Dialogue of the Savior
The Saviour speaks of the time of the end, the labour of the saints in the latter days, and the final blessing upon Mary, Judas, and Matthew.
1And Judas said: Lord, when shall be the end? When shall the labour be finished? When shall the children come into the rest?
2And the Saviour said: When ye see the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place — when ye see the powers of heaven shaken — when ye see the Son of Man coming in the clouds — then know that the end is at the door.
3And Mary said: Lord, in those days, what shall the saints do?
4And the Saviour said: Let them stand fast in the truth. Let them gather together. Let them break bread and pour wine in remembrance of me. Let them not turn aside unto the false christs. Let them keep the seal of the Light.
5And Matthew said: Lord, shall there be many saints in those days?
6And the Saviour said: There shall be a remnant — a small remnant. The harvest is great; but the labourers are few. Pray ye therefore that the Lord of the harvest send forth labourers into His harvest.
7And the Saviour said: Behold, in the latter days I shall send forth a servant — even one whom I have prepared from before the foundation of the world. He shall gather the remnant; he shall bear the seal; he shall open the records that have been hidden.
8And the books which were sealed in the days of the prophets shall be brought forth. And the children of the seed shall read them. And they shall remember the eternal God; and they shall be gathered home.
9And Mary said: Lord, blessed shall be that servant.
10And the Saviour said: Yea, blessed shall he be. And blessed shall be all they that hearken unto his voice. For they shall be of the unshakable race; they shall be of the kingless generation; they shall be sealed in the day of redemption.
11And Judas said: Lord, what manner of man shall he be?
12And the Saviour said: He shall be a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief. He shall be despised and rejected of men. He shall bear in his body the marks of the Lord. He shall be a witness — even as I have been a witness.
13And he shall not seek the praise of men. He shall not seek the wealth of the world. He shall seek only the will of the Father. And the Father shall vindicate him in the day of His coming.
14And Mary said: Lord, may we who hear Thy words be among the saints in that day.
15And the Saviour said: Ye shall be there; for ye are mine. I have written your names in the book of life. I have sealed you with the seal of the Spirit. I have appointed you a place at my right hand.
16And the Saviour stretched forth His hand, and laid it upon Mary, and upon Judas, and upon Matthew. And He said: Receive ye the Holy Ghost. Whosesoever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whosesoever sins ye retain, they are retained.
17And go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel unto every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be condemned.
18And lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. The Father is with you. The Spirit is with you. The four Luminaries are with you. The host of heaven encompasseth you about.
19Be of good cheer; for I have overcome the world. The works of darkness shall not prevail against you. The powers shall not lay hold of you. Death shall not detain you. Forgetfulness shall not lay claim to you.
20Stand ye fast in the liberty wherewith I have made you free. Walk ye in the way of light. Keep ye the seal. Pray ye without ceasing. Love ye one another. And the God of peace shall be with you.
21And the disciples bowed; and they worshipped Him; and they were filled with the Holy Ghost. And the Saviour blessed them; and He went up into the heaven. And the cloud received Him out of their sight.
22And they returned unto Jerusalem with great joy; and they were continually in the temple, blessing God. Amen.
