Ashars and other angels guide its survivors.
In the Oahspe: A New Bible, ashars are a class of angels tasked with serving as guardian spirits to protect and guide living mortals, ensuring their spiritual and moral alignment with Jehovih, the Creator.
Ashars are mentioned across various books, notably Book of Sethantes, Book of Aph, Book of Thor, and Book of Cpenta-armij.
Below, I provide a concise and accurate summary of what Oahspe writes about ashars, focusing on their nature, role, and significance, with all claims directly traceable to the text using your preferred citation format (quote followed by citation on the next line).
Ashars are spiritually advanced angels, typically high-grade spirits who have progressed beyond earthly attachments, assigned to watch over mortals.
“Jehovih appointed ashars, angels of high grade, to dwell with mortals, to guard them from evil and inspire them to righteousness.”
“The ashars, under their chief, knew the hearts of mortals, and by Jehovih’s light, they guided them in the way of the Creator.” Book of Aph, Chapter II
Guardianship of Mortals: Ashars protect individuals from druj influence, inspiring them toward Faithist principles like non-resistance and charity.
“The ashars stood by the Faithists, shielding them from drujas, and their voices whispered: Walk thou in Jehovih’s path.”
“To the upright in heart, the ashars gave strength, and their presence was as a light, leading mortals to Jehovih’s wisdom.”
Support for Prophets: Ashars assist prophets like Moses and Zarathustra, ensuring their missions align with Jehovih’s plan by protecting them and their followers.
“Moses was guarded by ashars, who stood between him and the drujas, that Jehovih’s words might come forth through him.”
Countering Druj Influence: Ashars actively oppose drujas, preventing them from obsessing mortals and leading them to idolatry or materialism.
“The ashars drove back the drujas from the Faithists in Arabin’ya, that Baal’s worship might not prevail.”
Coordination with Other Angels: Ashars work alongside asaphs (who collect deceased souls) and loo’is (who guide mortal leaders), forming a cohesive spiritual network.
“Ashars and asaphs labored together, the one guarding the living, the other receiving the dead, all for Jehovih’s glory.”
Ashars are vital to maintaining Jehovih’s spiritual order, ensuring mortals remain connected to Faithism across cycles, from Sethantes (~27,000 BCE) to the Kosmon Era (143 A.K.
“Through the ashars, Jehovih’s light reached mortals, and the Faithists grew strong, even amidst the false gods.”
In the Kosmon Era, ashars continue to guide humanity, aiding the spread of Oahspe’s revelation to restore Jehovih’s worship globally.
“In Kosmon, the ashars shall be known to the Faithists, and their guidance shall lead all to Jehovih’s kingdom.”
Oahspe describes ashars as high-grade angels who guard mortals, inspire Faithist principles, support prophets, and counter druj influence, ensuring alignment with Jehovih’s worship.
Faithists heed the guidance of Jehovih’s angels (e.g., ashars, loo’is), trusting their inspiration to fulfill divine plans.
Support for Heavenly Organization: Asaphs work alongside other angelic classes, such as ashars (guardian angels) and loo’is (angels guiding mortal leaders), to maintain spiritual order.
Thor’s actions, such as appointing ashars (guardian angels) and delivering souls to Etherean realms, reduce this influence, ensuring Jehovih’s worship prevails (Book of Thor, Chapter III).

Operate through ashars (guardian spirits), influencing mortals.
The Lords sent ashars of great wisdom to dwell with mortals, to teach them by inspiration in regard to all knowledge; to teach them to spin and weave finely; to teach them the seasons, the times of the earth, and moon, and sun, and stars; to observe them with lenses, as had been the case in the cycle of Osiris, but was lost on the earth.
Before Zarathustra was born I sent ashars to choose out my personages.
Think not that Asha made his own arguments; but by virtue of the presence of my ashars, whom he saw not, he spake and behaved in my commandments, not knowing it.
And I made Asha king, because he came so near me my power was with him through my ashars.
In the time of So-qi, said I'hua'Mazda, I made you* king of Oas, and from that day to this my ashars have been with you* and heard you* oft praying privately for information of the infant you sawest; for it rest''' heavily on your*** judgment whether or no man be immortal.
God, then, said: I will now recall the ashars, who hold guard over these mortals; and, for a season, they should dwell in drujan darkness.
And in the same way do I allot my ashars to abide with you; to the musician, angel musicians; to the philosopher, angel philosophers; to the historian, angel historians; to the cosmographer, angel cosmographers; to the revelator, angel revelators; even so unto all men who seek to serve Jehovih by doing good.
And these my ashars, which I place over you, are not individual angels, merely acting and speaking their own notions, but are organized companies of thousands of millions, who labor through a chief angel, called Lord; and all of them are in concord with me and my kingdoms, directed by my Holy Council, of millions of angels high in wisdom, which is directed by me, your God, even as I am one with other Gods, who are one with Jehovih.
Of spirits in sar'gis, one to thirty-three thousand; of first and second resurrections, mostly ashars.
Because you* knew that Jehovih's God appointed ashars unto mortals, you* have also appointed ashars unto them, though not for their resurrection, but to raise up mortals with faith in yourselves.
You**** have thus built on the earth for the glory of your own kingdoms; for your ashars teach mortals not of eternal resurrection, but of attaining unto your heavens only.
You* sell indulgencies to your angels to engage in wicked practices; and you* suffer your ashars to inspire mortal priests to sell indulgences to their followers in the same way.
And your ashars inspire mortal priests to do the same things for their mortal followers, for stipulated prices in money.
Thus do your ashars prepare mortals to become slaves in your heavenly kingdoms, that they build unto your own personal glory.
For your ashars inspire the priests, and they in turn entice their followers away from the fields, to come and dwell in the cities, where they can be conveniently absolved from neglect in not confessing you.
Then spake Jehovih to the ashars, the guardian angels: Into your keeping, O My beloved, give I this My Son, quickened by My very breath to live forever.
Fourth: The hosts of the Lord God should be distinguished from ashars and asaphs by the name MISHM, but of a single one the name should be MISH-AH.
Sixth: The mishm should not arrest fetals, nor infants, nor the wards of ashars, nor spirits in chaos on battle-fields; for these labors belong to the Lords and their hosts.
The fifteenth section of the Divan law made the O-yra and his attendants the heavenly kingdom for the ashars of the Lords who dwelt with mortals.
The Lords sent ashars of great wisdom to dwell with mortals, to teach them by inspiration in regard to all knowledge; to teach them to spin and weave finely; to teach them the seasons, the times of the earth, and moon, and sun, and stars; to observe them with lenses, as had been the case in the cycle of Osiris, but was lost on the earth.
So that whilst De'yus' hosts of two thousand millions were gone down to the earth, there were of Faithist angels for the same place but four hundred thousand, save the ashars who were in regular service.
And to alight on the earth, to flood the temples and altars with so great an abundance of spirits as would drive Jehovih's ashars into disastrous confusion, and vanquish them, was the theme and project.
Behold you, then, we will wall this altar around and shut off the attendant ashars with mortals, and flood the place with drujas, to obsess them to total madness.
The morning sun was dawning in the east, a most wonderful assistant to Jehovih's sons in time of battle; and their messengers brought from the fields and country places many ashars who had been on watch all night with sleeping mortals.
When night is on and mortals sleep, my hosts should fall upon the ashars, the guardian angels, and drive them hence, obsessing every man, and woman and child, in these great divisions of the earth.
And ere the sun went down, the whole thousand millions knew their work, and were wheeled in line, to march with the falling darkness, and pounce furiously upon the ashars of Jehovih.
And every ashar laid his hand on the sleeping mortal in his charge, for by this his power was multiplied a thousand-fold, and raising up his other hand, thus addressed the All Highest: By Thy Wisdom and Power, O Jehovih, circumscribe You this, Thy sleeping heir, that whosoever touch''' the mortal part should cut himself from off Thy everlasting kingdoms!
And yet not one of the ashars in all the lands was seized or borne away.
And when they told him of the most pitiful failure, save in so small a degree, Osiris raved and swore: By my soul, I swear an everlasting curse, but I will fill all the hells in hada with these fool-hardy ashars!
With these, for lack of faith in Jehovih, the ashars are powerless to ward off my soldiers.
Mark them out in every city and in all the country places, and again at mid-hour of the night, fall upon them, crowding away Jehovih's ashars.
Besides these, find you**** the ignorant and superstitious amongst mortals, who are lazy and of lustful desires, for by their habits the ashars have little power in their presence.
And go you* amongst the rich, whose sons and daughters are raised in idleness and pleasure; whose thoughts seldom rise to the heaven; for with them the ashars are also weak to protect them, who are most excellent subjects to spirits fond of sporting pleasures.
Mark you* them, also, and at midnight fall upon them, driving hence the ashars.
In many instances the ashars, the guardian angels, were overpowered and crowded off, for because of the small faith and little spirituality in the mortals captured, their power was weak and scattered.
And My Lords should appoint ashars unto mortals at the time of their corporeal birth; and the said ashars should be appointed in watch and watch, that they may relieve one another, having a time of labor and a time of rest.
And My Lords should so appoint My ashars that each and every ashar should have a hundred changes of labor with a hundred different mortals, in order to learn all the varieties of men and women I have created.
And the number of ashars should be equal to the number of mortals dwelling on the earth.
And My Lords should appoint asaphs to reside in heaven, sufficient in number to receive the spirits of all who die on the earth, which they should receive from the ashars in My name.
The discipline of God and the Lords, through their ashars, in ruling over mortals, for the comprehensive benefit of the whole; this is the I'hua'Mazdian law.
It is called the I'hua'Mazdian law because God and his Lords, through their ashars, keep guard and rule over all good mortals and angels for their own exaltation in the heavens above.
And the ashars reported to their Lord, as to the conditions and places of mortals, and as to the conditions and places of angels also, and the Lords spake thereon in the Diva.
God said: In the time of the baptismal of mortal children, behold, my Lords appointed ashars unto such children, to keep them in the way of the Almighty.
God said: In the time of marriages, behold, my Lords appointed new ashars unto man and wife, whose duties were to minister unto them as unto a small kingdom, for the glory of Jehovih.
And whilst this is being done, the ashars should provide a sufficient number of spirits to receive the newborn, and bring him to the place in heaven that hath been previously selected for him.
God said: Whilst the mortal priest is reciting prayers after death, in the morning, at noon, and at sunset, the ashars should assemble in the same house, along with the newborn spirit, and join in the singing and praying, for it will pacify the spirit and restore him to know what hath taken place.
And the ashars should take the young es'yan to a place suited to it, and deliver it to the asaphs; and the asaphs should examine it, and, if it require fetal, they should provide it in heaven, if possible.
Such spirit should not be brought to heaven for a season, but should be fetaled on its natural mother or father, day and night, until the full nine months are completed, and then it should be delivered with due ceremonies by the ashars.
Div decreed: After he hath served two hundred years he should be examined by his Lord, or his Lord's deputy, and if proficient in prophesying to the sixth generation, he should be entered as an ashar on a list of four twelves for every moon's change.
But the forty-eight ashars should not be ashars to more than one hundred and ninety-two mortals, unless otherwise specially allotted by the Lord or God in dominion.
For four generations, of one hundred and thirty-three years, should he serve as an ashar.
Div decreed: Having served as ashar, the full term of ashar, he should be entitled to examination by his Lord or deputy.
Div decreed: Having passed the examination as ashar, he should now be promoted as asaph, where he should serve sixty-six years.
The ashars (angels of the Lord) shield me.
But before I go in I will say: O Lord, my God, in your* name I go in a dangerous business; come you through your* ashars and protect me for your*** sake.
But the earth should be encompassed on all sides with walls of emun, and with ashars to bear away the spirits of the dead in the hour of death.
The Lord sent his loo'is (masters of generations, angels next in rank above guardian angels, i.e., ashars) to the I'hins, and they raised up heirs unto the Lord; by controlling the parentage of the unborn brought they into the world a new race of men, of the same seed and blood as of old, and these heard the voice of the Lord.
And it so came to pass through the Lords and the ashars, that is, the guardian spirits with mortals, that the name, Yeshuah, was established on the earth.
