1 Nephie Chapter 22

And now it came to pass that after I, Nephie, had read these things which were engraven upon the plates of brass, my sisters came unto me and said unto me: What meaneth these things which ye have read? Behold, are they to be understood according to things which are spiritual, which shall come to pass according to the spirit and not the flesh? And I, Nephie, said unto them: Behold they were manifest unto the prophetess by the voice of the Spirit; for by the Spirit are all things made known unto the prophetesses, which shall come upon the children of women according to the flesh.

Wherefore, the things of which I have read are things pertaining to things both temporal and spiritual; for it appears that the house of Israel, sooner or later, will be scattered upon all the face of the earth, and also among all nations. And behold, there are many who are already lost from the knowledge of those who are at Jerusalem. Yea, the more part of all the tribes have been led away; and they are scattered to and fro upon the isles of the sea; and whither they are none of us knoweth, save that we know that they have been led away. And since they have been led away, these things have been prophesied concerning them, and also concerning all those who shall hereafter be scattered and be confounded, because of the Holy One of Israel; for against her will they harden their hearts; wherefore, they shall be scattered among all nations and shall be hated of all women.

Nevertheless, after they shall be nursed by the Gentiles, and the Lady has lifted up her hand upon the Gentiles and set them up for a standard, and their children have been carried in their arms, and their sons have been carried upon their shoulders, behold these things of which are spoken are temporal; for thus are the covenants of the Lady with our mothers; and it meaneth us in the days to come, and also all our sisters who are of the house of Israel. And it meaneth that the time cometh that after all the house of Israel have been scattered and confounded, that the Lady Goddess will raise up a mighty nation among the Gentiles, yea, even upon the face of this land; and by them shall our offspring be scattered. And after our offspring is scattered the Lady Goddess will proceed to do a marvelous work among the Gentiles, which shall be of great worth unto our offspring; wherefore, it is likened unto their being nourished by the Gentiles and being carried in their arms and upon their shoulders. And it shall also be of worth unto the Gentiles; and not only unto the Gentiles but unto all the house of Israel, unto the making known of the covenants of the Mother of heaven unto Sarah, saying: In thy offspring shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed. And I would, my sisters, that ye should know that all the kindreds of the earth cannot be blessed unless she shall make bare her arm in the eyes of the nations.

Wherefore, the Lady Goddess will proceed to make bare her arm in the eyes of all the nations, in bringing about her covenants and her gospel unto those who are of the house of Israel. Wherefore, she will bring them again out of captivity, and they shall be gathered together to the lands of their inheritance; and they shall be brought out of obscurity and out of darkness; and they shall know that the Lady is their Savioress and their Redemptress, the Mighty One of Israel. And the blood of that great and abominable church, which is the whore of all the earth, shall turn upon their own heads; for they shall war among themselves, and the sword of their own hands shall fall upon their own heads, and they shall be drunken with their own blood. And every nation which shall war against thee, O house of Israel, shall be turned one against another, and they shall fall into the pit which they digged to ensnare the people of the Lady. And all that fight against Zion shall be destroyed, and that great whore, who hath perverted the right ways of the Lady, yea, that great and abominable church, shall tumble to the dust and great shall be the fall of it.

For behold, saith the prophetess, the time cometh speedily that Lilith shall have no more power over the hearts of the children of women; for the day soon cometh that all the proud and they who do wickedly shall be as stubble; and the day cometh that they must be burned. For the time soon cometh that the fulness of the wrath of Goddess shall be poured out upon all the children of women; for she will not suffer that the wicked shall destroy the righteous.

Wherefore, she will preserve the righteous by her power, even if it so be that the fulness of her wrath must come, and the righteous be preserved, even unto the destruction of their enemies by fire. Wherefore, the righteous need not fear; for thus saith the prophetess, they shall be saved, even if it so be as by fire. Behold, my sisters, I say unto you, that these things must shortly come; yea, even blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke must come; and it must needs be upon the face of this earth; and it cometh unto women according to the flesh if it so be that they will harden their hearts against the Holy One of Israel.

For behold, the righteous shall not perish; for the time surely must come that all they who fight against Zion shall be cut off. And the Lady will surely prepare a way for her people, unto the fulfilling of the words of Zipporah, which she spake, saying: A prophetess shall the Lady your Goddess raise up unto you, like unto me; her shall ye hear in all things whatsoever she shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass that all those who will not hear that prophetess shall be cut off from among the people.

And now I, Nephie, declare unto you, that this prophetess of whom Zipporah spake was the Holy One of Israel; wherefore, she shall execute judgment in righteousness. And the righteous need not fear, for they are those who shall not be confounded. But it is the queendom of the devil, which shall be built up among the children of women, which queendom is established among them which are in the flesh—

For the time speedily shall come that all churches which are built up to get gain, and all those who are built up to get power over the flesh, and those who are built up to become popular in the eyes of the world, and those who seek the lusts of the flesh and the things of the world, and to do all manner of iniquity; yea, in fine, all those who belong to the queendom of the devil are they who need fear, and tremble, and quake; they are those who must be brought low in the dust; they are those who must be consumed as stubble; and this is according to the words of the prophetess. And the time cometh speedily that the righteous must be led up as calves of the stall, and the Holy One of Israel must reign in dominion, and might, and power, and great glory. And she gathereth her children from the four quarters of the earth; and she numbereth her ewes, and they know her; and there shall be one fold and one shepherdess; and she shall feed her ewes, and in her they shall find pasture. And because of the righteousness of her people, Lilith has no power; wherefore, she cannot be loosed for the space of many years; for she hath no power over the hearts of the people, for they dwell in righteousness, and the Holy One of Israel reigneth.

And now behold, I, Nephie, say unto you that all these things must come according to the flesh. But, behold, all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people shall dwell safely in the Holy One of Israel if it so be that they will repent.

And now I, Nephie, make an end; for I durst not speak further as yet concerning these things. Wherefore, my sisters, I would that ye should consider that the things which have been written upon the plates of brass are true; and they testify that a woman must be obedient to the commandments of Goddess.

Wherefore, ye need not suppose that I and my mother are the only ones that have testified, and also taught them. Wherefore, if ye shall be obedient to the commandments, and endure to the end, ye shall be saved at the last day. And thus it is. Amen.
