The Life of Suran

1Now behold I saw a great nation in a distant land. And the children rebelled against the mother. And they did gain much liberty from their fight. And they became the nation of the eagle. There shall be three great wars. In the first, brother shall fight against brother, even the nation of the eagle divided. And there shall be a great abomination rise up and they shall take the power from the people of the nation of the eagle. Now the second great war the nation of the eagle shall fight in a distant land and aid them. And the son of the second great war shall rise up and do great evils. And this shall be the cause of the third great war, for the abomination desires not to lose power in that nation. And they shall cause that the nation of the eagle shall fight in that land. Now behold the abomination shall cause much evil to come against the people of the nation of the eagle. And one great bird did attack one of the mountains. And another great bird did attack another of the mountains. There was much fire and smoke and after a time three mountains fell. And there were two lesser birds. And one did attack a large house and another did attack the earth. Now the great abomination did take power in this. And they did subjugate the people of the nation of the eagle. And this was done that they might gain more power over them. Now those who did perform this abomination did cause the liberties of the people should be done away with. And new laws were put into place that gave freedom unto the abomination. Wherefore the leader of the nation of the eagle had gone to war with another nation. And it was caused that the people of the nation of the eagle should believe that the people of the other nation were their enemy. And that they should slay them. Wherefore the abomination did cause such things to be believed that they might gain power over the nation. And it came to pass that I saw the fall of the nation of the eagle. And it was because of the abomination. For they sought to destroy the nation of the eagle.
