For those keeping track, we last left off at Section Three — Part One. Since there is no Section Three – Part Two (perhaps it will be revealed at a later time?), we now resume at Section Three — Part Three.

Book of Revelations by Fred C. Collier Part 3
Section Two — Part Five
Cain and his children were the first to bring about Prostitution, Beastiality, Homosexuality, Music (which they used for Evil), Brass, Iron, and Implements of war. They were the first to create Secret Societies to get Gain through Murder and Enslave the Nations through Money.

Section Two — Part Two
The universe and six principles have always existed and will always exist. Creation is really just organizing that which already exists. The concept of creation from nothing is of Satan.

Fred C. Collier’s Church of the Firstborn is a spliter group of another Church of the Firstborn, also known as the LeBaron family, which is a Mormon polygamist group. According to Wikipedia, there were only about 100 members of Collier’s sect in 2004. So why am I bothering to give a summary of Collier’s Book of Revelations when it’s obviously so obscure? Honestly, the fact that it’s obscure is part of why I’m interested in it. Also, perhaps owing to my own Mormon upbringing, I find the idea of people continuing to write new scriptures up to the present day fascinating.

Continuing my review of the Ang Aklatan…
We’re told three letters regarding Jesus Christ are included, but there appear to be only two and neither of them are written in the form of a letter.
The Gospel written by Angulu
Angulu was chosen of God at ten years of age, despite his father not being a believer in Christ. He’s told to go to Jerona. When he attains manhood at age twelve, he travels to Jerson. During the journey, he rests by the side of the stream Taborong and sees a rather Freudian vision of a rod of a tree sprouting up and a handmaiden taking hold of the rod. The rod of the tree divides a fertile land. A great tree, representing a prophet, arises out of the land, bearing fruit.

Continuing my review of the Ang Aklatan…
The Book of Ahkman
The introduction tells us the remaining chapters of the Book of Ahkman have yet to be published, so we’ll have to stay tuned for that. Unlike Suran, this is written in the first person. It gives a list of children and grandchildren of Suran. Unlike the Book of Mormon, the daughters are named.

Through a series of dreams, Elisha M. Enoc translated the Aklatan from a set of copper sheets he discovered after having a vision. The Aklatan contains a record of the ancient history of the Philippines, Taiwan, and Borneo and Christ’s visitation to the ancient people of these islands, just as the Book of Mormon describes the ancient history of America and Christ’s visit to those people. While all the books of the Aklatan have been translated, not all have been published yet.
Continue readingAn Abridgment of the Record of Lehi
When Joseph Smith first started writing the Book of Mormon, he began with the Book of Lehi. However, the Book of Lehi was stolen and has never been recovered. Fortunately, Lehi’s son, Nephi, gives an abridgement of the Book of Lehi (in The First Book of Nephi), so we pretty much know what was in it.
Continue readingThe Word of the Lord by Harry Edgar Baker
There are three different texts titled The Word of the Lord used by different Mormon splinter groups. One was written by Otto Fetting between 1927-1933. Another was written by William Draves starting in 1933. However, I could find next to nothing online about about the text written by Harry Edgar Baker between 1916 to 1918. Wikipedia mentions the other two books sharing this title, but not this earlier one.
