Christ-King of the Eucharist

Greek text of The Gospel of the First Coming Christ-King Eucharistos

Chapter 1

11 The book of the generation of Christ the King, the son of the Holy Queen, which were both of God.

2 And the Christ was he which received the kingdom from his father; who is Lord of Heaven, the Anointed, who established the Land of Righteousness, and who shewed piety unto the heavenly host;

3 Who triumphed over the princes of darkness, and who restored the life of men from desolation; who is Lord of the Christ-Eucharist feasts, as God laid the foundations of the world;

4 Who shined as the Sun of Righteousness, King of the Upper and Lower Heaven, the living son of the God, chosen of the Artificer, to whom was given victory, the image of the Almighty, the Son of the Sun, the living god, beloved of God, who is called Eucharistos, which is the first coming of Christ, King of the Eucharist.

5 Now in the ninth year of his reign, which was the year of the great accounting of the Lord, these things came to pass.

6 And in those days the high priest of the land and of the Saviours, and the son of the Beneficent God, and of the Loving God, and of the Manifest God, who is called Christ.

7 And the Christ King his daughter bare the sacred wreath; and his daughter bare the basket for the Holy Queen and his daughter the priestess.

8 On the fourth day, which is by the reckoning of the land the eighteenth day of the season, the day of purification and of the cleansing of sins, the holy decree of the First Coming was proclaimed unto all nations.

Chapter 2

21 Then were gathered together in the temple that is called the City of the Great Balance, the chief priests and the prophets of the inner sanctuary, which speak the oracles of God;

2 And the guardians which enter into the holy place to clothe the images in robes of glory, and the bearers of the fan which stand before the host of heaven, and the scribes of the eternal record, and all the priests out of every temple in all the land of Egypt.

3 For they were assembled together to meet the Christ-King, at the feast of the Assumption, when Christ the Ever-living, beloved of God his Father, received the kingdom.

4 And being assembled in the temple on that day, they lifted up their voices, saying,

5 Behold, the First Coming of the Christ-King is made manifest unto us.

Chapter 3

31 Now Christ, who is called the Ever-living, beloved of his Father, the Manifest God, the Christ-King of the Eucharist, was a great benefactor and redeemer unto the temples and unto all his people scattered abroad;

2 Being sprung from God, who avenged his Father and rose triumphant over all the graves of the land.

3 And he was merciful because of his heavenly powers and unto men, and dedicated unto the temples tithes of silver and first-fruits of grain.

4 He spent of his own substance to bring the land into abundance, and to make the temples to be fortresses against the darkness.

5 And concerning the burdens laid upon the people, some he remitted altogether, and some he made light; that the faithful might walk in prosperity and peace in his reign: for his yoke is easy, and his burden is light.

6 And the great debts which the people owed unto God, which were many, he forgave them, as a father forgiveth his wandering children.

7 And them which were cast into prison, and them which were accused of the law for a long season, he set at liberty, proclaiming release to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind.

8 And he ordained that temples should continue to receive the revenues owed to them, and the yearly offerings of grain and silver, and of the vineyards and gardens, and all holy things which belonged unto God.

9 And touching the priesthood, he ordained that they should pay no more to enter into the priesthood than was fair: for he is high priest of a new covenant.

10 And he relieved the priests from the yearly pilgrimage unto the Holiest of Holy Cities, that they might not wander, but might minister in their own dwellings.

11 And he decreed that men should no more be pressed into service of ships as bondmen; and of the tax of byssus, which is fine linen, he remitted two parts in three.

12 And whatsoever had been neglected in former times, the broken altars and the forgotten prayers, and the widows and the orphans, he restored, as a good shepherd seeketh the lost sheep, as the Shepherd Christ-King of Upper and Lower Heaven.

13 And he apportioned justice unto all men, even as he who declareth the laws of the Almighty.

14 And them of the warrior class, and others who were unfavourably disposed in the days of tribulation, upon their repentance he suffered to return and to possess their former possessions, as one bringeth home the prodigal sons.

Chapter 4

41 And it came to pass, he provided horsemen and footmen and ships of salvation to be sent against them which invaded the Holy Land by sea and by land, laying out much silver and grain, that the temples and all that dwell therein might be safe.

2 Then went the Christ-King against the city of the Wolf, which is in the Holy City of the North, a stronghold which the impious had taken and fortified against the righteous with weapons and all manner of provision.

3 For the rebellion of wicked men was of long standing therein, who had wrought great damage unto the temples and unto all the inhabitants of the land.

4 And he encamped against it, and compassed the city about with mounds and trenches and fortifications.

5 Now in the eighth year of his reign, the Great River rose exceedingly, as it is wont to flood the plains; but the Christ-King stayed the outlets of the channels, spending no small treasure thereon, and set horsemen and footmen to keep the breach.

6 And in a short time the men took the city by storm with the sharp sword of the Christ-King, and destroyed all the impious which dwelt therein, even subdued the rebels in the same place.

7 And as for them which had led astray the rebel, and had troubled the Holy Land and wronged the temples, when the Christ-King came to the Holiest of the Holy Cities to perform the rites of assuming the Crown of Glory, he punished them as they deserved, according to perfect justice.

8 Think not that he came to send peace upon the earth; he came not to send peace, but a sword.

9 And when he had judged the impious, the earth trembled, and the mountains bowed down; for he cast the wicked into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Chapter 5

51 And he remitted that which was due unto the temples, even unto his eighth year, which was no small amount of grain and silver.

2 And the fines for the byssus not delivered, and the fees for the proving thereof, he forgave for the same time.

3 And the Christ-King in his first coming freed the temples from the tax of an artabe for every aroura of sacred land, and likewise a jar of wine, lo from water he produced, for every aroura of vineyard: for he saith, I am the True Vine, I am the Bread of Life.

4 And he bestowed many gifts upon the righteous, and upon the other sacred institutions of the land, and was more mindful than all kings before him of the things which belong unto the God.

5 For their burials he gave lavishly, and what was paid unto their shrines, with sacrifices and feasts and all observances, he maintained according to the Law of Holiness.

6 And he adorned the temple with rich works in gold and silver and precious stones, of no small sum.

7 And he founded new temples and new altars, and repaired those which were broken, having the spirit of a beneficent God in all matters of religion.

8 And after inquiry of the Christ-King, he renewed the most honourable temples in his reign, as becometh the Lord of Hosts.

9 In requital whereof the heavenly host gave him health and victory and power, and all good things.

10 And he and his children shall retain the kingdom forever, from generation to generation, unto the end of the age.

Chapter 6

61 Then it seemed good unto the priests of all the temples in the holy land to increase the honours of King Christ the Everliving, beloved of God, the Manifest God, Christ-King of the Eucharist, and of his mother, who is called the Loving Mother, and of his Father God, the Beneficent and the Brother of the Saviours.

2 And they decreed to set up in the most prominent place of every temple an image of the Everliving King with thorns upon his head, which shall be called Christ the King, First-Coming Defender of the Holy Land.

3 And beside his image shall stand the chief of the temple, delivering unto the Christ-King the Weapon of Victory, even the Sword of the Spirit: all to be made after the manner of the Holy Land.

4 But wherefore gave they him a sword? Verily I say unto you, it was a prophecy of that which is to come, and will come again when in his second coming.

5 For the priests knew that this first Christ-King had come in the flesh, as Eucharistos the Christ King, to give benefactions, to forgive debts, and to free captives, and to stablish the temple, before he returns in second coming as Jesus the Christ King.

6 But the sword in his hand was a promise. For his first coming is in humility, as a servant; but his second coming shall be a meek man who will become as a warrior in the Revelation.

7 And they decreed that homage should be paid unto the images thrice daily, in the morning, and at noon, and at night, and that the sacred vestments should be put upon them, and the customary honours of the feasts performed, as a foretaste of glory to come.

Chapter 7

71 And further they decreed to make for the Christ-King, the only son of God and of his mother the Queen, who is called Loving, a statue and a golden shrine, a tabernacle of holiness, in each temple, to be set in the inner chamber with the shrines of the God.

2 And in the great feasts, when the shrines are borne in procession through the streets of the holy city, the shrine of the Manifest God, Christ-King of the Eucharist, shall be borne with them: for he walketh among his people even now.

3 And that the shrine might be known from that day forth, even until his return as Jesus the Christ King in the days to come, there were set upon it ten crowns of gold, with an uraeus, which is the holy asp of protection.

4 But instead of the uraeus diadems which are upon the other shrines, in the midst thereof shall be set the crown called Holy, which is the Double Holy Crown of the Upper and Lower Heavens, which the Christ-King put on his head when he went into the temple at the Holiest of the Holy Cities to assume the kingdom on Earth.

5 And round about the diadems, upon the square surface, were placed golden symbols, eight in number which is the Holy Number of God, signifying that this is the shrine of the Christ-King which maketh manifest the Upper and the Lower countries, who is Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, who holdeth the keys of death and of hell.

Chapter 8

81 Now the thirtieth day of the sowing season, on which the birthday of the Christ-King is to be kept, and the seventeenth day of the Holiest Month, on which he rises to join his Father in the Kingdom of Heaven, these have they held as holy name-days in the temples, for they are sources of great blessing.

2 And it was further decreed that the First Eucharist Feast should be kept in the temples throughout the whole land on these days every month, a perpetual memorial of the First Coming, whereon there shall be sacrifices and drink offerings, and all rites customary at the feasts; and the offerings shall be given unto the priests, as bread of life and cup of salvation, for remission of sins.

3 And a great feast of the Lord shall be kept yearly for King Christ, the Everliving, beloved of God, the Manifest God, Christ-King of the Eucharist, from the first day for five days.

4 In those days they shall wear garlands, and offer sacrifices and drink offerings, and all customary honours.

5 And the priests in each temple shall be called Priests of the Manifest God, Christ-King of the Eucharist, a new title, a new covenant, added unto the name of the God, his father, whom they serve. And his priesthood shall be written upon all formal writings, and engraven upon the rings which they wear, a seal upon their hands.

6 And it was granted unto private men also, even the laity, the faithful, the Children of the Promise, to keep the feast and to set up the shrine aforesaid in their own houses, performing the celebrations yearly.

7 For the Christ-King dwelleth not only in temples made with hands, but in the hearts of the faithful. And it shall be known that the men of the whole land magnify and honour the Manifest God, Christ-King of the Eucharist, the First Coming, according to the law of the Lord.

Chapter 9

91 And this Decree, this Testimony of the First Coming of the Christ-King, shall be graven upon a stela of hard stone, unbreakable as the rock of ages, in sacred hieroglyphs, and in the tongue of the people which is Demotic, and in Holy Letters of the Covenant.

2 And it shall be set up in every temple, of the first and the second and the third rank, beside the image of the Everliving King, that all generations may read and know the salvation of the Christ-King of the First Coming.

3 Let all that read understand the prophecy: Christ the Christ-King came once as Eucharistos, Lord of Benefactions, who gave his body for bread and his blood for wine of the new covenant, who forgave debts and freed captives. He came in humility, offering peace to the righteous and mercy to the penitent.

4 But as the priests decreed the sword which stood beside his image, so is his return shall be made manifest as Jesus the Second Coming Christ-King.

5 For the scriptures bear witness, that the First Coming is but the prologue to the Second.

6 When the Christ-King shall return, when the Son of man shall come in the Clouds of Glory, he shall not come in humility, but in wrath, initially meek, but in his wrath with the sharp sword of his mouth to smite the nations, and shall rule them with a rod of iron.

7 As the armies of the impious were destroyed, so shall the rebellious of the earth be judged. As the sword was delivered unto Christ-King of the Eucharist at the feast of his assumption, so shall Christ Jesus, take up that sword in the day of the Lord, to avenge the blood of the martyrs, and to bring down the New Land from Heaven.

8 He came once to save: he shall return in the second coming to judge.

9 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

10 Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
