Who is the Scapegoat

Leviticus 16:7-10 states: And he shall take the two goats, and present them before the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the Lord, and the other lot for the scapegoat. And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the Lord’s lot fell, and offer him for a sin offering. But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before the Lord, to make an atonement with him, and to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness.

 Leviticus 16:20-22 states:  And when he hath made an end of reconciling the holy place, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat: And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness: And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.

I want to take you to where the scapegoat comes from. In certain translations in the bible it mentions a wilderness Azazel. Many people may not know who Azazel is so I wanted to give you scriptures from the book of Enoch to give you an understanding on Azazel and the significance of the scapegoat.

Enoch 6 states: And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born unto them beautiful and comely daughters. And the angels, the children of the heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another: ‘Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men and beget us children.’ And Semjâzâ, who was their leader, said unto them: ‘I fear ye will not indeed agree to do this deed, and I alone shall have to pay the penalty of a great sin.’ And they all answered him and said: ‘Let us all swear an oath, and all bind ourselves by mutual imprecations not to abandon this plan but to do this thing.’ Then sware they all together and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it. And they were in all two hundred; who descended ⌈in the days⌉ of Jared on the summit of Mount Hermon, and they called it Mount Hermon, because they had sworn and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it. And these are the names of their leaders: Sêmîazâz, their leader, Arâkîba, Râmêêl, Kôkabîêl, Tâmîêl, Râmîêl, Dânêl, Êzêqêêl, Barâqîjâl, Asâêl, Armârôs, Batârêl, Anânêl, Zaqîêl, Samsâpêêl, Satarêl, Tûrêl, Jômjâêl, Sariêl. These are their chiefs of tens.

So as we see hear Semjâzâ did not want to bear the sin alone. So all of the fallen angels took an oath to bear the sin that would come from their disobedience.

Enoch 8 states: And Azâzêl taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates, and made known to them the metals 〈of the earth〉 and the art of working them, and bracelets, and ornaments, and the use of antimony, and the beautifying of the eyelids, and all kinds of costly stones, and all colouring tinctures. 2. And there arose much godlessness, and they committed fornication, and they were led astray, and became corrupt in all their ways. Semjâzâ taught enchantments, and root-cuttings, Armârôs the resolving of enchantments, Barâqîjâl, (taught) astrology, Kôkabêl the constellations, Ezêqêêl the knowledge of the clouds, 〈Araqiêl the signs of the earth, Shamsiêl the signs of the sun〉, and Sariêl the course of the moon. And as men perished, they cried, and their cry went up to heaven.

Enoch 9 states: And then Michael, Uriel, Raphael, and Gabriel looked down from heaven and saw much blood being shed upon the earth, and all lawlessness being wrought upon the earth. And they said one to another: ‘The earth made without inhabitant cries the voice of their crying up to the gates of heaven. And now to you, the holy ones of heaven, the souls of men make their suit, saying, “Bring our cause before the Most High.”.’ And they said to the Lord of the ages: ‘Lord of lords, God of gods, King of kings, 〈and God of the ages〉, the throne of Thy glory (standeth) unto all the generations of the ages, and Thy name holy and glorious and blessed unto all the ages! Thou hast made all things, and power over all things hast Thou: and all things are naked and open in Thy sight, and Thou seest all things, and nothing can hide itself from Thee. Thou seest what Azâzêl hath done, who hath taught all unrighteousness on earth and revealed the eternal secrets which were (preserved) in heaven, which men were striving to learn: And Semjâzâ, to whom Thou hast given authority to bear rule over his associates. And they have gone to the daughters of men upon the earth, and have slept with the women, and have defiled themselves, and revealed to them all kinds of sins. And the women have borne giants, and the whole earth has thereby been filled with blood and unrighteousness. And now, behold, the souls of those who have died are crying and making their suit to the gates of heaven, and their lamentations have ascended: and cannot cease because of the lawless deeds which are wrought on the earth. And Thou knowest all things before they come to pass, and Thou seest these things and Thou dost suffer them, and Thou dost not say to us what we are to do to them in regard to these.’

Enoch 10 states: Then said the Most High, the Holy and Great One spake, and sent Uriel to the son of Lamech, and said to him: 〈Go to Noah〉 and tell him in my name “Hide thyself!” and reveal to him the end that is approaching: that the whole earth will be destroyed, and a deluge is about to come upon the whole earth, and will destroy all that is on it. And now instruct him that he may escape and his seed may be preserved for all the generations of the world.’ And again the Lord said to Raphael: ‘Bind Azâzêl hand and foot, and cast him into the darkness: and make an opening in the desert, which is in Dûdâêl, and cast him therein. And place upon him rough and jagged rocks, and cover him with darkness, and let him abide there for ever, and cover his face that he may not see light. And on the day of the great judgement he shall be cast into the fire. And heal the earth which the angels have corrupted, and proclaim the healing of the earth, that they may heal the plague, and that all the children of men may not perish through all the secret things that the Watchers have disclosed and have taught their sons. And the whole earth has been corrupted through the works that were taught by Azâzêl: to him ascribe all sin.’

The fallen received their punishment for their sin. Azâzêl had all sin ascribed to him. What this means is because of Azâzêl‘s sin he had all sin credited/assigned to him.

Have you ever noticed how when some people do wrong they blame their action on someone else (a sister, brother, friend, family member, satan, etc.) instead of taking responsibility for their own actions? They are using the people they blame as a scapegoat. They are casting their sins on them. So many are trying to justify and rationalize their sin. No matter how pretty you try to make it a sin is sin and wrong is wrong. Another good example of this can be found with Adam.

Genesis 3:6-13 states: And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden. And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.

Why didn’t Adam take responsibility for his actions? He blamed his wife and pretty much blames the Most High for giving him his wife. As to say if the Most High did not give him his wife he would not have sinned. Adam tried to place his sins on Eve as if she was his scapegoat. By telling the Most High it was the woman that the Most High gave him can be viewed as Adam making the Most High his scapegoat.

Leviticus 16:23-24, 26 states: And Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall put off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into the holy place, and shall leave them there: And he shall wash his flesh with water in the holy place, and put on his garments, and come forth, and offer his burnt offering, and the burnt offering of the people, and make an atonement for himself, and for the people.

And he that let go the goat for the scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward come into the camp.

Matthew 27:46 states And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

I mention the preceding verses to show that the scapegoat is unclean once the sins are attributed to them. As you can see Aaron had to cleanse himself and the person that brought the scapegoat to the wilderness had to cleanse themselves as well. Yahshua became disconnected from the Most High when he took on the sins of the world. Yahshua became unclean.

We must remember that the two goats together represent what Yahshua did for us, Yahshua “laid the iniquity of us all,” and examine into the root meaning of this word (“separation”), the interpretation of those who regard the one goat as representing the atonement made, and the other, that “for Azazel,” as representing the effect of the great work of atonement (the complete removal of sin), is certainly to be preferred. The one goat which was “for the Most High” was offered as a sin-offering, by which atonement was made. But the sins must also be visibly banished, and therefore they were symbolically laid by confession on the other goat, which was then “sent away for Azazel” into the wilderness. The form of this word indicates intensity, and therefore signifies the total separation of sin: it was wholly carried away. It was important that the result of the sacrifices offered by the high priest alone in the sanctuary should be embodied in a visible transaction, and hence the dismissal of the “scape-goat.” There was no concern in regards to what became of the scape-goat; the purpose of the scape-goat was to have all sin laid upon it and then it being sent into the wilderness bearing away the sins. As the goat “for the Most High” was to witness to the demerit of sin and the need of the blood of atonement, so the goat “for Azazel” was to witness to the efficacy of the sacrifice and the result of the shedding of blood in the taking away of sin.

We must all take responsibility for our own actions. There needs to be no excuses, no one else to blame for your actions. We will have to give an account for all that we have done in our lives. The Most High has given us free will, every decision we make is on us.

2 Corinthians 5:10 states: For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

Proverbs 28:13 states: He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

Galatians 6:5 states: For every man shall bear his own burden.

Ezekiel 18:30-32 states “Therefore, I will judge each of you, O people of Israel, according to your actions, says the Sovereign Lord. Repent, and turn from your sins. Don’t let them destroy you! Put all your rebellion behind you, and find yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. For why should you die, O people of Israel? I don’t want you to die, says the Sovereign Lord. Turn back and live!

SOUL tie

Breaking Soul Ties

Shalom Brothers and Sisters. Recently I have come across people that are questioning certain areas of their life. Relationships seem to always come up. I recommend building a relationship with the Most High because this is the most important relationship. You cannot have a lasting relationship with anyone else if you do not have a solid foundation with the Most High. For people that do have a solid foundation the next step is to purge yourself of all those you have had intimate relationships with. Sexual intimacy was designed for Marriage and consummated the covenant. A husband and wife come together to make the physical and spiritual bond and connection thus becoming one. You cannot sleep with any and everyone. That is a pure example of sexual immorality and you should not even be sleeping with anyone that you do not plan on being with for the rest of your life.

John 4:16 -18 states “Go and get your husband,” Jesus (Yahshua) told her. “I don’t have a husband,” the woman replied. Jesus said, “You’re right! You don’t have a husband— for you have had five husbands, and you aren’t even married to the man you’re living with now. You certainly spoke the truth!”

As we can see the Samaritan had five husbands. That is five different spirits being carried around. Now this can also extend to what is called being stuck on an “ex” as well. This is the situation where someone makes comparisons of the person that they are with to an ex and tries to implement certain characteristics of their ex into the person that they are with. This could be asking them to dress a certain way, work a certain job, change habits in their life, etc. An ex is an ex for a reason if the Most High moved you away from that person then why are you trying to hold on? Why go out of your way to have reminders of your ex or reach out to your ex to continue communicating with them? Not saying you cannot be friends with your ex; however when you want to keep reminiscing about old times and flirting with them then you are staying connected with them. If that is the case you should not waste someone else’s time because you are setting that relationship up for failure. Pray to the Most High to break all unnecessary soul ties. Pray that if the Most High has delivered you from someone to keep you delivered from them and to stop all urges for you to keep running back. You question why you cannot connect with someone? It is because you could still be connected to so many other people already. Adding intimacy to those connections just makes things so much harder. That is why you need to be careful who you are intimate with. That energy transfer creates a very strong soul tie. You can carry so much from others. You need a spiritual cleansing. You only need to have your soul tied to the Most High.

1 Corinthians 6:16 states: And don’t you realize that if a man joins himself to a prostitute, he becomes one body with her? For the Scriptures say, “The two are united into one.”

Meditation: My thoughts of the End

Leave a comment

solar flare

Shalom Brothers and Sisters. On 8-14-2015 I was meditating on a lot of things and I wrote down a few things. In this post I will include some things that I had written down.

I had a dream of a comet passing by the earth that caused the earth to shake. I was in my room watching TV and the earth suddenly appeared on the television. As I watched the earth a comet or an asteroid passed by the earth. I don’t remember if it hit the earth but I saw flames of fire surrounding the whole earth as the comet or asteroid passed by. The earth was shaking out of control. Then suddenly my deceased cat appeared in the room with me and I just watched my cat as he was walking around in my room. When I left the room he followed me into the bathroom and then the dream ended. I believe I had this dream sometime in 2013, the time around Comet Ison. Sometime after the dream I thought to myself, “Could this have represented the dead being resurrected? It was definitely an end time dream and a warning of what’s to come.  At the time of the rapture I know that the dead in Christ are raised first and then we who are alive are caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord. So that dream was leading me to the return of Yahshua. Back in 2012 I remember waking up and going to the bathroom and the craziest thing happened to me while I was in the bathroom. I looked at the bathroom tissue and I saw a rainbow glowing off of it. I thought I was tripping. I kept blinking my eyes to see if it was really there and it was. I guess God was trying to let me know about his promise and also open up my spiritual eyes.  After this I began to notice rainbows appearing everywhere in my home. So now I have a message to bring forth.

Listen, O’ Children of God, the chariots of fire will arrive soon in the sky and we will be taken up on eagle’s wings. We will fly away to the prepared place that Yahshua has prepared for us which is the holy mount of God, the living city of New Jerusalem. We will dwell with Yahshua forever and he will be our God forever and ever.

God’s children should be hoping for that blessed day of Yahshua’s return. Do you ever wonder when that day will be? Do you know that its possible that Yahshua could return on a Feast Day? Why else would he tell his people to remember the Sabbath day and to keep it holy? Why would we need to observe and remember his Holy Feast Days? Surely there is hidden manna in the scriptures. With all my getting I’m seeking understanding and I say to you please seek wisdom and you shall be given the answers to your questions.  O’Children of God knock and the door will be opened in heaven and wisdom who is seated among the angels will come forth to reveal mysteries to the God’s children.

The truth is that Yahshua is coming like a thief in the night to those who are not watching. Noah knew when the end was coming in his days and he was prepared in advance. He was prepared 1 week in advance to enter the ark before the flood. All the animals were gathered around the ark and two of each, male and female, entered the ark. Genesis 7:1-4 states, “And the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.  Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth. For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth. Book of Jasher Ch. 6:10 states, “And all the animals, and beasts, and fowls, were still there, and they surrounded the ark at every place, and the rain had not descended till seven days after.” It was a 7 day period from the time the animals came to the ark till the last day the flood came.  Genesis 7:10-11 states, “And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth. In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.” The 7 day period was from the 10th day of the 2nd month to the 17th day of the 2nd month. On the 7th day the flood waters came and that was the end in Noah’s day. It’s going to be the same pattern at the time of the Great Harvest. The harvest is the end of the world and the Bride or the elect will be prepared before this last great day. On the last day we will enter into the ark but this ark will be a chariot/ship coming down out of heaven and we will be caught up to the New Earth and the New Heaven and we will dwell in New Jerusalem. Heaven will open during the 7th trumpet and God’s people will be gathered together and hopefully our animals can be caught up to.

Many people are talking about this planet sized object coming closer to the earth. Could this be truth? Well I believe so. It is very important for people to discern the times that we are living in. Do you understand that there must be a sign in the heavens to represent Yahshua’s coming? Well we do know for a fact that there will be a sign of the Son of Man. People say that Nibiru is going to cause a lot of destruction on the earth and the bible states the earth will be destroyed by fire. So there is truth to this. People keep trying to predict the date of Nibiru’s arrival just like people are trying to predict the date of Yahshua’s second coming. Well it seems like Nibiru and Yahshua have a lot in common. Yahshua is coming soon just like Nibiru is coming towards the earth. Be wise and keep your lambs burning. Nibiru could open a portal in heaven. Keep watching and keep praying that you may be counted worthy to escape the things that are coming on the earth. The King is coming to rescue his Bride and we know this is a fact.

This is what I see in the spirit. The closer Nibiru gets the brighter its appearance will be. Yahshua’s rays of light is like the rays of the Sun. A Great Light will appear in the heavens and everyone on the earth will look towards the sky. He will send his angels to gather his people from one end of heaven to the other end of heaven and this will be the time of the Great Harvest. This will also be the time for the supper of the great God. Revelation 19:17-20 states, “And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;  That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.”

The earth before him looks like a Garden but as he passes by the earth will be made a desolate place. His flames of fire will burn up the earth and there will be a sound of great wailing and gnashing of teeth as the wicked will suffer the wrath of God. Revelation 14:19 states, “And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.” The earth will become the Lake of Fire after fire is thrown down upon the earth. Revelation 20:9-10 states, “And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.”

It’s going to be like a massive solar flare sweeping through the land as fire spreads quickly by his winds. Psalm 104:4 states, “The winds are your messengers; flames of fire are your servants.” His angels and saints will be carrying out the Lord’s judgments and Yahshua will be leading his mighty army. Joel 2:3-11 states, ”A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them. The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run. Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array. Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.  They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks: Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded. They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief. The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:  And the Lord shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the Lord is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?

The Sun of Righteousness is coming yet he is already here. Time in Space is such a mystery but the past, present and future exists at the same time. Righteousness is coming from his throne and judgment is sent forth as his righteous saints are coming with him to execute judgment on the wicked. Jude 1:14-15 states, “And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.” As the scripture states there is a time for war.

Ecclesiastes 3:8 states, “A time to love and a time to hate. A time for war and a time for peace.”

Look up saints for your redemption draweth nigh. Sounds of thunder will come forth from the sky as the last trumpet blows. Behold, the Lord is descending with the glory of his Father just like he descended on Mount Sinai. The Israelites were trembling at the sight of the Lord and the nations will also tremble when this day arrives. There will be a brightness coming from the midst of the clouds which will be the appearance of the chariots of fire. The chariots will cover the earth from one end of heaven to the other end of heaven. Ten Thousands upon Ten Thousands which will be millions of chariots will descend on earth. Revelation 5:11 states, “And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands.” And a great light will appear above his people and they will ascend up to the heavens to meet the Lord in his heavenly kingdom.

Can you visualize this day? Let’s get deeper. The chariots will appear in the dark clouds as a bright light. The fire in the clouds will be the chariots of the Most High and they will cover the whole face of the sky and the sun will be turned into darkness on that great day. Ezekiel 1:4 states, “And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire.” Lightning will come forth as the speed of light. Ezekiel 1:13-14 states, “As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning. And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.” Luke 17:24 states, “For as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other, so it will be on the day when the Son of Man comes.” Matthew 24:27 states, “For as the lightning flashes in the east and shines to the west, so it will be when the Son of Man comes.”

The angels will be sent forth as lightning flashes and the elect will be gathered in the chariots of fire in the twinkling of an eye. The righteous will be taken and the wicked will be left behind. The righteous are like Enoch and he is the 1st witness in these last days. Genesis 5:24 states, “Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away.” The separation of the wheat and the tares will take place at the sound of the 7th trumpet and the chariots of fire will separate the righteous from the wicked. The way the righteous will be caught up is by chariots of fire and Elijah is the 2nd witness in these end days. 2 Kings 2:11 states, “As they were walking along and talking, suddenly a chariot of fire appeared, drawn by horses of fire. It drove between the two men, separating them, and Elijah was carried by a whirlwind into heaven.” The Great Harvest will come at the end of the world and the harvesters are the angels in the chariots of fire. Are your eyes opened now? Mark 8:19 states, ‘You have eyes–can’t you see? You have ears–can’t you hear?’ Don’t you remember anything at all?” 2 Kings 6:17 states, “Then Elisha prayed, “O LORD, open his eyes and let him see!” The LORD opened the young man’s eyes, and when he looked up, he saw that the hillside around Elisha was filled with horses and chariots of fire.” Do you see how you will be delivered Israel? For those who have ears, let them hear what the spirit is saying.

Matthew 24:31 states, “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.” Yahshua will return at the sound of the 7th trumpet shortly after the 2 witnesses ministry is completed and this is when the gospel will have reached the ends of the earth. Surely you understand another reason why the 12 tribes of Israel has been scattered out to the 4 corners of the earth. Please understand the plan of God in its entirety. Isaiah 43:10 states, “”But you are my witnesses, O Israel!” says the LORD.” You are my servant. You have been chosen to know me, believe in me, and understand that I alone am God. There is no other God–there never has been, and there never will be.” Acts 1:8 states, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Now that the children of Israel has officially awakened to the truth, they will preach the truth to all nations and the true image of Christ will be revealed in these last days. The false image of Christ will be exposed and if you can’t receive the truth then you can’t receive Yahshua, the Light of the World. Those who hate the children of Israel are the same ones who changed his true image. 1 Maccabees 3:47-48 states, “Then they fasted that day, and put on sackcloth, and cast ashes upon their heads, and rent their clothes, And laid open the book of the law, wherein the heathen had sought to paint the likeness of their images.” The children of Israel will be restored in these last days and the truth will come forward to all the nations.

The 2 witnesses ministry shall last 1260 days and the perfect number of souls (144,000-The Bride) shall be made perfect and complete. Now there will be a multitude of people that no man can count that will be saved in the end after the Great Tribulation. We shall all wait for the blessed day which is the last day, the 1335th day, which is the day of Yahshua’s return. Then God will tabernacle with us and we will dwell with him forever. 1 Corinthians 15:52 states, “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” On the last day God’s people will shine like the brightness of the sun receiving their heavenly garment which is stored up in heaven. Matthew 17:1-2 states, “And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.” The angels who are riding in the chariots will appear over you and your body will be transfigured and your face will glow and you will ascend up to Mount Zion, the highest point in heaven. Hebrews 12:22 states, “But you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly.” The great light will appear above your head and you will have aligned with your heavenly body and the transformation shall be completed. You will receive and be clothed with a new body and you will be transported through a portal (a door/gate in heaven).

Once the elect is removed from the earth then God’s full wrath will come over the earth to the wicked. There will be a great earthquake at this time like never before. Revelation 16:18 states, “And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.”

13 Repentance Prayers of Sophia

The Thirteenth Repentance of Sophia

1 Comment

Shalom Brothers and Sisters. This is the thirteenth repentance prayer of Sophia.

Pistis Sophia-translation by G. S. R. Mead

*When verifying the psalm prayers it’s most likely one chapter forward*

CHAPTER 57

And Jesus continued again in the discourse and said unto his disciples: “It came to pass again thereafter that Pistis Sophia cried unto me, saying:

“O Light of lights, I have transgressed in the twelve æons, and have descended from them; wherefor have I uttered the twelve repentances, [one] for each æon. Now, therefore, O Light of lights, forgive me my transgression, for it is exceedingly great, because I have abandoned the regions of the height and have come to dwell in the regions of the chaos.’

“When then Pistis Sophia had said this, she continued again in the thirteenth repentance, saying:

The thirteenth repentance of Sophia.“‘1. Hearken unto me singing praises unto thee, O Light of lights. Hearken unto me uttering the repentance for the thirteenth æon, the region out of which I have come down, in order that the thirteenth repentance of the thirteenth æon may be accomplished,–those [æons]  which I have overstepped and out of which I have come down.

“‘2. Now, therefore, O Light of lights, hearken unto me singing praises unto thee in the thirteenth æon, my region out of which I have come down.

“‘3. Save me, O Light, in thy great mystery and forgive my transgression in thy forgiveness.

“‘4. And give unto me the baptism and forgive my sins and purify me from my transgression.

“‘5. And my transgression is the lion-faced power, which will never be hidden from thee; for because of it have I gone down.

“‘6. And I alone among the invisibles, in whose regions I was, have transgressed, and have gone down into the chaos. Moreover I have transgressed, that thy commandment may be accomplished.’

“This then Pistis Sophia said. Now, therefore, let him whom his spirit urgeth to understand her words, come forward and proclaim her thought.”

Martha came forward and said: “My Lord, my spirit urgeth me to proclaim the solution of that which Pistis Sophia hath spoken; thy power hath prophesied aforetime concerning it through David in the fiftieth Psalm, saying thus:

Martha interpreteth the thirteenth repentance from Psalm l.“‘1. Be gracious unto me, O God, according to thy great grace; according to the fulness of thy mercy blot out my sin.

“‘2. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity.

“‘3. And may my sin be ever present to thee,

“‘4. That thou mayest be justified in thy words and prevail when thou judgest me.’

“This is then the solution of the words which Pistis Sophia hath uttered.”

Jesus said unto her: “Well said, finely, Martha, blessed [one].”

CHAPTER 58

Jesus sendeth forth a light-power to help Sophia.And Jesus continued again in the discourse and said unto his disciples: “It came to pass then, when Pistis Sophia had said these words, that the time was fulfilled that she should be led out of the chaos. And of myself, without the First Mystery, I despatched out of myself a light-power, and I sent it down to the chaos, so that it might lead Pistis Sophia forth from the deep regions of the chaos, and lead [her] to the higher regions of the chaos, until the command should come from the First Mystery that she should be led entirely forth out of the chaos. And my light-power led Pistis Sophia up to the higher regions of the chaos. It came to pass then, when the emanations of Self-willed had noticed that Pistis Sophia was led forth into the higher regions of the chaos, that they also sped after her upwards, desiring to bring her again into the lower regions of the chaos. And my light-power, which I had sent to lead up Sophia out of the chaos, shone exceedingly. It came to pass then, when the emanations of Self-willed pursued Sophia,  when she had been led into the higher regions of the chaos, that she again sang praises and cried out unto me, saying:

Sophia uttereth a song of praise.

“‘1. I will sing praises unto thee, O Light, for I desired to come unto thee. I will sing thee praises, O Light, for thou art my deliverer.

“‘2. Leave me not in the chaos. Save me, O Light of the Height, for it is thou that I have praised.

“‘3. Thou has sent me thy light through thyself and hast saved me. Thou hast led me to the higher regions of the chaos.

“‘4. May the emanations of Self-willed which pursue me, sink down into the lower regions of the chaos, and let them not come to the higher regions to see me.

“‘5. And may great darkness cover them and darker gloom come over them. And let them not see me in the light of thy power, which thou hast sent unto me to save me, so that they may not again get dominion over me.

“‘6. And let not their resolution which they have formed, to take away my power, take effect for them. And as they have spoken against me, to take from me my light, take rather from them theirs instead of mine.

“‘7. And they have proposed to take away my whole light and have not been able to take it, for thy light-power was with me.

“‘8. Because they have taken counsel without thy commandment, O Light, therefore have they not been able to take away my light.

“‘9. Because I have had faith in the Light, I shall not be afraid; and the Light is my deliverer and I shall not fear.’

“Now, therefore, let him whose power is exalted, speak the solution of the words which Pistis Sophia hath uttered.”

And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished speaking these words unto his disciples, that Salome came forward and said: “My Lord, my power constraineth me to speak the solution of the words which Pistis Sophia hath uttered. Thy power hath prophesied aforetime through Solomon, saying:

Salome interpreteth the song of Sophia from the Odes of Solomon.

“‘1. I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, for thou art my God.

“‘2. Abandon me not, O Lord, for thou art! my hope.

“‘3. Thou hast given me thy vindication for naught, and I am saved through thee.

“‘4. Let them who pursue me, fall down and let them not see me.

“‘5. May a smoke-cloud cover their eyes and an air-mist darken them, and let them not see the day, so that they may not seize me.

“‘6. May their resolution be impotent, and may what they concoct come upon them.

“‘7. They have devised a resolution, and it hath not taken effect for them.

“‘8. And they are vanquished, although they be mighty, and what they have wickedly prepared is fallen upon them.

“‘9. My hope is in the Lord, and I shall not be afraid, for thou art my God, my Saviour.'”

It came to pass then, when Salome had finished saying these words, that Jesus said unto her: “Well said, Salome; and finely. This is the solution of the words which Pistis Sophia hath uttered.”

CHAPTER 59

The power sent by Jesus formeth a light-wreath on Sophia’s head.

And Jesus continued again in the discourse and said unto his disciples: “It came to pass then, when Pistis Sophia had finished saying these words in the chaos, that I made the light-power, which I had sent to save her, become a light-wreath on her head, so that from now on the emanations of Self-willed could not have dominion over her. And when it had become a light-wreath round her head, all the evil matters in her were shaken and all were purified in her. They perished and remained in the chaos, while the emanations of Self-willed gazed upon them and rejoiced. And the purification of the pure light which was in Pistis Sophia, gave power to the light of my light-power, which had become a wreath round her head.

“It came to pass then moreover, when it surrounded the pure light in Sophia, and her pure light did not depart from the wreath of the power of the light-flame, so that the emanations of Self-willed should not rob it from it,–when then this befell her, the pure light-power in Sophia began to sing praises. And she praised my light-power, which was a wreath round her head, and she sang praises, saying:

Sophia uttereth another song of praise

“‘1. The Light hath become a wreath round my head; and I shall not depart from it, so that the emanations of Self-willed may not rob it from me.

“‘2. And though all the matters be shaken, yet shall I not be shaken.

“‘3. And though all my matters perish and remain in the chaos,–those which the emanations of Self-willed see,–yet shall I not perish.

“‘4. For the Light is with me, and I myself am with the Light.’

“These words then Pistis Sophia uttered. Now, therefore, let him who understandeth the thought of these words, come forward and proclaim their solution.”

Mary, his mother, asketh and receiveth permission to speak.

Then Mary, the mother of Jesus, came forward and said: “My son according to the world, my God and Saviour according to the height, bid me proclaim the solution of the words which Pistis Sophia hath uttered.”

And Jesus answered and said: “Thou also, Mary, hast received form which is in Barbēlō, according to matter, and hast received likeness which is in the Virgin of Light, according to light, thou and the other Mary, the blessed one; and on thy account the darkness hath arisen, and moreover out of thee did come forth the material body in which I am, which I have purified and refined,–now, therefore, I bid thee proclaim the solution of the words which Pistis Sophia hath uttered.”

And Mary, the mother of Jesus, answered and said: “My Lord, thy light-power hath prophesied aforetime concerning these words through Solomon in the nineteenth Ode and said:

“‘1. The Lord is on my head as a wreath, and I shall not depart from him.

p. 98

Mary, his mother, interpreteth the song of Sophia from the xixth ode of Solomon.“‘2. The wreath in truth |117. is woven for me; and it hath caused thy twigs to sprout in me.

“‘3. For it is not like unto a wreath withered that sprouteth not. But thou art alive on my head and thou hast sprouted upon me.

“‘4. Thy fruits are full and perfect, filled with thy salvation.'”

Jesus commendeth his mother.It came to pass then, when Jesus had heard his mother Mary say these words, that he said unto her: “Well said, finely. Amēn, amēn, I say unto thee: They shall proclaim thee blessed from one end of the earth to the other; for the pledge of the First Mystery hath taken up its abode with thee, and through that pledge shall all from the earth and all from the height be saved, and that pledge is the beginning and the end.”

CHAPTER 60

The commandment of the First Mystery is fulfilled for taking Sophia entirely out of the chaos.And Jesus continued again in the discourse and said unto his disciples: “It came to pass when Pistis Sophia had uttered the thirteenth repentance,–in that hour was fulfilled the commandment of all the tribulations which were de-creed for Pistis Sophia for the fulfilment of the First Mystery, which was from the beginning, and the time had come to save her out of the chaos and lead her out from all the darknesses. For her repentance was accepted from her through the First Mystery; and that mystery sent me a great light-power out of the height, that I might help Pistis Sophia |118. and lead her up out of the chaos. The First Mystery and Jesus sent forth two light-powers to help Sophia.So I looked towards the æons into the height and saw that light-power which the First Mystery had sent me, that I might save Pistis Sophia out of the chaos. It came to pass, therefore, when I had seen it, coming forth from the æons and hastening down to me,–I was above the chaos,–that another light-power went forth out of me, that it too might help Pistis Sophia. And the light-power which had come from the height through the First Mystery, came down upon the light-power which had gone out of me; and they met together and became a great stream of light.”

When then Jesus had said this unto his disciples, he said: “Understand ye in what manner I discourse with you?”

Mary Magdalene interpreteth the mystery from Psalm lxxxiv.

Mary started forward again and said: “My Lord, I understand what thou sayest. Concerning the solution of this word thy light-power hath prophesied aforetime through David in the eighty-fourth Psalm, saying:

“’10. Grace and truth met together, and righteousness and peace kissed each other.

“’11. Truth sprouted forth out of the earth, and righteousness looked down from heaven.’

“‘Grace’ then is the light-power which hath come down through the First Mystery; for the First Mystery hath hearkened unto Pistis Sophia and hath had mercy on her in all her tribulations. ‘Truth’ on the other hand is the power which hath gone forth out of thee, for that thou hast fulfilled the truth, in order to save her out of the chaos. And ‘righteousness’ again is the power which hath come forth through the First Mystery, which will guide Pistis Sophia. And ‘peace’ again is the power which hath gone forth out of thee, so that it should enter into the emanations of Self-willed and take from them the lights which they have taken away from Pistis Sophia, that is, so that thou mayest gather them together into Pistis Sophia and make them at peace with her power. ‘Truth’ on the other hand is the power which went forth out of thee, when thou wast in the lower regions of the chaos. For this cause thy power hath said through David ‘Truth sprouted out of the earth,’ because thou wert in the lower regions of the chaos. ‘Righteousness’ on the other hand which hath ‘looked down from heaven,’–it is the power which hath come down from the height through the First Mystery and hath entered into Pistis Sophia.”

Pistis Sophia-translation by G. S. R. Mead

*When verifying the psalm prayers it’s most likely one chapter forward*

CHAPTER 55

Self-willed aideth his emanations and they again oppress Sophia.

And Jesus continued again in the discourse and said unto his disciples: “It came to pass then thereafter, that I drew near unto the chaos, shining very exceedingly, to take away the light from that lion-faced power. As I shone exceedingly, it was in fear and cried out to its self-willed god, that he should help it. And forthwith the self-willed god looked out of the thirteenth æon, and looked down into the chaos, exceedingly wrathful  and desiring to help his lion-faced power. And forthwith the lion-faced power, itand all its emanations, surrounded. Pistis Sophia, desiring to ‘take away the whole light in Sophia. It came to pass then, when they oppressed Sophia, that she cried to the height, crying unto me that I should help her. It came to pass then, when she looked to the height, that she saw Self-willed exceedingly wrathful, and she was in fear, and uttered the twelfth repentance because of Self-willed and his emanations. She cried on high unto me, saying:

The twelfth repentance of Sophia.

“‘1. O Light, forget not my praise-singing.

“‘2. For Self-willed and his lion-faced power have opened their chops against me and have acted craftily against me.

“‘3. They have surrounded me, desiring to take away my power, and have hated me, because I have sung praises unto thee.

“‘4. Instead of loving me they slandered me. But I sang praises.

“‘5. They plotted a plot to take away my power, because I have sung to thee praises, O Light; and hated me, because I have loved thee.

“‘6. Let the darkness come over Self-willed, and let the ruler of the outermost darkness abide at his right hand.

“‘7. And when thou passest sentence, take from him his power; and the deed which he hath plotted, to take from me my light,–mayest thou take his from him.

“‘8. And may all his powers of his light in him finish, and let another of the three triple-powers receive his sovereignty.

“‘9. May all the powers of his emanation be lightless and may his matter be without any light in it.

“’10. May his emanations remain in the chaos and not dare to go to their region. May their light in them die away and let them not go to the thirteenth æon, their region.

“’11. May the Receiver, the Purifier of the lights, purify all the lights which are in Self-willed, and take them from them.

“’12. May the rulers of the lower darkness rule over his emanations, and let no one give them shelter in his region; and let no one hearken to the power of his emanations in the chaos.

“’13. Let them take away the light in his emanations and blot out their name from the thirteenth æon, yea rather take his name for ever out of that region.

“’14. And on the lion-faced power let them bring the sin of him who emanated it, before the Light, and not wipe out the iniquity of the matter which hath brought him [sc. Self-willed] forth.

“’15. And may their sin be altogether before the Light eternally, and may they let them not look beyond [the chaos] and take their names out of all regions;

“’16. Because they have not spared me and have oppressed him whose light and whose power they have taken away, and also conformably with those who set me therein, they desired to take away my whole light from me.

“’17. They loved to descend to the chaos; so let them abide therein, and they shall not be brought up [therefrom] from now on. They desired not the region of Righteousness for dwelling-place, and they shall not be taken thither from now on.

‘”18. He put on darkness as a garment, and it entered into him as water, and it entered in into all his powers as oil.

“’19. Let him wrap himself into the chaos as into a garment, and gird himself with the darkness as with a leathern girdle for ever.

“’20. Let this befall them who have brought this upon me for the Light’s sake and have said: Let us take away her whole power.

“’21. But do thou, O Light, have mercy upon me for the sake of the mystery of thy name, and save me in the goodness of thy grace.

“’22. For they have taken away my light and my power; and my power hath inwardly tottered, and I could not stand upright in their midst.

“’23. I am become as matter which is fallen; I am tossed hither and thither as a demon in the air.

“’24. My power hath perished, because I possess no mystery; and my matter hath become dwindled because of my light, for they have taken it away.

“’25. And they mocked me; they looked at me, nodding at me.

“’26. Help me according to thy mercy.’

“Now, therefore, let him whose spirit is ready, come forward and utter the solution of the twelfth repentance of Pistis Sophia.”

CHAPTER 56

And Andrew came forward and said: “My Lord and Saviour, thy light-power hath prophesied aforetime through David concerning this repentance which Pistis Sophia hath uttered, and said in the one-hundred-and-eighth Psalm:

Andrew interpreteth the twelfth repentance from Psalm cviii.

“‘1. God, keep not silent at my praise-singing.

“‘2. For the mouths of the sinner and crafty have opened their chops against me and with crafty deceitful tongue have talked behind me.

“‘3. And they have surrounded me with words of hate and have fought against me without a cause.

“‘4. Instead of loving me they have slandered me. But I prayed.

“‘5. They showed evil against me for good and hate for my love.

“‘6. Set a sinner over him, and let the slanderer stand at his right hand.

“‘7. When sentence is passed upon him, may he go forth condemned and his prayer become sin.

“‘8. May his days be shortened and another receive his overseership.

“‘9. May his children become orphans and his wife a widow.

“’10. May his children be carried away and be driven forth and beg; may they be thrown out of their houses.

“’11. May the money-lender sift out all that he hath, |109. and may strangers plunder all his best efforts.

“’12. Let there be no man to back him, and no one to take pity on his orphans.

“’13. May his children be exterminated and his name blotted out in a single generation.

“’14. Let the sin of his fathers be remembered before the Lord, and the sin of his mother be not blotted out.

“’15. Let them be ever present to the Lord and his memory be rooted out from the earth;

“’16. In that he hath not thought of using mercy and hath persecuted a poor and wretched man and hath persecuted a sorry creature to slay him.

“’17. He loved cursing,–and it shall come unto him. He desired not blessing,–it shall stay far from him.

“’18. He clothed himself with cursing as with a vesture, and it entered into his bowels as water, and it was as oil in his bones.

“’19. May it be for him as a garment in which he shall be wrapped, and as a girdle with which he shall ever be girded.

“’20. This is the work of them who slander [me] before the Lord, and speak unlawfully against my soul.

“’21. But do thou, O Lord God, be gracious unto me; for thy name’s sake save me.

“’22. For I am poor and I am wretched; my heart is tumult within me.

“’23. I am carried away in the midst as a shadow which hath sunk down, and I am shaken out as grass-hoppers.

“’24. My knees have become weak from fasting, and my flesh is altered from [lack of] oil.

“’25. But I have become a mock unto them; they saw me and wagged their heads.

“’26. Help, O Lord God, and save me according to thy grace.

“’27. May they know that this is thy hand, and that thou, O Lord, hast fashioned them.’

“This is then the solution of the twelfth repentance which Pistis Sophia uttered, when she was in the chaos.”

CHAPTER 54

Jesus continued again in the discourse and said unto his disciples: “It came to pass then, when this lion-faced power saw me, how I drew nigh unto Pistis Sophia, shining very exceedingly, that it grew still more furious and emanated from itself a multitude of exceedingly violent emanations. When this then befell, Pistis Sophia uttered the eleventh repentance, saying:

The eleventh repentance of Sophia.

“‘1. Why hath the mighty power raised itself in evil?

“‘2. Its plotting taketh away the light from me all the time, and as sharp iron have they taken away power from me.

“‘3. I chose to descend into the chaos rather than to abide in the thirteenth æon, the region of Righteousness.

“‘4. And they desired to lead me craftily, in order to consume my whole light.

“‘5. For this cause then will the Light take away their whole light, and also their whole matter will be made naught. And it will take away their light and not suffer them to abide in the thirteenth æon, their dwelling-place, and will not have their name in the region of those who shall live.

“‘6. And the four-and-twenty emanations will see what hath befallen thee, O lion-faced power, and will be afraid and not be disobedient, but give the purification of their light.

“‘7. And they will see thee and will rejoice over thee and say: Lo, an emanation which hath not given the purification of its light, so that it may be saved, but boasted itself in the abundance of the light of its power, because it did not emanate from the power in it, and hath said: I will take away the light from Pistis Sophia, which will now be taken from it.’

“Now, therefore, let him in whom his power is raised, come forward and proclaim the solution of the eleventh repentance of Pistis Sophia.”

Then Salome came forward and said: “My Lord, concerning this thy light-power prophesied aforetime through David in the fifty-first Psalm, saying:

Salome interpreteth the repentance from Psalm li.

“‘1. Why doth the mighty [one] boast himself in his wickedness?

“‘2. Thy tongue hath studied unrighteousness all the day long; as a sharp razor hast thou practised craft.

“‘3. Thou lovedst wickedness more than goodness; thou lovedst to speak unrighteousness more than righteousness.

“‘4. Thou lovedst all words of submerging and a crafty tongue.

“‘5. Wherefor will God bring thee to naught utterly, and will uproot thee and drag thee out from thy dwelling-place, and will root out thy root and cast it away from the living. (Selah.)

“‘6. The righteous will see and be afraid, and they will mock at him and say:

“‘7. Lo, a man who made not God for his helper, but trusted to his great riches and was mighty in his vanity.

“‘8. But I am as a fruit-bearing olive-tree in the house of God. I have trusted in the grace of God from all eternity.

“‘9. And I will confess unto thee, for thou hast dealt faithfully with me; and I will wait on thy name, for it is auspicious in the presence of thy holy [ones].’

“This then is now, therefore, my Lord, the solution of the eleventh repentance of Pistis Sophia. While thy light-power hath roused me, I have spoken it according to thy desire.”

Jesus commendeth Salome.

It came to pass then, when Jesus had heard these words which Salome spake, that he said: “Well said, Salome. Amēn, amēn, I say unto you: I will perfect you in all mysteries of the kingdom of the Light.”

Pistis Sophia-translation by G. S. R. Mead

*When verifying the psalm prayers it’s most likely one chapter forward*

CHAPTER 52

Jesus commendeth James and promiseth the first place unto the disciples.

When James then had said this, Jesus said unto him: “Well said, finely, James. This is the solution of the ninth repentance of Pistis Sophia. Amēn, amēn, I say unto you: Ye shall be the first in the kingdom of heaven before all invisibles and all gods and rulers who are in the thirteenth æon and in the twelfth æon; and not only ye, but also every one who shall accomplish my mysteries.”

And when he had said this, he said unto them: “Understand ye in what manner I discourse with you?”

Mary interpreteth the words of Jesus.

Mary started forward again and said: “Yea, O Lord, this is what thou didst say unto us aforetime: ‘The last shall be first and the first shall be last.’ The first then, who were created before us, are the invisibles, for indeed they arose before mankind, they and the gods and the rulers; and the men who shall receive mysteries, will be first into the kingdom of heaven.”

Jesus said unto her: “Well said, Mary.”

The repentance of Sophia is accepted. Jesus is sent to help her.

Jesus continued again and said unto his disciples: “It came to pass then, when Pistis Sophia had proclaimed the ninth repentance, that the lion-faced power oppressed her again, desiring to take away all powers from her. She cried out again to the Light, saying:

“‘O Light, in whom I have had faith from the beginning, for whose sake I have endured these great pains, help me.’

“And in that hour her repentance was accepted from her. The First Mystery hearkened unto her, and I was sent off at his command. I came to help her, and led her up out of the chaos, because she had repented, and also because she had had faith in the Light and had endured these great pains and these great perils. She had been deluded through the god-like Self-willed, and had not been deluded through anything else, save through a light-power, because of its resemblance to the Light in which she had had faith. For this cause then was I sent forth at the command of the First Mystery to help her secretly. I did not however yet go to the region of the æons at all; but I passed down through the midst out of them, without any single power knowing it, either those of the interior of the interior or those of the exterior of the exterior, save only the First Mystery.

“It came to pass then, when I came into the chaos to help her, that she saw me, that I was understanding and shone exceedingly and was full of compassion for her. For I was not self-willed as the lion-faced power, which had taken away the light-power from Sophia, and had also oppressed her in order to take away from her the whole light in her. Sophia then saw me, that I shone ten-thousand times more than the lion-faced power, and that I was full of compassion for her. And she knew that I came out of the Height of heights, in whose light she had had faith from the beginning. Pistis Sophia then took courage and uttered the tenth repentance, saying:

The tenth repentance of Sophia.

“‘1. I have cried unto thee, O Light of lights, in my oppression and thou hast hearkened unto me.

“‘2. O Light, save my power from unjust and lawless lips and from crafty traps.

“‘3. The light which was being taken from me in crafty snaring, will not be brought unto thee.

“‘4. For the traps of Self-willed and the nooses of the merciless [one] are spread out.

“‘5. Woe unto me, that my dwelling was far off, and I was in the dwellings of the chaos.

“‘6. My power was in regions which are not mine.

“‘7. And I entreated those merciless [ones]; and when I entreated them, they fought against me without a cause.'”

CHAPTER 53

When then Jesus had said this unto his disciples, he said unto them: “Now, therefore, let him whom his spirit stirreth, come forward and speak the solution of the tenth repentance of Pistis Sophia.”

Peter answered and said: “O Lord, concerning this thy light-power prophesied aforetime through David in the one-hundred-and-nineteenth Psalm; saying:

Peter interpreteth the tenth repentance from Psalm cxix.

“‘1. I cried unto thee, O Lord, in my oppression, and thou hearkenest unto me.

“‘2. O Lord, save my soul from unjust lips and from crafty tongues.

“‘3. What will be given unto thee or what will be added unto thee with a crafty tongue?

“‘4. The arrows of the strong [one] are made sharp with the coal of the desert.

“‘5. Woe unto me, that my dwelling is far off, and I dwelt in the tents of Kedar.

“‘6. My soul hath dwelt in many regions as a guest.

“‘7. I was peaceful with them who hate peace; if I spake unto them, they fought against me without a cause.’

“This is now, therefore, O Lord, the solution of the tenth repentance of Pistis Sophia, which she hath uttered when the material emanations of Self-willed oppressed her, they and his lion-faced power, and when they oppressed her exceedingly.”

Jesus commendeth Peter.

Jesus said unto him: “Well said, Peter, and finely. This is the solution of the tenth repentance of Pistis Sophia.”

CHAPTER 50

Jesus commendeth Matthew and promiseth his disciples that they shall sit on thrones with him.

And when Jesus had heard these words, he said: “Finely [said], Matthew. Now, therefore, amēn, I say unto |89. you: When the perfect number is completed and the universe is raised hence, I will take my seat in the Treasury of the Light, and ye yourselves will sit on twelve light-powers, until we have restored all the orders of the twelve saviours to the region of the inheritances of every one of them.”

And when he had said this, he said: “Understand ye what I say?”

Mary interpreteth the words of Jesus. Mary came forward and said: “O Lord, concerning this matter thou hast said to us aforetime in similitude: ‘Ye have awaited with me in the trials, and I will bequeath unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath bequeathed it unto me, that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom; and ye shall sit on twelve thrones and judge the twelve tribes of Israel.'” He said unto her: “Well said, Mary.”

Jesus continued again and said unto his disciples: “It came to pass then thereafter, when the emanations of Self-willed oppressed Pistis Sophia in the chaos, that she uttered the ninth repentance, saying:

The ninth repentance of Sophia.

“‘1. O Light, smite down them who have taken away my power from me, and take away the power from them who have taken away mine from me.

“‘2. For I am thy power and thy light. Come and save me.

“‘3. Let great darkness cover my oppressors. Say unto my power: I am he who will save thee.

“‘4. Let all those who would take away my light from me utterly, lack their power. Let them face about unto the chaos and become powerless, who would take away my light from me utterly.

“‘5. Let their power be as dust, and let Yew, thy angel, smite them.

“‘6. And if they would go into the height, let darkness seize upon them and let them slip down and turn to the chaos. And let thy angel Yew pursue them and cast them down into the darkness below.

“‘7. For they have set a lion-faced power as a trap for me, although I have done them no ill, from which its light will be taken; and they have oppressed the power in me, which they will not be able to take away.

“‘8. Now, therefore, O Light, take away the purification from the lion-faced power without its knowing it,–the thought which Self-willed hath thought, to take away my light; take away his own and let the light be taken away from the lion-faced power, which set the trap for me.

“‘9. But my power will exult in the Light and rejoice that he will save it.

“’10. And all the portions of my power shall say: There is no saviour but thee. For thou wilt save me out of the hand of the lion-faced power, which hath taken away my power from me, and thou savest me out of the hands of them who have taken away my power and my light from me.

“’11. For they have risen up against me, lying against me and saying  that I know the mystery of the Light which is in the height, [the Light] in which I have had faith. And they have constrained me, [saying:] Tell unto us the mystery of the Light in the height,–that which I know not.

“’12. And they have requited me with all this ill because I have had faith in the Light of the height; and they have made my power lightless.

“’13. But when they constrained me, I sat in the darkness, my soul bowed down in mourning.

“’14. And do thou, O Light–for that reason sing I praise to thee–save me. I know that thou wilt save me because I fulfilled thy will ever since I was in my æon. I fulfilled thy will, as the invisibles who are in my region, and as my pair. And I mourned, looking unceasingly and searching for the Light.

“’15. Now, therefore, have all the emanations of Self-willed surrounded me and rejoiced over me and sore oppressed me without my knowing

p. 77

[paragraph continues] [them]. And they have fled away and ceased from me but have had no pity upon me.

“’16. They have returned again and made trial of me and they have oppressed me in great oppression and ground their teeth against me, desiring to take away my light from me utterly.

“’17. How long, therefore, O Light, dost thou suffer them, that they oppress me? Save my power from their evil thoughts and save me from the hand of the lion-faced power; for I alone of the invisibles am in this region.

“’18. I will sing praises unto thee, O Light, |92. in the midst of all who are gathered together against me, and I will cry unto thee in the midst of all who oppress me.

“’19. Now, therefore, O Light, let not them who hate me and desire to take away my power from me, rejoice over me–who hate me and flash their eyes against me, though I have not done anything unto them.

“’20. For indeed they have fawned upon me with sweet words, asking me concerning the mysteries of the Light which I know not, and have craftily spoken against me and been enraged against me, because I have had faith in the Light in the height.

“’21. They have opened their chops against me and said.: Well indeed, we will take from her her light.

“’22. Now, therefore, O Light, thou hast known their guile; suffer them not and let not thy help be far from me.

“’23. Quickly, O Light, vindicate and avenge me,

“’24. And give judgment on me according

p. 78

to thy goodness. Now, therefore, O Light of lights, let them not take away my light from me,

“’25. And let them not say in their heart: Our power is glutted with her light. And let them not say: We have consumed her power.

“’26. But rather let darkness come upon them, and let those who long to take away my light from me, become powerless, and let them be clothed with chaos and darkness, who say there: We will take away her light and her power.

“’27. Now, therefore, save me that I may rejoice, for I long for the thirteenth æon, the region of Righteousness, and |93. I shall say ever-more: May the light of thy angel Yew shine more and more.

“’28. And my tongue will sing praises to thee in thy gnosis my whole time in the thirteenth æon.’

 CHAPTER 51

It came to pass, when Jesus had finished saying these words unto his disciples, that he said unto them: “Who is sober among you, let him proclaim their solution.”

James came forward, kissed the breast of Jesus and said: “My Lord, thy spirit hath sobered me, and I am ready to proclaim their solution. Concerning them indeed thy power hath prophesied aforetime through David in the thirty-fourth Psalm, saying thus concerning the ninth repentance of Pistis Sophia:

James interpreteth the ninth repentance from Psalm xxxiv.

“‘1. Give sentence, O Lord, on them who do me injustice, and fight against them who fight against me.

“‘2. Lay hand on weapon and shield and stand up to help me.

“‘3. Draw forth a sword and conceal it [sic] from my oppressors. Say unto my soul: I am thy salvation.

“‘4. Let them be put to shame and abashed who strive after my soul; let them fall back and be put to shame who imagine evil against me.

“‘5. Let them be as chaff before the wind, and let the angel of the Lord pursue after them.

“‘6. Let their way be darkness and slippery, and let the angel of the Lord oppress them.

“‘7. For without cause have they hid a snare for me for their own spoiling, and they have mocked at my soul in vain.

“‘8. Let a snare come upon them which they know not, and let the net which they have hid for me, catch them, and let them fall into this snare.

“‘9. But my soul will exult in the Lord and rejoice in its salvation.

“’10. All my bones shall say: O Lord, who can be like unto thee?–thou who settest free the wretched from the hand of him who is stronger than him; and thou savest a wretched and poor [one] from the hands of them who spoil him.

“11. Unjust witnesses came forward and have asked me that which I knew not.

“’12. They have requited me evil for good and childlessness for my soul.

“13. But when they molested me, I clothed me in a sack and humbled my soul with fasting, and my prayer will return into my breast.

“’14. I was pleasing unto thee, as unto my neighbour and as unto my brother; and I humbled myself as one in mourning and as one who is sad.

“’15. They have rejoiced over me, and they are put to shame. Scourges have gathered themselves together against me and I knew not; they were cut off and were troubled.

“’16. They have brought me to trial and mocked me with mocking; they have ground their teeth against me.

“’17. O Lord, when wilt thou look upon me? Restore again my soul from their evil works and save my only one from the hands of the lions.

“’18. I will confess to thee, O Lord, in the great assembly, and I will sing praises to thee in the midst of a countless people.

“’19. Let not them who unjustly treat me as a foe, rejoice over me, who hate me without a cause and wink with their eyes.

“’20. For indeed they discourse with me with words of peace, though they plot wrath with craft.

“’21. They opened their chops wide against me and said: Well indeed, our eyes have filled our sight with him.

“’22. Thou hast seen, O Lord. Keep not silence, O Lord, withdraw not thyself from me.

“’23. Arise, O Lord, and give heed to my vindication, give heed to my vengeance, my God and my Lord.

“’24. Judge me, O Lord, according to thy justice; let them not rejoice over me, my God.

“’25. And let them not say: Well done, our soul. Let them not say: We have consumed him.

“’26. Let them be put to shame and be scorned, who rejoice at my mischance. Let them be clothed with shame and disgrace who speak boastingly against me.

“’27. Let them who desire my justification, exult and rejoice and let them who desire the peace of his slave, say: May the Lord be great and arise.

“’28. My tongue will exult over thy justification and over thy honour all the day long.'”
