהוה (YHVH); Gimel, the North; Dalet, the East; and Peh, Depth; and these are the movement of the blade. ¶ And upon the one side, these are the foundation of light or life: Kaf, the Rock of Life; Resh, the Seeds of Peace; Bet, the Seas of Wisdom; Tav, the Seasons of Splendor; Gimel, the Increase of Mankind; Dalet, the Fertility of the Holy; and Peh, Strength of Purification. And on the other side, these are the separation into darkness or death: Kaf, the Sands of Death; Resh, the Sterility of War; Bet, the Violence of Ignorance; Tav, the Lie of Insignificance; Gimel, the Treachery of Poverty; Dalet, the Sterility of Lust; and Peh, the Slavery of Perdition. And thus is the sharpness of the two-edge sword, for the Word of YHVH is alive and ever moving forward, piercing the heart of mankind and splitting the soul and spirit, For YHVH Elohim is El Olam (אל עוֹלם Everlasting God or Eternal God) and is able to discern the intention of the heart of mankind, for mankind is the creation of Ha’Elohim. ¶ And Bet is in duplication upon the chereb (Hebrew חרב, “sword,” “tool”, or “mattock”) for she is the house of the Sacred Breath (Ruach HaKodesh or Holy Spirit); And she is the first of the seven in her place in the thirty-two paths as she is duality: Even as Moses did receive two tablets of sapphire with the Torah of YHVH, yet the same was written upon both stones, so is Bet. Yea, and she is the paradox of this creation, and she is written as a safe place with the door open unto the heart that all might enter into the Holy of Holies of YHVH Elohim. ¶ And Gimel is in duplication upon the chereb for she is the charity of El Olam (אל עוֹלם Everlasting God or Eternal God); And she is the symbol that is in action, in movement to gather up the water, and to give unto all they who have not. And she is the second of the seven in her place upon the thirty-two paths as she is the freedom of choice, for mankind to receive or reject their mitzvoth: Even as Israel did say as one: All that YHVH hath spoken we will do, the sons and daughters of Jacob did reject their mitzvah for that calf of gold that did come up out of the fire. Yea, and she is the third of this creation, the uniting of two opposing forces, and she is written as one leaning over, arms outstretched to give unto those in need. ¶ And Dalet is in duplication upon the chereb for she is the gate of Bora Olam (בורא עולם Creator of the World); And mankind doth bow in humility unto the Creator (Hebrew אהיה אשר אהיה, Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh) that he (Adam/mankind) might enter into the understanding of Ha’Elohim. And she is the third of the seven in her place upon the thirty-two paths as she is the four worlds mankind doth pass through, one gate at a time, as he (Adam/mankind) walks the paths: For this is the prayer of the Chereb: Blessed art thou, יהוה (YHVH), O Lord our Elohim, who opens the gates of the firmament and giveth light unto the whole earth and its creatures with the multitude of Thy mercies. Yea, and she is the fourth of this creation, the humble man in need of bread; and thus is she drawn as the straight line of the firmament above and the door beneath that doth lead to it. ¶ And Kaf is in duplication upon the chereb for she is the open palm; And with power and authority doth mankind receive from El Roi (אל ראי God Who Sees Me) and he (Adam/mankind) serves all those whom YHVH Elohim bringeth before her. And she is the fourth of the seven in her place upon the thirty-two paths, as she is the covering or protection of YHVH Elohim: For even as Moses did teach us: And they went unto Noah and Na’amah into the ark, two and two of all flesh wherein is the breath of life; and יהוה (YHVH) did cover them up. Yea, and she is the hand of this creation, the hand outstretched ready to receive mercy; and thus is she drawn even as the hand, cupped that he may receive all that the Father hath to give. ¶ And Peh is as a vessel and within her is the divine spark, for she is the mouth open to speak forth the Word of יהוה (YHVH); And with the Word of יהוה (YHVH) doth all things come into being that Adam (mankind) might open their mouth and speak of the good things of YHVH Ameth (יהוה הוא אמת YHVH is Truth). And she is the fifth of the seven in her place upon the thirty-two paths, as she is the tongue that uttereth the mysteries of Elohim Shaddai: For Tzophar did stand before Laadan, speaking for the twelve righteous, saying: Write these sayings upon thy heart, and the words written upon thy tongue shall be pure and holy before יהוה (YHVH). Yea, and she is the mouth of this creation, the expression giving voice to the understanding and insight, and thus is she drawn, as an open mouth giving voice. ¶ And Resh is as the beginning, for in the head is wisdom found; And by bowing in humility unto El Elyon (אל עלְיוֹן The Most High God) is teshuvah found, for all of the words of YHVH are true, and all the Torah of El Olam (אל עוֹלם Everlasting God or Eternal God) is eternal. And she is the sixth of the seven in her place upon the thirty-two paths, as she is awake to the needs and the desires of the flesh, crying for mercy unto Ha’Elohim: For even Asenath, thy mother, did come to desire to know of YHVH in the flesh, And the angel of YHVH did come unto her, giving her the honeycomb to eat and to drink from the cup of immortality. Yea, and she is the head (or face) of this creation, and is drawn as such that mankind might awaken unto teshuvah, for now is the time to prepare to meet יהוה (YHVH). ¶ And Tav is as the seal of the covenant, for in the mark of the covenant is found truth and completion; And by thy faithfulness unto the covenant of יהוה (YHVH) is the thirty-two paths found, for in the covenant of יהוה (YHVH) is the promise found. And she is the seventh of the seven in her place upon the thirty-two paths, for in her is the kingdom of heaven: For in the Holy of Holies is the Ark of the Testimony kept, and within is the Torah found, and the Mercy seat does rest upon her; therefore, the incoming doth express the outgoing. Yea, and she is the beginning and the end, being the completion of this creation, for this creation is the works of YHVH Elohim, and there is no end to His creations; And she is drawn as a seal or a mark that mankind should know that all things created by Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh (אהיה אשר אהיה The Creator) are sealed in יהוה (YHVH) in this creation. ¶ And these are the seven in duplication written upon the Magen Solomon (Hebrew, מגן שלמה, Shield of Peace), which is the Chotham Solomon (Hebrew חותם שלמה, Seal of Wholeness), which is the Mephatch Solomon (Hebrew מפתח שלמה, Key of Prosperity): Kaf, the height of victory; Resh, the vigor to the West; Bet, the knowledge from the South; Tav, the truth found in the center place, even the Holy of Holies within the temples of YHVH; Gimel, the counsel taken from the North; Dalet, the mystery discovered to the East; and Peh, depth of endurance; And these are the movements in balance upon the thrity-two paths of HaShem YHVH (השם יהוה The Name YHVH) which is given him (Adam/mankind) by my brother, Raziel (רזיאל God is my secret) who doth anoint him (Adam/mankind) High Priest and High Priestess, King and queen in Israel when in wisdom they (Adam/mankind) are given the Chereb, even as it was give thee, Zenoch. ¶ But even as they are written upon the sky in peace, wholeness, and prosperity, these are also written in the abyss in their unnatural state. And all they who are brought unto the carnal state are in the gall of bitterness and in the bonds of iniquity, But they who are brought into restoration are returned to their natural state, no longer to stand opposite to their nature, For they do receive their reward in YHVH Elohim, having been taught by these, in repetition. Chapter 27 The Twelve Divisions of the Heavens And it came to pass that the malak of YHVH, Qaphsiel (קפץיאל, God is my hastening), did open his mouth again and he did speak unto me saying: Zenock, son of Zenoch, son of Joseph and of Levi, I shall teach thee now of the symbols that thou did engrave upon that sword which thou did set apart to use in glorifying יהוה (YHVH). And I shall tell thee now of the twelve symbols etched upon the hilt (the space between the handle and the blade); and these are the months, for these twelve symbols are etched upon the night skies: For behold, all things are given in cycles, and degree by degree doth all things ascend unto HaShem YHVH. ¶ And these are the twelve signs, even Hei, Vav, Zayin, Chet, Tet, Yod, Lamed, Nun, Samech, Ayin, Tzaddi, Qof; And Hei is that path of purity of faith, and Vav is that path of sanctification, and Zayin is that path of wisdom, and Chet is that path of divine fire, And Tet is that path of revelation, and Yod is that path of divine order, and Lamed is that path of divine judgement, and Nun is that path of the covenant, And Samech is that path of divine truth, and Ayin is that path of eternal life, and Tzaddi is that path of rebirth, and Qof is that path of service. And these are written upon the night sky, for with these did YHVH Elohim divide up the twelve divisions of the heavens, to tell the months and the years, and to tell the stories and that the seers should see. And in wisdom did Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh (אהיה אשר אהיה The Creator) YHVH Elohim create these, That mankind would learn to know good from evil and evil from good, and good from the good and evil from the evil: For eternal happiness is reserved for the just, and wickedness then cannot be just, for wickedness is an obsession and can then never be happiness, for the unrighteous desire is never fulfilled. But these in the twelve signs is the dragon that biteth his own tail, for in righteousness doth the Son of Man come into this world, to fulfill all righteousness; And even as that great serpent, the leviathan, should swallow up the seas of the abyss, the Son of Man is as a dragon that shall breathe fire to protect the people of the Covenant (Israel), and destroy that serpent in his wrath. ¶ And Hei, she is written upon the stars as a man with his arms outstretched, to behold that which Bora Olam (בורא עולם Creator of the World) has made, with hands open to receive of the Breath, Ruach Hakodesh. She is seen as the straight path with three steps, for Moses did say: Let they who are born in that first month be honest, and of great sympathy, giving generously unto all they who are in need of succor in HaShem (The Name) יהוה (YHVH). And let mankind see the revelation of יהוה (YHVH) in knowledge and wisdom, that they may know how to succor those in need, even as YHVH Raphacha (יהוה רפאך YHVH Heals/Restores) seeth their needs; For in Hei is the Shekinah, both the Presence of Elohim in the Heavens and the Breath of Elohim upon the earth found, for in Her is the revelation found. And she is drawn as a leaning man, seeking to behold the revelation from the breath of YHVH, connecting mankind to the Creator in humility. ¶ And Vav, she is written upon the stars as the straight path and the hook, to unify that which Yachad Yachid Echad (יחיד יחיד אחד, the Unifier set apart to unite us all) hath named Israel, connecting the heavens and the earth. She is seen as the straight path with a single step, and it is even as Moses did say: Let they who are born in that second month live a life that is average, full of passion with bountiful grace within them. Yea, and she is the nail that ties the heavens to the earth, that connects mankind and Ha’Elohim, for she is wholeness and completeness and shall pierce the Son of Man that the restoration might come. For the nail must pierce Him that He be lifted up, for Kodesh Israel (קדוש ישראל Holy One of Israel) is the bridge between the four worlds of Elohim Chaiyim (אלהים חיים the living God), the Word between thought and action, even the ladder. And she is drawn as that path from the earth to the heavens, which is that path from the heavens to the earth, as a bridge between mankind and the Creator. ¶ And Zayin, she is written upon the stars as a man tilling the earth, he diggeth the hole to planteth the seed that he and his family might eat of the bread of life that sprouteth from wisdom. And she is seen as the hilt of a sword to some, and the mattock (hand plow) to others, for it is even as Moses did say: They who are born in that third month, let thy generosity never waver. For in wisdom doth mankind be as one with one another and with the earth, for when the earth is one, then the heavens and the earth will again be one, thus fulfilling their creation. And let the labor of mankind be that of life, for this is wisdom: death is but a shadow defeated even as the darkness of night is defeated in the morn at the rising of the sun. And she is drawn as a straight path with a beginning and an ending, which is the life of mankind, from that first breath of life that brings life in, until that last breath that exhales life from the body, and the light returns from whence it was sent out. ¶ And Chet, she is written upon the stars as sukkot, the veil of the tent that separates the upper world and the lower world, that mankind might first be made ready before lifting the veil. And she is seen as sukkot (the tent flap), for it is even as Moses did say: let they who are born in that fourth month, let them be noble, taking the path forward when others are fearful; And thus did Moses teach that when every child is eight days old, they shall be blessed and instructed in teshuvah, that they may be circumcised of the heart when they come of age. It is on the eighth day of creation that the soul is born, being now the first day of the creation of the neshamah, the light being divided from the darkness, a doorway opening in the kelim (vessels) of the heart. And in the circumcision of the heart, the qliphoth (husk) is removed, that Ha’Or En Sof (the everlasting light or the light of Christ) might shine forth to heal this creation, uniting the upper world of the heavens and the lower world of the earth. And she is drawn as the Holy of Holies of the heavens and the Holy of Holies of the earth separated by the veil, a protection for the earth until she is ready for her marriage covenant. ¶ And Tet, she is written upon the stars as the kli (vessel) that holds the light of En Sof (Ha’Or En Sof, the everlasting light or the light of Christ) that gives unto mankind the desires of their hearts, And when she is clean, the light may shine forth to heal this creation, but when her kilem be filthy, then so too are the works of mankind an abomination before YHVH Elohim, for יהוה (YHVH) is Ha’Yohtzar Ha’Or (היצר האור He Who did Fashion/Create the Light). For it is even as Moses did say: let they who are born in that fifth month, rejoice in their stillness, that they be always well informed; For thy father Joseph and thy mother Asenath did see that Yachad Yachid Echad carries with Him the breath of life, giving this light unto all they who should partake. And the righteous desires of mankind doth hide away in the pride of they who loveth not YHVH their Elohim, but when that light will shine forth, all things of יהוה (YHVH) shall be restored. And she is drawn as a vessel of clay or wickerwork, and at the crossroads is the path of life discovered, whether mankind shall choose the light or choose the darkness, as it has been divided within them. ¶ And Yod, she is written upon the stars as the right hand of יהוה (YHVH), for by the right hand are all the works of YHVH Elohim performed, for in the right hand is the power and authority of Ahman Ha’Olam (אמון העולם Master Architect of the World) given. And by the outstretched right hand did Moses do the works of יהוה (YHVH), for it is even as Moses did say: Let they who are born in that sixth month be known for their generosity, and their willingness to give of themselves. For the Voice did speak unto Moses, saying: Place thy rod in thy right hand, for it is holy unto יהוה (YHVH), And by the Word of the Creator did the creation begin, and by the Yod was the works of the creation completed by Ha’Elohim, for from Yah (יה) did come the emanations (the Sefirot). And by faith are all things accomplished, for without faith mankind can do nothing, but by faith and desires that shine forth from a clean kli (vessel), all that mankind will ask for in HaShem YHVH (השם יהוה The Name YHVH) shall be given them. And she is drawn as a mighty right hand and an outstretched arm, even as YHVH Elohim did bring thy fathers and thy mothers out of Egypt and the bondage of sin and death; therefore, forget not what YHVH Elohim has done. ¶ And Lamed, she is written upon the stars as the staff of the shepherd, to teach Israel of all the things of Oseh Shalom (עשה שלום Maker of Peace), as mankind descends and ascends the ladder, walking the thirty-two paths. True learning comes from the heart, for in the heart are the kilem (vessels) that hold Ha’Or En Sof, for it is even as Moses did say: Let they who are born in that seventh month find strength always in wisdom, and not in lofty dreams of foolishness. Even as Moses said: YHVH chose Israel above all other people; therefore, circumcise the foreskin of thine heart, be ye no more stiff-necked; Wherefore, let thy heart be thy guide as thou movest by the very Breath of Ha’Elohim, walk the pathways straight, and in healing; For to learn of Ha’Yohtzar Ha’Or (היצר האור He Who did Fashion/Create the Light) is to love the Bora Olam (בורא עולם Creator of the World), and YHVH El Racham (יהוה אל רחוּם YHVH God of Loving-kindness) is the name (HaShem) of Him. And she is drawn even as she is seen in the stars, as the staff of Moses who did lead Israel out of Egypt and gave her the Torah that they should see the face of YHVH and live. ¶ And Nun, she is written upon the stars as the man bowing in submission to YHVH Yir’eh (יהוה יראה YHVH will provide) in righteousness, for these are the joint heirs in righteousness. And the righteous man shall work as thy father, Jacob did to earn the hand of his bride, For it is even as Moses did say: Let they who are born in that eighth month keep their honor, their integrity, and their valor that they be free from back-biting and scandal. For the stars that form her may be seen as a snake that would strike, or as a fish that would feed, or as a seed that doth grow up from the soil, even as they that are born in this month might be. Therefore, she is drawn in humble potential for redemption that she may be brought up in the ways of the Oseh Shalom (עשה שלום //Maker of Peace). ¶ And Samech, she is written upon the stars as a thorny bush, for the birds and the lesser animals do hide in her for protection. And it is even as Moses did say: Let they who are born in that ninth month ever seek to know יהוה (YHVH), by deep thoughts, and by helping hands. Hidden within the depths of the burning bush that Moses did see is all life eternal and everlasting; Likewise, hidden within the thorny bush upon the earth is all manner of life hidden and kept safe with life ascending and descending that tree. And she is drawn as the ladder that mankind might descend and ascend upon the thirty-two paths of Ahman Ha’Olam (אמון העולם Master Architect of the World). ¶ And Ayin, she is written upon the stars as a horn that all they who seek righteousness might drink from the cup of YHVH Tzidqenu (יהוה צדקנוּ YHVH Our Righteousness), And blow the shofar of YHVH Adoni Ha’Shaboth (יהוה אדוֹן השבת YHVH Lord of the Sabbath) and see the truth of YHVH Ameth (יהוה הוא אמת YHVH is Truth). And the righteous will see the works of יהוה (YHVH), for it is even as Moses did say: Let they who are born in that tenth month ever move forward in יהוה (YHVH), with a never-ending thirst for righteousness. To see יהוה (YHVH) face to face is to know the will of Ve’Daiyan Israel (ודין ישראל Protector/Judge of Israel), the very eye of Ha’Elohim. And she is drawn as the eternal eye, Ha’Or En Sof that doth see all in knowledge (Da’at) and in wisdom (Chokhmah). ¶ And Tzaddi, she is written upon the stars as the fishhook that doth draw one in, leading to action. And the Torah doth draweth Israel in, for it is even as Moses did say: Let they who are born in that eleventh month have keen vision in planning, with a calm presence; yet they be passionate of spirit that the ways of יהוה (YHVH) be made clear. There being opposition in all things, mankind may be drawn in by the ways of Seth or by the ways of Cain, for there is a path of light and there is a path of darkness, And in that path of light there is life and love, but in that path of darkness there is death and Sheol (death), misery and woe. And even as YHVH Yir’eh (הארי הוהי YHVH will provide) doth cast in his line to find those swimming, lost in that darkness with the light and love of Ha’Or En Sof, So too doth that Adversary cast his hook into the light that he might trap those in it down into woe and darkness. And she is drawn as the fishhook, or as the taches, that mankind might be caught up into the righteousness of Ha’Rachaman (ןמחרה the Merciful One). ¶ And Qof, she is written upon the stars as the sun in the horizon, for it riseth upon the just and the unjust alike. And just as the darkness will always break with the dawn, YHVH Raphacha (ךאפר הוהי YHVH Heals/Restores) will always rise to save Israel, when she doth humble herself before יהוה (YHVH); For it is even as Moses did say: Let they who are born in that twelfth month, these being inspired by the creation of יהוה (YHVH), let them be swift in renewal; And it is even as Moses did say: Let they who are born in that thirteenth month be the peacemakers and they who may be given the blessings to unite the people in the name of יהוה (YHVH) Elohim. Let these be encircled in holiness, in the new beginnings, in the restoration of all things; for all things must have a beginning and an end, for the creation is as such. And she is drawn as the needle, for the ending of the year is the beginning anew, and the circle of the Creator that never begins and never ends is one eternal round. ¶ And these are written in the stars from the fourth day of the creation until the end thereof. Chapter 28 Every Generation And so it was that Qaphsiel (קפץיאל, God is my hastening) did make an end of his speaking unto me; And I did marvel for the breath of it, for it was beyond all that I had known. ¶ And it came to pass that seeing me thus, Qaphsiel did open his mouth again unto me, saying: Marvel not that I tell you these things, For it is not of mankind to have a perfect knowledge of all things, yet all things are given unto mankind that they might gain a portion of them. As these signs and wonders travel through the night sky, pray ye that every generation should receive her portion of the Torah that YHVH Ameth (תמא אוה הוהי YHVH is Truth) should give unto them. And thou, Zenock, hath received of them, for thou hath been given the Chereb that these things should be written that the world might know them. And though many generations should ignore them, and hide them up, they shall not be hidden away for all time; But in the last days, the words that thou shalt write shall be given unto mankind again, That the promises of YHVH Raphacha (ךאפר הוהי YHVH Heals/Restores) should be kept in the fullness of times. And so it was that I did write all that was given me, trusting that it was even for a mighty purpose in יהוה (YHVH). Chapter 29 In the Beginning And it came to pass that I was left a lone man in that cave for some time, and there I did pore over these writings as I continued to ponder and pray; For I was willing to walk forth and get myself up out of this cave, but I knew not where to go, nor if there was more that YHVH Yir’eh (יהוה יראה YHVH will provide) should desire me to write, or what I should do with these writings. And it came to pass that one morning, as I had finished breaking my fast, a malak of יהוה (YHVH), did stand before me, and he did open his mouth, and he did speak unto me saying: Zenock, son of Zenoch, son of Joseph and of Levi, I shall teach thee of the mysteries of the Torah of יהוה (YHVH), given thee out of the mouth of Moses, friend of יהוה (YHVH); Doth thou know the Torah of Moses? ¶ And I did open my mouth to answer him, saying: Yea, but this Torah was given unto me mouth to ear from my youth, and I do recite it every day that I should remember it. ¶ And the angel did speak again, saying: Doth thou understand: In the Beginning? And I did speak unto the angel, saying: Yea, in the beginning YHVH did create, by HaShem, HaElohim, and the Heavens, and the Earth; and this YHVH did in both knowledge and wisdom. ¶ And the angel did speak unto me again, asking me: And what of Ha’Elohim? ¶ And I did open my mouth again, and I did speak, saying: In the earth it is understood that Ha’Elohim are the gods of all the lands, and unto YHVH was given the lands of Israel as His portion, but this is not so: For all the earth is his footstool, and the gods of men did come, being created by mankind; and these did take unto themselves a portion of that which belongeth unto יהוה (YHVH), For יהוה (YHVH) did create the earth to be one, a mirror of the heavens, not to be carved up and carried away unto the pride and greed of mankind. For when mankind is one, there is more than enough to sustain all life in abundance, but it is the greed of man that creates poverty and cruelty, robbing the earth of justice and mercy. ¶ And the angel did speak again, saying: It is good and correct, all that thou hath said. And I shall tell thee more, and thou shall write it, for I am Tzaphkiel (צפקיאל, Beholder of God), and I shall share with you a mystery. Yah did love Yachid, and together in their oneness, the Ruach HaKodesh (רוח הקודש the Holy Spirit) was present; and this is oneness יהוה (YHVH). And in Yah, יהוה (YHVH) did create Ha’Elohim (האלהים), and in this Elohim (אלהים) did shape and dispatch (ברא, create) Ha’Elohim (האלהים); For all things that exist, even יהוה (YHVH), are intelligent, and יהוה (YHVH) is the greatest intelligence: And YHVH is one from everlasting to everlasting; yea, never was there a time when יהוה (YHVH) was not Elohim. Yea, never was there a time when יהוה (YHVH) was created, for יהוה (YHVH) is I AM, the Creator, and יהוה (YHVH) is United, יהוה (YHVH) is One, יהוה (YHVH) is Unity. This eternal light, Ha’Or En Sof, is of Yah (יה), and through the Hei (ה) it is given, begotten through the Yachid, into this creation. This is the light and the life of this world; if it were not so, nothing would be, or in other words, without this light, everything would cease to be: And all that could be would be the great sea of waters, or the sea of intelligences, resting in The Presence of the Waters (פני המים Panie HaMayim, or The Face of the Waters), For intelligences (from לב, the heart, the true self) are eternal and cannot be changed or destroyed from everlasting to everlasting, only added upon, which is the creation. ¶ And this light, Ha’Or En Sof, comes down as the emanation of YHVH Elohim, and this is Ha’Elohim who did create all things here upon this earth in this creation in HaShem YHVH; Therefore, mankind was created in the image of Elohim, being made to pass the light of the creation through the thirty-two paths to finish this creation. ¶ But יהוה (YHVH) did allow mankind to keep their agency, and this that mankind might be made from incorruptible to corruptible, and the thirty-two paths became unclean. This is what is meant when Moses taught Israel that thistles and thorns should sprout up and that Adam should eat bread by the sweat of his brow; For these vessels (kelim) that hold the light on the thirty-two paths became dark and must be cleaned. ¶ And this is what is meant to walk the thirty-two paths, to keep each vessel (kli) clean upon the path to allow that light to shine forth and heal this creation. And these emanations come from the love of God and are seen in the love of mankind for YHVH as mankind cares for this creation. Chapter 30 Every Generation And it came to pass that as I did ponder these words, another malak of יהוה (YHVH), Raziel (רזיאל God is my secret) who is Raphael (רְפאל healing of God), did stand before me, and he did open his mouth, and he did speak unto me saying: ¶ They who are holy and pure, unto these shall Ahman Ha’Olam (אמון העולם Master Architect of the World) share His secret Wisdom, which is to say that only these shall be received into the Presence (Shekinah) of יהוה (YHVH). Only in the revelation of the Knowledge of Abba Ha’Briy’ah (אבי הבריאה Father of Creation) and the Wisdom of Shekinah can one receive the Mercy of Shalom YHVH (שלום יהוה Peace of YHVH) and the Strength of Ve’Daiyan Israel (ודין ישראל Protector/Judge of Israel) and bear it. And unto these are seals opened and the mysteries of Ha’ Kodesh Israel (קדוש ישראל the Holy One of Israel) given in Peace and Understanding. ¶ All they who learn the names of יהוה (YHVH), to know and to understand them, shall know HaShem YHVH (השם יהוה The Name YHVH); Therefore, learn the names, to know them in Wisdom that you would be humble and cry with joy as you receive them. ¶ All they who come to Ha’Rachaman (הרחמן the Merciful One) with a broken heart and a contrite spirit, these are the pure in heart, and they shall see Ha’Shalom YHVH (שלום יהוה the Peace of YHVH) and stand in the Presence. ¶ And behold, this is what it means to be pure of heart, and to heal the heart, for YHVH Raphacha (יהוה רפאך YHVH Heals/Restores) is the Elohim of Healing. And the mercy of YHVH Tzidqenu (יהוה צדקנוּ YHVH Our Righteousness) runs deeper than the deepest well, and from Shalom YHVH (שלום יהוה Peace of YHVH) cometh the living waters. ¶ And the light of Elohim Shaddai (אלוֹה שדי Almighty God/gods) is even brighter than the brightest star, giving grace that those who are lost should find their way in the darkness, and wise are they who shall follow that star until they should find Him. Wherefore, gird up thy strength in HaShem YHVH (השם יהוה The Name YHVH), that the power of YHVH Yir’eh (יהוה יראה YHVH will provide) be established forever, Passed down unto thee from generation to generation, that thy posterity should rejoice in their unfolding from generation to generation. ¶ And these words of the Torah given thee of Moses are even as letters carved into gold, coming forth out of that fountain of the revelation of knowledge and wisdom in their purity. Yet what of the High Priestess and Prophetess Zipporah? Wife of Moses, the friend of Bora Olam (בורא עולם Creator of the World)? Yet her name shall be but a hiss and a byword, unsung and forgotten by the time the earth will ripen and be ready for the harvest. ¶ And then I stood and marveled at all I had been told, and in my heart, I wondered with great desire to know. ¶ And the malak of יהוה (YHVH), Raziel (רזיאל God is my secret) did hear the words of my heart, and he did open his mouth, and he did speak unto me saying: Open thy mouth, Zenock, son of Zenoch, son of Levi and of Joseph, and speak the mysteries of YHVH Ameth (יהוה הוא אמת YHVH is Truth). ¶ And it came to pass that I did open up my mouth to speak, yet though it was my tongue, they were not my words, but The Voice (הקוֹל HaKol a name for the Holy Spirit) did speak through me, saying: In the last days, HaMashiach will set Himself again the second time to recover his people; Wherefore, He will manifest Himself unto them in power and great glory, unto the destruction of their enemies, when that day cometh when they shall believe in Him. ¶ And none will He destroy who doth believe in him, but they who believe him not shall be destroyed, both by fire, and by tempest, and by earthquakes, and by bloodsheds, and by pestilence, and by famine. And these shall know that יהוה (YHVH) is En Sof (אין סוֹף Never Ending), Ha’Kodesh Israel (קדוש ישראל the Holy One of Israel). ¶ And so it shall be that in the reign of Zimriy shall my soul be returned unto Abba Ha’Briy’ah (אבי הבריאה Father of Creation), and eight hundred and eighty years from the day of my death, in that year shall HaMashiach be born. And His name shall be called Sar’Shalom (שרשָלוֹם Minister or Prince of Peace), Yhoshoa (Yeshua), and they who learn of him shall call Him Adoni and Rabbi, or Master. ¶ And even as Moses did lead Israel out of Egypt, HaMashiach shall lead Egypt out of the bondage of sin; And though their trials shall be great, these shall not be the last days, for there will be more yet to come; And in the fullness of times shall the Word of Shalom YHVH (שלום יהוה Peace of YHVH) be sent forth unto all they who would receive of it, ¶ And they who listen and give unto Ha’Rachaman (הרחמן the Merciful One) their broken heart and contrite spirit, these shall receive all understanding of YHVH Adoni Ha’Shaboth (יהוה אדוֹן השבת YHVH, Lord of the Sabbath). But they who will hear the Word, and know it to be true by the whisperings of Ruach HaKodesh (רוח הקודש the Holy Spirit), but should spit it out, cast it aside, and fight against the prophets and prophetesses of El Roi (אל ראי God Who Sees), woe be it unto them! They who would close their eyes, and reject the prophets and the prophetesses of יהוה (YHVH), you may try to cover your iniquities, but El Roi (אל ראי God Who Sees) doth know them. But if thou should at any time, in any moment, turn back in teshuvah from thy sins, Oseh Shalom (עשה שלום Maker of Peace) shall take thee in, and protect thee, and Shekinah shall give thee rest in Her bosom: Amen. ¶ And it came to pass that after this, I fell to the earth and rested for a time, filled with the Ruach HaKodesh (רוח הקודש the Holy Spirit), and the malakim did stay there with me for a time. Chapter 31 To Know and to Do And it came to pass that after this, Raziel (רזיאל God is my secret) did open his mouth again, and he did speak unto me saying: The words that thou hast uttered did come up, bubbling forth from that fountain of all knowledge and wisdom, and thou did live through it because of the mercy and strength of thy faith in Tzur Israel (צוּר ישראל Rock of Israel). Thy words were more precious than pearls, for they did speak of the glory and righteousness of YHVH Tzidqenu (יהוה צדקנוּ YHVH Our Righteousness). Mankind cannot measure the cost of the secrets thou writest, for they are the very words of life, and what is of greater worth than a life? ¶ All truth comes from Ha’Elohim, as given them by Ha’Yohtzar Ha’Or (היצר האור He Who did Fashion/Create the Light). The wise seek this light, Ha’Or En Sof (the light of Christ), it is as a fire that burns from within, to purify mankind, and through them all of creation, if it were not so, all would be in vain. And this light, Ha’Or En Sof, comes from the fruit of that very tree of life, and mankind is given a taste as they become worthy; But be aware, for with life cometh death, and with eternal life the eternal death and the chains of Sheol. By the thunderous awe and wonder (fear) of YHVH Ameth (יהוה הוא אמת YHVH is Truth) is life obtained, is glory obtained, is in the throne of the Oseh Shalom (עשה שלום Maker of Peace) established upon the earth even as it is in the Heavens. ¶ Salvation is the warning of death, but not the fear of it; the understanding of life is obtained by the revelation of knowledge and wisdom; The Power of Ha’Rachaman (הרחמן the Merciful One) is given to mankind by the thunderous awe and wonder (fear) of YHVH El Racham (יהוה אל רחוּם YHVH God of Loving-kindness), The fire of the glory of El Elyon (אל עלְיוֹן The Most High God) is the strength of Ben Enosh (בן־אנוש Son of Man), by learning in wisdom and in knowledge is the mercy found as the archers are seen in the clouds. This life given unto mankind is not given to dig the hole of death, but to plant the seed in righteousness that Eden might be born anew, and that life shall be found in the garden once more. ¶ YHVH Tzidqenu (יהוה צדקנוּ YHVH Our Righteousness) fills the Earth with glory, even as in Heaven, will you see it? Ahman Ha’Olam (אמון העולם Master Architect of the World) has set five of the seven pillars, and thou, Zenock, art alive in the fifth pillar. Seven pillars shall rise as fountains, and shall fall to the honor of the ministers and the multitudes, and why? Because the fire that burns eternal cannot burn for any man, but for the Son of Man alone. ¶ And when the ministers and the multitudes in their thousands place themselves as logs upon the fire, it shall be extinguished, for their passions burn in vain. It is YHVH Yir’eh (יהוה יראה YHVH will provide), HaShem YHVH (השם יהוה The Name YHVH) alone that can atone for mankind, For there is but one HaMashiach, one Christ, one begotten, one set apart, and one Ha’Rachaman (הרחמן the Merciful One) that shall bring life to the deserts. And when the ministers and the multitudes attempt to take upon themselves this power and this glory, they do dig a pit unto themselves, for none can stoke the flames of eternal life but El Olam (אל עוֹלם Everlasting God or Eternal God). ¶ And the glory of the throne of Abba Ha’Briy’ah (אבי הבריאה Father of Creation) is like unto the quartz of the urim, and the archers in the clouds stand to watch over this creation, But mankind seeth them not, for they are blind to the truth of YHVH Ameth (יהוה הוא אמת YHVH is Truth). ¶ Yea, and mankind doth cover their eyes in fear of truth of death and of Sheol, And Ha’Yohtzar Ha’Or (היצר האור He Who did Fashion/Create the Light) doth protect them by placing a mist (or veil) all around them, that they should be blind until they are willing to see truth; For that light is ever present, but they see it not, for their eyes are closed and the hidden light is seen only by they who do look for it, that they not be swayed, and unto these is nothing hidden up. ¶ And those without the light, when they attempt to do the works of righteousness even as they who do stand in the light, they do the works, but their results are not profitable; And this because the deepest secrets are hidden from them by the veil of mist that hides the light from their eyes that they see it not. The revelations of knowledge and wisdom are only made clear by they who do stand in that light and are not obscured by the darkness of their pride. ¶ And know this: there is nothing in this world that is not comprehensible, for YHVH Raphacha (יהוה רפאך YHVH Heals/Restores) comprehendeth all things. All of the works and all of the desires of mankind are known unto HaShem Gevurah (גבוּרה The Name Strength/Justice); Therefore, all that can be known is known, and all works that are made, their motivation too is known by Elohim Chaiyim (אלהים חיים the living God). Wherefore, Zenock, not only shall thou do, but thou should know to do also, and in this thou art known by what thy works are and by what they should be. Chapter 32 Adam And now, I shall tell thee of what was before the beginning, for before the beginning was Ahman Ha’Olam (אמון העולם Master Architect of the World). Ha’Elohim did gather before the throne of Yah, and of יהוה (YHVH), and there Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh (אהיה אשר אהיה The Creator) did say: Who shall I send first? ¶ And the one who was like God, even Michael, said: Send me. ¶ And the Ego said, Send me! ¶ And Oseh Shalom (עשה שלום Maker of Peace) sent the first, and he did become Adam, and his wife, Eve; and these are the life of mankind. But the second was angry and was cast out; therefore, the Ego became the adversary of mankind, seeking only to take for himself. ¶ And this is life and death, life to give and death to take, for in Adam doth mankind find life, in and through that life the light of Ha’Yohtzar Ha’Or (היצר האור He Who did Fashion/Create the Light). And as Adam and Eve did read from the book that I did speak unto them, they did learn from the letters and from the words, and thus did they know what was true from what was false by the spirit of it. And this knowledge and this wisdom did come unto them from the revelation of the Ha’Or En Sof, by which mankind might discern good from evil, and this because they did partake of the fruit of that tree. And in holiness, Adam and Eve did perform the rituals and the ordinances that all mankind might know Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh (אהיה אשר אהיה The Creator). ¶ And they did write the words of the book upon a stone of sapphire, and the Torah of יהוה (YHVH) given unto Adam and Eve is even this: Thou shalt circumcise thy heart; do this that thou might live the Torah and know יהוה (YHVH). ¶ And unto this Torah there are three degrees: the reverence of fear (or awe) is the first degree, the reverence of petition is the second degree, and the reverence of love is the third degree. And the first degree is the fear of judgment, and the second degree is the mitzvoth, the duty of mankind, and the third degree is the birth of the soul, the return to truth (one’s true self). And the three degrees are but one degree, for in the first degree is the soul born, and in the third degree the judgement lifted, thus it is to have one degree is to have all three degrees. And at the first mankind obeys out of fear, and then desiring reward; but in the end, as moved by the Breath (Ruach HaKodesh רוח הקודש the Holy Spirit), and in this doth mankind grow in the grace of the mercy of יהוה (YHVH). And in the first degree, the mist is lifted; and in the second degree, the hidden light is seen; and in the third degree, the deepest of the mysteries (secrets) of YHVH Ameth (יהוה הוא אמת YHVH is Truth) are revealed (or opened). ¶ Written upon each Torah are the seventy-two names of יהוה (YHVH). More to be translated from the plates of brass as the work of the Lord moves forward… ... More to be translated from the plates of brass as the work of the Lord moves forward…
