This is the Testament of John Cook Bennet, recording the Event of a Vision given unto Me by an Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ on the Twenty-First Day of October, 1838, in which the Seven Veils were lifted from My Eyes so that I could See and Know the Truth of the Holy Verse as it will be Known after that Great Day of Rapture, when a New Name will be Trumpeted to all the Children in Our Exile.
Early in the morning as I prayed, I was visited by an Angel of a thousand eyes, whose thousand wings were flames. “Pray,” the Angel spoke to me, and before me I saw a Chrism of gold and silver, glittering with a thousand jewels. Trembling in fear, I prayed to the Lord for His mercy and grace, and the Angel anointed me and spoke again. “Eat,” he said, and before me I saw a round white stone. With trembling fingers I took the stone and put it in my mouth. It tasted of honey-sweetened bread, and I was filled with the Grace of the Holy Spirit. Again the Angel spoke, saying to me, “Drink,” and where before there was a stone and a Chrism, there was a chalice, filled with light. Bringing the chalice to my lips, I tasted the clearest wine. A great strength and Faith in the awesome power of the Lord filled every dark chamber of my Soul, and I fell to my face before the Angel, begging him to take me to Paradise so that I could see God's face.
“No, look” spoke the Angel, and in fear I lifted my eyes. Before me was a pedestal, and upon it lay a great gilded book, closed and sealed with seven locks. “Read,” he spoke, and one of the seals sprang open with a peal of thunder. I read and was amazed. “Read,” the Angel spoke again, and a second seal opened. Again I read the words written there and was amazed. Five more times the Angel commanded me to “Read, again,” and each time I was more amazed than the time before, as each of seven veils were lifted from my sight, and One Ancient and Holy Truth was revealed to me, filling me with Knowledge denied to all but Christ's Own Disciples, revealed to them in Secret, and Sealed by Unbreakable Oaths. As the last Seal was opened, and I gazed upon the words written, it was as if lightning coursed through me, and I fell to my face in shame and terror, having seen with my own eyes the End of Days unfolded, as by God's Will they shall be. All of the words of the Holy Scripture became clear to me, and I knew the Terrible Truth.
The Angel lifted me up and I was blinded by His light. Then with the voice of a thousand trumpets he said unto me, “Write down what you have been Given to See, Child of God, and show your words to no man, for your words do not belong to you, but to the Lord Jesus Christ thy God. Know that it is an abomination to constitute a secret combination with other men and so entice your children to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations and countries. Alone, your words will Testify truthfully in the Final Age, but it is not given to you to reveal the New Name at a time of your choosing. You words will lift each Veil at the Chosen hour. You will seal your words against all eyes, and bequeath them to your children, the Children of Melchizadok, and their children, until each hour arrives. Only at the proper hour will your words be imbued with the Glory of God by the Holy Spirit. Only at that hour will your whispered words be heard as Trumpets at Noon.” Then the Light was gone, and I was alone.
Immediately, I went to my desk and began to write these words, which do not belong to me, but to the Most High. They were not given to me to reveal, but to you, my son, at the appointed hour.
Know, my son, that you must not form or join any secret combination, and so thwart God's Will, but rather, you must let sound each Trumpet in turn, though the sound brings you to your knees in fear. For the hour of the Revelation is preordained, and no man may alter it. To give you courage, you may rely only on your brethren, my children in spirit, who live within the walls of Zion and so count among the Innocent, whose forebears laid the foundation-stone of the Temple of Solomon in ancient times.
For the Day approaches when the despised will be adored, and the adored will be revealed to be worthless. The Stone, the Manna, the New Name will be given, and Lost Prophets will be made Saints. What seems False will be shown to be Truth, and what seems True will be shown to be False. The stone the builder refused shall be the corner stone, when Heaven and Earth are wed, at last, in Zion, forevermore.
