The Glad Tidings of Nikódemos 24

1. And Yâ-hwéh stretching forth His hand, said: "Come unto me, all ye My pure ones which bear My image and My likeness. Ye that by the `ëts (gallows-cross) and by the accuser and by death were condemned, look now at the accuser and the death condemned by the ëts (gallows-cross)." And forthwith all the pure ones were gathered in one under the hand of Yâ-hwéh. And Yâ-hwéh holding the right hand of the dirt-man (’âthâ´m), said unto him: "Peace is for you with all your sons that are My righteous ones." But the dirt-man (’âthâ´m), spilling tears, cast himself at the feet of Yâ-hwéh, and said with a loud voice: "I will magnify you, O Yâ-hwéh, for You have set me up and not allowed my foes to triumph over me forever: 'O Yâ-hwéh my Power!' I cried unto You and You have cured me; Yâ-hwéh, You have brought my self (néphesh) out of sh’ówl, You have delivered me, not leaving me with them that descend to the pit. Sing praises unto Yâ-hwéh all ye pure ones of His, and profess Him for the record of His Pureness. For there is wrath in His indignation, but life is in His will." [Yâhuwchânâ´n's Glad Tidings 6:40] In like manner all the pure ones of the Power kneeled and cast themselves at the feet of Yâ-hwéh, saying with one voice: "You have arrived, O Redeemer of the world: You have accomplished in deed that which You did foretell by the Law and by Your preilluminators. You have redeemed the living by your gallows-cross, and by the death of the gallows-cross You have come down unto us, so that You might deliver us out of sh’ówl and death through Your Majesty. So our Sovereign, just as You have established the name of Your Worth in the heavens and established Your gallows-cross for a symbol of redemption upon the earth, so, Yâ-hwéh, establish in sh’ówl the sign of the victory of Your gallows-cross, that death may have no more dominion!" 2. And Yâ-hwéh stretched forth His hand and made the sign of the gallows-cross on the dirt-man (’âthâ´m) and over all His pure ones (22), and He took the right hand of the dirt-man (’âthâ´m) and went up out of sh’ówl, and all the pure ones followed Him. Then did the preilluminator Dâwíth cry aloud and say: "Sing unto Yâ-hwéh a new song because He has worked extraordinary things! His right Hand has worked deliverance for Him, and Yâ-hwéh has made known the Sowing-Arm of His Pureness is His deliverance, before the eyes of all the heathen masses He has revealed His righteousness!" [Songs 98:1-2] And the entire multitude of the pure ones answered, saying: "’Âmë´n, This honor is for all His pure ones. Boastfully praise ye (Háleluw) Yâ´hu!" [Songs 149:9] 3. And thereafter Chavaqqúwq the preilluminator cried out and said: "You went forth for the deliverance of Your Anointed for the deliverance of Your people." [Chavaqqúwq 3:13] And all the pure ones answered, saying: "Blessed is he that comes in the name of Yâ-hwéh... The Power is Yâ-hwéh and He illuminates for us. [Songs 118:26-27] ’Âmë´n, Boastfully praise ye (Háleluw) Yâ´hu!" Likewise after that the preilluminator MiykhâYâ´hu also cried, saying: "What Power is like you, O Yâ-hwéh, taking away iniquity and removing errors? And now You withhold Your wrath for a testimony that You are kind of free will, and You do turn it away and have favor on us, You bear away all our iniquities and have sunk all our errors in the depths of the sea, as you swore unto our fathers in the days of old." [MiykhâYâ´hu 7:18-20] And all the pure ones answered, saying: "This is our Power forever and ever; He shall be our Guide, eternity without end. ’Âmë´n, Boastfully praise ye (Háleluw) Yâ´hu!" And thus spoke all the preilluminators, making mention of passages out of their songs dedicated to praising Yâ-hwéh, and all the pure ones followed Yâ-hwéh, crying "’Âmë´n, Boastfully praise ye (Háleluw) Yâ´hu!"

(22) Note that this sign is in Sh’ówl. On earth the symbol of our redemption is the gallows-cross (notably without any effigy mentioned). Although this theoretically could be a gesture which is common to Roman Catholics, this is more likely to be something else, as it is also found on the shoulders of the thief later in this scripture, and there it does not appear to be a gesture.
