The mysteries of ASCENSION explained by Dr. Douglas Gabriel

Christ’s Words and the Teachings of the Apostles

A Language of the Spirit

Christ’s words are all we need to attain a new spiritual language that allows us to listen to and speak with the spiritual hierarchies that surround us both day and night. Some of the words of Christ are embedded in a mystery language that he told his apostles could only be understood by them through the help of the Holy Spirit after the fiery tongues of the spirit descended upon them during Pentecost. The apostles were taught the language of the spirit, a moral path of development reserved for the select few who could understand the nature of the Cosmic Christ whereas others were taught through parables and Jesus Christ’s example. This alphabet of the cosmic Christ is known in spiritual science as the Sophia of Christ, the Wisdom of Love.

In the third volume of The Gospel of Sophia, The Sophia Christos Initiation, by Dr. Tyla Gabriel, we are presented with a variety of alphabets of the spirit that can be developed into a Language of the Spirit. Numerous alphabets are presented from ancient traditions, religions, and even modern writers who present the rungs of the ladder of ascension of the human soul into the spiritual world of living, active hierarchical beings who stand ready to assist the winged soul on its path to “my Father’s house which has many mansions.” These spiritual alphabets constitute the basis for a moral language of love that builds the celestial mansions that our souls are destined to accomplish with the help of Christ and the Holy Spirit. These mystery languages reveal the deep wisdom we find when we examine Christ’s Ascension and the coming of the Holy Spirit during Pentecost.

I quote from page 303 of The Gospel of Sophia, The Sophia Christos Initiation, Volume 3:

“Everything that we experience is a communication. In fact, so is the world too a communication—the revelation of spirit. The time is gone when the spirit of God was comprehensible to us. The meaning of the world has been lost to us. We have seen only its letters. We have lost that which is appearing behind the appearance.” Novalis, Schriften

The Spiritual Language of Human Beings

“Once you have constructed your Temple of Wisdom with sturdy pillars of virtue holding its starry dome in space, it will be only natural that you will want to invite the hierarchy into your spiritual abode. This is your wedding day. Here, you join your higher self and discover the amazing being that you have always been. The spiritual hierarchies have spoken to you through the eons in their language of spirit. Your physical and etheric bodies are reflections of the language they spoke to you from the beginning: the Word.

Now that you are awakening from your spiritual slumber and becoming conscious of your divine nature, you begin to see, feel, and hear nonphysical beings all around you. Your deepest desire is to communicate and reconnect with them. But their language is not an earthly one, so you must find a language befitting an angel or an archangel. Your language, like your Temple of Wisdom, will be uniquely yours. You will choose a language that resonates with you and your traditions. It will reflect your individual cosmology, whether it comes from the religious traditions of your family, The Gospel of Sophia, the Tarot, or in one of the spiritual languages suggested in this chapter. There is no guru or master at this point who can guide you over the threshold. This is your journey, prepared for you by Sophia, to enter the etheric realm to meet Christ. Once you accept this as your language of communication with the divine, you will become more proficient in using it, especially with practice. Only one language of the spirit is needed, and choosing several languages will not necessarily reap greater rewards.

There are many spiritual languages, and no particular one is exclusively correct. The openness of the initiate is the key to success. As commonly known to seekers of higher knowledge, there are many paths to the mountaintop. Once at the summit, the initiate must learn to fly with her newfound wings of spiritual language.

Spiritual languages can take many forms, indicated by words, symbols, numbers, forms, and functions. Both the ten (10) and twenty-two (22) letters of the human spiritual language describe the active working of living spiritual beings of the hierarchy. We have found our place among the hierarchy with our descent and ascension. The forces of cosmic space have spoken a language of the spirit to create us. Now, we are learning a new language to converse with the spirit. This language flows into us from all directions and builds our world. Learning to listen and translate this language is the current challenge of spiritual evolution.

The Mysteries of Twelve are found in the active formative forces of space raying into the human form. These mysteries are accessed through one of many spiritual tools that reveal the true nature of the human being’s spiritual constitution as a language. When the language is translated and taken deeply into the soul, a spiritual dialogue is possible with higher beings and the elemental forces of nature. This is the speech of nature or the “language of the birds” referred to in legend and fairytale. This language is derived by taming the dragon, the combined animal forces of the zodiac.

Psyche and Heracles were good examples of solar initiates who conquered the twelve signs of the zodiac and brought their astral body of desires under the control of their spiritual nature. They went through trials and learned new languages to overcome the challenges placed before them. This is the perennial story of every budding aspirant who becomes an initiate. Offered  below and expanded in the appendix are several approaches to languages of the cosmos for the initiate to consider. To the untrained and uninitiated, these spiritual tools may be illegible and meaningless, but they provide the initiated with amazing insight. Ultimately, the initiate will choose the language that resonates with her personal cosmology and worksthe best in the dialogue with the spirit.

Twenty-Two Sayings of Christ Jesus

It is not only formative forces and letters of an alphabet that are needed to understand a Book of Wisdom. The aspirant also must examine ideas that energize philosophies and the virtues, driving him upward to meet his higher self. Christ’s words leave fiery images in our heart that drive our will into loving action in resonance with these images. Christ lights the fires of the heart through words that create images in our mind. Christ’s words are living Imaginations that comprise the ladder by which the spirit descends, and the human ascends. Christ is not only creating powerful images to evoke, but also giving us virtuous instructions by which to live and emulate.

1. You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

2. In your patience possess you your soul.

3. Have salt in yourself, and have peace with one another.

4. Whatsoever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive.

5. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

6. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart brings forth good things.

7. Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

8. He that is greatest among you shall be your servant, and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

9. The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.

10. As you would that men should do to you, do you also to them likewise.

11. You are the light of the world. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

12. Suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.

13. Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: and Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

14. Love you your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward shall be great, and you shall be the children of the highest: be you therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

15. Judge not, and you shall not be judged; condemn not, and you shall not be condemned; forgive, and you shall be forgiven; give, and it shall be given unto you.

16. The kingdom of heaven is at hand! Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely you have received, freely give.

17. Be you therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves, for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; nor hid, that shall not be known.

18. Be you therefore perfect, even as your Father who is in heaven is perfect. If you will be perfect, go and sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven.

19. Seek you first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.

20. Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

21. The hour now is when true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

22. Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive our trespassers. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.

The Spiritual Language of Johannes Tauler

The Master Jesus (Zoroaster) visited Johannes Tauler of Alsace (1300–1361 A.D.) and inspired his Alphabet of Virtues as a rare gift in spiritual history. The Friend of God from the Highlands was a hidden figure in history, as often times the Master Jesus’s incarnations are obscure and unknown to historians. There is also a legend that the Master Jesus inspired the teacher of Abraham Lincoln and that he taught Jacob Boehme. This author has even heard it said that Rudolf Steiner met the Master Jesus a number of times in the Carpathian Mountains and this Master encouraged Steiner to study Fichte and science.

Truly, the taming of the astral body through the perfection of virtue is a path of spiritual development appropriate for our time. Unbridled passions, fear, and psychosis rule the modern soul-scape. Seldom do New Age teachings recommend renunciation or austerities as the first step in spiritual development. The great ills of jealousy, envy, greed, sloth, gluttony, hatred, and anger are counteracted by the development of faith, hope, charity, industry, frugality, love, and patience. In other words, through the taming of the astral body, the aspirant is able to ascend a path back to his heavenly home, travailing a path that is completely guided by the individual. Responsibility and discipline are its foundation, and devotion and dedication are the elements that encourage the aspirant on his solo path. For the serious aspirant, there are no excuses for not discarding the vices from one’s life and developing good habits based on the virtues.

Upon receiving this Alphabet from the Master Jesus (approximately 1346 A.D.), Tauler retreated for two years in silence within a Dominican monastery. His first sermon following this period left forty people in a dead faint. The Alphabet contains two secrets. It brings about a complete purification of the astral body, so that it is possible to eliminate all hindrances from it such as egotism, self-will, and personal ambitions. The astral body can then become clairvoyant through the effect of certain cosmic powers. Tauler’s alphabet is an initiation into the cosmic forces of the planetary system and zodiac. Each letter reveals one secret of a planet or zodiacal sign. Knowledge of how the Logos is incorporated in the zodiac and planets is the result of such a study.

The Alphabet of Johanness Tauler

A pure and godly life begin.

Bad deeds and thoughts avoid, and do the good instead.

Cherish the golden mean; restrain yourself.

Demure in thoughts and actions, practice humility.

Egotism and self-will, let them submit to the will of God.

Firm and with steadfast earnestness remain with God and in God.

Godly things most willingly obey.

Hold not onto the earthly creation.

In your heart strive to practice and meditate on the measure of things, good and divine.

Kourageously and strong, resist the temptation of the flesh and the devil.

Laziness and indifference conquer with force.

Mindful and merciful, exercise love for God and your fellow man.

Nothing desire; begrudge no one, whatever it be.

Order keep in all things and turn all things to the good.

Punishment from the Creator or from the world of the creatures most willingly accept.

Quicken forgiveness for all who have wronged you.

Reason, soul, and body learn to keep pure.

Stay gentle in soul concerning all things that are truly good.

True and faithful be to all human beings.

Unerringly desist from excess of any kind whatsoever.

Xristos, His Life and His teachings – emulate and meditate upon them without ceasing.

Yearning for heavenly solace, entreat our Lady to aid you.

Zealously tame your nature that in all things divinely created you may attain peace.

This type of morality training is at the heart of spiritual development, and Tauler has given a moral alphabet to reach the spiritual world, encouraging a reciprocal relationship and dialogue with the divine. Human effort is answered by spiritual response; then both human and divine are nourished and fed. There are many people like Tauler throughout history who share with humanity the wisdom they have gleaned from their personal Book of Wisdom. Tauler’s Alphabet, as a Book of Wisdom, works, and so do many others. Spiritual languages are bridges that connect the human alphabet and language to the language of the spirit. 

The Original Teachings of the Apostles

The Didache was possibly written around 65-80 A.D. and is supposed to be what the twelve apostles taught to the Gentiles concerning life and death, church order, fasting, baptism, prayer, and many other ecclesiastical concerns. The closing chapter enjoins watchfulness in view of the coming of Christ, which is then described.

The Didache means “The Teaching” – Christian tradition has claimed that “The Teaching” is nothing less than the teaching of the Twelve Apostles to the early-Church. The Didache was considered by many in the early Church as part of the New Testament. It fell out of thecanonof the New Testament as time passed but continued to serve as a Christian manual or catechism.

The Didache was lost for centuries until 1873 when a Greek manuscript was rediscovered. The Didache serves as an important historical document in the early Church, as well as providing solutions to practical Church questions as a first catechism. The Didache is a first-century Christian manual of sorts for Christian living; it was highly debated as a candidate for canonicity.  

The Didache is also known as The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles. The text, parts of which constitute the oldest extant written catechism, has three main sections dealing with Christian ethics, rituals such as baptism and Eucharist, and Church organization. The opening chapters describe the virtuous Way of Life and the wicked Way of Death. The Lord’s Prayer is included in full. It informs us that baptism is by immersion, or by affusion if immersion is not practical. Fasting is ordered for Wednesdays and Fridays. Two primitive Eucharistic prayers are also given in the text. Church organization was at an early stage of development and therefore itinerant apostles and prophets are important, serving as “chief priests” and possibly celebrating the Eucharist, the breaking of bread.

The Didache is considered the first example of the genre of Church Orders. It reveals how Jewish Christians saw themselves and how they adapted their practice for Gentile Christians. The Didache is similar in several ways to the Gospel of Matthew, The Epistle of Barnabas and The Two Ways, perhaps because the texts originated in similar communities. The opening chapters, which also appear in other early Christian texts, are likely derived from an earlier source often speculated to be the “Q Document” or The Gospel of Thomas. That notwithstanding, The Didache is full of wisdom and provides a Christian with another moral language of the spirit.

The Didache, or The Teaching of the Lord to the Gentiles by the Twelve Apostles

Translated by J.B. Lightfoot.

There are two ways, one of life and one of death, and there is a great difference between the two ways. The way of life is this. First of all, thou shalt love the God that made thee; secondly, Thy neighbor as thyself. And all things whatsoever thou wouldst not have befall thyself, neither do thou unto another. Now of these words the doctrine is this. Bless them that curse you, and pray for your enemies and fast for them that persecute you; for what thanks is it, if ye love them that love you? Do not even the Gentiles the same? But do love them that hate you, and ye shall not have an enemy.

Abstain thou from fleshly and bodily lusts. If any man give thee a blow on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also, and thou shalt be perfect; if a man impress thee to go with him one mile, go with him twain; if a man take away thy cloak, give him thy coat also; if a man take away from thee that which is thy own, ask it not back, for neither art thou able.

To every man that asketh of thee give and ask not back for the Father desireth that gifts be given to all from His own bounties. Blessed is he that giveth according to the commandments; for he is guiltless. Woe to him that receiveth; for, if a man receiveth having need, he is guiltless; but he that hath no need shall give satisfaction why and wherefore he received and being put in confinement he shall be examined concerning the deeds that he hath done, and he shall not come out thence until he hath given back the last farthing. Yea, as touching this also it is said; let thine alms sweat into thine hands, until thou have learnt to whom to give.

And this is the second commandment of the teaching. Thou shalt do no murder, thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not corrupt boys, thou shalt not commit fornication, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not deal in magic, thou shalt do no sorcery, thou shalt not murder a child by abortion nor kill them when born, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s goods, thou shalt not perjure thyself, thou shalt not bear false witness, thou shalt not speak evil, thou shalt not cherish a grudge, thou shalt not be double-minded nor double-tongued; for the double tongue is a snare of death.

Thy word shall not be false or empty but fulfilled by action. Thou shalt not be avaricious nor a plunderer nor a hypocrite nor ill- tempered nor proud. Thou shalt not entertain an evil design against thy neighbor. Thou shalt not hate any man but some thou shalt reprove, and for others thou shalt pray, and others thou shalt love more than thy life.

My child, flee from every evil and everything that resembleth it. Be not angry, for anger leadeth to murder, nor jealous nor contentious nor wrathful; for from all these things murders are engendered.

My child, be not lustful, for lust leadeth to fornication, neither foul-speaking neither with uplifted eyes; for of all these things adulteries are engendered.

My child, be no dealer in omens, since it leads to idolatry, nor an enchanter nor an astrologer nor a magician, neither be willing to look at them; for from all these things idolatry is engendered.

My child, be not a liar, since lying leads to theft, neither avaricious nor vainglorious; for from all these things thefts are engendered.

My child, be not a murmurer, since it leadeth to blasphemy, neither self-willed neither a thinker of evil thoughts; for from all these things blasphemies are engendered. But be meek, since the meek shall inherit the earth. Be long-suffering and pitiful and guileless and quiet and kindly and always fearing the words which thou hast heard.

Thou shalt not exalt thyself, neither shalt thou admit boldness into thy soul. Thy soul shall not cleave together with the lofty, but with the righteous and humble shalt thou walk. The accidents that befall thee thou shalt receive as good, knowing that nothing is done without God.

My child, thou shalt remember him that speaketh unto thee the word of God night and day, and shalt honor him as the Lord; for whencesoever the Lordship speaketh, there is the Lord. Moreover thou shalt seek out day by day the persons of the saints, that thou mayest find rest in their words.

Thou shalt not make a schism, but thou shalt pacify them that contend; thou shalt judge righteously, thou shalt not make a difference in a person to reprove him for transgressions. Thou shalt not doubt whether a thing shall be or not be.

Be not thou found holding out thy hands to receive but drawing them in as to giving. If thou hast ought passing through thy hands, thou shalt give a ransom for thy sins. Thou shalt not hesitate to give, neither shalt thou murmur when giving; for thou shalt know who is the good paymaster of thy reward.

Thou shalt not turn away from him that is in want, but shalt make thy brother partaker in all things, and shalt not say that anything is thy own. For if ye are fellow-partakers in that which is imperishable, how much rather in the things which are perishable?

Thou shalt not withhold thy hand from thy son or from thy daughter, but from their youth thou shalt teach them the fear of God.

Thou shalt not command thy bondservant or thine handmaid in thy bitterness who trust in the same God as thyself, lest haply they should cease to fear the God who is over both of you; for He cometh, not to call men with respect of persons, but He cometh to those whom the Spirit hath prepared. But ye, servants, shall be subject unto your masters, as to a type of God, in shame and fear.

Thou shalt hate all hypocrisy, and everything that is not pleasing to the Lord. Thou shalt never forsake the commandments of the Lord but shalt keep those things which thou hast received, neither adding to them nor taking away from them.

In church thou shalt confess thy transgressions, and shalt not betake thyself to prayer with an evil conscience. This is the way of life. But the way of death is this. First of all, it is evil and full of a curse; murders, adulteries, lusts, fornications, thefts, idolatries, magical arts, witchcrafts, plunderings, false witnessings, hypocrisies, doubleness of heart, treachery, pride, malice, stubbornness, covetousness, foul-speaking, jealousy, boldness, exaltation, boastfulness; persecutors of good men, hating truth, loving a lie, not perceiving the reward of righteousness, not cleaving to the good nor to righteous judgment, wakeful not for that which is good but for that which is evil, from whom gentleness and forbearance stand aloof; loving vain things, pursuing a recompense, not pitying the poor man, not toiling for him that is oppressed with toil, not recognizing Him that made them, murderers of children, corrupters of the creatures of God, turning away from him that is in want, oppressing him that is afflicted, advocates of the wealthy, unjust judges of the poor, altogether sinful. May ye be delivered, my children, from all these things.

See lest any man lead you astray from this way of righteousness, for he teacheth thee apart from God. For if thou art able to bear the whole yoke of the Lord, thou shalt be perfect; but if thou art not able, do that which thou art able.

But concerning eating, bear that which thou art able; yet abstain by all means from meat sacrificed to idols; for it is the worship of dead gods.

But concerning baptism, thus shall ye baptize. Having first recited all these things, baptize in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit in living (running) water. But if thou hast not living water, then baptize in other water; and if thou art not able in cold, then in warm.

But if thou hast neither, then pour water on the head thrice in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. But before the baptism let him that baptizeth and him that is baptized fast, and any others also who are able; and thou shalt order him that is baptized to fast a day or two before.

And let not your fastings be with the hypocrites, for they fast on the second and the fifth day of the week; but do ye keep your fast on the fourth and on the preparation (the sixth) day.

Neither pray ye as the hypocrites, but as the Lord commanded in His Gospel, thus pray ye:

Our Father, which art in heaven,

hallowed be Thy name;

Thy kingdom come;

Thy will be done,

as in heaven, so also on earth;

give us this day our daily bread;

and forgive us our debt,

as we forgive our debtors;

and lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from the evil one;

for Thine is the power and the glory for ever and ever.

Three times in the day pray ye so.

But as touching the eucharistic thanksgiving give ye thanks thus. First, as regards the cup: We give Thee thanks, O our Father, for the holy vine of Thy son David, which Thou madest known unto us through Thy Son Jesus; Thine is the glory for ever and ever.

Then as regarding the broken bread: We give Thee thanks, O our Father, for the life and knowledge which Thou didst make known unto us through Thy Son Jesus; Thine is the glory for ever and ever. As this broken bread was scattered upon the mountains and being gathered together became one, so may Thy Church be gathered together from the ends of the earth into Thy kingdom; for Thine is the glory and the power through Jesus Christ for ever and ever.

But let no one eat or drink of this eucharistic thanksgiving, but they that have been baptized into the name of the Lord; for concerning this also the Lord hath said: Give not that which is holy to the dogs. And after ye are satisfied thus give ye thanks: We give Thee thanks, Holy Father,

for Thy holy name, which Thou hast made to tabernacle in our hearts, and for the knowledge and faith and immortality, which Thou hast made known unto us through Thy Son Jesus; Thine is the glory for ever and ever.

Thou, Almighty Master, didst create all things for Thy name’s sake, and didst give food and drink unto men for enjoyment, that they might render thanks to Thee; but didst bestow upon us spiritual food and drink and eternal life through Thy Son. Before all things we give Thee thanks that Thou art powerful; Thine is the glory for ever and ever.

Remember, Lord, Thy Church to deliver it from all evil and to perfect it in Thy love; and gather it together from the four winds, even the Church which has been sanctified into Thy kingdom which Thou hast prepared for it; for Thine is the power and the glory for ever and ever.

May grace come and may this world pass away. Hosanna to the God of David. If any man is holy, let him come; if any man is not, let him repent. Maranantha. Amen.

But permit the prophets to offer thanksgiving as much as they desire. Whosoever therefore shall come and teach you all these things that have been said before, receive him; but if the teacher himself be perverted and teach a different doctrine to the destruction thereof, hear him not; but if to the increase of righteousness and the knowledge of the Lord, receive him as the Lord.

But concerning the apostles and prophets, so do ye according to the ordinance of the Gospel.

Let every apostle, when he cometh to you, be received as the Lord; but he shall not abide more than a single day, or if there be need, a second likewise; but if he abide three days, he is a false prophet. And when he departeth let the apostle receive nothing save bread, until he findeth shelter; but if he ask money, he is a false prophet.

And any prophet speaking in the Spirit ye shall not try or neither discern; for every sin shall be forgiven, but this sin shall not be forgiven. Yet not everyone that speaketh in the Spirit is a prophet, but only if he has the ways of the Lord. From his ways therefore the false prophet and the prophet shall be recognized. And no prophet, when he ordereth a table in the Spirit, shall eat of it; otherwise he is a false prophet. And every prophet teaching the truth, if he doeth not what he teacheth, is a false prophet. And every prophet approved and found true, if he doeth ought as an outward mystery typical of the Church, and yet teacheth you not to do all that he himself doeth, shall not be judged before you; he hath his judgment in the presence of God; for in like manner also did the prophets of old time.

And whosoever shall say in the Spirit, Give me silver or anything else, ye shall not listen to him; but if he tell you to give on behalf of others that are in want, let no man judge him. But let everyone that cometh in the name of the Lord be received; and then when ye have tested him ye shall know him, for ye shall have understanding on the right hand and on the left. If the comer is a traveler, assist him, so far as ye are able; but he shall not stay with you more than two or three days, if it be necessary. But if he wishes to settle with you, being a craftsman, let him work for and eat his bread. But if he has no craft, according to your wisdom provide how he shall live as a Christian among you, but not in idleness. If he will not do this, he is trafficking upon Christ. Beware of such men.

But every time a prophet, desiring to settle among you, is worthy of his food. In like manner a true teacher is also worthy, like the workman, of his food. Every first-fruit then of the produce of the wine vat and of the threshing floor, of thy oxen and of thy sheep, thou shalt take and give as the first fruit to the prophets; for they are your chief priests. But if ye have not a prophet, give them to the poor. If thou makest bread, take the first fruit and give according to the commandment. In like manner, when thou openest a jar of wine or of oil, take the first fruit and give to the prophets; yea and of money and raiment and every possession take the first fruit, as shall seem good to thee, and give according to the commandment.

And on the Lord’s own day gather yourselves together and break bread and give thanks, first confessing your transgressions, that your sacrifice may be pure. And let no man, having his dispute with his fellow, join your assembly until they have been reconciled, that your sacrifice may not be defiled; for this sacrifice it is that was spoken of by the Lord; In every place and at every time offer me a pure sacrifice; for I am a great king, saith the Lord, and My name is wonderful among the nations.

Appoint for yourselves therefore bishops and deacons worthy of the Lord, men who are meek and not lovers of money, and true and approved; for unto you they also perform the service of the prophets and teachers. Therefore despise them not; for they are your honorable men along with the prophets and teachers.

And reprove one another, not in anger but in peace, as ye find in the Gospel; and let no one speak to any that has gone wrong towards his neighbor, neither let him hear a word from you, until he repent. But your prayers and your almsgiving and all your deeds so do ye as ye find it in the Gospel of our Lord.

Be watchful for your life; let your lamps not be quenched and your loins not ungirdled but be ye ready; for ye know not the hour in which our Lord cometh. And ye shall gather yourselves together frequently, seeking what is fitting for your souls; for the whole time of your faith shall not profit you, if ye be not perfected at the last season. For in the last days the false prophets and corrupters shall be multiplied, and the sheep shall be turned into wolves, and love shall be turned into hate. For as lawlessness increaseth, they shall hate one another and shall persecute and betray. And then the world-deceiver shall appear as a son of God; and shall work signs and wonders, and the earth shall be delivered into his hands; and he shall do unholy things, which have never been since the world began.

Then all created mankind shall come to the fire of testing, and many shall be offended and perish; but they that endure in their faith shall be saved by the Christ Himself. And then shall the signs of the truth appear; first a sign of a rift in the heaven, then a sign of a sound of a trumpet, and thirdly a resurrection of the dead; yet not of all, but as it was said; The Lord shall come and all His saints with Him. Then shall the world see the Lord coming upon the clouds of heaven.
