Demeter the Prophet

 

Chapter 1

1         In the days of King Laman among the people of Barush and the land of his forefathers, I was called up by Keteruh the seer of Maneb and was placed in his care as the Lord took his power from within and laid it upon me one small piece at a time until I was filled and anointed as a prophet and seer unto him.

2         For it shall be known that the Lord keeps all knowledge and only reveals his most precious things unto his servants the prophets and that he chooses prophets from among those of great faith and those who are humble by either choice or circumstance.

3         And it is given to be a prophet by his call if you have laid before him all things pertaining to life.

4         And the virtue of his will shall abide in your pleasing places.

5         And those choose to serve him shall reap the reward in heaven that special gift of seership that he shall bestow upon all of the faithful who are called as prophets and seers.

6         And those who have faith to believe upon their words.

7         And then take within themselves the words of eternal life and offer up their hearts and will unto him.

8         And the morning of this record did begin when the Lord awakened me from a deep sleep and charged me with these words saying, get up thou son of a women and rise upon your feet and go up unto the throne of king Laman and prophesy evil against him.

9         And I shall lay upon your shoulders the burdens of the people and if you do not teach them and preach to them, and exhort them and impile within their souls a desire to come unto me then you shall have your place no more among my people, but shall be cast out as worthless and be trodden under the feet of the same people.

10      And yet now as I have instilled the fear of my name in your heart, you are called as a Son of the Most High and you shall be called unto the place of duty and honor as you magnify your search in my name unto the highest heights.

11      And I shall prepare a craft of small proportion by the river Ulai and shall bring up from the children of the south a guide to take you into the land of desolation.

12      And he shall become like unto a son in your house and your wife shall be no more barren, but the fruit of my will shall open up the womb of your name and you shall have seed.

13      And it will be given in the hour of my choosing a place for you set upon a hill to become like unto my name and be given power in a holy place to protect the virtue of your people.

14      And it shall dawn upon you the sign of a blood filled moon this night and you shall know that the blood of your kinsman of the house of Morokai your cousin shall have been spilt by the hand of Laman himself.

15      And you shall testify against this wicked monarch and bring him in humility to his knees.

16      And if he repents, you shall bring about the holy purposes of my name and shall require of him in my name that he lay down the pride of his heart and allow my will to be done and receive seed in his wife at your hand.

17      And if he obeys, you shall anoint him and shall teach him of all things and if he does not obey nor repent, nor accept my word, then you shall place upon him a curse of a most heinous nature and shall raise up your voice high unto the heavens as you have done afore time and you shall be blessed that he cannot remove your flesh.

18      Nevertheless, do not rebel against me and choose to go to the south, for I the Lord know your heart and whithersoever you go I shall be near you.

19      And you shall have no peace nor gifts, nor presence of power if you travel away from my command.

20      And it shall be given unto you the very words to speak unto the king.

21      After I had received these words from the Lord, I did fall to my knees and desire to die, for it was well known among my people that king Laman was given to great bouts of anger and malice and was prone to spilling the blood of the sons of the highest and my heart ran chill at the thought of my flesh being laid cold.

22      And we shall see in the day of his wrath two sons stand tall in the cloth of the humble and testify before the kings of this earth and their greatest power.

23      And no man shall have power to take their life until the days of their prophecy are fulfilled.

24      Thus saith the voice of Jehovah, I have called my son Demeter unto the throne of my name to do my bidding and to lay waste unto a kingdom of darkness that it might reemerge and be filled with light.

25      And I arose and went unto the place of the king and did see a vision of splendor.

26      And there was before me a tear in the sky and I did see two beings of light come forward baring the swords of fire and the power of God.

27      And I was shown by their hand the land of my people and I did see that the mountains were laid low and the sun was no more in the sky and I did see that there was peace and no hate upon the land.

28      And before my eyes were the very things of eternity shown in glory and light.

29      And I spake unto the one who was chief among the two and he spake before I finished saying, behold the veil of time shall rend and role up and no longer be a boon unto eternity, but shall be a blessings unto the spirits of the light that choose to follow the God of heaven.

30      And I spake saying, what of the prophecy of a child baring forth the gifts of prophecy and his power in truth unto all people.

31      And he spake saying, look and I did look and saw a woman most fair among women who had given herself unto no man and was taken of none, did seek the Lord day and night and was diligent in finding him, even the great God of heaven and earth was found by her.

32      And there was shown unto me a people steeped in wickedness and fouled by the sores of their heart and the pride of their eyes.

33      And they did raise up a generation of cruel and hardened impenitent haters of men that did revile continually against all light and I saw the child of prophecy born unto the women of light and she was given the child by a holy communion of the highest nature with the spirit of truth.

34      And she spake unto the spirit before saying, be it unto me, I am the handmaid of the Lord, even as you will.

35      And I found that her heart was pure before the Lord and soon she did conceive and bare fruit most holy and pure above all things and his name was given, even in the tongue of truth as Jesus Christ.

36      And I did see that his reign of light would never end.

37      And I did fall down before the angel of his presence and did exclaim, I am not worthy of such things and were I given power to end my life, I would lay down it down at his feet.

38      And there came before me another angel of power that extended his hand and said rise up oh ye son of the Most High, for ye are the seed of a noble birth, even a descendant of Noah and the patriarchs of the first days and the truth of the God of heaven shall fill your soul.

39      And his hand reached out and touched my forehead.

40      And I was shocked, for it was the touch of a man and yet there was light that came from him and my soul was repaired in the light that he bore.

41      And he spake no words, but did administer in the pure love of God.

42      And then I was taken back unto the place of the throne of the king of the land.
