had just finished his regular night prayer. He lay down on the stones as he used to, to sleep, but he could not sleep. The time passed,
midnight arrived, and with his eyes still open, he observed the vast sky. with the stars and the moon where it was thus a monk thought of the terrible hour
of judgment he reflected on his sins and began to weep suddenly he sees the firmament of the sky being drawn like a curtain and
appearing from behind the lord jesus christ was a giant and standing meteor in the ether around him were arrayed all the heavenly orders
angels archangels who looked at him in fear and terror with respect and harm much the
lord beckoned to the leader of an order and he came to him full of
splendor and horror Michael lord of the covenant said to him
rise with the order to you the throne of my glory and go to the valley of Jehoshaphat there set it up so that it will be ready in my presence
yes because the time of judgment will not be late so everyone will receive the
recompense for their works make haste the day is near those who
bowed down to idols and denied me their forge will pay those who called the stones gods and the wood he gave them for their needs all these will be
crushed like a potter's vessel as well as my enemies the
heretics dared to separate me from my father those who dared to
demote the implored spirit to a building, woe to them, what hell
awaits them, I will now appear to the Jews who did not believe and crucified me when I was on the cross, they said, oh the destroyer of the temples, save
him now I will tear my authority and i will judge righteously i
will not avenge i will repay i will judge i will control i will stigmatize and punish severely the perverted and wicked generation because i gave them opportunities to repent and they did not
use them now i will take revenge also on the sodomites who polluted
the air and the earth with filth I who burned them will make them again,
because they were apostates of the holy spirit and loved the pleasure of the devil, now they will
also pay for their unwise and Scottish wife, but as the
filman said, each one of his neighbor's wife has
died, so for their foolishness they went in the abyss of fire bound
by Satan they did not hear that they are terrible in the hand of the living God
and yet they did not fear because of it and I will now rebuke them I offered them
repentance and they did not repent I will punish thieves and murderers and all evildoers in tartar I will throw them now I will show them how
damaged they were for not obeying God and his commandments which are
their good works which are their treasure I gave them as an example the prodigal son
but also many others so that they do not fall into despair contempt of my commandments they hated me and loved fornication they
renounced me and sin they were enslaved therefore into the fire which they themselves kindled
he who died island of evil I will deliver them into a terrible turmoil because they did not
love my peace but lived in wrath anger and wickedness he will also destroy the profiteers the usurers and the covetous
those heathens who put their hope in gold and forsook me as if I did not care for them I will also condemn those
Christians who say there is no resurrection of the dead or that there is
reincarnation all of them will I will melt them like wax in heaven and I will make them
ashes in the fire then I will show them whether or not there is a resurrection of the dead
magicians and diviners and astrologers will be completely crushed I will be blown away and
drunkards and drunkards will perish wherever they are thrown in the abyss of their woe
where they sing and dance and astrologers undressed and worn out with their equal play fair and one day I will judge them I called them and not only
did they not listen to me but they even laughed at me to everyone I offered mercy and repentance but no one paid attention to me now the worm will
eat the heart of those who despised the divine scriptures written by my spirit with the hands of my saints I will cast them into
darkness and darkness and because they did not keep my commandments but they mocked, I will now mock them, defeat them, and deliver them
to the fire, and those who resort to witchcraft and magic for healing,
those who think that knives and pickaxes and
sickles and other magical tools will do them good I will control them strictly and then they will learn that they should have hoped in God and not in his creations, of course they will
react, they will complain and find excuses but they will not be able to achieve anything because the time for retribution will come,
of course I will punish the kings too and the rulers who are constantly
swallowing the injustices their decisions were lawless and unjust and arrogant and exhausting for the people
they took gifts and judged biasedly using the law to cover the injustice but my own judgment does not depend on gifts like lord
and god so they will destroy them according to their wickedness and then they will understand that I am the terrible one and take away the spirits
of the lords terrible pa of the kingdom of the earth their calamity hell
awaits them because I have sprinkled them with this tooth and blood of innocents blood
of their sons and daughters in what wrath I will also deliver those clergymen who
were not true shepherds but hirelings those who tended my vineyard
who scattered my sheep who chased the gold and silver who unworthily received the priesthood how terrible will be their punishment how many their suffering
in my wrath and in my anger I stir up those perishable sheep and oxen
they looked to acquire but my rational sheep did not hurt them therefore
I visit with a rod their iniquities and in the scourge of their iniquities as for
the priests who see or quarrel in the holy places my churches in the fire
I will melt them in the tartar I will drown them and like a multitude I will crush them
I am the coming one I came and I am coming again and whoever finds the strength let
him stand before me woe to the lawless who will fall into my hands
for they will stand before me naked and how rough will their way be then, how
will they face my face, that they will hide their turn after it is canceled, my angels, but I will also condemn the monks who lived negligently
and thus did not keep the promises they made before God, the angels and the people but they commanded and did other things so he will
seize them and unite them in the abyss because their own loss was not enough for them but scandalized and glue and others it would have been better for them not to
have renounced the world than to have renounced it and lived sinfully and
therefore I will punish I will repay I will judge as a just judge those who
did not want to repent with terror the innumerable forces of the angels heard the thundering words of the Lord to the
commander in chief Michael bring me the seven centuries of the foundation of the world
now command the archangel the michael immediately went to the victor of the covenant and took them
they were like big books he put them in front of the master and stood aside
watching in awe as he turned the pages of history and read everything that happened through the centuries so the judge took the book
of the first century the he opened and said here first first it is written the father the
son and the holy spirit one god in three persons from the father the
son was born the creator of the ages for by the word of the father the ages were made by the word of the father the heavenly powers were created and by the word of the
father was established the heavens and the earth and all that is in them the spirit and
of his mouth all the power of them then he went a little further down in the
book and said here he writes an image of the vision of god is the first man
adam and the woman his grace to Adam was given by the omnipotent God the creator of all things invisible and visible a blessed earth a
law the observance of this law will be the security of man's blessed life because it will always remind him that there is God above him the gaze
he went further here he writes about the transgression committed by the image of god man was deceived and fell or rather fell through his own negligence and
was therefore expelled from heaven by the just judgment and decision of god because as a vile transgressor he should not have lived amid so many goods he advanced again
a little the kan said he did the devil's will and killed ven
tha taka all in the fire of one because abel remained unrepentant but he will
live eternally and below read form of the blessing the sth image of sanctification the
one and prototype of my ascension the ascension of Enoch
thus turning one page at a time he came to the end of the book and said his book that century here have been written life and death justice and iniquity the
humiliation and pride of the people born in his years each of them will be judged according to with his works in the same way he leafed through the books of the
next five centuries then he took the last one in his hands and said the beginning of the
th century the end of the centuries and the beginning of the wickedness of avarice and
mercilessness men are becoming more wicked now than ever envious
liars hypocrites ambitious covetous and enslaved to all evils he went
a little further in the book he read something and then he raised his eyes up he struck his forehead with his hand he covered his eyes with his palm and
stood still like that for a long time suddenly as if he
really came to his senses he soliloquized this century surpassed in injustice and wickedness the previous six he looked again down in the book and said the heathen and
their idols were broken with my cross and he was crushed with the nail and the nails that you drove into my living body he was silent a little and then he bent down again in the
book 12 lords of the great king said white as light they stirred the
sea they subdued beasts they drowned dragons they gave light to the blind they fed the
hungry they were not rich and above all they fished and regenerated many
people their wages increased below read I the dear one
also chose witnesses for me their friendship ascended to heaven their love reached my throne their desire entered my heart their love
burns me my glory and my strength is with them turned then many genders
and smiled the man who reverently held the helm of the seven-hilled and
took her kingdom, became the servant of my love and became my zealot and imitator, for this the kingdom of heaven belongs to him, then he passed other races
in haste, but on a page he stood and called my nymph, fair and
precious, how many have tried to take you they humiliate you and to Thomas, but you
did not betray me your only past, a thousand heresies fell on you but
the stone on which it was founded does not shake, why don't you go to hell and confiscate
them moving on to the next pages the master said here are written all the
words of men and the the good and the bad that death prevented from being
erased by repentance below were written and all their other sins,
many innumerable like her amo asa, the master read every now and then shaking
his head and sighing heavily while the multitude of angels he stood ecstatic
and terrified by that terrible reading, he had already reached the middle of the
century when he uttered a voice indignant, enough is enough, this
last book is full of the stench of sins, what lies, what vices, what
enemies, what a stench and impurity, that's enough, I'll cut it to the means to abolish
sin once and for all immediately he gave the signal for the judgment to the commander-in-chief Michael who was present he approached with his regiment a regiment so numerous that
not even the earth could contain it they lifted the indescribable throne of the lord and
departed as they left they chanted holy holy lord awesome great
high admirable and glorified for ever and ever, then departed the
commander-in-chief Gabriel with his own regiment, melodiously singing the epinician hymns,
holy, holy, holy, lord of hosts, the earth is full of his glory, and from that
awesome myrios tomi, angelic hymn, heaven and earth third
the commander-in-chief Raphael was dismissed with his own battalion, singing to the
holy Lord Jesus Christ, to the glory of God the Father, amen, at last the fourth division departed, its leader, Uriel, was as white as
snow, the seductive Lofoten, on his departure, sang, and
he was excited, he shouted and called the earth from from sunrise to sunset,
for the dignity of his beauty, the god is clearly our god, and the silence
of the fire before him sit down and his circle against the earth fiercely and the
remaining verses of the psalm, the officials again cried out,
God has judged the earth, that you are an inheritance in all the
nations, blessed is he who is coming, that he is coming to judge the earth and the world in
truth and justice, then they brought before the master his glorified
cross that shone like lightning and smelled unspeakably they held him in great reverence and honor two ranks the powers and the
powers the matter was terrible shocking as they slowly advanced the powers sang exalt to my god my king and bless your name
forever and ever century and the powers
antiphonary before the footstool of his feet that the saint is then given
to the earth and the commander-in-chief Michael came again immediately he appeared before the master together with another angel who held something like
a bow which was white to pink and in the at the beginning of it hung a large trumpet, that
trumpet was covered on the outside with fluff and on the inside covered with something like ashes, on its outer surface it was written resurrection of the dead and
in the inner life of the devoutly and burning a gentleman in his hands he blew the trumpet
three times and said three secrets reasons then he gave it to the archangel Michael and said to him take this trumpet and go to Golgotha where
I stretched out on the cross my happy hands there let him blow the trumpet three times and wait
then I called another battalion the authorities and he says to their leader take the
holy your order and spread throughout the world raise up on clouds the saints from the east and the west the north and the south and bring them to
meet me as soon as the trumpet sounds with another angel command that
heaven and earth be transformed from corruption to incorruption and the sun and the moon become dark and
the stars fall and the rivers dry up and the
seas die everything
the righteous judge cast after looking at the earth and carefully observed mist and darkness everywhere lamentation and wailing of many human voices and groaning from the heavy
tyranny of satan freezes and the dragon destroys
everything, treading on them like grass as he saw the angels of God preparing the eternal fire for him, seeing all this evil, Jesus
calls a fiery angel, he had a stern look, a hard look and a merciless expression,
he was the leader of of angels who oversee the fire of hell and
says to him go and take my rod that crushes and binds and take a myriad of
angels from your order the most able and eloquent those who are appointed to impose the punishments you will go to the imaginary sea you will find art
of the dragon you will seize him with authority and beat him with the rod if he becomes fat until he surrenders to you the tot of
his spirits and then they will be
tightly bound and severely tortured when the angelic order left to arrest the
lord of darkness divine command was given to the archangel who held the trumpet to sound the trumpet of perfect health everywhere as if everything were dead the
first trumpet was sounded and the bodies of the dead were restored a second trumpet was sounded and as if the spirit of the lord from his trumpet put every soul
into the dead body again awe and fear seized every existence
terror and horrors were spread in the heavens and on the earth, and a third trumpet blast was heard, more
terrible ,
which shook the worlds
. towards the throne of preparation chanting aloud holy holy holy lord of hosts the earth was full of fear and
terror all the people and the innumerable angelic ranks stood and tita if
on high waiting with phrygia for the terrible divine power to descend on earth suddenly but
thunder and lightnings tore the air while a terrible earthquake shook the court of judgment, all were bewildered and began to tremble, the firmament of the
sky was drawn back like a curtain and behind it appeared the honest cross,
shining like the sun and scattering divine glitters, it was held by the holy
angels, opening the way for our lord jesus christ the judge of the
world, in a little while the unheard-of praise was heard as if the
this hymn was the judge on the clouds sitting on a throne high and
fiery and with his super-bright eyes he suddenly descends from the crowd of
resurrected ones some began to climb into the ether on the clouds to
meet their lord but alas most remained below
dinosaurs that did not deserve to be seized and they fell drugged their souls from the fat and fell
on their knees before the master but rose again without effect around
the throne of preparation where the great judge was seated all the heavenly powers lined up with fear and terror on his right stood all those who
had been caught up from the clouds the slaves were led to his left
and they were Jewish lords high priests priests kings and a great number of
monks and laity stood before themselves ashamed of talent
and thrones painted bright blue
the heavy catechins
was spread out among them all he sighed deeply, others groaned with
heartbreak, others wailed, shedding a river of tears, and others had sunk into a
hopeless deathly silence, there was no consolation, no hope,
on the contrary, those who stood on the right hand of the judge were all fierce and bright as the sun, all modest, glorified and bright as the light, all flaming as if
from a divine phrase they really shine, if
one dare not say it like their lord and god present, the terrible
judge cast his gaze and on the other side to the right looked with
satisfaction and a sweet smile blossomed at his side he then turned and to those who were on the left he immediately became agitated and hurriedly took his gaze
from above them loud and commanding now his voice was heard saying to them behold the blessed of my father you have inherited the dishonored
kingdom of us from the payment of the world with I am hungry, for here too, do not eat or drink,
a stranger, do not bring me in naked and surround me with you and watch over
me in prison and you came to me. Then they asked him with a question,
sir, when did we see you hungry and did we eat or were we thirsty? for we have never seen you
as a stranger, and he brings you naked, and they are thrown into your idol, sick or in prison
, and they came to you, and he answered them, Amen, I say, since I have done this
to the least of my brothers, and then he turned angrily
to the others on his left. and he said to them with severity and abhorrence, depart from me you who are accursed into eternal fire, prepare it for the devil and
his angel, they were hungry and did not give me anything to eat, I was thirsty, and you did not bring me in as
a stranger, and do not bring me in naked, and do not surround me with the sick and in
prison and they asked him,
sir, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or sick in prison and in the court, yes,
yes, yes, yes, I say we, since you did not do this
to the least of the least, nor did you do anything to me.
the gnashing of teeth where you will be tyrannized will mourn eternally as soon as the judge announced his great decision there
suddenly poured out from the east a huge river of fire rushing towards the west it was as wide as the sea as sinners on the
left saw it rippled and creaked from the terror immediately the judge ordered to pass through this river all those righteous and sinners to be
tested by fire first those who stood on the right entered they all passed and
were tested and came out as pure gold through the flames their works not only did not burn but they were shown brighter and purer by
this trial with indescribable joy the righteous saw that no filth was found in their good works then followed those who
stood on the left to be tried our own works too if their flames passed through the fire they burned because they were sinners and
he trapped them in the middle of the river their works were burned and they saved straw but
their bodies were left to burn with the devil and the demons none of them managed to get out of that fiery river as
worthy of condemnation and punishment ahmat her all from the fire since the sinners were thrown into hell and thrown from the flames to the various places of
of punishments, the terrible judge rose from his throne and moved for his heavenly nymph, all his saints followed him and
the heavenly powers surrounded him with fear and terror, chanting, therefore, our lords are the gate, and he was taken eternally, and I enter, O
Lord of glory, and god together with his saints and grants them the eternal
crown to them and other wonderful songs the holy angels sang causing inexpressible joy to those who heard them singing thus
they entered with the master and his saints the heavenly chambers of the divine nymph skertz from joy and bystanders
closed then Jesus called the leaders of the archangels, Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel were introduced and then the
others then the 12 luminaries of the world the holy apostles were called the master gave them
paper glory brilliant gave them 12 firecrackers
made them sit near to him their teacher with many honors
their glory was a light eternal indescribable and apr the neighbors were gold yellow and
shining though precious and even the archangels looked at them with admiration finally Christ gave them and 12 crystal crowns adorned with
precious stones which glittered blindingly as glorious angels bore them above their heads then they brought before the heavenly king his
70 disciples and apostles and they were given similar honors and glories
only that their crowns were less brilliant than the others on d 12 then presented the holy martyrs a whole army to them was given the office and
position of the great angelic order that had fallen from heaven with Lucifer immediately brought them innumerable crowns that shone
like the sun and they adorned their sanctified heads with these and they divinely
rejoiced and an unspeakable embrace was followed by a holy passage of the holy
hierarchs, priests and deacons, he was crowned with eternal and amaranth wreaths but
different in brightness and glory, each according to his work, his zeal, his
patience and his love, so you saw many priests being more glorious than high priests but and many deacons to be more brilliant than priests and
high priests, but the faces of all of them shone with grace, cheerfulness and
joy, even the mental heavenly altar was granted to them so
that they could offer them eternally the perfect and pleasing sacrifice to God, now
it was their turn of the reverent monks from their ossuary room starting a spiritual fragrance and their glorified faces shone like the sun spreading
theophron on each of six wings and thus with the power of the holy spirit they all became like the horrible cherubs and seraphim then began to chant loudly
holy holy holy Lord Sabaoth complete all the earth of his glory their glory
was three greatest and the suppression their wreaths according to the struggles and sweats of each one behind the holy monks entered the dance of the holy
prophets they were given the song of the hymns the psalm of david with
drums and with dances the light of lightning beyond and the praise of the holy spirit his own crowns were
all gold and suddenly the lord of the divine nymph asked them to sing something and they praised him with a song so beautiful that he squealed with joy all
the assembled saints, after they had all received their gifts from the timeless hand of the
savior, were still waiting for those goods, which no eye has seen and which has not heard and
which has not entered the heart of man, but then entered the dance of the people who were saved in the world poor and rich rulers and subjects slaves
and free all stood before the divine bridegroom the master first he
singled out those who were merciful and bestowed upon them the bounty of the paradise of eden heavenly palaces and bright crowns precious sanctification euphoric
thrones and scepters and angels bright to they serve them followed by those who became for Christ poor in spirit they were now exalted
exceedingly they received from the hand of the lord beautiful crowns and inherited the
kingdom of heaven then came the mourners those who wept for
their sins with fervent repentance and were given great consolation of the holy triad and the pander pno joy of paradise to now and the price and
poor who have inherited the land of promise where the spirit of God is distilled and its fragrance how much delight and exultation I saw
how they won bliss and how their souls leaped with pleasure when the master adorned them with wreaths of roses elaborate wings after them came those
who hungered and thirsted for justice were given the wages of justice rich to be satisfied and with their good will euphranorus
is praised and honored and glorified by the holy angels his own crowns were brilliant those fashioned with much art
then stand out even from the lord the pure heart like them he gave powerful secret eyes and spiritual vision stronger than the light to
see the face of god clearly for the ages of the ages he also gave them peculiar crowns that behind and in front had crystal crosses while on the right
and left painted cherubic eyes then they gathered in a group
the peacemakers were given the peace and wisdom of the spirit of god and
prosperity and mercy and illumination from the light of christ an invisible hand holding a heavenly pen approached them and wrote on their foreheads
jesus christ son of his god at the end of their lives they were also given crowns with wings that had the names of the father and the son and the
holy spirit written on them. Then they came and were persecuted because of
righteousness
. from the divine retinue of gold whose brightness made the dances of the angels rejoice followed by those who endured
reviling and persecution and calumny for Christ's sake they received the holy blessing of God and the praise of his angels and more honor and
glory were bestowed upon them and thrones
in various ways to the Lord those who on the one hand repented of their sins
but on the other hand did not lead a consistent spiritual life with prayers and fasting and with what else our church prescribes unlearn their works but did not work
diligently and precisely for the goods and you were spared the bridegroom told them the bridegroom said to them and gave them only a stick as a sign that
they would not die so as not to be thrown into the fire but to be placed in a place that leaves
neither bright nor gloomy behind them came others who had done many benevolences and innumerable mercies but because they fell either to the censure and reproach
of their fellow men or to fleshly sins, they also fell into the lower darkness with the mist and dampness, where as soon as some
faint glimmers of light arrive, after them entered the idolatrous multitude, many who
did not know the law of Christ but they were led by their conscience and kept it unrecognized they were those who had to show the work of the law
written in their hearts the testimony of their
conscience many of them shone like the sun from its purity and purity they were called to judge the heavenly kingdom and
the pleasure of God he was crowned and with wreaths beautifully woven with roses and
lilies one only brought b heavy that he was unbaptized as unbaptized they were blind and
could not shake the glory and the light of God because holy baptism is light and eye of the soul and whoever is deprived of it
no matter how well he does inherits heaven and tastes something of its fragrance and sweetness but sees nothing the pagans followed another order of saints they were
children of Christians who left life prematurely they all looked 30 years old
or less the bridegroom gave them a sympathetic look and said your christening shirt is spotless works but nowhere so what can I do with you then
they also say bravely our lord you have deprived us of your heavenly goods don't
deprive us at least of the heavenly ones the bridegroom smiled and gave them the eternal goods he gave them wreaths of faith and ignorance and acacia and blessedness,
the heavenly armies looked at them with great admiration, but they themselves also wore their eternal wreaths with joy, it was a wonder to hear the angels who,
seeing the orders of all the saints gathered together, sang hymns
and gloom and divine pleasure when therefore all these had entered the nymph and
they had been crowned, the righteous one saw the bridegroom presented, a theophile
voice sounded bright and terrible and venerable together as soon as the holy angels saw her,
she sparkled with joy and bliss from her feet as she marched,
a thunderous passage poured forth from her path, she spread a heavenly fragrance as if
she were clothed with divine perfumes with robes regal on the outside in crimson crimson and on the inside a white
linen tunic on her broad head she wore a divine crown and had no equal in splendor and beauty
Angels amazed and dazzled by the saints observed the divine rays scattered all around from that heavenly diadem as the the bride entered the
hymn, a number of the virgins appeared behind the crowd, who followed her
singing and glorifying the greatness of God, when she came near the bridegroom, she worshiped him three times together with all those holy virgins, and he,
smiling joyfully, bowed his head and honored her like his chaste mother
then she crossing her arms shyly approached him with much reverence
and grace and kissed his eyes and even his tender
hands after that divine kiss the lord bestowed upon the virgins glittering dresses and graceless wreaths afterwards came the mental powers and the dances
of the saints, they all worshiped the Mother of God with all joy and sang hymns and
blessings and great hymns to her with their hands raised in holy enthusiasm, then
the Nephis rose from his throne and having on his right his most blessed mother and on the on the left the great and wonderful prophet and forerunner passed
from the nymph into the divine chamber where the unknown and unheard of things were,
and thanks to those who loved God with him
entered that holy and wonderful chamber all the saints who had just seen those goods were possessed by unspeakable rejoicing and gaiety
then in a delirium of heavenly joy began to dance and sing and celebrate these things but the
philotheo of Nipho could not describe them to me, although I pressed him very much, do not tell me the slightest thing, I cannot, he said only groans, let me present with my tongue or to
parm with some earthly things the heavenly were beyond all imagination and comparison beyond all thought and vision beyond all visible and invisible
therefore when the lord distributed to his saints the goods that were there he commanded the cherubim to circle the heavenly chamber as the wall encircles a city he
then commanded the seraphim to encircle the cherubim the thrones the seraphim the dominions the thrones the principalities the dominions the powers in the principalities and the
powers the authorities as the wall encircles a city the one order encircled the other forming seven overlapping diazomes to the right of the eternal
chamber stood in perfect formation Michael and his regiment on the left lined up with great reverence Gabriel and his own regiment Raphael in the
east and Uriel in the west with their own these positions we took to the lands of the lord their ranks were vast and together with the ranks of the
godless circle powers the chamber of the god with much splendor after all
this and the lord the son of the god submitted to his father who had submitted to him everything and he surrendered to him all the kingdom and
dominion and authority which he had given him he himself again entered the
divine and inaccessible chamber heir of his father and king and high priest
eternal together with all the co-heirs end of the mysteries which
the righteous one of Niphos was entitled to face the father and begator himself saw this terrible revelation,
the inaccessible and incomprehensible light suddenly arose, shining above that vast chamber of
divine dignity and above the circular ranks of the angelic orders, it illuminated the chamber as the sun illuminates the world brake the with the foam
of his divinity and the divine heat of his light all the saints and as a sponge soaks up and holds water so the saints absorbed the
paternal divinity and united with it to live eternally with God in
his kingdom from then on there was neither night nor day for them there was only
god and father son and spirit light and tender life and splendor pleasure and indulgence now
the earth was spread absolute in the eyes of the blessed one, he was given heavenly sight to
see the last mysteries the first order that circled the chamber received as an eternal inheritance a chant pander pno sacred addictive present therefore the divine and
awesome that order began the afra his praise while the saints of Sirtu are moved by joy and they too are motivated in thanksgiving and injection of the Lord from the
first order that indescribable hymn was transmitted to the second to the seraphim and they also began to sing a hymn that was harmonious and incomprehensible which like honey
sweetened all the senses of the saints with their eyes saw the unattainable light with their sense of smell they smelled the fragrance of god with
their ears they heard the divine hymn of the immortal powers with their mouth they tasted new the body and blood of the Lord Jesus Christ with their hands
they felt the eternal goods and with their feet they danced in indescribable beauty of the heavenly chamber supremely tender incomprehensible
vibrations divine that hymn from the second to the third order and from the third to the fourth and in all the following in order as it became
[music] of infinity with the words
honey-gold the majesty of that melody, the most exquisite thing was that not
all the orders sang the same hymn but many and varied unknown and
unheard of heavenly and divine hymns, each order his own which,
however, intertwine and bind each other perfectly like calotine in the angelic armies glorifying God and praising
his saints, when the host of incorporeal forces completed their ethereal praise, the four orders of the archangels began the trisagion
hymn, the order of Michael sang and the antiphon of the order of Gabriel, similarly
hymnologists again, the other of Raphael and all that of Ur and their chants were wonderful and unheard of the voices of the four
generals stood out among the innumerable others of their forces and were sweeter but also more imposing motivated infinite
that cheerfulness and tenderness the saints all then began and they through the heavenly chamber to sing and praise the glories of God, thus
antichone, inside hymns outside hymns everywhere hymns that flame of the saints and with
the all-virgin and three blessed pleasures and those superlative and wonderful hymns
poured out in the heavenly settings unceasingly in the perfections as after all that the blessed
Nifon saw having fallen into a trance he heard the voice of God saying to him nifon nifon
good was your prophetic apparition and theory therefore write down with all precision what
you saw and heard because thus it will be miraculous they revealed everything like a faithful leaf
and dear son and heir of my kingdom so that you may understand how much I love you find therefore now that you have known these horrible mysteries just
how my great charity will be realized for you and all who humbly worship my kingdom and authority for I always delight
to oversee on the humble and quiet and trembling speeches
and with these words the master freed him from the terrible and polytheous man he lasted
two full weeks
