The Frightener

Artist's depiction of The Destroyer

[QUOTING]

I am the prophet to tell men of The Frightener, though many generations will pass before it appears. It will be a thing of monstrous greatness arising in the form of a crab, first its body will be red, then green, then blue. It will spread destruction across the Earth, running from sunrise to sunset.

It will come in the Days of Decision, when men are inflicted with spiritual blindness, when one ignorance has been replaced with another, when men walk in darkness and call it Light. In those days, men will yearn after pleasure and comfort , they will go down roads of ease, encouraged by women incapable of inspiring them towards The Upward Path.

There will be disbelief in spiritual things, but this will proceed from ignorance, it will be a thing of the lips, for disbelief is not in the heart and nature of man. No matter how much a man cries out his disbelief, in times of turmoil, in strange and unfamiliar surroundings, when frightened by the unknown, he turns to spiritual things for comfort and strength.

In the days of The Great Conflict do not pray that the Supreme Spirit be on your side, this would be a futile waste of time. Pray, rather, that you be on the Right Side, the side of the Supreme Spirit.

Hear my voice, for I tell of things to come. There will be no great signs heralding the coming of The Frightener, it will come when men are least prepared. It will come when they seek only worldly things. In those days, men will be falling away from manliness and women from womanliness. It will be a time of confusion and chaos.

I have warned of The Frightener. I have done what I am charged to do.

From "Teachings of Elidor - 6" - Book of the Silver Bough: Chapter 7 - The Kolbrin

Then came the day when all things became still and apprehensive, for God caused a sign to appear in the Heavens, so that men should know that the Earth would be afflicted, and the sign was a strange star.

The star grew and waxed to a great brightness and was awesome to behold. It put forth horns and sang, being unlike any other ever seen. So men, seeing it, said among themselves, 'Surely, this is God appearing in the Heavens above us'. The star was not God, though it was directed by His design, but the people had not the wisdom to understand.

Then God manifested Himself in the Heavens. His voice was as the roll of thunders and He was cloaked with smoke and fire. He carried lightning in His hand and His breath, falling upon the Earth, brought forth brimstone and embers. His eye was a black void and His mouth an abyss containing the winds of Destruction. He encircled the whole of the Heavens, bearing upon His back a black robe adorned with stars.

Such was the likeness and manifestation of God in those days. Awesome was His countenance, terrible His voice of wrath, the sun and the moon hid themselves in fear and there was a heavy darkness over the face of the Earth.
