1 And after their punishment has come from the Lord, the priesthood will fail. 2 Then the Lord will raise up a new priest. 3 And to him all the words of the Lord will be revealed; and he will execute a righteous judgment on the earth for many days. 4 And his star will arise in heaven like that of a king. 5 Lighting up the light of knowledge as the sun lights the day, and he will be magnified in the world. 6 He will shine forth like the sun on the earth, and will remove all darkness from under heaven, and there will be peace throughout the earth. 7 The heavens will exult in his days, and the earth will be glad, and the clouds will rejoice, and the knowledge of the Lord will be poured out on the earth, as the water of the seas. And the angels of the glory of the presence of the Lord will be glad in him. 8 The heavens will be opened, and from the temple of glory sanctification will come upon him, with the Father’s voice, as from Abraham to Isaac. 9 And the glory of the Most High will be proclaimed over him, and the spirit of understanding and sanctification will rest on him in the water.⁠a 10 For he will give the majesty of the Lord to His children in truth forever; and none will succeed him for all generations ever. 11 And in his priesthood the Gentiles will be multiplied in knowledge on the earth, and enlightened by the grace of the Lord. In his priesthood, sin will come to an end, and the lawless will cease to do evil.⁠b 12 And the just will rest in him. And he will open the gates of paradise, and will remove the threatening sword against Adam. 13 And he will give to the saints to eat from the tree of life, and the spirit of holiness will be upon them. 14 And Beliar will be bound by him, and he will give power to His children to trample upon the evil spirits.⁠c 15 And the Lord will rejoice in His children, and be well pleased in His beloved ones forever. 16 Then Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob will be joyful, and I will be glad, and all the saints will clothe themselves with joy.
