  Chapter ninety eight, self indulgence of sinners, sin originated by Man, all
• 0:07
  sin recorded in Heaven Woes for the Sinners, chapter ninety eight. And now
• 0:13
  I swear unto you, to the wise and to the foolish, For ye
• 0:16
  shall have manifold experiences on the earth. For ye men shall put on more
• 0:21
  adornments than a woman, and colored garments, more than a virgin. In
• 0:26
  royalty, and in grandeur, and in power, and in silver, and
• 0:31
  in gold, and in purple, and in splendor, and in food,
• 0:35
  they shall be poured out as water. Therefore they shall be wanting in doctrine
• 0:40
  and wisdom, and they shall perish thereby, together with their possessions, and
• 0:44
  with all their glory and their splendor, And in shame, and in slaughter,
• 0:49
  and in great destitution, their spirits shall be cast into the furnace of
• 0:53
  fire. I have sworn unto you, ye sinners. As a mountain has
• 0:58
  not become a slave to hill, does not become the handmaid of a woman.
• 1:02
  Even so sin has not been sent upon the earth, but Man of
• 1:07
  himself has created it. And under a great curse shall they fall who commit
• 1:11
  it. And barrenness has not been given to the woman but on account of
• 1:15
  the deeds of her own hands, she dies without children. I have sworn
• 1:21
  unto you, ye sinners, by the Holy Great One, that all your
• 1:25
  evil deeds are revealed in the heavens, and that none of your deeds of
• 1:29
  oppression are covered and hidden. And do not think in your spirit, nor
• 1:33
  say in your heart that ye do not know, and that you do not
• 1:36
  see. That every sin is every day recorded in heaven in the presence of
• 1:40
  the Most High. From henceforth ye know that all your oppression, wherewith ye
• 1:46
  oppress, is written down every day till the day of your judgment. Woe
• 1:51
  to you, ye fools, for through your folly shall ye perish, and
• 1:55
  ye transgress against the wise and so good. Hap shall not be your poor.
• 2:00
  And now know ye that ye are prepared for the day of destruction.
• 2:05
  Wherefore do not hope to live, ye sinners, but ye shall depart and
• 2:08
  die, for ye know no ransom, for ye are prepared for the day
• 2:14
  of the Great Judgment, for the day of tribulation and great shame for your
• 2:16
  spirits. Woe to you, ye obstinate of heart, who work wickedness and
• 2:22
  eat blood. Whence have ye good things to eat and to drink and to
• 2:27
  be filled from all the good things which the Lord the Most High has placed
• 2:30
  in abundance on the earth. Therefore ye shall have no peace. Woe to
• 2:36
  you who love the deeds of unrighteousness. Wherefore do ye hope for good hap
• 2:40
  unto yourselves, Know that ye shall be delivered into the hands of the righteous,
• 2:46
  and they shall cut off your necks and slay you, and have no
• 2:49
  mercy upon you. Woe to you who rejoice in the tribulation of the righteous,
• 2:53
  for no grave shall be dug for you. Woe to you who said
• 2:58
  at naught the words of the righteous, for ye shall have no hope of
• 3:01
  life. Woe to you who write down, lying in godless words, for
• 3:07
  they write down their lives that men may hear them enact godlessly towards their neighbor.
• 3:12
  Therefore they shall have no peace, but die a sudden death. Chapter
• 3:16
  ninety nine. Woes pronounced on the godless, the lawbreakers, evil plight of
• 3:23
  sinners in the last days. Further woes Chapter ninety nine. Woe to you
• 3:29
  who were godlessness and glory in lying and extol them, Ye shall perish,
• 3:34
  and no happy life shall be yours. Woe to them who pervert the words
• 3:38
  of a brightness and transgress the eternal law, and transform themselves into what they
• 3:44
  were not, into sinners, they shall be trodden underfoot upon the earth.
• 3:49
  In those days. Make ready, ye righteous, to raise your prayers as
• 3:53
  a memorial, and place them as a testimony before the angels, that they
• 3:57
  may place the sin of the sinners for a memorial before the most High.
• 4:01
  In those days, the nations shall be stirred up, and the families of
• 4:05
  the nations shall arise on the day of destruction. And in those days the
• 4:11
  destitute shall go forth and carry off their children, and they shall abandon them,
• 4:15
  so that their children shall perish through them. Yea, they shall abandon
• 4:18
  their children that are still sucklings, and not return to them, and shall
• 4:23
  have no pity on their beloved ones. And again I swear to you,
• 4:28
  ye sinners, that sin is prepared for a day of unceasing bloodshed. And
• 4:32
  they who worship stones and grave images of gold and silver, and wood and
• 4:38
  stone and clay, and those who worship in pure spirits and demons and all
• 4:44
  kinds of idols not according to knowledge, shall get no manner of help from
• 4:47
  them. And they shall become godless by reason of the folly of their hearts,
• 4:53
  and their eyes shall be blinded through the fear of their hearts, and
• 4:56
  through visions in their dreams. Through these they shall become godless and fearful.
• 5:01
  For they shall have wrought all their work in a lie, and shall have
• 5:05
  worshiped a stone. Therefore, in an instant shall they perish. But in
• 5:11
  those days blessed are all they who accept the words of wisdom and understand them,
• 5:15
  and observe the paths of the Most High, and walk in the path
• 5:19
  of His righteousness, and become not godless with the godless, for they shall
• 5:24
  be saved. Woe to you who spread evil to your neighbors, for ye
• 5:29
  shall be slain in Shiel. Woe to you who make deceitful and false measures,
• 5:33
  and to them who cause bitterness on the earth, for they shall thereby
• 5:38
  be utterly consumed. Woe to you who build your houses through the grievous toil
• 5:44
  of others, and all their building materials are the bricks and stones of sin.
• 5:48
  I tell you ye shall have no peace. Woe to them who reject
• 5:54
  the measure and eternal heritage of their fathers, and whose souls follow after idols,
• 5:59
  for they shall have no rest. Woe to them who work on righteousness
• 6:02
  and help oppression, and slay their neighbors, until the day of the Great
• 6:06
  Judgment, For he shall cast down your glory and bring affliction on your hearts,
• 6:12
  and shall arouse his fierce indignation and destroy you all with the sword,
• 6:16
  and all the holy and righteous shall remember your sins. Chapter one hundred.
• 6:23
  The sinners destroy each other judgment of the fallen angels, the safety of the
• 6:28
  righteous further woes for the sinners. Chapter one hundred. And in those days,
• 6:33
  in one place, the fathers, together with their sons, shall be
• 6:36
  smitten, and brothers one with another, shall fall in death till the streams
• 6:42
  flow with their blood. For a man shall not withhold his hand from slaying
• 6:46
  his sons and his son's sons, and the sinner shall not withhold his hand
• 6:50
  from his honored brother. From dawn till sunset, they shall slay one another,
• 6:57
  and the horse shall walk up to the breast in the blood of selin,
• 7:00
  and the chariot shall be submerged to its height. In those days,
• 7:04
  the angels shall descend into the secret places and gather together into one place,
• 7:10
  all those who brought down sin, and the Most High will arise on that
• 7:14
  day of judgment to execute great judgment amongst sinners and over all the righteous and
• 7:19
  holy. He will appoint guardians from amongst the holy angels to guard them as
• 7:25
  the apple of an eye, until he makes an end of all wickedness and
• 7:29
  all sin. And though the righteous sleep a long sleep, they have naught
• 7:33
  to fear. And then the children of the youths shall see the wise in
• 7:38
  security, and shall understand all the words of this book, and recognize that
• 7:43
  their riches shall not be able to save them in the overthrow of their sins.
• 7:47
  Woe to you, sinners, on the day of strong anguish ye who
• 7:51
  afflict the righteous and burn them with fire, Ye shall be requited according to
• 7:57
  your works. Woe to you, ye obstinate of heart, who watch in
• 8:01
  order to devise wickedness. Therefore shall fear come upon you, and there shall
• 8:05
  be none to help you. Woe to you, ye, sinners, on
• 8:09
  account of the words of your mouth, and on account of the deeds of
• 8:13
  your hands, which your godlessness has wrought em blazing flames burning worse than fire,
• 8:18
  shall ye burn. And now know ye that from the angels he will
• 8:24
  inquire as to your deeds in heaven, from the sun and from the moon,
• 8:30
  and from the stars, in reference to your sins. Because upon the
• 8:33
  earth ye execute judgment on the righteous. And he will summon to testify against
• 8:39
  you every cloud and mist, and dew and rain, for they shall all
• 8:43
  be withheld because of you, from descending upon you, and they shall be
• 8:48
  mindful of your sins. And now give presents to the rain, that it
• 8:52
  be not withheld from descending upon you, Nor yet the dew, when it
• 8:58
  has received gold and silver from you you, that it may descend. When
• 9:01
  the hoar, frost and snow with their chilliness, and all the snow storms
• 9:05
  with all their plagues, fall upon you in those days, ye shall not
• 9:09
  be able to stand before them. Chapter one hundred and one exhortation to the
• 9:15
  fear of God. All nature fears him, but not the sinners. Chapter
• 9:20
  one hundred and one. Observe the heaven, ye children of Heaven, and
• 9:24
  every work of the Most High, and fear ye him, and work no
• 9:28
  evil in his presence. If he closes the windows of heaven and withholds the
• 9:33
  rain and the dew from descending on the earth on your account, what will
• 9:37
  ye do then, And if he sends his anger upon you because of your
• 9:41
  deeds, ye cannot petition him, for ye spake proud and insolent words against
• 9:46
  his righteousness. Therefore ye shall have no peace. And see ye not the
• 9:50
  sailors of the ships, how their ships are tossed to and fro by the
• 9:54
  waves, and are shaken by the winds, and are in sore trouble.
• 9:58
  And therefore they fear, because all their goodly possessions go upon the sea with
• 10:03
  them, and they have evil forebodings of heart, that the sea will swallow
• 10:07
  them and they will perish Therein are not the entire sea and all its waters,
• 10:11
  and all its movements the work of the Most High? And has he
• 10:16
  not set limits to its doings and confined it throughout by the sand? And
• 10:22
  at his reproof, it is afraid and dries up, and all its fish
• 10:26
  dye, and all that is in it. But ye sinners that are on
• 10:30
  the earth fear him not. Has He not made the heaven and the earth
• 10:33
  and all that is therein, who has given understanding and wisdom to everything that
• 10:39
  moves on the earth and in the sea. Do not the sailors of the
• 10:41
  ships fear the sea, Yet sinners fear not the most High Chapter one hundred
• 10:48
  and two. Terrors of the Day of Judgment, the adverse fortunes of the
• 10:52
  Righteous on the Earth Chapter one hundred and two. In those days when he
• 10:58
  hath brought a grievous fire upon you, whither will you flee? And where
• 11:01
  will ye find deliverance? And when he launches forth his word against you,
• 11:05
  will you not be affrighted and fear? And all the luminaries shall be affrighted
• 11:11
  with great fear, And all the earth shall be affrighted and tremble and be
• 11:13
  alarmed. And all the angels shall execute their commands and shall seek to hide
• 11:20
  themselves from the presence of the Great Glory, and all the children of earth
• 11:24
  shall tremble and quake. And ye sinners shall be cursed forever, and ye
• 11:28
  shall have no peace. Fear ye not, ye souls of the righteous.
• 11:33
  And be hopeful, ye that have died in righteousness, And grieve not if
• 11:37
  your soul into shioul has descended in grief, and that in your life your
• 11:41
  body fared not according to your goodness. But wait for the day of the
• 11:46
  judgment of sinners, and for the day of cursing and chastisement. And yet
• 11:50
  when ye die, the sinners speak over you. As we die, so
• 11:54
  die the righteous. And what benefit do they reap for their deeds? Behold,
• 12:00
  even as we so do, they die in grief and darkness. And
• 12:03
  what have they more than we? From henceforth we are equal? And what
• 12:07
  will they receive? And what will they see? Forever? Behold, they
• 12:11
  too have died, and henceforth forever they shall see no light. I tell
• 12:16
  you, ye, sinners, ye are content to eat and drink, and
• 12:20
  rob and sin, and strip men naked, and acquire wealth and see good
• 12:24
  days? Have ye seen the righteous? How their end falls out? That
• 12:30
  no manner of violence is found in them till their death. Nevertheless, they
• 12:33
  perished and became as though they had not been, and their spirits descended into
• 12:39
  shiol. In Tribulation, Chapter one hundred and three, Different destinies of the
• 12:43
  righteous and the sinners, Fresh objections of the sinners Chapter one hundred and three.
• 12:50
  Now, therefore I swear to you the righteous, by the glory of
• 12:54
  the great and honored and mighty one in Dominion, and by his greatness.
• 12:58
  I swear to you I know a mystery, and have read the heavenly tablets,
• 13:03
  and have seen the Holy books, and have found written therein and inscribed
• 13:07
  regarding them, that all goodness and joy and glory are prepared for them,
• 13:11
  and written down for the spirits of those who have died in righteousness, and
• 13:16
  that manifold good shall be given to you in recompense for your labors, and
• 13:20
  that your lot is abundantly beyond the lot of the living, and the spirits
• 13:26
  of you who have died in righteousness shall live and rejoice, and their spirits
• 13:31
  shall not perish, nor their memorial from before the face of the Great One,
• 13:35
  unto all the generations of the world, wherefore no longer fear their contumely.
• 13:41
  Woe to you, ye sinners, when ye have died, If ye
• 13:43
  die in the wealth of your sins, and those who are like you,
• 13:48
  say regarding you, blessed are the sinners. They have seen all their days,
• 13:52
  and how they have died in prosperity and in wealth, and have not
• 13:56
  seen tribulation or murder in their life, And they have died in honor,
• 14:00
  and judgment has not been executed on them during their life. Know ye that
• 14:05
  their souls will be made to descend into shil and they shall be wretched in
• 14:09
  their great tribulation, And into darkness and chains and a burning flame, where
• 14:15
  there is grievous judgment shall your spirits enter, And the great judgment shall be
• 14:20
  for all the generations of the world. Woe to you, for ye shall
• 14:24
  have no peace. Say not in regard to the righteous and good who are
• 14:28
  in life. In our troubled days, we have toiled laboriously and experienced every
• 14:33
  trouble, and met with much evil, and been consumed, and have become
• 14:37
  few, and our spirit small. And we have been destroyed, and have
• 14:41
  not found any to help us even with a word. We have been tortured
• 14:46
  and destroyed, and not hoped to see life from day to day. We
• 14:52
  hoped to be the head, and have become the tail. We've toiled laboriously
• 14:56
  and had no satisfaction in our toil, and we have become the food of
• 15:01
  the sinners and the unrighteous. And they have laid their yoke heavily upon us.
• 15:05
  They have had dominion over us that hated us and smote us. And
• 15:09
  to those that hated us, we have bowed our necks, but they pitied
• 15:13
  us. Not we desired to get away from them, that we might escape
• 15:16
  and be at rest, but found no place whereunto we should flee and be
• 15:20
  safe from them. And our complained to the rulers in our tribulation, and
• 15:26
  cried out against those who devoured us, But they did not attend to our
• 15:30
  cries, and would not harken to our voice. And they helped those who
• 15:33
  robbed us and devoured us, and those who made us few. And they
• 15:39
  concealed their oppression, and they did not remove from us the yoke of those
• 15:41
  that devoured us and dispersed us and murdered us. And they concealed their murder,
• 15:48
  and remembered not that they had lifted up their hands against us. Chapter
• 15:52
  one hundred and four Assurances given to the righteous, admonitions to sinners and the
• 15:58
  falsifiers of the Word of uprightness. Chapter one hundred and four. I swear
• 16:03
  unto you that in heaven the angels remember you for good before the glory of
• 16:07
  the Great One, and your names are written before the glory of the Great
• 16:11
  One. Be hopeful. For afore time ye were put to shame through ill
• 16:15
  and affliction. But now ye shall shine as the lights of heaven. You
• 16:21
  shall shine, and you shall be seen, and the portals of heaven shall
• 16:25
  be open to you, and in your cry cry for judgment, and it
• 16:29
  shall appear to you, for all your tribulation shall be visited, on the
• 16:33
  rulers, and on all who helped those who plundered you. Be hopeful,
• 16:37
  and cast not away your hopes, for ye shall have great joy as the
• 16:41
  angels of heaven. What shall ye be obliged to do. You shall not
• 16:45
  have to hide on the day of the great Judgment, and you shall not
• 16:48
  be found as sinners, And the eternal judgment shall be far from you for
• 16:53
  all the generations of the world. And now fear not ye righteous, when
• 16:59
  ye see see the sinners growing strong and prospering in their ways, Be not
• 17:03
  companions with them, but keep afar from their violence, For ye shall become
• 17:07
  companions of the hosts of heaven. And although ye sinners say all our sins
• 17:14
  shall not be searched out and be written down, nevertheless they shall write down
• 17:18
  all your sins every day. And now I show unto you that light and
• 17:23
  darkness day and night see all your sins. Be not godless in your hearts,
• 17:29
  and lie not and alter not the words of uprightness, nor charge with
• 17:33
  lying the words of the Holy Great One, nor take account of your idols.
• 17:38
  For all your lying and all your godlessness issue not in righteousness, but
• 17:44
  in great sin. And now I know this mystery, that sinners will alter
• 17:48
  and pervert the words of righteousness in many ways, and will speak wicked words,
• 17:52
  and lie and practice great deceits, and write books concerning their words.
• 17:59
  But when they write down truthfully all my words in their languages, and do
• 18:03
  not change or minish aught from my words, but write them all down truthfully,
• 18:07
  all that I first testified concerning them, then I know another mystery,
• 18:12
  that books will be given to the righteous and the wise to become a cause
• 18:17
  of joy and uprightness and much wisdom. And to them shall the books be
• 18:21
  given, and they shall believe in them and rejoice over them. And then
• 18:25
  shall all the righteous who have learnt there from all the paths of uprightness be
• 18:29
  recompensed. Chapter one hundred and five. God and the Messiah to dwell with
• 18:34
  man Chapter one hundred and five. In those days the Lord bid them to
• 18:40
  summon and testify to the children of earth concerning their wisdom. Show it unto
• 18:45
  them, for ye are their guides, and a recompense over the whole earth,
• 18:48
  for I and my son will be united with them forever in the paths
• 18:53
  of uprightness in their lives, and ye shall have peace. Rejoice, ye
• 18:57
  children of Uprightness. Amen. And of Section sixteen
