**129:1** Hear ye also, my children, the visions which I saw.

**129:2** There were twelve deer feeding, and the nine were divided and scattered in the land, likewise also the three.

**129:3** And I saw that from Judah was born a virgin wearing a linen garment, and from her went forth a Lamb, without spot, and on His left hand there was as it were a lion; and all the beasts rushed against Him, and the lamb overcame them, and destroyed them, and trod them under foot.

**129:4** And because of Him the angels rejoiced, and men, and all the earth.

**129:5** And these things shall take place in their season, in the last days.

**129:6** Do ye therefore, my children, observe the commandments of the Lord, and honour Judah and Levi; for from them shall arise unto you the Lamb of God, by grace saving all the Gentiles and Israel.

**129:7** For His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, which shall not be shaken; but my kingdom among you shall come to an end as a watcher’s hammock, which after the summer will not appear.
