- Now the LORD had shown unto me, Abraham, the intelligences that were
- organized before the world was; and among all these were many noble
- and great ones;
- And God saw these souls that they were good, and he
- stood in the midst of them, and he said: These I will make my rulers;
- for he stood among those that were spirits, and he saw that they were
- good; and he said unto me: Abraham, thou art one of them; thou wast
- chosen before thou wast born.
-
- Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare,
- if thou hast understanding.
- Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or
- who laid the corner stone thereof;
- When the Morning Stars sang together, and all the Sons of God shouted
- for joy?
-
- Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was:
- and the spirit shall return unto the God who gave it.
-
- Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
- Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and be-
- fore thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee,
- and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
-
- In hope of eternal life, which God that cannot lie, prom-
- ised before the world began.
-
- Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and
- we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto
- the Father of Spirits, and live?
-
- The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way, be-
- fore his works of old.
- I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or
- ever the earth was.
- When there were no depths, I was brought forth, when
- there were no fountains abounding with water.
- Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was
- I brought forth.
- While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields,
- nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
- When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he
- set a compass upon the face of the depth:
- When he established the clouds above: when he
- strengthened the fountains of the deep:
- When he gave the sea his decree, that the waters
- should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the
- foundations of the earth:
- Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily
- his delight, rejoicing always before him;
- Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my
- delights were with the Sons of Men.
-
- Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting;
- The soul that rises with us, our life's star
- Hath had elsewhere its setting
- And commeth from afar;
- Not in entire forgetfulness,
- And not in utter nakedness,
- But trailing clouds of glory do we come
- From God, who is our home.
-
-
- If I have told you earthly things,
- and ye believe not, how shall ye
- believe, if I tell you heavenly
- things ?
- And no man hath ascended up
- to heaven, but he that came down
- from heaven, even the Son of man
- which is in heaven.
