THE SECOND BOOK OF NEFI Chapter 7

  1. And now I, Ya’akov, speak unto you again, my beloved brothers, concerning this righteous branch of which I have spoken. For behold, the promises which we have obtained are promises unto us according to the flesh. Wherefore, as it has been shown unto me that many of our children shall perish in the flesh because of unbelief, nevertheless, Elohim will be merciful unto many; and our children shall be restored, that they may come to that which will give them the true knowledge of their Redeemer. Wherefore, as I said unto you, it must necessarily be expedient that Mashiach (for, in the last night, the angel spoke unto me that this should be his name), that he should come among the Judeans, among those who are the more wicked part of the world. And they shall crucify him — for it is required by our Elohim — and there is no other nation on earth that would crucify their Elohim. For should the mighty miracles be worked among other nations, they would repent and know that he is their Elohim. But because of priestcrafts97 and iniquities, they at Yerushalayim will stiffen their necks against him, that he be crucified. Wherefore, because of their iniquities, destructions, famines, pestilences, and bloodsheds shall come upon them; and they who shall not be destroyed shall be scattered among all nations.
  2. But behold, thus says Adonai yhwh: When the day comes that they shall believe in me, that I am Mashiach, then have I covenanted with their fathers that they shall be restored in the flesh upon the earth unto the lands of their inheritance.98 And it shall come to pass that they shall be gathered in from their long dispersion, from the isles of the sea,99 and from the four parts of the earth.100 And the nations of the Goyim shall be great in the eyes of me, says Elohim, in carrying them forth to the lands of their inheritance. Yes, the kings of the Goyim shall be nursing fathers unto them, and their queens shall become nursing mothers.101 Wherefore, the promises of yhwh are great unto the Goyim, for he has spoken it, and who can dispute? But behold, this land, says Elohim, shall be a land of your inheritance, and the Goyim shall be blessed upon the land. And this land shall be a land of liberty unto the Goyim, and there shall be no kings upon the land who shall raise up unto the Goyim, and I will fortify this land against all other nations. And he that fights against Tziyon shall perish, says Elohim, for he that raises up a king against me shall perish. For I yhwh, the King of Heaven, will be their king, and I will be a light unto them for ever that hear my words.
  3. Wherefore, for this cause, that my covenants may be fulfilled which I have made unto the children of men, that I will do unto them while they are in the flesh, I must necessarily destroy the secret works of darkness, and of murders, and of abominations. Wherefore, he that fights against Tziyon, both Y’hudi and Goy, both bond and free, both male and female, shall perish; for they are they who are the whore of all the earth. For they who are not for me are against me, says our Elohim. For I will fulfill my promises which I have made unto the children of men that I will do unto them while they are in the flesh.
  4. Wherefore, my beloved brothers, thus says our Elohim: I will afflict your seed by the hand of the Goyim; nevertheless, I will soften the hearts of the Goyim, that they shall be like unto a father to them. Wherefore, the Goyim shall be blessed and numbered among the house of Isra’el. Wherefore, I will consecrate this land unto your seed, and they who shall be numbered among your seed, for ever, for the land of their inheritance; for it is a choice land, says Elohim unto me, above all other lands.102 Wherefore, I will have all men that dwell thereon that they shall worship me, says Elohim.
  5. And now my beloved brothers, seeing that our merciful Elohim has given us so great knowledge concerning these things, let us remember him, and lay aside our sins, and not hang down our heads; for we are not cast off. Nevertheless, we have been driven out of the land of our inheritance, but we have been led to a better land, for yhwh has made the sea our path, and we are upon an isle of the sea. But great are the promises of yhwh unto those who are upon the isles of the sea.103 Wherefore, as it says isles, there must necessarily be more than this, and they are inhabited also by our brothers. For behold, Adonai yhwh has led away from time to time from the house of Isra’el, according to his will and pleasure. And now behold, yhwh remembers all these who have been broken off; wherefore, he remembers us also. Therefore, cheer up your hearts and remember that you are free to act for yourselves, to choose the way of everlasting death or the way of Eternal life. Wherefore, my beloved brothers, reconcile yourselves to the will of Elohim, and not to the will of HaSatan and the flesh. And remember after you are reconciled unto Elohim that it is only in and through the grace of Elohim that you are saved. Wherefore, may Elohim raise you from death by the power of the resurrection, and also from everlasting death by the power of the atonement, that you may be received into the Eternal kingdom of Elohim, that you may praise him through grace divine. Amen.
