The third
prophecy of the coming of Christ.
1 Then came the Word of God to Adam, and said to him:--
2 "O Adam, as to what you said, 'Bring me into a land
where there is rest,' it is not another land than this, but
it is the kingdom of heaven where alone there is rest.
3 But you can not make your entrance into it at
present; but only after your judgment is past and
fulfilled.
4 Then will I make you go up into the kingdom of
heaven, you and your righteous descendants; and I will give
you and them the rest you ask for at present.
5 And if you said, 'Give me of the Water of Life that
I may drink and live' -- it cannot be this day, but on the
day that I shall descend into hell, and break the gates of
brass, and bruise in pieces the kingdoms of iron.
6 Then will I in mercy save your soul and the souls of
the righteous, to give them rest in My garden. And that
shall be when the end of the world is come.
7 And, again, in regards to the Water of Life you
seek, it will not be granted you this day; but on the day
that I shall shed My blood on your head* in the land of
Golgotha**.
