And whereas ye have heard concerning the seventy weeks, hear also concerning the priesthood.  For in each jubilee there shall be a priesthood.  And in the first jubilee, the first who is anointed to the priesthood shall be great, and shall speak to God as to a Father.  And his priesthood shall be perfect with the Lord, and in the day of his gladness shall arise for the salvation of the world.  In the second jubilee, he that is anointed shall be conceived in the sorrow of beloved ones; and his priesthood shall be honored and shall be glorified by all.  And the third priest shall be taken hold of by sorrow.  And the fourth shall be in pain, because of unrighteousness shall gather itself against him exceedingly, and all Israel shall hate each one of his neighbor.  The fifth shall be taken hold of by darkness, likewise also the sixth and the seventh.  And in the seventh shall such pollution as I cannot express before men, for they shall know it who do these things.  Therefore shall they be taken captive and become a prey, and their land and their substance shall be destroyed.  And in the fifth week they shall return to their desolate country, and shall renew the house of the Lord.  And in the seventh week shall become priests, who are idolaters, adulterers, lovers of money, proud, lawless, lascivious, abusers of children and beasts.  And after their punishment shall have come from the Lord, the priesthood shall fail.  Then shall the Lord raise up a new priest.  And to him all the words of the Lord shall be revealed; and he shall execute a righteous judgment upon the earth for a multitude of days.  And his star shall arise in the heavens as a King.  Lighting up the light of knowledge as the sun the day, and he shall be magnified in the world. And he shall shine forth as the sun on earth, and shall remove all darkness from under heaven, and there shall be peace in all the earth.  The heavens shall exalt in his days, and the earth shall be glad, and the clouds shall rejoice;  And the knowledge of the Lord shall be poured forth over upon the earth, as the waters of the seas.  And the angels of the glory of the presence of the Lord shall be glad in him.  The heavens shall be opened, and from the temple of glory shall come upon him sanctification, with the Father�s voice as from Abraham to Isaac.  And the glory of the Most High shall be uttered over him, and the spirit of understanding and sanctification shall rest upon him in the water.  For he shall give the majesty of the Lord to His sons in truth forevermore.  And there shall none succeed him for all the generations forever.  And in His priesthood the Gentiles shall be multiplied in knowledge upon the face of the earth, and enlightened through the grace of the Lord.  In his priesthood shall sin come to an end, and the lawless shall cease to do evil.  And He shall open the gates of paradise, and shall remove the threatening sword against Adam, and shall he give to the saints to eat from the tree of life, and the spirit of holiness shall be upon them.
  And lo!  My children I have shown unto you the last times, how everything shall come to pass in Israel.  For I know that ye shall sin, and be delivered into the hands of your enemies; and your land shall be made desolate, and your holy places destroyed, and ye shall be scattered unto the four corners of the earth.  And ye shall be set nought in the dispersion vanishing away as water.  Until the Most High shall visit the earth coming Himself as man with men eating and drinking, and breaking the head of the dragon in the water.  He shall save Israel and all the Gentiles, God speaking in the person of a man.  Until the Most High shall send forth His salvation in the visitation of an only begoton prophet.  And He shall enter into the first temple, and there shall the Lord be outrage, and He shall be lifted up upon a tree.  And the veil of the temple shall be rent, and the Spirit of God shall pass on  to the Gentiles as fire poured forth.  And the Lord shall judge Israel first, for their unrighteousness; for when He appeared as God in the flesh to deliver them they believed him not.  And then shall he judge all the gentiles, as many as believed Him not when He appeared upon the earth.  And He shall convict Israel through the chosen ones of the gentiles.  And there shall arise in the latter days one beloved of the Lord, of the tribe of Judah and Levi, a doer of His good pleasure in his mouth, with new knowledge enlightening the Gentiles.  Until the consumation of the age shall he be in the synagogues of the gentiles, and among their rulers, as a strain of music in the mouth of all.   And through them he shall go to and fro as Jacob my father, saying; He shall fill up that which lacketh of thy tribe.
