The discussion explores the idea of oneness with the universe or God.
Known as the Valley of Hinnom, this area holds a dark history as a site of child sacrifices to the god Molech in ancient times.
This structure, dedicated to Zeus, the Greek god of the sky, is an unusual find in a region typically associated with ancient Egyptian deities like Isis, Horus, and Ra.
For the Greeks, Zeus Kasios represented a fusion of their god Zeus with a local storm deity.
Long before the Greeks, the mountain was sacred to the Canaanites, who worshipped Baal, a storm god whose characteristics influenced deities in both the Egyptian and Greek pantheons.
Canaanite Mythology: The rivalry between the thunder god Baal and the sea god Yam parallels Zeus and Poseidon’s conflict.
Babylonian Mythology: Myths involving gods battling sea monsters, such as Marduk versus Tiamat, reflect a common narrative theme.
The discussion begins with the account in Exodus 3, where Moses encounters the burning bush and is given God's name, represented by the four Hebrew letters Yod-Heh-Vav-Heh (יהוה).
In most modern English Bible translations, God's name does not appear as "Yahweh." Instead, it is represented as "LORD" in uppercase letters but with a smaller font size.
To avoid misusing God's name, which could be considered blasphemous, ancient Jewish readers substituted the Divine name with the word Adonai (Hebrew for "My Lord") when reading aloud.
"An inscription which I excavated at the Lion Gate at Mycenae in Crete recites that Misor, from whom, according to the inscription, the Egyptians were descended, was the child of Taaut or Thoth, the God of History, and that Taaut was the emigrated son of a 'priest of Atlantis, who having fallen in love with a daughter of King Chronos, escaped and landed after many wanderings in Egypt.' He built the first temple at Sais and there taught the wisdom of his native land.
Ra was the sun god of the Egyptians.
Ra-Na was the sun god of the ancient Peruvians.
Le Plongeon, the great French archeologist, recovered at Chichen-Itza in Yucatan the figure of a god who was club-footed and bore in every way the attributes of the great god Thoth, of the Egyptians!
The racial memory of Atlantis is found in the legends of the Garden of Eden of the Bible, the Garden of the Hesperides of the Greeks, the Asgard of the Scandinavians, the Tir n'Og of the Celts and in all the legends of a wonderful, mysterious land in which dwelt gods or godlike mortals.
In the same way the escape of some of the Atlanteans over a narrow land bridge, which connected Atlantis with what is now Brittany, survives in the legends of the Rainbow Bridge Perilous with the razor edge which the Scandinavians believed was the only road to Asgard, the dwelling place of the gods, in the famous Hell's Causway of the religious books of the Middle Ages and in similar legends of the Hindoos, the Mayans and the Turanians.
The gods and goddesses of the ancient Greeks, the Phoenicians, Hindoos and Scandinavians were simply the Kings, Queens and heroes of Atlantis, and the acts attributed to them in mythology are a confused recollection of real historical events.
Circumcision stamped out the disease in Atlantis; we read of one Atlantean king, the Greek god Ouranos, who, in a time of plague, compelled his whole army and the armies of his allies to undergo the rite.
They first domesticated the horse, hence the association of Poseidon or Neptune, a sea-god, with horses; hence the race-courses for horses described by Plato.
We find the worship of this One God in Peru and in early Egypt.
They looked upon the sun as the mighty emblem, type, and instrumentality of this One God.
William the Conqueror, Richard Cœur de Lion, Alfred the Great, Cromwell, and Victoria might survive only as the gods or demons of later races; but the memory of the cataclysm in which the centre of a universal empire instantaneously went down to death would never be forgotten; it would survive in fragments, more or less complete, in every land on earth; it would outlive the memory of a thousand lesser convulsions of nature; it would survive dynasties, nations, creeds, and languages; it would never be forgotten while man continued to inhabit the face of the globe.
Titans) that "Mercury, one of the Atlantean gods, was placed as ruler over the Celtæ, and became their great divinity." F.
And it must not be forgotten that Greek mythology tells us that the god-like race who dwelt on Olympus, that great island "in the midst of the Atlantic," in the remote west, wrought in iron; and we find the remains of an iron sword and meteoric iron weapons in the mounds of the Mississippi Valley, while the name of the metal is found in the ancient languages of Peru and Chili, and the Incas worked in iron on the shores of Lake Titicaca.
A still further evidence of the civilization of this ancient race is found in the fact that, before the dispersion from their original home, the Aryans had reached such a degree of development that they possessed a regularly organized religion: they worshipped God, they believed in an evil spirit, they believed in a heaven for the just.
When we turn to that other branch of the great Aryan family, the Hindoos, we find that their gods are also the kings of Atlantis.
The Hindoo god Varuna is conceded to be the Greek god Uranos, who was the founder of the royal family of Atlantis.
At-tika and At-hens are reminiscences of Ad, and we are told that Poseidon, god and founder of Atlantis, founded Athens.
We have seen that Zeus, the king of Atlantis, whose tomb was shown at Crete, was transformed into the Greek god Zeus; and in like manner we find him reappearing among the Hindoos as Dyaus.
He is called "Dyaus-pitar," or God the Father, as among the Greeks we have Zeus-pater," which became among the Romans "Jupiter."
The strongest connection, however, with the Atlantean system is shown in the case of the Hindoo god Deva-Nahusha.
In consequence of the connection of this king with the vine, he was converted in later times into the dissolute god Bacchus.
In the Sanscrit books we find reference to a god called Deva-Nahusha, who has been identified by scholars with Dionysos.
Here we see that the great god Indra, chief god of the Hindoos, was formerly king of Meru, and that Deva-Nahusha (De(va)nushas--De-onyshas) had also been king of Meru; and we must remember that Theopompus tell us that the island of Atlantis was inhabited by the "Meropes;" and Lenormant as reached the conclusion that the first people of the ancient world were "the men of Mero."
The Egyptians placed Dionysos (Osiris) at the close of the period of their history which was assigned to the gods, that is, toward the close of the great empire of Atlantis.
Who is the god to whom we shall offer sacrifice?
"He who gives life; He who gives strength; whose command all the bright gods" (the stars?) "revere; whose light is immortality; whose shadow is death.
He who through his power is the one God of the breathing and awakening world.
He who measured out the light in the air… Wherever the mighty water-clouds went, where they placed the seed and lit the fire, thence arose He who is the sole life of the bright gods.
This is plainly a hymn to the sun, or to a god whose most glorious representative was the sun.
It was the hymn of a people living in a volcanic country, who call upon their god to keep the earth "firm" and not to destroy them.
"Youngest of the gods, their messenger, their invoker.
For thou, O sage, goest wisely between these two creations (heaven and earth, God and man) like a friendly messenger between two hamlets."
The dawn of the day (Ushas), part of the sun-worship, became also a god:
56, 24) we find a prayer to the Maruts, the storm-gods: "O, Maruts, may there be to us a strong son, who is a living ruler of men; through whom we may cross the waters on our way to the happy abode." This happy abode is described as "where King Vaivasvata reigns; where the secret place of heaven is; where the mighty waters are .
"The religion of the Veda knows no idols," says Max Müller; "the worship of idols in India is a secondary formation, a degradation of the more primitive worship of ideal gods."
He was, as we have shown elsewhere, one of the gods of Atlantis--probably one of its great kings and navigators.
Haroeri was the son of Osiris and grandson of Rhea, a goddess of the earth, a queen of Atlantis, and mother of Poseidon; Typhon was a wind-god and an evil genius, but also a son of Rhea, the earth goddess.
"Hercules, it was said, being once overpowered by the heat of the sun, drew his bow against that luminary; whereupon the god Phœbus, admiring his intrepidity, gave him a golden cup, with which he sailed over the ocean.
Hercules was, as we know, a god of Atlantis, and Oceanos, who lent the magnetic cup to Hercules, was the Dame by which the Greeks designated the Atlantic Ocean.
257), that he borrowed "the cup" of Helios, in (with) which "he was accustomed to sail every night." Here we seem to have a reference to the magnetic cup used in night sailing; and this is another proof that the use of the magnetic needle in sea-voyages was associated with the Atlantean gods.
We find in Sanchoniathon's "Legends of the Phœnicians that Ouranus, the first god of the people of Atlantis, "devised Bætulia, contriving stones that moved as having life, which were supposed to fall from heaven." These stones were probably magnetic loadstones; in other words, Ouranus, the first god of Atlantis, devised the mariner's compass.
And that this is not all surmise is shown by the fact that a city of India, in the time of Alexander the Great, defended itself by the use of gunpowder: it was said to be a favorite of the gods, because thunder and lightning came from its walls to resist the attacks of its assailants.
Iron.--have seen that the Greek mythological legends asserted that before the submergence of the great race over whom their gods reigned there had been not only an Age of Bronze but an Age of Iron.
The great god of the so-called Semites was El, the Strong One, from whose name comes the Biblical names Beth-el, the house of God; Ha-el, the strong one; El-ohim, the gods; El-oah, God; and from the same name is derived the Arabian name of God, Al-lah.
The great god of Egypt was Neph or Num; the chief god of the Samoyedes is Num; and Max Müller established an identity between the Num of the Samoyedes and the god Yum-ala of the Finns, and probably with the name of the god Nam of the Thibetians.
He erected an edifice at Samarcand, bearing an inscription, in Himyarite or Cushite characters, 'In the name of God, Schamar-Iarasch has erected this edifice to the sun, his Lord." (Baldwin's "Prehistoric Nations," p.
Upon the head of their great god Baal they placed the horns of the bull; and these have descended in popular imagination to the spirit of evil of our day.
Less than two hundred years ago it was customary to sacrifice a bull on the 25th of August to the "God Mowrie" and "his devilans" on the island of Inis Maree, Scotland.
In the next figure we have a representation of the war-god of the Dakotas, with something like a trident in his hand; while the next illustration is taken from Zarate's "Peru," and depicts "the god of a degrading worship." He is very much like the traditional conception of the European devil-horns, pointed ears, wings, and poker.
"Fuh-hi, who is regarded as a demi-god, founded the Chinese Empire 2852 B.C.
This surprising discovery brings the Chinese civilization still nearer to the Mediterranean head-quarters of the races, and increases the probability that the arts of China were of Atlantean origin; and that the name of Nai Hoang-ti, or Nai Korti, the founder of Chinese civilization, may be a reminiscence of Nakhunta, the chief of the gods, as recorded in the Susian texts, and this, in turn, a recollection of the Deva-Nahusha of the Hindoos, the Dionysos of the Greeks, the king of Atlantis, whose great empire reached to the "farther parts of India," and embraced, according to Plato, "parts of the continent of America."
The Ethiopian word aorf, to fall asleep, is the root of the word Morpheus, the god of sleep.
"This is shown in the blending of Hamitic and Semitic in some of the most ancient inscriptions; in the facility of intercourse between the Semites of Asia and the Hamites of Egypt; in the peaceful and unobserved absorption of all the Asiatic Hamites, and the Semitic adoption of the Hamitic gods and religious system.
The religion of the Peruvians was sun-worship; "the sun was the peculiar god of the Mongols from the earliest times." The Peruvians regarded Pachacamac as the sovereign creator.
On landing on the coast they offered sacrifices to Neptune or Poseidon"--the god of Atlantis.
Their chief god was Bel or Baal--the same worshipped by the Phœnicians--the god of the sun.
The Irish name for the sun, Grian, is, according to Virgil, one of the names of Apollo--another sun-god, Gryneus.
141.) The Irish custom of saying "God bless you!" when one sneezes, is a very ancient practice; it was known to the Romans, and referred, it is said, to a plague in the remote past, whose first symptom was sneezing.
The practice of the creditor fasting at the door-step of his debtor until be is paid, is known to both countries; the kindly "God save you!" is the same as the Eastern "God be gracious to you, my son!" The reverence for the wren in Ireland and Scotland reminds us of the Oriental and Greek respect for that bird.
"The Atlanteans, among the ancients, passed for the favorite children of Neptune; they made known the worship of this god to other nations-to the Egyptians, for example.
They claimed descent from "the twelve great gods," which must have meant the twelve gods of Atlantis, to wit, Poseidon and Cleito and their ten sons.
The Phœnician legends show that Misor, from whom, the Egyptians were descended, was the child of the Phœnician gods Amynus and Magus.
Misor gave birth to Taaut, the god of letters, the inventor of the alphabet, and Taaut became Thoth, the god of history of the Egyptians.
Sanchoniathon tells us that "Chronos (king of Atlantis) visited the South, and gave all Egypt to the god Taaut, that it might be his kingdom." "Misor" is probably the king "Mestor" named by Plato.
The religion of Egypt was pre-eminently sun-worship, and Ra was the sun-god of Egypt, Rama, the sun of the Hindoos, Rana, a god of the Toltecs, Raymi, the great festival of the sun of the Peruvians, and Rayam, a god of Yemen.
19.) The Elysian Fields were the "Elysion" of the Greeks, the abode of the blessed, which we have seen was an island in the remote west." The Egyptian belief referred to a real country; they described its cities, mountains, and rivers; one of the latter was called Uranes, a name which reminds us of the Atlantean god Uranos.
Religion consisted in the worship of one God and the practice of virtue; forty-two commandments prescribed the duties of men to themselves, their neighbors, their country, and the Deity; a heaven awaited the good and a hell the vicious; there was a judgment-day when the hearts of men were weighed:
The five intercalated days to make up the three hundred and sixty-five days were called by the Mexicans Nemontemi, or useless, and on them they transacted no business; while the Egyptians, during that epoch, celebrated the festival of the birth of their gods, as attested by Plutarch and others.
In Egypt we have the oldest of the Old World children of Atlantis; in her magnificence we have a testimony to the development attained by the parent country; by that country whose kings were the gods of succeeding nations, and whose kingdom extended to the uttermost ends of the earth.
The Egyptian historian, Manetho, referred to a period of thirteen thousand nine hundred years as "the reign of the gods," and placed this period at the very beginning of Egyptian history.
The color of gold was something of the color of the sun's rays, while the color of silver resembled the pale light of the moon, and hence they were respectively sacred to the gods of the sun and moon.
And this is probably the origin of the comparative value of these metals: they became the precious metals because they were the sacred metals, and gold was more valuable than silver--just as the sun-god was the great god of the nations, while the mild moon was simply an attendant upon the sun.
Gold and silver were not valued in Peru for any intrinsic usefulness; they were regarded as sacred because reserved for the two great gods of the nation.
Izdubar, from the description of his reign, evidently belonged to the Mythical period; the legends given in these tablets, the offer of marriage made to him by the goddess Ishtar, the monsters living at the time, Izdubar's vision of the gods, his journey to the translated Sisit, with a curious account of a mythical conquest of Erech when the gods and spirits inhabiting that city changed themselves into animals to escape the fury of the conqueror: all these things and many others show the unhistorical nature of the epoch.

he was answered, 'To the Gods'; upon which he offered up a prayer for the good of mankind.
Xisuthrus then paid his adoration to the earth, and having constructed an altar, offered sacrifices to the gods, and, with those who had come out of the vessel with him, disappeared.
Him they saw no more; but they could distinguish his voice in the air, and could hear him admonish them to pay due regard to religion; and likewise informed them that it was upon account of his piety that he was translated to live with the gods, that his wife, and daughter, and the pilot, had obtained the same honor.
"The rest having heard these words, offered sacrifices to the gods, and taking a circuit, journeyed towards Babylonia.
Sisithrus, when he had complied with these commands, sailed immediately to Armenia, and was presently inspired by God.
And when upon the third trial he succeeded, for the birds then returned with their feet stained with mud, the gods translated him from among men.
In the opening of the account of the Flood there is a noticeable difference between the Cuneiform and Biblical narratives, for while in the Jewish account one God only is men tioned, the Cuneiform inscription mentions all the principal gods of the early Babylonian Pantheon as engaged in bringing about the Flood.
The gods having resolved on the Deluge, the deity whom we have hitherto provisionally called Hea announces the coming event to Sisit.
Now, in the account of Berosus, the god who announces the Deluge is stated to be Cronos; so this passage gives us the Cuneiform name of the deity identified by the Greeks with Cronos.
The description of the Flood in this inscription is very vivid; it is said to have been so terrible that the gods, fearing it, ascended to the heaven of Arm, that it is the highest and furthest heaven, the destruction of the human race is recorded, and the corpses of the wicked are said to have floated on the surface of the Flood.
In the statement of the building of the altar, and offering sacrifice after leaving the ark, all three accounts agree; but in the subsequent matter there is an important difference between the Bible and the inscription, for while the Bible represents Noah as living for many years after the Flood, the inscription on the other hand agrees with Berosus in making Sisit to be translated like the gods.
The Cuneiform inscription, after giving the history of the Flood down to the sacrifice of Sisit, when he came out of the ark, goes back to the former part of the story, and mentions the god Bel in particular as the maker of the tempest or deluge; there appears to be a slight inconsistency between this and the former part of the inscription which suggests the question whether the Chaldean narrative itself may not have been compiled from two distinct and older accounts.
From this sea, Oannes the fish god is supposed to have arisen, and the composite monsters who followed him in the antediluvian period came from the same region.
Traditional Roman society viewed Christians as subversive due to their worship of a single god and refusal to participate in state festivals and sacrifices.
This refusal was perceived as antisocial and treasonous, as the traditional gods were believed to protect the empire.
Emperor Decius ordered universal sacrifices to the gods, requiring all citizens to participate and receive certification of compliance.
Subsequent edicts ordered the arrest of Christian clergy, leading to overcrowded prisons and systematic torture to compel sacrifices to the gods.
Determinism: Humans are neither puppets of an omnipotent God nor products of mechanistic determinism.
Osiris, Ancient Egypt's God of the Underworld, symbolized death and resurrection.
The precursor to the Egyptian gods—(the Sumerians)—had huge Orion, Sirius and Lyra connections as well.
Horus, the God of the Sky and War, avenged his father Osiris against his uncle Set, becoming the king of Egypt.
And they were what people thought was the god, Horus.
During many of the Egyptian dynasties it was quite common to have a visitation from a Sirian in the disguise of one of their gods (such as Isis, Osiris, and Anubis).
These “costumes” made it easier for the Egyptians to honor their presence, and often the visitations triggered memories of the very early days when the “gods” walked openly upon Earth.
(Also spelled as: Seth, Setekh, Setesh, Suty, or Sutekh.) Generally speaking, in Egyptian mythology Set is seen as the god of chaotic forces and violence.
Sobek, depicted as a crocodile-headed god, was honored alongside Horus at the Nile-side temple of Kom Ombo.
Ra, Ancient Egypt's Creator God, shaped Earth, Heaven, and the Underworld, along with all living creatures.
Ptah, part of the Triad of Memphis, was worshipped as a God of Craftsmen and Builders.
Amon rose to prominence in the New Kingdom and merged with the Sun God Re after a military victory.
Geb, the God of the Earth and Father of Snakes, was also the father of Osiris, Isis, and Set.
Nu (also spelled Nun) was the ancient Egyptian god representing the primordial waters of chaos before creation.
The Sun-God (Phre or Ra) has a Hawk's Head, Disc, Serpent, Uræus.
Most of the Egyptian gods and most of the Egyptian myths — for instance the story of Osiris and Isis — are actually Egyptian versions of the memories of an older culture.
Their goal was to transcend the material world, awakening the divine spark within and reconnecting with the true God, described as the unknowable source of all light and goodness.
Jesus’s acceptance signified his alignment with the true God and his mission as a divine revealer.
The Gnostic perspective invites reflection on spiritual truths that may lie beneath surface interpretations, emphasizing that the kingdom of God is within and waiting to be discovered.

AS THE UPPER BOOK IS OF HEAVENLY THINGS, SO IS THIS LOWER BOOK OF THE EARTHLY ADMINISTRATION OF GOD FOR THE SAME PERIOD OF TIME, AND IT IS CALLED THE BOOK OF GOD担 WORD, BECAUSE IT IS OF THE FIRST DESCENT OF GOD TO THE EARTH TO ESTABLISH HIS WORD WITH MAN.

Where are the altars of your*** God?
Angels and Gods are scouted.
When I suffer thee to fall in bondage, you criest: O God, my God!
Of A'su I cleft a rib and stood it up, saying: Be you a man, upright in likeness of thy God.
1 GOD'S WORD is an important book, because it is the father and mother of all other religions in the world.
I'hua'Mazda, is synonymous with God; Mazda, synonymous with Jehovih.2 I'hua'Mazda, The MASTER VOICE, or, as we would say, Saith God or, God said, etc.
I'hua'Mazda, God of heaven, sent certain loo'is, highly learned angels, to look around, and afterward he called them and asked what they saw?
The loo'is, the angels who were guardians over mortals for such purpose, went and accomplished what had been commanded by God.
The loo'is went before God, saying: Behold, a child is born, capable of All Light.
Then spake God, saying: I will come; go you**** and lead the way.
Whereupon God answered him, saying:
I had hoped to see a God come in stronger shape, and in majesty of a thousand angels, winged, and in flames of fire!
For if it be true you are a God born in this questionable shape, you hast some motive more than to overthrow the town.
When he had finished, the king said: According to the histories of the ancients, when a God appeared amongst mortals, there were signs and miracles.
On the next day another man, even the king's brother's son, came before the king, saying: This day I have seen such a wonder as would have been marvelous in the days of angels and Gods.
Ay, and this child already proclaim''' itself Zarathustra in communion with the God, I'hua'Mazda!
To me it said: Why killest you the sons and daughters of thy God?
I'hua'Mazda talked to the virgin, saying: Twenty years should you tarry in the forest, fearing nothing, for your* God will provide for you.
And when your son should be larger and stronger than other men, behold, your*** God will manifest for the redemption of the races of men who are hunted and slain for the glory of the kings.
But because of his gentleness like a young goat, the tribes of the forest called him the Lamb of God, signifying, strength and good-will.
Art you not descended from the Sun Gods?
God saith: Think not, O man, that things happen without a cause, or that all things are left to chance.
God said: Yet with the king's decree I had no part, for I foresaw he would do this of his own will; and with the multitude in slaying the king I had no part, for I saw they would do this on their own account.
God saith: The multitude slew the king because he had gone so far from me he heeded me not.
During the infant age of Zarathustra, God manifested no more through him; but he sent Ejah, one of his Lords, to be with Zarathustra, day and night.
So Zarathustra went in, and, in the time of worship before the altar of God, the Lord appeared in a great light and commanded the high priest, saying: Behold, I have brought my son to you*.
Then spake I'hua'Mazda through Zarathustra, saying: I am I'hua'Mazda, God of the I'huans.

GOD REVEALETH WHO HE IS.
Hear the words of your* God, O man, I am your* brother, risen from mortality to a holy place in heaven; profit you in my wisdom, and be admonished by my love.
Hear your* God, O man, and distinguish then that the twain, God and Jehovih, are not the same one; nor more is your* God than what you should be in time to come.
As a kingdom on earth hath a king, and the king is nevertheless a mortal, so in like manner is the heavenly place of your*** God a kingdom of angels, and the chief over them is God, an angel also.
Howbeit the kingdom of your*** God embrace all the heavens of the earth.
So is it also with all the corporeal worlds and their atmospherean heavens, a God and organic heavens belonging to each and all of them.
Nor is this all; for there is a third resurrection, in which the angels rise still higher in wisdom, love and power, and are sent by your*** God into etherea, mid-way between the planets, the highest of all heavens, over which there are Chiefs, who are also Gods and Goddesses of still more comprehensive attributes.
GOD EXPLAINETH THE FIRST AND SECOND RESURRECTION, AND THE DIFFERENCE IN MANIFESTATIONS FROM THEM.
Hear me, O man, and consider the weight of the arguments of your* God.
For a season your*** God hath suffered this also to come to pass, that the spirits say there is no God; that there is no higher heaven than to dwell upon the earth, to enjoy the things thereof; to be reincarnated, and to live over and over in mortality.
And your*** God gathered them together, and said unto them:
And they covenanted themselves unto Jehovih not to return again single-handed to minister unto mortals; neither to return again to mortals save they came in phalanxes, and only when duly authorized and directed by their most Holy Council, and their chief, who was God.
And the rank of all such angels was, ANGELS OF GOD, or ANGELS OF JEHOVIH, in contradistinction from the angels of the first resurrection, who know no organization for righteousness' sake.
But that mortals be not left in darkness, behold your*** God and his holy council prepared certain rules of discipline and conduct and commandments, whereby the angels of the second resurrection should be as a unit in their duties and teachings thereafter.
And that such guardian angels be in phalanxes of millions and tens of millions (but still in close membership with your*** God and his Holy Council) in order to relieve one another on guard.
For, by the inspirations of the angels of your*** God, the individual entity of a mortal is directed in its normal growth; but by the angels of the first resurrection, mortals are used abnormally, by entrancement, by miracles, or by sar'gis, oracles or otherwise.
That the angels of God might inspire mortals with the same inspiration, behold, he and his Holy Council prepared certain instruction with rules, words and commandments adapted to the understanding of mortals for the good of their souls, pandering not to their earthly desires.
Such then are the angels of God and of Jehovih.
And their teachings are the same as my Lord's and your*** God's; nor doth one of them teach a matter in one way, and another teach it differently; howbeit there are different grades and systems adapted to the different degrees of intelligence of the different peoples on earth.
GOD ILLUSTRATETH THE DIFFERENCE OF METHOD BETWEEN THE FIRST AND SECOND RESURRECTIONS.
Open your* understanding, O man, that you mayest discern the beauty and glory of heavenly places prepared by your* God, Lords and guardian angels.
Now therefore your*** God showe you* certain signs characteristic of the difference between the angels of the first and the second resurrection:
Thy God come not as an individual; neither do my Lords (nor holy angels though they come in my name).
O man, beware of angels who say: In heaven there is no organization, nor God, nor Holy Council, nor discipline, nor order, nor teaching, nor self-denial, or,
Who say: There is no God, no Jehovih, no government in heaven, or,
GOD ILLUSTRATETH THE CHARACTERISTICS OF MORTALS ACCORDINGLY AS THEY ARE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE FIRST OR SECOND RESURRECTION.
Consider the words of your* God, O man, and profit you in the application of thy judgment for the growth of your* soul everlastingly.
GOD SHOWETH HOW MORTALS MAY ATTAIN INSPIRATION FROM JEHOVIH AND FROM THE ANGELS OF THE SECOND RESURRECTION.
Should a man inquire of the magician as to the inspiration of the prophets of your*** God?
The fool will say: The sacred books are no more than man of his own knowledge might write; yet, he hath not imitated wisely the power of the words of your*** God.
It is the will and wish of your*** God, that all men become constitutionally capable of receiving and comprehending the highest light, and that they should no longer depend upon any priest, church, oracle or holy book, or upon consulting the spirits.
GOD SHOWETH THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE RELIGION OF THE OLDEN TIME AND THAT OF THE PRESENT.
Now all of these things were taught in the religion of the olden time, and were given to man by your*** God to raise man up toward my heavenly kingdom.
Neither was it possible in the olden time to give man any other religion, it being necessary to appeal to his own advantages to make him heed your*** God.
But now, behold, O man, I come to give a great religion, yet not to set aside the old; I come to such as do fulfill the old, and to give them the religion of Gods themselves!
How choose your*** God his initiates?
Now, behold, O man, after the second resurrection was established in heaven, I called out unto all the heavens of the earth, saying: Come, all you**** of the first resurrection, also, let my guardians go down to mortals and proclaim unto all people, the kingdom of God is open to all who choose to come.
But your*** God answered them, saying: That is not our matter; ours is to serve Jehovih by working for all whom He inspire to come unto us.
And your* God answered them, saying: When you** practice the all highest, behold, the others will depart away from you.
And your* God answered them, saying: Answer them not, lest you** also practice darkness.
And your*** God answered, saying: Censure them not, for they are weak or diseased.
Nevertheless, whoso hath strength and yet will not support himself, teach thou one such man to change his attributes, and you should be honored amongst Gods.
GOD SHOWETH WHAT IS MEANT BY FOLLOWING THE HIGHEST LIGHT.
Be considerate of your* fellow man, and weigh his standing place in the sight of your* God.
GOD SHOWETH WHO IS AND WHO IS NOT PREPARED TO ENTER JEHOVIH’S KINGDOM ON EARTH.
GOD REVEALETH THE CURE FOR REMORSE.
GOD SHOWETH THAT THE RENUNCIATION OF THE UZIANS IS NECESSARY.
Hearken, O man, to the discourse of your*** God upon the second resurrection in heaven, and apply you these principles to founding Jehovih's kingdom on earth.
Many come to my holy place, saying: Hear me, O God, I am weary of the first resurrection and of the earth.
As woman forsake father, mother, brother and sister and become one with her husband, so do they of the first resurrection forsake all the earth and the lowest heaven in order to become one with the kingdom of your*** God.
In the second resurrection the angels are relieved of individual responsibility, all matters being under the wisdom of the Holy Council, whose head is your*** God.
GOD DISCOURSETH ON LOVE.
Not to abridge love but to extend it, God-like, embracing all people, so should the members of the brotherhood labor with your*** God and his holy angels, for the glory of Jehovih.
Let these two examples stand before you*; and when the speech of the vain man is directed against heavenly revelations, saying: This is not of God; this is not of Jehovih, or this is not of angels, know you that that man is not a builder.
GOD DISCOURSETH ON THE AUTHORITY OF HIS OWN WORDS.
So, of the words of your*** God, one man can distinguish, and another cannot.
The revelations of your*** God portray the harmony and glory of Jehovih's creations, and of the organic heavens of His holy angels.
Whether thyself, or your* brother, or your* neighbor, should profess to reveal the words of thy God, it is well.
To be one with Jehovih, this is Godliness; to be one with your*** God, the way is open to all men.
Let any who will, say: Thus saith God, or thus saith Jehovih, or thus say I.
These are the words and discipline; in such direction shape your* God the thoughts of millions.

Together: In remembrance of the pillars of light in heaven, that surround the throne of Thy Son, God of earth and heaven, we build here a hedge and a fence, as a lasting testimony that we dedicated to You*, Jehovih, the enclosed PLACE OF THE SACRED COVENANT.
And I abjure all Gods but You*.
We will not, now, nor forever, make war, nor engage in war, nor take any part in war, for any God, nor Lord, nor Savior, nor country, nor king or other ruler on earth; nor will we aid nor abet war in any way whatever.
Now, when Tae and his hosts had made the covenant with Jehovih, behold, the Voice descended upon Tae by entrancement, with the holy angels of the God of heaven and earth, and he said:
As you**** have dedicated to Me, so do I dedicate to you, to serve you in holiness and wisdom, by angels from the throne of My God.
And I have given to My Gods and Lords of heaven, and to wise men on earth, knowledge to provide unto the multitude something to do constantly, that satan (mischief) may not enter in amongst them to their injury.
When the temple was completed, Tae said: Who but Gods could have made anything so beautiful with such cheap material!
On the east summit was a figurative illustration of the God Apollo with his heavenly hosts, descended to earth looking at a group of Druks (ill-formed mortals) with long arms, who were squatting on their haunches.
Jehovih hath said: By My spirit, I move infants to ask questions; answer you**** them, and, behold, they should become as Gods.
Now, from twelve to fourteen, they were initiated into the religious rites and ceremonies of the ancients, after the manner as set forth in the Book of Saphah, with explanations of signs, symbols, emblems and the sacred implements; with the ranks of Gods and Lords and Saviors and archangels; with the divisions of the higher and lower heavens; with the first, second and third resurrections in atmospherea, as set forth in the Book of Ben; and with the cosmogony of the corporeal worlds; the position and travel of the solar phalanx; with actual observations of the stars, planets and satellites, with their times and seasons, as set forth in the Book of Cosmogony and Prophecy.
In the heavens of My Gods, I bequeath a time to labor unto them also; and when their angel hosts are prepared for a new resurrection to a higher heaven, I come and deliver them.
For which reasons, and because of your evasions of My commandments, I called unto My God and Lords and My holy angels, saying: Waste not your time and labor more with the Uzians.
For they have become a conceited people, saying: There is no God, and Jehovih is void as the wind.
Again I called to My God and to his angel hosts, saying: Behold, I have separated the wheat from the chaff; I have divided the sheep from the goats.
Thus it came to pass; the people were admonished by God and his angels, and by Jehovih speaking in the souls of mortals.
To teach you, O man, that you shouldst be considerate of your** brother's talents, behold, what a labor for My Gods and ministering angels!
As Jehovih, through His God, bequeathed to the children of Guatama a government unfettered by the name of God or Lord or Saviour, so Jehovih sanctified the day of the ratification and the signing and sealing of His compact, as the DAY OF THE HOLY SEAL.
As Jehovih, through His God, pulled aside the veil of heaven,1 saying:
As Jehovih, through His God, delivered into freedom Guatama's slaves, and, thus, to general slavery dealt the final blow, so Jehovih blessed that day, and sanctified it.
BEING THE GRADES AND RATES OF MORTALS AND ANGELS IN THE LIGHT OF GOD, AS THE WORD CAME TO ES, DAUGHTER OF JEHOVIH.
These are the words of Judgment by the will of God, Jehovih's Son, as rendered by Es, for the resurrection of man:
Hear the words of your* God, O man!
Profit you in my wisdom, and learn the discourse of your*** God.
Jehovih, Creator of all things, spake to me, your* God, saying: Give ear unto Me, O God, My embassador of the earth and her heavens for this your* season.
In all former cycles, My Gods had to deal with separate divisions of the earth; My revelations were unto each, for a special time, which is now at hand.
I have prepared this land untrammeled with Gods and Saviors and Lords, enforced by the sword, so that My revelations of this day should be published and not suppressed.
And to whomsoever worship Gods or Saviors because of miracles, give thou them plentifully of miracles and signs through unclean spirits, and through mortal sar'gis (mediums) of low grade.
Yea, you should let spirits of darkness assume to be these very Gods, that mortals may be made to know what manner of evil spirits dwell in their churches and temples.
For I will destroy the worship of all Gods and Lords and Saviors on the ground of miracles.
And some should say: Hear you me, for I am God!
And they should forswear all Gods and Lords and Saviors, but profess Me, the Great Spirit, Jehovih.
God, embassador of Jehovih, saith: You* should assemble for the communion of angels, regularly, and maintain intercourse with them.
THE JUDGMENT UPON THE BRAHMANS, THE BUDHISTS, THE KRISTE�YANS, THE MOHAMMEDANS, THE CONFUCIANS, THE JEWS AND ALL OTHER PEOPLES ON EARTH, IN THE WORDS OF GOD.
Or say you that God spake in the dark days of the earth, but latterly hold his tongue.
First, I charge you* that whoso saith: GOD, GOD!
I am not come to establish, but to abolish all Gods and Lords and Saviors amongst mortals.
But whoso cry out in fullness of heart, saying: GOD, GOD!
signifying a God in figure and shape of a man, sitting on a throne in heaven, is a blasphemer against Jehovih, the Ever Present, the Creator.
signifying a God in figure and shape of a man, sitting on a throne in heaven, is a blasphemer against Jehovih, the Ever Present, the Creator.
signifying a God in the figure and shape of a man, sitting on a throne in heaven, is a blasphemer against Jehovih, the Creator, the All Person.
And whoso call''' on the name of any other man or angel, worshipping such as a God, is an idolater in my sight.
I take from all of them their idols, their Gods; but I give them a greater, even the Creator.
For I will have no quarrel in my exalted kingdoms in heaven as to Gods and Lords and Saviors.
But you should return in spirit to the earth, and abide in the church and temple of thy chosen God, wandering about, in stubbornness of heart, a prey to drujas and vampires and other angels of darkness.
THE NUMBERS OF THE JUDGMENT, IN THE WORDS OF GOD.
Hear the words of your* God, O man; I am your* elder brother, the captain of heaven and earth.
I want to be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, and rise and sit on the right hand of God.
Hear the words of your* God, O man, and be wise in your* judgment: He Who created thee alive, gave to you* of His Own Being.
Wherefore, in your*** soul thou should abjure all Gods and Lords and Saviors.
Hear the words of your*** God, O Israel.
Shut not thyself up against the wisdom of thy elder brother, God of heaven and earth.
Nor magnify you the ancient days above the present; nor feign and say, your*** God is gone away to come no more forever.
With your*** sling thou hast smitten him with thy ONE God, Jehovih!
You wast encompassed on all sides by a multiplicity of Gods; one by one, you hast overcome them, and cast them out.
The giant of the great beast, the false Gods, lie dead and cold at your*** feet.
But your* God profited in your* footsteps, and in the words of your*** mouth: There is but one Great Spirit, Jehovih!
And I have provided unto you, after the manner of your** forefathers, a place to inhabit, where you should not longer pay tribute to the Gods of the idolaters.
Because, for two thousand years, you hast not gone forth with the sword to possess any new country, and establish thyself, you are glorified before your*** God.
Think not that this book is mine only revelation in this day; within your** house, O Israel, you should prepare unto the voice of your*** God.
Judge you not, O Israel, who are apostates before your*** God.
And they say: God prospered me!
For which reason, more are they apostatized in my sight, than such as are good, who say: There is no God.
IN THE WORDS OF GOD.
Nor hide thyself behind doctrines, or behind the promises of Gods or Saviors.
These are also graded by your*** God, according to the ascendancy or the declension of the whole.
You are remembered, O man, by your* God, and admonished and instructed for thy soul's sake that you mayest become a glory to your* Creator and to thyself.
Remember your* Creator and the comprehension of His kingdoms; and be considerate of the words of your* God:
In this, you are graded by your* God.
These are the labors of your*** God.
Magnify your* perception, O man, that you mayst comprehend the kingdoms of thy God.
Even larger than these are the divisions (plateaux) of the heavens of your*** God; the heavens of the earth are separated by atmospherean oceans.
These are the dominions given into the keeping of your*** God.
As you, O man of the earth, sailest your* ships abroad over the ocean, and coming to a new land, going ashore, dost settle your* people thereon, and it become a new kingdom, even so doth your*** God in the heavens of the earth, in the plateaux of this vortex.
Consider the habitations of the resurrections of the dead which are in the keeping of thy God.
Behold me, your* God; I am your* elder brother which He sent after you.
Come you, and learn wisdom of your** God.
You turnest thy back to me, and sayest: Behold, there is no God!
And your* God weep''' for you; because, in the time of your death, you should stand in heaven in grade one, even as the spirits of the beasts of the field.
Neither should you call out: God, God, exalt my soul!
And that he that practice the All Highest he know, hath the ear and the hand of his God!
O man, that you wouldst put thyself in the way of your* God!
Of the foundations of the resurrections of your*** God, there are two kinds; one, which deal''' with those already born, and the other, with such as are not yet born.
The delight of your*** God, who hath dominion over both, the earth and her heavens, is to witness the birth as such as come from the pure in flesh and pure in spirit.
This is the fountain-head, which your*** God would bring to the understanding of all people.
In this matter, you takest upon thyself a new grade, according to your*** heirs and thy God-ship over them.
You should find joy in your* talents, and profit in the wisdom of your* God.
But to induce the spirits of the dead to rise up from the earth, this is the work and the glory of your*** God.
To make them put away earthly desires, to become pure and wise and strong and adapted to the sublimated spheres, what an endless labor for your*** God and his exalted angels.
And, in time, all holiness pass''' away therefrom; and, when your*** God abandon''' that city for a day, taking hence his holy angels, the people fall into anarchy, or run with brands of fire, and burn down the city.
And the hundreds of millions of drujas lose their anchorage on the earth, and your*** God and his exalted ones march them away.
Be upright before your* Creator and your* God, who know your* weakness.
O man, weigh the words of your* God, your* elder brother, of tens of thousands of years experience.
It hath been said of old: You can not serve both, God and self.
To serve your* God, is to work for others, especially the sick and helpless, and not for thyself.
Hear you your*** God, and weigh his words in the balance, and be not blinded by the tricks of satan.
And straightway they raise his salary, and they present him a good house, where he feast''' sumptuously every day, thanking God for his own prosperity.
To serve your* God, or to preach and practice the words of your* God, require not great oratory or education.
One cry out: Come to God!
Did your*** God limit you*, saying: Do you this, in the present condition of society?
The words of your*** God are not for the glory of any man under the sun, or for any angel in heaven, but for Jehovih.
Remember the words of your* God, O man, and be reasonable in your* understanding.
Neither their doctrines, nor sacred books, nor their Gods, nor Lords, nor Saviors are anything before me.
I do not command, saying: You should believe, because I, your*** God, hath said it, or revealed it in this book.
But I say unto you, your** God labor''' not in such method.
Hear the words of your God, O you* priests and preachers and rab'bahs, and all you* that set yourselves up before men, professing to hold the key to salvation and the places of my resurrections in heaven.
Hearken to the words of your elder brother, God of these heavens and the earth; behold, I will set you in judgment over yourselves; and the powers of Jehovih within you should cry out for truth and justice.
Choose you* the best of your flock, and show before your God an example of all such as serve not mammon, but Jehovih.
Nor say: When we are dead, our souls should turn suddenly good, and ascend to the right hand of God.
You* are marked by your God!
Behold, O you* destroyers of religion; you* perverters of the word of your God.
GOD GIVETH A NEW RELIGION.
God said: Hear the words of your God, O you**** preachers, priests and rab'bahs; seek not to gainsay my words.
And you**** should take neither money, nor scrip for your labor, but be an example of faith in the promises of God.
You* go not to the drunkard's den, nor to the unfortunate woman; these you* take not in your arms, saying: My brother, my sister, come with me, I will show you the kingdom of God!
Neither avail''' it you one jot or tittle, to rise at break of day and recite prayers all day, nor to say: God help the poor!
or: Blessed are you, my God!
This is the new religion, which I give unto you; and, moreover, let it be a prophecy to you of the words of your God.
GOD DECLARETH A DAY OF JUDGMENT, AND ALSO HE BEQUEATHETH LIBERTY UNTO ALL MEN.
God said: There should be a day of judgment unto you, O man.
But touching the matter, as to how you should judge thyself, hear you the wisdom of thy God, your*** elder brother, and profit you accordingly.
Think not, that the soul growe by prayers or confessions unto this God, or that God; for, in whatsoever God you firmly believest, him mayest you worship, for he is thy choice.
But, remember, the same rule hold unto all in this day, no God, Lord or Savior should exalt you* for words without works.
For, behold, I have cast out the Gods, Lords and Saviors on the earth and in the heavens who promised otherwise.
Nevertheless, if you worship a God, or Lord, and he be as a figure unto you* to cast thine eyes into your** own soul, to purify thyself in the sight of your*** Creator, it should not be accounted as if you worshipped a man.
Yet this also should you prove: That, whosoever of the ancients were great, or whatever Gods were well known, that you settest your*** soul on to love, behold, familiar spirits will come to you* to deceive you*, professing to be such ancients or Gods.
This day in the lower heavens there are millions of false Brahmas, millions of false Budhas, millions of false Kristes and millions of false Gabriel-Gods.
For which reason you should school thyself every day of your* life, that thy Creator only is your* God; and that Him you should never see as you seest a man or an angel; but that Him also you can see every day in the glory of His works.
With this faith in your*** soul, you should die and enter heaven fearlessly; and, when a pretended God or Savior come to you* asking tribute, you should know of a truth he is false.
Neither should you judge thyself by any God, or Lord, or Savior, or by any idol, or by any man or woman; for you standest thyself second to Jehovih in your* attributes.
It behoove you* to make a God of thyself, in your* behavior and in your*** words and deeds.
Neither should you judge thyself by any sacred book, or any bible, in all the world; nor by the words within them purporting to be my words, or the words of any God, Lord or Savior.
For I have abolished all such sacred books and bibles and words and sayings contained in them, purporting to be my words and the words of any God, Lord or Savior.
Neither should you, henceforth, swear by any book under the sun; nor by any God, nor Lord, nor Savior, nor spirit, nor idol, nor image.
Behold, the olden times are past away; and your*** God set aside the bondages of the olden times also.
None can stay the hand of the Almighty or gainsay the words of your*** God.
GOD DECREETH AGAINST INFIDELITY.
God said: Hear the words of your*** God, O man.
And your* God come not now as a dictator, but as your* elder brother, with ample experience.
And I say unto you, after the manner of your professors in the college to their graduated classes: Behold, you are free; go your* way, and no longer hope to hold your* God accountable for your* behavior.
Think not, because I emancipate you* from the God and Lords and Saviors of the ancients:
More are you bound now than before; for you should not, henceforth, throw the responsibility of your*** conduct on to this man, nor that man, nor this God, nor Lord, nor Savior, nor holy book, nor bible, nor priest, nor church decree.
Many of these should return to you, saying: There is no hell, no satan, no God, or Lord, nor anything in this world to make you afraid.
For, of a truth, the hell they looked for, they found not; nor found they a God, nor Lord, nor Savior, such as they had hoped to find.
And after that, when they come to you, they will also proclaim, even as your** God now doth: That the commandments must be fulfilled:
Remember the words of your*** God, O man, when angels or men advise you* against these commandments, they have little to offer you* that will promote the harmony of the state.
Judge, then, O man, when one spirit come to you* preaching one thing, and another spirit come to you* preaching another thing, their words are proof that they have not yet entered the harmonious heavens of your*** God.
God said: I have heard your*** prayer, O man: Thy kingdom come on earth, as it is in heaven.
Now, behold, Jehovih hath sent me, your* God, to answer your* prayer.
And that you are servant to no God, nor Lord, nor Savior, nor church, unacceptable to any man in all the world.
GOD judge UZ, COMMONLY CALLED THE WORLD’S PEOPLE.
God said: I am not come in this era to judge the drunkard, the harlot and thieves and murderers; these are known unto you*, O man.
Therefore, O man, hear the judgment of your*** God against them: They are not united and affiliated as brothers.
Now, hear me, O man, and consider the wisdom of your*** God: Satan is wiser than any of these I have named.
This, then, is what befall''' the nations and peoples of the earth: Alike and like the angels of heaven minister unto mortals (save wherein your*** God and his Lords provide especially otherwise), the inorganic heavenly regions to the inorganic inhabitants of the earth.
Now, behold, I said unto you*, in the olden times, try the spirits, and see, if they be of God.
GOD SHOWETH HOW TO KNOW THE KIND OF ANGELS THAT MINISTER UNTO MORTALS.
God said: One rule have I given unto all men, whereby it may be known what kind of angels minister unto them; that rule is a mortal's own manifestations and behavior.
Another will say: I have very Gods who attend me!
Think not, that my discipline is less systematic than that of a mortal general's army, or that the heavens of your*** God are permitted to run at loose ends, and without order or concert of action.
GOD SHOWETH HOW AND WHEN THE SECOND RESURRECTION MANIFESTETH UNTO MORTALS.
God said: In the cities and country places, I have innumerable Lords, apportioned to districts and to the mortals and angels thereof.
For, if one should so desire, he would not be of the God-head, but of himself.
Now, therefore, O man, consider the judgment of your*** God against all such as are called the best of men, the wisest of men, the greatest of kings or queens or popes; for none of these have even passed the first resurrection in their own practice.
GOD judge THE ASCETIC.
God said: There are such as shut themselves up in colleges (convents and nunneries), and such as retire to the forests, devoting their lives to prayers, confessions and rites and ceremonies, being most systematic in routine, and in being shut away from the Uzians [world's people].
Be considerate, O man, of the words of your*** God: He, who created you, gave to you one star of light whereby you mayst determine truth and wisdom.
The aborigine, that rove foolishly in the forest, stand higher, therefore, before thy God, than doth the nun or the ascetic.
Be you not put off by the cunning of satan's words in the mouths of priests or popes; but look matters in the face, and be you a God thyself in discerning things that meliorate the condition of man.
GOD judge CHARITIES.
God said: A certain man built a dam across a river, using only stones, but no cement.
I say unto thee, that that city understand not the kingdom of your*** God.
GOD SHOWETH HOW TO DO CHARITY.
God said: O man, consider the folly of individual effort!
showe that you* measure not as your God measure.
GOD judge THE MISSIONARIES.
God said: In the olden time, I commanded you, saying: Go forth into all the world, preaching my doctrines, chief of which was: There is but ONE, even the I AM; Him should you love with all your heart and your* mind and your*** soul, and love thy neighbor as thyself, having faith in Jehovih through righteousness and good works.
For this was the judgment of your*** God against you*, because you hadst turned against the I AM, teaching another God than Jehovih.
And, following in your* path, whithersoever you hadst gone, thousands and millions of drujas followed you; and your people went with weapons of destruction, slaughtering those Jehovih had created alive, in order to establish your*** idol-God.
or to sing anthems in praise of your*** idol-God.
Thy God measure you* and your*** converts according to such purification as add to the glory of everlasting life, as well in heaven as on earth.
GOD judge DOMINIONS.
God said: Now, behold, a certain rich man coveted his neighbors' children, and he went about and captured many of them.
Hear, now, the judgment of your*** God, O man: Soon or late, all things answer unto Jehovih in a way man imagine not.
Such, then, is the judgment of your*** God upon dominion; and this should be ratified in time to come by every ruler on the face of the earth.
GOD judge THE MAN OF PROMISE.
God said: Consider the judgments of God, O you man of many promises.
Behold, I have heard you* say: O God, if I were rich; or, if this undertaking hold good; or, if I am spared, then will I do something handsome for the Father's kingdom!
Hear you, then, the judgment of your* God, for it is that which you should put upon thyself after your entrance into the es world.
GOD judge AGAINST WAR.
God said: Now, behold, O man, I have declared my first and second resurrections unto thee.
And so on are all the heavens of Jehovih, higher and higher, until the inhabitants thereof and therein become very Lords and Gods.
Nevertheless, hear you, O man, the wisdom of your*** God, and be appreciative of the way of resurrection being opened up unto you*.
Now, hear you, O man, the judgment of your*** God: Half the people, born into the world, including still-births and abortions, die in infancy.
In olden times, the false Gods used such angels to fulfill curses on mortals; and to carry poison in the air, and inoculate mortals with foul diseases.
Behold, in this day, my angels have shown you* that they can bring flowers and ponderous bodies; even so could the false Gods with their trained warrior angels, who delighted in evil, cast mortals in death by poisons and suffocation.
Behold, your*** God hath come to put away old things, and to give unto you the kingdoms of Jehovih, as they are in His exalted heavens.
Heed you the judgments of your*** God; you can not stay the hand of the Almighty.
GOD judge AGAINST EXCLUSIVENESS.
God said: Hear the judgments of your*** God, O man; look you upon all the world with the eye of a God.
Now, I, your* God, O man, declare this judgment unto you: Inasmuch as your wisdom hath surmounted the corporeal barrier, the ocean, between you* and your* brother, it is meet and proper, that your* soul surmount the barrier of prejudice against your*** brother.
Now, behold, when kosmon came, I said unto you: Come with your** God; peacefully should you knock at the doors of Chine'ya and Japan, and they should open unto you*.
GOD judge THE GOVERNMENTS OF MAN.
God said: When a man hath young children, he make just laws, in order to teach them discretion, justice, harmony and consideration, in regard to one another.
When a government no longer fill''' the grade, according to the advancement of the people, behold, your*** God withdraw''' his heavenly protection from that government.
In these respects, O man, governments are measured and graded by your*** God.
Hear the wisdom of your*** God, O man, and consider the way of righteousness in the governments of mortals:
The more diverse the government is from the people, the farther it is from the kingdom of your*** God.
And your*** God rate it the same as a selfish man, being diverse from Jehovih and His kingdoms.
Flatter not thyself, O man, that these matters can escape the observation of thy God.
GOD DECLARETH AGAINST THE GOVERNMENTS OF MAN.
God said: Whoso live with Jehovih is free from Jehovih.
Nevertheless, when a child hath attained to fourteen years of age, and it choose of its own accord to be sprinkled with water, to conform to the rites and ceremonies, then that child should be thus baptized in the name of Jehovih, but not in the name of God, nor any Lord, nor a Savior, nor an angel.
In kosmon, man should not be longer driven in yoke and harness, but should stand upright before Jehovih, practicing his highest light with rejoicing, being a free man, and a brother to his God!
Behold, the Uzians have a custom of eating bread, and drinking wine, saying, after the manner of the worshipers of Baugh-ghan-ghad, of old: Eat of this, for it is my flesh; and, drink of this, for it is my blood, signifying, that that they do, was commanded by me, God of heaven and earth.
Thy God never commanded man to eat flesh and blood, nor pretended that bread and wine were flesh and blood, nor commanded them to be eaten in remembrance of the flesh and blood of any man born of woman.
GOD SHOWETH HOW HE HATH WROUGHT.
God saith: Behold, the work of my hand, O man: As you findest an old house, no longer habitable, you sendest workmen to pull it down, and then, you sendest laborers to clear away the rubbish.
Even so, hath your*** God labored, for hundreds of years, to prepare unto the generations of this day.
And now, behold, O man, the wisdom of Jehovih previously: He had permitted corruptions and contradictions to creep into the sacred books of all of the said great religions, purposely and with design, so as to make easy the work of your*** God.
And, behold, I, your*** God, went to work systematically, inspiring man to accomplish even what man hath accomplished.
And I made the beginning of the work of these infidels and scholars to correspond with the discovery of Guatama by Columbo, and I kept them at their work for three hundred years, which was up to the time of the establishment of the republic of Guatama, which I, your*** God, provided to be untrammeled by an established religion.
First, I sent my miracle-workers forth into every quarter, saying unto them: Whatsoever was done by the ancient Gods and Saviors, do you**** even so, and greater.
For I will show, unto all the world, that no man nor God is worthy to be worshipped because of miracles.
For the time of one generation your*** God hath thus kept open the gates of heaven; working through mortals, by the angels of heaven.
I hide not the work of my hand and of my angels in a corner; I extend them abroad over the earth; I manifest in the cities and country places; I prove unto all peoples, that common men and women can do the miracles for which Gods and Saviors have been worshipped.
GOD REVEALETH HIS METHOD OF WORK.
God said: Think not, O man, that your*** Godgo about a work without a system and order.
So, O man, since four hundred years my loo'is shaped mortal births to bring about the armies of your*** God.
Thus, O man, your*** God knew beforehand what part and what place each and every one of his mortal laborers was adapted to.
And all of this is to one purpose; not to build up or exalt any man, nor God, nor religion, but to found Jehovih's kingdom on earth.
GOD SHOWETH THE MISTAKES OF MAN’S JUDGMENT.
God said: I said unto you, O man, pursue your wisdom after the manner of your* God.
Now, behold, because I told you* this, you sought to have children born unto you* after the manner of Gods.
I have chosen me my women, who also comprehend, and, behold, our offspring will be very Gods!
GOD PROVIDE FOR INCREASE.
God said: When your*** educational colony of infants should have grown up to manhood and womanhood, they should understand that, as they were once homeless and fatherless, and ye gathered them up, and provided unto them, even so should they go, and do likewise, gathering up from the Uzians other orphans and castaways, and raising them in other colonies, after the same manner.
It is not the work of your*** God in this cycle to raise up any man to become worshipful because of such wonders; it is my work to show man how he should attain to these things himself.
To His etherean Gods and Goddesses, Jehovih said: As you* have founded arcs of light in my etherean heavens, to determine the travel of My corporeal worlds, so should My God of the earth inspire mortals to build light-houses for man's ships that travel on the oceans.
For this should be an illustration unto mortals that I have appointed cycles of times and dawns of times, with Gods and Goddesses to superintend My creations in tenderness and love.
For they will judge with men's eyes, and with men's understanding; not comprehending the magnificence of the plans of My resurrections, which I provided unto them through My Gods and Goddesses.
As in former cycles, I sent leaders and commanding Gods; so in kosmon, I should not send either earthly leaders or a worshipful God or Lord.
When My dawn of a cycle come, I ever put away the ancient doctrines, and the established Gods and Saviors; none have ever stayed My hand.
To His etherean Gods and Goddesses, Jehovih said: Behold, in twelve generations My dawn of kosmon will reach the earth.
In other times, My Gods and Goddesses said unto man: You should, and you should not.
Though he accept none of the ancient doctrines, nor rites, nor ceremonies, nor Gods, nor Lords, nor Saviors, but strive for Me in doing good unto others, he should be My chosen, even though he accept not My name.
And it should be born with them to see and feel, that a new era is at hand; and they should be born skeptical to the ancient doctrines, Gods, Lords and Saviors.
The Orian Chief of Huamat and Balis called unto the Gods and Goddesses on the plains of Thessalona and Nadab and Vraghaoma, called for ten million volunteers.
Chonling, Son of Jehovih, Chief of Fabi'wotch'osi and Balis, said: Come, O you**** Gods and Goddesses; come with me down to the red star; the earth is near the arc of kosmon, era of kosmon.
Then spake Thetchaya, Chieftainess of Huamat and Dikaddonas, saying: Come, O ye Gods and Goddesses, I will lead you yonder to the rising red star, the little traveling earth.
Litabakathrava, Orian Chief of Yohamma, of two hundred thousand years, God of Ithwan, forty thousand years, said: Come, O you**** Gods and Goddesses, come to the red star.
Mortals on the earth are to be illumed and, like Gods, made to comprehend the glorious plans of the heavens of the Almighty.
So, when the hosts were assembled in Piatya, Jehovih appointed Thotagawawa as God of the cruise and mission.
Two thousand million miles off, lay the red star, the earth, seen by the magnifying instruments of the Gods, seen in its little orbit round the sun, of half a thousand million miles.
A God that, but to look on a corporeal world, knew the grade of her mortals and angels, even as in his flight he passed on.
Then, they came to Chinvat, the bridge of the boundary of the earth's vortex, and there halted to survey the earth and her unruly heavens, where the four false Gods proclaimed themselves monarchs of the universe!
A day they rested, in a day they measured the grade and standing of the earth's mortals and angels, and then, they descended straight to Paradise, the place of God, Jehovih's Son.
Consternation came upon my dutiful subjects, fearing some foreign God menaced their liberties.
Maithivi, Lordess, said: All Highest of Gods, be considerate of womanly fears, and detract accordingly from my magnified expressions.
To me, this descended star is some far-off ally with God, Jehovih's worshiper in Paradise.
Fiebwh, Lord, said: It is not a year since some other foreign God descended to Paradise.
Sin Loo, Lord, said: It was said of old: When the heavens clear, look out for Jehovih's worshipers, the infidels against the reigning Gods.
When many of the Holy Council had spoken, then again Kabalactes went on: My marshal in chief should select a host a million strong, and provide them an arrow-boat; to which command I appoint, Teanvettas, general, to go to Paradise in my name, greeting, to learn the will and pleasure of this adventurous God that come to the vanquished kingdom of Jehovih's Son; to offer him the freedom of my kingdom for a monthly visit.
Perchance, he hath never seen a city built of gems and precious stones; and the palace and throne of the all highest God.
And in it a million hosts, arrayed as very Gods and Goddesses in splendor.
Two hundred thousand slaves worked the boat, and many of these had been in earth-life Budhist priests, and were now serving their apprentice-ship of two hundred years, in order to have the privilege in future time of crawling on their bellies to see the throne of Budha (the false), and see their all highest ideal God.
And they pretended heart-felt loyalty to Ennochissa, the false Brahma, even whilst with secretive hope they prayed some adventurous God might come and break up Ennochissa's kingdom, feeling, that in the spoil they would profit in heavenly kingdoms of their own.
And for your loyalty make myself your humble God to do your wills and pleasure.
First, then, that our unapproachable kingdom should ever remain the all highest heaven, where you**** should rest secure forever, I will prove most alert to learn the designs of this visiting God.
In my name and in the name of the Holy Ghost, my hosts should greet this God, and invite him here on a monthly visit.
Perchance he hath no knowledge, as to what the all highest God is.
Behold, I am a warrior God.
What, then, have I to fear from a foreign God, coming to the heavens of the earth?
Let the foreign Gods return to worlds where they were native born.
If this God hath come to battle me, in behalf of Jehovih's God, let him come.
And all the Argos'yan [Grecian] Gods; and the Gods of Roma silence and cast into torments?
Now, behold, I will send an arrow-boat, a million strong, to Paradise, and banter this adventurous God to give me battle.
Better try our respective powers, as to who should go down, than to live in uncertain surmises as to such a God's business in another God's heavens.
And he should go to Paradise, greeting, in the name of God-Gabriel, to know of the coming God by what right he hath ventured near my holy kingdoms.
Even as at the heavenly kingdoms of the other three false Gods, so was the alarm in Hapsendi, capital of the heavenly kingdom of Looeamong, who had falsely assumed to be Kriste.
Wise and Holy Lords and Gods of the all highest heavenly kingdom, great have been your wisdom and suggestions.
I will send unto this stranger God, who hath come to Paradise, a fire-boat a million strong, and every one should go crowned and arrayed with jewels and diadems, and weapons of warfare; and they should have shields and figure-heads of tau (bull) and aries (lamb), as symbols of my attributes.
And this should be my message to the stranger God, to wit: In the name of the Holy Ghost and of the Son, greeting and love.
The all highest God and ruler of the greatest heavenly kingdom would know your will and pleasure.
And into it the million hosts, crowned as Lords, and commanded by Ajudus and Justin, embarked, and set sail for Paradise, the heavenly place of God, Jehovih's Son.
To work the fire-boat there were four hundred thousand slaves, composed of the spirits of such as had been on earth, popes, archbishops, bishops, cardinals, priests, and others who were serving their bondage of two hundred years (as they verily believed in purgatory), for the privilege of ultimately crawling on their bellies through the arena of the palace, and to approach near enough to look upon Looeamong, their supposed all highest God and Savior.
Es said: After the Light of Jehovih came to God, saying: Go, provide mortals to cross the ocean, to build up the western continent, God ceased striving to redeem the four heavenly kingdoms of the four false Gods, but directed his energies, to regain a broader earth-anchorage, for sake of Jehovih's kingdom.
So, God sent down from Paradise, one Melkazad, crowned as Lord, with ten thousand angels in his command to inspire migration to Guatama, and to make the country known to the eastern peoples.
And it came to pass, that Columbo, thus inspired of God, through his holy angels, did discover the western continent, not knowing, he was under inspiration.
It was shortly after this, that the angel hosts from etherea came down to the throne of God in Paradise, to labor with him in providing for the approach of the kosmon era.
Now, whilst God and his angels in the heavenly kingdom of Paradise were rejoicing because of the success of Columbo, which had been reported by Melkazad to God, behold, in that same time it was, that the etherean ship of Litabakathrava arrived.
And God received the ethereans with great rejoicing; and, after due ceremonies, God declared a recreation of three days, that the angels of Paradise might rejoice, before Jehovih, because the a'ji of so many hundreds of years was breaking away, and because of Columbo's success, and because of the coming of the ethereans.
At the end of three days, the trumpet called the Holy Council of God, to resume labor before the throne.
Then, the marshals from various places in Gods kingdoms called their students and laborers, and withdrew to their several departments.
The Holy Council resumed their places before God, and God ascended the throne, and order was.
Then, God called the ethereans, Chonling, Thetchaya, Che Sin, Bornothetes, Atavia and Thotagawawa to come and honor the throne.
Whereupon, these visiting Gods did as commanded.
Then spake God, saying: What tribute, O Jehovih, can I pay to Thy Son, Litabakathrava?
Thereupon, all the Holy Council, one million, rose to their feet, and then all the Gods rose up also.
God said: Come you, honor my throne.
Then, Litabakathrava walked up, and sat on the throne of God.
When he was seated, God commanded all the rest to be seated.
You hast given me great honor, O God of the earth and her heavens.
Yet, O God, be not puffed up with the hope of sudden success.
The four false Gods will fight you* to the death; only till they go down in hell, can Jehovih's kingdom come.
On all the planetary worlds it is ever the same; certain four false Gods rise up to possess the corporeal worlds and her heavens.
Neither should man be bound more by the doctrines of this God or that God, or by this Savior or that Savior, nor by any of the ancient books, nor by inspirations of the olden times.
But he should know how to obtain inspirations from My Gods, and My heavens for his own good, and for his own wisdom.
My Gods should minister unto all nations and peoples to these ends, to bring them together in peace and harmony, to open the ports of those that have been seclusive nations and peoples, to persuade them to put away war and the glory of destruction, to make nations and peoples acceptable to one another.
The Voice of the Light ceased, and all about the throne of God was like a sea of golden fire.
Accordingly, he went down, and sat on the foot of the throne, and then, God descended, and took his hand, saying: Arise, Orian Chief, Jehovih's Son, and go your* way.
So Litabakathrava passed down into the arena, and saluted on the sign, DAWN OF KOSMON, and God answered in the sign, FORTIFIED IN JEHOVIH’S NAME!
Es said: Now, behold, just as the ship of Litabakathrava had risen upward, and was on its way starting forth, the fire-boats of the four false Gods arrived in Paradise.
Neither would any of them confer with God, Jehovih's Son, for they had been thus commanded by the respective false Gods.
The captain of this boat had said: It is not sufficient that I come here, and find the foreign God departed.
And one of the people, being unguarded, said: Behold, it is well with us that we rejoice; God, Jehovih's Son, hath inspired a new mortal anchorage.
The captain of the fire-boat thus discovered one of the plans of God for redeeming the world; but the captain disclosed not his joy, though presently, he and his hosts went aboard and departed, making all haste to Hapsendi, the heaven of Looeamong, the false Kriste.
And, by inspiration, Looeamong's warrior angels did set the rulers of Spain against Columbo, and had him cast in prison, thus breaking the chain of inspiration between Columbo and the throne of God.
When God saw how evil had already taken root in these countries, behold, he was doubly resolved to obey Jehovih's commandment, in regard to the inquisitions, in which Jehovih had said:
And the time should come when you should withdraw your*** protecting angel hosts from these cities; and, behold, these angels of vengeance will come forth and visit their wrath upon this false God and his kingdoms.
So, God was strong in resolution to let evil take its course; and, so, in all countries where the false Kriste had been afflicting mortals, God withdrew his protecting hosts, leaving those countries and those heavens to take their course.
And God foresaw that now was the time to inspire the western nations of Uropa to great learning and to science and to philosophy and to western migration.
So, God sent angels to teach man once more the telescope and the are of printing; and to inspire man to question the spiritual powers of kings.
Thus was Looeamong's power in great measure locked up in managing his disrupted kingdoms, whilst God's holy angels pursued the road of righteous development for the coming era of kosmon.
Es said: When God saw that Looeamong's warrior angels had come upon the earth regions, discovered by Columbo, God withdrew, saying:
Now it did come to pass, as spoken by God, the central lands of Guatama, from sea to sea, fell under the dominion of the warrior angels of Looeamong, the false Kriste, and they became warriors and destroyers; nor rose they in peace, nor wisdom, nor in anything good under the sun.1 But they lived as pilferers, debauchees, warriors, murderers and idolaters of the false Kriste.
God had said: I will go to the northward, to the western coast of Uropa, and my angel hosts should inspire another people to migrate to Guatama for conscience sake (Jehovih's sake).
And so, God sent his angel hosts amongst the factions of western Uropa, and inspired mortals to rise up, and depart out of that country for conscience sake.
And they that were inspired of God crossed over the ocean, and landed in Guatama, and they named the place of their landing Plymouth Rock, saying: For God's sake and for liberty, help us, O Thou, our Creator.
And thus it came to pass, as regard this false Kriste and his affairs with God:
God had said: Suffer these hardships to my people to be recorded, for in kosmon, they should be testimony of the power of heaven on mortals.
Es said: Hear you, O earth, and you, heavens of the earth, of the ways of Jehovih, through his God, in this, His kingdom.
Now, after the etherean angels came to Paradise, in answer to God's prayer for help, God divided his hosts unto all the earth and the heavens thereof, not for sudden triumph by violent means, but to the end that man should, in after years, comprehend the wisdom and glory of Jehovih.
So, God made eleven divisions of his hosts, four divisions for the earth, and seven for the heavens of the earth.
And as chiefs of the four divisions for the earth, he appointed, Eezen, Khan, Ah Cho and Lakash, to go to hada, the heavenly kingdoms of the four false Gods, to establish a guard, thence to the earth.
And God gave to each of them one thousand million hosts to labor with them.
And when these were all selected, and had come before the throne of God, he said unto them:
Because the four false Gods have accomplished all the good they can accomplish, and are now only leading mortals and angels down into darkness, I should presently cut them and their supplies off from the earth.
For there are more than three hundred million spirits in the hadan heavens, who were put to untimely deaths, in order to establish the false Brahma, the false Budha, the false Kriste, and the false God-Gabriel.
Guard well these spirits, for once they congregate for vengeance sake, they will cast their Gods in hell.
God then called up the other seven of the Holy Eleven, to wit: Yopes Loe, Likar, Vadhuan, Ardolfus, Yutemis, Zahawee and Yedna, together with their seven thousand million hosts, and he said unto them:
Behold, the eleven kingdoms which have been preparing for more than two thousand years should now be opened up, and established, with roadways to the kingdoms of the four false Gods.
After this, God appointed twelve of the etherean Gods and Goddesses as a Severing Host, and he allotted to them six thousand million angels to work with them, when the time should require them.
To these twelve Gods and Goddesses, God said: When the time is at hand, behold, ye should take your six thousand million hosts, and cut off all the earth supplies on which the four false Gods and their kingdoms subsist.
Their drujas should be liberated; none should stay them; and they should fall upon their Gods' kingdoms, and despoil them utterly, and cast their false Gods into hell (anarchy).
So, these twelve Gods and Goddesses saluted and departed for their labor also.
Now, as yet, none but the Holy Council and the Gods and Goddesses knew the plans of God, Jehovih's Son, nor the object and labor provided unto the hosts sent thus forth to all parts of the earth and the hadan (lowest) heavens.
Nevertheless, God had commanded the officers to maintain lines of light with his throne in Paradise, so that concert of action would manifest all around the earth, in the same moment of time.
Now, therefore, be it known, that of the fire-boats and crews sent by the false Gods to Paradise, only one, Looeamong's, returned to tell the tale of chagrin and disappointment in not meeting the etherean God, Litabakathrava.
When the three false Gods, Ennochissa, Kabalactes, and Gabriel-God, heard of the proceedings of their traitorous subjects, they, separately, declared war against the pretenders.
In not many years, therefore, from this small beginning, great wars engrossed these three false Gods' kingdoms on every side, but wholly interior to each one's kingdom.
Which enabled God, Jehovih's Son, to pursue the two great plans for the redemption of mortals and angels.
So, as soon as God had provided a sufficient protecting host of angels for the Ka'yuans, he devoted his energies to Guatama and her heavens.
Whilst the heavens of the earth were thus stirred up with war and with anticipated misfortunes and strange doctrines, there came to Paradise, before the throne of God, a host of seven thousand angels who had been victims of the inquisitions under the inspiration of the false Kriste, Looeamong, praying an audience with God.
Accordingly, after the chief marshal had announced this before the throne and Holy Council, God commanded them to approach, and speak.
Most Holy God, Jehovih's Son, greeting in love, in pity and in anger!
We are not Gods, nor pure, nor holy.
We have not such mercy and forgiveness as become Gods.
One step higher, O God.
Now, behold, the rumor hath come to us, that you wilt establish Guatama free from the dominion of Gods and Saviors.
God said unto them: My brothers and sisters, in the name of Jehovih, I welcome you.
My angel hosts should inspire the mortals of Guatama to found a government free from the dominion of Gods and Saviors.
Es said: Since three hundred years, the loo'is of God's allotment to the earth, had been providing the generations of men unto the coming work of God.
And through these had God, Jehovih's Son, raised up one thousand two hundred men, to be directly under the inspiration of the second resurrection, for establishing an emancipated government for mortals.
Chief of these men raised up by God, to establish the foundation of Jehovih's kingdom with mortals, were the following, all of whom stood above grade eighty, to wit:
Into the hands of these seven men did Jehovih, through God, His Son, place the leadership of the mortal hosts; and they were under the guidance of Jehovih's Lord, Yotahiza.
The doctrines of God, Paine proclaimed publicly; and they were printed, and circulated amongst the inhabitants of Guatama.
And it came to pass, that they fell into the hands of such men and women as had been previously prepared by God to receive them.
Looeamong, the false Kriste, perceived the design of God, Jehovih's Son, and immediately sent down to the earth, to Guatama, two thousand angel warriors, to overthrow Paine's doctrines, and to precipitate the colonies into war against the home government in western Uropa.
The Lord, Yotahiza, now assigned the army of the inquisition, the seven thousand angels sent of God, to be the protecting hosts to the seven leaders of the Guatama revolt.
God spake to the angel commander of these hosts, saying: Though your* hosts inspire these mortals to liberty as to earthly things, yet you should also take advantage of this opportunity to sow the seed of higher spiritual light amongst them.
And God caused the commander of the angels who had accomplished this work, to call his hosts together, that they might hear the voice of Jehovih.
Of which matters God had previously sent word to Aroqu, that a chain of light might be made to the upper heavens.
Now, when the angels of the inquisition were thus assembled before God, and duly placed by the marshals, God caused the light to be lowered, so that they might rejoice rather than suffer because of its brilliancy.
And when God sat on the throne, and the es'enaurs had chanted unto Jehovih glory for having founded the republic of mortals, a ray of light was seen descending from the upper realms, and it extended down to the throne of God, where now, on all sides, the illumination was in splendor.
You**** have lifted them above the bondage of Gods.
The Voice ceased; but God spake unto his marshals, saying: Provide you**** an avalanza sufficient for the ascension of these my beloved angels, and take them to the fields and forests of Attusasabak, in the Ortheon plateau, where I have already provided them ample residences.
And when they were within, God again spake to them, saying:
No God nor Lord nor Savior should be enforced in this land!
For three hundred years prior to the above transactions, the four false Gods had been in war to a limited extent in their heavens, and for certain earth possessions also.
But neither of the above false Gods was a match for Thoth, alias God-Gabriel.
Under the name and doctrines of Mohammed, he had made great inroads upon the possessions of the other two false Gods, both as to the earth and the heavens thereof.
And yet, on the other hand, Looeamong, the false Kriste, had taken advantage of all the other three false Gods.
Now, although Looeamong had been beaten by the wisdom of God, in possessing the colonies of Guatama, nevertheless, Looeamong still hoped to regain the country to himself.
When the right time came, Jehovih spake to God, saying: My Son, behold, the kosmon era is near, and the light of the arc of su'is enter''' the fields of Paradise.
The four false Gods, the perpetuators of the beast, will call out in agony, but you should heed them not in My judgments.
Then God sent forth his disciplined hosts, twelve thousand millions, to cut off the supplies of the earth.
Even as a mortal general cut off the supplies of a wicked city to subdue it, so was the accumulated power of the All Light upon the four kingdoms of the four false Gods, they that had proclaimed themselves the Saviors of mortals and angels.
And the angels of God spread around about the whole earth!
And these angel armies were officered and drilled to work in concert, with lines of light extending to the throne of God.
And God spake in Paradise, by means of the lines of light, and his voice went into all the mighty armies of his hosts, the twelve thousand million, saying:
Then, the hosts of God marched in between the drujas, the worshipers of the four false Gods, and their mortal harvests.
And the drujas turned to their respective Gods, the false Brahma, the false Budha, and Gabriel of Kalla, and the false Kriste, crying out: Behold, our supplies are cut off!
How, then, hath another God come between?
The four false Gods heard the cry of anger and suspicion in their mighty kingdoms; heard the wailings of the sixty thousand millions.
Give unto us, O you, our God, or hell should be your*** portion!
Thus, it came to pass, as had been foretold by God, whereof he had said: Anarchy should encompass your heavenly kingdoms, and you* should yet own that you* are false before Jehovih.
And the four false Gods, fearing the fires of hell, went about, crying out: I am not the true Brahma!
I am not the true God!
And, when their fury was started, behold, the vast multitudes rushed for the false Gods, and fell upon them, beat them, suffocated them with foul smells, covered them up with suffocating gases, walled them in with sulfurous fires.
And they brought the officers and priests and monks and high officers, and cast them into hells also, millions and millions of high-ruling angels of the false Gods.
Thus were these four false Gods hemmed in, even within their own dissolute kingdoms, and every day and every hour grew more terrible.
Then Jehovih's God, from Paradise, went forth in a ship of fire, brilliant, past the endurance of drujas; went forth with ten millions high in the grades; ten millions against sixty thousand millions.
God brought these from the realms of Aroqu and Harivya, well disciplined for the purpose.
And God gathered in from the highest grades of the disrupted heavenly kingdoms thirteen thousand million homeless angels, who had been worshipers of the four false Gods.
And God had them sent to Luana, on the plateau, Hivestos, where he officered them in colonies, with places for education and labor.
God said unto them: You* hoped to ascend to Jehovih's highest kingdoms by prayers and confessions to false Gods.
Es said: Now, was God, Jehovih's Son, master of the whole earth and her heavens.
The light of the arc had fallen on the throne of God.
A thousand million ethereans had arrived to labor with God, in clearing away the hells of the lower heavens, and in providing for opening the gates of the heavens for the angels to appear unto mortals.
Besides these, there were forty-six other Goddesses, each with a host of angels who had in the ancient times striven against Jehovih, in favor of some false God.
But now, in the coming of kosmon, behold they returned as pure and exalted Gods and Goddesses.
And God, Jehovih's Son, called forth all these one-time persecutors, and he said unto them:
And bring you**** the chief false Gods before me.
Then went forth the Gods and Goddesses as appointed by God to deliver the twenty-four hells of the heavens of the earth.
And from these hells, there were thus delivered more than seventy thousand million angels; who were carried to the plateaux, prepared for them by God, Jehovih's Son.
And God had also provided unto them, in their new heavenly places, divisions and sub-divisions, with generals, captains, overseers and other such officers, necessary to prevent them running into knots and hells again.
Of the false Gods and Goddesses thus delivered and brought before God, in Paradise, for judgment, the chiefs of them were: Ashtaroth, Dagon, Ashdod, Yotemas, Sathias, Goluth, Plutoya, Itis, Hamgad, Moak, Hoar, Baal, Ennochissa, Kabalactes, Gabriel and Looeamong.
Besides these, there were seventy other false Gods and Goddesses delivered, but who were not brought before the throne of God, but were sent to hospitals, because they were in chaos.
God had previously provided Paradise, through his Holy Council, for the time of the judgment of the false Gods, that were brought before him.
So the Holy Councils were formed in crescent, so that the throne of God laid between the horns thereof, in order to promote the Voice.
The marshals then brought the false Gods and Goddesses into the arena of circle where the light should fall upon them.
Es said: The Voice spake out of the light over the throne of God, saying:
And they heeded not My commandments, but made worshipful other Gods than Me, so should they reap the harvest they have sown.
Because they professed salvation in the names of false Gods, I let them run their course; and, lo and behold, they have shown no salvation in heaven or earth.
Hear the words of Jehovih, O you**** false Gods and Goddesses, who set up heavenly kingdoms against Me.
You****, who have used your names to lead mortals and angels away from the Creator; saying of yourselves: Behold me, I am the Lord; I am God; my heavenly place is the all highest.
God said: The words that come out of man's mouth, even though they profess prayers and repentance, are of little avail before Jehovih.
If such, then, by My judgments unto mortals who serve false Gods, how much greater, then, must be the penalty upon the false Gods, who set themselves up to establish these iniquities?
Hear you****, then, the judgment of Jehovih: Whosoever hath established the name of any God but the Creator, and made it worshipful on earth or in heaven, should be bound in the first resurrection till that name is no longer worshipful on earth or in heaven.
And whatever God or Goddess hath said: Come unto me, you**** that are heavily laden, and I will give you rest, for I am the way of salvation and of light and of everlasting life, then, that God or Goddess should be bound in the first resurrection as long as mortals or angels go unto him or her.
Behold, as such a God called, and they answered unto him, so do I give unto both, the God that call''', and the subject that run unto him.
But, when a subjectgo to a God, and saith: Behold, you hast said: Whither I go, I will call all men unto me, and I believed in you*,--then that God should not put him away.
But, when any of these Gods were no longer worshipped, behold, I gave them no more subjects.
Es said: And now, when the Voice ceased, and all was still, the false Gods and Goddesses raised up their heads, and they spake with one voice, saying:
God's marshals removed them to the places allotted for them, and they went to work.
Es said: Such, then, was the fate of the chief false Gods in the lower heavens.
But, during the last three or four hundred years, many of the officers of these false Gods had seceded from them, and had set up small heavenly kingdoms of their own.
These little heavens were, for the most part, situated on the earth, and usually these small Gods inhabited the churches where mortals came to worship.
And the preachers within these churches fell under the inspiration of these itinerant Gods and their gangs of wandering spirits.
In Guatama, these inspirations were carried to such an extent, by these drujan Gods, that the mortals of one sect were made hostile, one sect against another.
And, not only on earth, between mortals, did these things take place, but these petty Gods had small kingdoms of their own; as a presbyterian heaven; a methodist heaven; a baptist heaven, and so on.
And, when he cried out: I want to go to Jesus, I want to go to Kriste, he was shown the drujan God, and told: That is he!
A drujan God, Piad, established a sect, and named it Mormon, and he located his kingdom on earth with his mortal followers, and he became master over the spirits of his mortal followers in the same way, calling himself, the TRUE KRISTE.
Another drujan God, Lowgannus, established a kingdom on earth, and named it Shaker Heaven, pretending he was the TRUE KRISTE.
Another drujan God, Sayawan, established a heavenly kingdom on earth, and called it THE ALL HIGHEST HEAVEN.
Thus did this drujan God establish a Swedenborg heaven, and mortals looked upon him as the true Kriste, and, after death, their souls went thither.
And, as it was with Looeamong's heavenly kingdoms, thus split into hundreds of remnants, even so was it with the heavenly kingdoms of the other false Gods, Brahma, the false, and Budha, the false, so that there were on the earth thousands of petty Gods' heavenly kingdoms of darkness and misery.
Now, all of these drujan Gods, whether of Chine'ya, or Vind'yu, or Arabin'ya, or Uropa, or Guatama, rejected Jehovih, but took the name of some one of the four false Gods, and protested that he himself was the real and true God and Savior.
God had said: Behold, I give a new testimony unto the nations of the earth: In the time I overcame, and cast out the four heads of the beast, the acrimony existing between different sects began, suddenly, to die out, and they spake friendly to one another.
Es said: Now, whilst the Holy Council were still sitting in Paradise, a light, like a star, came, and stood above the throne of God.
Behold, the false Gods are cast out, and sent unto their places.
Never more should there be any other false God, or Lord, or Savior, to lead My people away.
Go, then, My God, My Son, open the gates of heaven unto mortals.
Then God called out the legions who had the matter in charge, where mortals had been born for the work of Jehovih's kingdom.
And God said:
Then will I reveal Myself; and they that deny Me should accept Me; of their own accord will they put away their Lords and their Gods and their Saviors; nor should they more have idols of Me, either on earth or in heaven, for I am sufficient unto all.
Now, when God looked abroad over Guatama, he saw four millions of people in bondage, as slaves; and he saw that they must be liberated.
And so, God inquired of the chief mathematician in the Holy Council, one Arak, saying: Who, of all the kings of earth, hath had the greatest number of slaves?
God said: Send you a heavenly ship for him, and for a thousand million of his angels.
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.
Then came the Gods and angels, high in the grades, to witness the play of mortal death, and to determine how best to win to liberty and to Jehovih, the inhabitants of this great land.
God had said: It is an easy matter to win in war; but to make mortals see the triumph of righteousness, is not so easy.
Now, when the Gods numbered the mortals and graded them, they discovered the majority had turned to freedom's side.
And I went to Vind'yu also, and established a mighty people with a multiplicity of Gods and languages.
I raised My hand against a God being founded in their constitution; neither will I have them to fight battles for Me.
Es said: God, Jehovih's Son, was relieved of his arduous toils over the earth and her heavens; and his successor, and the Lords were duly crowned.
Then, the Chieftainesses and high Gods and Goddesses, from the etherean heavens, prepared for the marriage of Jehovih's Brides and Bridegrooms.
And God and his Lords and high officers called in all heavenly grades prepared for the third resurrection; and there were, in all, twenty-seven thousand million Brides and Bridegrooms.
And, after them, God and his Lords and high officers.
With more than forty thousand million angels aboard, rose the avalanzas above the pillars of fire, above the throne of God, higher and higher, turned and rose the ships of the hosts of Jehovih.
1.God said: This Book should be called Eskra, because it is the history of the heavenly cycle, Bon.
As it hath been revealed to you already, in regard to the successions of the God, and the periods of dan, and the division of the higher from the lower heavens, it is sufficient unto you to know that which is given of God is of him who is Jehovih's voice, without regard to which administration, or which God.
Wherefrom mortals have concluded there are neither Lords nor God, who are Jehovih's high officers in these kingdoms.
Therefore the light of this Book of Eskra is not of one God, or one Lord, or one recording angel, who are constantly succeeding one another, but of the body of the first heavens of the earth for the period of this cycle which is now at the close.
God, Son of Jehovih, said: Give ear, O earth, and be attentive to the words of Jehovih's Son:
Hear you the words of your God.
And call you**** up the successors to Hibin, and the primal Gods under him of his six mighty heavens.
And Ong Woo, the successor to Anuhasaj, of the heavenly regions, the a'ji'an forest, Turpeset, with her twelve heavenly kingdoms; the place of Negathogan and Shumat and Thorokak and Enisshappaga and Habor and Amga and Magossa and Dhi Wan and Seffakostrus and Inubib and Marh and Wischowitcha, and to the primal Gods and generals and captains.
And to their primal Gods and successors, and to their generals and captains.
And to their primal Gods and successors, and to their generals and captains.
And to their primal Gods and their successors, and to their generals and captains.
And to their primal Gods and successors, and to their generals and captains.
And to all other Gods of the heavenly regions of atmospherea, the hada of the earth; and to their successors and generals and captains; and to the heavenly, hadan regions of Sho'e'gan, with her twenty-eight sub-kingdoms, and to the heavenly, hadan regions of Ghi'e'wan, with her forty-four sub-kingdoms, and to their exalted officers and teachers, heavenly Sons and Daughters of Jehovih.
And to the plateau of Narid, in the second resurrection, with her two hundred heavenly kingdoms, their Gods and generals and captains and high teachers, Sons and Daughters of Jehovih.
And to the plateau of Yakabba, two thousand miles high, with her six hundred heavenly kingdoms, and their Gods and high officers.
And to the plateau of Yannurib, two thousand one hundred miles high, with her four hundred heavenly kingdoms, and their Gods and high officers.
And the seven plateaux of Havagamatris, with their two thousand heavenly kingdoms, and their Gods and high officers.
And the six plateaux of Vraggaomen, with their fourteen hundred heavenly kingdoms, and their Gods and high officers.
And the fourteen plateaux of Ghemayumaistra, with their three thousand four hundred heavenly kingdoms, and their Gods and high officers.
And to all other plateaux in the heavens of the earth, the atmospherean regions, and to the Gods of all heavenly kingdoms in these lower heavens; the intermediate world of the angels raised up out of the earth.
God said: Jehovih called upon me, His Son, saying: My Son!
For My Gods and high-raised officers should open unto you* their libraries of heavenly books which should yield up My treasures.
My Gods and My primal Gods and generals and captains should uncover their proceedings before the heavens and the earth.
Even Lords and Gods are as nothing in My hands.
I am the sum of the Voice of all the lower heavens; the doings of Gods and high officers; the Person of the word of three thousand years.
Then spake God, saying:
He single not out one man or one God, and saith: Behold, by him judge you**** Me and My works!
For I summed up all the Gods of the hadan regions of the earth, and all their high officers in the plateaux and heavenly kingdoms thereof, and I named them, GOD!
As one, even God, made I them in my past revelations on the earth.
Of this hadan heaven, and of her Gods and their labors made I two words, GOD and HEAVEN, and Eskra is the sermon thereof.
In which sermon all resurrection is of God, who is Jehovih's Son; but to distinguish from which (God) I named all that desired not resurrection in heaven, but loved more the earth, SATAN.
As God and heaven are of the resurrection, so are satan, hell and the devil of the declension.
Nor can any of the Gods, however exalted, give to or take away these things.
These are from Jehovih and in Him; and all angels, the Gods and Lords, and generals and captains and chiefs in heaven are but the brothers and sisters of mortals and the spirits of the dead.
And yet, O man of the earth, and you, angel of the heavens of the earth, be not puffed up or make light of the Gods, or Lords, or Saviors, or Chiefs of the heavens, for you are compared to them but as a drop of water is compared to the ocean.
As a man amongst you employ a thousand men to do his bidding, so have I, your God, thousands of millions of angels to speak in my name.
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.
The Lord said: This is the labor of God after the dawn of the arc of Bon:
God crowned four thousand Lords, and titled them LORDS OF THE HEAVENLY HOSTS.
And God allotted to every one of them one hundred messengers and fifty heralds, and gave them authority to provide their own attendants in their own way.
God said: That I may hear the voices of my Lords, when you* are within your own kingdoms, you* should appoint representatives unto my throne.
Now therefore the Lords of the Hosts elected the Holy Eleven, and God anointed them, and their names were entered in the libraries of the heavens.
And God gave authority to the Holy Eleven to speak before the throne, after the manner of the Councils of the higher heavens.
God said unto the Lords of the Hosts: Your work is a good work.
But the Holy Eleven were duly installed and took their places in front of the throne of God.
And God appointed two thousand supervisors unto each of the Holy Eleven; and eight thousand eight hundred surveyors; and four thousand four hundred captains of roads, and said unto them: Go you**** and build roadways between all the heavenly kingdoms in atmospherea.
And God gave authority to Toyvraghah to examine the records and make the apportionment of officers and laborers on the roads, and he thus accomplished these things.
God said: My heavens should be divided into eleven parts, one unto each of the Holy Eleven.
God said: From this time forth all heavenly marriages of Brides and Bridegrooms to Jehovih should take place in Harivya and Aroqu, instead of as heretofore, in the thousands of heavenly kingdoms.
And God caused the boundaries of Ad'dam and Hosea to embrace the eastern continents of the earth; but DamayaDamaya embraced the western.
To the Lords of the Hosts, God had said: The great love that mortals have for their kindred who are dead, is like a chord forever pulling their souls back to earth.
They cry out to me continually: O God, send you back to me the spirit of my kin!
And likewise doth the es'yan cry out to me: O God, take me back to my mortal kin!
And the Lords carried out the commandment of God.
God said of Chine'ya: This is a good work.
God said: No people can advance much whilst they have many languages.
The Leviticans worshiped the Great Spirit under the names, Lord and God.
In the great city of Paradise, heavenly seat of God, were the multitudes of angels, the thousands of millions made to look upward, outward, to know the Almighty.
And Baal, God of the idolaters, heard and saw, and gloried in the course; and he hastened to the scene with millions of his angel slaves to inspire the Israelites to glory in the Lord and God, whom he assumed to be.
She said: I see now how this traitorous God hath planned to beat me in the regions west of Heleste and Uropa.
Yea, I will send my legions also amongst the Israelites, and inspire them that I, Ashtaroth, am the only true Lord and true God.
God, Son of Jehovih, through his Holy Council, in Paradise, his heavenly seat, now decreed:
God saw this, and he called out to them; through his messengers he called unto them, saying: Having lost your kingdoms, why will you lose yourselves?
If great De'yus was overcome and cast into hell, why not our God also?
So they heeded not God.
And there came to Paradise, of Lords and high officers, whose heavenly places had fallen, different companies of tens and twenties and even hundreds, from various heavenly regions around about the earth, and having secured audience before God and his Holy Council, they said:
God said unto them: Of what profit under the sun is discussion?
Thus they came, group after group, for years, before God; but were forever rebuked in the spirit of Jehovih, and they went away, but not to work righteously, but to sympathize with one another, and to complain against God and against the Holy Council of Paradise.
And God admonished them, saying: Though you* be wise in your own conceit, yet should ye fail.
But nevertheless, the confederacy heeded not the words of God.
And God was grieved at heart, for Jehovih's sake.
GOD PROVIDE FOR THE BIRTH OF KA'YU.
God said: Behold, three conditions are now within the heavens of the earth; Anarchy by the false Gods and their slaves, the confederacy of the Holy Ghost, and the Faithists in Jehovih and His resurrections.
Now, therefore, let my chief loo'is come before me, and hear the decree of God.
The Lord said: When the chief loo'is had come before the throne, God said unto him:
This is a most welcome labor, O God.
God said: In Jehovih's name, you* I crown, CHIEF OF THE HOSTS OF LOO棚S, for the land of Chine'ya, for the birth of an heir for the All Voice of the Great Spirit.
Thoanactus was then crowned, and his hosts were provided with badges by God, for they were filed before the throne, and hosts saluted, and departed with due ceremony.
Such, then, was God's labor for having born into the mortal world, after many generations, one that hath become known to the uttermost regions of the earth as KA'YU.
GOD PROVIDE FOR THE BIRTH OF SAKAYA.1
Again God called before his throne a million loo'is, and appointed Etchessa chief over them, saying:
God said: To which end I crown you*, CHIEF OF LOO棚S, for the land of Vind'yu!
And God crowned Etchessa; and he gave badges to the other loo'is.
And thereafter Etchessa and his hosts filed past the throne of God, duly saluting, and they also departed, going to the earth, to the land of Vind'yu.
Thus were loo'is empowered of God, to bring into the world the heir.
Hamonastas, one of the chief marshals of God, and for the heavenly city of Paradise, came before the throne, duly saluting, and saying:
O God, Son of Jehovih, I would speak before you*!
God said: Speak you, my son.
Hamonastas said: There stand without the city of Paradise, beyond the pillars of fire, and in company with your*** high-raised captains, one, Nu-ghan, delivered from one of the hells of Hassa, over Egupt, and he cry out continually: O God, Son of Jehovih!
God said: Nu-ghan!
And now, when he was quite before the throne of God, God said to him: Behold me, I am God, Son of Jehovih: what wouldst thou?
But the man heard not what God said, but kept crying out as before.
Whereupon God said unto the keepers: Remove you**** the blinds a little, that the light may come upon him.
And when God saw his deplorable suffering, he inquired of his keepers, how long the man had been in hell, and they said: Seventy and six years, and in a knot, three years!
God said: I know that this is Pharaoh, who persecuted the Jews.
And the keepers took the spirit, Nu-ghan, without the city, as commanded by God.
And God sent Haeroponitis, sister of Raban, a swift messenger, in an arrow-ship of fire, to the etherean worlds, to Gussawanitcha, to Lika's sojourning place at that time, commanding her to lay the matter before the Nirvanian chief, Lika.
And, after some days, we arrived in the heavens of the earth, even at the city of Paradise, the abiding place of God.
When it was known in Paradise, that Moses was coming, great joy was manifested, for God and the Holy Eleven and the Holy Council, all desired to see Moses.
And God commanded the full board of marshals and also the musicians to go without the capital, and meet Moses, and escort him before the throne.
And they accomplished these things; and Moses came before the throne of God, saluting in the sign, JUDGMENT OF TIME!
And God answered him under the sign, THY LABOR IS OUR JOY AND GLORY!
And God said: In Jehovih's name, O Moses, come you, and honor my throne.
And Moses went up, and sat on the throne, on the right hand of God.
Your God should be my God.
God said: Should we not have a day of recreation first?
And he was still crying out: O God, Son of Jehovih!
The blinds and muffles on Nu-ghan fell off, and he stood silent and motionless, gazing with fixed awe upon the holy scene, and upon Moses on the throne of God!
You, Most High God of Moses, my Deliverer.
Her people are divided and broken up, and many of them have become worshipers of the false Gods, Baal and Ashtaroth.
And when you hast perfected the generations of the Es'seans, you should have sent to thee from the throne of God certain loo'is, and they will labor with you* until an Israelite is born into the mortal world capable of the Father's Voice.2
And God appointed one hundred messengers unto Pharaoh, that word might be transmitted every month to Paradise.
God proclaimed a day of recreation in Paradise, that the inhabitants might meet Moses and his hosts, and rejoice therewith.
And now was God's attention directed to the Hebrews, the Faithists of western Arabin'ya, where the God Baal had gained access and power; having affiliated with one, Dagon, a false God, located in those regions, who maintained six earthly oracle-houses and a small heavenly kingdom of his own.
But the great majority of them were worshipers of the Lord and God, believing the Great Spirit was only a large man in heaven, after the manner of Baal, or Dagon, or Ashtaroth, or any other God.
God said of them: Though they pretend to be of many kinds, I see but two: Those who worship the Ever Present, Jehovih; and those who are drifting into heathenism.
The Gods of one city and temple teach one doctrine, and the Gods of another place teach another doctrine.
God had previously sent to Ebeneezer one, Jerub, with ten thousand assistant angel strategists, to be with the king of the Faithists.
Jerub now asked for other ten thousand, and God sent them to him.
And God said unto Jerub:
A war will presently result between Baal and Ashtaroth and Dagon and Haughak; and these Gods will not only war in heaven, but they will carry their battles down to mortals.
Take you heed, O Jerub, of the words of your*** God; and whilst Baal and Ashtaroth are in conflict and neglectful of the temples and oracles, possess you them.
Better is it, that these false Gods win unto themselves as dutiful subjects, five angels, than one mortal.
Guard you well all the colleges of prophecy against the emissaries of these false Gods.
There came to Paradise, God's heavenly place, one, Taenas, a messenger from the chiefs of the so-called Holy Confederacy.
God's chief marshal conducted him before God, and, being commanded to speak, he said:
Greeting to you, O God.
I have been instructed by them, what to say, and I declare unto you, O God, my words are their words.
Or one captain, or one God?
God said: Proceed.
God said: It seem''' so.
God said: Yea.
God said: Proceed you, and I will speak afterward.
Taenas said: We have seen in ages past, that peace hath been forever proclaimed by the followers of Jehovih; and that both on earth and in heaven such people become the sufferers and victims of tyrants of earth and of false Gods in heaven.
We behold evil Gods and evil spirits, assailing virtuous people on earth and in heaven.
More then are we to your*** favor, O God, than against you*.
For which reason we come to you*, O God, that you mayest know our foundation.
God said: Who then sayest you, men and angels should worship?
God said: You hast said: Our doctrine is, to beat the villain away from the virgin; but what wilt you, or your*** example, teach?
God said: And wilt you say to the peaceful and virtuous: Take up arms, give your enemies torments?
God said: And by what authority, if they inquire of you*?
God said: Hear me, then, O Taenas, and in love bear my words to your*** so-called Triune Confederacy, and to the high leaders, saying to them: thus saith God of Paradise, Son of Jehovih, according to the light of this throne:
And it will come to pass, your three heavenly places will become known on earth and in heaven as the Triune Gods, or Trinity!
A quarrel will ensue in your three heavenly kingdoms, and ye will become as three false Gods.
And since you**** profess not the All Person, each of ye three Gods will be forced to announce himself as such.
And yet, these Gods make slaves of their subjects, that worship them.
Taenas said: Nay, they are evil Gods.
God said: Who is master, and who is slave?
And they will pull you all down from your present high resolves; and ye will become tyrants and evil Gods yourselves, and meet the fate of all your predecessors.
Thus said the God of heaven and earth: Go you therefore with my words to the chiefs of the Triunes.
Taenas said: In reverence to you, O God, I go to them, that pity you for your*** too peaceful ways.
God called up Erastes, prince of messengers, and he said unto him: You hast heard the words of your* God and of Taenas.
Now, when God saw the great secession of his heavenly kingdoms, and their allegiance to the Triunes, his soul was filled with sorrow.
Should a God grieve, because his burden is made lighter?
Behold, in this day and hour the Gods and Lords of the Triune are rejoicing with great joy, because of these accessions.
So, God appointed many agents, different from messengers, for they were to be under the command of none but God.
God said unto them: You**** should go to the places I appoint unto each one of you, as travelers and sojourners in your own way, and observe the doings of the Triunes, especially the chiefs and leaders, Lords and Gods, and their teaching and government, and in your own good time depart out of the place and return hither and inform my Holy Council and my Holy Eleven.
The Lord said: The three heavenly kingdoms, Haractu, Eta-shong and Hapsendi, of the Triunes, were independent, but allianced for offence and defence against the evil Gods, Baal, Dagon, Shulleth, Ashtaroth and others, whose angel subjects were kept in slavery, and for evil purposes.
First, of Looeamong and the false Gods he overthrew:
And yet other millions of warring angels had she sent to the Parsi'e'an cities, and to the Eguptian cities, Daskrath, Babylon and Gonassah and Tyre and Romaxain and to the kings and queens of many other great cities, to inspire them to send forth armies to destroy, not only the worshipers of Jehovih, but all people that worshiped Baal, or Dagon, or any other God.
By force will I possess them; yea, by force drive hence all other angels and Gods.
And my warrior angels should possess these temples, so that whoso come to consult the Gods should receive mine own answers.
If I can not possess them, I will destroy them, so that no God should possess them.
And, after Xerxes hath despoiled and conquered all the earth regions, Baal and all other Gods should be driven away from the oracles and temples.
Xerxes should issue a decree, abolishing all other Gods but me, Ashtaroth.
And, when I am thus well anchored on the earth, I will turn my legions against this new upstart God, the Triune, Looeamong.
But the inhabitants of the far-off stars quarreled because of an evil God, Baal.
But lest other evil Gods take possession of his earthly places, they should also be destroyed.
Hear you* then the command of Ashtaroth, which is, that you* should go down to the earth, and obsess and inspire the Parsi'e'ans to march forth and destroy all other people on the earth, beginning first with the stronghold of Baal, in Argos, where he hath many sub-Gods under him, where the Argos'yans, not knowing him, call him, Zeus.
Baal, God of the Argos'yans [Greeks], called together two thousand million angel warriors, and after properly officering them, caused them to assemble in Bethhagas, a sub-kingdom of heaven over the Tillag mountains, to the north of Macedon, and he said unto them:
I am he, who was of old called, De'yus [Zeus], Lord God of heaven and earth.
Hear you, then, the commandment of your God, Baal, ruler of heaven and earth: You should go down to the earth, to the Argos'yans, and obsess them, man, woman and child, and inspire them to terrible deeds of blood and havoc and death against the Parsi'e'ans who are coming against them.
And they bound her, and carried her and her Lords and Gods off to Toosemmes, a heavenly place of foul smells, in Gotha, and they built here a place of torment for her and them, and cast them in.
Thus ended the God-ship of Ashtaroth.
Looeamong, the Triune God, said: This is the end, number one; next should fall Baal; and him will I cast in hell also.
Hear you****, next of Kabalactes, Triune God of Vind'yu and her heavens.
OF KABALACTES, TRIUNE, GOD OF VIND’YU, AND HER HEAVENS.
And then should my legion of angel warriors go forth to battle in these my heavens; and they should despoil all the false Lords and false Gods worshipped in Vind'yu.
One by one should Gods and tyrants fall by my hand; I will destroy them utterly and forever.
There is a God for you.
And to whatever Lord or God, mortals most incline to bow down, take you**** the name of that Lord or God.
He said: I will not only be powerful in might, but powerful in attractions, above all other Gods.
Hear you**** next of the Triune God, Ennochissa, of the heavenly place, Eta-shong, over Chine'ya.
And it came to pass that God, Jehovih's Son, in Paradise sowed the seed of faith in Chine'ya in favor of the Creator; so that, by the end of two hundred years, nearly all the spirits of the dead went not to the Triune, but to God in Paradise.
And God's angel missionaries went into this Triune's heavenly kingdom, and won many converts to Jehovih.
And he also resolved to drive out from his heavens all angels who believed in Jehovih, or who were missionaries unto the kingdom of God.
From this time on, Ennochissa was called by the Faithists in heaven, a false God.
From these scenes of horror turn you**** now, and learn of the kingdom of God, Jehovih's Son.
OF THE LABOR OF GOD, JEHOVIH’S SON.
These were the destructions, previously mentioned, done by the God Kabalactes, mortals supposing, they were under the God Brahma.
God, Jehovih's Son, had said to Etchessa, chief guardian angel over Sakaya: Thou should cause your*** ward to learn Brahminism, asceticism, and all other religions.
Etchessa, angel chief of the loo'is, that brought forth Sakaya, seeing the resolution of Sakaya, departed at once to Paradise, before God on the throne, to receive the commission of Jehovih, and to establish a line of es'ean light to the mortal sphere.
And thereupon, God caused his officers to select from the volunteers the highest grades, and to arrange them in a line of light down to the earth, to Sakaya, that the voice of God and his Holy Eleven might speak through Sakaya, with the wisdom of Jehovih.
The million loo'is were also summoned to their places in the line; and in five days' time, the light of the throne of God was made one with the soul of Sakaya, and he began preaching, even from the steps of the palace of the king, his father.
The young are your angels given you by the Creator; and you* are their Gods.
Whether you* call the Light, EOLIN, or ORMAZD, or GOD, or SUDGA, it matter''' little, provided the idea eliminated hath reference to that which is THE HIGHEST CONCEIVED OF, Who is Ever Present, and is the Person from which all persons sprung.
Whoso practice not the higher law, will not escape the tortures in hell; but whoso live the higher law will pass on to Nirvania, where dwell Gods and Goddesses of endless light.
For four years Sakaya preached, traveling from the east to the west, and from north to south; and wherever he went, great multitudes came to hear him, for God had so prepared them.
And there went with him seventy-two disciples, who were also inspired of God, to learn the wisdom of Sakaya's words.
So God gave Sakaya signs and miracles, even to showing the spirits of the dead, who came and stood beside him whilst he preached; and the spirits spake also, declaring Sakaya's words were of Jehovih.
Then God gave to Sakaya power of the DEATH CAST [swoon] whereat his own spirit went out of his corporeal body, and stood in the presence of many men, and was seen by them; and his spirit spake to them, and they heard his words.
And whilst his spirit was thus out of his corporeal body, another angel of God came and inhabited it, and spake before the multitude.
Then answered God to Sakaya, saying: By your*** death by the hand of the idolater.
Then God cut asunder the cord of light that extended to the heavenly throne in Paradise.
And in the night thereafter, God sent a million angels into the field of ashes, with a heavenly ship of fire, and they took the spirit of Sakaya therein, and bore him up to the throne of God.
Thoanactus, Chief of the million loo'is sent by God down to the earth, to Chine'ya, to raise up an heir capable of the voice of God, sent word to God in Paradise, saying:
Greeting to you*, O God, in the name of Jehovih.
God returned answer to Thoanactus, saying: In Jehovih's name all praise to you* and thy hosts.
Thoanactus, greeting to God, Son of Jehovih: Ling, sun king of Chine'ya, with twelve sub-kingdoms, one to represent every month of the year.
Of the angel emissaries of the Triune God, fifteen hundred millions.
Ka'yu grew up to be a man, in every way adapted to the work for which the loo'is had had him born into the world by command of God.
And it also came to pass, that disciples were also born, and duly prepared by the angels of God to become co-workers with Ka'yu.
God had said: Suffer not Ka'yu and his chief disciples to know they are instruments in my hands.
When Ka'yu was ready for the work of God, there came to him from the twelve provinces of Chine'ya seventy-two men and women of great learning, having heard of Ka'yu's wisdom.
Let us conduct ourselves as Gods; the Great Spirit will then answer us.
Let us sit in crescent, after the manner of Gods.
God established a line of light from his throne in heaven down to Ka'yu; by the presence of half a thousand million angels maintained he this light of heaven with mortals.
That which was inspired of God, came to the soul of Ka'yu; what God spake, that spake Ka'yu.
And God so spake through Ka'yu, that man might not know it was God speaking; for he desired to inspire men to self-culture, instead of relying on Gods and angels as heretofore.
In the language of Ka'yu, the Great Spirit was called Shang Te; but the word, Te, was God; the words, the Shang Te, were the Gods.
We must, therefore, make one book acknowledging the EVER PRESENT GREAT SPIRIT, and His one, SHANG TE [True God] And this book must contain all the glory and beauty now contained in the seven hundred sacred books of the empire.
In a dark age, Shang Te (True God) give his commandments in injunctions; he showe the people, what is right, and what is wrong.
God (Te) forbid that I may add more to the burden we have already.
He should torture his flesh, by fastings, and by lying naked on sharp stones, and by flagellations, and otherwise showing before the Gods how displeased he is with his corporeal body.
Shang Te (the true God) hath shaped the times to our hands.
Two kinds of men I have found; those who are predestined by the Gods to accomplish a certain work, and those who are born with no predestination.
The first are erroneously called the highest, because they are at the head of great undertakings; but they are nevertheless but instruments in the hands of the Gods.
To find all the beauties in a man or woman, or in their behavior: this is God-like.
Who know, may not all men be as automatons, some in the hands of Gods, and some in the hands of devils?
The standard of a wise man, to judge wisely, require of him to imagine he is a God, high up in heaven, and that all men are his children.
wherein they are mouth-pieces for the Gods, or for the circumstances surrounding them?
OF THE UNSEEN WORLDS; the upper and lower heavens; the habitations of the Gods.
OF TE [Shang Te, or True God] who hath charge of this world and her heavens.
OF FALSE GODS, and their kingdoms in the lower heavens; and their power to catch the souls of men after death.
OF THE ADMINISTRATION OF GODS, and drujas over mortals; how nations are built up, or destroyed by the Gods.
BOOK OF HISTORIES, of Gods and Saviors, of kings and emperors, of wise men, of lawgivers, of the rise and fall of nations.
God had said to his inspiring angels: Suffer not Ka'yu to know he receive light from heaven, for he should be as an example to men, to inspire them to perfect the talents created withal.
And God looked upon the empire of Chine'ya, and he said: Behold, my son should write other books, but less profound.
And God inspired Ka'yu to write:
Because of the presence of God and his angels, Ka'yu saw clearly and heard clearly; nevertheless, his inspiration was God by proxy, and not like the inspiration of Chine, to whom God came in person, dwelling with him.
When the Triune Gods perceived the great work accomplished by God, Jehovih's Son, in Vind'yu and Chine'ya, thus going to the root of the resurrection, they were sorely troubled for the ultimate prospect of their own heavenly kingdoms.
I have not only overthrown many of the false Gods and Lords, but driven the worshipers of Jehovih to death.
Now, after many suggestions and proposals, which were not accepted, Ennochissa said: As God, Jehovih's Son, hath taken an earthly course to insure his success, why should not we also?
The confederate Gods had said:
When God, Son of Jehovih, saw the work of the Triunes, he bewailed the ways of heaven.
So God bewailed no more, but prepared a new army of a thousand million angels, to go down to the earth, to provide for receiving the spirits of such as were sure to be slain in wars near at hand.
And these three Gods, the Triunes, saw, that only by might and desperate vigor, could they preserve their heavens from anarchy.
Five of the sub-Gods of Kabalactes, of Vind'yu, revolted within his own kingdom, and set up places of their own.
This is the emergency of the Gods.
Neither should there be but one God in my dominions, even myself.
For they should understand that I am not a God of peace, like the Jehovihian Gods, but a God of war.
Yima and his hosts did as commanded, but not suddenly; for an angel war ensued which lasted forty-six years, before the five rebellious Gods were beaten from their strongholds.
Thus the deposed Vind'yu Gods became Gods of Roma.
Jehovih had said: Behold the time will come unto both Gods and men who deny My All Person, when they will espouse even falsehood for sake of their own selfish ends.
Jehovih spake to God, saying: Behold, he command himself to be called Budha.
Jehovih said to God: Even this should you suffer them to do.
For herein will they lay the foundation of the final overthrow of this false God, Budha.
We see here how a God or angel becomes false in fact.
Therefore, where it is spelled Budha, it is the name of the impostor God, who assumed it.
Not less were the trials of Ennochissa; for his sub-Gods also revolted, and many of them assumed the names of the Saviors he had given to Chine'ya.
And it came to pass, that a heavenly war ensued on the earth, in Chine'ya, between the hosts of Ya'deth and the rebellious sub-Gods and their hosts, which lasted seventy years.
And Ya'deth gained the victory, clearing away all the rebel angels of the sub-Gods, and putting them to flight.
Four of these rebel Gods fled into Argos, to Athena [Athens], where they established themselves securely.8
You hast beholden the machinations of my brother Triune God, Kabalactes, who hath falsely assumed the name, Budha, and proclaimed himself the All Highest God, and his heaven the All Highest Heaven of Heavens.
Of the sub-Gods of Vind'yu and Chine'ya, Jehovih said: For this, alone, these things are good.
For, in time to come, man of the earth will look abroad over the earth and say: How came the Vind'yu Gods in Roma?
How came the Chine'ya Gods in Athena?
And they are ruled over by both good and bad Gods.
I will make it plain to them that to worship a spirit, though he be a God, is but the giving of their own souls into bondage.
Thus was established the two false Gods, Budha and Brahma.
And now, when the Gods sought to inspire the people to war, in order to establish themselves, Brahma and Budha, only the most barbarous regions could be influenced.
Brahma, the false God, now perceiving the potency of Ka'yu's books, sent his angel warriors to inspire the Sun King [Emperor], T'sin, to have all the books in Chine'ya destroyed, in order to reduce the empire to ignorance.
And Jehovih answered them, through God of Paradise, Jehovih's Son, saying: Build ye walls against the barbarians.
And the walls should be monuments to the Faithists of this land, who have perished by the false Gods, Brahma and Budha.
In this country both of these false Gods decreed the destruction of all books and tablets, save such as looked favorable to their own doctrines.
And in both, Chine'ya and Vind'yu, were there slain in war, in order to establish the names of these Gods amongst mortals, more than one hundred and forty millions of people, men, women and children.
By the angel warriors of these two Gods were mortals thus inspired in the work of destruction.
Not only against the Faithists were these Gods, but against each other also.
8 And these Chinese Gods became the Grecian Gods of a later date.
God said: Hear you, O earth, and you, O heaven, of Looeamong, the other of the Triunes, the founders of the doctrines of the Holy Ghost and Trinity.
But Baal, the self-God of Heleste, called his mighty legions in heaven, and sent them down to the earth, redoubled, to inspire mortals to bloody deeds.
I will have them know that Baal is the All Highest God of heaven and earth.
And the kingdoms of Egupt, and of Media, of Armenia [Oceas], and Phrygia [Boa], and Argos [Greece], and Scythia [Semia] and Noamedia, and of all the regions of Arabin'ya and the west, should know no peace till I have destroyed the worship of all Gods but the Triunes.
And in the latter kingdom, which he called Arkoli, he made an alliance with the Vind'yu Gods that escaped from their own heavenly regions and fled to the mortal city, Roma.
And near Athena, he founded a subkingdom of five hundred million angels, and made an alliance with the Gods that escaped from the Brahmin kingdoms.
In this emergency, Looeamong, the Triune God of the Holy Ghost, beheld, with fear and trembling, his formidable enemy, Baal.
By which confederacy are we three Gods powerful above all other Gods.
Now behold, Baal, the most fiendish of all Gods, wage war against our holy doctrines in all the regions of my heavenly kingdoms and on my dominions of the earth also.
Now, when Looeamong beheld, that the other two Triunes had taken new names falsely, and that they had gained power thereby, he resolved to adopt for himself the names, Lord and God.
So, Looeamong falsely assumed to be God, the Lord of heaven and earth.
But, of all these, not one book was inspired of Jehovih, or His Son, God of heaven and earth.
God, Jehovih's Son, was wise above all these trials, for he had the light of Jehovih's kingdoms with him.
Yea, without leaving them, these faithful angels guarded them from all the warring hosts of angels, belonging to the armies of Baal and Ashtaroth, and to the Triune God, Looeamong, and his hosts.
Then came Gafonaya, chief of the loo'is, according to the command of God, to raise up an heir to the Voice of Jehovih.
The time of the birth of the child, was three days after the descent of a heavenly ship from the throne of God.
When the birth was completed, the angels of heaven re-entered their star-ship and hastened back to Paradise, God's heavenly seat.
When Joshu was grown up, and ready for his labor, God provided a host of one hundred million angels to make a line of light from his Holy Council down to the earth; and they so made it.
And God provided a guardian host of two thousand million angels to protect the line of communications; for it was war times in heaven and earth.
And he came to Paradise, to God on the throne, where due preparation had been made for them.
For the heavenly kingdoms of God were stirred from center to circumference, when it was heralded abroad that Moses and Elias were coming.
Suffice it, Moses was received according to the custom of Gods.
And God said to Moses and Elias: Come you****, and honor my throne; and I will proclaim a file before the throne, to be followed by two days' recreation.
Then Moses and Elias went up, and sat on the throne of God, that they might look upon Moses' face.
That was all he said; but so great was the love and glory in his face as he stood on the throne of God that every soul that passed said: Moses, blessed Son of Jehovih!
And God granted two days' recreation, during which time the ethereans mingled with the atmosphereans in great delight.
Thereupon, Moses and his hosts, together with Illaes and his hosts, went into the otevan, and immediately took course for Paradise, God's heavenly seat, where they arrived in due season.
God said: These were my doctrines, as I taught through Joshu:
Call not on the name of any God or Lord in worship; but worship Jehovih only.
First, the God, Baal, and after him, Thoth, inspired the kings and rulers, against these Faithists.
And they proved them by commanding them to eat flesh, even swine's flesh, the which, if they refused, was testimony sufficient before the laws, to convict them of being enemies against the Gods.
But, behold, I labor against Gods who have the advantage of me.
The Chine'ya rebel Gods and the Vind'yu rebel Gods, that fled from the Triune kingdoms in the east, have taken upon themselves names popular with mortals.
For these Gods have no fear of the Holy Ghost, and they choose any name that will be flattering to mortals.
And the magicians and priests, and such others as have power to hear the voices of spirits, are led to believe that they hear the very Gods whose names are given.
This, then, is my misfortune, you most Holy God of the Triune: I am commanded to give but one name, even the Holy Ghost, or the Father, to mortals.
Or, they irreverently mock us, saying: What care we for a God that is but a ghost, a shadow, a creative element?
Give us Gods that talk, and of themselves.
Bring your Gods, and let the oracles tell us what they say.
For the Gods of the Council, for the most part, said: What better are we than the Jehovians?
It is a truth, mortals have never been satisfied with AN ANGEL FROM THE GODS.
They want the God himself.
Hence their weakness, compared to such angels as unscrupulously assumed to be Gods.
Behold, it hath now come to pass mortals desire a more definite God, one known unto them.
We can not truthfully take the name of any God Thoth hath named, nor of any other God worshipped by mortals.
Hear me, O you most upright of Gods.
The Lord said: Behold, it came to pass as had been foretold by God, Jehovih's Son: The Triunes will all become false Gods, because they have denied the Almighty.
God said: There is but One, who is All Knowledge.
Whatsoever angel or God announce himself to be All Knowledge, is false in presence of Jehovih.
The Lord said: Now, therefore, Looeamong was from this time forth a false God in heaven and on earth.
God said: That man may know, this is true, behold, the followers of Jehovih are not warriors, nor have they ever been.
And Looeamong captured and cast out of his dominions more than seven hundred false Gods and false Lords.
And he broke up six hundred and eighty oracle-houses and temples, used for consulting the spirits, who called themselves Gods, whose only service was to advise on war, conquest and destruction.
For three hundred years more, Looeamong, with upward of six thousand million angel warriors, pursued war in heaven and on earth; and he had captured mostly all the earthly strong-holds of other false Gods.
Baal, however, still maintained himself in Roma, and as God of the Roman empire, but under many names.
God, Son of Jehovih, said: Now, behold, even Looeamong, the false God, bewailed the wars, and he also bewailed his own doctrines.
You God of nature?
The Lord said: Whilst Looeamong, the false God, was yet bewailing, behold, Thoth, his chief warrior God, came upon him, saying:
In Eocla, the Gods Jupiter and Ira inspired the king Hoethus to slaughter three thousand seven hundred Kriste'yan soldiers.
In Utica, the God Jupiter, with seven thousand angels caused three hundred of thy soldiers to be burned in a lime kiln.
And now, that Looeamong's angels had an anchorage on earth, they were in all respects the equals of angels of the pagan Gods.
And it came to pass in not many years, that Looeamong, through Gabriel, captured Baal and all the false Gods in all the regions far and near.
And Gabriel took, along with the captured Gods, seven million and six hundred thousand warring angels, and carried them altogether to Makavishtu, in hada, and cast them into hell, where there were already more than ten millions who were in chaos and madness.
And, in fact, it was the final termination of the earthly Gods that ruled over mortals through oracles and pagan practices.
The earth was now clear of evil Gods, whose chief labor had been for thousands of years to capture the spirits of the recent dead, and make slaves of them for the glory of the hadan kingdoms.
Thus had Looeamong done a good service; for the earth and lower heavens had now nothing to suffer from any Gods, save the Triunes.
Now, the council had brought with them, in all, two thousand two hundred and thirty-one books and legendary tales of Gods and Saviors and great men, together with a record of the doctrines taught by them.
As yet, no God had been selected by the council, and so they balloted, in order to determine that matter.
And the first ballot gave prominence to the following Gods: Jove, Jupiter, Salenus, Baal, Thor, Gade, Apollo, Juno, Aries, Taurus, Minerva, Rhets, Mithra, Theo, Fragapatti, Atys, Durga, Indra, Neptune, Vulcan, Kriste, Agni, Croesus, Pelides, Huit, Hermes, Thulis, Thammus, Eguptus, Iao, Aph, Saturn, Gitchens, Minos, Maximo, Hecla and Phernes.
Besides these, there were twenty-two other Gods and Goddesses, that received a small number of votes each.
In seven days thereafter, another ballot was taken, and the number of Gods was reduced to twenty-seven.
In seven days thereafter, another ballot was taken, and the number of Gods was reduced to twenty-one.
Six days in the week were allotted to discuss the merits and demerits of the Gods.
For one year and five months the balloting lasted, and at that time the ballot rested nearly equally on five Gods, namely: Jove, Kriste, Mars, Crite and Siva.
We have found five Gods, good and acceptable before the world.
For we all do know the angels' signs of these Gods.
Such a God should be ours, now and forever.
Whereupon Kriste was declared GOD AND LORD OF ALL NATIONS OF THE EARTH.
And the council agreed thereto, unanimously, and, moreover, to reject all the other Gods.
God, Son of Jehovih, said: Behold, the Council of Nice balloted for a twelve-month, as to what man heard the Voice?
Hatuas said: The Gods will not let us choose any man.
Now, therefore, hear me: All the law-givers chosen by the Gods, have been iesu.
God, Son of Jehovih, said: The Council of Nice sinned not, for the doctrines set forth, as Iesu's, were for Jehovih.
God said: My testimonies were previously with Abraham and Brahma and Moses, and I spake not of Kriste nor of the Holy Ghost, I spake of God and of the I AM.
God said: Sufficient unto a time is the work of Jehovih; because the Triunes over threw the oracles and hundreds of false Gods and hundreds of sacred books full of error and evil, behold they fulfilled their time.
In the olden times, man worshipped all the spirits of the dead, and I cut him short, giving him many Gods; and, again, I cut him short, and gave him three Gods, and then, three Gods in one.
The Lord said: After Looeamong had cast out all other false Gods in his earth dominions, he set to work enriching his heavenly home, employing no less than seven thousand million angel slaves for that purpose.
But he made the rules of entrance to his palace so rigid, that only his highest officers and visiting Gods could gain access to him.
Now, for upward of a thousand years, the angel warrior, Gabriel, alias Thoth, had been to Looeamong his most faithful sub-God.
By virtue of mine own worth before the Gods of heaven, I greet you* in peace and love.
Third, that I made you* what you are; and by mine own hand helped you* to cast out Baal and Ashtaroth, and all the Roman'yan and Argos'yan Gods.
And, fourth, since you are safely raised up above all Gods within these regions, thou hast affected to not know me.
Mark you****, the great power of a God is to establish a good foothold on the earth.
And they built a throne in heaven unto Gabriel, and called it, the THRONE OF KALLA-HORED; and he went and sat thereon, and then crowned himself, GABRIEL, GOD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH.
For such is the order of Jehovih's creation, that whosoever man worship whilst he is on earth, to that God will his spirit float after death; and without resistance become a dutiful slave, not knowing there be other Gods and other heavens.
There is but one God, and he is God.
But evil men have invented other Gods, which have no existence.
I strive to be honest and upright before God, but I am weaker than a child in these respects.
As I am an instrument in the hands of God, through his angel, Gabriel, so also were Abraham and Moses and many of the prophets.
Therefore, I am the least of God's prophets.
That you* may become exalted before God, I am sent into the world.
Or do you* believe God is dead, or gone afar off?
Is God weak?
Gabriel saith: There is a false God in heaven, and he hath falsely called himself, Kriste.
Brothers, I will tell you why I am chosen of God: It is to circumvent the Kriste'yan's idolatry from coming into Arabin'ya and the countries north and south and east.
These countries were given by God to our forefathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and thence down to Moses, and thence down to us.
There is but one God, and Gabriel is his angel of all the world.
And God raiseth up a prophet from time to time, to bless his chosen people.
He put this matter upon me; I know only to serve God.
Mohammed, being under inspiration of the God, Gabriel, and his angels, collected together thousands and tens of thousands of warriors, and went forth to conquer.
Looeamong now declared war in heaven against the false God-Gabriel; and, in not many years they both carried their war down to earth, contending for certain localities on the earth.
As for the other two false Gods, Kabalactes, alias Budha, and Ennochissa, alias Brahma, they had been in war against each other for over six hundred years.
Now had these four false Gods possession of the whole earth, at least, wherever there were mortal kingdoms and empires.
Now, when the Faithists were moved by the inspiration of God to have no more kings, and to flee away from the Kriste'yan warriors, they came amongst the people above mentioned.
God, Son of Jehovih, had said: Suffer the apostates to so marry, for here will I find a way to raise up disbelievers in the false Kriste; and they should ultimately become believers in Jehovih only.
The Caliph was urged to have the destruction stopped, but he said: "If the writings of the Greeks agree with the Books of God, they are useless and not worth preserving; if they disagree, they are pernicious, and ought to be destroyed." In this, we see how spirits rule over mortals.
For five hundred years more, the wars lasted between the four false Gods, Looeamong, Thoth, Ennochissa and Kabalactes.
(Unless carried away by God, Son of Jehovih, to Paradise.)
The private palaces of these Gods, and their private heavenly seats of splendor were exclusive to themselves and their favorite Lords and high officers.
And all angels else, who desired to see these Gods, were obliged to pass through rigid examinations, and solemnly bind themselves in oaths and castigations before they were permitted to pass the outer columns of fire.
On each of these steps he must lay one day, repeating prayers and praises to his God.
On the upper step, however, he was not required to pray, but might look in silence at the throne, on which, at times, his God came and sat, his Holy Council sitting to the west, facing to the east, to the throne.
From the place of the person on the upper step to the throne, was five hundred lengths, nearer than which none were permitted to come, save by the God's special decree.
And, if the God was not on his throne, and his Holy Council sitting, then the person must wait, not moving from his place, perhaps for a day, or more.
But, after he had observed his God, he was not permitted to remain longer than to say seven prayers.
Thousands of millions of which gems had been captured from the dispossessed false Gods of centuries before, and even from heavens from other star worlds.
Such was the magnificence of each of the four heavenly places of the four hadan Gods, and not differing but little from one another.
In order to obtain the privilege of thus going to look upon the throne and the God thereof, one had to first serve a hundred years in the labors of that heaven, and to have his record good during all the while.
If, in the mortal life, a man had served his God, by preaching and praying, or by fighting battles for him, and had thus attained a good record, one hundred years' servitude in heaven entitled him to visit his God on the throne, at the distance named above.
But if the mortal had been an enemy to the God during his earth-life, he could not attain to approach the throne in less than three hundred years' servitude.
Which servitude consisted in laboring in building mansions, or in paving roads in heaven, or in bringing produce up from the earth, or in bringing up other atmospherean elements for the gratification and glory of the God and his tens of millions of high officers.
God, Jehovih's Son, said: Behold the stubbornness of the angels of the heavens!
God said: Their minds were in bondage to so great an extent, that even after they had attained to view their God (at such a distance and in such artificial splendor), they could not receive truth.
And when he said to them: Behold, this God, with all his glory, is only one God, of which there are many, they would not believe.
And when he said to them: Behold, there are higher Gods than this, they would not believe.
And when he said to them: Behold, the All Highest God is not thus, but One not in shape of man, they would not believe.
Behold, I can see my God; he is the Creative element personified.
God said: Man sinned not in this; neither sinned the angels of the heavens.
The fault was with these false Gods.
And it came to pass, on earth, when a man died, his neighbors said: Behold, he hath gone to see the Lord, who sit on the right hand of God.
The Lord said: Hear, O you* of earth, and you* of the heavens thereof; hear you**** of the labor of God, Son of Jehovih.
I, the God of the heavens of the earth, sent my appeal unto the four false Gods, saying:
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* persuade mortals that the only good and necessary knowledge is contained in your sacred books; for you* desire to prevent mortals from knowing there are other heavens than your own, and other Gods than yourselves.
Nevertheless, you**** have caused to be preached, in your heavens, that I am a God like unto yourselves, working for mine own glory.
For this was my labor for which Jehovih, through His exalted Gods, made me God of the earth and her heavens.
Such as are wise within your dominions, tire of your pomp and splendor, and, in course of time, come to my heavens, and renounce all Lords and Gods, and betroth themselves to Jehovih only.
And I give them places in my schools, colleges, hospitals and factories, and thus educate them, that they may, indeed, in time, become fit companions to Gods and Goddesses.
And you didst promise Thoth, that when he overcame Dagon, Ashtaroth, Baal and other false Gods, you wouldst give to him a heavenly sub-kingdom, with a thousand million subjects.
Behold, you hadst pretended you wert the all highest God, and yet you wert unable to take a small earthly kingdom.
Because you hast a heavenly kingdom, and withal are master on earth, of Jerusalem and Te-theas and Egupt and Punjaub, you flatterest thyself you are a great God.
Now, lastly: O you* false Gods, you* deceivers and hypocrites, ye have divided the earth and the heavens thereof between yourselves, and re-confederated together for a balance of power.
God said: In the name of Jehovih, wherein should I find an excuse for your behavior?
Yea, you**** palmed off your compilations from other false Gods as being Jehovih's; and ye played upon the honest innocence of man's understanding, contrary to the will of the Almighty.
And your accusation against them was: They worship not Gods born of woman.
Could the Creator of thousands of millions of worlds, which have stood for thousands of millions of years, be so young as any one of these pretended Gods?
God said: In the name of the All Highest, greeting, my brothers.
They will say: Behold, Brahma is not a person, but a principle; Budha is not a person, but a principle; Kriste is not a person, but a principle; God-Gabriel is not a person, but a principle.
And, after that, you should be hated above all other false Gods, that have ever been.
God said: In the name of Jehovih, greeting unto you.
Hear the plea of God, Jehovih's Son.
In shame, I look upon the earth and the heavens thereof, and I say unto myself: O thou God, to whom these were given in charge, how incompetent you art against the flood of evil!
Now, I beseech you, O you* false Gods, make you* concessions unto Jehovih.
Save yourself from certain destruction, and Jehovih's Son from humiliation, before the high-raised Gods of other worlds.
In the names of the Son, the Father and the Holy Ghost, greeting unto You*, God, Jehovih's Son.
We broke them all up, and thus cleared the earth from innumerable self-Gods and self-Lords.
The Lord said: In the same hour, when God, in Paradise, received the epistle from the four false Gods, a light appeared in the firmament above, descending from the etherean heavens.
For two whole days it halted, as if to warn the false Gods, the pretended Saviors of angels and mortals, that Jehovih had spoken in the higher heavens.
Then came again the star-ship, till it anchored near the throne of God.
And God of Paradise raised the lights of his heavens, and opened his palace and throne to the approaching Goddess and her hosts.
God's Holy Council made way, and Hyaponitissa and her hosts entered the palace of God.
God said: Hail, Daughter of Jehovih!
And God saluted on the sign, THE CIRCLE AND TRIANGLE.
Hyaponitissa answered in the sign, CHAIN OF THE CIRCUIT, saying: All honor and praise to you*, O God, Jehovih's Son.
Then she went up, and sat on the throne of God; and her hosts filed in front in a crescent, maintaining the chain of etherean light to the ships, and thence to the worlds above.
The es'enaurs chanted an anthem to Jehovih, and, after that, the Goddess rose up on the throne of God, and said:
The toils and trials of your*** God, You has opened as a book is opened.
The prayer of Thy God reached up to the heavens Chia'hakad; the Gods of other worlds hearkened unto his voice.
And Thy Voice, Jehovih, came upon me, saying: Daughter of Vaigonataj, haste thou quickly to the red star; My God is calling!
Now, behold, I am honored before You* and before Thy God and his Holy Council.
Then, God rose up, and said:
Thereupon, God gave the sign, A GRATEFUL HEART, and he also sat down.
And the Voice came out of the star, saying: My Son, God of the red star and her heavens, all honor and glory be unto you*.
From this time forth, concern not thyself more about the four false Gods; sufficient unto them is the work they have undertaken.
And thither, it should come to pass, none of the false Gods should establish their doctrines by mortal laws, and bind My people.
And, as for the spirits of such mortals as the false Gods caused to be slain in the inquisitions, leave them to those Gods that took them.
And, though such spirits have vengeance in their hearts, and will be the means of ultimately casting the false Gods into hell, yet you should not go near them.
And you should send loo'is thither, and raise up, by birth, certain mortals, who should ignore the doctrine of enforced worship for any God or Lord or Savior.
The Voice ceased, and now God declared a day of recreation, that the ethereans and atmosphereans might mingle together, and rejoice before Jehovih.
And on the next day Hyaponitissa departed, leaving the requisite etherean laborers with God.
END OF GOD’S BOOK OF ESKRA.
