The Hebrew Prophets

And the Lord said to Satan: The Lord rebuke thee, O Satan: and the Lord that chose Jerusalem rebuke thee: Is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?

And Jesus was clothed with filthy garments: and he stood before the face of the angel.

Who answered, and said to them that stood before him, saying: Take away the filthy garments from him. And he said to him: Behold I have taken away thy iniquity, and have clothed thee with change of garments.

And he said: Put a clean mitre upon his head: and they put a clean mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments, and the angel of the Lord stood.

And the angel of the Lord protested to Jesus, saying:

Thus saith the Lord of hosts: If thou wilt walk in my ways, and keep my charge, thou also shalt judge my house, and shalt keep my courts, and I will give thee some of them that are now present here to walk with thee.

Hear, O Jesus thou high priest, thou and thy friends that dwell before thee, for they are portending men: for behold, I WILL BRING MY SERVANT THE ORIENT.

For behold the stone that I have laid before Jesus: upon one stone there are seven eyes: behold I will grave the graving thereof, saith the Lord of hosts: and I will take away the iniquity of that land in one day.

In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, every man shall call his friend under the vine and under the fig tree.

And the angel that spoke in me came again: and he waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep.

And he said to me: What seest thou? And I said: I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, and its lamp upon the top of it: and the seven lights thereof upon it: and seven funnels for the lights that were upon the top thereof.

And two olive trees over it: one upon the right side of the lamp, and the other upon the left side thereof.

And I answered, and said to the angel that spoke in me, saying: What are these things, my lord?

And the angel that spoke in me answered, and said to me: Knowest thou not what these things are? And I said: No, my lord.

And he answered, and spoke to me, saying: This is the word of the Lord to Zorobabel, saying: Not with an army, nor by might, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.

Who art thou, O great mountain, before Zorobabel? thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring out the chief stone, and shall give equal grace to the grace thereof.

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

The hands of Zorobabel have laid the foundations of this house, and his hands shall finish it: and you shall know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me to you.

For who hath despised little days? and they shall rejoice, and shall see the tin plummet in the hand of Zorobabel. These are the seven eyes of the Lord, that run to and fro through the whole earth.

And I answered, and said to him: What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick, and upon the left side thereof ?

And I answered again, and said to him: What are the two olive branches, that are by the two golden beaks, in which are the funnels of gold?

And he spoke to me, saying: Knowest thou not what these are? And I said: No, my lord.

And he said: These are two sons of oil who stand before the Lord of the whole earth.

And I turned and lifted up my eyes: and I saw, and behold a volume flying.

And he said to me: What seest thou? And I said: I see a volume flying: the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.
