Well said Duncun.

This facsimile was not fully translated by Smith. The glyphs within them hold the pure doctrines of salvation and have the power to make you worthy to enter into the presence of Christ and live. You have to live them to understand them, right here, right now.

Line number 8 (which everyone who studies this facsimile seems to gravitate to because of the "temple knowledge" it holds) is merely an admonition by Abraham to live the laws that the members of the LDS church covenant to obey in the temple. They are under obligation not to disclose or divulge certain signs and tokens, but they can freely discuss the laws they covenant to (together with the blessings given by the washing and anointings). But even better than talking about them is to live them!

The glyphs in line 8 represent the law of the Lord, law of the sacrifice, the law of obedience (or the law of the gospel), the law of chastity, and the law of consecration. If you can obey those laws and incorporate them into your life you will live more in tune with the way that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ live--and will become more like them. More than any other lifestyle ever conceived on this planet--I promise you that...

Line 8 segways into line 22 which means that if you so live your life you will be raised up to the right hand of God and given priesthood power (symbolized by the staff), and that through the power of the Holy Ghost you are sealed up to life eternal (represented by the glyphs immediately above the staff and above the right arm).

This is knowledge that people must live to know. LDS members do not live the law of consecration in any appreciable degree anymore. They corrupted the doctrine in Smith's time (Smith was inconsolable about this) and were given a lesser law (the tithe), and they are still under condemnation per their very own Doctrine and Covenants regarding that matter. To be sure they share much with the needy, but they simply refuse to give up their worldly idols and live in true harmony with each other.

Most LDS do not read and do not care much for the sacred writings of the facsimile you've shared. I will not tell you what the remainder of the facsimile says, but will only share this, that the law of consecration is to be obeyed if LDS members wish to conform to the society and economy of heaven. If they truly want to "know Him when He comes again, because they will be like him". The LDS members are currently money-loving idol worshippers and a corporate-driven religionist, and obedience to the law of consecration is the only way for them to purge themselves of this tendancy while here on earth. They will continue to walk in confusion--notwithstanding their good deeds--until they finally conform to the ways of heaven.

This facsimile comes from papyrus writings. The papyrus writing, as old as it is, was only a later copy of the original plate that was written by the hand of Abraham as he sojourned in Eygpt. Tests have shown the papyrus writing to be about 2000 to 2500 years old. Abraham lived about 4000 to 4500 years ago.

Anyone interested in this facsmile must live its Christlike doctrines to understand it. You must covenant to live in a manner that Jesus Christ and the true disciples of Jesus Christ lived. If you do that, you will be happy (although it will be difficult at times). If you do that--every mystery contained in that facsimile must become yours.
