On the first night of her arrival, the Father called out to His Bride. A great storm arose in the wilderness but she could not hear her Father's voice through the winds and thunder. The storm passed into the day and a whisper under the clouds drew her to a spring where the voice of the whisperer spake,
“Drink of these waters, for I have made them for you and you will be filled.”
She replied, “Since you have made these waters, surely yours is the voice of my Father.”
So, she put her face into the spring and drank the waters of the whisperer. Though her stomach ached and swelled, she groaned because she was not filled.
On the second night, The Father spoke to the Bride and another storm arose out over the dunes but the Bride could not hear Him because of the winds and thunder. After the storm had passed into the day, the serpent came to her and said,
“Follow me, I will show you the greatness of your people.”
She followed the serpent up high into the ruins of a great city where there was a grand overlook and an alter made of bronze. She stood her feet upon the alter and the serpent said,
“Throw yourself down off of this alter. My servants will catch you and give you rest.”
She replied, “Since you have led me to the great city of my people as you promised me, surely yours is the voice the Father.”
So she threw herself off of the alter and down into the ruins of the great city where the shifting sands caught her and tossed her to and fro but she wept because she found no rest.
The third night had come. The Father called out to His Bride and another storm, more violent than the last came out over the tallest mountain in the wilderness and while the storm raged, she recognized His voice though he knew not what He said. So, she made out to climb up the mountain through the storm. When she was halfway up the mountain she heard the voice of the red dragon who stuck out his neck over the cliff and said,
“Climb my mountain, worship me and my whole world shall be yours.”
The Bride replied, “I rebuke you vile tempter! For yours is not the voice that calleth His Bride but the one who calleth her to desolation. I climb your mountain not to lay my stake upon it, but to hear the voice of the one who calls after me. I command thee to leave me at once!”
When the Bride spoke, an angel came down out of heaven and ensnared the dragon’s mouth with a great chain which held the tempter’s voice captive in the Abyss until the time ordained that he would be released.
After one thousand years had passed, the Bride reached the top of the mountain and the storm was given up to the heavens. She looked down over the top of the mountain and saw not the spring, the ruins of the city, nor the world. From eye to eye he saw pillars of stone and salt that were swallowed up by the wilderness. She wept. The Bride took away her eyes from the pillars, looked up heavenward and spoke,
“Father, I have heard you. Come to me so that I may remember the name of my Father, the One who has called me from the darkness.”
A white cloud from which the earth and the heavens fled came over that mountain. In front of where the Daughter stood was a great white throne. A voice from the left of the throne then spoke,
“My beloved Bride, who with I am well pleased, for you shall the books be opened.”
The earth returned from whence it had fled and the angels cried out,
“Behold the book of death!”.
The book was opened, the seas of the earth parted and the red dragon’s chains were loosed so that Satan was revealed along with the dead. Then, the heavens rushed towards the earth and the angels cried out,
“Behold the book of life!”
The book was opened and there was a flash of lightning that stretched the heavens from east to west. The thunder roared and the Bride beheld twelve stars coming out from the heavens that made a garland around her head, bearing with them the name that belongs only to the Bride. The heavens shut up and the she turned towards the Kingdom of God. The people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage. With eyes that glow like the sun, the Bride beheld the world.
