The Book of Commandments
The Book of Commandments Section 42 - The Elders
1The Holy Word of God is contained within the body of Jesus Christ; even He who is Alpha and Omega, Lord of Hosts and the author and finisher of your faith.
2Within this body exists every man, woman and child who has been, is and is yet to come into this world.
3A body cannot exist peacefully without all its members functioning in working order, respective to their given roles. Within any body there must be order, harmony and function. Without these, the body suffers.
4Thus saith the Lord; the body is ill. It has been in suffering this long time and has not healed. The members are weak. They have been caught in rot and decay and have given way to infection and issue.
5The young ones have been led astray by the rotting corpses of the elderly men and women who have have come before them, and have been tricked into rot themselves. For I the Lord have brought new life unto you all time and time again; even a new and everlasting covenant which you have trodden asunder and blasphemed my holy name.
6Thus saith the Lord; The elders shall now be culled. No longer shall my dear children walk in darkness being led by the old and blind guides who drag them and their youth down to hell.
7Thus saith the Lord; a time of great cleansing is at hand. For no longer shall my dear children fall prey to the ancient and evil schemes of the Masons. For it is the builders of the temple, which I had forbidden, who now strive to trick and deceive men into committing abominations and great works of darkness upon the earth.
8Thus saith the Lord of hosts, even He who sits on high above the cherubim and seraphim, the elders shall now be culled. They shall fall into the pit they have digged for the youth who have placed their trust in them; the young ones who I commanded that no man shall offend.
9These great and treacherous abominations of secret acts, secret plans and secret societies shall be wiped from the face of the earth and shall no more trap and ensnare men in their wicked ways.
10I the Lord have declared it by the mouth of my prophet, and it shall come to pass that the elders who have led my sheep astray; even all of them shall be culled and judged at the bar of their God. For wicked are the ways of the man who hunts for souls and not for the redemption of men, but the subjection.
11Mine anger is kindled and my hand shall not be stayed until the elders are gathered and judged, set in the scales and tried for their great and horrible crimes. Yea, the elders shall be culled and the world shall heal. The youth shall breathe and my kingdom shall roll forth unto the four corners of the ends of the earth.
12Take peace, my dear children for I have heard your prayers and I shall avenge mine enemies. The wicked ways of the elders shall now cease. I the Lord have spoken it and it shall come to pass. Even so, Amen.
