Don’t procrastinate in repenting and doing the will of
the Father. It might be too late, before you know it, you’re soul is coming out
of your body to be handed your judgment. You will be barred from coming into
the light and you will be cast out into the outer darkness where there is howling
and gnashing of teeth.

Mary continued again and said unto the Saviour:
"My Lord, if the faith and the mysteries shall have revealed
themselves,--now, therefore, if souls come into the world in many circuits and
are neglectful of receiving mysteries, hoping that, if they come into the world
at any other circuit, they will receive them, will they not then be in danger . of not succeeding in receiving the
mysteries?"
Of those who procrastinate, saying they
have many births before them.
The Saviour answered and said unto his disciples:
"Herald unto the whole world and say unto men: Strive thereafter that ye
may receive the mysteries of the Light in this time of affliction and enter into
the Light-kingdom. Join not one day to another, or one circuit to another,
hoping that ye may succeed in receiving the mysteries if ye come into the world
in another circuit.
"And these know not when the number of the
perfect souls will be at hand; for if the number of the perfect souls shall be
at hand, I will now shut the gates of the Light, and no one from this hour
onwards will enter in, nor will any one hereafter go forth, for the number of
the perfect souls is completed and the mystery of the First Mystery is
completed, for the sake of which the universe hath arisen,--that is: I am that
Mystery.
Of the time of the completion
."And
from this hour onwards no one will be able to enter into the Light and no one
be able to go forth. For at the completion of the time of the number of the
perfect souls, before I have set fire to the world, in order that it may purify
the æons and the veils and the firmaments and the whole earth and also all the
matters which are on it, mankind will be
still existing.
Those who procrastinate are excluded from
the Light."
At that time then the faith will reveal itself still
more and the mysteries in those days. And many souls will come by means of the
circuits of the changes of the body, and coming back into the world are some of
those in this present time who have hearkened unto me, how I taught, who at the
completion of the number of the perfect souls will find the mysteries of the
Light and receive them and come to the gates of the Light and find that the
number of the perfect souls is complete, which is the completion of the First
Mystery and the gnosis of the universe. And they will find that I have shut the
gates of the Light and that it is impossible that any one should enter in or
that any one should go forth from this hour.
Their entreaties at the gates of Light
Those souls then will knock at the gates of the Light,
saying: Lord, open unto us! And I will answer unto them: I know you not, whence
ye are. And they will say unto me: We have received of thy mysteries and fulfilled
thy whole teaching and thou hast taught us on the high ways. And I will answer
and say unto them: I know you not, who ye are, ye who are doers of iniquity and
of evil even unto now. Wherefor go into the outer darkness. And from that hour they will go into the outer
darkness, there where is howling and grinding of teeth.
"For this cause then, herald unto the whole world
and say unto them: 'Strive thereafter, to renounce the whole world and the
whole matter therein, that ye may receive the mysteries of the Light before the
number of the perfect souls is completed, in order that they may not make you
stop before the gates of the Light and. lead you away into the outer darkness.'
"Now, therefore, who hath ears to hear, let him
hear."
Mary interpreteth the same.
When then the Saviour had said this, Mary started
forward again and said: "My Lord, not only hath my light-man ears, but my
soul hath heard and understood all the words which thou sayest. Now, therefore,
my Lord, concerning the words which thou hast spoken: 'Herald unto the men of
the world and say unto them: Strive thereafter, to receive the mysteries of the
Light, in this time of affliction, that ye may inherit the Light-kingdom. . . .
