Gad the Seer 2

1After these true things, I had a vision from God saying:

2“Set your face eastward, northward, southward, and westward.

3And whistle with your mouth as a bird whistles to its young and say: ‘Four corners of the earth, listen to the Word of the LORD.

4Thus saith the LORD, who sits and dwells over the cherubim: ‘Give, give, give, take out, take out, take out My seed that I have sown in you, for the time for the seed has come.

5For yet a little while I shall collect My seed on My threshing floor.

6And the threshing floor will be holy; an impure seed will not be found there.

7Prior to those days My seed was mixed with lentils, and barley, and fitches, beans, and gourds.

8And in the end of days the sower shall be true and the seed shall be true and from the seed all the land will be blessed.

9Be joyful and glad, remnant of Judah and rejected of Israel, for salvation is with the LORD.

10As you shall be a curse and blasphemy to all the families of the earth, so shall you be a blessing and grace forever.

11At that time no cursed or unholy people will be found among you,

12for everyone will join you in the covenant, the Law, testimonies, statutes, and ordinances.

13And you and they shall have one God, one covenant, one law, one language, for all shall speak in the language of Hebrew, the holy language.

14Blessed are you, O Israel, who is like unto you? A people saved by the LORD, for He will go before you to fight your wars with your enemies.

15Woe to you, O Edom, that sits in the land of Kittim in the north of the sea.

16For your destroyers will emerge from a terrible nation. They will not even leave you a remnant.

17For you have said: ‘I sit on high, and only I have a covenant with the God of gods, for the LORD chose me instead of His holy people, for He abhorred them.

18And His former people, despised and rejected, did not truly know the LORD [the Father] because they did not know His image [the Son].

19We are truly wise and intelligent; we know the LORD and His Law, we know His image [the Son] and presence [the Holy Spirit].’

20But thus says the LORD: ‘Because you rose up in pride to brag about the God of gods, know that you will perish in your conceitedness.

21For why would you put confidence in man, whose life is like a vapor, which begins in the morning, and is gone by noon-day, placing him to sit beside God.

22For it is not you whom I knew formerly, and where is the bill of divorce of My people, that you said would be a prey; show it to Me!

23Your corpses will fall among My people.’

24O jealous Yahweh, come out; come out of your place and smite Edom; consume them.

25Come to Zerephath, come to Sepharad, come to Ashkenaz, come to Garmania; they shall come and fall in the lowest pit, in destruction, and in the shadow of death, for your mouth will fail you, and no one will help you.

26At the end of days Michael the great prince will stand up in war like a whirlwind against Samael the prince of this world to put him under his feet, in the wind of the LORD, and it shall be eaten up; for the LORD has spoken it.

27At the end of days the robbed will overcome the robber, and the weak, the strong, truly and in righteousness.

28Your God is your Savior, O Israel; with Him you will be saved, for He is a merciful God. He will not abandon you,

29for you shall keep on doing all that I commanded you in the Law of Moses My servant.’
