Ang Aklatan; A Book About the History and Future of the Maharlika

The Aklatan will change your life, it has changed mine. – Jonalyn (Manila, Philippines).

Here is a brief summary of the Aklatan. The Aklatan is a translation of an ancient record that gives the history of the Philippines and surrounding lands in ancient times. This book predicts that in the future a nation called the Kingdom of Maharlika will be established. This website is to help share with people the information about this book.

Even though the Aklatan has deep religious themes, this is not about changing people’s religion. No body has to give up their religion to be part of this. The purpose is to unite people so that we can build this kingdom and establish a better future for ourselves.

A few months ago I was introduced to a document that has the potential to bring millions of people flocking to the Church. On the surface this document may seem a bit unusual or unfamiliar, but once you understand the details you can see the truth and importance of this document. The document to which I am referring is a book named the “Ang Aklatan.” Some of you may have heard about this book. You can visit the website here: http://angaklatan.wordpress.com To summarize, the Ang Aklatan is a translated ancient record of God’s works in the Philippines. It was translated in vision from April to November of 1987. The Ang Aklatan was first published in 2007. The term Ang Aklatan translates from Tagalog as “The Library.” The man who translated the Ang Aklatan goes by the name Elisha Enoc. He is a Filipino man who was raised in America. The first thing that should stand out to members of the Church is the relevance this book has for us. It is so relevant that we should have been expecting a book like this for a long time. Let’s look at a prophecy in the Book of Mormon: 2 Nephi 29:11 11 For I command all men, both in the east and in the west, and in the north, and in the south, and in the islands of the sea, that they shall write the words which I speak unto them; for out of the books which shall be written I will judge the world, every man according to their works, according to that which is written. 12 For behold, I shall speak unto the Jews and they shall write it; and I shall also speak unto the Nephites and they shall write it; and I shall also speak unto the other tribes of the house of Israel, which I have led away, and they shall write it; and I shall also speak unto all nations of the earth and they shall write it. It is clear that the Lord commanded the people of the islands of the sea to write His words. The Philippines is a island group of over seven thousand islands. If any country fits the description Islands of the Sea it is the Philippines. We know then, that it is not a matter of if a record will come from the Philippines, but when. Anyone who has seriously read the Book of Mormon should have been expecting a book like this for a long time. This is very important for us because this is yet another piece of evidence that confirms the Book of Mormon is the Word of God and that Joseph Smith was a true Prophet. The greatest piece of evidence a person can have is a witness from the Holy Ghost. What better confirmation for millions who have received, and will receive, such a witness than to see its prophecies coming to pass. The second thing that should stand out is the way that the Ang Aklatan came forth. A close examination of this process reveals more convincing information. In June 1986 Elisha Enoc had a vision of a stack of copper plates. Acts 2:17 17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: He later tried to find the cave where the plates were hidden. He found the cave but wasn’t able to get inside. On his way traveling back home he met an American man who was named Oleeha. This person is very important to determining the truthfulness of this record. In 1829 Oliver Cowdery tried to translate the Book of Mormon but was unable to. However the Lord promised him, in what would become Section 9 of the Doctrine and Covenants, that he would help to translate other records. D&C 9:2 2 And then, behold, other records have I, that I will give unto you power that you may assist to translate. This may seem to many anti-mormons to be a false prophecy because Oliver never helped in any other translations. However the name Oleeha is a clue to seeing the fulfillment of this prophecy. Originally the Doctrine and Covenants used codenames to refer to members of the church. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_code_names_in_the_Doctrine_an d_Covenants Oliver Cowdery’s code name was Olihah. This man Oleeha appears in both the physical realm and the visionary realm in relation to Elisha Enoc. He was the one who helped Elisha to translate the copper plates. It is my conclusion that Oleeha is really the post mortal Olihah or Oliver Cowdery. If this really is Oliver then we now can show that the Lord’s promise in section 9 was fulfilled. Oliver DID help in translating other ancient records. This is the Lord again confirming the truth of His work through the fulfillment of His prophecies. There are other elements of the coming forth of the Ang Aklatan that should be of interest to Latter-day Saints. In Elisha Enoc’s account of a vision of Jesus Christ the Lord tells him many interesting things. One of them that may be obscure to some but should stand out to any member of the Church is this: I asked him, “Why have you come to me?” He said, “I have come to call you to a special mission. For you shall be like unto Paul who was called as an apostle unto the gentiles. Wherefore he was not called to stand with my twelve Apostles but was called to stand in his own appointed place. So it shall be with you. Wherefore you shall preach and serve among my people among the isles of the sea, who have been prepared and preserved for a great and special purpose. Do not claim more authority than thou hast been given and beware of pride.” Christ describes Paul’s status in ancient times. He was not one of the twelve, yet he was called to witness to a specific group of people, namely the Gentiles. Then the Lord says, “So it shall be with you.” Meaning that Elisha Enoc is not called to stand with the Twelve Apostles, but is called to minister to a select group of people, the “people among the isles of the sea.” Which twelve Apostles today could Elisha Enoc not be called to stand with? Why would the Lord say this, unless He was referring to the Living Twelve Apostles of the Church today? Later in January of 1987 Elisha says he is preaching the bible in a place when three tall men approached him. These men baptized him and gave him the gift of the Holy Ghost. They also gave him the priesthood through the laying on of hands. It is interesting that this is clearly three people associated with the Church yet Elisha Enoc makes no mention of the Church. These three men could have been missionaries. I think that they were the three Nephites. The clue lies in that these three men could not tell him their names. 3 Nephi 28:25 25 Behold, I was about to write the names of those who were never to taste of death, but the Lord forbade; therefore I write them not, for they are hid from the world. This is a hallmark of the Three Nephites. Their names cannot be known. The rest of the coming forth involves Oleeha helping Elisha to translate the copper plates through dreams. The translation is complete on November 21, 1987. Elisha is commanded by Oleeha not to publish the translation for twenty years. During this time he was to “commence other works to help bring forth God’s purposes.” These things may seem amazing by themselves but the truth is we haven’t even gotten started yet. The third area that should be of interest to members of the Church is the text of the Ang Aklatan itself. Emphasis on temples. The first books of the Ang Aklatan have a HUGE emphasis on temples. The books go into detail on the construction of their temples. It even explains the ordinances they performed in their temples. The Book of Ahkman, Chapter 13 “And there are seven in all and they were known unto us as Washing, and Adoption, and Sacrifices, and the Teaching, and Marriage, and Ordination, and Healing. For these things were commanded unto us by the Lord. For they were commanded in the writings we had received. I shall hereafter explain these rites.” Understanding polygamy. One of the biggest questions for both Mormons and Non-mormons is “Why did the Lord command polygamy?” The Book of Ahkman also discusses a case where the Lord commanded polygamy. It even goes into a specific case of polygamy that was required to bring forth a chosen descendant of one man. It doesn’t answer all questions but it does give additional insight into polygamy. Homosexuality. In the Book of Arakim There is the son of a prophet named Kodan. He is described as, “greatly confused for his desire was not unto women as with other men but his desire was unto men.” The Lord then teaches Kodan the purpose for his being this way. The Lord explains what is an isn’t sin in regards to homosexuality. Kodan is able to overcome temptations in his life and eventually serves as a prophet. This chapter alone may be reason why this book has come forth at this time. Many people have been waiting for the Lord to directly speak about homosexuality. This is it. This chapter will bring comfort for millions who seek to understand the Lord’s views on homosexuality. Testify of Lehi. There is a Book of Strangers which has some interesting correlation to the Book of Mormon. This first chapter is this: CHAPTER 1 I, whose name is Maunea, do write the history of my people. And I know not if it is true or false. But I know that these stories are important for my children. And my father had told unto me stories about our ancestors who did travel from a far land. And our ancestor whose name was Elhia was spoken unto by God and he did take is tribe out of their homeland. And they did travel many years until they came unto a great sea. And God did send down a boat from heaven which did carry the tribe across the great sea. And God did deliver these people unto a new land. And there were many tribes in the land and their tribe did spread in the land. Now because of these other tribes they did become mixed and their tribe was diluted. And there was a division among the tribe. Now I know not if these things are true for there are many things that seem to be impossible. This seems to read as a corrupted oral tradition of the story of Lehi. Elhia could be Lehi. The boat sent down from heaven could be the inspired boat design built by Nephi. It also talks of the division of the tribes. This could be the separation of the Lamanites and Nephites. The next chapter mention a righteous man and a king killed by flame. This could be Abinadi and King Noah. There are other correlations in Chapter three. In Chapter three and four a “great father Hagat” leads some people. They build boats and travel away. This is clearly a corrupted reference to Hagoth. The rest of the book goes on to explain that these people eventually made it to the Philippines after many generations. This would explain how the stories could become corrupted into their form in this book. Christ’s Visit. We know Christ visited the Ancient Americas, but we also know that Christ visited still other sheep. 3 Nephi 16 1 And verily, verily, I say unto you that I have other sheep, which are not of this land, neither of the land of Jerusalem, neither in any parts of that land round about whither I have been to minister. The Lesser Gospel Written by Buka gives an account of Christ’s visit to the ancient people of the Philippines. He ministered and shared the same Gospel that his did in Jerusalem and Ancient America. God of Nature Suffers. In 1st Nephi there is a prophecy that because of the destruction at the time of the death of Christ, the kings of the isles of the sea will proclaim that the God of nature suffers. 1 Nephi 19 12 And all these things must surely come, saith the prophet Zenos. And the rocks of the earth must rend; and because of the groanings of the earth, many of the kings of the isles of the sea shall be wrought upon by the Spirit of God, to exclaim: The God of nature suffers. There is an interesting sentence in the Lesser Gospel Written by Buka: The Lesser Gospel Written by Buka, Chapter 1 “And the Spirit of God came upon King Linurang. And he did exit his house and proclaim, with a loud voice saying, The god, which is the god of nature doth suffer.” We have established that the Philippines qualifies as the isles of the sea. So a king of the isles of the sea exclaimed “The god, which is the god of nature doth suffer.” This occurrence is an exact fulfillment of the prophecy of Zenos. The fourth area that should be of interest is the evidence supporting the Ang Aklatan. There is archeological evidence to support the Ang Aklatan. There are also prophecies in the Ang Aklatan that have been fulfilled. Prophecies concerning world history and great wars have been fulfilled. For more details on this you can visit their website: http://angaklatan.wordpress.com/evidence I’ve explained a vast number of the correlations between the Book of Mormon and the Ang Aklatan. These things might not be obvious to Non-members, but to Members of the true Church they are clear. It is plain that this book is a fulfillment of prophecy and an important part of this latter-day work. It is my belief that this book has come forth at this specific time because it is part of God’s plan. He caused this book to be preserved and translated. I have prayed about the Ang Aklatan and the Lord has confirmed to me that it is true. It can do miracles when used in connection with the Book of Mormon. I have talked about the Ang Aklatan with some of my non-member friends. They agreed that it sounded interesting and would look in to it. I told them about some of the connections I’ve explained here and they decided they would finally give the Book of Mormon a chance. Another friend I actually bought a copy of the Ang Aklatan for and gave it to him. He read it and we talked about it. In our discussion I explained these things and he agreed to read the Book of Mormon. Long story short, he and his family were baptized. There are at four people I personally know who are members of the Church, and three more who are investigating the Church because of the Ang Aklatan. I don’t know what that status of this group is that publishes the Ang Aklatan is in regards to the Church. But I do know that I have had some great missionary success with this book. It runs perfectly together with the Book of Mormon and the Bible. Heavenly Father’s Words truly are powerful. Many members of the Church might be worried about this book because it didn’t come from the President of the Church. But I think this is clearly explained in Elisha Enoc’s calling. Many sacred texts have come forth outside of the President of the Church. The Dead Sea Scrolls are one example. What is important is that in order for the Ang Aklatan to be considered scripture it needs to be approved by the Prophet. We need to ask President Monson to pray and see if the Lord wants the Ang Aklatan approved as scripture. I think it would be very interesting if members of the Church who have read this could share it with their Church Leaders. I don’t know if this book has come to the knowledge of the Church or not. We should ask our local leaders to find out more information about this. It needs to be handled through the proper Priesthood channels. Maybe an official Church representative can contact this Elisha Enoc and learn more. It would be amazing for President Monson to approve this book as scripture. Just think of the power this book would have in helping bring people to the knowledge of the truth. People will be able to see the fulfillment of Book of Mormon prophecies. They will be able to find answers to questions. And most importantly they will have a confirmation of the witness they received of the Book of Mormon. From personal experience I know that people who never would have given the Church the chance are now faithful Latter-day Saints because of the Ang Aklatan. I’m sure you’ve felt the Spirit as I’ve discussed the fulfillment of these things. This Spirit has strongly testified to be of the truth and importance of the Ang Aklatan. I think you will feel the Spirit too as well as you read and pray about it.. Please share this article with as many people as you can especially your Bishop and other Church leaders. Perhaps somehow this amazing book will become accepted by the Prophet as scripture and millions can be blessed by its words. I testify that this is the Lord’s work. He runs His only true Church through Thomas S. Monson. The Bible, the Book of Mormon, the Ang Aklatan, and all other Latter-day scriptures are true. Joseph Smith was a true Prophet and so is our living Prophet Thomas S. Monson. I leave this witness with you in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. http://newmormonscripture.wordpress.com About An ancient record discovered in the Philippines that seems to support the Book of Mormon and the Church.

Monson will announce the acceptance of the Aklatan as scripture. A sustaining vote of this action will be called and it is expected that members of the Church will excitedly support the acceptance of this new addition to the Standards Works. The Aklatan was discovered in the Philippines on a set of copper plates. It was translated in 1987 by a Filipino man named Elisha Enoc. The work has attracted a large following among Filipinos and it is thought that many of these people will become serious investigators of the Church. Elder Jeffrey R. Holland said, “We live in a time of miracles. God is fulfilling His promises which He has given through the Holy Scriptures.” After this book came to the attention of Church authorities it was soon decided that the rights to the book should be purchased. In addition to the book, several artifacts, including the original copper plates, where also purchased. According to a web page devoted to the new scripture posted Thursday night on lds.org, “these artifacts include the copper plates, pottery, remains of swords, a golden candlestick, and many other items.” Scholars from BYU are the first to have verified the authenticity of these artifacts. Other researchers from other locations will also be allowed access to test these items....Read More While this article isn't real. Wouldn't it be amazing if we could rally enough support so that our Church leaders would consult the Lord about the acceptance of the Ang Aklatan as scripture. https://scontent-mrs1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-0/cp0/e15/q65/s320x320/1231695_608419139181523_834645174_n.png.jpg?efg=eyJpIjoidCJ9&oh=724ae51168db6860fc671949d912f592&oe=5A4A5BBD LDS scriptures invluding The Aklatan “these artifacts include the copper plates, pottery, remains of swords, a golden candlestick, and many other items.” https://newmormonscripture.wordpress.com/2013/09/06/concerns/ Hagoth & the Filipinos Not just the Filipinos, but the Taiwan, Malay, Timorese & other aborigines https://archive.org/stream/improvementera5308unse/improvementera5308unse_djvu.txt Hagoth and the unsealed portion of the Plates What is in that portion of the plates? My friend speculates that in the Book of Mormon "Hagoth, being an exceedingly curious man, therefore he went forth and built him an exceedingly large ship, on the borders of the land of Bountiful...and launched it forth into the west sea. And behold there were many Nephites who did enter therin and did sail forth with much provisions, and also many women and children.." Pretty much my friend says the is the record of the people of the Hawaiian Islands, Samoans, Tongans. Etc. What are your thoughts? I think more of the brother of Jared's experiences though are likely; The plates are mentioned as to not contain a history of the Nephites but rather preachings and other events that are of significance to the people. Perhaps Amulek's lineage. But with regards to Hagoth, I wonder if rather they kept their own records. I have no idea what could be in those plates, I actually have not really thought a lot about it. Now I'm more curious. I never thought about it now I'm so interested to know! I know in D&C it does say about knowing mysteries never revealed and such. I wish thre was more on the subject. It's an interesting theory. The text of the BoM (Ether 3 and 5 and Mosiah, for example) indicates that the sealed portion came from the Jaredites and may have consisted of a single vision of the Brother of Jared. Given witness accounts putting the sealed portion at twice to three times the length of the rest of the BoM, that would be one long vision! The Brother of Jared's vision mirrored Moses and others who saw the entirety of the history of the world. The reason why it must be sealed is we have to live by faith. Once we have faith no longer, like the Brother of Jared, there's no point in keeping us in the dark about what's really going on. I believe it's also written in the Adamic Language. Mormon and Moroni did not abridge it. So perhaps along with the unsealing, we'll get to learn the Adamic Language again? He told me this out of pure speculation and I'd like to hear your thoughts and such. Is your friend Polynesian? Else he might have picked up the book and read by Bruce Sutton: Lehi Father of Polynesia. I can assure you though many may call it wild speculation. It is verified through Hawaiian Kapunas (elders who recite history through chants also village wise men). Even archaeologists are finding out Polynesians settled in South America and merged with the population through evidence of the Asian chicken bones and Human Polynesian bones found off of islands of western Chile. Hawaiians call South America the land of Uru which means land of East. Sutton places this information in his book based on oral history from Polynesian Kapunas. Also through genealogical history as well cited by sources in the original Hawaiian Kingdom newspaper archives now being translated as many already have. Needless to say Hawaiians can trace their ancestry to Hawaii Loa who left Central America to Hawaii in around 55 BCE (which is the same time Hagoth left) to go west after heading along north to the North Americas for a year. Many Hawaiians place Hawaii Loa as Hagoth because of the older Hawaiian religion which was more Abrahamic in tradition than it is now. The corruption came around 1300 CE when a Marquesas Kahuna (priest) name Pa'ao led an invasion from Tahiti, and change the political and religious structure of the local religion. It became more warrior based through a corrupt version of blood spilling in human sacrifice to Lono (the supposed returning white god) son of Ku (creator of the universe and first man and woman) instead of animal which is what original Hawaiians did. There are many similarities in Polynesian culture that have direct connotations to pointing to such as Hagoth, One is the language. Hawaiians though their language is slightly different than Tahitian, Rapa Nui, and Maori, and in most Mayan natives can converse thoroughly in their native tongue, and understand each other completely. Whereas speaking to a Samoan or Tongan, or Melanesian they cannot. This disproves the Asiatic root language theory. Samoan etc... is Asiatic. Hawaiian etc.. is not. Hawaiian lower rank Kahunas (priest) change the tying of their robes from left side to the right side after attaining rank of High Kahuna. Hawaiian Voyaging canoe have a similar hull, sail rigging, and rudder system as do the Inca (Peru). Replica of ancient Voyaging Reed constructed canoe Peru Ancient Hawaiian Voyaging Canoe The basis of the Ku Holo (ancient art of Polynesian navigation) has foundations in Mayan astronomy. I can go on and on such as the kalo (real name for taro) genes show origination from South America. Ditto with the purple sweet potato and many other plants. There are way more I can give in Hawaiian religious trafitons such as belief in living before being born here etc... Ku and Lono etc.... I'm getting tired of typing though. Take it as you want as true or not. You ever come to the real seat of Hawaiian power and history in Kamuela, Hawaii where the first Hawaiians landed. I will show you around and introduce you to Ku Holos and Kapunas and Kahunas. Contrary to the tourist version it is not Oahu because Hawaiian archaeology says so. Aloha EDIT; Just FYI. If those plates happen to buried on Hawaii. You will be out of luck ever discovering due to: 1) Hawaii law now forbids digging into ancient archaeological burial sites without the written consent of OHA (Office of Hawaiian Affairs) and it's Commission. This goes back of past desecration of Hawaiian ancestors burial mounds, and burial caves from development. In particular golf courses. Even a major highway had to incur about a billion in extra cost to move around such sites. 2) If it is near the erupting Volcanoes. Many past lava flows over the time period might have just buried for good under some areas of 100 feet or more of new rock. I've always been a believer in the "Hagoth went to Hawaii/Polynesia" theory. While its clear that not ALL Hawaiians/Polynesians directly descend from Lehi (just like in Meso-America with currently existing peoples there other than Lehites) all of the hints that point to a connection to the Book of Mormon are hard to deny. I thought it was interesting how in the book I mention in one of the posts below, the Ang Aklatan, they have a portion where a man writes his family history, which details how Hagoth settled his people in Hawaii/Polynesia, after which his descendants expanded farther westward. Well I study the history of the Pacific. I really can't comment too much on Filipino history. I have not had time to do such. I'm just curious though on how copper got into the Philippines? I am unaware of any metal ore discovered in the Philippines. My only suspicions that such copper would be that it came from an outside trader to the island nation from SE Asia. BTW It's pretty much not cool that some are poking fun at this and downvoting you. Especially since their knowledge on Pacific ancient history is zip. Edit: just for you downvoters on the above poster and his plate theory. You need to study Lapita culture. Also Polynesian history of voyaging the Pacific.    2 It should be noted the Laguna Copperplate is a REAL artifact in a museum. I figure you know it yourself, but maybe others might not. Metalworking has been known in Southeast Asia for thousands of years. I don't know as much about Copper deposits, but at least in the Philippines they are sitting on massive gold deposits. It's the second largest gold deposit in the world. Also in the Philippines you do have trade routes between China and other countries. No my friend is not Polynesian but HOLW COW does all that make sense! It's so interesting!! You must be Hawaiian? Raised "Hawaiian". Been there for a bit studied at BYU-Hawaii and love the Hawaiian culture! That's awesome. You will love the book " Belong to Heaven" I wrote a book review on my lds blog. It's all about George Q Cannons mission to the Hawaiian Islands and Johnathan Napela http://iammormon.wordpress.com/category/book-reviews Actually born Texan but moved 3 decades ago and a brother has lived here 5 decades. We have Hawaiian family through a great ancestor whaling Captain from Cataumet Mass. Who took a Hawaiian bride while the other wife was back in New England. Guess 9 months on a ship is a longtime huh? No he was not LDS either. I'm a convert of 14 years, but I have been engrossed in Hawaiian culture including the Makali'i program on Big Island. Which is the building of ancient Hawaiian voyaging canoes and the art of Ku Holo, and speak Hawaiian. Once in awhile the Polynesian Voyaging society with the most famous of Polynesian navigation and canoe called the Hokulea are shown on PBS or History channel. It's about par with a 4 to 6th grader in language skills. We just finished giving the Micronesians a canoe 4 years ago, and currently the only all 5 masters of the art are LDS. I do this this as a hobby because as they say. When in Rome, and you learn a lot about cultures that most do not take time to do. In 2014 the Makali'i out of Kamulea Big Isle, and Hokulea and Iosepha out of Laie Oahu pronounced Josepha after Joseph will be making an around the world voyage in 2015. One stop over is planned for Oman where bountiful is supposedly nearby. Polynesians are going to step up and show that ancient voyagers could sail around the world. It will be tracked and updated daily on the web and along with a modern VHF radio. That will be the only modern equipment on board besides a film crew for a documentary planned. It's too bad Bill Wallace a master Ku Holo, yes full Hawaiian with a haole name, passed away. He speaks Hawaiian and can tell you the Hawaiian names of the parts of the canoe which has significance to the biblical names of ancient Judea. You should study Joseph F Smith's mission to Hawaii. I served with a lot of Maori missionaries and members on my mission and learned a ton about Maori culture. I heard this a lot. Someone gave me a copy of a supposed missionary discussion that used to be taught in New Zealand. It basically told the story of Hagoth being the first father of the Polynesian people. Kind of matches of up with the oral tradition of Hawaiki, which says that the homeland of the Maori was first in Hawaii. Eventually people migrated out of Hawaii in 40 canoes to the rest of Polynesia (Samoa, Tonga, Rarotonga, Tahiti, Marquesas, etc.) and then finally to New Zealand. The discussion looked pretty official. Then again it could have just been made by some member. If it wasn't in a box full of mission stuff at my parent's house, I'd scan it and put it on here. All the Maori's always said that their whakapapa (genealogy) could be traced back to the first canoes to New Zealand and then all the way back to Hagoth. Really interesting stuff to say the least. If a Kiwi or someone who knows more about this than I do is on here, speak up and correct me. Here is a talk: (https://www.lds.org/new-era/1981/06/maori-traditions-and-the-mormon-church?lang=eng) That was probably part of your package.    5  peaceiscloser • 4y The story of Hagoth is incredibly interesting to me. It's such an odd loose end for Mormon to mention unless there's some deeper story to it. A few weeks ago my dad mentioned to me something he had discovered on the internet -- a book purporting to be "lost scripture" about Christ's dealings with the people of Southeast Asia (specifically the Philippines) called the Ang Aklatan (meaning The Library in Tagalog). The Ang Aklatan it has a story that vaguely references an ancestor named Hagat who left a land by sea and traveled westward from the Americas. Even if it wasn't true, the connection to the Book of Mormon was striking. Interestingly enough, this book has an incredible amount of connections to the Book of Mormon and LDS doctrine -- while nowhere in the Book or website does it specifically make a case of connection or outreach to members of the Church. Here's a blog I found discussing similarities between Church doctrine and the book: http://newmormonscripture.wordpress.com/2013/08/13/the-ang-aklatan/ and here is the website for the book itself. http://angaklatan.wordpress.com/the-aklatan/If you think this is interesting, please PM me. I've been wanting to discuss the implications of this. The website mentions the Laguna Copperplate as evidence for Ang Aklatan being real because both use the name Namwaran. However, the Namwaran mentioned in the Laguna inscription isn't a prophet or anything, but what looks like a dead man whose offspring have been forgiven for his debts in gold.

I never saw him personally but I heard a lot about him from other people who worked in the market. http://angaklatan.wordpress.com/timeline/It's almost as if someone could make a story like that up... Nah, no one would ever do that Yeah, it's entirely possible (and probably the case) but I came to wonder what WOULD be a logical coming forth of new scripture in our church? Obviously it would have to come by through the Priesthood with the approval of the Brethren, but is there any doctrine specifically regarding what we should expect from texts to be translated in the future? I don't think it's made up. It's far too imperfect. I mean, the stories jump around too much and they don't make any sense from a fictional perspective. Maybe the guy is bonkers, who knows, but I don't think this is something an author could invent. In the BOM institute manual it is a quote from one of the prophets saying that native new zealanders are descended from some of the people of hagoth.

THE AKLATAN

I always thought that the Filipinos were a special people & that they had to descend from ancient Israelites. I even thought that their ancestors (or part of them) were Hagothites that wrecked in the ocean & ended up in the Philippines, not only in Polynesia: Hawaii, New Zealand, Samoa, Tonga…

About Elisha
Elisha Michael Enoc discovered the copper sheets which the Aklatan was written on, through a vision. He is also the one who translated the record. Elisha M. Enoc is not his real name, but is a name he uses when doing God’s work.

Elisha M. Enoc was born in the Philippines, but moved with his family to the United States when he was still young. Elisha M. Enoc studied Archeology at an American university. He doesn’t say which university so as not to compromise his identity.

Elisha travels around the kingdom of Maharlika and often returns to America and other places of gathering. He travels from town to town preaching the Bible and the Aklatan to people. When God has a message to speak through Elisha he will share it and it will be posted on this website.

About the Aklatan
The Aklatan is a book which was translated by Elisha M. Enoc 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. It also contains a record of God’s works among these ancient people. There are many prophecies about our day in the Aklatan.

The Aklatan was translated by Elisha M. Enoc through a series of dreams.

This translation of the Aklatan was written on paper. These papers were used to encode the Aklatan in digital format so that it could be printed and published. The Aklatan is a collection of many other books. These books are:

The Book of Visions

Selections from Ezekiel

The Life of Suran

The Great Scroll of Suran

The History of the Ophir

The Book of Ahkman

The Book of Arakim

The Journeys of Gubir and Jaresh

The Book of Kimesh

The Gospel Written by Angulu

The Gospel Written by Taletan

The Lesser Gospel Written by Buka

A Record of the Twelve Women

Prophecy of the Prophetess Liwan

The Book of the Strangers

The Prophecies of Telemek

The Song of Banali

The Book of Datara

The Book of Kilinga

The Preserved Record of Algapo

The Book of Namwaran

The Book of Ruman

The Rock of Ruman

The Record of the Ancients

The Book of Visions was written by Elisha M. Enoc and contains a journal of the visions and visitations which led up to the translation of the Aklatan. The Selections from Ezekiel are chapters 40 through 48 of Ezekiel copied directly from the Bible.

All of the translation work was done in 1987. But the first publication of the Aklatan contains only a limited number of the total books. This is because only a small portion of the knowledge in these books is to be brought forth. As the work of spreading this information progresses more books, which have already been translated, will be published. Once the temple is built and the Kingdom of Maharlika is completely established all the books will be publicly available.

The published books of the Aklatan are:

The Book of Visions

Selections from Ezekiel

The Life of Suran

Selections from the Book of Ahkman

Selections from the Book of Arakim

The Journeys of Gubir and Jaresh

The Lesser Gospel Written by Buka

Prophecy of the Prophetess Liwan

The Book of the Strangers

The Song of Banali

Selection from the Book of Namwaran

The Book of Ruman

The Rock of Ruman

I wanted to see if I can get in contact with anyone close to Elisha or the Aklatan publication team (if there is one). I couldn’t seem to find any contact info on the blog aside from posting a comment. I had a few questions about the English translation and publication process and volunteering to copy-edit manuscripts. If someone could get back to me, that would be great. The Aklatan has been a life-changer.

Mushroom Growth
Mabuhay! I greet you all in the name of the Lord. The numbers of people who believe in the Aklatan has grown exponentially. It is truly amazing to see the work of the Lord in our time. Our people, Filipinos, Taiwanese, residents of Borneo and the pacific islands have been flocking to join with us. people can sense the truth within the Aklatan. It resonates with us. This is because it is our history, it is our culture and identity. Let us keep up this momentum. We will see the temple built in just a few years!

The Call to Gather

Mabuhay! I greet you all in the name of the Lord. God has caused that Filipinos have been scattered among all the nations of the Earth. This has been done for a very special purpose. Now God has sent out a call that Filipinos in certain areas should gather to specified locations. This gathering is to bring together our people into a strong community.

As Filipinos gather to these places we must organize into Barangays. We will establish leaders for those Barangays just as they are in our nation. You will rent apartments and buy homes. Work together and pool your money so that you can buy land. Open Filipino businesses in these locations.

The Lord has commanded that Filipinos in the United States of America should be relocated themselves and their families to San Luis Obispo County and Santa Barbara County in the State of California. You should gather there and be a beautiful people upon the face of the land. After 20,000 Filipinos have gathered there you will receive further instruction.

The Lord has commanded that Filipinos living in Europe should gather to the country of Spain in the provinces of La Corunna, Pontevedra, Lugo, Orense, Las Palmas, and Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

The Lord has commanded that Filipinos In Japan should take boats and airplanes and they should relocate to the Okinawa Islands.

We must gather our strength and our money so that we can do these things. The strength of the Lord will be with all of those who move and relocate themselves to these locations. Amen.

Some Answers to Questions

Mabuhay! I greet you all in the name of the Lord. The work is moving forward mga kapatid. The number of people who have learned about the Aklatan is growing. Let us keep up the work. God is with us, we are his people.

I have receive many questions about when the rest of the Aklatan will be published. There is no time line for when the rest of the Aklatan will be published. The thing that will determine when they will be published is the progress of the work.

It is up to all of you. The faster these works are accomplished the sooner the books will be published. I have added a chart to tell you what events will trigger the publication of each portion. They are not in order.

The Great Scroll of Suran

After land has been acquired to build the temple.

The History of the Ophir

After ministries are established in each of the six areas of the Kingdom.

Most elite Filipino family dynasties, political families and the elite clans are of Spanish origin. A number of Filipinos of Spanish descent are also found in the lower classes.

The Record of the Ancients

After the Kingdom of Maharlika is completed I will also speak about the important people we need to complete this work. We need people to help plan coordinate Pilgrimages. We also need people who will be willing to share the Aklatan with their friends and family.

We need people who will lead meetings of believers so they can learn the true history of our people. We need architects to design the temple; and we need silver and goldsmiths and carpenters to build the temple articles.

Thank you everyone for the great work which you have been doing and the support you have given. God is pleased with us. Amen.

How soon will land be acquired to build the Temple?

I’m not sure when land will be acquired. What Elisha has told me is that we are focusing on sharing the Aklatan. After we get more people then we will be able to focus our resources on the temple.

Thank you for the reply. I’ve been trying to share it with people, especially Filipinos that I know.

Great News

Mabuhay! I greet you all in the name of the Lord. We have experienced much tragedy with the typhoon Yolanda. There is much work to be done to rebuild those areas affected by this disaster. I can tell you that god would have use work together unitedly. That is the true nature of we Maharlikans. Even in the face of such destruction the future is bright.

I have been traveling to many places to help establish the Kingdom and begin ministries. I have recruited the help of some supportive Americans to help promote this work among Filipinos in America.

Yet the greatest news of all is that we have already met together in great numbers and there are many men preaching the Aklatan. As such we have met two requirements to release further portions of the Aklatan. Our new version will be made available soon. It will include the complete Book of Ahkman. It will also include the Gospel Written by Angulu.

With this new version becoming available we will be putting a part of the proceeds towards rebuilding the areas affected by the typhoon. The other portion will cover printing costs. This is important because each copy of the Aklatan that is sold will help rebuild people’s lives. I think that that is the thing which will please God most. Helping each other! Amen.

More Questions Answered

Mabuhay! I greet you all in the name of the Lord. It is wonderful to see such progress in building the Lord’s kingdom. Christ is our king and he has not forgotten us. The Aklatan has become better known here in Maharlika and around the world. There are a lot of questions about the Aklatan and the movement behind it. That is why I will take some time to answer more questions.

Where is Elisha Enoc?

I travel to many towns and cities doing what I can to help people and spread the message of Christ. After supertyphoon Yolanda I spent three months down in Leyte helping the victims. I don’t stay in one place for a long time. There is so much that needs to be done all over Maharlika and I don’t have a lot of time left.

Why isn’t Elisha more active online?

My greatest priority is to do what the Lord has told me too. That is to minister to the people of the Maharlika. I do get online sometime but most of my time I need to be out involved in God’s work. Another reason why I am not online more is because I am not the focus of this work, God is. If I go out and tell everything about me, then people will focus on me and not the message. I am a flawed man, but God is perfect. His work should be the focus.

Who runs your website?

The website and facebook are run by a couple of close friends. It is up to them to run the websites in the way they can. They have their own lives and families and I don’t expect them to sacrifice those things that are more important. That is a reason why we want get more people involved in our online operations.

I don’t live in the Philippines, how can I help support the Aklatan?

The Aklatan was written for a specific group of people. That group includes Filipinos; Native Taiwanese; the people living on Borneo; the native people of Palau, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, and the western part of the Federated States of Micronesia. If you are one of these people then you are a Maharlikan.

You can help by reading the Aklatan and sharing it with your fellow Maharlikans. If you are Maharlikan and live in the USA or in Europe you can also help in establishing our communities in those areas that have been designated.

If you aren’t a Maharlikan you can still help. You can share the Aklatan with your Maharlikan friends. You can also help spread the message of the Aklatan by telling people about it online.

Why is the Kingdom named the Kingdom of Maharlika?

Wasn’t that was something Marcos developed?

It isl true that Maharlika was (mis)used by Ferdinand Marcos. It is an ancient Tagalog word used to refer to the warrior class. This is a name that we have chosen to refer to the Kingdom.

The modern kingdom was never given a specific name however the ancient followers of Christ took on the name “Mahardika” as spoken of by Namwaran. More information about this will be known as more of the Aklatan is published. But it is true that the name “Kingdom of Maharlika” is a modern name not an ancient one.

Does the Aklatan support the Book of Mormon/Mormon Church?

There have been a lot of questions and comments by Mormons about the Aklatan. There have been many parallels shown between the Aklatan and the Book of Mormon (a sacred text used by Mormons). For me I leave God’s work to God.

The Aklatan has a specific purpose and that is to help free the Maharlikan people so that the ancient kingdom of Christ that existed on these islands can be reestablished. Once that purpose is fulfilled it is up to God what he will do with the book.

What is this I have read about twelve women?

The twelve women are women living today, who will become a group of ministers and will travel throughout these islands to reestablish the Kingdom. These women were prophesied of in the Prophecy of Liwan.

They are a parallel to twelve ancient women that Christ ordained to minister and help establish the ancient kingdom as written of in the Lesser Gospel Written by Buka. There is much more about these ancient and modern twelve women the parts of the Aklatan that haven’t been published yet.

The problem is that none of these women know about the Aklatan yet or their duties in establishing God’s Kingdom. We know information about them from the Prophecy of Liwan and also information that God has given to me. It is important that we find these women. Their service is key to completing this work.

I am very grateful to see this work progressing so well. Everyday more and more of our people are learning of the Aklatan and accepting its message. Christ is wonderful. He loves His people so much. Glory to God!

Thank you for taking the time to respond, Elisha. May God bless you in His work and keep you in His service.

May God continue to strengthen you Brother Elisha.

More News and Questions

Mabuhay, brothers and sisters! I greet you in the name of the Lord. It has been some time since I have sent you a message. I would like to say that everywhere I go I continue to see the Lord blessing this people. I have seen many miracles in these past months. The Lord’s work is progressing.

There is also another blessing that I would like to write about. But, first I would like to make a minor clarification. In one of my previous messages I said that the book, A Record of the Twelve Women, would be published after a great number of women begin to travel around to share the Aklatan.

This is essentially correct, however it is much more detailed than this. After the twelve women have been found and gathered together the first half of A Record of the Twelve Women will be published.

They will be the ones to first read it and then present it to the public. After the women have gone out and preached, there will be a second meeting where they will receive the second half of the book. They will then present this second half of the book to the public.

Now, about the blessing that we have been given, it is about the twelve women of the Prophecy of the Prophetess Liwan. Brother Salvador has told me of the tremendous work that has gone into finding these women. There have been many possibilities presented.

Many of them were not correct, but it is my joy to tell you that we have found two more of these great women. There has been some interesting research about this prophecy on our website and a Brother Joshua shared some links on our website about some women who he thought fit the prophecy. Two of these women did match the women I saw in my vision. These two women are:

We must now contact them and tell them about the work the Lord has called them to. This is a most joyful day, because we now know who three of the twelve women are. I give my thanks and praise to the Lord for this blessing. The glory is God’s. This is His Work!

Lastly, I asked Brother Salvador to get questions and I would try to answer them. I understand that not all of my answers will be satisfactory. I appreciate all of the thoughtful questions you’ve had and I hope you will ask more.

Here are the questions that have been asked:

Do you know anything more about the 12 women?

The information about the twelve women that I know of is contained in the Prophecy of the Prophetess Liwan, the vision when I saw their faces, the personal prophecies that I was inspired to write, and other prophecies in the book A Record of the Twelve Women.

The Prophecy of the Prophetess Liwan is the best information we have that can be published. The personal prophecies for each woman probably have information that could be used to identify them. Although, I can’t remember for sure what is in them. The last time I read them was in 1993 when I wrote them. They have been sealed in their envelopes ever since.

The information contained in the book A Record of the Twelve Women has little value in identifying the twelve. It does contain a strong message about the mission of these women. This will be published in time.

Are the twelve women given priesthood authority?

It is my understanding that the power of God has two parts. It has a male part and a female part. This is the pattern of the universe. The power that the twelve women receive is that female part which is given for females. They are brought together in their holy order so they can act unitedly in the pattern of God. This is the nature of their authority.

Does he know how old the 12 women are?

I know about how old the women where when I saw their faces in vision. I don’t know if this matches to the age of the women when they will be gathered together.

Will the Maharlika and those who join them be safe from the calamaties of the last days?

The safety of the Kingdom of Maharlika and those who join will depend on their faith. God will uphold all his people. This does not mean that life will be without hardship. Yet, the Lord will fulfill all his promises.

Is the coming of Christ and the destructive events a planetary/cosmological catastrophe?

As I understand the coming of Christ will be witnessed on all scales. There will be events on the microscopic scale as well as the planetary scale. The majesty of Christ will be witnessed in all ways as the old things are purified to become new.

All of these things are connected. So yes, planetary and cosmological events will play a role in the events here on earth. Things on earth will reflect those things in the heavens and the the things in heaven will reflect the things on earth.

Do you know anything about the fall of America as prophesied in the Aklatan?

There are prophecies of many nations which are contained in the Great Scroll of Suran. I can’t speak about these as yet. Once they are published I can be more clear.

Do you expect miracles and gifts of the Spirit to be abundant among the followers of Christ and the Aklatan? Are you experiencing these things now?

I have witnessed many miracles. I have seen the sick healed. I have seen devils cast out of those who have been possessed. There have been many miracles among those who believe in Christ’s work. I also believe that miracles follow believers in Christ around the world. His work is not limited to the Aklatan but the Aklatan is part of His Work.

Approximately how many followers or “believers” are there presently that are known?

This number is not known at this time. I have preached to many thousands of people here in the Philippines. Usually these have been in the smaller and more remote regions. We also have followers in more populated areas.

There are also many followers around the world. The exact number is not known but a figure in the low thousands would probably be accurate. The things that must be dealt with now and in the near future is bringing every one together and working unitedly.

Where is Elisha when he is preaching?

I don’t always know where I will be at any given time. I have a backpack to carry some basic things and as I travel I rely on the hospitality of those I meet. I travel to wherever the Lord inspires me to go. I have traveled all across the Philippines. Yet there are still places that I have not been to.

Has Elisha had any contact with the leadership of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?

The Mormons are something I cannot speak about in much detail at the moment. These issues will be clarified in the future.

I am asking about Elisha. Is he familiar with Mormon history or has been one in the past?

The issue of the Mormons and my relationships with them is not something that is central at this time to this work. Our central focus is bringing our people closer to Christ through the Aklatan and bringing them back into Christ’s covenants with our ancestors.

I’m sorry I can’t answer your question more specifically, but that is all I am permitted to speak about at this time. In time your question will be answered.

What is the abomination spoken of in the Life of Suran?

As I understand the abomination is the secret corruption of powerful families that gained power in the United States. They gained power over the political, financial, and business landscape of America. Today, their influence is felt in all aspects of the United States and even around the world in other nations.

This corruption will devour itself, taking with it any who remain associated. This corruption reaches into the Philippines which is one reason the Kingdom of Maharlika must be established as quickly as possible.

What are we to understand about the Book of the Lords, as written by Ahkman?

The Book of the Lords is a prophecy. It speaks about a people who will rise up in these days. The published text is good enough for the time. However, there is more information about this prophecy in the unpublished portions of the Aklatan and they will be made known in time.

The identification of this people is also important. However, it is not so important as the Twelve Women. Once the twelve women have been gathered then in a short time the Book of the Lords will be plainly manifested.

Are there “other sheep” that you are aware of that have other records, promises, temples, gathering places?

The most prominent of these would be the writings in the Book of Mormon. However, the subject of the Mormons is not something that I am able to discuss at the moment. My focus must remain on the Maharlikan people for the time.

This prohibition is not permanent and at the right time I will be able to discuss more. I am aware of other groups which are covenant people of the Lord and are His other sheep. While not specifically having records or temple, there are other groups I am aware of such as Arabs (Islam), Beta Israel, the Chinese, British peoples, and others. His work among all these people is at various stages and I am likewise not able to discuss these in more detail.

In truth all people have some claim to promises through the fathers. It may be through Noah, or Abraham, or Israel, etc. God has given many promises and it depends on us if we want to have them or not.

Would you like bilingual persons to translate Ang Aklatan into other languages?

This would be very helpful and I would appreciate help in this area. Brother Salvador has done an amazing effort at encoding the pages I have given him. However, there are still typographical errors in the available texts that need to be cleaned up.

This clean up should be done first before any effort at translation is made. I will contact Brother Salvador and see what arrangements can be made to get this done.

Why is the very last verse from the Selections of Ezekiel different from the KJV?

I was instructed to use a specific bible to copy those passages from. I cannot say much more beyond that.

Do you have, or have you had, other visions, dreams, revelations, etc that you have not published and may we know about them?

There is much more than what has been published. The individual revelations for each of the twelve are one example. There are additional books that I have worked on. And I have had more dreams and visions that I haven’t published yet. The Aklatan is just part of what I have been called to do. The rest of these things will be published in their own time.

Where are we when it comes to the work and the unveiling of more books?

Concerning the work, a greater effort is needed to bring believers together and establish the Kingdom of Maharlika. The majority of this work is dependent upon the twelve women as they are the major backbone of this work.

Concerning the publishing of the books, there are three that seem to be the next that will be published. This is based on my observation of our progress. These books will be, A Record of the Twelve Women, The Prophecies of Telemek, and the Book of Datara. I’m not sure in which order they will be published, however these seem that these will be next.

In the Lesser Gospel Written by Buka, Christ created a group of twelve men and a group of twelve women. We know that the group of twelve women will be recreated, but will the group of twelve men be recreated too?

The gathering of the modern twelve women was prophesied in the Aklatan. They are central to bringing our people closer to Christ and the establishing of the Kingdom of Maharlika.

Based on my observation of the patterns in God’s work the re-establishing of a group of twelve men seems to be just as important as any work that we will do. However, the re-establishment of a group of twelve men was not a work I was called to do. I can’t explain more at this time.

When might the copper sheets be tested as spoken of by Oleeha?

I know that this will happen after the temple is built and the Kingdom established. However, I don’t know when this will happen specifically.

Were you given authority to baptize, lay on hands, or ordain priests?

I have received everything I need to accomplish this work. I have been given nothing more and nothing less. I was given the authority to do these things. For me this relates to the establishment of the Kingdom of Maharlika. There are very specific circumstances at work here so I am limited in what I do. I cannot answer more specifically at this time.

Who were the three men who baptized and ordained you?

I cannot share more at this time that what I have been allowed to publish in the Aklatan. Their identity will be better known at some time in the future.

How can we reach a representative of the colonies (Okinawa, California, etc), or does he need representatives?

We do not yet have representatives in those areas. If there are any who would like to volunteer for these duties or to be a representative in any area of the world please contact Brother Salvador and we will make arrangements.

Do you have any plans or blueprints for Zion communities to be established?

I do have general plans for them. I have not published anything regarding this. I’m not under any restriction from publishing them, I just haven’t done it.

Three Announcements

Mabuhay, brothers and sisters! I greet you all in the name of the Lord. We are living in an exciting time. The Word of God in the Aklatan continues to spread in Maharlika and abroad. Our digital presence is increasing as well. I have been informed that a faithful brother is willing to donate a website and free web design services for us.

With his help we will be able to move to our own website. I have also been told that the images for the temple are nearing completion. I am excited to see them and I know you are too.

I have a few announcements to make. First, I want to send an invitation to anyone who can help with writing pamphlets, flyers, and tracts. We need develop these materials to help spread the word of the Aklatan.

We also need to develop a curriculum founded in the Aklatan to help believers in their studies. This will be useful for any who desire to meet together and study the Aklatan. The Spirit of the Lord must guide these efforts.

Second, we need to begin preparations for the first pilgrimage. It is my intent, if the Lord permits, to be there at the pilgrimage. This first pilgrimage will take place in two parts.

There will be the northern part which will visit the Kabigan Falls which has been revealed to be the place where Ngameke taught Suran. It is also the place where Ahkman taught the people of God. The southern part of the pilgrimage will visit the Mount Banahaw area.

We will visit the land of the future city, Banal. Then we will travel north a few kilometers and stand on the site of the temple. We need to begin making travel plans and arrangements for transportation and lodging. I will give Salvador the information about what is to take place at each location.

Lastly, the Lord has told me it is time to begin rebuilding the Warriors of the Darkness. I call on all people who have served in militaries of the nations included in the boundaries of the Kingdom and the gathering places. I ask you to peacefully gather together and begin organizing and training to defend the believers. The warriors defended the believers anciently and they will do it again.

After you have developed a training program, begin recruiting among people who have no military experience. They can then be trained to your level of skill. I make this call under the banner of peace. It is not our purpose to act aggressively. It is only for defense and fulfillment of the Word of God.

Please contact brother Salvador in regards to all of these efforts. He will help in organizing them. I thank all of you for your support and good wishes. The Lord knows your desires. He sees your faithfulness and will pour out His blessings upon you.

Answers to Questions on the Forum

Some questions were asked on the forum. Here are Brother Elisha’s answers:

Are you authorized to confer priesthood authority on others?

The priesthood of God is given through the offices in His church. This movement is primarily based on the freedom of this people in establishing God’s government. The widespread establishment of the priesthood among this is important but at this time I have not been called to do so.

Does the reference in Suran chapter 6 and 8 to the law given to the children of Israel refer to the law given to Moses, commonly called the law of Moses?

Yes and no. The descendants of Ophir were not under the Law of Moses. Yet, the descendants of David were. Josu-a unified both system of Laws according to the will of God so that it was equitable for both people. This unified system of Laws is what Suran re-established.

If so, how is it that David the Levite would have possessed this law if he was born in the same generation of Moses and had escaped into the wilderness?

David was born after Moses. He is a descendant of Libni by many generations not only one. This is not clear in the currently published portion, but is clear in “The History of the Ophir.”

Did he have the law given from Moses after the exodus and before his escape?

Because David was born many generations after Moses’s time he did have the Law of Moses.
