This chapter describes the revelations of Maurice Glendenning (contained in Levitical Writings) and the development of the House of Aaron.
"Though it is difficult to predict the future of any religious text, especially one as recent as Levitical Writings, its influence is clearly demonstrated throughout the House of Aaron's history. Members at Eskdale and other locations are still working to carefully balance the expectations of newer generations with a reverence for the traditions and beliefs of older generations. But the continued existence of Eskdale itself is a testament to the power of Glendenning's revelations. At the heart of Levitical Writings is the idea of a Christian community built on earth in anticipation of heaven, and nearly seventy years later a small but devoted band of disciples still make their home in the desert as an expression of their belief in a God of continuing revelation."
