YAHYA proclaims and speaks :
"Ye nobles, who lie there, ye ladies, who will not awaken - ye who lie there, what will you do on the Day of Judgment?
When the soul strips off the body, on Judgment-Day, what will you do?
O thou distracted jumbled-up world in ruin! Thy men die, and thy false scriptures are closed. Where is Adam, the First Man, who was here head of the aeon?
Where is Hawwa (Eve), his wife, out of whom the world was awakened to life?
Where is Shittil (Seth), son of Adam, out of whom worlds and aeons rose?
Where is Ram and Rud, who belonged to the Age of the Sword?
Where are Shurbai and Sharhab-el, who belonged to the Age of the Fire?
Where is Shum bar Nu (Shem, son of Noah), who belonged to the Age of the Flood?
All have departed and have not returned and taken their seats as Guardians in this world. (The Last Day) is like a feast-day, for which the worlds and the aeons are waiting. The Planets (like)) fatted oxen, who stand there for the Day of the Slaughter. The children of this world are like fat rams, who stand in the markets for sale.
But as for my friends, who pay homage to Life, their sins and transgressions shall be forgiven them."
And Life is Victorious
