Chapter 248:

The Time Draweth Short

<< Previous | Home | Next >>

1. I SING you a song redundant with beauty; I say unto you, Be wise, for inasmuch as ye are wise, ye behold the Great Promise that hath been uttered from afar.

2. Evil things affect you, evil men do prey upon you, evil spirits cast up monsters that seize upon your offspring, they come and go lecherously, uttering great blasphemies; they say, This will we have and that will we deny.

3. But I say unto you that inasmuch as ye perceive their evil and act with a tolerance not of the heart but of the intellect, ye do encompass their lecheries and fetch them to default.

4. For it so happeneth that he who is evil diggeth his pit and walketh into it himself; he who doth a goodly deed taketh its wings and mounteth ever upward.

5. He who maketh a stench unto his neighbor smelleth it himself; but he who raiseth an incense unto his Creator maketh a perfume that delighteth the Anointed.

6. Hear the words of my promise: I say that those who utter mischiefs and blasphemies against you do presently utter wailings; they go and come now in the pride of possessions; presently they stand upon a mountain where all is darkness, crying, Who is there to hear us? . . . do we not cry for succor? . . why cometh none rescuing? . . .

7. What need have they for rescue, they who have done no rescuing but only caused a perishing? . . . . .who cometh saving those who have raised no debts of savings against themselves?

8. My beloved, give me heed! . . . I promise only that which directeth all things, which encompasseth the universe, which maketh it straight, which conducteth it aright.

9. I say, even as ye plant a mustard seed and a vast tree groweth, if it be an evil tree it performeth an Abaddon, if it be a tree of goodly fruit, it receiveth with its shade those who did plant it; it bestoweth an increase on those who come seeking it.

10. All things are pure, all things are true, all things are of good report in this: that whatsoever is just doth breed itself justice; whatever is false breedeth itself falseness; whatever giveth a goodly service unto the sons of men receiveth their blessing; whatever causeth them to stumble maketh a false way for those who walk blindly.

11. It is meet that ye do know these things, that ye lean hard upon them.

12. The law of righteousness cannot be defiled, it cannot be humbled, it may not be mocked.

13. Evil breedeth evil, goodness breedeth goodness, those who are of evil eateth of their vomit, those who are just, to them is justice rendered.

14. I perceive that ye do err when ye say, These things are visited upon us; naught is visited upon you, beloved, except as ye do will it.

15. Evil men do cause a vileness to appear amongst the multitude; they perform an evil chore, thinking mayhap that they are clever; ye do perceive those things which they do; ye say amongst yourselves, It is for our endurance.

16. I tell you it is not for your endurance, except as ye do make it of your noting; it falleth unto those who do the lechery to partake of it mightily; they who dig the pit cast their dirt on their own heads.

17. Would ye who pass by declare, In that it toucheth us, so was it meant that it should be aimed at us? I say it was not aimed at you but at the heads of those who so cast it.

18. Hear my words. Be at peace. Ye do suffer in your intellects in that an evil stalketh amongst you; it cometh and goeth hourly; I say that it defileth you; it maketh you to give out a calling that such things should cease in that they offend you.

19. I say, Endure them with a tolerance, in that ye perceive the law which performeth, that the evil person cometh into that which he hath performed, even unto himself, and ye who stand watching do make known his tumult.

20. I say let your tolerance be ever of the head, in that ye perceive that which passeth presently, out of which good is born, in that men everywhere do see that evil breedeth evil and foul things do rot upon the heads of those who wrought them as a pestilence.

21. But in your tolerance, remember this: that ye are not called to partake of the carrion cast up by the heavers of that which is dung; ye have no missions to linger by the way and say, It is of ourselves in that we receive it.

22. I say, Give it no countenance; see only the law and know only the process; allow for its continuance until the hour arriveth when those who deal falsely shall be slain by their falseness, when those who do evil are felled by its swordblade.

23. For all things, I tell you, have their times and their seasons; even the evil man must know the evil man's reward.

24. I say unto you, be wise: eschew the evil man, set a stake upon his doings, lest, harming himself, he do harm unto the innocent.

25. Give no countenance to Mammon, but be wise amongst yourselves, saying, These are the things that I know to be true: that the day is a tumult, that the carrion smelleth hourly, yet will I close my nostrils to it, though I lend myself to bury it.

26. It is meet that ye do these things, beloved, else greater tumults visit on you.

27. The end cometh in a day of exceeding great glory, and not all who cry Lord, Lord, are beholden of its beauty.

28. Tolerate in that ye perceive the law; tolerate not in that ye stand idly by while a great stench groweth and hourly sickeneth.

29. Act with a great acclaim for that which is righteous; give the evil man his hour in that he performeth his evil and receiveth his debasement.

30. Say not amongst yourselves: For this is the watchword, that the evil man is witness unto his own debasement, therefore do we wait that the debasement come and fell him.

31. Say rather amongst yourselves: We are the enlightened who show him his debasement; thus doth it come to him, in that we reveal it.

32. Beloved, hear my words and do them. Hear ye the preachment. Discern ye the Doctrine. I pass amongst you, declaring many beauties; I come unto you privately, ennobling many vistas.

33. The time draweth short ere the hour for action falleth.

34. Dwell ever in my love and know that it sustaineth you.
