Why the Great Tribulations?

To God's believers, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and the Son Jesus Christ, and specifically those who were taught in a Pre-Tribulation 'Rapture', I'll ask these questions:

Why the Great Tribulations?
Does God want to simply punish those who believe in another God, those who don't believe in anything, those who are lukewarm?

No, I don't think so, he has another purpose. If you believe he is a just God, a merciful God, a God who Love's his children (his creation), then there must be another reason.
It's to multiply the harvest of souls. Many will come to their knees and ask for Mercy, they will recognize God and his Son Jesus Christ.
They will turn to him for salvation. They will listen to his 144000 preaching the True Gospel. And hence will be saved.
Now for those who are anchored in the Pre-Tribulation stories, it is soon. The 144000 get a 'first installment' this coming month.
They will be sealed by November 2024. After that, you guessed it, it Starts.
I pray you all understand God's, Jesus Christ's purpose of the Great Tribulations, or the first 3 and 1/2 years.

My understanding is this:
Christians who will endure in faith to the End will be saved.
We will then see and realize the abomination of this desolation. By then, a quarter (1/4) of the population of the Earth will be killed. If this part happened today, it would translate into nearly 2 Billions dead.
The Son perdition will be revealed: Anti-Christ
The Gospel of the Kingdom will then be preached: The Two Witnesses. The 144000?
The Fourth Trumpet will sound. Then, the Sun and the Moon will loose their light. The stars will fall from Heaven, and Heaven will shake.
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
That's when 'the Rapture' will occur. First, the dead in Christ will rise again. The harvest of souls will be complete, time to get out of dodge. Up, Up, Up you go.
Revelation 7:14 ...These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Three Trumpets have yet to sound
Another 3 1/2 years, to punish and destroy the wicked, the murderers, and all of Satan's minions.
The events from the Fifth to the Seventh Trumpet are so utterly NOT from this world.
Even the best Sci-fi or horror Hollywood movie doesn’t even come close.

Matthew 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Revelation 5:1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

Revelation 6:7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

Revelation 7:1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

Revelation 8:1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.

12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.
13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!

Revelation 9 is like a horror sci-fi movie, after the 5th trumpet.

What happens to your soul when you die?

Book of Enoch Chapter XXII (22)

1. From thence I proceeded to another spot, where I saw on the west a great and lofty mountain, a strong rock, and four delightful places.
2. Internally it was deep, capacious, and very smooth; as smooth as if it had been rolled over : it was both deep and dark to behold.
3. Then Raphael, one of the holy angels who were with me, answered and said. These are the delightful places where the spirits, the souls of the dead, will be collected ; for them were they formed ; and here will be collected all the souls of the sons of men.
4. These places, in which they dwell, shall they occupy until the day of judgment, and until their appointed period.
5. Their appointed period will be long, even until the great judgment. And I saw the spirits of the sons of men who were dead ; and their voices reached to heaven, while they were accusing.
6. Then I inquired of Raphael, an angel who was with me, and said, Whose spirit is that, the voice of which reaches to heaven, and accuses ?
7. He answered, saying, This is the spirit of Abel, who was slain by Cain his brother; and who will accuse that brother, until his seed be destroyed from the face of the earth;
8. Until his seed perish from the seed of the human race.
9. At that time therefore I inquired respecting him, and respecting the general judgment, saying. Why is one separated from another ? He answered. Three separations have been made between the spirits of the dead, and thus have the spirits of the righteous been separated,
10. Namely, by a chasm, by water, and by light above it.
11. And in the same way likewise are sinners separated when they die, and are buried in the earth judgment not overtaking them in their lifetime.
12. Here their souls are separated. Moreover, abundant is their suffering until the time of the great judgment, the castigation, and the torment of those who eternally execrate, whose souls are punished and bound there for ever.
13. And thus has it been from the beginning of the world. Thus has there existed a separation between the souls of those who utter complaints, and of those who watch for their destruction, to slaughter them in the day of sinners.
14. A receptacle of this sort has been formed for the souls of unrighteous men, and of sinners ; of those who have completed crime, and associated with the impious, whom they resemble. Their souls shall not be annihilated in the day of judgment, neither shall they arise from this place. Then I blessed God,
15. And said, Blessed be my Lord, the Lord of glory and of righteousness, who reigns over all for ever and for ever.

The Book of Enoch: Chapters XXI - XXIV

Chapter XXI

1. Then I made a circuit to a place in which nothing was completed.
2. And there I beheld neither the tremendous workmanship of an exalted heaven, nor of an established earth, but a desolate spot, prepared, and terrific.
3. There, too, I beheld seven stars of heaven bound in it together, like great mountains, and like a blazing fire. I exclaimed. For what species of crime have they been bound, and why have they been removed to this place ? Then Uriel, one of the holy angels who was with me, and who conducted me, answered : Enoch, wherefore dost thou ask ; wherefore reason with thyself, and anxiously inquire ? These are those of the stars which have transgressed the commandment of the most high God ; and are here bound, until the infinite number of the days of their crimes be completed.
4. From thence I afterwards passed on to another terrific place
5. Where I beheld the operation of a great fire blazing and glittering, in the midst of which there was a division. Columns of fire struggled together to the end of the abyss, and deep was their descent. But neither its measurement nor magnitude was I able to discover ; neither could I perceive its origin. Then I exclaimed, How terrible is this place, and how difficult to explore
6. Uriel, one of the holy angels who was with me, answered and said: Enoch, why art thou alarmed and amazed at this terrific place, at the sight of this place of suffering ? This, he said, is the prison of the angels and here they are kept forever.

Chapter XXII

1. From thence I proceeded to another spot, where I saw on the west a great and lofty mountain, a strong rock, and four delightful places.
2. Internally it was deep, capacious, and very smooth; as smooth as if it had been rolled over : it was both deep and dark to behold.
3. Then Raphael, one of the holy angels who were with me, answered and said. These are the delightful places where the spirits, the souls of the dead, will be collected ; for them were they formed ; and here will be collected all the souls of the sons of men.
4. These places, in which they dwell, shall they occupy until the day of judgment, and until their appointed period.
5. Their appointed period will be long, even until the great judgment. And I saw the spirits of the sons of men who were dead ; and their voices reached to heaven, while they were accusing.
6. Then I inquired of Raphael, an angel who was with me, and said, Whose spirit is that, the voice of which reaches to heaven, and accuses ?
7. He answered, saying, This is the spirit of Abel, who was slain by Cain his brother; and who will accuse that brother, until his seed be destroyed from the face of the earth;
8. Until his seed perish from the seed of the human race.
9. At that time therefore I inquired respecting him, and respecting the general judgment, saying. Why is one separated from another ? He answered. Three separations have been made between the spirits of the dead, and thus have the spirits of the righteous been separated,
10. Namely, by a chasm, by water, and by light above it.
11. And in the same way likewise are sinners separated when they die, and are buried in the earth judgment not overtaking them in their lifetime.
12. Here their souls are separated. Moreover, abundant is their suffering until the time of the great judgment, the castigation, and the torment of those who eternally execrate, whose souls are punished and bound there for ever.
13. And thus has it been from the beginning of the world. Thus has there existed a separation between the souls of those who utter complaints, and of those who watch for their destruction, to slaughter them in the day of sinners.
14. A receptacle of this sort has been formed for the souls of unrighteous men, and of sinners ; of those who have completed crime, and associated with the impious, whom they resemble. Their souls shall not be annihilated in the day of judgment, neither shall they arise from this place. Then I blessed God,
15. And said, Blessed be my Lord, the Lord of glory and of righteousness, who reigns over all for ever and for ever.

Chapter XXIII

1. From thence I went to another place, towards the west, unto the extremities of the earth.
2. Where I beheld a fire blazing and running along without cessation, which intermitted its course neither by day nor by night ; but continued always the same.
3. I inquired, saying, What is this, which never ceases ?
4. Then Raguel, one of the holy angels who were with me, answered,
5. And said, This blazing fire, which thou beholdest running towards the west, is that of all the luminaries of heaven.

Chapter XXIV

1. I went from thence to another place, and saw a mountain of fire flashing both by day and night. I proceeded towards it ; and perceived seven splendid mountains, which were all different from each other.
2. Their stones were brilliant and beautiful ; all were brilliant and splendid to behold and beautiful ; was their surface. Three mountains were towards the east, and strengthened by being placed one upon another; and three were towards the south, strengthened in a similar manner. There were likewise deep valleys, which did not approach each other. And the seventh mountain was in the midst ofthem. In length they all resembled the seat of a throne, and odoriferous trees surrounded them.
3. Among these there was a tree of an unceasing smell ; nor of those which were in Eden was there one of all the fragrant trees which smelt like this. Its leaf, its flower, and its bark never withered, and its fruit was beautiful.
4. Its fruit resembled the cluster of the palm. I exclaimed, Behold ! this tree is goodly in aspect, pleasing in its leaf, and the sight of its fruit is delightful to the eye. Then Michael, one of the holy and glorious angels who were with me, and one who presided over them, answered,
5. And said : Enoch, why dost thou inquire respecting the odour of this tree ?
6. Why art thou inquisitive to know it?
7. Then I, Enoch, replied to him, and said, Concerning everything I am desirous of instruction, but particularly concerning this tree.
8. He answered me, saying. That mountain which thou beholdest, the extent of whose head resembles the seat of the Lord, will be the seat on which shall sit the holy and great Lord of glory, the everlasting King, when he shall come and descend to visit the earth with goodness.
9. And that tree of an agreeable smell, not one of carnal odour, there shall be no power to touch, until the period of the great judgment. When all shall be punished and consumed for ever, this shall be bestowed on the righteous and humble. The fruit of this tree shall be given to the elect. For towards the north life shall be planted in the holy place, towards the habitation of the everlasting King.
10. Then shall they greatly rejoice and exult in the Holy One. The sweet odour shall enter into their bones ; and they shall live a long life on the earth, as thy forefathers have lived ; neither in their days shall sorrow, distress, trouble, and punishment afflict them.
11. And I blessed the Lord of glory, the everlasting King, because He has prepared this tree for the saints, formed it, and declared that He would give it to them.

The Book of Enoch: Chapters VIII - XI

Chapter VIII

1. Moreover Azazyel taught men to make swords, knives, shields, breastplates, the fabrication of mirrors and the workmanship of bracelets and ornaments, the use of paint, the beautifying of the eyebrows, the use of stones of every valuable and select kind, and of all sorts of dyes, so that the world became altered.
2. Impiety increased; fornication multiplied; and they transgressed and corrupted all their ways.
3. Amazarak taught all the sorcerers, and dividers of roots
4. Armors taught the solution of sorcery ;
5. Barkayal taught the observers of the stars ;
6. Akibeel taught signs;
7. Tamiel taught astronomy ;
8. And Asaradel taught the motion of the moon.
9. And men, being destroyed, cried out; and their voice reached to heaven.

Chapter IX

1. Then Michael and Gabriel, Kaphael, Suryal, and Uriel, looked down from heaven, and saw the quantity of blood which was shed on earth, and all the iniquity which was done upon it, and said one to another. It is the voice of their cries ;
2. The earth deprived of her children has cried even to the gate of heaven.
3. And now to you, ye holy ones of heaven, the souls of men complain, saying, Obtain Justice for us with the Most High. Then they said to their Lord, the King, Thou art Lord of lords, God of gods. King of kings. The throne of thy glory is for ever and ever, and for ever and ever is thy name sanctified and glorified. Thou art blessedand glorified.
4. Thou hast made all things; thou possessest power over all things ; and all things are open and manifest before thee. Thou beholdest all things, and nothing can be concealed from thee.
5. Thou hast seen what Azazyel has done, how he as taught every species of iniquity upon earth, and has disclosed to the world all the secret things which are done in the heavens.
6. Samyaza also has taught sorcery, to whom thou hast given authority over those who are associated with him. They have gone together to the daughters of men ; have lain with them ; have become polluted
7. And have discovered crimes to them.
8. The women likewise have broughtforth giants.
9. Thus has the whole earth been filled with blood and with iniquity.
10. And now behold the souls of those who are dead, cry out.
11. And complain even to the gate of heaven.
12. Their groaning ascends ; nor can they escape from the unrighteousness which is committed on earth. Thou knowest all things, before they exist.
13. Thou knowest these things, and what has been done by them yet thou dost not speak to us.
14. What on account of these things ought we to do to them ?

Chapter X

1. Then the Most High, the Great and Holy One spoke,
2. And sent Arsayalalyur to the son of Lamech,
3. Saying, Say to him in my name. Conceal thyself.
4. Then explain to him the consummation which is about to take place; for all the earth shall perish the waters of a deluge shall come over the whole earth, and all things which are in it shall be destroyed.
5. And now teach him how he may escape, and how his seed may remain in all the earth.
6. Again the Lord said to Eaphael, Bind Azazyel hand and foot ; cast him into darkness ; and opening the desert which is in Dudael, cast him in there.
7. Throw upon him hurled and pointed stones, covering him with darkness
8. There shall he remain for ever ; cover his face, that he may not see the light. 9. And in the great day of judgment let him be cast into the fire.
10. Restore the earth, which the angels have corrupted ; and announce life to it, that I may revive it.
11. All the sons of men shall not perish in consequence of every secret, by which the Watchers have destroyed, and which they have taught, their offspring.
12. All the earth has been corrupted by the effects of the teaching of Azazyel. To him therefore ascribe the whole crime.
13. To Gabriel also the Lord said. Go to the biters, to the reprobates, to the children of fornication ; and destroy the children of fornication, the offspring of the Watchers, from among men ; bring them forth, and excite them one against another. Let them perish by mutual slaughter ; for length of days shall not be theirs.
14. They shall all entreat thee, but their fathers shall not obtain their wishes respecting them ; for they shall hope for eternal life, and that they may live, each of them, five hundred years.
15. To Michael likewise the Lord said, Go and announce his crime to Samyaza, and to the others who are with him, who have been associated with women, that they might be polluted with all their impurity. And when all their sons shall be slain, when they shall see the perdition of their beloved, bind them for seventy generations underneath the earth, even to the day of judgment, and of consummation, until the judgment, the effect of which will last for ever, be completed.
16. Then shall they be taken away into the lowest depths of the fire in torments; and in confinement shall they be shut up for ever.
17. Immediately after this shall he, together with them, burn and perish; they shall be bound until the consummation of many generations.
18. Destroy all the souls addicted to dalliance, and the offspring of the Watchers, for they have tyrannized over mankind.
19. Let every oppressor perish from the face of the earth
20. Let every evil work be destroyed
21. The plant of righteousness and of rectitude appear, and its produce become a blessing.
22. Righteousness and rectitude shall be for ever planted with delight.
23. And then shall all the saints give thanks, and live until they have begotten a thousand children, while the whole period of their youth, and their sabbaths shall be completed in peace. In those days all the earth shall be cultivated in righteousness; it shall be wholly planted with trees, and filled with benediction every tree of delight shall be planted in it.
24. In it shall vines be planted ; and the vine which shall be planted in it shall yield fruit to satiety ; every seed, which shall be sown in it, shall produce for one measure a thousand ; and one measure of olives shall produce ten presses of oil.
25. Purify the earth from all oppression, from all injustice, from all crime, from all impiety, and from all the pollution which is committed upon it. Exterminate them from the earth.
26. Then shall all the children of men be righteous, and all nations shall pay me divine honours, and bless me ; and all shall adore me.
27. The earth shall be cleansed from all corruption, from every crime, from all punishment, and from all suffering; neither will I again send a deluge upon it from generation to generation for ever.

Chapter XI

1. In those days I will open the treasures of blessing which are in heaven, that I may cause them to descend upon earth, and upon all the works and labour of man.
2. Peace and equity shall associate with the sons of men all the days of the world, in every generation of it.

Enoch, the oldest manuscript said to be.

Enoch lived 365 years, never died but was taken. His life is recorded to be in and around 3200 BC. His manuscript more than likely kept by his son Methuselah, could have been transferred to Noah who survived the Flood. Noah was the grand-son of Methuselah. Methuselah however, died during the Flood.

The righteous and the wicked

1:1 The blessing of Enoch: with which he blessed the elect and the righteous who would be present on the day of tribulation at the time of the removal of all the wicked ones.
1:2 And Enoch, the blessed and righteous man of YAHWEH took up his parable while his eyes were open and he saw, and said, “This is a kodesh vision from the heavens which the malakim showed me: and I heard from them everything and I understood. I look not for this generation but for the distant one that is coming. I speak about the elect ones and concerning them.”
1:3 And I took up with a parable saying, “YAHWEH of the universe, the Kodesh Great One, will come forth from HIS dwelling.”
1:4 “And from there HE will march upon Mount Sinai and appear in HIS camp emerging from heaven with a mighty power. And everyone shall be afraid, and Watchers shall quiver.”
1:5 “And great fear and trembling shall seize them unto the ends of the earth.”
1:6 “Mountains and high places will fall down and be frightened. And high hills shall be made low; and they shall melt like a honeycomb before the flame.”
1:7 “And earth shall be rent asunder; and all that is upon the earth shall perish. And there shall be a judgment upon all, including the righteous.”
1:8 “And to all the righteous HE will grant shalom. HE will preserve the elect, and loving-kindness shall be upon them. They shall all belong to YAHWEH and they shall prosper and be blessed; and the Light of YAHWEH shall shine unto them.”
1:9 “Behold, He will arrive with ten million of the kodesh ones in order to execute judgment upon all. He will destroy the wicked ones and censure all flesh on account of everything that they have done, that which the sinners and the wicked ones committed against HIM.”

Spirits of the Angels who Lead the People into Error

19:1 And Uriel said to me, “Here shall stand in many different appearances the spirits of the angels which have united themselves with women. They have defiled the people and will lead them into error so that they will offer sacrifices to the demons as unto gods, until the great Day of Judgment in which they shall be judged till they are finished.”

The Gathering Of Souls Till The Day Of Judgment

22:3 At that moment, Rufael, one of the kodesh malakim, who was with me, responded to me; and he said to me, “These beautiful corners are here in order that the spirits of the souls of the dead should assemble into them -they are created so that the souls of the children of the people should gather here.”
22:4 “They prepared these places in order to put them i.e. the souls of the people there until the day of their judgment and the appointed time of the great judgment upon them.”
22:5 I saw the spirits of the children of the people who were dead, and their voices were reaching unto heaven until this very moment.
22:6 I asked Rufael, the angel who was with me, and said to him, “This spirit, the voice of which is reaching into heaven like this and is making suit, whose spirit is it?”
22:7 And he answered me, saying, “This is the spirit which had left Abel, whom Cain, his brother, had killed; it continues to sue him until all of Cain's seed is exterminated from the face of the earth, and his seed has disintegrated from among the seed of the people.”
22:8 At that moment, I raised a question regarding him and regarding the judgment of all, “For what reason is one separated from the other?”
22:9 And he replied and said to me, “These three have been made in order that the spirits of the dead might be separated. And in the manner in which the souls of the righteous are separated by this spring of water with light upon it,”
22:10 “in like manner, the sinners are set apart when they die and are buried in the earth and judgment has not been executed upon them in their lifetime,”
22:11 “upon this great pain, until the great Day of Judgment -and to those who curse there will be plague and pain forever, and the retribution of their spirits. They will bind them there forever -even if from the beginning of the world.”
22:12 “And in this manner is a separation made for the souls of those who make the suit and those who disclose concerning destruction, as they were killed in the days of the sinners.”
22:13 “Such has been made for the souls of the people who are not righteous, but sinners and perfect criminals; they shall be together with other criminals who are like them, whose souls will not be killed on the day of judgment but will not rise from there.”
22:14 At that moment I blessed YAHWEH of Splendor and I said, “Blessed be my Sovereign Ruler, YAHWEH of righteousness who rules forever.”

Coming judgment of the wicked

38:1 The first thing: When the congregation of the righteous shall appear, sinners shall be judged for their sins, they shall be driven from the face of the earth,

38:2 and when the Righteous One shall appear before the face of the righteous, those elect ones, their deeds are hung upon YAHWEH of Hosts, HE shall reveal light to the righteous and the elect who dwell upon the earth, where will the dwelling of the sinners be? and where the resting place of those who denied the NAME of YAHWEH of the Spirits? It would have been better for them not to have been born.

38:3 When the secrets of the Righteous One are revealed, HE shall judge the sinners; and the wicked ones will be driven from the presence of the righteous and the elect,

38:4 and from that time, those who possess the earth will neither be rulers nor princes, they shall not be able to behold the faces of the kodesh ones, for the Light of YAHWEH of Hosts has shined upon the face of the kodesh, the righteous, and the elect.

38:5 At that moment, kings and rulers shall perish, they shall be delivered into the hands of the righteous and kodesh ones,

38:6 and from thenceforth no one shall be able to induce YAHWEH of Hosts to show them mercy, for their life is annihilated.

Lot of unbelievers: new heaven and new earth.

45:1 This is the second parable concerning those who deny the NAME of YAHWEH of

the Hosts and the congregation of the kodesh ones.

45:2 Neither will they ascend into heaven, nor will they reach the ground; such will be the lot of the sinners, who will deny the NAME of YAHWEH of Hosts, those who in this manner will be preserved for the day of burden and tribulation.

45:3 On that day, my Elect One shall sit on the seat of splendor and make a selection of their deeds, their resting places will be without number, their souls shall be firm within them when they see my Elect One, those who have appealed to my splendid name.

45:4 On that day, I shall cause my Elect One to dwell among them, I shall transform heaven and make it a blessing of light forever.

45:5 I shall also transform the earth and make it a blessing, and cause my Elect One to dwell in her. Then those who have committed sin and crime shall not set foot in her.

45:6 For in shalom I have looked with favor upon my righteous ones and given them mercy, and have caused them to dwell before me. But sinners have come before me so that by judgment I shall destroy them from before the face of the earth.

The Son of Man

46:1 At that place, I saw the One to whom belongs the time before time. And his head was white like wool, and there was with him another individual, whose face was like that of a human being. His countenance was full of splendor like that of one among the kodesh malakim.

46:2 And I asked the one -from among the malakim -who was going with me, and who had revealed to me all the secrets regarding the One who was born of human beings, “Who is this, and from whence is he who is going as the prototype of the Before -Time?”

46:3 And he answered me and said to me, “This is the Son of Man, to whom belongs righteousness, and with whom righteousness dwells. And He will open all the hidden storerooms; for YAHWEH of Hosts has chosen Him, and He is destined to be victorious before YAHWEH of Hosts in eternal uprightness.”

46:4 “This Son of Man whom you have seen is the One who would remove the kings and the mighty ones from their comfortable seats and the strong ones from their thrones. He shall loosen the reins of the strong and crush the teeth of the sinners.”

46:5 “He shall depose the kings from their thrones and kingdoms. For they do not extol and magnify HIM, and neither do they obey HIM, the source of their kingship.”

46:6 “The faces of the strong will be slapped and be filled with shame and gloom. Their dwelling places and their beds will be worms. They shall have no hope to rise from their beds, for they do not extol the NAME of YAHWEH of Hosts.”

46:7 “And they have become the judges of the stars of heaven; they raise their hands to reach YAHWEH the Most High while walking upon the earth and dwelling in her. They manifest all their deeds in oppression; all their deeds are oppression. Their power depends upon their wealth. And their devotion is to the gods which they have fashioned with their own hands. But they deny the NAME of YAHWEH of Hosts.”

46:8 “Yet they like to congregate in HIS houses and with the faithful ones who cling to YAHWEH of Hosts.

48:3 At that hour, that Son of Man was given a name, in the presence of YAHWEH of Hosts, the Before Time; even before the creation of the sun and the moon, before the creation of the stars, He was given a name in the presence of YAHWEH of Hosts.

48:4 He will become a staff for the righteous ones in order that they may lean on Him and not fall. He is the Light of the gentiles and He will become the hope of those who are sick in their hearts.

48:5 All those who dwell upon the earth shall fall and worship before Him; they shall magnify, bless, and sing the NAME of YAHWEH of Hosts.

48:6 For this purpose He became the Chosen One; He was concealed in the presence of YAHWEH of Hosts prior to the creation of the world, and for eternity.

48:7 And He has revealed the wisdom of YAHWEH of Hosts to the righteous and the kodesh ones, for He has preserved the portion of the righteous because they have hated and despised this world of oppression together with all its ways of life and its habits in the NAME of YAHWEH of Hosts; and because they will be saved in His Name and it is His good pleasure that they have life.

48:8 In those days, the kings of the earth and the mighty landowners shall be humiliated on account of the deeds of their hands. Therefore, on the day of their misery and weariness, they will not be able to save themselves.

48:9 I shall deliver them into the hands of MY elect ones like grass in the fire and like lead in the water, so they shall burn before the face of the kodesh ones and sink before their sight, and no place will be found for them.

48:10 On the day of their weariness, there shall be an obstacle on the earth and they shall fall on their faces; and they shall not rise up again, nor anyone be found who will take them with his hands and raise them up. For they have denied YAHWEH of Hosts and HIS Messiah. Blessed be the NAME of YAHWEH of Hosts!

49:1 So wisdom flows like water and majesty is measureless before Him forever and ever.

49:2 For His might is in all the mysteries of righteousness, and oppression will vanish like a shadow having no foundation. The Elect One stands before YAHWEH of Hosts; His splendor is forever and ever and His power is unto all generations.

49:3 In Him dwells the spirit of wisdom, the spirit which gives thoughtfulness, the spirit of knowledge and strength, and the spirit of those who have fallen asleep in righteousness.

49:4 He shall judge the secret things. And no one will be able to utter vain words in His presence. For He is the Elect One before YAHWEH of Hosts according to HIS good pleasure.

50:1 In those days, there will be a change for the kodesh and the righteous ones and the Light of days shall rest upon them; and splendor and honor shall be given back to the kodesh ones, on the day of weariness.

50:2 He heaped evil upon the sinners; but the righteous ones shall be victorious in the NAME of YAHWEH of Hosts. He will cause the others to see this so that they may repent and forsake the deeds of their hands.

50:3 There shall not be honor unto them in the NAME of YAHWEH of Hosts. But through His Name they shall be saved, and YAHWEH of Hosts shall have mercy upon them, for HIS mercy is considerable.

50:4 HE is righteous in HIS judgment and in the splendor that is before HIM. Oppression cannot survive HIS judgment; and the unrepentant in HIS presence shall perish.

50:5 YAHWEH of Hosts has said that from henceforth HE will not have mercy on them.

51:1 In those days, Sheol will return all the deposits which she had received and hell will give back all that which it owes.

51:2 And He shall choose the righteous and the kodesh ones from among the risen dead, for the day when they shall be selected and saved has arrived.

51:3 In those days, the Elect One shall sit on My throne, and from the conscience of his mouth shall come out all the secrets of wisdom, for YAHWEH of Hosts has given them to Him and magnified Him.

51:4 In those days, mountains shall dance like rams; and the hills shall leap like kids satiated with milk. And the faces of all the malakim in heaven shall glow with joy,

because on that day the Elect One has arisen.

51:5 And the earth shall rejoice; and the righteous ones shall dwell upon her and the elect ones shall walk upon her.

52:1 After those days, in the same place where I had seen all the secret visions, having been carried off in a wind vehicle and taken to the west, my eyes saw there all the secret things of heaven and the future things.

52:2 There were there a mountain of iron, a mountain of copper, a mountain of silver, a mountain of gold, a mountain of colored metal, and a mountain of lead.

52:3 And I asked the malak who was going with me, saying, “What are these things which I have seen in secret?”

52:4 And he said to me, “All these things which you have seen happen by the authority of HIS Messiah so that He may give orders and be praised upon the earth.”

52:5 Then this malak of shalom answered, saying to me, “Wait a little, and all secret things which encircle YAHWEH of Hosts will be revealed unto you.”

52:6 “As for these mountains which you have seen with your own eyes -the mountain of iron, the mountain of copper, the mountain of silver, the mountain of gold, the mountain of colored metal, and the mountain of lead -all of them, in the presence of the Elect One, will become like a honeycomb that melts before fire, like water that gushes down from the top of such mountains, and become helpless by His feet.”

52:7 “It shall happen in those days that no one shall be saved either by gold or by silver; and no one shall be able to escape.”

52:8 “There shall be no iron for war, nor shall anyone wear a breastplate. Neither bronze nor tin shall be to any avail or be of any value; and there will be no need of lead whatsoever.”

52:9 “All these substances will be removed and destroyed from the surface of the earth when the Elect One shall appear before the face of YAHWEH of Hosts.”

The Eternal Light of the Righteous and Elect Ones

58:1 And I began to speak another parable concerning the righteous and the elect:

58:2 “Blessed are you, righteous and elect ones, for splendor is your portion.”

58:3 The righteous ones shall be in the light of the sun and the elect ones in the Light of Eternal Life which has no end, and the days of the life of the kodesh ones cannot be numbered.

58:4 They shall seek light and find righteousness with YAHWEH of Hosts. Shalom be to the righteous ones in the Shalom of the Eternal YAHWEH!

58:5 After this, it shall be told to the kodesh ones in heaven that they should scrutinize the mysteries of righteousness, the gift of faith. For the sun has shined upon the earth and darkness is over.

58:6 There shall be a light that has no end, and they shall not have to count days anymore. For already darkness has been destroyed, light shall be permanent before YAHWEH of Hosts, and the light of uprightness shall stand firm forever and ever before YAHWEH of Hosts.

The Elect One and Judgement

61:8 “HE placed the Elect One on the throne of splendor; and He shall judge all the works of the kodesh ones in heaven above, weighing in the balance their deeds.”

62:1 Thus YAHWEH commanded the kings, the governors, the high officials, and the landlords and said, “Open your eyes and lift up your eyebrows -if you are able to recognize the Elect One!”

62:2 And YAHWEH of Hosts has sat down on the throne of HIS splendor, and the spirit of righteousness has been poured out upon Him. The Word of His mouth will do the sinners in; and all the oppressors shall be eliminated from before His face.

62:3 On the day of judgment, all the kings, the governors, the high officials, and the landlords shall see and recognize Him -how He sits on the throne of HIS splendor, and righteousness is judged before Him, and that no nonsensical talk shall be uttered in His presence.

62:4 Then pain shall come upon them as on a woman in travail with birth pangs -when she is giving birth the child enters the mouth of the womb and she suffers from childbearing.

62:5 One half portion of them shall glance at the other half; they shall be terrified and dejected; and pain shall seize them when they see that Son of Man sitting on the throne of His splendor.

62:6 These kings, governors, and all the landlords shall try to bless, honor, and extol Him who rules over everything, Him who has been concealed.

62:7 For the Son of Man was concealed from the beginning and YAHWEH the Most High One preserved Him in the presence of HIS power; then HE revealed Him to the kodesh and the elect ones.

62:8 The congregation of the kodesh ones shall be planted, and all the elect ones shall stand before Him.

62:9 On that day, all the kings, the governors, the high officials, and those who rule the earth shall fall down before Him on their faces, and worship and raise their hopes in that Son of Man; they shall beg and plead for mercy at His feet.

62:10 But YAHWEH of Hosts HIMSELF will cause them to be frantic, so that they shall rush and depart from His presence. Their faces shall be filled with shame, and their countenances shall be crowned with darkness.

62:11 So HE will deliver them to the malakim for punishments in order that vengeance shall be executed on them -oppressors of HIS children and HIS elect ones.

62:12 It shall become quite a scene for MY righteous and elect ones. They shall rejoice over the kings, the governors, the high officials, and the landlords because the wrath of YAHWEH of Hosts shall rest upon them and HIS sword shall obtain from them a sacrifice.

62:13 The righteous and elect ones shall be saved on that day; and from thenceforth they shall never see the faces of the sinners and the oppressors.

62:14 YAHWEH of Hosts will abide over them; they shall eat and rest and rise with that Son of Man forever and ever.
