Chapter 2

¹After these things, which are true, I had a vision of God, which said,

²“Set your face eastward, northward, southward, and westward. And whistle with your mouth as a bird whistles to her children and say, ‘Four corners of the earth, hearken to the Word of AO!’

³Thus said AO, who sits and dwells over the cherubim; cast forth, cast forth, cast forth; gather, gather, gather My seed that I have sown in you, for the time of seeding has come.

⁴For yet a little while and I shall collect My seed on My threshing floor, and the threshing floor will be holy; unclean seed shall not be found upon it.

⁵For before those days My seed was mingled with lentils, and barley, and spelt, and beans, and gourd.1

⁶And in the end of days, the sower shall be of truth, and the seed shall be the truth, and from that seed shall all the land be blessed.

⁷Rejoice and be glad, O remnant of Judah Ephraim and rejected of Israel, for salvation is with AO.

⁸As you shall be a curse and a scorning to all the tribes of the earth, so shall you be a blessing and grace eternally.

⁹At that time shall no cursed or unholy people be found among you, for all shall join you in the covenant, with your law, testimonies, statutes, and ordinances.

¹⁰And you together shall have one God, one covenant, one law, and one tongue; for all shall speak in the tongue of the Jews Israelites; a holy tongue.2

¹¹Happy are you, O Israel, for who shall be like you? A people that is saved by AO.

¹²For He shall go before you to fight your wars with your enemies.

¹³Woe to you, O Edom, that sits in the land of Chittim, in the north of the sea!

¹⁴For your destroyers will emerge from a terrible nation the terrible of the nations⁠3 not leaving you a remnant.

¹⁵For you said, “On high is my throne, and I have knowledge of the God of gods, for AO has chosen me instead of His holy people, for He has loathed them.

¹⁶And His former people are despised and rejected, not knowing AO or His image.

¹⁷Verily, we are wise and discerning; we know AO and His law, we know His image and Presence!”

¹⁸Therefore, thus said AO, “Because you rose so highly to speak about the God of gods, you will know that you shall perish in your discernment.

¹⁹For why would you put your confidence in man, in whose nostrils is his breathe, which came up in a the night, like a shadow of the day that passes away, setting himself to sit beside God!

²⁰For it is not you whom I foreknew, and where is the bill of divorce to My people that you said should be a prey? Can you declare it to Me?

²¹Your dead bodies will fall among My people. O AO, whose name is Jealous, come forth; come out from Your dwelling place and thresh Edom, and consume them.

²²Come to Zarephath; come to Sepharad; come to Ashkenaz; come to Togarmiah.

²³They came and fell into the lowest of pits, into destruction and in the shadow of death, for your mouth failed you, and there was none to help you.

²⁴At the end of days shall Michael David, the great prince, will rise up in war,4 like a whirlwind against Samael, the prince of this world, to put him under his feet, to the breathe of AO, and he shall be devoured, for AO has spoken it.

²⁵At the end of days, the spoiled will overcome those who spoiled; and the weak, the strong; in truth and in righteousness.

²⁶Your God is Your Saviour, O Israel, with Him shall you be saved, for He is a merciful God; He will not forsake you.

²⁷For you shall continue in all that I commanded to you in the law of Moses, My servant.
