Lord have suffered so will I put all Enemies under my
feet, for I the Lord utter my word, and it shall be obeyed
and the day of wrath and indignation shall come upon the
wicked. And I say again wo unto that Nation or House
or people, who seek to hinder my People from obeying the Patriarchal Law of Abraham which leadeth to a Celestial

shall this Nation and the Nations of the Earth be made
to feel the Chastning hand of an Almighty God untill
