Section 68
“ And again, there shall be to you a sign that the Deliverer shall come from your seed, and that He shall deliver you with your fathers and your seed after you by His coming. Your salvation was created in the belly of Adam in the form of a Pearl before Eve. And when He created Eve out of the rib He brought her to Adam, and said to them, c Multiply you from the belly of Adam.’ The Pearl did not go out into Qayin or Hevel, but into the third that went forth from the belly of Adam, and it entered into the belly of Shet. And then passing from him that Pearl went into those who were the firstborn, and came to Avraham. And it did not go from Avraham into his firstborn Yishma'el, but it tarried and came into Yitsḥaq the pure. And it did not go into his firstborn, the arrogant Esau, but it went into Ya'aqov the lowly one. And it did not enter from him into his firstborn, the erring Re'uven, but into % udah, the innocent one. And it did not go forth from Yehudah until four sinners had been born, but it came to Fares (Perez), the patient one. And from him this Pearl went to the firstborn until it came into the belly of Yishai, the father of your father. And then it waited until six men of wrath had been born, and after that it came to the seventh, Daviyd, 1 your innocent and humble father; for Elohim hateth the arrogant and proud, and loveth the innocent and humble. And then it waited in the loins of your father until five erring fools had been born, when it came into your loins because of your wisdom and understanding. And then the Pearl waited, and it did not go forth into your firstborn. For those good men of his country neither denied Him nor crucified Him, like Yisra'el your people; when they saw Him Who wrought miracles, Who was to be born from the Pearl, they believed on Him when they heard the report of Him. And the Pearl did not go forth into your youngest son ’Adrami. For those good men neither crucified Him nor denied Him when they saw the working of miracles and wonders by Him that was to be born from the Pearl, and afterwards they believed in Him through His disciples. “ Now the Pearl, which is to be your salvation, went forth from your belly and entered into the belly of ‘Iyorbe^m (Reḥav'am) your son, because of the wickedness of Yisra'el your people, who in their denial and in their wickedness crucified Him. But if He had not been crucified He could not have been your salvation. For He was crucified without sin, and He rose [again] without corruption. And for the sake of this He went down to you into Sheol, and tore down its walls, that He might deliver you and bring you out, and show mercy upon all of you. you in whose bellies thePearlshall be carried shall be saved with your wives, and none of you shall be destroyed, from your father Adam to him that shall come, your kinsman ‘Eyakem (Yo'aqim), and from Eve your mother, the wife of Adam, to Noach and his wife Tarmiza, to Tara (Terah) and his wife ’Aminya, and to Avraham and his wife Sara (Sarah), and to Yitsḥaq and his wife Rebka (Rebecca), and to Ya'aqov and his wife Leya (Leah), and to Yahuda and his bride Te‘emar (Tamar), and to your father and his wife Bersabeh (Bathsheba), and to thyself and Tarbana your wife, and to Reḥav'am your son and his wife ’Amisa, and to Ivo c akem (Yo'aqim) your kinsman, who is to come, and his wife Hanna. u None of you who shall have carried the Pearl shall be destroyed, and whether it be your men or your women, those who shall have carried the Pearl shall not be destroyed. For the Pearl shall be carried by the men who shall be righteous, and the women who have carried the Pearl shall not be destroyed, for they shall become pure through that Pearl, for it is qodesh and pure, and by it they shall be made qodesh and pure; and for its sake and for the sake of Tsiyon He has created the whole world. Tsiyon has taken up her abode with your firstborn and she shall be the salvation • __ of the people of Ethiopia for ever; and the Pearl shall be carried in the belly of h4yorbe c am (Reḥav'am) your son, and shall be the Deliverer of all the world. And when the appointed time has come this Pearl shall be born of your seed, for it is exceedingly pure, seven times purer than the sun. And the Redeemer shall come from the seat of His Godhead, and shall dwell upon her, and shall put on her flesh, and straightway you <D £ thyself shall announce to her what my Yahuah and your Yahuah speaks to me. “ I am Gavri'el the Malak, the protector of those who shall carry the Pearl from the body of Adam even to the belly of Hanna, so that I may keep from servitude and pollution you in which the Pearl shall dwell. And Mikha'el has been commanded to direct and keep Tsiyon wheresoever she goes, and Uriel shall direct and keep the wood of the thicket 1 which shall be the Cross of the Deliverer. And when your people in their envy have crucified Him, they shall rush upon His Cross because of the multitude of miracles that shall take place through it, and they shall be put to shame when they see its wonders. And in the last times a descendant of your son ’Adramis shall take the wood of the Cross, the third [means of] salvation that shall be sent upon the earth. The Malak Mikha'el is with Tsiyon, with Daviyd your firstborn, who has taken the throne of Daviyd your father. And I am with the pure Pearl for him that shall reign for ever, with Reḥav'am your second son; and the Malak Uriel is with your youngest son ’Ad-rami[s]. This have I told you, and you shall not make your heart to be sad because of your own salvation and that of your son.” And when Shəlomah had heard these words, his strength came [back] to him on his bed,.and he prostrated himself before the Malak of Elohim, and said, “ I give thanks to the Yahuah, my Yahuah and your Yahuah, O you radiant being of the spirit, because you hast made me to hear a word which filleth me with gladness, and because He does not cut off my soul from the inheritance of my father because of my sin, and because my repentance has been accepted after mine affliction, and because He has regarded my tears, and has heard my cry of grief, and has looked upon my affliction, and has not let me die in my grief, but has made me to rejoice before my soul shall go forth from my body. Henceforward [the thought of] dying shall not make me sorrowful, and I will love death as I love life. Henceforward I will drink of the bitter cup of death as if it were honey, and henceforward I will love the grave as if it were an abode of costly gems. And when I have descended and have been thrust down deep into Sheol because of my sins, I shall not suffer grief, because I have heard the word which has made me glad. And when I have gone down into the lowest depth of the deepest deep of Sheol, because of my sins, what will it matter to me? And if He crush me to powder in His hand and scatter me to the ends of the earth and to the winds because of my sins, it will not make me sorrowful, because I have heard the word that has made me to rejoice, and Elohim has not cut my soul off from the inheritance of my fathers. And my soul shall be with the soul of Daviyd my father, and with the soul of Avraham, and Yitsḥaq, and Ya'aqov my fathers. And the Deliverer shall come and shall bring us out from Sheol with all my fathers, and my kinsmen, old and young. And as for my children, they shall have upon earth three mighty Malakim to protect them. I have found the kingdom of the heavens, and the kingdom of the earth. Who is like to Elohim, the Merciful, Who showeth mercy to His handiwork and glorifieth it, Who forgiveth the sins of the sinners and Who does not blot out the memorial of the penitent? For His whole Person is forgiveness, and His whole Person is mercy, and to Him belongs praise.” Amen.
