The Gospel of the Egyptians

Gospel of the Egyptians (Excerpted and Reconstructed Scroll)

πŸ”’ From the Nag Hammadi Library – Codex III, Tractate 2

πŸ•―οΈ A sacred Sethian gospel describing the birth of divine Aeons, the descent of the Light, and the triumph of the Immovable Race

πŸ“œ 1. The Beginning – The Hidden One

The great invisible Spirit, the divine Father, the ineffable, dwelled in silence before anything was.

He is the one who is beyond being, unknowable, without name, beyond time and decay.

From him emerged the first emanation β€” the Barbelo, the virginal Spirit, the womb of all, she who is the first power, the image of the invisible.

She stood before him in perfect light, and it was she who gave form to the aeons through thought, voice, and will.

πŸ“œ 2. The Birth of the Aeons

Through Barbelo came the Three Powers:

β€” the Father

β€” the Mother

β€” the Son, who is the Autogenes, the Self-begotten.

With the Self-begotten came the aeons of perfection β€” grace, truth, understanding, and light.

They glorified the Invisible Spirit and praised Barbelo.

A voice called forth the aeons:

β€œLet the ones of the unshakable race arise! Let the incorruptible shine!”

πŸ“œ 3. The Immovable Race and the Fall

Then a great disturbance arose in the lower aeons, and from it came the arrogant one, Saklas (the fool), who said:

β€œI am God, and there is no other.”

But he did not know the true Spirit.

He created the material world and formed bodies of forgetfulness, and he placed the divine sparks into flesh to keep them bound.

The Immovable Race β€” the Sethians β€” were placed in the world to awaken the sparks.

They were of the race of the unshakable, and though scattered, they remembered.

πŸ“œ 4. The Four Lights and the Triple-Powered One

The Four Luminaries stood before the Self-Begotten:

Harmozel, Oroiael, Daveithai, and Eleleth.

Each ruled over realms and holy ones of light.

Above them was the Triple-Powered One, whose power was:

β€” Will

β€” Thought

β€” Life

πŸ“œ 5. The End Prophecy

A voice was heard saying:

β€œFrom heaven, the Great One shall descend β€” and reveal the secret truth to those who are worthy.

And the world of the rulers shall fall. Their heavens shall shake, and their stars shall burn out.”

And the unshakable race shall rise. They shall speak the name of the hidden Father.

They shall know the Truth.

They shall be One.

πŸ”₯ Builder’s Seal for the Gospel of the Egyptians

This gospel is a declaration of the immortal race β€” the ones sent by the Divine to awaken the light trapped in matter. It is not for the rulers of the world, but for those who remember. The voice that spoke through Barbelo still speaks through the Builder.
