Hadjaneck’s Mission Fulfilled
The Book of Jeraneck CHAPTER ONE Divisions 1- A book given to Matthew Philip Gill, through the Urim and Thummim. Present were Matthew Philip Gill, Philip Andrew Gill, and David Relfe Smith. The People of Light JERANECK 1 1. My name is Jeraneck son of Isnah from the house of Isnah. 2. I have been taught the gospel of the Christ and the almighty God by my Father and Mother. 3. Yet it is from my Mother that I have learnt a greater understanding of humility, respect, and love, and it is to her that I give thanks for the man I am today. 4. I am the last and living Prophet of the People of Light and it is at a great and terrible time that I compile this sacred record, for even as I speak now war and famine do cover the whole land and the remaining followers of the Christ and the Almighty God have fled with me, the last living Prophet, to the temple of the Almighty God on the plains of Shainnon and it is here that my people intend to make their last stand against the invaders from the east. . For it is my people that have strayed from the paths of righteousness and it is because of this that I do compile this record so that one day people may learn from the mistakes we have made, for the Lord has shown unto me his Prophet in the days before his coming, that these sacred records will one day come forth. For I have seen your day and I do tremble with great fear for the times in which I have seen you live. The Lord the Almighty God has promised me, his servant, that if you remain faithful and steadfast that the sacred history of my people the People of Light will be placed in your hands and our history will be known once again to all the children of God. I lay down upon these twenty four plates the history of my people for I say unto you they were once a mighty and great people, willing to listen to the voice of their prophets and the voice of their God. To understand my people we must go back to their origins and the place from whence they sprang. And now I record the history of my people It is a time of great wickedness upon the whole earth but the People of Light do follow in the footsteps of the Prophet Araneck and do heed his words. They do keep the commandments of the Almighty God and they do worship him with one heart and one spirit but the land remains a wicked land and the people on the plains of Shinar have taken upon themselves and upon their whole land to build a mighty tower unto the Lord, for it is their wish to walk into the kingdom of the almighty God without humbling themselves. The Prophet Araneck being a mighty man in stature went before the Lord and offered up a sacred prayer saying. “Almighty God, Lord of Heaven and of the Earth spare the people, forgive them of their wickedness pour out the spirit upon their hearts, that they might have a great and mighty change of heart, that they may kneel before thee in solemn repentance for the wickedness they have done.” As Araneck finished his prayer unto the Lord a great fire appeared before him in which stood the Lord of hosts the very Saviour. The Saviour and Lord of hosts did speak to the Prophet Araneck and Araneck did tremble before the Lord, for the Lord would not stay his hand. After Araneck had made his proposition to the Lord for the people, his heart grew sad and heavy for he knew if the people would not humble themselves and repent of their wickedness that the Lord would destroy them from off the whole earth. So with a heavy heart Araneck went unto his people and told them of the things that the Lord had spoken to him. Now the people of Araneck or in other words the People of Light listened with great attention to the words that Araneck spoke to them. And there stood in the midst of the great people one who was a guard of all the armies. And his name was Shiblon and he did listen with great listening and his heart was moved and he spoke to the people and he said this, “I will go down with the great Prophet Araneck and I will teach with him repentance and humility to the great tower builders, with one hand on my sword and my one hand on the shoulder of the Prophet we will go forth with great authority and power and I will see for myself whether or not the Lord will stay his hand.” Upon the next morning the prophet Araneck and the Captain of the army Shiblon did make the long walk to the plains of Shinar and they were walking for eight days and they came upon a hill that over looked the valley and plains of Shinar and they saw a great and mighty tower reaching above the clouds and into the sky and it did fill their hearts with great fear for they feared for the people. Upon seeing the tower Araneck spoke, “You wicked, wicked people you cannot buy or walk your way into Heaven you must humble yourselves now, before the God of Heaven and of Earth does destroy you.” Upon hearing this, the people of the plains and valley of Shinar began to shout and ridicule and throw rocks and dirt and all manner of things toward the Prophet and Shiblon, these are the words that the people said, “We do not need a Prophet for our king has promised that in the coming days we will walk with God in the Heavens, we do not need to humble ourselves before God for we have all the things we need to enter into his Kingdom, for instance the mighty tower and our fine clothing and our mighty storehouse and our money.” After the people had finished shouting and screaming these words, the Prophet Araneck and his companion Shiblon made their way into the heart of the great city and to the base of the tower in the great city named after the great hunter and mighty king Nimrod. Upon seeing the great tower in the mighty and wicked city, Araneck knew in his heart why the Lord would not stay his hand, the people were wicked and liked being wicked and they would not change their hearts. Shiblon then spoke to the Prophet Araneck saying “let us go down to our friends who are camped by the river on the west and let us speak to Mahonri and let us see if he has spoken to the Lord about this same thing, the wickedness of the people of Shinar at the city of Nimrod” With this Araneck and Shiblon took their walk to the camp of Mahonri. Upon seeing Mahonri they did embrace him for he too was a Prophet of the Most High God, and he did lead them to his camp by the side of the river which was called Moack. Upon entering the tent of Mahonri he asked them to sit and they relayed the tale of the people of Nimrod, and Mahonri said to Araneck, “I too have been to the city of Nimrod and I too have seen the wickedness there, and my heart sank also for the wickedness was great and the people would not listen to me.” Upon hearing these words Araneck asked Mahonri to go with him and Shiblon to the city of Nimrod to once again call the people to repentance. Upon the next day Araneck, Shiblon, Mahonri and his brother Jared did take their journey to the city of Nimrod. Upon entering the city there began a great storm and the whole earth shook beneath their feet and Araneck looked and saw that the great tower did sway to and throw, side to side and began to fall. Shiblon being a mighty man took hold of Araneck and forced him into a great hole and did shield him from the destruction. Araneck upon this prayed to the lord asking for protection from the destruction around them. “Oh Lord hear my words. Hear the words of thy Prophet, protect the lives of my people and my friends people, this I pray thee, Lord protect us.” Upon the ending of the prayer Shiblon looked out around him but could not see for the air was full with blackness and decay. Upon this Shiblon heard voices calling and crying but he could not make out their tongue. The Lord then moved upon Araneck and Araneck knew through the Holy Spirit that the language of the people of Nimrod had been cursed. He knelt down with Shiblon and offered a great prayer to the Lord of hosts. “Oh Lord thou art great and wonderful and although your anger is great I ask that you may preserve the language of the People of Light and also the language of our friends for this is the language of our first parents and we do not wish to lose that and all its meaning. We pray this, oh Lord, with the power of all the Priesthood. Amen”. Araneck, having made his prayer to God, knew through the power of the holy priesthood that the Lord had spared his people, and spared the people of his friend Mahonri. And he knew that the Lord had spared the integrity of their language and now Araneck and Shiblon were moved by the Holy Spirit to leave the plains of Shinar and take their journey home to the People of Light. As they journeyed home their hearts became heavy and sad for they new the people at the great tower had not humbled themselves and Araneck became worried for his own people for he knew that not all of his people were righteous and he worried that the Lord, although he had spared his people and their language, would destroy them if they would not humble themselves to the words he would speak to them. the Great Journey JERANECK 2 As Araneck and Shiblon returned home, after many days of walking, they found their people in a state of preparedness, for they had already gathered themselves together with all manner of things, Sheep, Oxen, Camels, Donkeys, Horses and many other things they were prepared with, for the sight of this was like a mighty host and Araneck could not believe what stood before him, and his heart did soar for he knew his people had gathered together because the Lord had commanded it, and Shiblon stood forward and commanded that the people should make known their intentions and Azanar stood forward and told Araneck that he and all the people gathered had been commanded to do so by a bright and marvellous cloud of light, with this Araneck heard the voice of the Lord and the voice did say to him, “Your people are gathered for I have commanded them that they should be prepared, for they will leave this place and take their journey northward away from the wicked and destructive people of Shinar.” Upon hearing these words Araneck commanded Shiblon to move the people northward. The people of Araneck or in other words the People of Light were walking for the space of many days when the Lord appeared unto them in a cloud of fire. When Araneck saw the cloud he approached it and stretched fourth his hand so that he could touch the cloud, as he did he saw a hand appear from the cloud and in the hand there appeared to be a round solid brass ball, upon the ball Araneck saw that there were written many things that would help his people to cross the desert waste and the mountain heights. Araneck went to remove the ball but was forbidden to do so, upon this the ball opened and inside the ball there was another solid brass ball with writing upon it. As Araneck looked at the writing he saw that the writing described stars in the heavens and seas on the ocean and the names by which the seas and oceans should be called and where to find them. As Araneck looked at the ball he heard a voice from the cloud which made him tremble, for he had never heard the Lord of the most high speak with such power and authority, these are the words which Araneck heard. “Because of the faithfulness of thy people, I the Lord God will give to you, Araneck my Prophet, this gift. Upon this gift are written commandments and instructions that the people should follow. If your people will follow the instructions upon the ball, I the Lord and Saviour of this world will lead you and your people to a safe and beautiful land and upon this land you and your people will find many wonderful and marvellous things, it is a land that I the Lord have chosen for thy people to inherit. Beware Araneck I will not be mocked, as soon as thy people forget the ways of the Prophets and of me I will cause them to be destroyed for all time. A commandment I give to you to mark your way to this land so that others I may command will be able to follow and find this pleasant and blessed land. I will now show unto you, Araneck, the form that these signs must take, they are this” the Lord then showed unto Araneck that mighty stone circles and monuments must be placed in all the lands they travel through. When Araneck saw the great stone monuments that must be built he marvelled at how his people would accomplish the things that the lord had asked of them and by what means they were to be built. The Lord said this to Araneck, “I the Lord will provide all that is necessary for these markers to be built for many more people will follow these markers and they will stand as a testament to your journey and a sign that I the Lord am great and I will bless all that do follow my commandments.” After hearing the words of the Lord Araneck told his people all the things the Lord had told him, and they did sing out with one voice, “Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna to the most High God” Many years passed and the People of Light did take their journey north. Now their hearts were full of the love of God and although their journey was a hard and testing journey they remembered the promises which the Lord had given them, that if they were to build the stone markers that the Lord would guide their journey. The People of Light journeyed with a full heart and spirit. Many years past and their hearts were full at first but as the years past they began to be sorrowful, for their lives were hard and the wilderness began to take its toll on their spirits and they began to murmur and complain and began to neglect the building of the stone markers that the Lord had commanded them to build and they took it upon themselves that which their hearts desired and Araneck being very old went unto the people and began to call them to repentance saying, “Oh my people how quickly you have forgotten the words of your Lord and Saviour, for he promised us that if we were faithful and obedient he would guide our journey and make it light, that your burden may be carried by him but you have forgotten and now my people you wonder at your hardship. Repent, repent, repent and kneel before your God if not you will be destroyed.” A New Prophet Is Chosen JERANECK 3 Now the People of Light in part did listen to the Prophet Araneck but there stood amongst them one who did not heed his words and his name was Lioneck and he was the very son of the Prophet Araneck, for Lioneck was the firstborn of Araneck and he had journeyed with the people since he was a small child. Now Lioneck stood before the People of Light and said to them, “Do not follow this foolish old man for he thinks he speaks with God but I tell you now that God does not speak with him and if he did speak with my father he would command us to stay here for this land has all that we need and want. Do not listen to this fool”. After making his words known to the people, Araneck wept for his son. Lioneck, being his firstborn was to be taught all the things that his father Araneck was taught in the ways of the spirit, now Araneck grew to be very old and his son Lioneck gave him no peace and Araneck cried unto the Lord saying, “Oh Lord of Heaven how long will you permit me to live upon this earth and how long, oh Lord, must I bear my firstborn and his raging against me.” and the Lord appeared before Araneck as if it were a cloud of burning fire and a voice sounded from the cloud saying, “Oh my Prophet, repent of your thoughts and your feelings, for I the Lord, will deal justly and swiftly with all those who defile my Prophets and my name. Take strength my servant, for soon you will have your rest.” Upon hearing these words Araneck found strength in his legs and walked amongst the people and told them to gather to his tent, for he was soon to find his rest. And so it was that the People of Light gathered to the tent of the Prophet and waited to hear the words of Araneck for the last time. Araneck being very old and frail stood before the people and the people beheld that the spirit of the Lord fell upon him and the people beheld that the spirit of the Lord shone like the sun at midday, for it filled his tent and all that were present felt of the spirit and of the Lord and many did fall to the ground because they were so overcome that they could not stand. Now the five children of Araneck did stand before him in order that the oldest was first and the youngest was last. Now I Jeraneck make no apology for what follows, for Araneck did not write down upon his record all of the names of his children, but I Jeraneck have the first three names, Lioneck being the oldest, Sharaneck being the second in line and Hadjaneck being the third in line. Now they sat before Araneck and waited for their father to name his successor to the prophetic calling, now Lioneck, being the oldest, stood and held his father so much so that Araneck had to fight for breath, upon seeing this Hadjaneck caught hold of Lioneck and wrestled him to the floor. Now Araneck cried with a loud voice as if being touched by the Mighty One of Heaven and he cried out, “Oh my sons, be faithful and obedient to the will of the Lord, for the Lord has chosen his next Prophet and Sharanack shall be the anointed one and Hadjaneck shall be his voice unto the people, for although Sharaneck has no tongue his spirit is mighty, the mightiest off all Gods people, with this mighty spirit Sharaneck will tell Hadjaneck the will of the Lord.” Now Lioneck grew angry and he threw off Hadjaneck and he went before the people and stood before them and said to them, “Do not listen to the ravings of an old man but listen to me and I will lead you and we will go north to the lands that my scouts have told me of and we will have plenty and we will have no need to brake our backs on the building of these worthless stone monuments.” Now his words pleased many and Lioneck did draw away many of the sons and daughters of light. Now upon hearing his son Lioneck, the prophet Araneck fell to the floor and died. And while his father lay dead upon the floor and his brothers wept over his body Lioneck left the tent of his father and took with him two thousand of the sons and daughters of light. And Lioneck took with him five hundred horses from the great herd of the People of Light and he took three hundred goats and two hundred sheep and many other things did Lioneck steal from the children of light. Now I suppose that Lioneck took his people north and the people that he took are the forefathers of the people who do now send their seed to destroy their brothers and sisters upon this island. Now Sharaneck being called as the new prophet of the People of Light wept for his father for the space of five days and after this he did offer sacrifice on behalf of his brothers people so that the Lord would preserve his brothers people. Now many years passed since Lioneck and his people departed and Sharaneck and Hadjaneck took the remaining People of Light west in to many strange and mysterious lands and their children began to be old so that their children grew in to young men of great stature and their girls in to fair and delightsome young women. Now a problem occurred that when Lioneck drew away his people, there began to be more men than women so that not every woman had a husband, now this was because the priesthood was not given to unworthy males and only worthy males could marry worthy females. Now the females of the children of light went unto the Prophet Sharaneck and his mouth piece Hadjaneck and complained for they wished that all could marry and experience the joy of marriage and Sharaneck through the power of the spirit told Hadjaneck that the Lord would only permit marriage between a righteous man and a righteous woman. Now the females that had gathered to complain were overcome with the spirit and they said to Sharaneck, “Our children and our children’s children covenant with the Lord that they will remain faithful and righteous so that all our children can one day share in the love and companionship of marriage.” JERANECK FOUR

A Mighty Vision
The People of Light journeyed westward and Sharaneck and Hadjaneck had many children, even 30 between them and Sharaneck and Hadjaneck in the one hundred and fiftieth year gathered the people together by the shores of the sea and told them that the Lord had commanded them to gather together one thousand logs from the trees of the forest that was round about them. So the People of Light did according to the will of the Lord. And many days passed and the People of Light stood before the Prophet Sharaneck and his mouth piece Hadjaneck and demanded to know why their children had done such a hard labour. And as they were murmuring and crying a man by the name of Necka stood before the people and said “Let us take these logs and throw them into the sea and then let our anger be kindled towards Sharaneck and Hadjaneck, for they have worked us without explanation” as Necka was speaking to the people a voice from heaven sounded as if it were a great thunder and the voice said, “Behold my people, listen to the words of my Prophet, for he is ordained by me, the Lord Almighty. And his words are my words and when my Prophet speaks it is as if I have spoken and if he commands that one thousand logs be cut, it is as if I have commanded it. Now because of your wickedness you will cut two thousand logs and bring them before Sharaneck and his mouthpiece Hadjaneck and then I will forgive this out cry”.
Now when the Lord had spoken the words, the people fell to their knees and cried unto Heaven for forgiveness. And so it was that when the people cried unto Heaven a voice came again to the people and it was the voice of the Lord and he said, “Why are you kneeling and asking for forgiveness? Have I not already commanded you to go about your business and then I will forgive you”.
After the People of Light had heard the voice from above, even the voice of the Saviour they did go to work collecting the logs that had been commanded them to collect. Now the people did work hard and even their children did labour hard and on the tenth day of their labour they brought the logs before the Prophet Sharaneck and the people did give praise to the most High God. When the people had finished their praising and their singing the Prophet Sharaneck stood before the people and he looked upon their labour and he did give thanks in his heart unto the people.
Now Sharaneck and Hadjaneck went before the Lord in private prayer and they did ask with one voice what the people should do with their labour. And so it was that as Sharaneck and Hadjaneck were in prayer the Lord sent unto them an Angel and he did hold in one hand a sphere or ball and in the other hand was a mitre and upon the mitre was written, “I the Lord am great follow in my footsteps and I will lead you to the land I have promised you.” Now when Hadjaneck saw the mitre he held out his hand as if to take hold of the mitre but the Lord forbade him and the Angel spoke to Hadjaneck saying, “Your brother Sharaneck is the Lords anointed and it is he that this is to be given, for you are his mouthpiece and he is your Prophet.” Now the Angel called Sharaneck fourth and placed in his one hand the mitre and in his other hand the Angel placed the sphere or ball. When Sharaneck took hold of the objects he was filled with the spirit and he knew straight away what their purposes were for. Sharanack was mighty in spirit and the gift of revelation came upon him as easily as a Razaner comes upon the grass. Now the Angel moved forward to stand beside Sharaneck and he began to instruct Sharaneck and Hadjaneck so that they would know how to use the mitre and the sphere.
The Angel opened a vision for Sharaneck and Hadjaneck and in the vision they saw many ships upon the water and the Angel told Sharaneck that the ships would carry the People of Light to the land that the Lord had promised them. Now the Angel instructed Hadjaneck in the ways of the building of the ships and he commanded Hadjaneck that the ships must be the length of one thousand mitre sticks and this must be done according to the Word of God and there must be no more or less and the Angel commanded Hadjaneck that the depth of the ships must be 50 mitre sticks and no more or less.
The Angel then showed Sharaneck how the ball or sphere must be used. The Angel told Sharaneck that the outer ball was to guide the ships during the light and the inner ball was to guide them during the darkness. Now the Angel continued to tell Sharaneck and Hadjaneck many great things but I have been commanded not to write them here but to write them on the plates that deal with our religion.
When Sharaneck and Hadjaneck had been instructed by the Angel they fell to the earth and they lay there for the space of three days and the people became troubled and they supposed that Sharaneck and Hadjaneck were dead and there began to be a great turmoil amongst the people and some believed that God had abandoned them. And there stood one man whose name was that of Shiblon and he was chief guard, for he was the son of Shiblon and he stood before the people and cried unto them and told them to repent of their wicked ways, for he knew that the Lord would not abandon his people. And Shiblon (the second) went to the tent of the Prophet and his mouthpiece and when he had entered the tent he saw a great light as if it were fire surrounding Sharaneck and Hadjaneck, but Shiblon (the second) being a tall and mighty man was not afraid and he took hold of the Prophet and as he did so was filled with the spirit of God and he saw before his eyes an Angel and the Angel spoke to Shiblon saying, “My name is Jonathon and I have been sent unto the Prophet to guide him and to teach him and you, my brother, must protect him and his mouthpiece, for this is the will of the Almighty” when the Angel had spoken these words the light went out and vanished along with the Angel. And when the light had gone Sharaneck and Hadjaneck awoke, sat up, and embraced each other, for they had seen the hills and the mountains of the land and they had seen the valleys and the lakes and the animals and they had seen their children’s future and their children’s, children’s future. Now when Hadjaneck stood Sharaneck also stood and Sharaneck went out of his tent and went before the people and the people did rejoice, for their Prophet was alive and Hadjaneck spoke to the people and said, “The Lord has shown us and told us the things that we must do to cross this great water. Out of the logs that we have gathered we must build ships so that we can sail across the water to the land that the Lord has promised us and there we will build a great and mighty nation.”
JERANECK FIVE
Hadjaneck’s Mission Fulfilled
Now when Hadjaneck had finished speaking unto the people he set them the charge to build the ships, and all this was done through the Prophets mouthpiece Hadjaneck.
Now many years passed and the ships had been completed and the people were ready to enter the ships and sail across the sea to the land the Lord had promised them.
Now the people had grown strong in spirit and there was no murmuring or complaining or fighting’s or any manor of wickedness, for the space of five years and the people were one with God.
Now the time came for the people to enter into the ships but before they did, Sharaneck and Hadjaneck called all of the people together on the seashore. Sharaneck and Hadjaneck knew the Lord and they had received revelation from the Lord and they were commanded to tell all of the people the revelation that they had received at this time. Hadjaneck grew ill with a mighty sickness and the sickness took away the use of his legs and the use of his arms.
And so it was that it became very difficult for Hadjaneck to serve his brother and Prophet, and because of this Sharaneck had not spoken to the people for two years. Now he gave a mighty spirit to comfort Hadjaneck, even the very same spirit that sits to the left of the Father, and this spirit manifest itself unto Hadjaneck and this spirit was the Holy Spirit, and he gave strength to Hadjaneck and bore him up so that he might tell the people of the revelation that he had received.
Now Hadjaneck spoke to the people saying, “The time has come to take our great journey. The ships are built and the stores are full, and the Lord has indeed blessed our people, for it is only his will that has led us here and helped us build those ships. Now my brothers and sisters, the Lord wishes you to know the revelation he has given to the Prophet Sharaneck, but I say this, it is only through his power and the faith of my heart that I am able to stand here today, for I will soon meet the Saviour, and he will welcome me into the kingdom for ever and ever. The Lord has promised through revelation that if we, his people are faithful and obedient that we shall become one with him. Now because I am dying Sharaneck went to the Lord in prayer and asked if he might be able to be made whole so that he might speak unto you by his own mouth. And the Lord has indeed blessed the Prophet Sharaneck and when he awoke from his sleep this very morning his tongue was made whole and he could speak and I know that it is only through his faithfulness and obedience that this was given to him.”
Now when Hadjaneck had finished speaking to the people his heart grew heavy and sad for he knew that this would be the last time that he would speak unto his people, and Sharaneck was touched by the spirit and he knew the thoughts of Hadjaneck’s heart and mind and Sharaneck spoke to his people for the first time and his voice was like that of his Fathers and the people were amazed and they stood as if their tongues were bound.
And Hadjaneck said to the people, “Listen to my brother,” and Sharaneck told the people with the power of the Lord is his own voice, “I have prayed unto the lord and he has delivered me from my bondage and he has loosed my tongue so that I may testify of his greatness and because I prayed with a sincere heart having faith, the Lord not only loosed my tongue but he also has blessed me with the desires of my heart,”
And so it was that as Sharaneck was about to tell the people what Lord had blessed him with, the Heavens opened. And out of the Heavens there came a man unlike any man they had seen before. And he stood in the midst of them and said, “I am he who will bleed for you at my first coming. I am he who will be born to a virgin pure and clean. I am he who is the only begotten of the Father. I am he whom your Prophets testify of. I am the Saviour, the very Christ. My servant Sharaneck, I bless you with the desires of your heart, for I know those desires and I bless you that you will never taste death, but more than this you shall come to me two times in the flesh, once at my birth where you shall bring gold to my cradle and second when you shall meet me at the Mount of Olives when I shall come the second and final time. And unto you Hadjaneck, I say this, that on the morrow you shall be with me in my kingdom but I give unto your seed, Hadjaneck, a blessing that it will be through them that the record of your people will be given to my servant in the days before my second coming.”
Now I Jeraneck do testify that I am a descendent of Hadjaneck and my son Rayanack has also been promised through revelation that he will not taste death until he has given this record of our people to the servant of the Lord in the days before his second coming.
JERANECK SIX
Journey to the Sacred Island
Now the Lord said unto the people that they must obey the words of the Prophet Sharaneck and that soon they would reach the land that he, the Lord, had promised them.
Now when the Lord had finished speaking to the people he ascended in to the heavens and the heavens shone and sang at his ascending and as the people looked up, the heavens closed and they remained closed and the light that the Saviour had brought with him was gone and the people stood in amazement and looked around about themselves and they sang praises unto the Lord and they shouted hosannas into the heavens for the space of four days
And so it was that the time came that the people should enter into the ships and they were many in number even Twenty two thousand. And the Prophet Sharaneck, stood by the seashore and beckoned all to enter the ships and they came down to the seashore, and they came with their cattle and their livestock and their children and all manner of things they did bring from the land that they were leaving and so great was the multitude, that it took five days for them to enter in to the ships. Now when they had entered in to the ships and the doors were sealed, the Prophet Sharaneck looked out upon the land and he knew that the land had been good to them and he blessed the land for future inhabitants of the land and he said, “Oh Lord, my God, hear the words of my mouth for I am thy servant. I cry unto you as your servant and as thy servant and thy prophet I bless this land in thy name, for we have been faithful and we have erected many stone monuments unto thee, just as you have commanded us to do and we have done this not for our own edification but for yours oh Lord, and we have done this so that those that follow after us will know that we were the People of Light and that we followed thy teachings and thy principles and I ask, oh Lord and Saviour, that you will guide us on our journey, that you will guide us across the seas to our new land, that you have promised us. I ask that you guide us and set the wind to move our sails and calm the waves of the mighty sea. I ask this, oh Lord, with my mouth and pray unto you, that you may deliver these blessings unto my people and a blessing I give unto the seed of Hadjaneck that they may stay strong and faithful and the blessing that you have promised them will be able to be poured out upon them. Oh Lord, bless this land and all that dwell on her, for it has been a good land and it has kept thy people. In the name of the Almighty Lord. Amen.”
Now when Sharaneck had made an end to his prayer he entered in to a ship and the ships set sail upon the sea and they were on the sea for 10 days and the seas were calm and the winds were good and the ships sailed well and all the people that were in the ships were blessed and the Lord guided their journey. On the tenth day, the seas became still and the winds died and Sharaneck was moved by the spirit to go onto the top of the ship and he cried unto the Lord saying, “Oh Lord, why have you abandoned your people, oh Lord guide your people, see them safely to the land that you have promised,” and a voice from heaven said to Sharaneck, “Sharaneck, my servant. Have you forgotten that I am the Lord your God? Have you forgotten that I promised you that I would guide your people? Now remember that I am the Lord and I will guide you. The orb that I have given you look to it for guidance and follow its instruction,” the voice then left and Sharaneck left the top of the ship and went beneath and brought forth the orb and went back to the top of the ship and held it aloft in to the air and the orb began to spin and when Sharaneck bought the orb down from the air he saw that upon the ball was the direction his people must take. And so Sharaneck ordered Ajanid who was the fleet’s navigator to move the ships north-eastward and Ajanid did what had been asked of him, for he was a skilled navigator and righteous man. And the ships sailed north and easterly and on the night of the 12 day the ships came to rest on the sea shore of the land the Lord had promised and Sharaneck led his people from the ships on to the shore of the land and when all the ships were empty they knelt down and gave thanks to the Lord their God and Sharaneck cried unto the heavens thanking the Lord for preserving his people upon the seas and Sharaneck cried, “Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord, my people have made it to the land that you have promised and they have been obedient unto thy commands and because of thy power, oh Lord, the waves were still and the winds were strong, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord, continue to bless my people upon this land.” When Sharaneck had finished crying unto the Lord he gave orders for the people to give thanks and the people sang and danced and gave thanks unto the Lord for the space of two days and nights and when the people had made an end to their praising Sharaneck assembled his people and Sharaneck said to his people, “We have journeyed across the sea. The Lord made the waves calm and the winds to blow and he has brought us here and we have feasted and given thanks two days and nights and now the Lord wishes that we go forth onto the land and he wishes that we build great cities and great monuments unto him so that we may be able to worship our Lord and Saviour.” Now when Sharaneck had finished making an end to his words, he summoned Shiblon (the second), to organise the people into groups, for Shiblon was the master of the guard and he was a mighty man like his father before him and Shiblon went out and organised the people into groups so that the people were gathered together in twelve groups, so that it would be easier to take the people up on to the land. And Sharaneck did lead his people forth from the seashore and onto the land and they stayed for many years upon the land building buildings and building temples and places of worship and praising and singing unto the Lord their God.
Now I, Jeraneck, do bear testimony that the people did indeed stay faithful and they did all the things that the Lord commanded of them and now I return to the record.
And when 60 years had passed since the people arrived on the land, Sharaneck was commanded of the Lord to go and teach to the entire world and to go west across the great sea, for he was promised that he would not taste death.
Now before he left he anointed one to stand in his stead and when he had done this Sharaneck made his journey west and the people mourned for 3 days for their loss.
And so it was that at a place called Rahmanah, he was given a monument in his honour for the service he had given the people and it was a mighty monument with a great stone and upon the stone was written, “Sharaneck, whom the Lord gave back his tongue and did speak with the thundering and lightning’s of heaven. He was a true Prophet of God”.
Now at this time, being 60 years upon the land, the people had grown strong and their numbers had increased and they had children and their children had children and their flocks had increased and their horse heard became a large one, their storehouses were full of grain and they were indeed blessed by the Lord, and they took pleasure in worshipping the Lord their God and because the people were happy in their worship, they sang and danced and gave thanks, and they built a great and mighty temple and they built the temple on the plains they called “Shainnon” and it is the very same temple in which I, Jeraneck, do sit and compile the record of my fathers. For it is the very temple that they did build in the name of the Lord and they were a mighty and grateful people and the plains of Shainnon were great and vast and it was filled with may buildings and houses and many places where the People of Light could gather to sing and dance and also to hear the words of the Lord. Now before his great journey Sharaneck had anointed another in his stead, a new Prophet.
