over all the emanations of the Light and over the whole number of the perfect souls
who have received all mysteries."

CHAPTER 99
1. It came to pass, when Jesus had finished speaking these words unto his disciples, that

Mary Magdalene came forward and said: "My Lord, how many years of the years of the
world is a year of the Light?"
2. Jesus answered and said unto Mary: "A day of the Light is a thousand years in the world,
so that thirty-six-myriads of years and a half-myriad of years of the world are a single

year of the Light.
3. "I shall, therefore, pass a thousand years of the Light being king in the midst of the last
Helper, and being king over all the emanations of the Light and over the whole number
of the perfect souls who have received the mysteries of the Light.
4. "And ye, my disciples, and every one who shall receive the mystery of the Ineffable, will
abide with me on my right and on my left, being kings with me in my kingdom.

5. "And they who shall receive the three mysteries of that Ineffable, will be fellow-kings
with you in the Light-kingdom; but they will not be alike with you and with those who
receive the mystery of the Ineffable, but they will rather abide behind you, being kings.
6. "And they who receive the five mysteries of the Ineffable, will also abide behind the

three mysteries, being also kings.
7. "And moreover they who receive the twelfth mystery of the First Mystery, will also
again abide behind the five mysteries of the Ineffable, being also kings according to the
order of every one of them.
8. "And all who receive of the mysteries in all the regions of the space of the Ineffable, will
also be kings and abide before those who receive the mystery of the First Mystery,

expanded according to the glory of every one of them, so that those who receive the
higher mysteries, will abide in the higher regions, and those who receive the lower
mysteries, will abide in the lower regions, being kings in the light of my kingdom.
9. "These alone are the allotment of the kingdom of the first space of the Ineffable.

10. "They on the other hand who receive all the mysteries of the second space, that is of the
space of the First Mystery, will again abide in the light of my kingdom, expanded
according to the glory of every one of them, and every one of them being in the mystery
up to which he hath received. And those who receive the higher mysteries, will also
abide in the higher regions, and those who receive the lower mysteries, will abide in the

lower regions in the light of my kingdom.
