27:8 Wherefore, because of the things which are sealed up, the things
which are sealed shall not be delivered in the day of the wickedness
and abominations of the people. Wherefore the book shall be kept from
them.
27:9 But the book shall be delivered unto a man, and he shall deliver
the words of the book, which are the words of those who have slumbered
in the dust, and he shall deliver these words unto another;
27:10 But the words which are sealed he shall not deliver, neither
shall he deliver the book. For the book shall be sealed by the power of
God, and the revelation which was sealed shall be kept in the book
until the own due time of the Lord, that they may come forth; for
behold, they reveal all things from the foundation of the world unto
the end thereof.
27:11 And the day cometh that the words of the book which were sealed
shall be read upon the house tops; and they shall be read by the power
of Christ; and all things shall be revealed unto the children of men
which ever have been among the children of men, and which ever will be
even unto the end of the earth.
27:12 Wherefore, at that day when the book shall be delivered unto the
man of whom I have spoken, the book shall be hid from the eyes of the
world, that the eyes of none shall behold it save it be that three
witnesses shall behold it, by the power of God, besides him to whom the
book shall be delivered; and they shall testify to the truth of the
book and the things therein.
27:13 And there is none other which shall view it, save it be a few
according to the will of God, to bear testimony of his word unto the
children of men; for the Lord God hath said that the words of the
faithful should speak as if it were from the dead.
27:14 Wherefore, the Lord God will proceed to bring forth the words of
the book; and in the mouth of as many witnesses as seemeth him good
will he establish his word; and wo be unto him that rejecteth the word
of God!
27:15 But behold, it shall come to pass that the Lord God shall say
unto him to whom he shall deliver the book: Take these words which are
not sealed and deliver them to another, that he may show them unto the
learned, saying: Read this, I pray thee. And the learned shall say:
Bring hither the book, and I will read them.
27:16 And now, because of the glory of the world and to get gain will
they say this, and not for the glory of God.
27:17 And the man shall say: I cannot bring the book, for it is sealed.
27:18 Then shall the learned say: I cannot read it.
27:19 Wherefore it shall come to pass, that the Lord God will deliver
again the book and the words thereof to him that is not learned; and
the man that is not learned shall say: I am not learned.
27:20 Then shall the Lord God say unto him: The learned shall not read
them, for they have rejected them, and I am able to do mine own work;
wherefore thou shalt read the words which I shall give unto thee.
