The Oahspe Bible is a spiritual text first published in 1882. It was authored by John Ballou Newbrough, a New York dentist who was clairvoyant and clairaudient. He received the content through automatic writing, a process where he acted as a medium under the influence of divine forces. The text presents itself as a new revelation from Jehovah (the Creator) and angelic beings.
According to the Oahspe: A New Bible, Anuhasaj is a central figure in the “Book of Wars Against Jehovih,” depicted as a false god who rebels against the true Creator, Jehovih, and establishes a deceptive spiritual dominion.
Origins of Anuhasaj in Oahspe
Anuhasaj emerges in Oahspe as a high-grade angel with extensive knowledge, initially serving as a sub-God or Lord under Osire, an etherean figure overseeing heavenly affairs during an earlier cycle (approximately 15,000–12,000 BCE). In the Book of Wars Against Jehovih, Chapter I, Anuhasaj is appointed Lord God of heaven and earth during a period of transition following the cycle of Fragapatti (around 9,200 BK or 7,352 BCE).
Influenced by dissatisfaction among heavenly rulers and manipulative spirits (referred to as “satan” in disguise), he rebels against Jehovih’s authority. He declares: “I will be God of heaven and earth, and men shall worship me as De’yus, the All Highest.”
This marks the start of the Cycle of Anuhasaj (around 9,000 BCE), an era defined by his usurpation and the establishment of false divine hierarchies.
Characteristics of Anuhasaj
Anuhasaj is portrayed as ambitious, deceptive, and authoritative in Oahspe. His cunning stems from profound learning acquired in higher heavenly realms, which he uses to manipulate both spirits and mortals (Book of Wars Against Jehovih, Chapter II).
He employs deception to consolidate power, promising false resurrections and enslaving millions by exploiting their desires for status and worship.
As De’yus, he exhibits tyrannical traits, demanding absolute loyalty and punishing dissent. Despite his intelligence, his actions reveal a flaw in spiritual progression: unchecked ambition leads to downfall. Oahspe emphasizes his role as a cautionary example, showing how even advanced beings can fall into self-idolatry without adherence to Jehovih’s laws.
Roles and Actions of Anuhasaj
Anuhasaj’s primary role is as the architect of a false heavenly empire. He constructs Hapsendi, a grand capital in the lower heavens (Hadan regions), where he proclaims himself the supreme deity and enslaves over 28 billion spirits for labor and worship (Book of Wars Against Jehovih, Chapters III–IV). He inspires mortal religions, manifesting as Dyaus in Vedic traditions (India), Te-in in China, Sudga in other regions, Jove/Zeus in Greco-Roman mythology, and similar names globally.
To extend his influence, Anuhasaj forms a confederacy of false gods around 6,000 BCE, appointing sub-gods like the false Osiris (Egypt and Arabia), Te-in (China and Jaffeth), and Sudga (India and Vind’yu) to govern specific earth divisions (Book of Wars Against Jehovih, Chapter V). This alliance spreads idolatry, wars, and self-worship, disrupting Jehovih’s Faithist system, a philosophy centered on service, non-violence, and spiritual ascension. His actions include promoting false scriptures, encouraging mortal sacrifices, and hindering atmospheric resurrections, leading to widespread spiritual chaos.
Downfall of Anuhasaj
Anuhasaj’s reign collapses during the arrival of Cpenta-armij, an etherean goddess dispatched by Jehovih around 2,400 BCE (approximately 4,200 BK). In the Book of Cpenta-armij, Chapter III, her forces invade Hapsendi, liberating enslaved spirits and overthrowing the confederacy.
Anuhasaj and his allies are captured and cast into hells, dense, chaotic atmospheric regions serving as prisons for redemption through suffering and reflection. This event ends the era of false gods, allowing a new cycle of spiritual renewal. Oahspe notes that after centuries in hell, Anuhasaj begins a path toward redemption, illustrating the text’s theme of ultimate forgiveness.
Significance of Anuhasaj in Oahspe
Anuhasaj’s story holds key significance in Oahspe, representing the disruption of true Faithism by false deities and idolatry from around 9,000 BCE to 2,400 BCE.
His rebellion initiates a dark period that influences major world religions, explaining the origins of polytheistic and monotheistic distortions in human history. It necessitates interventions like Noe’s cycle (around 4,000 BCE, linked to flood-like purifications in the Book of the Arc of Bon, Chapter I) and later prophets. Oahspe uses this narrative to teach that ambition without humility leads to spiritual bondage, while divine cycles restore balance.
His legacy persists in cultural names for “God” (e.g., Deus, Dieu), highlighting Oahspe’s view on how heavenly events shape earthly beliefs.
