Chapter 4: The Hijacked Deliverance from Bondage

He had departed from Ur together with his father, with his wife, and with their nephew; they had settled in Haran when the Purple One met Abram and said unto him: “Depart from thy country, from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, and come into the land which I shall show thee.”

My dear, for three days I have been struggling with this section; today I told the stars that I like it not at all, that even unto me it is tedious. Yesterday I had reached as far as Jacob’s departure from home... Yet the stars answered me: “It must not be about the life of these men, like a history that happened long ago. Write as if about the life of thy grandparents and, where it is fitting, insert how their life across the ages was projected also into thy life; show how happenings of men from back then are mirrored in thy life of now. Show how I was the One who guided thy steps, so that thou shouldst tread at certain moments in their footprints, or they stepped before thee at certain moments of their lives exactly where thy steps have stepped now; thou shalt see that thou wilt delight more in writing about their lives from this perspective.”

Here I am, resuming the account, writing unto thee concerning them from another perspective, in a manner that only we can understand, because their path is also our path, through certain moments, and from pieces of the history of their life, as if from a puzzle, we can fashion our life almost entirely; from whence we set forth and whereunto we have arrived. Beside this mingling of colors of life, their colors with ours, I desire to bring before thee yet another thread of history, as well as another contract, based upon the pink contract of thousands of generations: I shall call it a purple contract, though in essence it is bicolor: scarlet and purple. It is a contract without limit of time, an eternal contract made between the Purple One and Abram, between the Purple One and the seed of Abram.

I begin from whence I left off in the previous chapter; I begin with the first of my grandparents and with the journey of my people from the Flood until Egypt, and within their journey thou shalt see my journey toward my egypt, far from thee.

Abram had departed from Ur together with his father, with his wife, and with their nephew; they had settled in Haran when the Purple One sought him and said unto him: “Depart from thy country, from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, and come into the land which I shall show thee. And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing. And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the Earth be blessed.”

I explain unto thee: even as this grandparent was told to depart from the land wherein he was, so, through two dreams, the stars showed me that I must depart from the land wherein we were born and come into this country, Germany. It is not the promised land for me, yet it is the country where many of my brethren are scattered, and they know not even that they have a name, that they have a destiny; I shall tell thee more concerning them and concerning myself further on; I close here, for now, the explanation.

Some time before Abram was sought by the Purple One, Terah, his father, had died. Terah was descended from Noah, through his firstborn, Shem. Thus was Abram descended from Noah and from Adam; thus am I also descended from them.

At the commandment of the Purple One, Abram, being seventy and five years old, together with Sarai his wife, and Lot his nephew, departed upon a new path, through “waters” and through “fire”, toward the land of Canaan. Having arrived in Canaan, the One-who-Is appeared unto him again, and said: “All this land will I give unto thy seed.” And Abram built an altar and worshipped the Purple Prince there.

Abram journeyed through the land toward the south. Driven by a famine that had stricken the land, he was compelled to go down into Egypt and dwell there for a season. Abram said unto his wife, before entering into his Egypt for a season: “Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon. Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, ‘This is his wife!’ and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive. Say, I pray thee, that thou art my sister, that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.”

I explain unto thee: there are multiple similitudes between the life of Abram and his wife and us. First, the two knew each other from childhood. Sarai grew up within the same house and ate at the same table with Abram. They were siblings – having different mothers, Sarai being ten years younger than he. They fell in love one with another, and at a certain moment they were wedded. Sarai was fair to look upon, but not only so; she was even as thou art.

Though we have not the same parents, we might say that we grew up together. The first time I beheld thee, thou couldst scarcely stand upon thy feet – thou wast so little. Later on, I became friends with thy parents, and at a certain moment, I was so welcome within their house and we were together almost everywhere, insomuch that, at a certain time, it was believed I belonged unto the family – either as a brother unto thy father, or a brother unto thee. I depart from the explanation.

Having departed from Egypt, Abram returned unto Bethel. While he was there, the Purple One appeared unto him again, repeating His promise: “Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward; for all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever. And I will make thy seed as the dust of the Earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the Earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered. Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.”

I explain unto thee, but a little: the promise which the Purple One made unto Abram seemeth never to have been fulfilled, at least not until now, when the land occupied by those declared to be of Abram is far too small, and those declared to be of him are so few; something is not right: either the manner wherein we look upon reality, or the moment for the fulfillment of this promise hath not yet come. I shall return – I depart from the explanation.

While Abram was in the land of Hebron, a war arose between the kings of the country, and among the captives of war was also Lot, Abram’s nephew, who at that time dwelt in Sodom. The tidings of Lot’s capture reached even unto Abram, named the Hebrew. Abram armed himself for battle, and together with eight hundred of his most valiant men, he pursued those kings with whom his nephew was held captive. He smote them in a night. “And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.”

I explain unto thee: I depart partially from the original narrative; upon his return, in the midst of the week, Abram was met by the Scarlet One, Melchizedek, which is to say, “King of the Pink”, Priest of the One-who-Is and King of the Citadel of Salem. Because He held a purple contract for Abram, He met him with bread and wine; even as, across the ages, the one born of Abram was to initiate a blue contract with bread and wine – a symbol of the body and of the blood. The Scarlet One blessed Abram and said: “Blessed be Abram of the One-who-Is, Possessor of Heaven and Earth! Blessed be the Purple One, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand!” And Abram gave Him tithes of all.

The reason for which Abram was met by the Scarlet One and blessed by Him in this manner, was the fact that only in this wise could the Purple One be blessed in Abram and in his seed. The Purple One could not bless Himself, but had to be blessed in Abram either by the Blue One or by the Scarlet One; this was another reason for which within the Citadel the structure of the governance was modified and a transition was made to a priestly system; thus did the Scarlet One become Mediator or Priest, thus did He become a Representative of (and) King of the Citadel of Salem Above.

There is a law of blessing – no one can bless himself. For every blessing there must be an external guarantee. Thus it was found fitting for the Purple One to be blessed in Abram by the Scarlet One. Thus was the Purple One able to bless Abram, not with a purple blessing, but with a borrowed, scarlet blessing; the guarantor of Abram’s blessing and, indirectly, the guarantor of the blessing of the Purple Man who was to be sacrificed was the Scarlet One.

The priesthood of Melchizedek – the Scarlet One – was otherwise than the priesthood which was later to be instituted upon Earth; that upon Earth being a priesthood inherited from father to son, within the same tribe, Levi. In contrast, the priesthood of Melchizedek was from Above, having its origin in the One-who-Is. In truth, the human priesthood – the Levitical – would have possessed no value if Abram, the “father” of Levi, had not been blessed by a Priest, and this Priest had to be the One-who-Is. The guarantor of the Levitical priesthood upon Earth was the Scarlet One Himself – the Priest of the Blue One. Thus were the two priesthoods synchronized – the one from Above with that upon Earth – and their α-substancial effects in the Universe and upon Earth. I depart from the explanation – it hath lasted a little longer.

A short time after Abram’s meeting with the Scarlet One, the Purple One appeared unto him in a vision and said: “Abram, fear not; I am thy shield and thy exceeding great reward. He that shall come forth out of thine own bowels, he shall be thine heir. Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them. So shall thy seed be.” And inasmuch as Abram believed in the promise of the One-who-Is, though his wife could bear no children, this thing was accounted unto him by the Purple One as a manifestation of pink and he was reckoned to be pink – that is, righteous.

I explain: faith and trust in Love – sometimes in spite of reality – prove whether a man is pink or not. Thus Noah also proved; though he had never seen rain in his life, he believed Love that, even as it was spoken, a Flood would be brought. Likewise also Abram – though in a natural wise it was impossible for Sarai his wife to bear him a child – believed the Purple One, and this thing was accounted as proof that Abram is pink.

Within the promise of the Archangel Micha-El there is also found the criterion whereby the One-who-Is taketh into account who are the heirs or descendants of Abram, the Hebrew. The Purple One said: “He that shall come forth out of thine own bowels, he shall be thine heir.” This is the fundamental rule whereby the Eternal One reckoneth the sons of Abram – his seed – as easy to number as if one could tell the stars of heaven. According to this criterion, it appeareth evident that, from the understanding of the One-who-Is, the descendants of Abram across all times, but most especially in this generation, are far more numerous than those declared according to human criteria, which are tributary to a mistake of interpretation of the Scriptures. A Hebrew is, in the first instance, anyone who hath within his soul a thread of color of Abram. I shall return to this subject with more details.

Here there is yet something to be underscored: the One-who-Is promiseth unto Abram an heir – at first glance it seemeth to be concerning the son who was to be born unto him through his wife – others might identify the promised heir within the Purple Man who was to be born across the ages from him; yet the truth passeth through the two previous assertions and identifieth the heir among the numberless stars of his sons and daughters from the last generation; I shall argue this matter within the context, further on – I depart from the explanation.

Abram asked for a sign whereby the One-who-Is might show him that indeed the words through which the land of Canaan was promised unto him should be fulfilled. He brought sacrifices according to the requirement of the Purple One, and toward evening he fell into a deep sleep. And the One-who-Is said unto Abram: “Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years. And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge, saith the Lord: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. But thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age. But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again.”

I must explain unto thee. Within the captivity of Abram’s seed multiple matters are understood: (a) his descendants – having come forth out of Jacob, the twelve tribes – shall be servants in Egypt four hundred years and, after four generations, they shall return, and so it came to pass; (b) converting the “four hundred years” unto the time within the Citadel, we shall understand that the descendants of Abram abode in Egypt for three days: the end of one day, one entire day, and the beginning of another day; even as the Israelites were weighed down by the darkness of oppression in Egypt, likewise the Purple Prince was to pass, after unimaginable sufferings, three days through the grave.

On the other hand, hidden within this vision was the fate of the “stars as the sand of the sea” – the numberless descendants of Abram in this generation. While they were in Egypt, a part of the Jews of the twelve tribes of Israel waited no longer for the promised deliverance, they waited no longer for Moses; they escaped and scattered themselves across the entire Earth, most of them coming into what we now call Europe.

The nations of Europe were formed by them, but it is not concerning Europe alone. They were – are – kings and nations and, though they know it not, they have their origin in Abram. The promise is that, in the fourth nation – kingdom – they shall return into the promised land. Daniel, within his vision, telleth us which fourth nation is spoken of: first was Babylon, then Medo-Persia, then Greece, and finally Rome – yet not the Empire, but Rome divided, Rome in her attempt to unite. The moment of the stone – the chief cornerstone, which smiteth “Rome” and all the empires of the world – now is that moment... and I depart also from the explanation.

After the going down of the sun, the Purple One consumed Abram’s sacrifices – “an heifer of three years old, and a she-goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon” – and made a purple contract with him, which stipulated that unto his seed (the heir) He would give “this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates: the Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.”

I explain: never in history hath this promise been fulfilled, yet neither doth it mean that the Purple One lied; it presenteth a truth which few succeed in understanding: the heir (the seed) of Abram until the present moment hath not come – it was neither David, nor Solomon in all his glory. In truth, Solomon, looking prophetically into the future toward his son, the king who was to come, repeated the promise of the Purple One, saying: “He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the Earth.”

This is the purple contract which awaiteth its fulfillment upon this Earth, and the result of the fulfillment of this prophecy shall be drawn in reality even as the words: “He shall judge the poor of the people, He shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor. They shall fear Thee as long as the sun and moon endure... In his days shall the pink flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth.”

On the other hand, within the “three years” of the animals sacrificed upon the altar it was shown that the foundation of the purple contract, which was reminded on this occasion unto Abram, was to be the sacrifice of the Purple One, who was to be sacrificed after three years of activity and growth within the bosom of Israel as the Purple Man come to resolve the gray problem arisen within the Citadel among the cherubim and arisen upon Earth among men... I close also this explanation.

Within the life of Abram there followeth the Ishmael moment, when Hagar, the Egyptian handmaid of his wife, beareth unto Abram his first son: Ishmael. And Ishmael was born under a blessing and he also inherited promises from the Purple Archangel, who said unto his mother: “I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude. Thou shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the One-who-Is hath heard thy affliction. And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.” Abram was fourscore and six years old when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram.

Thirteen years later, the One-who-Is appeared unto Abram again and said unto him: “I am the One-who-Is, The Omnipotent One. Walk before Me, and be thou perfect. And I will make a purple contract between Me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. As for Me, behold, My contract is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee. And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. And I will establish My contract between Me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a Love unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger – even all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their Love.”

And the Purple One continued: “Thou shalt keep My contract therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations. This is My contract, which ye shall keep, between Me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised. And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin – and it shall be a token of the contract betwixt Me and you. And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations – he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed. He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and My contract shall be in your flesh for an everlasting purple contract. And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken My contract.”

The name of Abraham’s wife is changed from Sarai to Sarah, under the promise of the Purple One: “I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations – kings of people shall be of her. Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish My contract with him for an everlasting purple contract, and with his seed after him. And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation. But My contract will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.” And when He had left off talking with him, the Purple One went up from Abraham.

I explain: not everyone born of Abraham was an heir to a purple contract. Ishmael, though born of Abraham through Hagar, was not an heir to a purple contract; he inherited a special pink contract, yet not a purple contract, even as Isaac was to inherit – the explanation is closed.

After a time, the Purple One appeared yet again unto Abraham. It was the Purple Shekinah (/Α\) before him, in the likeness of three men standing by him. Abraham worshipped Him and besought Him to permit that he might serve them with bread, and offered to wash their feet. Abraham hastened to dress a calf, butter, and milk, and they did eat. Then the Purple One said unto him: “I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son.” It is written concerning them on this wise: “Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.” And the One-who-Is added: “Is any thing too hard for Love? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, and Sarah shall have a son.”

Forgive me, I explain: beside the fact that upon this occasion also the promise of the Purple One is renewed concerning the son who was to be born unto Abraham through Sarah, this meeting bringeth into relief the position of the One-who-Is regarding the consumption of meat together with dairy. It is evident not only that the Purple Shekinah did eat this combination of products, but it is understood that Abraham also ate along with his guests, according to the custom of the time. From this situation it is clearly understood that both the One-who-Is and the Hebrew had no issue with the breaking of any supposed commandment that would forbid the consuming of meat together with dairy. Doth the Unchangeable One contradict Himself? Doth He close His eyes when it is a matter of His “culinary pleasure” or the culinary pleasure of His “favorite”? By no means! Peradventure, at the heart of it is a misunderstanding which led to the wrong interpretation by the “gods” – the “learned” – of the commandment: “Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.”

This commandment hath no connection with the consumption of clean meat along with milk at the same table, as it is believed. The commandment hath rather to do with certain customs of the time, such as the “eating of carcasses”. In those days it was practiced among the nations to seethe a kid or a calf alive within its mother’s womb. The commandment forbade such cruelties toward animals, for they, the sons of Abraham, were called to be a holy people; and holiness implieth mercy, a lack of cruelty or of malice even toward animals. In this wise is the commandment understood: “Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.” And to strengthen yet further the clarity upon this subject, I add also a portion from the song of Moses: “He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that Israel might eat the increase of the fields... butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat.” I have finished the explanation.

Returning unto Sarah – Sarah, even as the Purple One had promised, conceived and bare unto Abraham a son in his old age. “And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac. And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as Love had commanded him. And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.”

At the time when Isaac was weaned, a grievance arose between Sarah and Hagar, the mother of Ishmael. Following this circumstance, Sarah demanded of Abraham to cast out Hagar and Ishmael her son. Abraham loved Ishmael and was sore displeased by Sarah’s request. But the Purple One intervened and said unto Abraham: “Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called indeed. And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.”

Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away; and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba. There the Purple Archangel said unto Hagar: “What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for Love hath heard the voice of the lad where he is. Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.” And Love opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink. And the One-who-Is was with the lad – and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer. And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.

And it came to pass after these things, that the Purple One did tempt Abraham, and said unto him: “Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.”

Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took his son: “And he took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which Love had told him.” Three days did Abraham walk toward the place shown by the One-who-Is. And seeing the place afar off, he commanded the young men who were with him to abide there, while he, together with the lad, with the wood for the sacrifice, with the fire and a knife, departed toward the place indicated by the Purple One.

On the way, Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said: “My father, behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?” And Abraham said: “Love Himself will provide a lamb for a burnt offering.” How much truth was within the words of Abraham! Love was providing, yet not alone for the sacrifice of Abraham, but for the sacrifice of all. Love was, across the ages, to sacrifice Himself. The Purple Man was to die in the stead of all.

And they came to the place which was told him, and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order; and he bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood. And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son. And the Purple Archangel – the Priest of the Blue One – called unto him out of heaven, and said: “Abraham, Abraham! Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest the One-who-Is, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from Me.”

I must intervene with an explanation: within the sacrifice that Abraham was willing to offer – sparing not his son – the very sacrifice of Love was seen. He who was declared Son by the Blue One was, at a certain moment in the history of humanity, to be sacrificed as the sole solution to the gray problem of the Universe; if concerning Isaac Someone was found to cry out: “Stop! Sacrifice him not!”, concerning the Purple Prince of the Universe no one was found – on the contrary, Love closed Her eyes, stopped Her ears, and placed Herself into a straitjacket, precisely to prevent Himself from intervening. The sacrifice had to be offered even for a single angel or for a single man – even as a parent willing to make any sacrifice for his son or for Love.

Within the sacrifice that Abraham was willing to offer, another drama is also seen: the drama of the father who, upon the way of return, was to walk home alone. It is difficult to discern, within the situation illustrated by Abraham and his son, who would have suffered more: the son sacrificed in a moment, or the father living an entire life without the one whom he had awaited a lifetime. Extending this, within the sacrifice offered for the gray, we shall never know who suffered more and who died, in truth: the Purple One or the Two remaining, looking upon the One who sacrificed His own life. We shall never know. All we shall know is that the One-who-Is is Love yesterday, today, eternally. The explanation is finished.

Returning unto Abraham with his sacrifice – within a thicket, nearby, a ram was waiting to be offered for a burnt offering in the stead of Isaac. Indeed, Love had provided. And Love spake unto Abraham again, saying: “By Myself have I sworn because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son, that in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed – even as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gates of his enemies. And in thy seed shall all the nations of the Earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed My voice!”

When Isaac was well-nigh thirty and seven years old, Sarah his mother died; she was an hundred and seven and twenty years old. She died in Canaan and was buried in the cave of Machpelah. And after a time, being forty years old, Isaac married Rebekah. In this wise was Isaac comforted after his mother’s death. And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac, and died in a good old age, being an hundred threescore and fifteen years old; and his sons, Isaac and Ishmael, buried him by Sarah his wife in the cave of Machpelah. And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that the Purple One blessed his son Isaac.

My darling, I explain unto thee: I was of the very age of Isaac when my mother died; a year later, I heard from the stars that it is the plan of the Purple Prince for thee to be my wife, and a year thereafter – six years ago now – we had the most beautiful summer, spent together. Thou wast also, then even as now, my comfort; and that summer was a foretaste of the promise that we should be together; yet from that moment, our paths began to divide and by degrees distanced themselves ever more; thus arrived I, three years ago, into my Egypt, far from thee – the explanation is also finished.

Rebekah, even as Sarah, could bear no children. Isaac intreated Love for her, and the Purple One answered his prayer. She conceived with two children, and the children struggled together within her womb. Concerning them, the Purple One said unto Rebekah: “Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.” Isaac was threescore years old when Rebekah bare their two sons: Esau and Jacob. Esau was the favorite of Isaac, and Jacob – the favorite of his mother.

And there was a famine in the land again, and Isaac, with his family, went unto Gerar to dwell. The Purple One appeared unto him, and said: “Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of. Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father. And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the Earth be blessed – because that Abraham obeyed My voice, and kept My charge – My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.”

The Purple One blessed Isaac exceedingly, and his substance grew very great in that place, insomuch that, at a certain moment, he was cast out by the king of that land, because his wealth had grown more than that of any dweller of that land; and after a time, he arrived at Beer-sheba.

The One-who-Is appeared unto Isaac there, and said: “I am the Love of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee. And I will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for My servant Abraham’s sake.” And Isaac built an altar there, and worshipped the Purple One, and pitched his tent there.

And it came to pass after a time, that Isaac was old and his eyes were dim, and one day he called Esau, his favorite, and sent him to the hunt, that he might make him savory meat and then bless him. While Esau was at the hunt, Rebekah moved Jacob, her favorite, to go with the meat she had prepared unto his father, that he might receive the blessing in the stead of his brother. And Jacob clothed himself in the garments of his brother, and went with the meat prepared by his mother unto his father, to receive the blessing, giving himself out to be Esau, his brother. In this wise, Jacob came near unto his father and kissed him. And Isaac smelled the smell of his raiment; then he blessed him, and said: “See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which Love hath blessed. Therefore the One-who-Is give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine! Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee! Be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother’s sons bow down to thee! Cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee.” Thus did Isaac bless Jacob.

And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him, and Jacob, by the counsel of his mother, was compelled to flee into Haran, unto the brother of his mother. The purpose was to depart but for a season, until his brother’s anger should turn away. And before his departure, Isaac called Jacob, his son, and blessed him, and charged him that he should not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan, but should take a wife of the daughters of Laban, his mother’s brother.

On his journey toward Haran, when the sun was set and night had come, Jacob tarried and lay down to sleep with his head upon a stone. He dreamed a dream. He dreamed a ladder set up on Earth, and the top of it reached to Heaven – which is to say, unto the Citadel. The angels of the One-who-Is were ascending and descending on it. And the Purple Archangel stood above it, and said: “I am the One-who-Is, the Love of Abraham thy father, and the Love of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed. And thy seed shall be as the dust of the Earth; and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the Earth be blessed. And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.” These were the words of the purple contract rewritten also within the destiny of Jacob.

And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he was afraid; and he took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and poured oil upon the top of it, and set it up for a pillar of remembrance – a witness of that meeting – and there, at Bethel, he vowed a vow unto Love, saying: “If Love will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on, so that I come again to my father’s house in peace; then shall the One-who-Is be my Love: and this stone, which I have set for a pillar of remembrance, shall be the house of the Purple One: and of all that Thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto Thee.”

Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east. And upon his way he came upon a well – a place where the shepherds of that country gathered to water their flocks. Then and there Jacob met Rachel, the daughter of Laban, his mother’s brother. Being in love with Rachel within the house of Laban, they agreed that Jacob should serve Laban for Rachel seven years. And when the time was fulfilled – those seven years which seemed unto Jacob but a few days, for the love he had to her – Laban deceived him; and, in the night when Rachel was to be in Jacob’s bed, Leah, the elder sister of Rachel, was brought in her stead.

Laban justified his deceit by the reason that, according to the custom of the place, it was not the manner to give the younger before the firstborn. They agreed that Jacob should serve him yet seven other years for Rachel. After those fourteen years for Rachel had passed, Jacob abode in the house of Laban yet six years more; thus, during this season, Rachel and Leah, and their handmaids, Bilhah and Zilpah, bare unto him eleven sons and one daughter. And the man’s substance increased exceedingly, and the sons of Laban began to suspect him of theft, saying: “Jacob hath taken away all that was our father’s; and of that which was our father’s hath he gotten all this glory.” Even Laban, his father-in-law, beheld him, and behold, it was not toward him as before.

I must explain unto thee – how wondrously similar our circumstance hath been! My more special relationship with thy father began after the passing of my own father. From that moment forward, I was as if adopted into thy family; then, after six years, I became employed within the firm of thine uncle and thy father. I was even as one of the family, yet suddenly, out of the clear sky, after exactly fourteen years, suspicions were raised against me, as though I had purloined from the substance of the family. I was accused without proof and without it being true... thou knowest... The concept is that exactly after twenty years – exactly after fourteen years under contract – I came forth accused and disowned from the firm and the house of thy family, and after a few months I arrived into the country wherein I am now... This month, on the 24th, my three years of egypt, of a gray story, are fulfilled... Far from thee, far from my country, far from home... How the stories overlap... I love thee... I close also this explanation.

The Purple One appeared unto Jacob, and said unto him: “Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.” And Jacob sent and called his wives and told them of his purpose to depart, for it was evident that their father and their brethren were displeased with him in their souls. And he said unto them: “And ye know that with all my power I have served your father. And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but Love suffered him not to hurt me.” And his wives agreed with him and determined to depart secretly. “Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels; and he carried away all his cattle, and all his goods which he had gotten – the cattle of his getting, which he had gotten in Padan-aram – for to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan. And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen the images that were her father’s, and Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled.”

And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled; and he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days’ journey, and they overtook him; but Love came to Laban in a dream by night, and said unto him: “Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad!” And on the morrow, Laban said to Jacob: “What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters, as captives taken with the sword? Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and steal away from me, and didst not tell me? that I might have sent thee away with mirth, and with songs, with tabret, and with harp. And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? thou hast now done foolishly in so doing. It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the Love of your father spake unto me yesternight, saying, ‘Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad!’ And now, though thou wouldst needs be gone, because thou sore longedst after thy father’s house, yet wherefore hast thou stolen my gods?” For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them.

I must explain unto thee – was our situation not exactly so? The very starting point of my disowning? At a certain moment it was suspected that I had appropriated money belonging to thy father, and thy brother verified all the outflows of money from the firm toward thy father; thou wast far away; he came unto me and questioned me whose signature was upon those outflows of a significant value of money, for he had asked everyone within the house and no one knew whose signature it was. It was thy signature, yet I would not tell him; it was, said I, his own fault for not having questioned thee also. We all know thou didst not take the money for thyself. Thou hadst signed for them because thy father had sent thee after them. From this, the troubles and suspicions multiplied; thy grandmother also found out in the meantime and, without proofs that I had taken them, she imputed that money unto me, coming with the proposal that the said sum be deducted from my wages progressively, month by month. I told her I agreed not, and that one day I would restore the money which thy father had given me additionally over my wages, from time to time.

One day, thy grandmother came unto me and demanded money out of my pocket, because thy father had need thereof; I gave it unto her and told her that what she did was not right, and that it must not be repeated; she came once more, and I gave it unto her again, reminding her that it was for the last time; she came even a third time, and I gave it unto her yet again. That was the final time, for I tendered my resignation. Thus did it come to pass that I said unto thy father that “with this firm and with this family I want nothing more to do ever again”. Now I feel regret – as I have told thee before – I love thee and I love them, for I had grown up within that very house; yet all that I write here is true – witnesses unto me are the two cherubim who adopted us – they were present each time when, under thy signature, I gave thee money from the firm for thy father. Love knoweth that thus did matters stand. The explanation is also finished.

On his way home, Jacob yet feared Esau his brother, from whom, by the counsels of his mother, he had stolen the blessing. Receiving tidings that Esau came to meet him with four hundred men, Jacob was sore afraid and distressed, and he prayed unto the One-who-Is, saying: “Love of my father Abraham, and Love of my father Isaac! Thou, the One-who-Is, which saidst unto me, ‘Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee!’ I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which Thou hast showed unto Thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan... Deliver me, I pray Thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother with the children. And Thou saidst, ‘I will surely deal well with thee, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.’”

And Jacob tarried all that night in that place. And Jacob was left alone. Then, the Purple Prince wrestled with him until the breaking of the day. And when He saw that He prevailed not against him, Micha-El touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with Him. And the Purple One said: “Let Me go, for the day breaketh.” And Jacob said: “I will not let Thee go, except Thou bless me.” And the One-who-Is said unto him: “What is thy name?” And he said: “Jacob.” And He said: “Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel – which is to say, he who wrestleth with Love – for as a prince hast thou power with the One-who-Is and with men, and hast prevailed.” And Jacob asked Him, and said: “Tell me, I pray Thee, Thy name.” And He said: “Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after My name?” And He blessed him there.

And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel – The Face of the One-who-Is; “For”, said he, “I have seen the Purple One face to face, and yet my life is preserved”. And the sun rose upon him, and Jacob halted upon his thigh. “Therefore, unto this day, the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, because the One-who-Is touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew.”

And when Jacob met with Esau, there were tears – they embraced and kissed one another. And all those belonging unto Jacob, mothers and children, handmaids and servants, bowed themselves before Esau – they fell upon their faces to the ground before him. Then each went on his way toward home; first Esau, and then Jacob, journeying more softly and making reason: “My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young are with me; and if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die. Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goeth before me and the children be able to endure, until I come unto my lord unto Seir.”

And after a time, the Purple One said unto Jacob: “Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto Love, that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.” Having arrived at Bethel, he built there an altar, and called the place El-bethel: because there Love was revealed unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother.

And the Purple One appeared unto Jacob again and said unto him: “Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name. I am the One-who-Is, The Omnipotent One. Be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins; and the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.”

I explain: though both Jacob and Esau had come forth out of Isaac, Love chose Jacob between the two brothers. He chose Israel as heir to the purple contract, even as He chose Isaac, and not Ishmael. Later on, Love chose the twelve sons of Israel as heirs to the purple contract, and all those who came forth out of them. I shall explain yet more, further on.

And they journeyed from Bethel; and Rachel bare the last son of Jacob – the brother of Joseph, Benjamin. “And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath.”

And Jacob came unto his father alive, but his mother had died in the meantime. And Isaac died, being an hundred and fourscore years old, and was buried by his sons – Esau and Jacob.

After the death of his father, Israel dwelt in the land of Canaan as a stranger, even as his father Isaac had done, and as his grandfather Abraham.

When Joseph, the son born of Rachel unto Israel in his old age, was seventeen years old, Jacob made him a coat of many colors. And it was evident unto the brethren of Joseph that their father loved him more than all his brethren; wherefore they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him. Moreover, Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren, and they hated him yet the more. And Joseph told them his dream, saying: “Behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.” And his brethren said to him: “Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us?” And they hated him yet the more.

And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his father and his brethren, and said: “Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.” And his father rebuked him, and said unto him: “What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?” And his brethren envied him yet the more.

I intervene with an explanation: there are several insertions from this story also within my life; like Joseph, I was born in old age, after seven daughters. It was evident that within the house of my parents I was the favorite, the one with the coat of many colors, the little one – “the young Joseph or Benjamin”. At seventeen years old my father died, and the gray of my life began. Yet matters do not end here; around that same period I began to have dreams myself, which I recounted unto my “brethren” and my friends. When thou hast ordinary dreams, thou stirrest up envy or malice in no one; but when thou hast dreams from the stars, dreams with reference to a purple contract, matters grow complicated, because suddenly thou appearest to have aspirations concerning thyself that are not seemly – aspirations of the kind: “Shalt thou indeed reign over us?”, “Shalt thou indeed have dominion over us?”, “Shall we bow down ourselves before thee?” Yet the dreams from the stars are from the dream of Love. Is Love debtor to justify Herself before any man? The actions of Love are justified within the One-who-Is and His contract, regardless of color – pink or purple... The explanation is also finished.

When the brethren of Joseph were afar off, Israel sent him unto them to see whether it be well with them and to bring him word again of them. And Joseph went after them, and when he was yet afar off, they recognized him by his coat and conspired against him to slay him. And they said one to another: “Behold, this dreamer cometh! Come now therefore, let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.” And he was delivered out of their hands by one of them, Reuben, the firstborn. He said: “Let us not kill him! Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him.” He purposed to rid him out of their plots... And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto them, that they stripped Joseph out of his coat, and they took him, and cast him into a pit – and the pit was empty, there was no water in it. And they sat down to eat bread.

I explain unto thee: how wondrously similar was the situation on the day I went unto thine uncle with my resignation! We discussed many matters; among other things, I told him that, if my own mother had behaved toward anyone as his mother behaved toward me, I would by no means have taken her side, for what she did was devoid of fairness. We came to discuss the alleged money purloined by me – those with thy signature – as well as the money which thy father had given me additionally, which I considered to be a gift. It had been a gift from thy father until the moment thy grandmother transformed it into a debt. I assured thine uncle that one day I would restore this money unto thy father, yet, from discussion to discussion, we arrived at the true problem: my dreams... The dream from the stars; that which I believed concerning myself.

The true problem, the true motive, was my pretension of being an heir to a purple contract. Then thine uncle said unto me: “Thou hast spoken, and that which thou hast spoken hath not been fulfilled; thou hast not asked forgiveness for being mistaken; thou knowest not how to confess thy fault.” I said unto him that my time had not yet come – “That I am yet alive and that one day that which I have dreamed shall be fulfilled”. He was moved to anger. I told him that he was mistaken in his attitude and that one day he would feel regret, for I have a destiny and Love shall do me justice. We parted, it being understood that after two weeks I was to go after my final wages and after the writings proving the cessation of my activity within that firm. In addition, we agreed that I should be awaited concerning the debt I yet owed unto him for the car purchased.

I returned after two weeks. In the meantime, thy grandmother had begun to say everywhere that I had stolen; it was known throughout the whole city that I had supposedly done something I had not done. I was stripped of my coat – my reputation. The money which thine uncle was to give me, money which was due to me for the last month worked, he withheld from me on the ground that I am debtor to thy father, and thy father is debtor to him; thus, with my final wages, some of the debts are quenched. The writings wherewith I came forth from the firm were drawn up without the right to unemployment benefit. In addition, he demanded also the debt – the remainder of the money which was left for the car – approximately one thousand euros. He told me that he had urgent need of some money and knew not wherefrom to procure it, and that from the money which I owe he covereth a portion of the need. I told him to bill me the debt and in this wise let the transfer of the car from the firm to me be made. I found myself with the debt billed upon my email, yet it was not the value we had established – he had added the VAT as well.

Thus was I cast into the pit – my wages withheld, the money taken out of my pocket by thy grandmother, plus the debt upon the car. After a time, all manner of untrue things began to circulate concerning me, generated by thy grandmother. I called her, and she placed the phone unto thine uncle, whom I told to cease, for what they were doing was not right and brought me defamation. He answered me: “Let thy Love do thee justice, even as thou hast spoken!” I answered him that, until Love should do me justice, they were filling my name and reputation with mire... In this wise was I compelled to start anew within another country; within my egypt... The explanation is also finished concerning us.

And they sat down to eat bread, and Joseph was within the pit, and behold, a company of Ishmeelites passed by coming from Gilead with their camels bearing “spicery and balm and myrrh”, going to carry it down to Egypt. And Judah said unto his brethren: “What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood? Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh.” And they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for “twenty pieces of silver”: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.

And Reuben returned unto the pit, and behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes, and he returned unto his brethren, and asked what they had done with Joseph. In the meantime, they took Joseph’s coat of many colors, and dipped it in “the blood of a kid of the goats”, and sent it, afterward, to their father. And the messenger asked Israel: “This have we found: know now whether it be thy son’s coat or no.” And the sorrowful father knew it, and said: “It is my son’s coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces!” And he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days. And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted for the loss sustained. And he said, weeping: “For I will go down into the grave unto my son mourning.”

And Joseph was sold to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard. And Love was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand. And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that Love blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of Love was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field. And he left all that he had in Joseph’s hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat.

I must remind thee: my darling, thou knowest full well – and all who have collaborated or yet collaborate with the firm of thine uncle – how I was set in charge over all things and that all the money of the house was put under my administration, that the only one to whom I gave account was thine uncle, who, in many respects, like Potiphar, was devoid of any care; that in all vacations I went with the laptop with me and that, during the season when I was there, it went well with the firm and the house – the blessing of Love was there. Thou knowest that day and night I did all that depended on me so that matters should be well, that until this very day that firm functioneth upon my applications and upon the innovations that I made there; by day I worked, and in some nights, when there was no one else, I slept within the house with thy grandmother, she being afraid to abide alone. In all this time, thine uncle was entirely without any major care – thou knowest it, and the stars know it also, and all who knew me during that season... I close also this remembrance.

And it came to pass after these things, that his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me. But he refused, and said, How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against the One-who-Is? And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that on a certain day, when there was none of the men of the house there within, she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out. And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth, that she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice: and it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and got him out.

And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home. And she spake unto him according to these words, saying: “The Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me: and it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled out.” And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, that his wrath was kindled. And Joseph’s master took him, and put him into the prison – a place where the king’s prisoners were bound.

But Love was with Joseph, and showed him mercy, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison. And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it.

And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker had offended their lord the Pharaoh, and he, being wroth with them, put them in ward in the prison – arriving under the charge of Joseph. And they continued a season in ward. And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream in one night, and each dream telling that which was to pass with each of them. And Joseph interpreted their dreams, and the dreams were fulfilled even as Joseph had interpreted them: within three days the chief butler was restored unto his butler-office again, and the chief baker – even as Joseph had spoken – he hanged.

I explain unto thee briefly: call to mind how, for nearly a year’s time since I have been writing to thee, each time I had a dream, I recounted it to thee and how each time the dreams I told thee concerning us came to pass. There are also a few which until now have not been fulfilled, because their appointed time hath not yet come; and there is yet another aspect: Joseph was cast into prison on the ground of “harassment” – which in a small wise is found also within our story – not that I have harassed thee, we know it well. We know that, even as the sun toucheth not nor doeth hurt unto the window through which his rays pass, likewise the children of Love cannot “harass” anyone; furthermore, both in the case of Joseph and in the case of every son or daughter of Love, the Law of Love is the norm in relating with Love or with those around them. The explanation is also finished.

And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed two dreams. And it came to pass in the morning that Pharaoh was troubled, and he sent and called for all the magicians and all the wise men (gods) of Egypt. But there was none that could interpret the dreams unto the king. Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, remembering Joseph. He told Pharaoh concerning Joseph and the interpretation of the dreams which he had made, and how it came to pass exactly as Joseph had interpreted the dreams. Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph.

And when Joseph was come in unto Pharaoh, he recounted his dream unto him, saying: “In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river: And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fat-fleshed and well-favored; and they fed in a meadow: And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill-favored and lean-fleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness: And the lean and the ill-favored kine did eat up the first seven fat kine: And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had entered into their bowels; but they were still ill-favored, as at the beginning. So I awoke. And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good: And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them: And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears: and I told this unto the magicians; but there was none that could declare it to me.”

And Joseph said unto Pharaoh: “The dream of Pharaoh is one: Love hath showed Pharaoh what He is about to do.” Seven years of great plenty were coming throughout all the land of Egypt, followed by seven years of famine. Then Joseph continued: “Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt. Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years. And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities. And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.” And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants. And Pharaoh said unto his servants: “Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of the One-who-Is is?”

And Pharaoh said unto Joseph: “Forasmuch as Love hath showed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art. Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.” And Pharaoh said unto Joseph: “See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.” And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph’s hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck; and he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, “Bow the knee!” and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph: “I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.”

I explain: the lifting up of Joseph over the kingdom of Egypt and the setting of him upon the highest position of the empire pointed also toward the promised heir unto Abraham – toward the king concerning whom Solomon and David prophesied within the Psalms – toward the heir concerning whom shall be fulfilled the words from another part of the Scriptures: “Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.” Or: “Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.” I close the explanation.

And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came – Manasseh and Ephraim – whom Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah priest of On bare unto him.

And the seven years of plenteousness were ended, and the dearth began to come in all the land of Egypt and the countries round about. The famine had reached also into Canaan, where Jacob and his sons abode – the father and the brethren of Joseph. And Jacob sent his sons into Egypt for food. Ten of Joseph’s brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt. But Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, Jacob sent not with them, lest peradventure mischief should befall him.

And Joseph was the governor over the land, and he it was that sold corn to all the people of the land: and Joseph’s brethren came, and bowed down themselves before him with their faces to the earth. And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange unto them, and spake roughly unto them; and he said unto them, “Whence come ye?” And they said, “From the land of Canaan to buy food.” And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him. And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them, and said unto them, “Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.”

And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food are thy servants come. We are all one man’s sons; we are true men, thy servants are no spies. And they said, Thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is not.

And Joseph said unto them, That is it that I spake unto you, saying, Ye are spies: Hereby ye shall be proved: to verify the truth of your words, let your youngest brother be brought hither, and one of your brethren shall be bound as a surety, until ye shall return. And they did so.

And they said one to another: “We are verily guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come upon us.” And Reuben answered them, saying: “Spake I not unto you, saying, Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear? therefore, behold, also his blood is required.” And they knew not that Joseph understood them; for he spake unto them by an interpreter. And he turned himself about from them, and wept; and returned to them again, and communed with them, and took from them Simeon, and bound him before their eyes.

Then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with corn, and to restore every man’s money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way: and thus did he unto them. And they laded their asses with the corn, and departed thence. And as one of them opened his sack to give his ass provender in the inn, he espied his money; for, behold, it was in his sack’s mouth. And he said unto his brethren: “My money is restored; and, lo, it is even in my sack.” And their heart failed them, and they were afraid, saying one to another: “What is this that the One-who-Is hath done unto us?”

And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of Canaan, and told him all that befell unto them. Then they said, The lord of the land spake roughly to us, and took us for spies of the country. And in this wise did we speak unto him concerning our father and our brother at home, and the governor demanded of us, to verify the truth of our words, that we should bring our brother unto him.

And Jacob their father said unto them: “Me have ye bereaved of my children: Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin away: all these things are against me!” And Reuben spake unto his father, saying: “Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to thee; deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him to thee again.” And he said: “My son shall not go down with you – for his brother is dead, and he is left alone; if mischief befall him by the way in the which ye go, then shall ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.”

And the famine was sore in the land, and when they had eaten up the corn, at the last, Jacob had to send his sons again into Egypt. And they spake unto him, saying that without Benjamin they could not see the man’s face. And Israel said: “Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother?” And they said: “The man asked us straitly of our state, and of our kindred, saying, ‘Is your father yet alive? have ye another brother?’ and we told him according to the tenor of these words: could we certainly know that he would say, ‘Bring your brother down’?” And their father Israel said unto them: “If it must be so now, do this; take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels, and carry down the man a present – even a little balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts, and almonds. Take also your brother, and arise, go again unto the man. And the One-who-Is, The Omnipotent One give you mercy before the man, that he may send away your other brother, and Benjamin. If I be bereaved of my children, I am bereaved!”

And when they came before Joseph and he saw Benjamin his brother, he said to the ruler of his house: “Bring these men home, and slay, and make ready; for these men shall dine with me at noon.” And the man brought the men into Joseph’s house; and he gave them water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their asses provender. And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand and bowed themselves to him to the earth. And he asked them of their welfare, and said: “Is your father well, the old man of whom ye spake? Is he yet alive?” And they answered: “Thy servant our father is in good health, he is yet alive.” And they bowed down their heads, and made obeisance. And Joseph lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother’s son, and said: “Is this your younger brother, of whom ye spake unto me?” And he said: “Love be gracious unto thee, my son!” And Joseph made haste, for his bowels did yearn upon his brother, and he sought where to weep; and he entered into his chamber, and wept there. And he washed his face, and went out, and refrained himself, and said: “Set on bread!”

And as soon as the morning was light, the brethren of Joseph were sent away, they and their asses, with the food they had bought; only into Benjamin’s sack, at the commandment of Joseph, was his silver cup hidden. Thus, Benjamin was overtaken and accused of theft. Then they rent their clothes, and returned with Benjamin unto the city. And Judah and his brethren came and fell before him to the ground, at Joseph’s feet. And Joseph said unto them: “What deed is this that ye have done? wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?” And Judah said: “What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? The One-who-Is hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are my lord’s servants, both we, and he also with whom the cup is found.” And he said: “The One-who-Is forbid that I should do so: but the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant; and as for you, get you up in peace unto your father.”

Then Judah came near unto him, and explained that without Benjamin they could not return unto their father, saying: “Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad be not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad’s life; it shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not with us, that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave. For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, ‘If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame to my father forever.’ Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren. For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me? lest peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my father.”

Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that stood by him; and he cried: “Cause every man to go out from me!” And there stood no man with Joseph while he made himself known unto his brethren. And he wept aloud, so that the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard it. And Joseph said unto his brethren: “I am Joseph; doth my father yet live?” And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence. And Joseph said unto his brethren: “Come near to me, I pray you.” And they came near. And he said: “I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt. Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for Love did send me before you to preserve life. So now it was not you that sent me hither, but the One-who-Is: and He hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt. Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus saith thy son, ‘Love hath made me lord of all Egypt: come down unto me, tarry not! And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto me – thou, and thy children, and thy children’s children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast. And there will I nourish thee; for yet there are five years of famine; lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast, come to poverty.’” And he fell upon his brother Benjamin’s neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck. Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and after that his brethren talked with him.

My love... How true it is that Love directeth all things in the interest of those chosen and loved by Him! This day I wrote to thee: “I want to ask thy forgiveness for something... Though it is not my fault... Forgive me that I am not normal... I refer to destiny... In many respects, my life hath not depended upon me, nor upon those around me... It depended not upon my mother that I exist... It depended not upon men that I arrived hither... It depended not even upon us... I would have wished that matters had stood otherwise... Long ago, years ago, that I had told thee of love, that I had behaved otherwise toward thee, but it depended not upon me... It depended not upon us... The stars had their own scenario for us... Peradventure, within their timelessness, they saw us as special – I have no knowledge... I know only that they bound us one to the other, and together unto themselves... Forgive me, though it is not my fault.”

And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father, and told him, saying: “Joseph is yet alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt.” And Jacob’s heart fainted, for he believed them not. And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said unto them: and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived: And Israel said: “It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die.”

And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beer-sheba, and offered sacrifices unto the Love of his father Isaac. And Love spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said: “Jacob, Jacob!” And he said: “Here am I.” And the Purple One said: “I am the One-who-Is, the Love of thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation. I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee up again: and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes.”

And Jacob rose up from Beer-sheba: and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him. And they took their cattle, and their goods, which they had gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob, and all his seed with him: His sons, and his sons’ sons with him, his daughters, and his sons’ daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt.

And having arrived in Egypt, Israel said unto Joseph: “Now let me die, since I have seen thy face, because thou art yet alive.” And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying: “Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee: The land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land make thy father and brethren to dwell; in the land of Goshen let them dwell: and if thou knowest any men of activity among them, then make them rulers over my cattle.” And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh. And Pharaoh said unto Jacob: “How old art thou?” And Jacob said unto Pharaoh: “The days of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.” And Jacob blessed Pharaoh again, and went out from the presence of Pharaoh.

And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, and multiplied exceedingly. And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years. And the time drew nigh that Israel must die: and he called his son Joseph, and said unto him: “If now I have found grace in thy sight, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt: But I will lie with my fathers, and thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their burying-place.” And he said: “I will do as thou hast said.” And he said: “Swear unto me.” And he sware unto him. And Israel bowed himself upon the bed’s head.

And it came to pass after these things, that one told Joseph: “Behold, thy father is sick.” And Joseph took with him his two sons – Manasseh and Ephraim. And one told Jacob, and said: “Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee.” And Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed. And Jacob said unto Joseph: “The One-who-Is, The Omnipotent One appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me. And He said unto me, ‘Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people; and will give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession.’ And now thy two sons, which were born unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt, are mine; Ephraim and Manasseh shall be mine – as Reuben and Simeon. And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, shall be thine, and shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance.”

And Joseph took them both – Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel’s left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel’s right hand – and brought them near unto him. And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim’s head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh’s head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was the firstborn. And he blessed Joseph, and said: “Love before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk – Love which fed me all my life long unto this day – the Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth!”

And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father’s hand, to remove it from Ephraim’s head unto Manasseh’s head. And Joseph said unto his father: “Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head.” And his father refused, and said: “I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.” And he blessed them that day, saying: “By thee shall Israel bless, saying, ‘Love make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh!’” and he set Ephraim before Manasseh.

And Jacob called unto his sons, and said: “Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days. Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father.”

“Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power – unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up to thy father’s bed; then defiledst thou it: he went up to my couch.”

“Simeon and Levi are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in their habitations. O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honor, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their self-will they digged down a wall. Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.”

“Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father’s children shall bow down before thee. Judah is a lion’s whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up? The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come [the scarlet heir], and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass’s colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes: His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.”

“Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he shall be for an haven of ships; and his border shall be unto Zidon.”

“Issachar is a strong ass couching down between two burdens: And he saw that rest was good, and the land that it was pleasant; and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto tribute.”

“Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel. Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path – biting the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.”

“I have waited for Thy salvation, O One-who-Is! Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last.”

“Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties.”

“Naphtali is a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words.”

“Joseph is a fruitful bough – even a fruitful bough by a well – whose branches run over the wall. The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him: But his arc abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob; and from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel. Even by the work of the Love of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the work of the Omnipotent One, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb. The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.”

“Benjamin shall raven as a wolf: in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.”

These were the last words of Israel, spoken as a purple contract and blessing upon his sons. And when he had made an end of commanding his sons, Israel “gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, and was gathered unto his people.” Joseph, together with all his house, carried the body of Israel into Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah; and afterward they returned into Egypt.

And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father’s house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years. And he took an oath of his sons, charging them that when the time should be fulfilled and Israel should depart out of Egypt – even as Love had spoken – “with great substance”, they should not leave his body there.

Now there arose up a new Pharaoh over Egypt, which knew not Joseph, so that the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with hard bondage.

***

My love... I know that this section hath been longer and filled with historical events that came to pass a long season ago. It is the history before the birth of a nation. I could style it the “gestation period” of the people of Israel, because the people of Israel were born in Egypt, during that season of “hard bondage”.

The little-known matter is that there, unto Israel, were born two sons out of the twelve tribes. One son awaited Moses, whereas another departed out of bondage before Moses appeared. Immediately after the oppression of the Egyptians began, the most courageous out of the twelve tribes of Israel departed out of Egypt. These came not forth with substance, neither saw they great signs and wonders; they passed not through the wilderness, nor worshipped they the golden calf, neither received they the ten commandments; they knew not the Cloud and the Tabernacle of the Congregation, neither ate they manna, nor delighted their lips with quails; they passed not over Jordan, and never saw they Canaan. Whither they departed, they found heathenism and idolatry; with the passing of time, they forgot the token of the purple contract within the flesh; they conquered peoples, formed nations, and brought forth emperors and kings.

They are scattered throughout the world, and the most part of them are within Europe. They are the invisible israel. They await their departure out of egypt. Though they came forth physically then, egypt remained within them. They await their deliverer, a moses of their own, and a new contract; this time it shall be a scarlet contract, wherein Love shall write the Law of Love as a contract within the flesh, yet in their heart. Concerning these things it is spoken through the prophets which say: “Therefore, behold, the days come,” saith the One-who-Is, “that it shall no more be said, ‘As the Purple One liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt!’, but, ‘As the Purple One liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither He had driven them!’ For I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers.”

And in another part it is written: “Thus saith the Purple One, Love: ‘Behold, I will no more suffer the children of Israel to wander among the heathen, whither they be gone, but I will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land: And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all: Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwelling-places, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be My people, and I will be their Love. And My servant david [the scarlet heir] shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in My judgments, and observe My statutes, and do them. And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto My servant Jacob, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children’s children forever: and My servant david [the scarlet heir] shall be their prince forever. Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set My Sanctuary in the midst of them forevermore. My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their Love, and they shall be My people. And the heathen shall know that I am Love which sanctify Israel, when My Sanctuary shall be in the midst of them forevermore.’”

I detain thy attention yet further with one aspect. It is spoken and believed, according to the teachings delivered by the gods, that a Hebrew or an heir to a purple contract is only he whose mother is an Hebrewess – an heiress to a purple contract. This matter is not true. By this logic, no man is an Hebrew, for not one of the mothers of Israel was an Hebrewess: neither Sarah, the wife of Abraham, nor Rebekah, the wife of Isaac, nor any of the wives of Jacob – Rachel, Leah, Bilhah, and Zilpah – and neither was the wife of Joseph, Asenath, the daughter of Poti-pherah, whose sons were blessed and adopted by Jacob, thus offering unto Joseph a double portion of inheritance.

The misunderstanding cometh from a commandment delivered through Moses, whose purpose was to protect the children born only of Hebrew mothers, without their fathers being Hebrews. This ordinance was an additional commandment to the basic rule according to which any Hebrew begettest a Hebrew, regardless of the nationality of the child’s mother. At that season, the question arose concerning the children born only of Hebrew mothers. The additional commandment doth not disannul the Law of Love upon whose basis the purple contracts are inherited, but only completeth it. A Hebrew is anyone within whose soul are found three threads of color – Abraham, Isaac, and Israel –, regardless of the way he inherited them: mother and father, father alone, or mother alone.

Thus, the Hebrews are without number. As for the scarlet heir, because his appearance within history shall be at the boundary where the Scarlet One shall yield the governance of the Earth unto the Purple One (again), the heir must have within his soul a minimum of seven colors, of necessity: Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, together with David and Solomon, as well as Joseph and Ephraim. These are conditions revealed through the prophets. On the other hand, the Purple Man, who was to die for man and for the angels, was required to have within his soul a minimum of five colors: Adam, Abraham, Isaac, Israel, and David. The Purple Man was to resolve the problem of Adam and of the angels, and the scarlet heir was to resolve the problem of Israel, both the visible and the invisible. And the relation between the two was to be in the form of a relation between Purple Father and scarlet son, according to the prophecies:

“And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I [the Purple One] will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build an house for My name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. I will be his Father, and he shall be My son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men: But My mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee. And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established forever before Me: thy throne shall be established forever.”

“Behold the man whose name is the branch [the scarlet heir]; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the Temple of Love. Even he shall build the Temple of Love; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both [the Purple Father and the scarlet heir].”

“Blessed is that servant [the scarlet heir], whom his lord [the Purple One], when He cometh, shall find so doing! Verily I say unto you, That He shall make him ruler over all His goods.”

Moses was in Midian when he met for the first time with the Purple One. He was pasturing the flock of his father-in-law. He had arrived upon the mountain of the One-who-Is, at Horeb. There the Purple Archangel appeared unto Moses in a flame of fire, in the midst of a bush that burned and was not consumed. Love called him by name and said unto him, “Moses! Moses! I am the Love of thy father, the Love of Abraham, the Love of Isaac, and the Love of Jacob. I have surely seen the affliction of My people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows. And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey. Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto Me, and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them. Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth My people the children of Israel out of Egypt.”

Moses was he who had survived by a miracle, given the commandment in Egypt that every male child born among the Hebrew slaves should be put to death. The mother of Moses, after his birth, placed him in a little ark made of bulrushes and laid it among the reeds by the river’s brink. The daughter of Pharaoh found him and brought him up at the courts of Egypt as her own son. Thus did Moses become a prince of Egypt; yet, beholding the oppressions of the Egyptians upon his brethren, on one occasion, leaping to the aid of a Hebrew, he slew an Egyptian. The deed of Moses came to the ears of Pharaoh, and Moses, to save his life, fled toward the wilderness. Arriving in Midian, he was received into the house of Jethro the priest, who gave him Zipporah, one of his daughters, to wife. Thus did Moses become a shepherd of the flocks of his father-in-law, thus did he arrive with the flocks upon the mountain of Love, thus did the Purple Prince come before him and he was sent into Egypt, unto Israel, to be the deliverer from bondage sent by Love.

The One-who-Is assured Moses that He would be with him, and that signs and wonders should accompany him to help him deliver the children of Israel out of bondage. Love said unto him, “Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve Love upon this mountain.”

Moses asked that the name of Love be made known unto him, so that he might know what to say unto his brethren when they should ask him who had sent him unto them. Love said unto Moses, “I-am the One-who-Is... He who is called I-Am hath sent me unto you. I-Am the Love of your fathers, the Love of Abraham, the Love of Isaac, and the Love of Jacob hath sent me unto you. This is My Name forever, and this is My Memorial unto all generations.”

Moses was sent unto Pharaoh with the words of Love, unto whom he was to say, “The One-who-Is, the Love of the Hebrews, hath met with us. Let us go, we pray thee, three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice unto the One-who-Is, our Love.”

Moses was told that Love knoweth that Pharaoh will not let them go, no, not except by a mighty hand. Furthermore, He assured Moses that He, the Purple One, would stretch out His hand upon Egypt and smite it with all His wonders which He would do in the midst thereof; and after that they should be let go, and not empty-handed, but with great riches.

Moses was given the power to work wonders. His rod, when cast upon the ground, became a serpent, and his hand, when put into his bosom, was filled with leprosy. Upon taking the serpent by the tail, it became a rod once more, and upon putting his hand again into his bosom, it was made whole again. The third wonder which he was given to perform was the power to turn water into blood: the water taken by him from the river and poured upon the dry land was turned into blood. These wonders were not wrought by Moses, but Love – an α-material Being, who accompanied Moses – did perform them.

Love assured Moses that the way had been prepared before him, and that all they which sought his life were, in the meantime, dead. He was to meet his brother Aaron, and with him go unto the elders of Israel, to tell them that which I-Am had commanded him.

Moses took his wife and his two sons whom Zipporah had borne unto him, and set them upon asses, and, with the rod of Love in his hand, he returned toward Egypt. Aaron, his brother, met him, and together they gathered all the elders of the children of Israel.

Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, “Thus saith the One-who-Is, the Love of Israel: ‘Let My people go, that they may hold a feast unto Me in the wilderness.’” And Pharaoh said, “Who is I-Am, that I should obey His voice to let Israel go? I know not the One-who-Is, neither will I let Israel go.” And they said, “The Love of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days’ journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto the One-who-Is; lest He fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.” And the king of Egypt said unto them, “Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, let the people from their works? get you unto your burdens.”

From that time forth, Pharaoh increased yet more the tasks of the Hebrew slaves, laying heavier labor upon them and hardening their conditions. In these circumstances, the children of Israel turned against Moses and against Aaron, saying, “The One-who-Is look upon you, and judge; because ye have made our savor to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us.”

Now was the moment for Love to work for the deliverance of His people and, according to the promise made upon the basis of the purple contract, to press upon Egypt with a strong hand, that at last He might let His people go. The One-who-Is said unto Moses, “I-Am the One-who-Is. I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob as the One-who-Is, The Omnipotent One, but by My Name as I-Am was I not known to them. And I have also established My purple contract with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their holy journeys, wherein they dwelt as strangers. And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage, and I have remembered My covenant. Wherefore say unto the children of Israel: ‘I-Am the One-who-Is. I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments. And I will take you to Me for a people; I will be your Love, and ye shall know that I, the One-who-Is, am your Love, who bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for a heritage; I, the One-who-Is.’”

The One-who-Is said unto Moses, “See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh, and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet. Thou shalt speak all that I command thee, and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land. And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt. But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay My hand upon Egypt, and bring forth My armies, and My people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments. And the Egyptians shall know that I-Am the One-who-Is, when I stretch forth My hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.”

Moses and Aaron went in again before Pharaoh. Moses, at the commandment of the One-who-Is, wrought wonders before Pharaoh. Moses cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and it became a serpent, yet Pharaoh called certain gods and magicians, and the magicians of Egypt did in like manner with their enchantments, for they were men with a gray contract in relation to the ex-cherubim. Every magician of Egypt cast down his rod, and they materialized into serpents, but the rod of Moses (Love) swallowed up those serpents of the magicians; yet Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto Moses and unto Aaron.

Thus did Egypt behold the first plague sent by Love in the purpose of the Purple One to deliver His people out of bondage. Early in the morning, Moses presented himself before Pharaoh, demanding that he let the people of Love go, that they might serve Him in the wilderness. Pharaoh resisted, and then Aaron stretched out his rod upon the river, and all the waters of the river were turned to blood, and all the fish died, and the river stank, and the Egyptians could no longer drink of the water of the river; and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt. And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments, and Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, neither did he hearken unto them, even as Moses and Aaron had spoken.

And seven days were fulfilled, after that the Purple One sent Moses again unto Pharaoh. It was the moment of the second plague. Moses demanded again of Pharaoh permission that the people of Israel depart, that they might serve Love in the wilderness. He resisted once more, and then Aaron stretched forth his hand with his rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds; and frogs came up, and covered all the land of Egypt. And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs also upon the land of Egypt. Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, “Entreat your Love that He may take away the frogs, promising that I will let Israel go, that they may do sacrifice unto Love.” And on the morrow, all the frogs died, and the whole land stank; yet Pharaoh hardened his heart, and he let the people of Israel not depart.

Upon the occasion of the third plague, Aaron stretched forth his hand with his rod and smote the dust of the earth; and it became lice upon man and upon beast throughout all the land of Egypt. And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not. Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, “This is the finger of Love!” And Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them, even as Moses and Aaron had spoken.

The moment of the fourth plague had come. Moses and Aaron presented themselves once more before Pharaoh, saying unto him on behalf of Love, “Let My people go, that they may serve Me. Else, if thou wilt not let My people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thy houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground whereon they are. And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which My people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end thou mayest know that I, the One-who-Is, am in the midst of the earth. And I will put a division between My people and thy people: tomorrow shall this sign be.” And Love did so; and there came a grievous swarm of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants’ houses, and into all the land of Egypt. And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, “Go ye, sacrifice to your Love in the land.” And Moses said, “It is not meet so to do; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to our Love: lo, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and will they not stone us? We will go three days’ journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to our Love, as the Purple One shall command us.” And Pharaoh said, “I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to your Love in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away: entreat for me.” Yet, as soon as the flies departed, Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let the people go.

Upon the occasion of the fifth plague, Moses said unto Pharaoh that, if he would not let Israel go, “behold, the hand of the One-who-Is is upon thy cattle which is in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep: there shall be a very grievous murrain. And Love shall sever between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt: and there shall nothing die of all that is the children’s of Israel.” And on the morrow, all the cattle of Egypt died, “but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.” Yet even now Pharaoh let Israel not go, for his heart was hardened.

The time of the sixth plague had come. Moses and Aaron took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven, and it became a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast. Even the magicians of Egypt could not stand before Moses because of the boils, for the boil was upon the magicians and upon all the Egyptians. Yet Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them.

Upon the occasion of the seventh plague, Moses and Aaron presented themselves before Pharaoh on behalf of Love, with this message: “Let My people go, that they may serve Me. For I will at this time send all My plagues upon thy heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like Me in all the earth. For now I will stretch out My hand, that I may smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth. And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to show in thee My power; and that My Name may be declared throughout all the earth. As yet exaltest thou thyself against My people, that thou wilt not let them go? Behold, tomorrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof even until now. Send therefore now, and gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field; for upon every man and beast which shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die.”

He that feared the word of Love among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses, but they which regarded not listened not. And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven, and the Purple One sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground. “And the hail smote, and the fire was mingled with the hail; the hail was so grievous that there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation. And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and brake every tree of the field. Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail.” And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, “I have sinned this time: the One-who-Is is righteous, and I and my people are wicked. Entreat the One-who-Is for it is enough that there be no more mighty thunderings and hail, and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer.” And upon the stretching forth of the hands of Moses unto Love, the thunders ceased, and the hail stayed, and the rain was not poured upon the earth. Yet Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto Moses and unto Aaron.

Locusts smote Egypt in the eighth plague. Moses had said unto Pharaoh, “How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before Me? let My people go, that they may serve Me. Else, if thou refuse to let My people go, behold, tomorrow will I bring the locusts into thy coast: and they shall cover the face of the earth, that one cannot be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field: and they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; which neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers’ fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day.” Pharaoh would not hearken. “And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the coasts of Egypt: very grievous were they; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such. For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there remained not any green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the land of Egypt.” Once more, Pharaoh acknowledged his fault and promised that, if the locusts were removed by Love, he would let Israel go. The locusts were removed, yet Pharaoh turned back his word, for his heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto Moses and unto Aaron.

The hour of the penult plague, the ninth, had come: darkness for three days over all the land of Egypt. “They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.” Yet Pharaoh even then let Israel not depart; his heart was hardened.

The tenth plague was to be that which should put an end to Pharaoh’s resistance in letting the children of Israel depart out of Egypt, which had heavily oppressed them with bondage. In the wake of this plague, Israel was even to be thrust out, yet not empty-handed, but with the “wages” which had been denied them in the years of slavery. The One-who-Is had said unto Abraham, “And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.”

In the meantime, not only had Moses and Aaron become emblems of the Purple One among the Egyptians, but the entire people of Israel, in the wake of the nine plagues that had fallen upon Egypt, was now looked upon with different eyes. They were no longer common slaves upon whose backs Egypt had flourished and grown, but they were the heirs of the purple contract, the people of Love who manifested Herself with power in the jealousy of the One-who-Is for His sons and daughters – those whom, out of all nations, He had chosen. It was seen how Love, though She poureth out Her blessings upon both the good or pink, and the evil or gray, yet, when it is a matter of making a distinction between the purple ones chosen by the Archangel and the rest of the world, things stand otherwise.

Whosoever toucheth the purple ones committeth a trespass and an assault upon the good or property of Love. All they that are born of Adam are heirs of a pink contract, all are the object of the love of the One-who-Is, all abide under the protection of the angels, for all is salvation pursued, and for all are immeasurable efforts made to deliver them from the gray and from death. Notwithstanding, the heirs of the purple contract enjoy special conditions, they being chosen as the firstborn of Love. In a conflict between the gray and the pink, the pink have the support of Love; one cannot speak of a conflict between the pink and the purple, for, in essence, the purple ones must needs be pink. Yet, in a conflict between the gray and the purple ones, Love maketh a distinction: Love upholdeth the purple ones, regardless whether they be pink or gray, yet She doeth so at a chosen season. Years or millennia of bondage may pass wherein, seemingly, the purple ones are forsaken, yet, at the season chosen by Love, Love not only delivereth Her captives, but also avengeth them. The tarrying of Love may be long, yet the deliverance and the vengeance of the One-who-Is have ever been determined, manifest, wondrous, and, for the most part, swift as lightning.

Moses presented himself before the great god of Egypt and said unto Pharaoh, on behalf of the Purple Love, these words: “About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt: and all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts. And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there was none like it, nor shall be like it any more. But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how that Love doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel. And all these thy servants shall come down unto me, and bow down themselves unto me, saying, ‘Get thee out, and all the people that follow thee!’ and after that I will go out.”

At midnight, Love “smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.” And there was a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt; for the whole of Egypt mourned its firstborn, beginning with Pharaoh, who wept for his firstborn, and ending with the least among the Egyptians, who wailed for his own firstborn. “And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, ‘Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the One-who-Is, as ye have said. Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also.’ And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, ‘We be all dead men.’”

This event, the smiting of the firstborn of Egypt, had been prepared in the houses of the people of Israel at the commandment of Love given through Moses two weeks prior, when the One-who-Is required of His people to set that day apart as the first day of the first month (Nisan or Abib). All the Jews, on the tenth day, four days before the event at Egypt’s midnight, took into their houses each a lamb (or a kid) without blemish, and for four days they reared it and kept it within their houses as a member of the family, to the end that, between the going down of the Sun and midnight, it should be slain and then eaten in its entirety by all those present in that house. Only the heirs of the purple contract were permitted to eat thereof, and the lamb (or kid) had to be roast with fire, neither sodden at all with water, nor raw. Anything which remained of it until the morning had to be, that same morning, consumed with fire. The lamb had to be eaten with unleavened bread and bitter herbs; these had to be eaten in haste, with their loins girded, their shoes on their feet, and their staves in their hand; it was the feast of Love, the Passover of the Purple One.

In this event was portrayed the tragedy of Love who was to sacrifice everything for the redemption and the payment of the guilt of sin of men and angels, of those who once were gray, yet turned toward the pink, toward Love. After nearly four earthly millennia or four weeks according to the time of the Citadel, the Purple Prince was to be born of a woman (the seed of Eve), was to live without spot or blemish, was to be pink, and in the end was to die. Thus, the Blue Love felt within Her own heart the death of Her own Firstborn (adopted), the death of the Purple One in the stead of man (or angel) guilty and condemned to death by the broken Law of Love. In the wailing of Egypt was seen the wailing of the Citadel, and in the deliverance of the people of Israel was seen the victory of Love over the gray; there was seen the vengeance of the pink ones and the making of all things new, the bringing of the entire Universe into its initial state, that which is without gray.

Even as the Jews, the heirs of the purple contract, upon the occasion of this event of deliverance, had marked the doors of every house with the blood of the slain lamb (or kid), namely the upper door post and the two side posts, as a distinctive token of setting apart and, at once, as a protective sign, even so were the timeless effects of the sacrifice of the Purple One, His sacrifice of blood, to mark distinctively the pink ones of all times, from the first generation of men, the generation of father Adam, unto the last generation of men, the generation of the scarlet heir.

All the pink ones were to benefit from the effects of the sacrifice of the Firstborn (adopted) of Love. In the hearts of all, the effects of the sacrifice of all times were to be seen. In the hearts of all, the angels were to see the pink markings of Love; thus, the α-substances became active, and their result was to be seen in the lives of those redeemed and made “new” by Love; the fruits of the Purple Tree of life were to be seen: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance. This pink marking upon the soul, upon the heart, upon the forehead, and upon the hand was later to be the criterion by which some were to be raised at the first resurrection – the resurrection of the pink ones – while others were to be left in their dust and raised at the second resurrection, that of the gray ones, unto their judgment and permanent, definitive execution; an irreversible consuming, the destiny of the ex-cherubim and of all the gray ones.

Returning to Egypt... the Egyptians, mourning and marked by this painful loss of their firstborn, thrust out the Jews from Egypt, together with all that they had: sheep and oxen. Unto these delivered from bondage was joined also “a mixed multitude... and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.” With the dough which they had brought with them, which was not leavened, they baked unleavened cakes, which served them for food for seven days, “because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victual.” “Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years. And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of Love went out from the land of Egypt. It is a night to be much observed unto Love for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the One-who-Is to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations.”

Upon this occasion, Love required that Israel set apart every firstborn, both of man and of beast. The One-who-Is said: “Every firstborn is Mine.” Every firstborn was to be dedicated unto Love: “even every firstborn among the cattle which thou shalt have; every male is Love’s”. Thus was the memory of the miraculous exodus of Israel from Egypt to be kept alive. Every firstborn among the purple ones had to belong to Love, and otherwise, had to be redeemed with a price. Initially, the purpose of the Purple One was that from each of these firstborn of all the tribes of Israel, Love should make a special lineage of priests to serve Him at the Temple (the Tabernacle of the Congregation), yet this purpose was thwarted through the inclination toward the gray and idolatry; Love was compelled, for a season, to choose the tribe of Levi as priests; yet this priesthood was to be temporary, until the coming of the Purple Man, and after the coming of the scarlet heir, the initial purpose was to be activated once more, through the choosing by Love of His sons and daughters, the purple firstborn both of the invisible Israel and of the visible Israel, the first ones of the last generation.

These shall be eternal priests of Love together with the scarlet prince (the new Moses); they shall be considered the lineage of Zadok (pink), yet not after the Levitical law, but after the Priestly Law of Melchizedek, the Scarlet One... They shall be those adopted as firstborn of the Scarlet One and shall be heirs of a scarlet contract, a new covenant, a covenant of a pink heart, such as hath not been in any other generation since Adam and Eve believed the serpent. In the right of these sons and daughters, the purple and scarlet ones, shall the words be fulfilled:

“As the morning is spread upon the mountains, so cometh a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations. A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth... Their appearance 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 One-who-Is 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 One-who-Comes is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?”

“And I will restore to you – the Scarlet One – the years that the locust hath eaten... And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the Name of the One-who-Comes – the Purple One –, your Love, who hath dealt wondrously with you: and My people shall never be ashamed! And ye shall know that I-Am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the One-who-Comes, your Love, and none else: and My people shall never be ashamed... For... I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: and also upon the servants and upon the handmaids [heirs of a gray contract] in those days will I pour out My Spirit. And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The Sun shall be turned into darkness, and the Moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the One-who-Comes come. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the Name of the One-who-Is shall be delivered: for in mountain Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as Love hath said, and in the remnant whom the One-who-Is shall call.”

“For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for My people and for My heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted My land. And they have cast lots for My people; and have given a boy for a harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink. Yea, and what have ye to do with Me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render Me a recompense? and if ye recompense Me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompense upon your own head; because ye have taken My silver and My gold, and have carried into your temples My goodly pleasant things: the children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the Grecians, that ye might remove them far from their border. Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will return your recompense upon your own head: and I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a people far off: for Love hath spoken it.”

“So shall ye know that I am the One-who-Is, your Love, dwelling in Zion, My holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more... Egypt shall be a desolation... Edom (the land of the gray ones) shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah... But Judah shall dwell forever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation. For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: and the Institution of Love shall dwell in Zion.”

The people of Israel departed from Egypt by a roundabout way. Love ensured that the people would return to Egypt no more and, to this end, led them toward the wilderness, toward the Red Sea. “And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children... And the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt.” At their departure they took also the bones of Joseph, for the children of Israel had sworn unto him that they would not leave his bones in the land of Egypt.

I explain something to you: the bones of Joseph were not taken to be made into a cause for pilgrimage, nor for veneration or worship, but they were taken to be buried in the promised land; these were buried later at Shechem, in the land inherited by the sons of Joseph, in the promised land. There is nowhere in the Scriptures any commandment by which the veneration of the bones of any man would be permitted, but, on the contrary, this is considered idolatry, a flagrant violation of the Law of Love, and the punishment for violating the Law of Love is the second death or consumption toward non-existence... I have finished this explanation as well.

No nation was ever formed like the nation of Israel, and no nation was ever delivered with signs and wonders like Israel. Love escorted Her chosen ones on their journey toward the promised land; “Love went before them by day in a pillar of cloud, to lead them the way, and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light, to go by day and night. He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.” This phenomenon cannot be explained by universal constants. The pillar of cloud by day was not a natural phenomenon, nor was the pillar of fire by night a natural phenomenon. The Purple Archangel chose to materialize in this manner... It was a Miracle by day, it was a Miracle by night.

The people of Love had reached the land near the seashore when the heart of Pharaoh was hardened once more. Pharaoh armed himself as if for war and, with all his hosts, departed in haste to overtake the slaves who had abandoned their labor to worship Love in the wilderness. “But the Egyptians pursued after them, and all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, overtook them encamping by the sea.” Then, the children of Israel, looking back, saw the army of Egypt marching after them; they were sore afraid, cried out unto the Pillar of cloud before them, and said unto Moses: “Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? Wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt? Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, ‘Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.” But Moses, the shepherd of Midian, the man of the Purple One, quieted them, saying: “Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of Love, which She will show to you this day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen today, ye shall see them again no more forever. The One-who-Is shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.”

Love commanded the people to march toward the Red Sea, saying unto Moses: “But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.” The Purple Archangel, who until then had gone before them, moved His presence (the cloud, the fire) behind His people, placing Himself between His beloved ones and the hosts of Egypt. Toward the hosts of Egypt it was a cloud of darkness, but toward His people it gave light. All through the night it was so, and the two camps were separated in this manner. Then, Moses stretched out his hand over the sea. And the sea was driven back by a strong east wind that blew with power all that night; the waters were divided, and in the place left by them a path was made for the people of Israel. The children of Israel went through the midst of the sea on dry ground, and the waters stood as a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.

The Egyptians pursued after them, “and all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen went in after them into the midst of the sea.” And it came to pass, that in the morning watch Love looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of cloud, and they were sore afraid and filled with panic. The unseen angels of Love took off the wheels of the Egyptian chariots and made them to drive heavily. The Egyptians perceived that the One-who-Is fought against them. They sought to flee back toward Egypt, but it was too late; Moses, at the commandment of Love, stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the waters returned upon Pharaoh and all the hosts of war of Egypt; there remained not so much as one of them. “And Israel saw that great work which the One-who-Is did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the One-who-Is, and believed the One-who-Is, and his servant Moses.”

Then Moses sang unto Love a song of praise for the miracles She had wrought for the deliverance of the people of Israel. The final verses of this psalm look toward that which Love will do for the purple chosen ones of the last generation: “All the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away. Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of Thine arm they shall be as still as a stone, till Thy people pass over! Till the people pass over, which Thou hast purchased. Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of Thine inheritance, in the place which Thou hast made for Thee to dwell in, at the Temple which Thy hands have established! And Love shall reign for ever and ever.”

In their journey, after three days of walking through the wilderness, the people found no water. Having arrived at a place called Marah (Bitterness), they found water, but they could not drink of it, for the waters were bitter. The people began to murmur. Then, at the guidance of Love, the waters were made sweet. There, Love gave the people statutes and ordinances, and there the people were put to the proof. Love said unto them: “If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the One-who-Is, Love, and wilt do that which is right in His sight, and wilt give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am Love that healeth thee.”

A month after the departure from Egypt, the people in the wilderness of Sin began to complain once more, saying: “Would to God we had died by the hand of the One-who-Is in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.”

The Purple One answered Moses: “Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in My Law, or no. And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.” And Moses said unto the people: “Love shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the One-who-Is heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against Him: and what are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against Love.” Then, behold, the glory of Love appeared in the cloud, and the Purple One spake, saying: “I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, ‘At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the One-who-Is, your Love.’” And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host. “And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground.” Thus appeared the manna, the bread which Love had given unto Her people.

Love commanded: “Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your persons; take ye every man for them which are in his tents.” This manna was a miracle; not only was it an unnatural phenomenon, but it was also a lesson that the children of Israel were learning. They that gathered more than an omer found that they had no more upon their plate, and they that gathered less than an omer, when they came into the tent, to the table, found that they had sufficient to last them for a day. It was not to be left until the next day, being a lesson concerning the daily care of Love. Howbeit, not all hearkened, and they that attempted to keep it until the next day found that they had profited nothing, but, on the contrary, it bred worms and stank.

This manna, as the Sun arose, melted away... Whosoever awoke later found nothing left to gather. It was a daily exercise, even as the tithing which they had to learn anew to offer unto Love day by day, a tithing over time, over all that they possessed, and over all that they were.

On the seventh day the manna fell not, it was the Sabbath of Love; instead, on the sixth day a double portion could be gathered, enough for two days. Thus, that which was gathered on Friday sufficed for Saturday also, and it neither spoiled nor bred any worms. It was like coriander seed, white, and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.

Howbeit, some learned how matters stood with the Sabbath from their own experience. They went out on the Sabbath to gather, yet they found nothing. Although the ordinance concerning the Sabbath had been known by Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as well as the principles of tithing, the period of bondage, those four hundred and thirty years, had removed from the biological rhythm of the Hebrews the obligatoriness and the manner of keeping the Sabbath. They were now learning, once more, from the plate.

Love felt robbed by the disobedience of some and by their presence in the field on the Sabbath day to gather food. Food was the gift of Love, even as the Sabbath was the gift of Love. The Purple One was seeking to bring the primal atmosphere of the Garden of Eden into the midst of Her people, seeking to bring back those beautiful moments and golden seasons which She had shared at the beginning with Adam and Eve in their Garden, eating together of the fruits of the Garden and communing together concerning the Citadel and the principles that undergird the entire Universe. Howbeit, the pair from Eden had long since been dust in their grave, and now before Love stood a people brought out of Egypt, yet with principles and customs bred in bondage. Love, with the sorrow and nostalgia of that beautiful beginning with man in Eden, said unto Moses, concerning the people: “How long refuse ye to keep My commandments and My laws? See, for that Love hath given you the Sabbath, therefore She giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.” So the people understood that the seventh day is for rest. “And the children of Israel did eat manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat manna, until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.”

The lesson which Love gave unto the people of Israel concerning the Sabbath – a lesson learned upon the plate, week after week, for forty years, that is, for over fourteen thousand days – hath a bearing upon us as well. Israel, in a constant and repeated cyclicity, like a musical interval of six equal notes followed by a pause of the same duration, on over two thousand occasions, learned the rule that, before the pause of the seventh day, Love cared for Her beloved ones, giving them a double portion of food on the sixth day. The cyclicity of the Sabbath had no relation whatsoever to the equinox or to the position of the stars upon the horizon. For forty years, Israel kept the Sabbath week after week, without any interruption.

The Sabbath belongeth to the One-who-Is, not to the equinox or to the stars in the sky. It is kept week after week according to a single rule: six days for man, and the seventh for Love, regardless of the equinox or the stars. The Sabbath is determined by the rotation of the Earth upon its axis and is observed from the sunset of Friday until the sunset of Saturday. Any other teaching on this subject is a teaching come from the ex-cherubim, who, moreover, had the audacity to call themselves “archangels”, when only One is the Archangel, the Purple One; who is like unto Him? None is like unto Him, Love!

In the third month, the people of Israel came to the mountain of Love, into the wilderness of Sinai. Israel pitched their tents at the base of the mountain, and Moses went up the mountain unto the Purple One. Love said unto him: “Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel: ‘Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto Myself. Now therefore, if ye will obey My voice indeed, and keep the purple contract, My covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto Me above all people: for all the Earth is Mine: and ye shall be unto Me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.’”

Moses delivered the words of Love unto the elders of the people, and the people, with one voice, answered: “All that Love hath spoken we will do!” And Moses returned the answer of Israel unto the One-who-Is. Then, Love said unto Moses: “Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee forever.” And Moses told the words of Love unto the people.

Inasmuch as Love, in essence, is holy, and because the people of Israel were to receive from the One-who-Is the requirements of the Law of Love, the people had to be prepared and sanctified for two days. They were to wash their clothes, but not that alone: they themselves had to be clean. Bounds were also set, unto which the people could approach the mountain. The people were meeting with the Archangel, the Purple Prince. The presence of the Blue One or of the Scarlet One “unshielded” by His cherubim would have consumed them in less than the twinkling of an eye.

Love said unto Moses: “Go unto the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes. And be ready against the third day: for the third day the One-who-Is will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai. And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, ‘Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death. There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live.’ When the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.”

Moses went down unto the people with the commandment of the Holy One, saying unto the people: “Be ready against the third day: come not at your wives.”

And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount; the trumpet of the angel sounded exceeding loud, so that all the people was seized with fear. And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with the One-who-Is; and they stood at the nether part of the mount. “And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because Love descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.” And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and the Archangel answered him by a voice. And Love came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the Purple One called Moses up to the top of the mount; and Moses went up.

Love said unto Moses: “Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto the One-who-Is to gaze, and many of them perish. And let the priests also, which come near to Love, sanctify themselves, lest the One-who-Is break forth upon them.” And Love said unto him: “Away, get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto the One-who-Is, lest He break forth upon them.” So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them.

And Love spake all these words, saying:

1. “I am the One-who-Is, your Love, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before Me.”

2. “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I, the One-who-Is, your Love, am a jealous Love, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me; and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love Me, and keep My commandments.”

3. “Thou shalt not take the name of the One-who-Is, the name of your Love, in vain; for Love will not hold him guiltless that taketh His name in vain.”

4. “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the One-who-Is Love, your Love: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: for in six days Love made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore Love blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.”

5. “Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the One-who-Is Love, your Love giveth thee.”

6. “Thou shalt not kill.”

7. “Thou shalt not commit adultery.”

8. “Thou shalt not steal.”

9. “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.”

10. “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor’s.”

And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off. And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where the One-who-Is was.

Love added to those things that were spoken, saying: “Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel: ‘Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven. Ye shall not make with Me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold. An altar of earth thou shalt make unto Me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record My name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee. And if thou wilt make Me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it. Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto Mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.’”

These were the words of Love, and within these Ten Commandments is contained the Law of Love. In the first four commandments we are shown how we must demonstrate love toward the One-who-Is, they being a translation into practical language of what it meaneth: “Thou shalt love the One-who-Was, the One-who-Is, the One-who-Comes with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might!” And the following six are a translation into practical language of what it meaneth: “Thou shalt love thy neighbor (thy brother) as thyself!”

Love chose to formulate the Law of Love in this manner, as an adaptation to the new conditions that arose following the fall of man into sin. This adaptation of the Law of Love was known by man from the very moment of his banishment from Eden. In the moment wherein Love placed before Adam and before Eve the two lambs for sacrifice – lambs from whose skins Love made garments for them to cover their nakedness – the Purple One spake before them the Law of Love formulated and adapted according to the new conditions. For the first human beings there was no need for a manifestation so terrifying as that wherein Love manifested Herself upon Mount Sinai. The first human beings had another manner of relating to Love, their love being at the beginning without any shadow of selfishness; howbeit, the millennia of gray and the carcinogenic influences from an α-substantial standpoint of the ex-cherubim upon humanity made it necessary that Love Herself should adapt. Man had become a slave in his very nature, the Law of Love was no longer in the natural way of man’s being, and in this manner the Purple One had to appear in a way that commanded fear and respect.

In all the history of mankind there hath never been a moment so solemn, and never were the words of Love spoken in an atmosphere so sacred and terrifying, in the midst of trumpets, of fire, of earthquake, and of the thick and dark cloud. Only once more in history shall these conditions be repeated (trumpet, angels upon the clouds, fire, hail, and earthquake): at the appearing of the One-who-Comes, the appearing upon the clouds of the Purple One, for the resurrection of the pink ones who, together with the living among the pink ones, shall all be caught up to celebrate in Sion the Feast of the Renewal.

The words spoken in the midst of the thunders and lightnings – the Ten Commandments – with the sound of trumpets between them, are the most heavily laden with authority of all time. The very conditions wherein they were spoken bring into relief their uniqueness and permanence. Like the Law of Love, they are impossible to abolish or to alter. They represent a unity, a common body. Thou canst not abolish one commandment without attacking the whole. To assault one commandment, be it even the least significant (according to the mind of some), meaneth to assault the Law of Love; it meaneth to assault the authority of Love and to jeopardize the equilibrium of the entire Universe, because the Law of Love is the foundation of life, the foundation of existence; upon its basis the Universe and all that is within it (including man) exist.

The ex-cherubim have fought against the Law of Love from the beginning; moreover, they taught men to invent every excuse or artifice in thought to violate one or all of these ten commandments. The ex-cherubim know the relationship that existeth between the Law of Love and the α-substances in man. They know that the Law of Love is the only true protection against their assaults; they know that a heart wherein the Law of Love is written is the strongest fortress against them and against all that is gray. They know that the Law of Love in the heart is the only thing that protecteth the pink in man, and that every pink man is a failure for the ex-cherubim in their battle to drag as many sons and as many daughters of Love after them, into non-existence. Thus they invented all manner of theories, as though the Law or certain commandments should no longer be kept, because man hath evolved so greatly in the spiritual realm that he hath become a god, above the Law. It is a lie! None is above the Law, not even Love, for if Love had been above the Law, She would not have had to die as payment for sin, in the place of him who was bound to die. The very death of the Lamb or of the Purple Man showeth that the Law cannot be abolished in any commandment, not even in the commandment “thou shalt not eat of the tree”.

In what a state we find ourselves today! Not one of the commandments hath remained unassaulted. Let us take the first commandment: “Thou shalt have no other gods before Me!” How many gods and “gods” are there not in the world that Love hath created? What percentage of the entire world map hath no other gods besides Love? What percentage of the Earth hath no more than one god? We might say that the “Christian” realm fareth better. We deceive ourselves, for the second commandment saith: “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness... Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them.” Are not the “Christian” churches full of images portraying Heavenly beings, when Love hath said: “Ye shall not make with Me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold”, “thou shalt not build it of hewn stone” – hewn with the chisel or painted with the brush? The “Christian” churches are full of gods unto whom the names of “saints” have been given, who from myths have reached Heaven, when, in reality, they are dead in their grave, awaiting the resurrection. Everything in the church that is an icon – painting or statue – is in fact an idol: a god or an ex-cherub. The “Christian” churches are just as full of idols and idolatry as the entire pagan world.

And there is yet another aspect, even more grievous: the most odious form of idolatry is narcissism! Nothing hath degraded the world wherein we find ourselves worse than this miserable form of worshiping another god or “god” – the very person in question. Narcissism is the most widespread form of manifestation of an inherited gray contract. And this form of idolatry appeareth in all manner of guises, and the most hideous are those manifested in the “spiritual” realm. This kind of narcissism hath not so much to do with the material sphere (how I look and what I possess), but more so with the “spiritual”: how “holy” he showeth himself before men and how beholden he considereth the One-who-Is to be unto him. Mere illusions! This kind of man, if a wretched one cometh to him and asketh of him a cent, he giveth it not, for he feareth lest he become guilty, that perchance the wretched one might drink it away or who knoweth what the miserable one might do with his cent; but if a god cometh to him and asketh of him ten thousand euros, or a hundred, he draweth it out of his pocket at once, without making any further grievance concerning what the god will do with his money; when the god asketh, it mattereth not; and the greater the god is, the more he giveth, hoping that the god will call him “good” – and it costeth the god nothing to speak so.

This is but one form of manifestation; I shall mention only one more and pass to another commandment, which is equally robbed of its value: narcissism in a very select form, which at times showeth signs of being humble; the narcissism within man toileth to appear humble before men and even sweateth in its effort. The truth is that, in reality, they view Love as a kind of shadow beside them, and when they worship, in truth, they worship themselves; to enter into strife with them meaneth to make for yourself an enemy for life, hidden within a “friend”, and to love a narcissist (in the sense of marriage) meaneth a condemnation to Dante’s “hell” upon Earth. Narcissists cannot love and know not how to love; love is from another world to them. They have but a single solution, like all, in fact, only that for them it is harder: the turning back from their gray way toward pink, toward Love, and this thing is a miracle! It is a miracle, because it is hard to perceive that thou art a narcissist; love alone betrayeth thee: art thou or art thou not? Dost thou love truly or not? If thou lovest, it is clear: thou art no narcissist. But it dependeth also on how thou lovest... pink or gray.

The third commandment: “Thou shalt not take the name of Love in vain”; here it is a matter of respect. Where, how, and in what context thou utterest or makest allusion to Love. It is a custom to say: “Lord, Lord!” almost anywhere. A few minutes ago thou didst utter Him, and now thou cursest or blasphemest as loud as thy lungs can bear, yea, thou even blendest them, making thy cursings more “sacred”. Thou hast no notion what thou art doing! When Love arose from the Throne, all the cherubim were silent; if there had been a tiny fly there, the noise of its wings would have been heard throughout the entire Citadel, yet not a single breath of a cherub would have been heard. We have no notion what “Holy is the One-who-Is” meaneth! Before we utter His name in any situation, we had rather bite our tongue or hold our lips between our teeth. His presence alone commandeth silence; yea, She is Love, yet precisely for the fact that She is love, She commandeth respect. Notwithstanding, we have perverted even the term “love”: we have come to make of “love” anything, and to associate it with everything – with cursings, and with blasphemies, and with the ex-cherubim.

Shall I mention the fourth commandment as well? How cometh it to pass that, of all the commandments, the only commandment wherein sanctification and blessing are remembered, is precisely the one we have forgotten the most? Let no man tell me that it hath been abolished! Everything that existeth in the Universe testifieth to its existence. Everything was made in six days, with rest on the seventh day. The foundation of the Universe is in the Sabbath. The Sabbath is the table whereupon Love placeth Herself upon the plate. She offereth Herself, saying: “Take, eat!”, “Drink!”. I-Am the Bread of life, I-Am the Water of life. Thus it hath been from the beginning, within the Citadel.

The cherubim are α-material beings, they eat not bread and drink not water as we do. And yet, they also have need of food. For them, worship is food. Love feedeth them. Relationship with Love giveth them life. Sabbath after Sabbath, Love is the Vine, and they are the branches. They depend upon Love existentially, and in the absence of Love they die, slowly, but surely. Are we above the cherubim? Are bread, water, and clothing all that we need? It is no wonder that few reach an hundred years. How long canst thou even live without Life, without Love? Thus it is understood: “The Sabbath was made for man (or cherub)” and “This is life eternal, that they might know Thee [the Scarlet One giveth knowledge today]... and Him [the Purple One] whom Thou [the Blue One] hast sent.”

There hath never been a commandment upon Earth more hunted by the ex-cherubim than the commandment “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.” The grievous matter is that those who ought to have promoted it the most, the “Christians”, have not only neglected it the most, but have also warred against this commandment, inventing all manner of excuses and motives, each more childish than the last: whether it be the “Resurrection”, or the “Pentecost”, or “lest we be like the Jews”, or that “we have no time”, or that it is more “beautiful” on Sunday. Where there is Law, no argument mattereth; the sole argument is that of the Law, which saith: thou art guilty, and as a consequence, “thou shalt die!”. With thy arguments, with the juggling of certain portions of text from the Scripture, with the insolence of believing thyself a god, above the Law, “thou shalt utterly die!”, for the wages of violating the Law is the second death or non-existence.

The first to cease keeping the Sabbath was Lucifer, and he it is who invented worship on the day of Sunday, the first day – the day wherein he was created. Worship on any other day than the Sabbath is not only a violation of the Law, but it is also idolatry, yea, even more: worship unto ex-Lucifer. Did he not desire this from the beginning? Was this not his reason for “revolution” within the Citadel? Did the serpent not suggest this very thing in Eden through the words: “ye shall be as Love?”, referring to himself as the object of worship.

All ancient paganism was ensnared in the worship of the ex-cherub, and “Christianity”, through Rome, inherited it: worship and a gray contract. And the most evident argument is “Christianity” itself. “Christianity”, because it hath no true worship (in Spirit and in Truth), is “dead” for the most part – in inherited customs and practices, in gray customs and practices –, and this cometh to pass because the only day sanctified and blessed by Love is the Sabbath of Love. No man can move the sanctification and blessing of Love from the Sabbath unto Sunday or unto any other day; it cannot be. The Legea Iubirii cannot be altered even a whit; either we alter ourselves according to it, or we receive its condemnation; there is no other way. The ex-cherubim know; now thou knowest as well.

The entire Universe keepeth the Sabbath! In the new Heavens and upon the new Earth which Love shall make, the Sabbath shall eternally be the day sanctified and blessed by Love, and all the pink ones shall be present on the Sabbath at the table prepared by Love. The prophecy is clear: “For as the new Heavens and the new Earth, which I will make, shall remain before Me – saith Love –, so shall your seed and your name remain. And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before Me – saith the One-who-Is.”

I love you!

I intended to close this section here, yet I must speak further concerning sanctification or concerning being pink. The commandment demandeth that the Sabbath be sanctified, “to keep it holy.” How do we sanctify the Sabbath? Can we sprinkle holy water over time? Can a day be sprinkled with “holy” water or with “pascha” (wine with bread)? What doth Love require of us?

The required sanctity is an inward state (in the soul) of pink, of love! Howbeit, this inward state hath to do with the body as well. Is not the body the vessel wherein the soul dwelleth, the inward universe of man with its threads of colors? And do we not have within the soul the imprint or the signature of the inherited contracts? The Sabbath, through the sanctification and blessing received from the One-who-Is, hath the power to annul gray contracts and to refresh pink, purple, blue, and scarlet contracts. There is a correlation between the sanctification which I receive in the Sabbath and the sanctification which I distribute upon the blessed and hallowed time, but also upon those with whom I interact. A network of threads of blessing and sanctification is created with Love and with those around me. The more dominant the pink is, the more easily the gray is scattered.

Love looketh generally upon the heart, yet sanctification hath to do with our bodies as well. We cannot be pink universes (pink souls) in gray bodies, we cannot be pink bodies in gray garments. This was precisely the reason why Love required the Hebrews to wash their clothes, but not their clothes alone: they themselves had to be clean. For two days a vow of chastity was demanded of them before they should present themselves before Love at Sinai. Not the manifestation of love between husband and wife in their bed was the issue, for Love had commanded “be fruitful, and multiply” – being clearly a matter of conjugal love –, howbeit, in the present situation, the presence of Love upon Mount Sinai required a special cleansing, and this implied restraint from all manner of defilement (secretions in the bed and upon the garments); they were, after all, in the austere conditions of the wilderness. The idea to be retained is that sanctification implieth in equal measure the garment that clotheth the body, even as the body that clotheth the soul. Thus I arrive at a delicate subject: even as the garment is the weaver’s fabric upon us, even so the body is the cook’s “fabric” upon us; the body is that which we eat.

In the world wherein we live there are two types of food: pink or gray, clean or unclean. The Jews, at that time, did eat manna – the bread from heaven fallen upon the earth like a dew –, and that food was pink; they did eat quails also, which were likewise pink. What dost thou eat when thou hast in plan to meet with Love? Love at Sinai was sensitive: She required of them clean clothes, washed bodies, a clean bed, and, as far as possible, pink hearts. How dost thou present thyself before Love? Perchance with thy garments thou farest well; we have automatic washing machines. Perchance with personal hygiene thou farest well also; we have bathrooms with showers. But how farest thou with thy refrigerator? What hast thou within it? What dost thou eat? Dost thou eat pink or gray? I repeat, thou canst not have a pink soul within a body wherein thou packest gray food.

The law of sanctification is a bit strange: one drop of gray contaminateth all the rest of the pink and maketh it gray. Here, the ratio of substances mattereth not. Thou canst possess tons of pink and thou canst contaminate them all with but a single milligram of gray. No man can sanctify the Sabbath by eating gray food. Whosoever maintaineth that the law of sanctification was only for the Jews and is no longer valid today is a liar and hath no notion what it meaneth to be holy, even as holy is the One-who-Is, according to the commandment: “Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I-Am holy!... Neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with [consuming] any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. For I-Am Love that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your Love, and to be holy: for I-Am holy.”

“These are the beasts [pink] which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth: whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat. Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof... Ye shall not eat the camel, the hare, the swine. These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat. And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you.”

“And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray, and the vulture, and the kite after his kind; every raven after his kind; and the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckoo, and the hawk after his kind, and the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl, and the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat. All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you. Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth; even these of them ye may eat: the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind.”

“Ye shall not make yourselves abominable [gray] with any creeping thing that creepeth; neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled [gray] thereby. For I-Am the One-who-Is, your Love. Ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy, for I-Am holy; neither shall ye make yourselves unclean (gray) with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. For I-Am the One-who-Is, that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your Love, and to be holy, for I-Am holy. This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth, to make a difference between the unclean [gray] and the clean [pink], between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.”

How greatly hath the world departed from these rules, and how have men come to eat anything, even though from the beginning, since Adam and Eve left Eden, it was not so. The first human beings knew of pink or gray food. Although we have no clear proof that the consumption of pink meat was forbidden before the flood, we read of Abel that he was a shepherd and that from his flocks he brought an offering unto Love. Later, we read of Noah, who in his ark had with him seven pairs of the pink animals, and of him it is also said that he brought an offering unto Love from the pink animals. Concerning Abraham we read the same thing, yea, even that he served Love by preparing for Her a calf, and that they did eat together. This rule of consuming pink animals always accompanied those of the beginning who held a pink contract, and from the wilderness of Sinai it accompanied those with a purple contract. We live in the times wherein a new covenant shall be initiated, namely the scarlet contract, and the rule concerning the consumption of pink animals shall accompany it.

It is a proof of (at least) negligence on the part of the gods who teach men that they should no longer make a difference between pink or gray animals, coming with all manner of arguments and erroneous interpretations of certain situations. As long as the commandment remaineth valid: “Be ye therefore perfect, even as the Blue One is perfect.”, just so long remaineth the requirement to consume only that which is pink. As for the Blue One, in His holiness, there is no man today capable of standing before Him without the fear of being consumed by His holiness in less than the twinkling of an eye. If the angels could no longer stand before Him – angels who, in their entire existence, never touched anything gray (in the sense of eating) –, how could we stand without fear, when, without atonement, we are all gray? Only the sacrifice of the Holy One and His atoning (cleansing) death will make our presence possible before the Blue One.

The required perfection, like unto His, is impossible to be achieved by us, who, by nature, have inclinations toward gray; only a new heart, cleansed by the blood of the Purple One, rendereth us worthy and maketh us pink to be able to stand before Love without fear. Howbeit, the fact of being made pink through atonement implieth also the responsibility to keep this state of pink and to avoid defiling it with gray, for, through gray, we cause the effects of the pink atonement to be of no effect; that is, through gray, we annual the atonement.

I repeat, a pink soul dwelleth within a pink body that feedeth pink, otherwise it cannot be; otherwise, the pink is, in truth, gray. Not in vain is it written: “Beware of false prophets! They come to you clothed in pink garments, but inwardly they are gray. Ye shall know them by their food. Do men gather pink grapes of gray thorns, or pink figs of gray thistles? Even so, every pink tree bringeth forth pink fruit, but a gray tree bringeth forth gray fruit. A pink tree cannot bring forth gray fruit, neither can a gray tree bring forth pink fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth pink fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their food ye shall know them.” No man can be truly pink by eating gray. The gray eaten by him will manifest in gray deeds. The very eating of gray is a disobedience in itself (“Thou shalt not eat!”), a violation of the Law, and without the Law thou art not pink.

I know not by what artifice or magic some of the gods have managed to make the swine pink, while others have managed to make the camel pink, when the commandment clearly saith: “Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing [gray]. Ye shall not eat of anything that dieth of itself [gray is death!], for thou art an holy people unto the One-who-Is, your Love.”

Some consider that the statement “not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man” referreth to food (gray or pink) and that through these words a “release” was accomplished, and now it mattereth no longer what we eat, when, in fact, these words looked toward the fact that “to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man”. It was concerning the inherited tradition of the Jews, who had special ceremonies for cleansing their hands before they set themselves to eat – teachings and traditions that had not been given by the Purple One, that is, by Him, in antiquity. Alongside these traditions, others had crept in as well, which were in total contradiction to that which had been revealed through Moses and the prophets. Therefore, in the context of sanctification and the commandment remaining in force which provided the criteria concerning pink or gray meats, the Purple One, in the face of these gods, said: “Woe unto you, hypocritical gods!... Ye blind guides, which strain out a qalma [the gnat – adding human commandments] and swallow a gamla [the camel – disregarding Moses and the prophets]!”

These human traditions crept into the “holy teachings” (the future Talmud) after the return from the Babylonian captivity, when, upon coming back home, alongside clean Jews, inheritors of a purple contract, there came into Jerusalem Ishmaelites as well (consumers of camel, through their father Ishmael), inheritors only of a pink contract through Abraham and Shem. Some of these, in the generations that came forth from them, passed themselves off as Jews and had a marked “spiritual” influence upon the Jews. Later, some of their descendants formed the rabbinical schools based on their teaching (supposedly “inherited orally”), much of it of Ishmaelitic origin, reinterpreting the Scriptures and giving explanations even in contradiction to the Scriptures, placing their teaching above Moses and the prophets. Yea, they even presumed to claim that “Omniscience” itself resideth in their mouth, and that what they bring forth from their mouth (written or spoken) is law (commandment) even for the One-who-Is. Senseless and foolish! Since when is the creature placed higher than the Creator? Who was first? And by Whose power do all things stand in being? While the One-who-Is is ever living, they are dead, and their bones await the judgment: pink or gray, with destination toward Paradise (Sion) or toward non-existence?

The Purple One made a clear distinction between them, the Pharisees and scribes (the gods), and the rest of the multitude: “Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Purple Man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they [the Ishmaelites] shall condemn Him to death, and shall deliver Him to the Gentiles [the Romans]: and they shall mock Him, and shall scourge Him, and shall spit upon Him, and shall kill Him: and the third day He shall rise again.” “Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Purple Man shall be delivered into the hands of men [the Ishmaelites]!” Thus was fulfilled the typology of the selling of Joseph by his brethren, who “lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver”, even as the Purple Prince was sold for a similar price unto the Ishmaelites: “Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests, and said unto them, ‘What will ye give me, and I will deliver Him unto you?’ And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.”

It was not the Jews who condemned to death their Archangel, their Purple One, who had made a purple contract with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. No! The Ishmaelites condemned Him to death, yet not the King of the Jews, but the Love of the Jews; for the king, the scarlet inheritor, had not yet come.

The greatest blame for the fact that the Jews of that time did not recognize I-Am – the Seed of the woman, the Son of David – lay for the most part upon the teachers (the gods) of that era, the scribes and Pharisees, Ishmaelites in origin! Strange it is that, although they built an authority over the Jews, these scribes and Pharisees were not recognized by even a single prophet. Their authority was not validated by the One-who-Is through any prophet. They profited, in fact, from the absence of the prophets and led the Jews astray through their traditions and teachings. But this state of affairs shall change through the coming of the scarlet inheritor, concerning whom the blue prophet (John the Baptist) said: “He that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: He shall baptize you with the Spirit of the Scarlet One and with the fire of the Purple One – the One-who-Comes. Whose fan [broom] is in His hand, and He will thoroughly purge His floor, and gather His wheat into the garner; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

“But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap. And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi [the priesthood], and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto Love an offering in pink. Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto Love, as in the days of old, and as in former years.”

“Then they that feared Love spake often one to another: and Love hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for them that feared Love, and that thought upon His name. ‘And they shall be Mine,’ saith the Scarlet One, ‘in that day when I make up My jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth Him.’ Then shall ye return, and discern between the pink and the gray, between him that serveth Love and him that serveth Him not.”

***

Before I pass to the next section, my dear, I want to speak to thee concerning spirit. Even as it was essential to explain to thee what the soul is, the moment hath arrived to explain to thee what the spirit is, for it is said of man that he is body, soul, and spirit. In fact, every being that hath a body hath a soul as well, hath a spirit as well. It is hard to explain what the spirit of a material being such as man is, yet it is not impossible. I have told thee that the soul is associated with the heart and with the emotions; it is said that the spirit is associated with the mind and with reason; but it is more than that. If the soul is the α-matter within, that is, what we are within the boundaries of the body, the spirit is the α-matter without, that is, what we are beyond the boundaries of the body – that which we emit as α-substances: sympathy, empathy, telepathy, influence... That which the “monitor” (the one with ten percent of space) transmitteth – the image upon the monitor, the colors and shape of the “rainbow”, the pink or gray “fragrance” of what we are through our influence.

If the actions of the body are material (physical) manifestations of the soul, the actions of the spirit are α-material manifestations of the soul, the outward emanations of the soul: “love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance” or hatred, sadness, anxiety, impatience, malice, evildoeding, betrayal, wrath, and every other manifestation of gray influence. These manifestations of pink or gray influence can transform into deeds of the body as well: love can materialize into an embrace or a kiss; hatred can materialize into a slap, a fist, or murder; joy can materialize into a smile, and sadness into a tear, into weeping, wailing, or gnashing of teeth. Within the soul we possess (we are) inherited threads of color, and through the spirit we create α-material threads between one another and with Love; we become an interconnected network; we can be one – an α-body α-material, a single composition of α-substances, independent of time, space, or matter.

I know not why, but music explaineth best α-material concepts. Thus I can more easily explain what the soul is and what the spirit is, as well as the relationship between them. If the soul of a piece of music is the score (its thought or substance), the body is the instrument, and its spirit is the emitted sound. I extend this: if the body is untuned by a gray food, no matter how good and beautiful the pink score may be, the transmitted sound is untuned, therefore gray.

This is the reason why it mattereth what we introduce into ourselves, and it is not a matter of food for the body alone, for audiovisual information can also be pink or gray; and what we drink can be pink or gray; and what we breathe can be pink or gray. Thus the statement is further outlined that “by what they consume ye shall know them”, for the fruits of the tree (of the soul) can be gray deeds (murders, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies or takings in vain, cursings), as well as gray influences (wraths, envies, jealousies, malices, gray emissions of all kinds); they can likewise be pink deeds, and pink influences of Love emitted through us. “Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in Me.”

From the moment we are a soul – the first living cell with our identity in formation –, we are the object of external influences; I refer not to the mother’s love, which the soul perceiveth unshaped in any thought or feeling, but rather as a music without sound and without notes (musical intensities): influence or, as I would call it, telepathy. I refer, however, to the angel present from the very first moment and to the retinue of ex-cherubim. From the first instant we are bombarded with pink or gray influences, and depending upon the contracts and their colors, around us there may be a choir of angels or a band of ex-cherubim. From the moment we are born, we are as if in a firing range: we are the target, and the influences are pink or gray bullets directed toward us.

These α-substantial influences we assimilate, and from them, as an arsenal within us, we ourselves become shooters with bullets of α-substantial influence around us. We are at war: victims or couriers of gray or pink bullets, we can be pink medics or gray killers. Permanently we choose. We choose to hearken to pink angelic influences or to gray ex-cherubic influences; it is the Law of Love, the Law of Free Will – the environment wherein we lead our existence.

In the world we can be pink stars or gray eclipses; we can be influences of angels or of cherubim, but we can also be influences of fiends and of demons. We can have “fiends”, bad moods; howbeit, we can be angels. It is not a matter of moods; it is solely a matter of choice. I say not that it is equally easy or hard for everyone; we are not all born within the same colors of contracts; some are more “fortunate” than others – that is the truth, unfortunately.

An important clarification concerning spirit. I have said that every soul hath a manifestation of the spirit. Men have it, the cherubim or the ex-cherubim have it as well, yet Love hath it also! This thing is hard for us to truly understand, and there existeth a great deal of confusion upon this subject. We have a tendency, whenever we read in the Scriptures the expression “the Spirit”, to associate it with the Scarlet One. In reality, matters stand not so. The Blue One hath the blue manifestation of His spirit, the Purple One hath the purple manifestation of His spirit, and the Scarlet One hath the scarlet manifestation of His spirit. When it is the governance of One, every time the manifestation of the spirit is of Him who governeth. In the period of the Purple One, all testimonies concerning the “Spirit” are in connection with the manifestation of the spirit of the Purple One; this thing is valid with each individual governance. They blend not Their governances. Thus it is understood: “Know therefore that the One-who-Is, Love, is ONE [ECHAD].”

Throughout the history of the Universe there hath been ONE SINGLE LOVE (/Α\), not Three – ONE (ECHAD)! For a period, the Blue One was the One-who-Is, followed in another mandate by the Scarlet One as being the One-who-Is, then, in another mandate, by the Purple One – by rotation. Never Three or Two at the same time! This thing must be understood! From Adam until the conception of John the Baptist (a prophet of the Blue One), One alone was Love: the Purple One, with the exception of those one hundred and twenty years before the Flood, when the mandate of governance upon Earth was yielded for a short season unto the Scarlet One – the moment wherein the Purple One was upon the Mountain and within the Citadel. This thing must be clear!

The concept of “trinity” is “at least” formulated incorrectly. The governance of Love upon Earth is by mandate, for a determined period of time, and the form of governance and the Person who governeth were chosen according to the manner wherein the Plan of Salvation or Recovery was conceived – formulated in atemporality by the Institution of Love, even before the existence of the Citadel, when the One-who-Is was White. It is not known why: they rotated in their mandate too swiftly for the colors of blue, scarlet, or purple to be distinguished, or they were One-Unity. None knoweth and none shall ever know the answer to this question; we know only that, in essence, They-Are-One from before any beginning, and the idea that One or the Other derived from the Other or from the other Two is false in the very aberration(!) of its formulations.

The idea that One “was born” of Another appeareth in the context of “adoption” and later in the context of “birth” through a woman (her Seed), and extended, it reacheth unto “resurrection”. “The firstborn”, “My Son”, “The only well-beloved” – these have no bearing upon His atemporal and eternal origin and have no relation whatsoever to any hierarchy.

The One-who-Is is the Almighty, regardless of the color of the mandate: purple, scarlet, blue; scarlet, blue, purple. From the standpoint of “hierarchy”, the order mattereth not! There is no color more important than another! Only the mandate mattereth: who is next in the rotating governance; only here doth the order matter, the mandate of Each being after the other two mandates, in the same rotating sequence: purple, blue, scarlet, or scarlet, purple, blue, or blue, scarlet, purple.

On the other hand, not even the incarnation, death, and resurrection make of purple a color more important or less important than the others. The roles of Each they established in atemporality; any of the Three could have passed through incarnation, through death, and through resurrection; any of the colors could have become a cherub, a man (son), a “sacrificial lamb”, “death and resurrection”. In a way, all Three passed within One through all of these; the “synchronization” and the love between Them have all the “blame”!

Before I return “to the beginning” – to Moses and to the feasts with purple typologies given to him by Love, and in these typologies we shall see prophecies fulfilled across the ages –, I want to bring before you another feast, which was instituted “at the end”, on the occasion of the deliverance from the late Babylonian (Persian) captivity, when Haman, the greatest of the Persian princes, had purposed to exterminate the Jews. Love thwarted the plans of Haman, as a response given to Esther and to the entire Jewish people, who fasted and prayed, thereby facilitating purple effects of the contract between Love and Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Then, Purple One established this three-day feast, the last being that of the Citadel, on which occasion it was determined to give gifts to one another. To this occasion the One-who-Is refers, saying: “Come, let us return to Love! For He has torn, but He will heal us; He has stricken, but He will bind up our wounds. After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live in His sight. Let us know, let us press on to know the One-who-Is! For His going forth is established as the morning; and He will come unto us as the rain, as the spring rain that waters the earth!” And elsewhere He says: “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Blue One, the One in the Citadel, give the Holy Spirit [the effects of the mediation of the Scarlet One] to those who ask Him!”

The ancient deliverance from the days of Esther (Star) is a typology of what Love will do in this generation through the pouring out of the spirit of the One-who-Is upon those who have chosen Love. Though it is not known on which day of the week it will come to pass, that moment, being considered a feast of the Citadel, will be counted as a Sabbath day, so that the effects of the sanctification and of the blessing of the day of Love may bring deliverance and healing upon all: upon sons and daughters with pink or purple contracts, upon menservants and maidservants with pink and gray contracts.

In this battle of the gray ones (Haman) against the pink and purple ones (Mordecai), the hatred of the ex-cherubim toward Love and the chosen ones of the Purple One is seen. In the victory of fasting and prayer, in the victory of Love, in the victory of the chosen people as firstborn among all nations, the victory and deliverance of all Jews from any form of slavery is seen: whether α-material or physical. These past few days, the effects of the song from the Citadel, when the Citadel and the Temple were rearranged at the Flood, should reach the Earth; the effects of the mediation begun by the Scarlet One after the Flood, in their movement from Orion toward Earth, should reach us; these were described by the words:

“Hear now, Jacob, My servant [the scarlet heir], Israel [My people], whom I have chosen! Thus says Love, who made you and formed you and who, from your birth, is your help: ‘Fear not, My servant Jacob, My Israel, whom I have chosen! For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground; I will pour My Spirit [the effects of the mediation of the Scarlet One] upon your seed, and My blessing upon your offspring, and they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the watercourses. One shall say, “I am of Love!” Another shall call himself by the name of Jacob, and another shall write with his hand, “I am of Love!” And he shall be honored by the name of Israel.’”

“Thus says Love, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, the Purple One-who-Is: ‘I am the First and I am the Last; and besides Me there is no other Love. Who is like Me, let him declare and set it in order before Me, since I appointed the ancient people? And the things that are coming, and shall come, let them show unto them! Fear not, neither be afraid; have I not told you from of old, and have declared it? You are My witnesses! Is there any other Love besides Me? Yea, there is no other Rock; I know not any!... Remember these things, O Jacob, and Israel, for you are My servant. I have formed you, you are My servant; O Israel, you shall not be forgotten by Me! I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, your transgressions, and, as a cloud, your sins: return unto Me, for I have redeemed you.’”

“Sing, O heavens, for Love has done it; shout, you lower parts of the Earth! Break forth into singing, you mountains, O forest, and every tree therein! For Love has redeemed Jacob, and glorified Himself in Israel.”

“Thus says Love, your Redeemer, and He who formed you from the womb: ‘I am Love, who makes all things, who alone stretched out the heavens, who spread abroad the Earth by Myself. Who was with Me? I frustrate the tokens of the liars, and make diviners mad; I turn wise men backward, and make their knowledge foolish. But I confirm the word of My servant, and perform the counsel of My messengers; I say of Jerusalem, “She shall be inhabited!” and of the cities of Judah, “They shall be built, and I will raise up their decayed places.”’”

“For thus says the One-who-Is, Love: ‘My people went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there, and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause. Now therefore, what have I here, seeing that My people is taken away for nothing? They that rule over them make them to howl, and My Name continually every day is blasphemed. Therefore My people shall know My Name; therefore they shall know in that day that I am He that does speak: behold, “I-Am here!”’”

“Behold, the voice of your watchmen resounds; they lift up their voice, together they shout for joy, for they see eye to eye how Love returns to Zion. Break forth together into singing, you waste places of Jerusalem! For Love has comforted His people, He has redeemed Jerusalem. Love has bared His holy arm in the eyes of all the nations, and all the ends of the Earth shall see the salvation of our Love. Depart, depart, go out from Babylon! Touch no unclean thing! Go out from the midst of her! Purify yourselves, you who bear the vessels [souls] of Love! For you shall not go out in haste, nor go in flight, for the One-who-Is will go before you, and the Love of Israel will be your rear guard!”

“Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of your habitations! Spare not! Lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes! For you shall break forth on the right hand and on the left, and your seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited. Fear not, for you shall not be ashamed; neither be confounded, for you shall not be put to shame, for you shall forget the shame of your youth, and shall not remember the reproach of your widowhood anymore, for your Maker is your husband: Love is His Name, and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel. He shall be called the Love of the whole Earth, for Love has called you as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when you were refused – says your Love. For a small moment have I forsaken you, but with great mercies will I gather you. In a little wrath I hid My Face from you for a moment, but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on you – says Love, your Redeemer.”

After the thunders and lightnings ceased upon Sinai, Moses went up the mountain to receive from the Purple One commandments and laws for all Israel. In these commandments and laws we find the ceremonies around the altar and the feasts that Israel was to keep; though it is believed that Moses wrote these laws and commandments, in fact, they were written by Love, just as the Ten Commandments were written upon two tables of stone – as an expression, adapted to the conditions brought by the serpent upon earth, of the Law of Love.

After the thunders and lightnings ceased upon Sinai, Moses went up the mountain to receive from the Purple One commandments and laws for all Israel. In these commandments and laws we find the ceremonies around the altar and the feasts that Israel was to keep; though it is believed that Moses wrote these laws and commandments, in fact, they were written by Love, just as the Ten Commandments were written upon two tables of stone – as an expression, adapted to gray, of the Law of Love.

Love said to Moses: “Come up to Me on the mountain and remain there! I will give you tables of stone with the Law of Love and the commandments which I have written for their instruction.” Moses went up with Joshua onto the mountain of the One-who-Is, after he had said to the elders of Israel to wait for him at the edge of the mountain. Moses went up the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain. The glory of Love settled upon Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days. On the seventh day, the Purple One called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud. The appearance of the glory of the One-who-Is was like a devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel. Moses entered into the midst of the cloud and went up the mountain; and Moses remained on the mountain forty days and forty nights.

Moses, upon the mountain, did not receive only the two tables of stone with the Law of Love, for, if it were only a matter of the two tables of stone, he would not have lingered so long: forty days and forty nights. This thing we must understand. Love, on that occasion, did not write only the Ten Commandments, but wrote everything that was to be built around the altar, which means that the Purple One personally attended to every detail and that the commandments regarding the altar are just as important and unchangeable as the Law of Love. All Scripture was written under divine inspiration, but the portion that follows was written by the Purple One Himself.

From the moment we read, “The One-who-Is spoke unto Moses, saying, ‘Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring Me an offering’” ²⁵˙¹ until “it shall be most holy unto the One-who-Is” ³⁰˙¹⁰ there are words of gold, words written by Love upon papyrus. Throughout this entire portion, the interruption expressed by “The One-who-Is said” is absent. This whole portion is a single block of text: the text of Love. Upon this block of gold all the ceremonies at the Temple were built and, implicitly, the feasts, which were just as important both through the α-substantive effects of their ceremonies and through the instruction or the message intended to be transmitted by Love – “according to the pattern (image) which was shown to you on the mountain”, according to the model from the Citadel, which was shown to Moses.

Love wrote (uttered: the task from the Mountain): “Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring Me an offering: of every man that gives it willingly with his heart you shall take My offering. And this is the offering which you shall take of them: gold, and silver, and brass; and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats’ hair; and rams’ skins dyed red, and badgers’ skins, and shittim wood; oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet incense; onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the breastplate. And let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them. According to all that I show you, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall you make it.” Every building material is important, every metal, every color; the chosen wood is important, the linen and the goats’ hair are important, the oil and the spices, even the chosen stones – everything was chosen for its significance: “the commandments which I have written for their instruction.”

The Ark and the Mercy Seat: “And they shall make an ark of shittim wood... And you shall overlay it with pure gold, within and without shall you overlay it, and shall make upon it a crown of gold round about... And you shall put into the ark the testimony [the Law of Love] which I shall give you. And you shall make a mercy seat of pure gold... And you shall make two cherubim of gold, of beaten work shall you make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat; and make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end; even of the mercy seat shall you make the cherubim on the two ends thereof. And the cherubim shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubim be. And you shall put the mercy seat above upon the ark, and in the ark you shall put the testimony that I shall give you. And there I will meet with you [Shekinah]; and from above the mercy seat (/Α\), from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, I will commune with you of all My commandments for the children of Israel.”

The Table for the Showbread: “You shall also make a table of shittim wood... And you shall overlay it with pure gold, and make thereto a crown of gold round about... And you shall make the dishes thereof, and spoons thereof, and covers thereof, and bowls thereof, to cover withal: of pure gold shall you make them. And you shall set upon the table showbread before Me always.”

The Candlestick: “And you shall make a candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work shall the candlestick be made: his shaft, and his branches, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, shall be of one piece. And six branches shall come out of the sides of it; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side: three bowls made like unto almond blossoms, with a knop and a flower in one branch; and three bowls made like unto almond blossoms in the other branch, with a knop and a flower: so in the six branches that come out of the candlestick... all of it shall be one beaten work of pure gold. And you shall make the seven lamps thereof, and they shall light the lamps thereof, that they may give light over against it. And the tongs thereof, and the snuffdishes thereof, shall be of pure gold. Of a talent of pure gold shall he make it, with all these vessels. And look that you make them after their pattern, which was shown you on the mountain.”

The Tabernacle: “Moreover you shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubim of cunning work shall you make them... And you shall make curtains of goats’ hair to be a covering upon the tabernacle... And you shall make a covering for the tent of rams’ skins dyed red, and a covering above of badgers’ skins. And you shall make boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood standing up... in sockets of silver, two sockets under one board... And you shall overlay the boards with gold, and make their rings of gold for places for the bars, and you shall overlay the bars with gold. And you shall rear up the tabernacle according to the fashion thereof which was shown you on the mountain.”

The Two Veils: “And you shall make a veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen of cunning work: with cherubim shall it be made. And you shall hang it upon four pillars of shittim wood overlaid with gold: their hooks shall be of gold, upon four sockets of silver. And you shall hang up the veil under the taches, that you may bring in thither within the veil the ark of the testimony: and the veil shall divide unto you between the holy place and the most holy. And you shall put the mercy seat upon the ark of the testimony in the most holy place. And you shall set the table [with the bread] without the veil, and the candlestick over against the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south: and you shall put the table on the north side. And you shall make a hanging for the door of the tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, wrought with needlework. And you shall make for the hanging five pillars of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, and their hooks shall be of gold: and you shall cast five sockets of brass for them.”

The Altar of Burnt Offering: “And you shall make an altar of shittim wood... And you shall make the horns of it upon the four corners thereof: his horns shall be of the same: and you shall overlay it with brass... All the vessels thereof you shall make of brass... Hollow with boards shall you make it: as it was shown you in the mountain, so shall they make it.”

The Court of the Tabernacle: “And you shall make the court of the tabernacle: for the south side southward there shall be hangings for the court of fine twined linen... And likewise for the north side there shall be hangings... with their twenty pillars and their twenty sockets of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets shall be of silver. And for the west side... [and] And for the east side eastward, besides the fifty cubits for the breadth of the court, the hangings of one side of the gate shall be fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and their three sockets... And for the gate of the court shall be a hanging of twenty cubits, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, wrought with needlework... All the pillars round about the court shall be filleted with silver, their hooks shall be of silver, and their sockets of brass... All the vessels of the tabernacle in all the service thereof, and all the pins thereof, and all the pins of the court, shall be of brass.”

The Holy Oil: “And you shall command the children of Israel, that they bring you pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamp to burn always. Aaron and his sons shall order it in the tabernacle of the congregation without the veil, which is before the testimony, to burn from evening to morning before the One-who-Is. It shall be a statute forever unto their generations on the behalf of the children of Israel.”

The Priestly Garments: “And take unto you Aaron your brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may minister unto Me in the priest’s office... And you shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother for glory and for beauty. And you shall speak unto all that are wise-hearted, whom I have filled with a spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron’s garments to consecrate him, that he may minister unto Me in the priest’s office. And these are the garments which they shall make: a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a broidered coat, a mitre, and a girdle. And they shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother, and his sons, that he may minister unto Me in the priest’s office. And they shall take gold, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen.”

The Ephod and the Girdle: “And they shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and of purple, of scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cunning work. It shall have the two shoulderpieces thereof joined at the two edges thereof; and so it shall be joined together. And the curious girdle of the ephod, which is upon it, shall be of the same workmanship, even of the same; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen. And you shall take two onyx stones, and grave on them the names of the children of Israel: six of their names on one stone, and the other six names of the rest on the other stone, according to their birth. With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, shall you engrave the two stones with the names of the children of Israel: you shall make them to be set in ouches of gold. And you shall put the two stones upon the shoulders of the ephod for stones of memorial unto the children of Israel: and Aaron shall bear their names before Love upon his two shoulders for a memorial. And you shall make ouches of gold; and two chains of pure gold at the ends; of wreathen work shall you make them, and fasten the wreathen chains in the ouches.”

The Breastplate: “And you shall make the breastplate of judgment with cunning work; after the work of the ephod you shall make it; of gold, of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine twined linen you shall make it... And you shall set in it settings of stones, even four rows of stones: the first row shall be a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle; and the second row shall be an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond; and the third row a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst; and the fourth row a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: they shall be set in gold in their inclosings. And the stones shall be twelve, according to the names of the children of Israel, like the engravings of a signet, every one with his name shall they be according to the twelve tribes. And you shall make upon the breastplate chains of pure gold at the ends of wreathen work... And Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgment upon his heart, when he goes in unto the holy place, for a memorial before Love continually. And you shall put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim; and they shall be upon Aaron’s heart, when he goes in before the One-who-Is: and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his heart before Love continually.”

The Blue Robe: “And you shall make the robe of the ephod all of blue... And beneath upon the hem of it you shall make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, round about the hem thereof; and bells of gold between them round about: a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the hem of the robe round about. And it shall be upon Aaron to minister: and his sound shall be heard when he goes in unto the holy place before the One-who-Is, and when he comes out, that he die not.”

The Plate of Gold, the Coat, the Mitre, and the Girdle: “And you shall make a plate of pure gold, and grave upon it, like the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE ONE-WHO-IS... And it shall be upon Aaron’s forehead, that Aaron may bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall hallow in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always upon his forehead before the One-who-Is, that they may be accepted before Him. And you shall embroider the coat of fine linen, and you shall make the mitre of fine linen, and you shall make the girdle of needlework. And for Aaron’s sons you shall make coats, and you shall make for them girdles, and bonnets shall you make for them, for glory and for beauty. And you shall put them upon Aaron your brother, and his sons with him; and shall anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify them, that they may minister unto Me in the priest’s office. And you shall make them linen breeches to cover their nakedness; from the loins even unto the thighs they shall reach. And they shall be upon Aaron, and upon his sons, when they come in unto the tabernacle of the congregation, or when they come near unto the altar to minister in the holy place; that they bear not iniquity, and die: it shall be a statute forever unto him and his seed after him.”

The Continual Burnt Offering: “Now this is that which you shall offer upon the altar; two lambs of the first year day by day continually. The one lamb you shall offer in the morning; and the other lamb you shall offer at even: and with the one lamb a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil; and the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering. And the other lamb you shall offer at even, and shall do thereto according to the meat offering of the morning, and according to the drink offering thereof, for a sweet savor, an offering made by fire unto the One-who-Is. This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before Love; where I will meet you, to speak there unto you. And there I will meet with the children of Israel, and the tabernacle shall be sanctified by My glory. And I will sanctify the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar: I will sanctify also both Aaron and his sons, to minister to Me in the priest’s office. And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their Love. And they shall know that I-Am the One-who-Is their Love, that brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them: I-Am the One-who-Is their Love.”

The Altar of Incense: “And you shall make an altar to burn incense upon: of shittim wood shall you make it. And you shall overlay it with pure gold, the top thereof, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns thereof; and you shall make unto it a crown of gold round about... And you shall put it before the veil that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with you. And Aaron shall burn thereon sweet incense every morning: when he dresses the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it. And when he lights the lamps at even, he shall burn incense upon it, a perpetual incense before the One-who-Is throughout your generations. You shall offer no strange incense thereon, nor burnt sacrifice, nor meat offering; neither shall you pour drink offering thereon. And Aaron shall make an atonement upon the horns of it once in a year with the blood of the sin offering of atonements: once in the year shall he make atonement upon it throughout your generations: it is most holy unto Love.”

The Consecration of the Priests: “And this is the thing that you shall do unto them to hallow them, to minister unto Me in the priest’s office: Take one young bullock, and two rams without blemish, and unleavened bread, and cakes unleavened tempered with oil, and wafers unleavened anointed with oil: of fine wheaten flour shall you make them. And you shall put them into one basket, and bring them in the basket, with the bullock and the two rams.”

“And Aaron and his sons you shall bring unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall wash them with water. And you shall take the garments, and put upon Aaron the coat, and the robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate, and gird him with the curious girdle of the ephod: and you shall put the mitre upon his head, and put the holy crown upon the mitre. Then shall you take the anointing oil, and pour it upon his head, and anoint him. And you shall bring his sons, and put coats upon them. And you shall gird them with girdles, Aaron and his sons, and put the bonnets on them: and the priest’s office shall be theirs for a perpetual statute: and you shall consecrate Aaron and his sons.”

“You shall also cause the bullock to be brought before the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the bullock. And you shall kill the bullock before the One-who-Is, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. And you shall take of the blood of the bullock, and put it upon the horns of the altar with your finger, and pour all the blood at the bottom of the altar. And you shall take all the fat that covers the inwards, and the caul that is above the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and burn them upon the altar. But the flesh of the bullock, and his skin, and his dung, shall you burn with fire without the camp; it is a sin offering.”

“You shall also take one of the two rams; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram. And you shall slay the ram, and you shall take his blood, and sprinkle it round about upon the altar. And you shall cut the ram in pieces, and wash the inwards of him, and his legs, and put them unto his pieces, and unto his head. And you shall burn the whole ram upon the altar: it is a burnt offering unto the One-who-Is: it is an offering made by fire, a sweet savor unto the One-who-Is.”

“Then shall you take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram. Then shall you kill the ram, and take of his blood, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and upon the tip of the right ear of his sons, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar. And you shall take of the blood that is upon the altar, and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon the garments of his sons with him: and he shall be hallowed, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons’ garments with him in the service of Love. You shall also take of the ram the fat and the rump, and the fat that covers the inwards, and the caul above the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and the right shoulder; for it is a ram of consecration in the service of Love: and one loaf of bread, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer out of the basket of the unleavened bread that is before the One-who-Is: and you shall put all in the hands of Aaron, and in the hands of his sons; and shall wave them for a wave offering before the One-who-Is. And you shall receive them of their hands, and burn them upon the altar for a burnt offering, for a sweet savor before the One-who-Is: it is an offering made by fire unto Love.”

“And you shall take the breast of the ram of Aaron’s consecration in the service of Love, and wave it for a wave offering before the One-who-Is: and it shall be your part. And you shall sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and the shoulder of the heave offering, which is waved, and which is heaved up, of the ram of the consecration, even of that which is for Aaron, and of that which is for his sons in the service of Love: and it shall be Aaron’s and his sons’ by a statute forever from the children of Israel; for it is an heave offering: and it shall be an heave offering from the children of Israel of the sacrifice of their peace offerings, even their heave offering unto the One-who-Is.”

“And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons’ after him, to be anointed therein, and to be consecrated in them. And that son that is priest in his stead shall put them on seven days, when he comes into the tabernacle of the congregation to minister in the holy place.”

“And you shall take the ram of the consecration in the service of Love, and seethe his flesh in the holy place. And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that is in the basket, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. And they shall eat those things wherewith the atonement was made, to consecrate and to sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat thereof, because they are holy. And if ought of the flesh of the consecrations, or of the bread, remain unto the morning, then you shall burn the remainder with fire: it shall not be eaten, because it is holy.”

“And thus shall you do unto Aaron, and to his sons, according to all things which I have commanded you: seven days shall you consecrate them. And you shall offer every day a bullock for a sin offering for atonement: and you shall cleanse the altar, when you have made an atonement for it, and you shall anoint it, to sanctify it. Seven days you shall make an atonement for the altar, and sanctify it; and it shall be an altar most holy: whatsoever touches the altar shall be holy.”

These were the words of Love, the commandments given for their instruction, and at the end: “And when the One-who-Is had made an end of communing with Moses upon mount Sinai, He gave unto him two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of the Purple One.”

Besides these, the One-who-Is also spoke unto Moses regarding the money offerings that everyone must give for the ransom of his soul. This offering was to be taken from every person who was to be included in the numbering of the people, from twenty years old and above. Moses also received instructions regarding the laver of brass set between the altar of brass and the Tabernacle of the Congregation, a laver in which the priests were to wash their hands and their feet. Love, then, gave clear instructions on how the holy anointing oil and the holy incense were to be prepared. The One-who-Is appointed workmen filled with the spirit of the Purple One to fashion all the elements necessary for the holy ceremonies. And at the end, Love spoke of the importance of the Sabbath and the keeping of the day set apart for Love, saying: “Verily My Sabbaths you shall keep: for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations; that you may know that I-Am Love that does sanctify you. You shall keep the Sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: everyone that defiles it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever does any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the Sabbath of rest, holy to the One-who-Is: whosoever does any work in the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.”

Forty days and forty nights Moses remained upon the mountain of Love and communed with the Purple One regarding these commandments, then, at their parting, Love gave unto Moses also the two tables of stone upon which the Ten Commandments were inscribed, written by the Purple One with the imprint of His finger. But, coming down from the mountain, Moses heard a great celebration from the camp of Israel. The people, who forty days before, upon hearing the words of the purple contract, had said, “We will do all that the One-who-Is has spoken”, now, because Moses had lingered, were bowing down and dancing before a golden calf to which they had attributed their exodus from Egypt.

Though they had come out of Egypt with great signs and with the glorious manifestation of Love, Egypt was deeply rooted in the heart of the people of Israel. Though the words of the purple contract said, “You shall not make gods of silver alongside Me, nor shall you make for yourselves gods of gold”, they made for themselves a golden calf; they associated Love with that calf. Though they saw no form upon the mountain, they gave Love the form of a calf. Somehow they were projecting themselves into that calf before which they danced and bowed down, offering peace offerings and burnt offerings, as if for Love.

Love even on that occasion wanted to destroy them. The arguments that they were actually worshipping Love made no sense. Even if they had called that golden calf “their love”, considering that in this way Love would understand them, the Purple One clearly saw a transgression of the Law of Love. Although it seems that Moses was the one who made Love change her mind from her wrath, in reality things stood differently. The ex-cherub demanded their destruction; the one condemned to non-existence demanded the same thing for those who transgressed the purple contract. The prayer of Moses was merely the argument of Love to delay the punishment of some of them. The Law clearly demanded their death, and the mediation of Moses delayed the punishment of those who, up to the moment of their death, did not choose to turn back from their gray and mistaken path. The “Egypt” within them, in the end, would destroy them.

Moses, in his protest and as an expression of the disappointment of the One-who-Is, cast the tables written on both sides by Love and brake them beneath the mount. “And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strawed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.” Then Moses cried out: “Who is on the side of Love? Let him come unto me!” and all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him. And he said unto them, “Thus says the One-who-Is, the Love of Israel: ‘Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.’” And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men. For Moses had said, “Consecrate yourselves today to the service of the One-who-Is, even every man upon his son, and upon his brother; that He may bestow upon you a blessing this day!”

Moses prayed again for the people, and Love answered him: “Go therefore, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto you: behold, My Angel [the Archangel Purple One] shall go before you; nevertheless in the day when I visit, I will visit their sin upon them!”

Though Love threatened Her people that following the sin committed She would no longer go before them, but would send an Angel, at the insistence of Moses and following his mediation, the Purple One nevertheless promised that He Himself would lead His people into the promised land. Love wrote once more Her Law upon another two tables of stone made by Moses and renewed the purple contract: “Behold, I make a covenant: before all your people I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people among whom you are shall see the work of the One-who-Is: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with you.” Love promised again that She would drive out before Her people all the other nations. She commanded the people not to make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, to destroy their altars and break their images, not to worship any other god, not to take wives from among the daughters of those nations, and not to make for themselves a molten god under any form.

He said further: “The Feast of Unleavened Bread shall you keep: seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, in the time of the month Abib [Nisan]: for in the month Abib [Nisan] you came out from Egypt. All that opens the womb is Mine; and every firstling among your cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is male. But the firstling of an ass you shall redeem with a lamb: and if you redeem him not, then shall you break his neck. All the firstborn of your sons you shall redeem, and none shall appear before Me empty-handed.”

“Six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall rest: in earing time and in harvest you shall rest.”

“And you shall observe the Feast of Weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at the year’s end. Thrice in the year shall all your men children appear before the One-who-Is, Love, the Love of Israel. For I will cast out the nations before you, and enlarge your borders: neither shall any man desire your land, when you shall go up to appear before the One-who-Is, your Love.”

“You shall not offer the blood of My sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left unto the morning. The first of the firstfruits of your land you shall bring unto the house of the One-who-Is, your Love. You shall not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.”

Love said unto Moses: “Write you these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel!” Forty days and forty nights Moses remained with the Purple One. He did neither eat bread, nor drink water. “And Love wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments.”

After the children of Israel had made all that was commanded by the Purple One, the Tabernacle of the Congregation and all the instruments thereof, Love confirmed Her presence in the Tabernacle, and the Scripture records the following: “Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the One-who-Is filled the tabernacle. And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the Purple One filled the tabernacle. And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys: but if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up. For the cloud of Love was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.”

Forty years did the Cloud and the people of Israel journey through the wilderness; wherever the Cloud abode, there the children of Israel pitched their tents. One day, Love called Moses up to mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. And there, the Purple One showed Moses all the land, and said unto him: “This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it unto your seed.’ I have caused you to see it with your eyes, but you shall not go over thither.”

Moses died there in the land of Moab, and Love buried him in a valley; but no man knows of his sepulcher unto this day. “And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated... And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the Purple One knew face to face, in all the signs and the wonders which Love sent him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land, and in all that mighty hand, and in all the great terror which Moses showed in the sight of all Israel.”

Though Moses died – Joshua taking his place to carry forward the mission which purposed the taking possession of the land of Canaan –, Love took measures through which She assured the people that one day, in the midst of Israel, there would arise another prophet like unto Moses, saying:

“The One-who-Is, your Love, will raise up unto you a prophet from the midst of you, of your brethren, like unto me; unto him you shall hearken; according to all that you desired of the One-who-Is, your Love, in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, ‘Let me not hear again the voice of the One-who-Is, my Love, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.’ And Love said unto me, ‘They have well spoken that which they have spoken. I will raise them up a prophet from among their brethren, like unto you, and will put My words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto My words which he shall speak in My Name, I will require it of him. But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in My Name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.’ And if you say in your heart, ‘How shall we know the word which Love has not spoken?’ When a prophet speaks in the Name of Love, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which Love has not spoken, but the prophet has spoken it presumptuously: you shall not be afraid of him.”

Who was or will be the promised prophet? Love raised up many prophets in the midst of Israel. First there were the judges, who, one by one, delivered the people from the oppression of their enemies, because whenever the people departed from the Law and from the One-who-Is, Love allowed their enemies to oppress them. The people would turn back from their gray and idolatrous path, and Love would raise up a deliverer from the midst of the people. Then She raised up prophets. Then She anointed kings, and during their reign, as needed, She raised up prophets to rebuke sin and to turn the people back from their mistaken, idolatrous, and gray path. It seems, however, that none of these – deliverers, prophets, or kings – rose to the level and conditions of the promise that Love made through Moses. None was that “prophet like unto you”, none fulfilled the prophecy: ‘I will put My words in his mouth... And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto My words which he shall speak in My Name, I will require it of him.’ Rarely did it happen that any word spoken by any prophet, but unheeded by the people, was punished; it seems that the promised prophet never came. Did Love lie? Or had the moment of that prophet not yet come?

Though apparently what Love does seems to be accidental, in reality all the actions of Love are with purpose. Most of the time, exactly those important things or instructions slip through our fingers or we give them a value far below the value intended by Love.

Thus it happened with the Ten Commandments, whose importance was highlighted by the very fact that twice they were written even with the finger of the Purple One, by Love Herself. The explanation? There is only one explanation why the most important values of Love came to be treated by man with such irresponsibility, negligence, and insensitivity: man is very easily influenced by the spirits of the ex-cherubim. The hatred they have toward the Law of Love they transferred, through their influence, upon men, who, in their turn, transformed it into a gray attitude toward the Ten Commandments. All have been broken, all are neglected both in the relationships between men and in the manner of relating toward Love. Thus it happened with the family instituted by Love, thus it happened with the Sabbath chosen by Love as a sanctified and blessed day, thus it happened with the commandment regarding the food chosen for man in view of his sanctification, thus it happens with every commandment of the Ten Commandments. Guilty are all, both those with gray contracts and those with pink contracts or purple ones; not all are guilty to the same extent, but all are guilty.

In addition to the neglected Ten Commandments, the commandments which were given “for instruction” were also neglected, because, if they had not been neglected, the Purple Man who came would have been understood, accepted, and received, just as the lamb from the occasion of the Passover was received into the house for four days and accepted as a member of the family.

We will look toward each of these commandments which were given for their instruction and ours, and we will see their typological and prophetic connection to the Purple Man, because they, ceremonial symbols placed within commandments, pointed precisely toward the One who had given and written with His own finger these commandments – they pointed toward the Purple Man.

Many gods claim that nowhere in the Scriptures is it shown that Love or the One-who-Is was to become incarnate, but it is false, it is a lie, for every element of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, every sacramental act pointed toward the One-who-Is become Man. The very flower chosen for the candlestick pointed prophetically toward the sacrifice of the Purple Man for angels and for man. Any flower could have been chosen, but the almond blossom was chosen, a white flower, bloodied in its very heart. The very lamb chosen for the Passover pointed to the same thing: the shed blood was the guarantee of salvation in the time of judgment; though in Egypt, among the Egyptians their firstborn died, in the houses of Israel none of their firstborn had died, all due to the shed blood of the lamb. But the typology does not stop here; it extends over every sacramental element within and around the Tabernacle of the Congregation. Come and see!

“But the Purple Man was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and with His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and Love has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth: He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so He opened not His mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare His generation? For He was cut off out of the Earth of the living: for the transgression of my people was He stricken... Yet it pleased Love to bruise Him by suffering… When He shall make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, and the pleasure of the One-who-Is shall prosper in His hand. He shall see of the travail of His soul, and shall be satisfied: by His knowledge shall the Purple and pink Man justify many; for He shall bear the burden [guilt] of their gray. Therefore will Love divide Him a portion with the great [Sons of Love – the Planetaries], and He shall divide the spoil with the strong [the cherubim]; because He has poured out His soul unto death [“and you shall bruise his heel”]: and He was numbered with the gray, and He bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.”

The prophecy given by the Purple One through His messenger – Isaiah – is clear enough and comes in agreement with all the promises of Love that She will solve the problem of the angels and of man. Namely, for sin and his guilt there is a solution, and this is not the abolition of the Law of Love, but pardon through an act of manifestation of Love, an act by which the Lawgiver was to take upon Himself the guilt or the punishment of those condemned through the transgression of the commandment of the One-who-Is. One Alone could do this thing: the One-who-Is become first Cherub, and then, through incarnation, become Man. It had to be mandatorily One of the Three because, after all, through the act of creation of the cherub and of man, Love assumed a Father’s responsibility, who, in the event that His son were to transgress the Law of Love, could assume the mistake and could pay Himself in the place of His guilty child. Anyone of the Three could do this thing, but the Purple One chose to be the One responsible in this regard; it was a choice of Love before any beginning.

Returning to the Tabernacle of the Congregation, we must understand that both in its elements of furniture and in its sacramental acts, typologies were inserted, meaning representations of the Purple Man and settings into example or scene of the work which He was to accomplish in view of the redemption and atonement (cleansing) from sin, from guilt, and from gray.

The Tabernacle of the Congregation was divided into two rooms. One entered through the court of brass, then, beyond the first veil – blue, purple, and scarlet –, inside the Tabernacle was the first room, called the Holy Place. This first room of gold, together with the elements of brass – the altar for sacrifices and the laver of brass –, served for the continual or daily services. In this first room, in front stood the altar of gold of incense, and on the sides: the candlestick of beaten gold with its seven branches and the table of gold for the showbread placed before Love. Beyond the first holy room was the Holy of Holies or the Most Holy Place, a room wherein was the ark of gold over which was set the mercy seat, with its two cherubim, a place in the midst of which Love manifested Herself (Shekinah), the place from which the Purple One spoke unto Moses.

We have, therefore, a court of brass, surrounded by pillars of brass, a symbol of the Earth, the place where the Purple Man was to die, the altar being the place of sacrifice, the place of the burnt offering. The Earth is the place where the Lamb of Love was sacrificed as a consequence of guilt, in the place of the angel and in the place of man.

In addition to the court of brass, we have the Tabernacle of the Congregation, a Tabernacle of gold, for all its elements of sacramental furniture, but also its support elements, the pillars, were of gold. Gold represents the Citadel, and the silver from the base or foundation of the Tabernacle’s structure is an intermediate representation between gold and brass, pointing toward the Purple One, who, before becoming Man, made Himself a Cherub.

Although the sacrificed Lamb never entered the Tabernacle of the Congregation, the Purple Man is present there through other symbols, pointing toward what He is, toward the nature of the One become Man. Here intervenes the shittim wood from which the ark of the testimony and the mercy seat, the table for showbread and the altar of incense were made. These were constructed from shittim wood and overlaid within and without with gold. They showed the dual nature of the Purple Man: on the one hand, a nature of the Citadel represented by gold, and on the other hand, a nature of the Earth represented by shittim wood. Such is He: both the Son of Man and the Son of Love; shittim wood overlaid within and without with gold. These two natures, the divine (α-material) and the human (material), in the Purple Man intertwined perfectly, He being in equal measure Man and God, the Son of Eve (her Seed) and the Son of Love (the same α-Substance).

He was also represented by the Ark of the Covenant, shittim wood and gold, inside which was the Law of Love, the tables of stone with the Ten Commandments, the tables of testimony, as a fulfillment of David’s words: “Thy Word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee!... The Law of Love is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.” There also were the rod of Aaron, a symbol of the governance and guidance of the One-who-Is, and the golden pot with manna placed within it, a symbol of the Bread of Life, which, from the Throne, gave life to those who lifted up their worship before the Shekinah, singing: “Holy, Holy, Holy is the One-who-Was, the One-who-Is, the One-who-Comes! The Omnipotent One!”

He was also represented by the Ark of the Covenant, shittim wood and gold, inside which was the Law of Love, the tables of stone with the Ten Commandments, the tables of testimony, as a fulfillment of David’s words: “Thy Word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee!... The Law of Love is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.” There also were the rod of Aaron, a symbol of the governance and guidance of the One-who-Is, and the golden pot with manna placed within it, a symbol of the Bread of Life, which, from the Throne, gave life to those who lifted up their worship before the Shekinah, singing: “Holy, Holy, Holy is the One-who-Was, the One-who-Is, the One-who-Comes! The Omnipotent One!”

He was also represented by the table of gold for the showbread placed before Love continually, He being, in equal measure, the Bread of Life, α-substantial food for cherubim, men, and planetaries. For us, He is the Bread that came down from the Citadel to Earth, so that through the life-giving influence of His spirit we may have life, and have it abundantly.

He was also represented by the candlestick of gold with its seven lights, being made of beaten gold and bearing engraved within it almond blossoms. The beaten gold was a symbol of His life as a Man: “He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief,” for “surely He hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem Him stricken, smitten of the One-who-Is.” He was not only the candlestick, but He was also the light thereof. Just as there were seven lamps, so He was to illuminate the life of every being upon Earth and in the Universe, day by day, seven days out of the seven of the week, continually. Later He declared Himself: “I-Am the Light of the world: he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” Just as in ancient times, day by day, the pillar of fire went through the wilderness before His people, even so He was to enlighten every man, for “that was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.” And in another place, referring to the invisible israel, He says: “Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, yet will I be to them as a little Sanctuary [and Light].”

Toward Him, the Purple Man, pointed all these elements of the Tabernacle of the Congregation. No one, no god can give them another interpretation. This is the message that day by day the people of Israel received from the Purple One, in the wilderness and around the Tabernacle, and later, at the Temple. All these elements pointed toward the Purple Man, toward the One who was to come, toward the One-who-Comes, so that through His shed blood He might bring deliverance from any guilt and peace between the transgressor of the commandment and the Law of Love. There are no other instructions and none can be invented from “the commandments which I have written for their instruction.” Whosoever interprets these instructions otherwise is a liar, and the truth is not in him; he is a tool of the spirits of the ex-cherubim, and this matter must be clear.

And a final thought on the incarnation: intentionally it was said: “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed.”; intentionally only the woman was mentioned, as if she alone, without a man, was to be the “gate” through which the Purple One was to come into the world, was to be born; intentionally it was said that it is about a virgin, a woman untouched by a man: “Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”; intentionally the name of the child was to be Immanuel, meaning “Love is with us!”; intentionally it was said: “For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty One-who-Is, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” It was clear that it was about One of the Three, incarnate and become Man, the Purple Man. Thus is understood the message filled with drama given by Love through Isaiah, describing the struggle and the soul’s torment of the One who was to bear the guilt of all:

“Woe to the Lion [King] of the One-who-Is, to Ariel, the city [body] wherein David [the Purple Man, the Son of David] camped [descended]... I will distress the Purple Man; there shall be heaviness and sorrow in Him, and the city [body] shall be as a Purple Man unto the Purple One. And I will camp against you round about, and will lay siege against you with a mount, and I will raise forts against you. And you shall be brought down, and shall speak out of the ground, and your speech shall be low out of the dust, and your voice shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and your speech shall whisper out of the dust. Moreover the multitude of your strangers shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passeth away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly.”

“Surely He hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem Him stricken, smitten of Love, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed... He was oppressed, and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth: He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so He opened not His mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare His generation? For He was cut off out of the Earth of the living: for the transgression of my people was He stricken. And He made His grave with the wicked, and with the rich in His death; because He had done no violence, neither was any deceit in His mouth. Yet it pleased Love to bruise Him by suffering… When He shall make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, and the pleasure of Love shall prosper in His hand.”

“And Pilat answered and said again unto them, ‘What will ye then that I shall do unto Him whom ye call the King of the Jews?’ And they cried out again, ‘Crucify Him!’ Then Pilat said unto them, ‘Why, what evil hath He done?’ And they cried out the more exceedingly, ‘Crucify Him!’ ”

“And so Pilat, willing to content the people... delivered the Purple Man, when he had scourged Him, to be crucified. And the soldiers led the Purple Man away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band. And they clothed Him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about His head, and began to salute Him, ‘Hail, King of the Jews!’ And they smote Him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon Him, and bowing their knees worshipped Him. And when they had mocked Him, they took off the purple from Him, and put His own clothes on Him, and led Him out to crucify Him... And they bring the Purple Man unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, ‘The place of a skull’. And they gave Him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but He received it not. And when they had crucified Him, they parted His garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take. And it was the third hour, and they crucified Him. And the superscription of His accusation was written over, ‘THE KING OF THE JEWS’. And with Him they crucify two thieves; the one on His right hand, and the other on His left. And the Scripture was fulfilled, which saith, ‘And He was numbered with the transgressors.’”

“And they that passed by railed on Him, wagging their heads, and saying, ‘Ah, Thou that destroyest the Temple, and buildest it in three days, save Thyself, and come down from the cross!’”

“Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, ‘He saved others; Himself He cannot save. Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe!’ And they that were crucified with Him reviled Him.”

“And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. And at the ninth hour, the Purple Man cried with a loud voice, saying, ‘Eloi, Eloi, lama sabactani?’, which is, being interpreted, ‘My Love [Blue One], My Love [Scarlet One], why hast Thou forsaken Me?’”

“And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, ‘Behold, He calleth Elias!’ And one ran and filled a sponge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave Him to drink, saying, ‘Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take Him down.’ And the Purple Man cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. And the veil of the Temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom. And when the centurion, which stood over against the Purple Man, saw that He so cried, and gave up the ghost, he said, ‘Truly this Man was the Son of God!’”

“The One-who-Is also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah. In that day shall the One-who-Is defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as Love, as the Archangel of the One-who-Is before them. And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon Me [the Purple Man], whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for Him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for Him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem... And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart; all the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.”

“Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first He lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations. The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined. Thou hast multiplied the nation, and increased the joy: they joy before Thee according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil. For Thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian. For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire. For unto us a Child [Purple Man] is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty One-who-Is, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. He [the Purple One] shall order the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David [the scarlet heir] and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever. The zeal of the One-who-Is will perform this.”
