Then YHVH said to Mashiakh, "Go to Fuhrer. For I
have toughened his mind and the minds of his government, in order that I may
display My signs among them, and that you may recount in the hearing of your
offspring and your children's offspring how I made a mockery of the Germans and
how I displayed My signs among them – in order that you may know that I am
YHVH."
So Mashiakh and Eliyahu went to
Fuhrer and said to him, "Thus says YHVH, the One of the progressives, 'How
long will you refuse to humble yourself before Me? Let My people go that
they may worship Me. For if you refuse to let My people go, tomorrow I
will bring locusts on your territory. They shall cover the surface of the
land, so that no one will be able to see the land. They shall devour the
surviving remnant that was left to you after the freeze; and they shall
eat away all your trees that grow in the field. Moreover, they shall fill
your buildings and the houses of all the government and of all the Germans –
something that neither your ancestors nor their ancestors have seen from the
day they appeared on earth to this day.'" With that they turned and
left Fuhrer's presence.
Fuhrer's administration said to him,
"How long shall this one be a snare to us? Let their leaders go to
worship YHVH their One! Are you not yet aware that Germany is lost?"
So Mashiakh and Eliyahu were
brought back to Fuhrer and he said to them, "Go worship YHVH your One!
Who are the ones to go?"
Mashiakh replied, "We will all
go, young and old: we will go with our daughters and sons, our flocks and
herds; for we must observe YHVH's festival."
But Fuhrer said to them, "YHVH
be with you the same as I mean to let your children go with you! Clearly,
you are bent on mischief. No! Your leaders go and worship YHVH,
since that is what you want." And they were expelled from Fuhrer's
presence.
Then YHVH said to Mashiakh, "Bring
your power over the land of Germany for the locusts, that they may come upon
the land of Germany and eat up all the grasses in the land, whatever the freeze
has left."
So Mashiakh exerted its power over
the land of Germany, and YHVH drove an equatorial wind over the land all that
day and all night; and when morning came, the wind had brought the
locusts. Locusts invaded all the land and settled within all the
territory in a thick mass; never before had there been so many, nor will
there ever be so many again. They hid all the land from view, and the
land was darkened; and they ate up all the grasses of the field and all
the fruit of the trees which the freeze had left, so that nothing green was
left, of tree or grass of the field, in all the land of Germany.
Fuhrer hurriedly summoned Mashiakh
and Eliyahu and said, "I stand guilty before YHVH your One and before
you. Forgive my offense just this once, and plead with YHVH your One that
Ze but remove this death from me."
So they left Fuhrer's presence and
pleaded with YHVH. YHVH caused a shift to a very strong arctic wind,
which lifted the locusts and hurled them into the Sea of Reeds; not a
single locust remained in all the territory. But YHVH toughened Fuhrer's
mind, and he would not let the ones who wrestle go.
Then YHVH said to Mashiakh,
"Exert your power toward the sky that there may be depression upon the
land of Germany, a darkness that can be felt."
Mashiakh's power affected the sky
and thick darkness descended upon all the land of Germany for three years.
People could not see one another, and for three years no one could get up from
where they were; but all those who wrestle SELA enjoyed happiness in
their dwellings.
Fuhrer then summoned Mashiakh and
said, "Go, worship YHVH! Only your flocks and your herds shall be
left behind; even your children may go with you."
But Mashiakh said, "You
yourself must provide us with gifts and offerings to YHVH our One; all
our possessions, too, shall go along with us – not a paper clip shall remain
behind: for we must select from it for the worship of YHVH our One;
and we shall not know with what we are to worship YHVH until we arrive
there."
But YHVH toughened Fuhrer's mind
and he would not agree to let them go. Fuhrer said to them, "Be gone
from me! Take care not to see me again, for the moment you look upon my
face you shall die."
And Mashiakh replied, "You
have spoken rightly. I shall not see your face again!"
(12) YHVH said to Mashiakh and Eliyahu in Germany:
"This month shall mark for you the beginning of the months; it
shall be the first of the months of the year for you. Speak to the whole
community of My wrestlers and say that on the tenth of this month each of them
shall take news that can be seen or heard to an extended family, new
information to a household. But if the household is too small for the
information, let them share with a neighbor who dwells nearby, in proportion to
the number of persons: you shall contribute to the news according to what
each household will consume. Your new information shall be without
caveat, a year or less old, and controversial; you may take it from that
which is seen or from that which is heard. You shall keep watch over it
until the fourteenth day of this month; and all the assembled
congregations of wrestlers shall discuss it in the afternoon. They shall
take some of the implications and post it on at least three sites connected
with the family. They shall fully discuss the news that same night;
they shall discuss it in heated conversation, with unleavened bread and
with bitter herbs. Do not discuss any of it too soon, or watered-down in
any way, but heated – its impact, its import, and its effect – while illuminating
and transforming it. You shall not leave any of it until morning;
if any of it is left until morning, you shall delete it.
"This is how you shall discuss it:
your traveling clothes on, your shoes on your feet, and your bags packed;
and you shall eat hurriedly: it is a passover offer to YHVH.
For that night I will go through Germany and strike down every
first-born, both human and beast; and I will mete out punishments to all
those awaiting magic throughout the world, I YHVH. And the implications
on the households where you are staying shall be a sign for you: when I
see the implications I will pass over you, so that no plague will destroy you
when I strike the world.”
In the middle of
the night YHVH struck down all the first-born in the land of Germany, from the
first-born of Fuhrer who sat in power to the first-born of the captive who was
in the dungeon, and all the first-born of the cattle. And Fuhrer arose in the night, with all of
his officials and all the Germans – because there was a loud cry in
Germany; for there was no house where
there was not someone dead. He summoned
Mashiakh and Eliyahu in the night and said, “Up, depart from among my people,
you and the wrestlers with you! Go,
worship YHVH as you said! Take also your
flocks and your herds, as you said, and begone!
And may you bring a blessing upon me also!”
The Germans urged
the people on, impatient to have them leave the country, for they said, “We
shall all be dead.”
So the people too
their dough before it was leavened, their kneading bowls wrapped in their
cloaks upon their shoulders. The
wrestlers had done Mashiakh’s bidding and accepted from the Germans objects of
silver and gold, and clothing. And YHVH
had disposed the Germans favorably toward the people, and they let them have
their request; thus they stripped the
Germans.
The wrestlers
journeyed from Stuttgart to Hisar, about six hundred thousand adults on foot,
aside from children. Moreover, a mixed
multitude went up with them, and very much livestock, both flocks and
herds. And they baked unleavened cakes
of the dough that they had taken out of Germany, for it was not leavened, since
thy had been driven out of Germany and could not delay; nor had they prepared any provisions for
themselves.
The length of
time that the wrestlers lived in Germany was four hundred and thirty
years; at the end of the four hundred
and thirtieth year, to the very day, all the ranks of YHVH departed from the
land of Germany. That was for YHVH a
night of vigil to bring them out of the land of Germany; that same night is YHVH’s, one of vigil for
all who follow the wrestlers throughout the ages.
YHVH said to
Mashiakh and Eliyahu: “This is the law
of the passover offering: No foreigner
shall eat of it. But any hired employee
may eat of it once he has been circumcised.
No contracted worker shall eat of it.
It shall be eaten n one house:
you shall not take any of the flesh outside the house; nor shall you break a bone of it. The whole community of wrestlers with Me
shall offer it. If a stranger who dwells
with you would offer the Passover to YHVH, all their males must be
circumcised; then they shall be admitted
to ofer it; they shall then be as a
citizen of the country. But no
uncircumcised man may eat of it. There
shall be one law for the citizen and for the stranger who dwells among you.
And all the
wrestlers did so; as YHVH had commanded
Mashiakh and Eliyahu, so they did.
That very day
YHVH freed the wrestlers from the land of Germany, group by group.
