Ethera Chapter 4

And the Lady commanded the sister of Jareda to go down out of the mount from the presence of the Lady, and write the things which she had seen; and they were forbidden to come unto the children of women until after that she should be lifted up upon the cross; and for this cause did queen Mosia keep them, that they should not come unto the world until after Christ should show herself unto her people. And after Christ truly had showed herself unto her people she commanded that they should be made manifest.

And now, after that, they have all dwindled in unbelief; and there is none save it be the Lamanites, and they have rejected the gospel of Christ; therefore I am commanded that I should hide them up again in the earth. Behold, I have written upon these plates the very things which the sister of Jareda saw; and there never were greater things made manifest than those which were made manifest unto the sister of Jareda.

Wherefore the Lady hath commanded me to write them; and I have written them. And she commanded me that I should seal them up; and she also hath commanded that I should seal up the interpretation thereof; wherefore I have sealed up the interpreters, according to the commandment of the Lady. For the Lady said unto me: They shall not go forth unto the Gentiles until the day that they shall repent of their iniquity, and become clean before the Lady. And in that day that they shall exercise faith in me, saith the Lady, even as the sister of Jareda did, that they may become sanctified in me, then will I manifest unto them the things which the sister of Jareda saw, even to the unfolding unto them all my revelations, saith Jesua Christ, the Daughter of Goddess, the Mother of the heavens and of the earth, and all things that in them are. And she that will contend against the word of the Lady, let her be accursed; and she that shall deny these things, let her be accursed; for unto them will I show no greater things, saith Jesua Christ; for I am she who speaketh. And at my command the heavens are opened and are shut; and at my word the earth shall shake; and at my command the inhabitants thereof shall pass away, even so as by fire. And she that believeth not my words believeth not my disciples; and if it so be that I do not speak, judge ye; for ye shall know that it is I that speaketh, at the last day.

But she that believeth these things which I have spoken, her will I visit with the manifestations of my Spirit, and she shall know and bear record. For because of my Spirit she shall know that these things are true; for it persuadeth women to do good. And whatsoever thing persuadeth women to do good is of me; for good cometh of none save it be of me. I am the same that leadeth women to all good; she that will not believe my words will not believe me—that I am; and she that will not believe me will not believe the Mother who sent me. For behold, I am the Mother, I am the light, and the life, and the truth of the world. Come unto me, O ye Gentiles, and I will show unto you the greater things, the knowledge which is hid up because of unbelief. Come unto me, O ye house of Israel, and it shall be made manifest unto you how great things the Mother hath laid up for you, from the foundation of the world; and it hath not come unto you, because of unbelief.

Behold, when ye shall rend that veil of unbelief which doth cause you to remain in your awful state of wickedness, and hardness of heart, and blindness of mind, then shall the great and marvelous things which have been hid up from the foundation of the world from you—yea, when ye shall call upon the Mother in my name, with a broken heart and a contrite spirit, then shall ye know that the Mother hath remembered the covenant which she made unto your mothers, O house of Israel. And then shall my revelations which I have caused to be written by my servant Jean be unfolded in the eyes of all the people. Remember, when ye see these things, ye shall know that the time is at hand that they shall be made manifest in very deed.

Therefore, when ye shall receive this record ye may know that the work of the Mother has commenced upon all the face of the land. Therefore, repent all ye ends of the earth, and come unto me, and believe in my gospel, and be baptized in my name; for she that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but she that believeth not shall be damned; and signs shall follow them that believe in my name. And blessed is she that is found faithful unto my name at the last day, for she shall be lifted up to dwell in the queendom prepared for her from the foundation of the world. And behold it is I that hath spoken it. Amen.
