The Book of Ahkman

1Now I did receive a vision which I taught unto the people. And an Angel did come unto me and he did say, Follow me. And I followed him. Now behold I was caught up into a vision. And it came to pass that I inquired of the Angel whither we were to go. And he said unto me, We go to see the fruitfulness of your seed. Wherefore I did see clouds before me. And the Angel said, Behold! And I saw the clouds did part before me and I saw thousands of islands. Yea, some were great and others were small. And the Angel said unto me, behold this is the land of your fathers. Yea, it is even the same land wherein you do reside. And behold the land you see before you is that same land that your seed shall inherit. And it came to pass that we did draw closer into the islands insomuch that I could see the inhabitants thereof. And the Angel said unto me, Behold! And I beheld the land was filled with people. And they were exceedingly poor. And many did starve because of the lack of food. And Yea, the land will filled with filth and waste even so much that many beautiful places had become ugly and wasted. And many people had become drunk and did loose themselves in drink. Wherefore they did harm their wives and young ones. And they did waste their money in drink. And, Yea their families did starve because of this. And diseases did come upon many people and they were struck with many afflictions. And Yea even the very air that they did breath was tainted. And now the Angel did say unto me, Behold! And I beheld that the leaders, that the people did elect to rule over them, did take and steal from the people. And they did wax fat upon the work of the people. And behold many others from distant lands who were rich did come upon my seed. And they did take unto themselves wives of the young daughters of my seed. And it came to pass that the daughters of my seed did see the riches that were bestowed upon the wives of the foreign men. And they did desire these riches insomuch as they did desire to give themselves unto those aged men so that they would also have riches bestowed upon them. And the Angel said unto me, Behold! And I beheld that the lands and waters which had once been full of fruit and animals that were good for eating had become barren insomuch as the people did struggle to get food for themselves.
