Words from the Hidden Book - Part Three

The Valley of Decision

"And the angel appeared in a vision and spoke to me as if in a dream.

''Look down upon the valley, John. Tell me what you see.'

'I see a flock of sheep gathered in the center thereof, their heads turned toward the south.
One appears as a man in the midst of the flock wearing a shepherd's garments.
In his right hand he carries a staff bearing the symbol of David.
On his forehead appears a name, hidden and mysterious and unable to be spoken.'

And I John, turned to the angel and asked, 'what is the meaning of the symbol and the name
which cannot be uttered? And whois this shepherd? Does he tend his flock or another man's sheep?
And what is the meaning of the sheep turning their heads to the south,
where a mighty wind blows into the face of the flock?'

As I inquired, the angel lifted his eyes to heaven, and pulled back the veil
covering his face revealing to I, John, the face of Gabriel.

And I John, bowed to receive the message from the Messenger whom God had sent to me.

In awe, unable to move, I was carried away in spirit to a high mountain.
On the hillside, a man walked alone, yet, I John walked beside him.
Gabriel opened the eyes of my understanding and poured forth a mighty vial of water
which then flowed from the mouth of the man on the hillside,
and I was filled with much knowledge in an instant.

The man turned to look upon the valley, his face aglow with light. And I knew him.
His name is Abraham, from the time of the beginning to the time of the end.
The sheep are his children, given to him by the Father,
and the Shepherd is the False Prophet who speaks great blasphemies against the Lord, our Christ.
The sheep face the south for they are deceived
and know not from whence they came or whither they goeth.

The Valley is the great 'Valley of Jehoshaphat' (see Joel 3:12; Psalms 7:6; 98:9) ,
the place of decision as spoken of by the prophets of old.

Father Abraham walked with I, John, and the mighty angel Gabriel in spirit to the hour of decision,
before the time of the wrath of God, and declared the Word and Command
of Almighty God to His servants, the Prophets.

'Warn my sheep!' sayeth the Lord, 'that they might be delivered from the Day of Wrath of Almighty God.'

The angel declared the meaning of the wind blowing in the face of the flock
to be the torrent of false doctrine, tossing the sheep to and fro
as if being cast into the bowels of a stormy sea."
As I turned, I found myself walking alone in the desert.
In front of me lay the little book given to I John
by the mighty angel, it's pages blowing in the wind.

This is the end of the vision."
