I
1] In my little room was I praying and calling on the name of God and invoking him.
2] And there did appear in my midst a mighty being.
3] And speaking, did he say unto me: Write the things which I am to show thee, for the time is at hand.
4] The children of God have been wicked indeed. And there hath been called by God a great reckoning.
5] Yea, must the sons of man repent of their sins against God.
6] For to long have they spat upon the word of God, calling this thing which they have done, holiness.
7] Woe! Woe! Woe be it unto them who have blasphemed in the face of God.
8] Woe be it unto those who follow after the great whore.
9] For God hath set his face against them who have murdered his son, those who have stood upon his word and rendered it unintelligible by their mumblings and their commentary thereof.
10] Verily, they have faltered in the presentation of this matter, for this was not mine intention, sayeth the Lord.
11] Aye, have they served the evil one well.
12] Vehemently have they spat at the words of the prophet.
13] They have confined themselves to the one, and verily was it not enough, yea, and too much, for they are bound by folly.
14] In blasphemy have they contradicted one with the other, calling one act of God holy and another wickedness, because it did not conform with their folly.
15] In blasphemy have they contradicted one with the other, obeying one law of God to their delight and disregarding another, because it did not conform with their folly.
16] In blasphemy have they contradicted one with the other, condemning one man of certain crimes of which they themselves are guilty.
17] Yea, in these things have they blasphemed, contradicting one with the other, limiting the nature of God to their own misunderstanding.
18] Yea, have they blasphemed, limiting the nature of God.
19] I am ashamed of them, sayeth the Lord.
20] They have become a race of barbarians, rebuking those who are strange unto them, and raping and murdering the innocent.
21] The Lord hath become saddened with them, for their hands have become full of much blood.
22] Also, in their actions have they likened me unto a fool, sayeth the Lord.
23] In their opposition with the evil one have they not found a balance, and thus have they become as the evil one himself, and thus becoming his slave.
24] I will smite the nations with my rod, sayeth the Lord, for too long have they been lead astray by the evil one.
25] Long have they been wooed unto the bed of the whore and fornicated with her.
26] Aye, they have set themselves up in pride upon the potters shelf, but I will smite them with my rod and smash them into pieces, sayeth the Lord, for they have become as unclean vessels.

II
1] And then did I see, standing in the heavens, a mighty messenger of God, and he spake unto me saying:
2] O wretched one, o wretched one, sorrowful is thy day and time.
3] With open eyes and smiling faces do they watch for the coming millennium, for they think that is the hour of my coming, and also they think that they are ready.
4] Without fear do they await my wrath. They shame themselves and mock me in this way.
5] Do they not know that I will crush them? Do they not know that I hate them.
6] Of all my creations, they are the worst.
7] I set them above the animals, yet the beast of the field deserveth more blessings than they.
8] I sent my son unto them that they might have a foundation for the beginnings of all knowing, yet they have piled great heaps of dung upon it and have deceived themselves thereby.
9] Four times before had I sent him among them, yea and twice thereafter, and also seven before, but all was in vain.
10] The fifth of the seventh came unto them in peace and they murdered his flesh and raped the wisdom which he offered them, for they were sleeping and he had woke them for but a time, and it angered them.
11] A fool despiseth knowledge of his folly.
12] The sixth I sent unto them in a great chastening, and they rebuked him yet again, for they were sleeping and he threatened to wake them and it angered them.
13] Verily, a fool enjoyeth his escape into slumber.
14] Thus sayeth the Lord of Hosts unto the multitudes:
15] Concern thyself not with the first four of these ancient ones, nor the seven before them, for there is one in thy midst in this day and time, whom thou suspect not.
16] Let not thine attention wander, for soon he will be gone, and soon after shall I return unto thee in anger.
17] Better ye prepare for my wrath, for seven and seven times have I sent my son, and seven and seven times have ye rebuked my gifts of mercy.
18] Ye will not know me.
19] Woe! Woe be it to those who follow after the great whore, for them shall there be eternal suffering and damnation. The grave shall swallow them up and spit them out, again and again.
20] And unto thee my child:
21] A blessing art thou my seventh of my seventh born, yet a curse shalt thou be unto them.
22] And woe unto thee, for thou hast caught them sleeping yet again.
23] But come unto me my faithful child and write all of the things which I am about to tell thee and send them unto the nations as a letter of awakening.
24] And when thou writest unto them, write not unto them as many, but as one.
25] For the sons of man are not many, but one, one man.
26] And short hath his one life become.

III
1] In this book there is found little prophesy, for the time of concern is now.
2] Thou wilt not hear the voice of the prophets.
3] Thou wilt heed no warnings.
4] Open thine eyes, I say, and see what is about thee.
5] If thou believest not the prophets of old, canst thou not see for thyself that the time is at hand?
6] Canst thou not see the woeful world in which thou livest?
7] Canst thou not see the end thyself?
8] Canst thou not see what thou hast done, o thou loud and haughty scoffer?
9] Thou rebukest the prophet, and say that he is mad, and go about merry.
10] Thou rebukest the healer, and say that he is filled with death.
11] Thou rebukest the man who loveth the earth, and say that he worships the evil one.
12] Thou rebukest not the ignorant nor the charlatan, but instead praise them and call them men of God.
13] Thou rebukest any and all truth, for thou hast cast lots for my ancient and holy books and divided them up, blaphemously choosing one over the other, reading few and understanding none.
14] Thou rebukest not the curse of Cain, and though he smite thee, thou rebukest him not. Instead thou rebukest any who rebuke him. Thou wouldest receive even a dog into thy congregation if it could add but one more pence to thy purse.
15] Thou hast accepted his violent blood into thy congregation, and this in my name.
16] Restless was his father, and his father before him, yea, even unto their first ancestor Cain. And restless will he be always and forever, for this was his curse.
17] Canst thou keep the company of a smiter without being smitten.
18] Canst thou keep from smiting a smiter forever? Canst thou keep peace forever with the perpetually wroth? Nay, for he will rise up against thee for a weakling.
19] Hast thou patience forever for the voracious wild animal, who could never see thee as any help?
20] Wilt thou have patience forever, when thou goest unto him each day to feed him and appease him and he biteth thine hand on thine every return?
21] Wilt thou have love for him when thou goest unto him and thou hast no food to offer him and there is none else to be found.
22] Thou hast tried to teach love to the devourer, the murderer and destroyer, and thou knowest nothing of the laws of love thyself. And in this, thou hast shewn that thou knowest nothing of the laws of God.
23] Thou hast defiled thy house in ways without number.
24] Thou honorest not the house which I have given thee.
25] Thou hast rebuked my chosen and held fast to the cursed.
26] Therefore, have I set one in thy midst who is indeed wretched, that thou mayest listen to him and instead be saved.

IV
1] And after that great being had spoken, was I then met by another being, who brought me to a place which was familiar unto me.
2] And he spake unto me saying: Look and see.
3] And I looked and saw.
4] And there did I witness the crimes of man.
5] Every wickedness, I saw and understood.
6] And thereby I wept much, for of all the things which I witnessed, I saw no righteousness.
7] There was not one to be found, in all the earth, who was pure of heart.
8] And I turned unto the being who brought me there, and I asked of him: Is this what will become of my people?
9] And he answered me saying: Thou hast seen no tomorrow nor yesterday. Thou art seeing them as they are.
10] And turning again unto the earth, did I wax in sadness yet again.
11] Then did the being, whom I was with, begin to point out to me all manner of horror and explain them unto me, saying: Look and see.
12] And I looked and saw. And In one direction, he pointed, and I saw a great prostitute, and lying with her on her bed were her father and her children.
13] And all of them were drunken with her, and fornicated with her openly, and hid themselves not.
14] Nor were they ashamed of their nakedness.
15] And looking, I saw that the four corners of her bed were situated on the four corners of the earth.
16] Then did I ask the being: What meaneth this?
17] And he said unto me: The woman whom thou sawest on the bed is a church and many churches.
18] They have established themselves in the name of IhsouV {Greek: Yesous - Jesus}, and so have identified themselves wrongly.
19] She is a vile and filthy woman who hath twisted the teachings of this holy one.
20] The man whom thou sawest lying on the bed is her father.
21] He hath identified himself with {Yehowah: God (Jehovah)} and hath done so wrongly also.
22] Verily, in doing so have they blasphemed.
23] And the multitudes thou sawest lying on the bed with them and fornicating with them, are their congregation, those whom they have deceived.
24] The four corners of her bed are standing on the four corners of the earth, for there is no place in the earth that she hath not defiled.
25] She is a vile and filthy disease, and she hath infected many.
26] Yea, she hath lead many astray.
27] Out of the children of God, she hath wrought a band of murderers and malefactors, an multitude of false prophets and charlatans.
28] They have all been deceived by an evil spirit who hath come in the name of Yehowah: God (Jehovah)].<br>29] And <img SRC= hath become wroth with this evil spirit for the wrong that he hath done.

V
1] Then did I see the whore and her children rise up in the name of , which the evil spirit had taken wrongly, and smite every nation and every tongue who would not lie with her on her bed and fornicate with her.
2] Then did she become wroth with them and begin to vomit from her mouth and do violence to them.
3] Raving, she blasphemed their Gods and desecrated their temples and holy places, rebuking them and accusing them and calling them evil.
4] Verily, hath the accuser stablished himself in the house of the whore.
5] Cursed is she for this crime, for if thou blaspheme the name of another man's God, God almighty will become wroth with thee, for in doing this, wilt thou have blasphemed him also.
6] Then did she embrace those whom she had led astray, and take them unto her bed.
7] And this because she had promised them hope.
 

VI
1] Then did I see the ones, whom the whore had led astray, stumbling, as if they were walking in a great darkness.
2] Disillusioned and frightened were they, for they knew not where to go.
3] For they had found to late, that the whore could not fulfill her promises.
4] And also did they find too late, that her father was an lying and deceiving, and wicked spirit.
5] And then, in their stumbling and darkness, did they go about the earth, to and fro, and wander about aimless.
6] Truly were they lost, for she had convinced them that they knew nothing, and ignorant were they.
7] Verily, she had convinced them there was no other that could be likened unto her.
8] Though they knew her to be a deceiver, she had convinced them strongly.
9] And thus did they wander about the earth, to and fro, going from house to house, and stumbling in their darkness.
10] And I looked and saw and these are the things which I witnessed of the whore and her father and their wicked children.

VII
1] And then did the being, whom I had known, point in another direction, saying: Look and see.
2] And I looked and saw. And standing before me, I saw two great beasts that looked like man and woman, but they were not.
3] And though they strove to present themselves as man, their nature and their appearance did betray them.
4] And dark were these beasts and restless were they and filled with much violence.
5] And looking, I saw the nations fornicating with them and bringing forth children. In a seeming nature had they become friendly with one another.
6] And then did I witness the two beasts smite the nations and abate them, and bring them much sorrow and violence. And this because they had themselves been smitten past.
7] And though the nations tried in their efforts, they could appease them not.
8] Only, did the two beasts become more brazen and smite a little more each day, until I began to hear peoples within the nations weeping and crying out.
9] And looking to the being, I said: What meaneth this?
10] And he said unto me: The two beasts which thou sawest were once man, but are no longer.
11] Once did a certain man walk the earth as a man, and live his life as a man.
12] But one day, he went unto his brother in anger and murdered him.
13] And then did his brother's blood cry out to God, and God heard him.
14] Then did God go unto the man, who had murdered his brother, and curse him for this thing which he had done.
15] And in cursing him did God afflict him much, for God had marked him that all who saw him would know him.
16] Because this man chose to behave as an animal, as an animal was he to live out the rest of his days. And he was afflicted so.
17] And in bringing forth children of his own seed did he multiply his curse.
18] But also did God protect him, that any who murdered him, would be cursed sevenfold. And this because his appearance would frighten all who saw him, and they might wish to kill him also.
19] And then did his children multiply, and they and their curse.
20] And because none were allowed to smite them, did they become brave and went about smiting freely.
21] And thus were there much violence common to their blood, so that they became a restless nation.
22] And none who saw them would smite them, though they were smitten, for they remembered the curse of the man who murdered the father of these children.
23] The two beasts whom thou sawest are descendants of the man who murdered his brother.
24] And so strong is their blood with restlessness and violence that time can not abate it.
25] They were once cast out from the people, but now have they returned.

VIII
1] Then did I witness the two beasts bringing forth children with the nations and with one another, until they were great in number.
2] Then did I witness the two beasts and their children become angry, for they were wroth with the curse that God had given them. And though they efforted much, this curse would not be weakened or dissolved.
3] Then did the being say unto me: In this there are three woes.
4] And as soon as the being had spoken, the two beasts and their children rose up and smote a great number of people.
5] And following thereafter was silence for a time and a time.
6] And in this silence did the beasts and their children seethe without rest, for there were yet two woes.
7] Then did I witness the two beasts and their children rise up and smite the people again, yea, and a greater number fell.
8] And following thereafter was there a second silence.
9] And before the silence was about to pass again, I heard on earth thunderings and rumblings, for the second woe had passed and the third woe was now at hand.
10] At this, did I plead with the being, saying: Stop this! Stop this thing before it is two late.
11] For the number of the two beasts and their children are great, and when they reach forth there hand, they will smite many.
12] And the being answered me saying: I can not. Thou can not.
13] And I looked and saw and these are the things which I witnessed of the two beasts and the children they brought forth.

IX
1] Then did the being, whom I had known, point in another direction, saying: Look and see.
2] And I looked and saw. And there I saw two great and mighty warriors standing in battlements, and below them stood other warriors.
3] And angry with each other were these two warriors and the ones who stood beside them.
4] And coming together, they clashed in a great violence that caused the earth to quake and rumble, and because of them did many die.
5] And thereafter was there silence for a time and a time.
6] Nothing could be heard but the other warriors who stood beside the two great warriors, and they were shouting and fighting with one another.
7] And when this happened, the two greater warriors would smite the other warriors and cause them to again be silent.
8] And after the silence had passed, the two great warriors came together yet again in a great clash of thunder and lightening and fire and all manner of horror.
9] Thus were there many more deaths because of them.
10] And thereafter, there followed another silence.
11] And as before, nothing could be heard but the quarreling of the other warriors who stood beside the two great warriors.
12] And again would the two great warriors smite them and silence them.
13] And I looked and saw and these are the things which I witnessed of the two great warriors and the warriors who stood beside them.

X
1] Then did the being, whom I had known, point in another direction, saying: Look and see.
2] And I looked and saw. And there did I see the most beautiful woman I had ever seen.
3] So beautiful was she, and brought forth many children. Countless beyond number were her children and she loved them all.
4] And then did the evil one come upon them and they began to defile and hurt her much.
5] Many did her children come unto her to defile her, and having no remorse for what they had done to her.
6] And thus did she become wroth with them and began to knock them down and hurt them also.
7] But soon was she quickened in her love for them and her anger was silenced because of this.
8] And having patience with them, she smote them no more, but for a time.
9] Then did I witness her children return unto her that they might defile her yet again and cause her more pain.
10] And so did she become wroth with them again, and rose up against them to smite them for the affliction that they had become to her.
11] But soon after was she quickened again in her love for them, and thus was her anger silenced.
12] And unto her a voice came from out of heaven and spake, saying: Unruly have thy children become, o thou beautiful one.
13] I have set thee as a most precious gem in mine crown and they behold not thy beauty.
14] Twice have I heard thee cry out in pain and become wroth with them.
15] These things I will not stand idly by and witness without intercession.
16] If thou should cry out a third time, will I come and strike them down for their crimes against thee.
17] Yea, these children will have never seen such a day. So sayeth I.
18] And I looked and saw, and these are the things which I witnessed of the beautiful woman and her children and the mighty voice which came out of heaven.

XI
1] Then did the being, whom I had known, carry me up above all these things, saying: Thou art now to see things which must come.
2] And pointing downward, he said: Look and see.
3] And I looked and saw. And thus did I witness many things and many evil happenings and all manner of horror yet to come.
4] In every direction were there confusion and all manner of blasphemy without count.
5] And thus did I see the whore and her children rise up in anger against the just, for she had deceived all but a few, and she was now many strong.
6] And with her came the worshipers of åàçà à and battled alongside of her, though they knew it not, for they are both deceived by the same spirit.
7] Also did the two beasts rise up and smite the nations in a great smiting, for they were to great many in number also.
8] And then did the two great warriors ready themselves, and also the warriors who followed them, for they saw each other's calamity for weakness.
9] And there were loud thunderings and roaring and great fires everywhere.
10] And then did I hear the beautiful woman cry out, and she rose up in anger and began to smite her children.
11] Thus did she quake and rumble and frighten her children much.
12] Then did I witness her opening up her mouth and swallowing her children up.
13] Verily, she opened up her mouth and swallowed hundreds and hundreds and many hundreds.
14] Also did her belly churn and roar in a great violence.
15] And with her mouth did she blow upon them in a great breath, yea, and many breaths, and by these things did her children fall in great number.
16] And hearing her cry out, did God become wroth with her children also, and began to observe them in their wickedness.
17] And God remembered his oath unto the beautiful woman.
18] And thus did he send forth his spirit unto her to torment and to cause great pain to her children.
19] So violent was the spirit of God and did bring upon her children plague and disease and fear and torment. And they hid themselves from the wrath of God.
20] And the skies did whirl and thunder and tear them from their hiding places.
21] And fire did come down from heaven and burn them up,
22] And the seas did churn and bubble and wash them away,
23] And the earth did tremble and swallow them up.
24] Then did I cry out to him who lives forever: Is there not any righteous to be found among them? Are there not any that may be spared? Must the righteous perish with the wicked?
25] Thou art a loving and merciful God. I beg thee, spare those who may be spared.
26] And then did the Lord God Almighty, who liveth forever and forever, observe them again, and yea, he found a few who had stayed pure of heart and had kept his commandments.
27] And listening he heard them calling out to him. Even in the midst of all this trouble, when all else were cursing him, his righteous were invoking him by law.
28] Yea, were the children of God invoking him by name and burning incense unto him and wearing beautiful garments and precious stones which were pleasing unto his eyes.
29] Verily had they stayed faithful through all manner of turmoil and tragedy.
30] They had not been lead astray.
31] Then did God say unto his heart: I have never seen such a sight.
32] Then did God stretch forth his arm and throw wide the doors of a mighty gate.
33] And I saw what seemed, to me, to be a mighty pool of water in the heavens.
34] And all of the children of God, who had remained faithful and wise, were caught up unto the firmament and were seen no more, for God had taken them.
XII
1] Then did I look down upon them with pity, who were left, for they were not taken.
2] And though the earth were rent and torn greatly, because of the arm of God, did they not repent and invoke the Lord God Almighty, who liveth forever and forever, for the hour had already passed and they knew not the key, for they would not listen when there was yet safety.
3] And angry was God with them because they did not repent, and thus began to smite the earth with fire and with flame and with a great rending.
4] So great was this rending, that the grave opened wide her mouth and the dead did spill out upon the face of the earth.
5] And the sea did rise unto the heavens.
6] And there were fire and rushing winds and great thunder and lightening.
7] Never were there such a day in all the days of the earth.
8] And in all the earth there could be found no place in peace, for the beautiful woman was giving up her ghost.
9] Verily, in that day were there many fallen, and in darkness had they found no refuge, for the sun was not seen for days and days and many days.
10] Terror had come unto them and known them sorely, for there were not one stone left standing upon another.
11] Few did survive that wretched day.
12] And when the hour had passed were there heard wailing and cursing and moaning, for the Spirit of God had left them.
13] Then did I see the passing of a thousand years and many days, and in this time did the whore not open up her mouth, for she had fallen for because.
14] And the sons of man did wander the face of the earth aimless and in sorrow and mourning, for the day of reckoning would not leave them.
15] And in these days of wandering and sorrow and mourning, were their feet pierced through with thistle and stone, and their hands caked with blood on account of these things, and did their heads become bald and their skin as tattered and worn leather.
16] Verily, they had become as dead trees.
17] Then did I look and see that the moon had turned to blood, and in crossing the sky, did she bleed much unto the ground.
18] And the sons of man did look upon her in fear, for they knew that the last prophesy had been fulfilled and the final day had come.
19] They had come thus far, only to meet the second death.
20] And I looked and saw the sons of man standing before the rising sun, and looking, they saw that she shown no more as she had shown, but that she was filled with the blood of revenge.
21] And then did I see the sons of man begin to pant as dogs, and dig holes and lie under rocks and pray unto God to bring them rain, but God did not hear them, and no rain fell.
22] Then did I see the heavens, as it were, soaked with much blood, and for many days, until the azure sky of yesterday were forgotten in the minds of man.
23] Then did I see the earth and the sun embrace one another, and did I hear the sons of man wailing and gnashing their teeth, for there were fire and hell and torment.
24] And a great lake and sea of flame were opened up unto them and they and all the earth and all that were in it and all that were in the seas and all that were in the air were burned up forever and forever.
25] And I looked and saw, and I witnessed the things which were to come, and did I understand the mystery of the lake of fire and of those who are to be tormented in hell forever.
XIII
1] Then did all these things pass and I saw a little shepherdess whose skin was as fair and as white as milk.
2] And this shepherdess could not be likened unto any other I had seen before, for about her head were burning as of the burning of the head of a saint.
3] Then did I hear her call her sheep unto her, for the night had grown cold, and they were yet to be prepared for the great feast and set upon the banquet table of the house of God.
4] Then did I witness her casting a mighty Magick Circle, and invoking the Lord God by name, and thus did she bring all things into one, yea, even as I.
5] Then did I turn to the being whom I had known and ask of him: Now that I have seen these things and know that which is and that which is to come, what hath become of the children of God who were taken up?
6] And he took me by the hand and carried me away unto another place.
7] And beautiful was this place, such as I had never seen before this time.
8] And looking I saw the children of God rejoicing in the place which they had come to know. And in a beautiful garden did I see them.
9] And mighty were they there, and strong, and there were no more sorrow nor pain nor death, for they had come through the first death and thereby had they precedence over the tree.
10] Then did the being whom I had known speak unto me, saying: These are the children of God and blessed are they, for while on the earth, which is no more, they wore their holy garments and did not go about naked.
11] Faithfully did they keep the holy commandments of God and blasphemed them not with vulgar understandings.
12] Neither did their tongues speak untrue, and for this did God reward them greatly.
13] And listening, I heard the voice of God speak unto them saying: Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.
14] And listening again I heard the voice command of them: Ye may eat of any tree of the garden, but the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil ye may not eat. For if ye should eat of this tree, ye will surely die.
15] And I looked and saw, and I witnessed the new earth and the children of God rejoicing in the garden, and thereby did I understand another great mystery.
16] And then did I hear many voices coming from out of heaven and they were saying:
17] Glory be to God for he is great!
18] Glory be to God for he is abounding and exceedingly great!
19] Glory be to God who giveth and taketh away!
20] Glory be to the judgment and the mercy of God!
21] Glory be to the creations of God, for all things are him and created by him!
22] Glory be to the children of God, for they are in him, and he in them!
23] Glory be to the great mysteries of God!
24] Glory be to the Tree and the Fruit of the Tree, and to the order and the operation thereof!
25] Glory be to the Father and to the Mother and to the Son who brought all these things into existence through the Spirit!
26] Glory be to the Spirit of the Son and his Knowledge!
27] Glory! Glory! Glory be to God!
28] Then did the being whom I had known say unto me: Thou hast done well to record the things which have been revealed unto thee. An end to this thing which hath begun with thee. Unto thee glory also, for thou hast opened the Eye.
