Hearing His voice, His Daughter came out of His Son. In a flash of lightning, she appeared in an unknown wilderness marred by the winds that shifted the sands to and fro.
On the first night of her arrival, the Father called out to His Daughter. A great storm arose in the wilderness, but she could not hear her Father's voice through the winds and thunder. The storm continued into the day, and a whisper under the clouds drew her to a spring where the voice of the whisperer spoke, “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.”
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 His Daughter, and another storm arose over the dunes, but the Daughter could not hear Him because of the winds and thunder. After the storm had passed into the day, a 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 the arch-city, where there was a grand overlook. Upon the overlook was a bronze altar made for sacrifices. The Daughter stood her feet upon the bronze altar. The serpent said, “Throw yourself down off of this altar. God's servants will catch you and give you rest.”
She replied, “Since you have led me to the arch-city of my people as you promised me, surely yours is the voice of the Father.”
She threw herself off of the altar and down into the ruins of the arch-city, where the shifting sands caught her. The sands tossed her to and fro, but she wept because she found no rest.
The second night passed away, and the third night had come. The Father called out to His Daughter, and another storm, more violent than the last, came over the tallest mountain in the wilderness. While the storm raged, she recognized His voice, though she knew not what He said. So, she made out to climb the mountain through the storm. When she was halfway up the horn, she heard the voice of the red dragon. The monstrous creature stuck out his neck over the cliff and said, “Climb my mountain, worship me. Give to me what is mine, and the whole world shall be yours.”
The Daughter answered, “I rebuke you, vile tempter! For yours is not the voice that calls His Daughter but the one that calls 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 you to leave me at once!”
When the Daughter spoke, an angel came down out of heaven and ensnared the dragon’s mouth with a mighty chain. The chain 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 Daughter reached the top of the horn, and the storm was given up to the heavens. Casting her gaze to the foot of the mountain, she saw not the spring, the ruins of the city, nor the world. Swallowed up by the wilderness, all that was left were pillars of stone and salt. She wept. The Daughter took away her eyes from the pillars, looked up heavenward, and spoke out, “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 right of the throne then spoke, “My beloved Bride, whom I love, for you shall the books be opened.”
The earth returned from whence it had fled. The angels cried out, “Behold the book of death!”
The book of death was then 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. The angels cried out, “Behold the book of life!”
The book of life was then opened. There was a flash of lightning that stretched the heavens from east to west, and the thunder roared. The Daughter beheld twelve stars coming out of the heavens that made a garland around her head, bearing with them the name that belongs only to her. The heavens closed up, and she turned towards the Kingdom of God. The people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage. With eyes that shine like the moon, the Daughter beheld the world.
