40 Before these days shall come our Father-God will send his messengers abroad, yea, to the corners of the earth, and they will say,
41 Prepare you, O prepare; the Prince of Peace shall come, and now is coming on the clouds of heaven.
42 When Jesus had thus said, he went with his disciples back to Bethany.
CHAPTER 158.
Jesus and the twelve at prayer in Olivet. Jesus reveals to his disciples the deeper meanings of secret doctrines. He tells them what to teach the people. Relates a number of parables. They return to Bethany.
The morning of the Wednesday of the week was come, and Jesus with the twelve went out to Olivet to pray; and they were lost in prayer for seven hours.
2 Then Jesus called the twelve close to his side and said, This day the curtain parts and we will step beyond the veil into the secret courts of God.
3 And Jesus opened up to them the meaning of the hidden way, and of the Holy Breath, and of the light that cannot fail.
4 He told them all about the Book of Life, the Rolls of Graphael, the Book of God’s Remembrance where all the thoughts and words of men are written down.
5 He did not speak aloud to them; he told the secrets of the masters in an undertone, and when he spoke the name of God there was a silence in the courts of heaven for half an hour, for angels spoke with bated breath.
