Chapter concerning the mystery of Divinity. The Father was not before The Son, neither The Son before The Father, neither The Holy Spirit before The Father and The Son. They existed before the creation of the world. The three names of their three (beings) mean a God equal in their divinity and one and only was their existence before heaven and earth.
As for the forth heaven, He made it also out of fire. Its colours are those of a pearl from the sea. It is made of chalcedony*, with twelve pearls and one of its gates is ten thousand times bigger than this world. And if only one of its gates is bigger than this world, how marvelously large must it be in its entirety! Him that was sent before me tells me: Only God Himself knows its dimensions. Twelve angels are guarding it. The main gate has various colours; its windows (are of the colour) of rays of sun, its ceiling (?) elevated, and its roof painted in red. Its quadrature (Four walls?) looks like the ferem tree which has the colour of the sky and its windows(?) like the moon, when it is in its full form.
Since he says: We have taken water and created heaven, has water thus been created before heaven? The Scriptures do not state that water was made before the heaven. And us, what can we add! Only He knows His secrets!
On the second day, God created a firmament and the column of wind. Then, beneath the earth, he made (one or) four recipients for the winds, (with) small windows, one hundred to the right and one hundred to the left, and a gate. By all this and by all these openings, we have discovered Your wonders, oh Lord.
Among the trees in the garden, there were some which resembled the transparent hail, others that looked like a flame of fire; others resembled the sun and were sparkling. The trees in the garden were not like those of this earth; they were taller than the tallest mountains of about fifteen cubits, in Holy Spirit cubits. One would find there all sorts of beautiful things, that eyes have never seen and ears have never heard, that do not go up to the heart of man, and that God had prepared for those who love Him.
As for Satan, His bravest creature among angels, he raised against Him and attacked Him. But The Most High gave orders to Michael and he obeyed Him. He rushed forward, as well as his army of cavaliers 120.000 in number, of 600.000 fighters equipped with shields, 700.000 breast plated cavaliers riding horses of fire, 700.000 warriors armed with weapons of fire, 800.000 equipped with two-edged swords of fire, 1.000.000 that were launching stones, 500.000 with axes, 300.000 carrying the cross of light and 400.000 with flaming torches. This great army was in heavens.
This bird has its meaning through The Son. Moreover, the bees conceive one time, while their queen is singing. Let us admire that and say: Your wonders are authentic. These birds that are impregnated by the sun, are fertilized so by the sun which is in the heavens; the pearls of the sea that are given birth to by the bird, are the faithful peoples; the 12 pearls that are birthed first are the twelve apostles, the 70 that are mentioned next are the 70 disciples and the unique pearl is the unique faith. The fish is the world; the five birds are the five books of the Pentateuch, the three birds are the three books of Iyasu (Joshua), Judges and Ruth, and the 39, are the 39 books of the prophets.
Let us move to the story of the people of the flood. In those times, the angels came down from the sky and when they took the body of a man, the madness of sin took hold of them; they were expelled from the mysteries they have seen in heaven.
Whilst understanding this revelation about the mystery, man would shout: You can do everything; there is nothing that is impossible for You. As Solomon says it: From the ancient times, you resemble all sorts of things. But the priests, even if they are ordered above all things, do not all apply to consider the mysteries. Among them, there are those who during all day offer sacrifices and see the sheep while it is sacrificed on the dish, others that, as usual, offer the sacred sacrifice without seeing the sheep. As the apostles say it, they have the same (sacerdotal) dignity, but their portions (of the grace) are not equal; whereas the Christian people must receive (the mysteries) in a single spirit and in a single faith.
The eighteen beams signify: the first, you shall not adore another one but me, the second, the love, the third, humility, the forth, the joy, the fifth, the gentleness, the sixth, the patience, the seventh, the peace, the eighth, the faith, the ninth, the charity, the tenth, the care to avoid the words(?), the eleventh, the fasting, the twelfth, you shall not steal, the thirteenth, the absence of pride, the fourteenth, the chastity, the fifth, abstaining from false oath, the sixth, what you hate to be done on yourself, you shall not do it unto your fellow man, the seventeenth, you shall honour your father and your mother, and the eighteenth, you shall not desire everything that you see. The one who will observe these prescriptions will inherit the kingdom of heavens.
When he says that the tree remon is planted there, he means the tree of Aryâm (the heavens), and when he tells that if those who are possessed by demons drink of the fruit juice of this tree, will be healed of their illness, that signifies that when the peoples have drunk with faith the blood of (Christ) the glorious, they are healed of their sins. The demon which has grabbed and possessed them is Satan.
These are all the mysteries of tabernacle, those that the angel of God has exposed to me. And the nation is distributed according to their tribes: towards the orient the tribe of Judas is placed, with those who encamped with him; the tribe of Ruben (Robêl) is towards the right side, as well as those who encamped with him according to their families; the tribe of Joseph settled towards the sea (the west), with those who encamped with him; the tribe of Dan settles behind, in the west side of the tabernacle, as well as those who were encamped with him. In the same order according to which they walked, they aligned themselves when stopping, and they did not step into the seventh (tabernacle) where the altar is.
Our Lord being dead, came back from the dead in His power and, in the moment of His ascension, He ordained priests the apostles and revealed the mysteries to them. To Peter, He appeared in the form of mystery, and when he saw the flame, Peter ran away, falling on John. To John He showed Himself under the shape of white crystal, for he was a virgin. To James, He appeared under the aspect of a sword, for it is through sword that he must accomplish his martyrdom; to Fillip, under the aspect of the sea; to Bartholomew, under the appearance of a vine, to Thomas, under the shape of an ox, for the faith of Thomas was strong as the brass; to Matthew, under the aspect of a child; to Thaddeus, under the form of an ear of corn; to Nathaniel, under the appearance of a white dove; to James, son of Alphaeus, under the aspect of lightning.
He spoke again and told them: Is it not on Thursday evening (the evening of the fifth day) that I have given you My body and My blood? at that time I did not appear to you in this shape; but consider well and know that you are body and blood (?). And He told Peter; if My body had not taken the shape of a wheat bread, nobody would have been able to receive it. Having said this, he received the bread of His sacred body and The Lord of The universe went up to heaven. The Lord told Peter again: Of all sins the biggest is the lack of belief and the perfidy, the counsels of injustice and iniquity. If a man accomplished the works of justice and adores (God) and leads a life entirely holly, if he does not have on his face the sign of charity, the angels who watch will prevent him from entering through the gates of heaven.
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit. And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord. And his delight shall be in the fear of the Lord. He shall not judge by what his eyes see, or decide disputes by what his ears hear, but with righteousness he shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth; and he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall kill the wicked. Righteousness shall be the belt of his waist, and faithfulness the belt of his loins. ...
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the saints and faithful brothers in Christ at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father. We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love that you have for all the saints, because of the hope laid up for you in heaven. Of this you have heard before in the word of the truth, the gospel, ...
But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.
"Finally the Immaculate Virgin, preserved free from all stain of original sin, when the course of her earthly life was finished, was taken up body and soul into heavenly glory, and exalted by the Lord as Queen over all things, so that she might be the more fully conformed to her Son, the Lord of lords and conqueror of sin and death" (CCC, 966).
