The Book of Visions 1

The opening testimony frame of the Aklatan: a vision on a Dagupan beach reveals a cave hiding rusted copper sheets, and Christ appears to commission a Paul-like calling among the isles of the sea. The frame carries genuine covenant vocabulary — other sheep led away by the Father, gathering back into the House of Israel, a land of inheritance bounded and named, one flock and one shepherd. Christ affirms His word extends beyond the Bible without diminishing it, and directs Ezekiel 40-48 to open the record. Yet this is a people receiving much truth while resting confirmation on visions, a translating servant, and a physical proof-record rather than seeking the Holy Spirit's witness on every doctrine — the posture in which its later claims must be weighed.
