CHAPTER 26

These things were now fully completed before their
power diminished within them, and they declined and they
weakened or they became powerless. It happened when they
became weak, their power began to cease within them, and
they became weak in their power. And their light, which
was in their place, ceased. And their kingdom dissolved.
And the All was quickly carried up.
It happened now when these things in their time were
known, and when the number of the cipher of Melchizedek,
the Paralemptor (of the Light), occurred, he came forth,
and he went into the midst of the archons of all the aeons,
and to the midst of all the archons of the Heimarmene and
those of the sphere. And he agitated them, and he caused
them quickly to abandon their circles, and immediately they
were afflicted, and they cast the power out of themselves,
out of the breath of their mouths, and out of the tears of
their eyes, and out of the sweat of their bodies. And Melchi-
zedek, the Paralemptor of the Light purified them, according
to the manner in which he did so continually. And he took
their light to the Treasury of the Light. And the matter of
their dregs was surrounded and swallowed by all the archons
of the aeons and the archons of the Heimarmene and those
of the sphere, and they did not allow them to go and become
souls in the world. They now swallowed their matter, that
they might not become powerless and weak, that their
power might not cease within them and their rulership
(kingdom) dissolve. And they swallowed them so that they
should not dissolve, but that they should be retarded, and
should spend a great time until the completion of the number
of perfect souls which would be in the Treasury of the Light.
