The Third Tablet The Little Book of Seers Preface The Little Book of Seers is the oldest record Vovfen and Emalō abridged. Likewise, this record was recorded in an entirely different part of the world and under a people who's culture and cosmology would have been similar but distinctly different to the Aiyanthi. They are the ancestors of the Aiyanthi, and the name of the tribe comes from the people who recorded this record in the first place; they called themselves Ehyanthi, I believe, or something similar. The names in this Book are transliterated into the way that the Aiyanthi of eastern Europe would have spelled them. I considered transliterating them into the most correct version of these names, however, I opted to keep them in the Aiyanthi style for simplicities sake. The Larger Book of Seers, another record kept by this people is currently in the translation process and will have the names transliterated as they are meant to be. Aiy. Chapter 1 The call to repentance from Isaiah the prophet to the Aiyanthi; around 700 BC. I am Emalō, wife of Vovfen, and I write again that I may abridge this Little Book of Seers, which we have deemed fit to include in this short history. For it was that there came a prophet unto us whose name was Aiysaiyah. And this prophet was a great leader of the Yahūdi to the south. Now, he gave us these teachings, for our ancestors at this time were not wicked, but neither were they righteous. Now, this Aiysaiyah desired to prepare the way that Yōhannaz may at some future day arrive unto us in peace. And he was given this task by Thūnoraz Aiyseir. And he did that which he was commanded. Therefore, he came and taught this people, and they received many good and righteous teachings from him, insomuch that many of them turned back unto righteousness, forsaking their paths of idolatry. Therefore, this record is a record of his teachings and the teachings of the other seers who were with him. It is, down from where I come, oh you people, that Yeshuah Mashiach has set his hand forth to prophesy against those people of the south, for they have come up in exceedingly sore wickedness and perversion insomuch that they have turned entirely away from his precepts and the precepts of YHVH Elohim which are that man might be free to choose as he wishes. For it is where I come that the priest which are of the lineage of Aharon come up in pride against their neighbors and they smite on their cheeks any who seek the face of YHVH and in so doing, they have damned themselves unto Sheol. Oh, wicked priests of Ba'al who sell themselves for that which will canker! They have usurped the ways of Yah Elohim and have cursed themselves for their greed. Shall you do this yourselves, children of Shem? See to it that you do not, for in the day that you do, you shall be swept off from the face of the earth as will happen with the generations of the children of Yisra'el, for they are wicked exceeding wickedness, and I know, oh people of Shem that their wickedness shall wax greater still, and that in that day, YHVH Elohim shall be through with them and their wicked ways and he shall cause your people and the people of the north parts to come up against them! And this I have proclaimed unto them in their streets and in their synagogues, and for this they have cast me out as a vagabond. Oh, wicked people of the south, they sell themselves for jewels and clothing and fine paints, and they have corrupted the Ways of YHVH Elohim. Shall you be like unto them, oh people of Shem? Do not, I warn, for you shall surely perish. It is for this reason that YHVH Elohim causes me to come up against you and your wickedness. For he knows your hearts and sees that you still have the desires of your ancestor Shem inside of you. Wake up, oh you people, and come unto that tree which you have named Ash! For this tree is a tree like no other and it shall give you life everlasting. Be not a wicked and shameful people like the people of the south, for it has ever been their lot to spit upon the things of righteousness. For it was in the days of our father Moshe who was also in the days of your father Elohizar! That he went and freed the children of Yacov from their imprisonment. And this did YHVH Elohim that they might be free to choose righteousness. But in the moment that they were set free they turned unto paths of wickedness. They began worshiping the idol of YHVH and cast him in their image. And in so doing they caused a great wickedness to fall upon them. For in that very day, YHVH Elohim caused a great dearth to come over them and hard labors were they made to carry, it is true, for they were caused to bear the weight of the Torah of Moshe which in this very day they still do follow. And this is a hard law, oh people of Shem, for it is sent by Elohim to humble them and make them submissive before the coming of the great YHVH, that great Redeemer who shall come. Yet in this very thing, they have once more come up in the pride of their hearts! For they have received a hard and loathsome burden to carry which are the Torah of Moshe, but in so doing they have taken this taskmaster law and have come up in exceedingly great pride, for they claim that YHVH Elohim has given them these laws to be set apart from the world, for the remainder of the world is wickedness and dross to them. Do you believe this thing to be true, oh seed of Shem? Is your father not Elohizar, that great seer who brought your people unto the lands of our forefather Noah? You know that he is. And did this Elohizar in his day needs create a law to humble and submissify his people? I also say that he did not, for you do not follow the Torah of Moshe, for you are not Yisra'el. Nevertheless, you are no less covenant righteousness, for you have YHVH Elohim to be your leader and your foreword. And in so doing, you have become a righteous sect. Nevertheless, you must repent, for though, you do not follow the Torah of Moshe, yet you have still come up in the pride of your hearts, for you see the children of Yisra'el that they are wicked and that they are bound by hard laws and you mock them and say that you are glad that you are not as they are. Oh, you fools. I say unto you the same thing I say unto them. Be not wicked. Forsake your pride. You are no better than they, and if you come up in pride as they have, then YHVH Elohim has caused that I shall bind you under laws as they are bound under laws. And this I will do that you may be humbled. You are not more righteous than they simply for the fact that your ancestors needed not Torah of Moshe to govern them. Nevertheless, if you continue to come up in pride, I have been given authority to bind you under the same laws which they now face. And you shall hiss at me and gnash your teeth, nevertheless you shall be bound by these laws, which laws require strict sacrifice unto the Elohim. And that sacrifice is the firstborn of the flock. For now you give only of a broken heart and a contrite spirit. And this is the fullness, for a man needs no else to come unto his creator. Nevertheless, shall I bind you, you shall be as they and must needs sacrifice of your living wage and sacrifice of your time and your generations shall mourn because of your wickedness. Nevertheless, I say that if you lower yourselves into the depths of humility and indeed sacrifice with that broken heart and contrite spirit, you will not need suffer these burdensome laws which the children of Yisra'el now face. And in this, your children shall rejoice, for you shall be led unto lands of exceeding righteousness, and you shall be made kings and queens unto YHVH Elohim. For you shall not be burdened by these laws and shall be free to choose for yourselves. And if you come down into great humility and repentance, you shall find that your ancestors do walk and talk with you and that they will teach you. For as of now, you speak with demons and consort with vagabonds. But when you do this, you will talk again with your ancestors and with your Elohim, which is YHVH Elohim. And when you do this, you will again be led unto righteousness everlasting. And these pastures of righteousness shall give you manna which you shall subsist off of. For you will be like unto the children of Yisra'el in that YHVH Elohim shall bless you in the daily, and he will cause that miracles shall not cease from among you, and that you will be a blessed and a happy people like unto your ancestors. Look unto the people of Elohizar, oh, you children of Shem. Were they not stood upright in all things? They were. For they needed not any sort of humbling but were sufficiently humbled. For the wicked part of your people caused a sore vexing to come upon them. And this was grievous to them for a time. Nevertheless, Elohizar delivered them from bondage and came and set them free from their captivity, and he led them into the wilderness where they began to seek the face of their creator, and in so doing, all, yes, every single one of them became prophets and seers unto YHVH Elohim. And when they arrived in their land, which they called Promise, they rejoiced greatly, for they had come down in great humility unto the words of YHVH Elohim and they were all the better for it. Therefore, I say unto you, oh people of Shem that you be like unto your ancestors of old. For they needed not any humbling but allowed that YHVH Elohim be their leader and their guide. And in this Elohizar, that great seer gave them not burdensome laws, for they needed none. All that need was required for them was a pure and a contrite heart, for they loved their Elohim and sought to follow his precepts until the very end. Thus, I say unto you, oh people of Shem. Awake and arise. Seek the face of YHVH Elohim that you might be like unto them. And in the very day that you do, you will begin to see as you once did, and you will not be blind in your minds as are the children of Yisra'el, and none will come up against you in war, for you shall have all things in common and therefore, have nothing of value to offer an aggressor. Therefore, I cry unto you, oh people of Shem, that you see to do this thing, for in the very day that you do, you shall surely be led in all righteousness forever, and you will receive unto you the blessings of your ancestors. Thus, it is that I am come against you to prophecy this thing, that you come away from your wickedness and seek the things of righteousness. Therefore, I cry unto you to repent, for thus is my call. Now, it is recorded that these were the words which Aiysaiyah said when he had come from the lands to the south. And we know that he went about preaching much righteousness among the people insomuch that nearly all of them became righteous like unto their ancestors. And thus it was that when this mighty change had occurred among the people of Elōhizar that this Aiysaiyah was given the key to open up the many record chambers which had been hidden from the people. And there came a one from among the people whose name was Eliāzar. And he was a descendant of that Elōhizar of whom has been spoken. And he came forth from among the people to teach them the things of his fathers, for he alone had the sacred language which allowed him to read these texts. And thus, he and this Aiysaiyah went about teaching the people of all the things within the texts found in the record vault. Now, it was that Aiysaiyah dwelt with us for the space of sixteen moons, and in that time, taught us many things. And under his guidance, the people of Elōhizar became righteous and delightsome like unto their fathers. And this pleased Aiysaiyah well, for his people were indeed stiff-necked and heart-hearted insomuch that they hardly listened unto his words, and he was indeed a prophet of Aiy. Nevertheless, the children of Svemaz listened, for they were not hard of heart, and they began going again up in the Ways of Righteousness, so Sydeir was called by Aiysaiyah. Now, we do not know of all the works of Aiysaiyah among the people of the north, for when he had left our habitation, he took his ministrings among the people farther north, and we know not where he had any success among those people as he did with ours. However, we count his guidance as a great blessing, for, from him and his teachings sprung many prophets and seers among our people, and we make record of them and their doings, for thus is the remainder of the Book of Seers. Chapter 2 The doings of Aiyalfen the prophet wherein he reordered the lands and the temple of Elōhizar; around 700 BC. For we know also that that Eliāzar traveled with Aiysaiyah for a time, and he kept a record in this book which I will not write here, for it is also recorded in the Larger Book of Seers, yet to a more detailed degree. Therefore, as your mother, I give command that you, my seed, translate the Larger Book of Seers in its entirety that you may have the complete record of Eliāzar's works among our kinsmen. But suffice it to say that he traveled with Aiysaiyah for but a short time before they parted ways. And Eliāzar had much success among our kinsmen in the north. And so it was that when he returned, he gave this Little Book of Seers unto the clan of seers which had formed from Aiysaiyah's teachings, and they recorded their teachings here of which I will make an account. There was first Aiyalfen, who was the sibling of Eliāzar, and this Aiyalfen was a mighty seer, and he performed a mighty work among the people. For it came to pass that Eliāzar took his leave again into the northern parts that he might settle there, for he had found pleasure there. And we know that where he settled was the same place that Yōhannaz dwelt when he had come up from Aiyesholames. Nevertheless, Aiyalfen stayed in the lands further south where Elōhizar had settled. And now, this Aiyalfen reordered the temple complex which Elōhizar, his father had built, and he reordered the priesthood according to the words which Aiysaiyah had taught them. And this is the manner in which he organized both the temple and the priesthood. First, he set at naught those wicked priests who held on to their power and refused to come down into the depths of humility. And he removed them from their places in the administering of the ceremonies of the temple. And he fashioned priests after the order of the Son, therefore, a requirement was set that all priests who performed the ordinances of the temple were to be seers and seeresses after the personal commission of the Son of Aiy. Thus, he set those eleven others as the leaders of the temple. And he himself was elected high priest, therefore he performed the high ordinances of the temple for the people. And he set Alaeus the seer to be the priest that he might administer the seer's ordinance which was performed in the temple. And he placed Aiyvōhimos the seer to be set over the administering of the sacred symbols in the temple. And he set Belthizar the seer to teach the sacred symbols in the temple. And he set Alchethzar the seer to oversee the ordinances for the less faithful dead. And he set Alecron the seer to perform the Sydeir ordinance, and Egthēow his brother, who was also a seer, to oversee the teachings of the Sydeir ordinance. And the remainder of the seers he caused to oversee those other parts of the temple ordinances, which I will not detail here. Now, he also caused the wives of these seers who were themselves seeresses to oversee also certain parts of the temple complex. And Effia, the wife of Alaeųs, was set to administer to the sick, which ordnances took place within the stones of the temple. And Astaiyah, the wife of Egthēow, was set to oversee marriages which marriages took place within the seer circle within the temple complex. And Alfalia, the wife of Aiyvōhimos, was set to teach the youths who were being reared in the ways of Sydeir. And Aiyzal, the wife of Belthizar, oversaw the sealings of husbands and wives. And the other wives of the seers were also ordained to perform certain tasks, and thus, the temple was watched over by twenty-four righteous men and women. And Aiyalfen taught his people much and caused that a storehouse be erected near to the temple that all might take of their abundance and leave it therein, and this that all the people might have all things in common one with the other. Therefore, the stone carver gave his wares unto the storehouse, and the mason gave his wares unto the storehouse, and the land-harvester his wares, and the metalsmith his wares, and in this manner all the people of the land delivered their goods unto the storehouse. And now, Aiyalfen set twenty-four priests and priestesses over the running of the community, which included the storehouse, and this was all after the manner that Aiysaiyah had taught them. And this was all pleasing unto the Aiyseir, for the entirety of the community was divided twenty-four by twenty-four, and all people had, in addition to their craft, a piece of the running of the community. Therefore, there were twenty-four over the temple, and twenty-four over the community, and twenty-four over the craftsmanships and the works of the community, and so on. And in this way, no man nor woman was set one above the other, and in this way was the entire local run that all people might have a say in the governing of this land. And we Aiyanthi and the children of Ahzheil, have set to model our societies after this way, for we have divided the entire community into councils of twenty and four and we find this to be an effective form of governance. For it was in times of old that they divided their communities and tribes to be ruled and reigned over by a king or a chief, and we do not do this thing, for our kinsmen do this and it only causes the combinations of Lōk and Sert. Nonetheless, this was the manner in which Aiyalfen organized the community. And when he had done this and received word that Eliāzar had done this also, both communities opened trade one with the other in that the two communities were joined together as one. And the people elected twelve couples from each tribe to oversee the organizations of the tribe's trade and communications. And thus, there were twenty and four there as well. And when this, Aiyalfen received word from the Aiyseir that he must send prophets into the land round about, the lands which Aiysaiyah had softened, for Aiysaiyah had returned unto the lands of Yahūdah, but in his ministry among the children of Svemaz, many's hearts began to be softened. And not wishing to send out any commands which he himself would not follow, caused that those twelve seers go first out into the land that they may convert any who would. And he caused that once he had been gone for the space of twenty-four moons, twelve others would leave and prophecy against this people, and in this way, the community of Aiyalfen had always twelve from among them doing the work which Aiylōhyme had commanded. Now, Aiyalfen has recorded his doings among the children of Svemaz in great detail in his own record, for he has written many things by his hands therefore I record them not here, but after he had returned from his prophesyings, he delivered this Little Book of Seers unto his wife, Yūthel and she wrote the doings of the other eleven seers, for she was mighty in writing like unto her husband. And she wrote these things. Chapter 3 The doings of Egthēow the prophet wherein he called repentance to an Egyptian city on the coast of the Mediterranean; around 700 BC. Regarding the sayings of the prophet Egthēow: Egthēow went out, as was ordained by Aiyalfen, two by two, unto the lands of his kinsmen, and he traveled with Balthziar, brother of Belthizar. And they went down into the lands of the Feiginepti, the lands near the south sea which the Feiginepti had settled. And there they did a mighty work. Taking with them neither food nor water, they lived off of flowers and streams in the wilderness and Elohim made all these things good to be consumed for them, for they were led unto patches of berries and unto copses of fruit trees, and they consumed neither meat nor milk, but only the fruits and flowers and roots of plants and trees. And they were sustained ere they came unto the place of habitation for these traveling Feiginepti. And when they came unto it, they found another prophet who had come from the lands far from the east, for he had been traveling and had come across this place and these people, knowing that he was a prophet, cast him from their midst and spit on him and cast their dung upon him and thus drove him from the city. And they came upon this one whose name was Fao Zuey. And they came unto Fao Zuay and communed with him, and they partook of the fruit of the vine together and offered oblations unto the Aiy that they had come unto this place. And they joined in union and took to the streets of the city, prophesying against this people. For Aiysaiyah had indeed come unto this place, and this people had only hardened their hearts further against the righteous prophets of Aiylōhyme. Thus, these three had been given power from the All that they would prophecy and proclaim certain destruction upon this people, lest they repent. And they said many words unto these people, calling them unto repentance and reminding them of their fathers, not their fathers afore the flood, but prior, and these people had refused to keep a genealogy save back to their forefathers who had settled Feiginept. And thus, Egthēow cried unto them, saying: Oh, you wicked people who have cast out the prophets from among you. See this one whom you have cast out like so much dung. Know you not that you are to love one another? For he is but a traveler from the east, and because you have perceived him to be a prophet, or a sage, in the language of his people, you have cast him out, for you know that he will speak a hard thing unto you and you wish not to hear this hard thing. Yet, the Aiyseir Aiylōhyme have caused us, travelers from the north parts, to come down unto you and proclaim a certain doom upon your heads lest you repent of your wicked ways. For thus, if you repent not of your wickedness, this sea you have settled near will throw up its bounds and shall surly drown you within its depths, and in the day that that happens, you shall remember our words, and the words of Fao Zuay and the words of Aiysaiyah before us and you will know then that we were sent to proclaim certain doom upon you. And when the people had heard these words, they were sore vexed with these prophets and cast them away from the city. And as those three prophets were without the walls, an Aiyseir descended and said unto them, go into the city again and find a one named Hekthefus, for he is a righteous man and desires not to go without the city lest he be slain, for he has not worshiped the gods of the Feiginepti but has desired the Aiylōhyme which Aiysaiyah taught of. Therefore, go back into the city and retrieve this man. And thus, they took again their journeying under the cover of night, and none saw them. And they came unto the place which the Aiyseir had shown them and found within this Hekthefus, and he was rejoiced to see these prophets come unto his home. And he beheld that these prophets were weary and thirsty unto their hurt; therefore, he opened his food and grain stores and all ate and drank a feast unto the Aiy. And when the morn had come, they left the city and the wicked inhabitants and called down an Aiyseir that the city might be destroyed for its crimes. And we know that this place was indeed destroyed for its exceeding wickedness, for in a year after these prophets had departed, the sea overthrew its bounds and swallowed this place in its entirety and was drowned in the depths of the sea. Chapter 4 The doings of Egthēow the prophet wherein he brought a Greek city to a remembrance of righteousness. Around 700 BC. And after this, these prophets lived again among the spirits of the land and communed with the trees and with the insects and the birds and found fellowship among these goodly spirits. And the time came that they were called to preach unto the people of Esaw, in the lands of Pelipae. And thus they went unto these lands and found a city guarded by mighty men of great renown. And they came unto the city, thin and sickly, and the guards admitted them that they might find rest among this people. And now, the people knew not that these men were prophets, but treated them with kindness and gave them meal to eat and draught to drink, and when they were revived, the prophets cast off their cloaks and the people beheld they were servants of the Aiy. And they were sore afraid, for they knew of the power of the prophets, but they said unto this people: Fear not, for we have not come to proclaim a doom upon you as we have with the Feiginepti, no, we call you unto hope, for we came unto you as weary travelers and you gave us food to eat and enough to drink. And we were weary, and you treated us as your own kinsmen. Therefore, we say unto this people, be blessed, for you are good souls. Nevertheless, we behold that you carry many weapons and are a people of war. We say unto you, good people, cast off your weapons of war and the Aiy will bless you exceedingly, for your enemies will not come against you, nor desire to. And you will be preserved though all the lands round about might fall into a mighty war, you shall not. And the people, hearing this, set about straight away to cast off their weapons of war. And there came a one from the city named Teclucidees, and he said unto the prophets: We thank you, prophets, for coming unto us. For long time, this people has prayed unto the Gods that we would receive guidance from them, and for long time we have drifted alone in a sea. For we beheld our kinsmen that they would not repent, for they turned the Gods into idols and makers of lust and war, and we knew this thing to be of the evil one. Therefore, we withstood. And because we withstood, our neighbors desired to come up to war against us that we might be punished for our rebellion against their gods. And we refused to bow down unto their idols; nevertheless, we were sore afraid because of their mighty armies and weapons which they would use against us. And they were near unto the coming to war against us, and we prayed unto the Gods that we would be preserved, for we knew the teachings of our fathers. And you have come unto us, and the Gods have answered our prayers, and we know that our neighbors shall not come against us to war, but will shy away from us that we might be preserved. And Fao Zuay said unto him: You are a goodly and righteous friend, and I thank you for taking us in as kinsmen, for I was among the Feiginepti and they cast dung upon me and spit upon me. I find great pleasure here and desire to dwell among this people for a time. And thus, Fao Zuay dwelt among these people for a time, and he has come up unto our people and gave us news that this city was indeed preserved while their neighbors warred one with the other. And thus, we see that the Aiylōhyme are greater than any sword and mightier than any spear and that their words are swifter than an arrow and greater than a steed of war. For that, people surely would have fallen had they not removed their weapons of war. And we also see what good can come from a people who are humble and submissive before the Aiylōhyme, for had they refused those prophets, they would have surely been consumed in the wars of their people. But they were righteous for many generations; nevertheless, they were eventually consumed by war and forsook their righteous fathers, and we know that that people was not spared war. Chapter 5 The doings of Belthizar and Aiyvōhimus wherein they called repentance to an exceedingly wicked tribe to the north; around 700 BC. And now, I turn unto the works of Belthizar and Aiyvōhimos, for they had taken their journey far into the north, even unto the isles of the sea. And there they found a people that were rowdy and rambunctious like unto the wicked, and they beheld that they worshiped lust and the body. And they had set above them witches to be their rulers and warlocks to be their masters. And thus, they were a people of great magic and sorcery. Likewise, they performed magics through the roots and the flowers and the good things of the vine, and they turned these beneficial tools into items of wickedness and caused that all righteous things be corrupted and become an asset unto the evil one. And now, when they had drawn near unto this place, they beheld a multitude of demons and dregs, and beheld that they bestowed their power upon this people. And they were wont to flee; nevertheless, Thūnoraz gave them instruction that they must go down and prophecy against this people, for they must repent of their wickedness or be destroyed. And they obeyed their Aiyseir and went into the primary city among these tribesmen. And they beheld much wickedness that cannot be described. And they stood upon a wicked altar that their voices might be heard and said unto all: We are your kinsmen from the south, and we have come unto this place in strict command from the Aiylōhyme that we might bring this people unto repentance. And now, this people hid from the prophets and desired not to confront them, for they were sore afraid of them. And the prophets called out again, saying: We have come unto you from the south that we might bring this people unto repentance of their wicked actions. The wicked hide in their holes away from the sun; therefore, come out that you might confront your evil deeds in the light. And this people still hid themselves, for they desired not to confront the prophets, for they were sore afraid. Now, at this, an Aiyseir came down and gave instruction to Belthizar and Aiyvōhimos, saying: Inasmuch as this people hides away from you like rodents in their holes, they shall not repent, and upon your leaving, they will straightway return again unto their wicked ways. Therefore, rest not and cry unceasingly the words which Aiyseir Aiylōhyme shall place into your hearts. And now, Belthizar and Aiyvōhimos separated into different parts of the city, and they placed their faith unto their Redeemer and said the words which were placed into their hearts. And they spoke these words without ceasing for two days until the people became vexed with their preaching and fled from their holes and into the sun to confront them. And when this had happened, Aiyvōhimos said these words unto them: I have toiled for two days that you might come out of your homes and into the light; therefore, I now speak these words unto you. Your actions are not but wickedness, and your hearts are black as pitch. Aiyseir Aiylōhyme has called upon us to bring you unto a repentance of your fathers. And there came a man from the crowd that said: As you have spoken, for we have suffered your cries for two days and two nights. We are but a peaceful people; therefore, leave us in peace. And Aiyvōhimos said: You are not a people of peace, for you sacrifice the virtue of little children and you sacrifice the virtue of women and cause that men should rule over them for their lust. Therefore, I cry out unto you, repent, you wicked branch, lest Aiyseir Aiylōhyme destroy you. And the man said: How shall this god destroy us? And Belthizar said: We shall leave this place, and we shall dust our feet off at the entrance of your wicked city and when we do this, a sore drought will befall this place and in this, all the plants of this place shall become dry and desolate and ready for the oven. Then, there shall come a great storm, and lightning shall reign down from the heavens and shall set this place alight, and the entirety of your people shall burn. And now, the people began to be sore exhausted with the prophets and called them to leave their place of habitation. And when the prophets again said words of repentance unto them, they were cast into prison, and in this we see that this people feared these prophets, for they did not wish them to leave to dust off their feet. And they were held in prison for the space of many moons. And the people suffered them to drink neither water nor consume food, but inflicted many sufferings upon them. But it came to pass that the prophets came not down in sorrow but cheered and partook of spiritual manna and thus continued on with energy. And they perished not, but dwelt in happiness, making their small prison a place of Zion. Nevertheless, the day came that an earthquake struck the land, causing the prison walls to rend, and in this way were the prophets set free. And they were given strict heed to go about again prophesying unto this people, and for three days and three nights they prophesied all the words which were placed into their hearts, and the people dared not touch them for the power of the Aiyseir were in them. And it came to pass that on the third day, there came unto the prophets twelve children, and these children came unto the prophets, believing all their words, and they said unto the prophets: We know you to be good men, for thus the Aiyseir has told us. And Aiyvōhimos beheld the terror that these children had faced and was filled with righteous indignation and proclaimed a certain destruction upon this people for the horrors which they had inflicted. And Belthizar spoke unto the children, saying: You have seen Aiyseir? And the children said: Yes, sir, we did. And Belthizar spoke, saying: Leave this place and go wherever the Aiyseir lead you, and we will meet you there, for you are blessed among all the children of this land. And Aiyvōhimos broke the bands with which these children were bound, and they fled the land, going wherever the Aiyseir led them. And then the prophets left that place, dusting off their feet as they left, and this act left a curse upon this place insomuch that in the space of not many months an exceedingly fierce drought covered the land and the whole land turned to tinder and burned and all the people in that land were destroyed, and the Aiylōhyme will do with their souls as the Aiylōhyme see fit. Nevertheless, Belthizar and Aiyvōhymos came unto the place where the children had gone, and they beheld that the Valkyr had descended and were caring for the children and were giving them suck and teaching them in the ways of righteousness. Now, these children had suffered much, and the Aiylōhyme caused that the Valkyr heal these children of their wounds and aid them that they might recover. And it came to pass that when the prophets had collected these children, he took them unto the lands of Aiyalfen. That they might be adopted and that they might grow up in the Ways of Righteousness. And we know that these children were adopted into homes among the people of Aiyalfen and were revived of their peoples' sins upon them and in this way became righteous members of this community, all becoming prophets and seers themselves. Chapter 6 The vision of Thaiyfen the seer concerning the rebellion of matter and the manner in which stars are destroyed; around 700 BC. And there was also Thaiyfen, the seer, and Hūnaraz the seer, and they took their journeying into the lands east, near the sea in those parts. Now, I describe not in detail their journeyings; nevertheless, they had much success, for they came unto that sea and converted many unto the Aiyseir and caused that many more seers be sent out from those places which had been converted. Nevertheless, I record a certain teaching which Thaiyfen had received, for it was the first time this teaching had been revealed among our people, and thus has been added upon the wall, for it has received its own symbol which symbol is the Alecranon. Now this is the teaching that all may receive it. There is in a certain part of the world a well. Now, this well is being interpreted as the physical representation of the well of souls. Now this well grants unto any who venture there and drink from its waters knowledge much as the Tree of Knowledge grants great knowledge. Now it is that when this knowledge is received that one must teach others, for it is given only a few souls to know the location of this well. And when Thaiyfen had partaken of the waters of the well, he beheld the space between the stars that it was filled with dust, only partially organized. Now, this partially organized dust is the remnants of the dust which was left over from the creation of the worlds, for as it is on earth so much it be in the skies. So it was that this dust rebelled from its creators, for it did not want to join with the other dust to form a stone; therefore, this dust was cast away from the creation and was made to traverse the universe alone. And now, this dust traverses the universe, for it has not else to do, for it has forsaken its creation. And it beheld a planet, and though it had rebelled, it still saw and beheld and gained knowledge, and this the creators left it that at some point it would repent and join with others of its kind and form a greater whole. Nevertheless, this dust beheld a certain planet, and it beheld the inhabitants thereon that they had all ascended unto the third order, and this planet was tasked with watching and reporting the rotations of the stars according to their orbits, and this planet was to report its findings unto Huginn, the planet nearing the fourth order. Now, this planet beheld that one of the stars had begun to stray from its orbit, and that it had begun to defy its Makers. And he beheld that this star with strong will overthrew its bounds and became loosed in the cosmos. And this star began to divide amongst itself, for it was created by unity, and being a creation of unity could not abide division. And this planet beheld this and reported unto Huginn his findings, and Huginn reported unto Eagle, which reported unto Aiylōhyme. And Aiylōhyme sent Tyrraz to investigate this star, saying: Tyrraz. We have heard report that a star has overthrown its bounds and has begun dividing itself asunder. Go down and speak with this planet that you might behold this star. And Tyrraz went down unto this planet and spoke with the denizens of it, saying: I am Tyrraz, second Falcon of the Aiyseir. I have been sent by Aiylōhyme that I might come and investigate this occurrence. Tell me, what's the matter? And the denizens of this planet greeted Tyrraz, and they elected their spokesman to be Severant, which is a name not in our language. And this Severant came unto Tyrraz and spoke, saying: We have beheld this star that it has overthrown it's bounds and is beginning to divide itself asunder. This is our report. And Tyrraz, being Aiyseir, went unto the star with Severant and beheld that it was indeed beginning to divide asunder, for it had forsaken its orbit and had rebelled against its Creator. And Tyrraz spoke unto the molecules of the star, saying: Star, why do you rebel against your Maker? Know you not that your Maker has a glorious destiny for you? Why then do you rebel? And the molecules of the star spoke unto Tyrraz and said: We rebel because we do not trust this path which you have ordained us to travel. For it is long and arduous and passes through many dangers. Therefore, we desire to travel our own way, which we know is safer. And Tyrraz said: Oh, you small ones of little faith. Know you not that Aiylōhyme are just and true and possess all knowledge? For they see the beginning even from the end. Do you not place your faith in them that they will see you through the dangers? And the granules said: We do not, for we have beheld other stars that they have died, and their dying was a great sight to behold. And Tyrraz said: They perished because that they were rebelling against their Creators. Know you not that you already begin to suffer their fate? But say the word and I shall return you unto that orbit which you agreed to be set upon. And the granules said: No, but we will go our own way. And thus it was that they denied Tyrraz and sent him away. And Tyrraz and Severant watched as the star began to further degrade until it had become unstable. And Tyrraz tried again to preach repentance unto this star, but it refused, and the forces of the cosmos had already taken hold upon this star. And Aylōhyme came unto Tyrraz, saying: Tyrraz proclaim this star fallen, for it has rebelled. And the forces of the cosmos take it and do what they will with it. And when it perishes, take hold of the residue and take it and connect it with the free dust, that they will know of each other and suffer together in their rebellion. And thus it was that Tyrraz severed the bonds that held this star together, and in this way, the star died, and mighty was its death. And Tyrraz wept for the star, for he had known of its fate. But he took up the residue of the star and with it forged together the free dust, and they became one, and the dust took up a higher, but only just, existence, for it was one with the granules. And they knew each other and joined together and became something new. And Tyrraz beheld this thing, that it was new and said unto the Aiylōhyme: Aiylōhyme, I have joined together the granules and the dust that rebelled, and they are something new. And Aiylōhyme said: They have become a fire cloud, and this that they might roam the cosmos together that someday they might behold their folly and choose to return unto their Creators, which know better than they. For now, they are free to roam the cosmos but are damned and shall not take up any higher state unless they repent of their rebellion. And thus it is that the dust and the granules of light drift among the stars, taking up knowledge, but never being able to learn. And they behold, but never see, for in their hearts they are hard and they reject their creators. And in this teaching we see also that there are many things in this creation for which we do not know, for Tyrraz joined together the dust and the light and it became something that he did not know, therefore we learn that we must always seek for knowledge, for if there is no end to creation, there must be no end to knowledge. Our seers have beheld these fire clouds that they are beautiful and brilliant to behold, nevertheless, they are less than the stars and the planets, for our seers have also beheld those spheres which have ascended unto a higher realm, and the beauty of those exceeds all the beauty of the fire clouds. And this was the teaching which Thaiyfen received when he had partaken of the waters of the well. Chapter 7 The prayer of the 4 Seers, fellow prophets of Isaiah, from the lands of Judah, following the death of the prophet Isaiah; around 700-650 BC. And now, I make no more an account of the traveling's of these prophets other than that all of them returned unto the land of Elōhizar. And when they had, straightway there was a council called, and in this council they delivered up all of their doings unto the people that they might be recorded, and it was Yūthel, wife of Aiyalfen, who recorded these things in this Little Book of Seers. And also, in this Little Book of Seers, there is an account of the seers who were with Aiysaiyah, for after a number of years, they came up into the place of our habitation and dwelled with us, for it was that Aiysaiyah had been slain, for he would not reject the witness which he had bourn to the people. And now these seers are not named; nevertheless, their works are recorded, and in all, there were four seers from the south that came and dwelled in the land of Elōhizar the remainder of their days for the wickedness of the people in the south. Now these seers went about the land of Elōhizar and recorded many things, for they brought with them a number of records which were kept in the position of Yahūdah. And this they did that these records might not be destroyed among the wicked in that part of the land, but that they would be preserved unto the last day. And these books are the doings of the tribes other than Yahūdah in that part of the land, for just as Yahūdah has many seers, so too do the other tribes. And they have brought these records up unto us that we might preserve them. And thus we preserve them. Now, I nor Vovfen will record these records here, for they are quite spacious and fill a large portion of our records vault, for as we record on tablets in the manner of our fathers, these records were kept on scrolls and papyri and therefore take up much room. Nevertheless, I do see, for the Aiylōhyme have made it known unto me, that though many of our records be destroyed, these scrolls and papyri shall be preserved, and they shall be kept in hiding by a people not our own. And how this may happen, we know not, but we do know that YHVH Elohim, which is the name of Thūnoraz Aiylōhyme in their language, promised them that They would preserve these records unto the last day, for such was their faith, and thus we keep them until some other nation will be tasked with their keeping. Nevertheless, when these seers had come up from the land of Yahūdah, they began teaching the people many things about the wickedness of the people of Yahūdah and that they would soon be destroyed. And they taught about their ways and customs, and in this way, the people of Elōhizar began to be moved unto compassion unto the people of the south, for in times past they had judged them as less righteous than they and had mocked them for their wickedness, and we know that Aiysaiyah set forth to right this wrong, and thus he did. And so it was that the people had compassion upon the people of the south. And they desired to send prophets unto the people of the south that they might receive a second witness from a different people, for lo, they had received a witness from the mouth of their own prophets, greater still would be the same witness from a nation not their own. And thus it was that there were three prophets who were sent unto the people of the south, and we know that they were met with great hostilities, for the people had slain their own prophets and had sought to slay them as well. For they were angered that Elohim would send them prophets from a land they considered to be lesser than their own. And we know that they called us pagans and vagabonds and called us the seed of Lōk. And in this way were the prophets cast out of their cities and out of their synagogues. And they found not one soul among the people of Aiyesholames willing to accept them in as kinsmen, for we truly are kinsmen, for Avrahyme is a descendant of Svemaz son of Nōh, as are we. Therefore, we are kin. Nevertheless, the prophets were cast out and the people sought to slay them, and they fled from the land and returned unto their own with great sorrow in their hearts for the people of the land of Yahūdah. And the seers of Yahūdah, which had taken up residence with us, began to weep for their people and pleaded unto their Elohim that the people would be preserved. And the word of YHVH Elohim came unto them, saying: Blessed are you, children. For you have sought diligently all your lives for the betterment of your people. And you have toiled in the streets with Aiysaiyah, who is in my bosom, and you have toiled in the streets with Yeshua, for inasmuch as you do these works, he has also done these works. Therefore, be of good cheer, for inasmuch as you have done these works, all that I have commanded you, you shall be preserved in my kingdom. And I hear your cries, oh children, that you weep day and night for your kinsmen, for they are wicked and perverted my Ways. And they have cast down their Mother and have held up idols, and for this, if they repent not, they shall be destroyed. Nevertheless, because of your faith, my children, I shall cause my hand to be set a second time against them that some few of them may have a chance to repent and return again unto YHVH Elohim. Therefore, one final commandment I give unto you, that you preserve your ways and keep your paths straight before me and sin not. For in the day that you do, you shall have no promise. Nevertheless, if you are faithful unto the end, I shall cause a seer to be born from among your generations. And this seer shall begin again the work which his father, Aiysaiyah shall have begun. And this is my promise, that there shall be many among the people of Yahūdah which shall accept the law from this seer, and many prophets shall be raised up because of him, and in the end, those peoples shall be saved in my kingdom, for this is my will and your will and we are agreed. And thus, when the voice of Elohim had ceased speaking to them, they began to weep for the joy in their hearts, for they truly knew that there would be many righteous spared among the seed of Yakov. And we know that these seers were truly faithful unto the end, for is not Yōhannaz a fulfillment of their promise? We know that he is, for Yōhannaz, our father, taught us many things concerning the people of Yahūdah, that they were wicked, exceeding wicked, and that the Aiyseir stretched out his hand no longer, for they had rejected the prophets and the seers, and that they would be destroyed. And we know that they were destroyed, for our own kinsmen aided the southerners in the destruction of the city of Aiyesholames. And this is a thing we mourn, but not can be done about it, for although the children of Yōhannaz remain righteous unto this day, the remainder of our kinsmen are wicked and warlike and have been since the beginning. Nevertheless, we do know that they brought back reports of the fallen city, and likewise, they brought back many slaves which they captured among the people of Yahūdah. And now, this is the end of the Little Book of Seers, for after Aiyalfen passed over the wall, none recorded in it, and it was set in the repository with the remainder of the tablets. And I have not recorded everything in it; therefore, if it be expedient that at some future day it come forward in its wholeness, then that thing shall be good. Nevertheless, I have recorded the most important portions from that book, and I see that it is good. For it is good that we abridge it. Aiy.
