2. Behold I saw the heaven draped in black, and I saw Angel Douglas sitting in a mourning robe, moreover the celestial saints of Ethiopia were in deep sorrow.
3. And it came to pass that I continued to look, and behold I saw a natural man standing before Angel Douglas, and after a brief conversation, the mighty Angel conveyed him to the throne of Elijah, God of heaven and earth.
4. Then upon the head of the natural man did Elijah place a crown and on the front part of the crown there was a brilliant star whose light extended from heaven to the earth.
5. Now when the crown was bestowed upon him, behold the mourning apparel disappeared and there was joy in heaven.
6. And it came to pass that I saw a great host of Negroes marching upon the earth and there was a light upon them, then I looked towards the heaven and behold I saw the natural man standing in the east and the star of his crown gave light to the pathway of the children of Ethiopia.
CHAPTER 4.
APOSTLES EXALTED.
1. The following morning after Athlyi’s vision, Athlyi looked towards the rising sun and cried out saying, my God, my God, what shall happen to the apostles of the Twentieth Century? Father if it’s me, even I that shall pass from the presence of men grant that the Piby live forever that the children of Ethiopia, through the teaching of the Afro Athlican Constructive Church, may obtain salvation forever.
2. And it came to pass that the Lord spake to Athlyi, saying:
3. In the flesh did he go to prepare a foundation for the generations of Ethiopia, but in the spirit will he return to lead them there upon.
4. For I, the Lord God, hath exalted him in the spirit, Prince over the children of Ethiopia; he shall see with all-seeing eyes; in vain shall the nations of the world lay traps before mine anointed, for the Prince of the children shall lead them.
