1
And now, Chizqiyahu and Yosab my son, these are the days concerning the completion of the world.
2
After it is completed, Beliar the great ruler, king of this world who has ruled it from its beginning, shall descend from his firmament in the likeness of an ish - a lawless king, a slayer of his mother.
3
And this ruler in the form of that king shall persecute the planting which the Twelve emissaries of the Beloved planted; and one of the Twelve shall be delivered into his hand.
4
This ruler shall come in the form of that king, and all the powers of this world shall come with him, obeying him in everything he desires.
5
At his word the sun shall rise at night, and he shall make the moon appear at the sixth hour.
6
And all that he desires he shall do in the world; he shall do and speak in imitation of the Beloved, and he shall say: 'I am Elohim, and before me there was none.'
7
And all the people in the world shall trust in him.
8
And they shall sacrifice to him and serve him, saying: 'This is Elohim, and besides him there is no other.'
9
And the greater number of those who had associated together in expectation of receiving the Beloved shall turn aside after him.
10
And the power of his signs shall be manifested in every city and region.
11
And he shall set up his image before him in every city.
12
And he shall rule three years and seven months and twenty-seven days.
13
And many of the faithful and set-apart ones who had seen Him for whom they hoped - the One executed and afterward ascended - shall be left only in small number as His servants in those days, fleeing from wilderness to wilderness while awaiting the coming of the Beloved.
14
And after one thousand three hundred and thirty-two days the Master shall come with His messengers and with the armies of the set-apart ones from the seventh heaven, with the glory of the seventh heaven; and He shall drag Beliar into Gei-Hinnom together with his armies.
15
And He shall give rest to the righteous whom He finds still in the body in this world,
16
and to all who through trust in Him rejected Beliar and his kings. And the set-apart ones shall come with the Master clothed in the garments stored for them above in the seventh heaven. They shall descend with Him, and He shall strengthen those found in the body together with the set-apart ones, clothing them in the garments of the set- apart ones; and the Master shall serve those who kept watch in this world.
17
And afterward they shall turn upward in their garments, and their former body shall be left in the world.
18
Then the voice of the Beloved shall rebuke in wrath the things of the heavens and the things of the earth, the mountains and hills, the cities and wilderness, the forests, the messenger of the sun and the messenger of the moon, and every place in which Beliar manifested himself and acted openly in this world. And there shall be resurrection and Judgment in those days, and the Beloved shall cause fire to go forth from Him, and it shall consume all the irreverent until they are as though they had not been created.
19
And the rest of the words of the vision is written in the Vision of Babylon.
20
And the rest of the vision concerning the Master - see, it is written in three parables according to my words written in the sefer which I prophesied publicly.
21
And the descent of the Beloved into Sheol - see, it is written in the portion where the Master says: 'See, My Servant shall understand.' These things are also written in the Tehilliym, in the parables of Daviyd son of Yishai, in the Mishlei of Shəlomah his son, in the words of Qorach, Eitan the Yisra'eli, Asaph, and in the remaining Tehilliym which the messenger of the Ruach inspired,
22
and in those without a written name, and in the words of Amos my father, Hoshea, Mikhah, Yo'el, Nachum, Yonah, Ovadyah, Chavaqquq, Chaggai, Malakhi, Yoseph the Righteous, and Dani'el.
