CHAPTER IV.
1. Jehovih said: Aph, My Son, put a wall of pillars of fire around about the land ofWagga; plant them near, as a hedge is planted. For the false Gods and false Goddesses ofhada, when perceiving their habitation going down into the water, will endeavor to escapeto Jud and Vohu, and other countries.
2. But thou shalt not suffer one to escape; for they have migrated to this division ofthe earth because of its sumptuous productions, the better to feast their evil desires.
3. And thou shalt spread a net around the borders of Wagga, against the line of the oceanand to the high north mountains; and the net shall encompass the continent of Wagga, andit shall be to the height of a thousand miles, and in breadth, so that no spirit of darknesscan escape and find the way abroad.
4. And when thou hast spread the net, thou shalt send to the large kingdoms in hada, andto the false kingdoms, a sufficient number of ethereans of great power; and thou shaltsend down to the earth, to Wagga, a sufficient number of ethereans, that every mortal manand mortal woman, and every mortal child, shall have five to attend. And they that go tomortals shall take with them birth-blankets a sufficiency; for in the time of destruction,when the mortals go down in death, thy servants shall receive he liberated spirits on thebirth-blankets, and bear them to the atmospherean column of ascent. And hither shall thyhosts receive them and provide them with food and clothes, after the manner of es'yans.
5. But it shall come to pass that many mothers shall perish in the waters, with childrenin the womb, which live by fetal, as is proper in My sight, for so created I them.
6. Therefore, to all such fetals give special care, for they are without sin. And when themother is dead corporeally, and the fetal also, bring hence their spirits, but together; andprovide a volunteer angel of fetal power, and deliver the infant spirit to her to be nurtureduntil the proper time of weaning, and provide in the same place a home for the mother ofthe child, that she may inherit its love and mirth.
7. When the voice ceased, Aph, Son of Jehovih, looked about over the hosts as ifin search of a sign that the time had come; but again Jehovih spake, saying:
8. In the misfortunes of a fallen world, created I food for the warm love of My ethereanGoddesses. Behold them hereabout in millions; every one in hope of receiving a prize ofthat which was lost in darkness, to raise up sons and daughters, who shall rejoice ineverlasting paradise. Think not that I gave the talent of love only to a mother for herchild, and there the talent to end; for as the talent in its incipient age bindeth hersoul to her child, so doth the same talent in My Goddesses overspread a helpless world.
9. Are they not as midwives and mothers to thousands and millions of souls beingdelivered from corporeal bondage into everlasting light? And who can number them? Here standeth a hundred millions come from Laygas; a hundred millions from Inopta;two hundred millions from Karduk; a hundred millions from Buchk; two hundredmillions from Nin; two hundred and fifty millions from Luth'wig; a hundredmillions from Pied; two hundred millions from Raig; fifty millions from Naivis;two hundred millions from Dak'dak, and two hundred and fifty millions from Od.
10. I spake in the etherean firmament, and they have answered Me. Yea, they come not ascuriosity seekers, and with empty arms; but, behold them, arrayed with their thousandsand millions of small equipments suited to the newborn! What thing is there under thesun they have not remembered to bring with them in some part, for regimen or drapery, torejoice the souls of them that are to be cut off from corpor?
CHAPTER V.
1. Jehovih said: Now will I bewail thee, O earth. The glories of thy heavens that are pastand gone shall be a lesson to the Gods. Thy place of Hored, once the place of the wisdomof My Son, Sethantes, upraised, behold it is measured and gone down. And Moeb is nomore: Yeshuah is fallen. Where floated the plateaux of many resurrections, are nowmiring vampires and millions of souls that hear not and see not, but are forever burrowingdeep in everlasting darkness.
2. The plateaux are broken up; the substance scattered and unorganized; nor is there avestige left to show the glorious work of the Gods of the earth's past day.
3. Hear me, O ye Gods and Goddesses, for in beholding these deep miseries, the soul isquickened to retain great wisdom: Thus created I man; out of darkness created I him; andMy holy angels taught him to walk upright and gave him My commandments that hemight advance to eternal light. But because man obeyed not the commandments of MyGod and Lords, he fell. Nevertheless, a few obeyed the commandments and fell not,raising up heirs for the glory of My heavens above.
4. Of such have I made an example on all the corporeal worlds I created; for those thatfell not, became examplers before the fallen; for having faith in Me and My works theyquestioned not My wisdom and justice.
5. But of those that fell, this is the history: They first questioned My Person; next MyWisdom; next My Justice; next My Power. And after that proclaimed the folly of Godand his Lords; whereupon they usurped to themselves to say: There is nothing higher thanman. And they said of themselves: I am the highest.
6. Hear My voice, O ye Gods and Goddesses; for as out of a contrary wind I give a mortalsea-captain a wholesome lesson; or as out of a severe winter I give a corporeal farmer alesson in providing for his household; even so, on the brink of a wicked world, give I ye alesson on the management of My kingdoms. For from this time forth the earth shall notfail; nor her heavens above her. Wherein, then, shall not My Gods rule over her inwisdom and power?
7. Since many angels assumed they were the All Highest, they put aside thecommandments, one of which was: To suffer not the spirits of the newly dead to returnand dwell with their mortal kindred; for they, not knowing of the higher heavens, willteach falsely of Jehovih and His everlasting kingdoms.
8. And it came to pass that when one commandment was set aside the others were also;and it followed that the spirits of the newly dead, who were without knowledge ofheaven, led mortals in their own way.
9. For they dwelt together and slept together, and in dreams and visions mortals judgedthemselves to be wise, not knowing they were obsessed in sleep; and for the desires of theflesh they found acquiescence in spirit, having no higher God or Lord.
10. And as one spirit returned and fastened itself on a mortal, so did another and another,till hundreds and thousands of spirits dwelt in one corporeal body, oft driving hence thenatural spirit I gave in the time of conception; and these mortals knew it not; and theybecame void of direct purpose because of the confusion of soul, and they were worthlesson the earth.
11. Jehovih further said: Henceforth for a long season shall it be on the earth that thespirits of the es'yans shall not be suffered to return and dwell with mortals. But the earthshall be encompassed on all sides with walls of emun, and with ashars to bear away thespirits of the dead in the hour of death.
12. But there shall come a time when mortals are capable of comprehending thesematters, in which time their kindred spirits shall return at intervals from their holy laborsin heaven, and see them and talk with them face to face.
CHAPTER VI.
1. And now Aph, Son of Jehovih, said: When the etherean hosts were arranged in dueorder, I called out to Thee, O Jehovih, saying: In Thy Strength and Wisdom, O Father,join Thou the heavens above and the earth below!
2. And the end of the etherean column that extended to Chinvat, on the border of thevortex of the earth, was made fast by the pressure of Thy wide heavens.
3. Again I said: In Thy Strength and Wisdom, O Jehovih, join Thou the heavens abovewith the earth below!
4. And the end of the etherean column that extended down to the earth was madefast around the borders of Wagga, by the sea and the high mountains on the north.
5. Again I said: O Jehovih, deliver Thou the earth from evil, for Thy glory, forever!
6. And the vortex of the earth closed in from the extreme, and lo, the earth was broken! Amighty continent was cut loose from its fastenings, and the fires of the earth came forth inflames and clouds with loud roaring. And the land rocked to and fro like a ship at sea.
7. Again I said: O Jehovih, deliver Thou Thy heavens, which are bound as with a chain,to a rotten carcass.
8. And again the vortex of the earth closed in about on all sides, and by the pressure, theland sank down beneath the water, to rise no more. And the corporeans went down todeath; and the fetals and familiars gave up the battle; neither had they whereon to stand,nor knew how to go to any place in all the heavens, but were lost and crying out for help.
9. And my hosts hastened in all directions with their birth-blankets, and received the drujand fetals and es'yans in millions and millions, and gathered them to the place of thefountain of light, whither I had provided atmosphere for them, and they were placedwithin. And their numbers were so great that even Gods had scarce seen the like before;and in order to attest before Thee, O Jehovih, I had them numbered, using the sections ofthe divisions of my Gods and Goddesses in order to do so.
10. And there were of druj and fetals sixteen billion six hundred millions, many of whomhad lived on earth as fetals and druj for thousands of years, though many others of themwere not capable of everlasting life. And of the first resurrection there were thirty-sixthousand millions; and of the second resurrection there were three hundred and fivemillions. But during the last hundred years the earth brought forth none capable ofeverlasting life, save, indeed, the remnants of I'hins.
11. Now when the earth was delivered, and there was no escape for the spirits of the dead,nor no returning to mortals, I called out to Thee, O Jehovih, saying: Give me of Thypower, O Jehovih, and I will carry up all the plateaux of hell and the heavens of theburied continent! And Thy hand came as the blade of a sword, flaming like fire,and swept over the ocean of the sunken land, cleaving all asunder. And, lo and behold,the anchorage of my feet was cut loose, and the spheres of heaven at my command.
12. Thy voice, O Jehovih, came to me, saying: Descend thou, My Son, down to the floorof the resurrection, and take My Daughter, Fiatisi, with thee, and go into the midst of theplace of ascension, for I will add unto thy glory the resurrection of all that thine eyes havebeholden.
13. So I descended, and took Fiatisi, Daughter of Jehovih, with me; and when we werecome into the place commanded, Thy power came upon the place, and it startedupward; and soon thereafter it turned on its vertical axis and rose higher andhigher, turning and rising; and we saw we were loose from the earth, and no longerrotated with the earth, but rose slowly upward, watching the earth rotating beneath us.
14. I said: Upward, O Jehovih! Upward, O Jehovih! Upward, O Jehovih! And all thehosts repeated the same words, for our wills and knowledge were as a unit, wherein wehad strength in Thee, Our Creator!
