The Prophecies of Hadar and Melech
This is a section taken from the Book of the Two Pearls and I have revised the text and treat it as a separate work. According to the text the actual title is the Words of Melech and Hadar is apparently a secondary prophet who only affirms the words of Melech. I have dated the text roughly to about 200 BC - 150 BC but it appears to contain Christian elements which were probably added after AD 100 (roughly between AD 100 - AD 350 and to the latest around AD 800).
1 Proven writings to ensure faith and to encourage spiritual revolt against widespread evil (or, "evil in every place"). Thus being affirmed, Lo, Hadar of wisdom and spirit, heed.
2 Thus says Melech, the righteous and wise. I look upon the land and see beauty but horror prevails and I ask 'Why?’ The answer will come soon. Amen.
3 In the 219th year after Israel broke away from Ephraim, we ascended upon the Mount of Egypt.
(The dividing took place about 931 BC and the 219th year would be 712 BC.)
4 Yes, all you members of time being, I say, Turn back. Change your ways from evil. Knowing that the percentage of you are vast and ruling to [original MS probably read "in"] ignorance and deceit and corruption that will assure obedience of us pure, honest, genuine and worthy dwellers of the law.
5 On the contrary, you evil rulers and congregations (i.e. assemblies) of evil works [and unbelievers]* shall only manifest yourselves * for only a season. Hallelujah. The meek shall inherit the earth [This may be a later Christian addition].
* The words in brackets were obviously rearranged in the text that was sent to me.
6 Your battle will disperse of (or, "spread over") the wicked, diseased, the unrighteous and those who forsake as well the righteous. Why do you ask ‘forsaken’? Because these so-called righteous ones that assemble are temples of hypocrisy and have become infected, so I have warned against.
7 These so-called righteous ones that forsake the truth that I have condemned to death shall not be eternal death. Look, the day of judgment would categorize (or, "place them in") their dwelling in ever life. Understand. If you shall be a participant of this generation, in reference to your death, it shall not be of waste and condemnation but of gratitude and of holy cleansing.
8 Look. You have been a part, a spiritual vessel, of God’s prophecy. Praise God. Amen.
9 All you kingdoms and dwellers of wealth and power are but heavy-ladened with defeat. The plagues descending upon earth and time will creep into your boundaries as well. Look. You shall surely beg for forgiveness. I am a jealous and angry God but I am a forgiving God. Amen. Holy, holy, holy.
10 All you that abide in man’s law, you will surely be defeated into peasantry and other ordered works by the evil powers that heed to evil. Cast your ears upon the horizon (or, "the east") for the thunder and the trumpets wail (destruction and war). I am meaning to not cast stones (or, "lay burdens") upon the hand that feeds you, however, rebel, rebel, rebel against the branding (or, "the setting apart for iniquity"). Amen.
11 Thus says Melech, according to God’s word. I looked upon the land from the Mount of Egypt. The world is fading quickly. God will judge you.
12 Why do the rich vex the poor? Is it because the poor attract jealousy from them? God says, Damn the rulers who take to trial my own poor. They shall enter eternal torment [original text may have read "punishment"] along with their god. Listen. The swarm is coming from the pit to sting those who oppress us [This seems to be a reference to the locusts of Amos and Revelation]. Hallelujah.
13 Now I see the truth. The fields are ripening quickly. O God, this is harvest time. But hurry for they may not endure until you come.
14 This is the sign of the time. New pestilence and deformed (or, "unnatural") plagues are at the threshold (or, "door") of your existence. God said, Man’s flesh will waste away in pestilence. Hold fast even though these come upon you. Rejoice. For God will intervene to save his poor from this scourge.
15 From this mount, I see peace on the earth but from the heavens (or, "skies") will come war, the final confrontation, not between boundaries of races but of wealth and not.
16 I see their houses from here and I wonder if peace exists within their dwellings for we know not. Peace is here but there, 'nay or yea’?
17 I know that out of a thousand houses there probably is not one that is righteous. I see their prosperity but do they prosper with God? No.
18 [But remember God will forgive for they know not what they do]*. Where has wisdom gone?
* The words in brackets may be a Christian addition.
19 This ends the words of Melech. Amen.
