Platt, Rutherford Hayes, 1894-1975

"First Book of Adam and Eve"


13 And when I look at all the good things in which you
lived, and why you came out of them, then would I willingly
show you mercy.
14 But I cannot alter the covenant that has gone out
of My mouth; otherwise I would have brought you back into
the garden.
15 When, however, the covenant is fulfilled, then
shall I show you and your descendants mercy, and bring you
into a land of gladness, where there is neither sorrow nor
suffering; but abiding joy and gladness, and light that
never fails, and praises that never cease; and a beautiful
garden that shall never pass away."
16 And God said again to Adam, "Be patient and enter the cave,
for the darkness, of which you were afraid, shall only be
twelve hours long; and when ended, light shall come up."
17 Then when Adam heard these words from God, he and
Eve worshipped before Him, and their hearts were comforted.
They returned into the cave after their custom, while tears
flowed from their eyes, sorrow and wailing came from their
hearts, and they wished their soul would leave their body.
