Book of Thor, Son of Jehovih Chapter 3, Chapter 4

Chapter 3

1. Thor said: To induce men and angels to find the way of resurrection, this is the greatest
of all teaching. Man saith: O God, raise up thy servant!

2. And the Lord saith: Hold up thy hands and I will lift thee up. But man will not. Man
saith: Send wise and holy angels to me, O Lord, to guide me in righteousness and good
works!

3. And the Lord saith: As thou asketh of God, even so do thou to thy fellows. But man
will not.

4. As it is with man on earth, even so do we find it in hada.

5. To induce angels to develop themselves, by taking hold with their own hands, and
by the exercise of their own talents, this is the work of Lords and Gods. To rule
over them without their knowing it, so as to lead them in the right way, this is wisdom.

6. The first passion of man is to eat; the second, the sexual desire; the third, to make
others serve him. And if he accomplish the latter, then is he indeed the prince of evil. For
he then holdeth dominion to the hurt of others.

7. So, also, as man buildeth these habitations in his soul on earth, how vain his effort
for happiness in heaven! To teach him to undo all his past, and to make full
restitution unto others, this is the work of Gods and Lords over spirits of darkness.

8. Thor established two thousand educational colonies in atmospherea, besides
innumerable places of manufacturing and building; teaching the angels of heaven how to
provide habitations for those born of earth into spirit life.

9. In three years of dawn Thor had prepared for etherean ascension four thousand million
Brides and Bridegrooms.

10. Now all this while the angels of atmospherea had been taught much in regard to the
emancipated kingdoms in etherea; of the splendor and majesty and power of Gods and
Goddesses there abiding.

11. Thor spake from the throne of God, before the Holy Council, saying: Send swift
messengers to Betatis, Goddess of Terow, in etherea, greeting, and say unto her:
Thus saith Thor, Jehovih’s Son, Orian Chief of Don’ga: Come thou to the heavens of the
earth; I have four thousand million Brides and Bridegrooms as Jehovih’s harvest. Provide
thou an airiata of great size and splendor, for its presence shall enchant my people.

12. The swift messengers departed. And proper officers at once set about making ready to
receive Betatis. Others were sent into other parts of atmospherea with fire-boats to bring
atmosphereans to Gau, that they might behold the glory of the higher heavens as
manifested in the descent and ascent of the airiata.

13. All these things were accomplished; Betatis came in great splendor; and all the
kingdoms and sub-kingdoms of Gau were filled with the thousands of millions come to
witness the ceremonies.

14. This, then, was the size of Betatis’ airiata: Diameter, east and west and north and
south, two thousand miles to the borders of the photosphere, and nine thousand miles
high. The ship, within the photosphere, was one hundred miles east and west and north
and south, and was two hundred miles high. Of beams, the entire length, there were
twelve millions four hundred thousand; and of uprights, two millions; but of the
short beams and uprights, they were numerous accordingly. And there were a sufficient
number of chambers within the airiata for every soul to have one; and besides these,
there were halls and temples within, also suitable for music and other entertainments.

15. The colors, shades and tints, with mirrors, and with opaque ornaments, both movable
and fixed, were provided in all possible ways, for ornament and for service, the like of
which, for beauty, had never been surpassed in Don’ga. And when the whole airiata was
completed, it looked like an oval globe of light, with a frame-work, transparent and
opaque within, alternated so as to add beauty to every part. And it was fitted and equipped
for the third resurrection, having no storage places for atmosphere, or any thing in
common with the lower heavens.

16. To add still further to its splendor, Betatis had her airiata ornamented with banners
and streamers illuminated, so that at a distance, when seen descending, the whole vessel
seemed like a sun surrounded on every side with movable stars and waving streams of
light.

17. Amongst her hosts were one million trumpeters and players on harps; and two million
singers.

18. In the midst of the forepart of the ship was the Holy Council chamber, with four
million members. Above the Council chamber was the chamber of worship; and at either
side were the halls for dancing and social reunion.

19. When Betatis’ ship neared the atmospherean kingdom of God, millions of her hosts
stationed themselves on the galley-beams and stay-lines, adding a scene of life to the
ethereal ship of surpassing beauty.

20. With ballast had Betatis provided her ship, so that when she came within the earth’s
vortex she could stand where she desired whilst the earth and her heavens turned their
axial course, that both mortals and angels might witness the brilliancy and glory of the
works of Don’ga’s chief Goddess.

21. And thus Betatis stood in her ship of fire, just beyond the plateau of Gau, whilst the
earth and her heavens made one revolution.

22. The next day she descended into Gau, where God and his Lords, under direction of
Thor, Jehovih’s Son, had prepared their mighty audience.

23. When the ship was made fast, the chief marshal of Gau and of Betatis’ hosts met and
conducted Betatis up in front of the throne of God.

24. Thor said: In Jehovih’s name, welcome, Daughter of Light!

25. Betatis said: Praise the Almighty! In love, am I come to answer thy prayer.

26. Then spake God, saying: Welcome, O Goddess! Come and honor my throne!

27. Then went Betatis forward in a flame of light, and was greeted after the manner
of Gods and Goddesses. After which she sat in the midst of the throne. And at once
the ceremonies of initiation for the Brides and Bridegrooms were accomplished.

28. Then came a day of recreation; and after that, Betatis and her hosts, together with the
four thousand million Brides and Bridegrooms, entered her airiata and departed upward
for the etherean heavens.

Chapter 4

1. In the fourth year of dawn under Thor, Son of Jehovih, he received from the Holy
Council in Buru, of Don’ga, in etherea, a dispensation from the Orian Chiefs, decreeing to
the earth one hundred years’ travail in vocent.

2. Thor called up Waak, God of Rhines, and said unto him: A sore travail hath Jehovih
put upon these heavens. Go thou to Hey’loo and command him to provide an avalanza
sufficient to deliver twenty thousand atmosphereans to the a’ji’an forests of Gonaya.

3. For the inhabitants of these heavens are too dark to endure the vocent of a
hundred years, and would be precipitated to the earth and engage in fetalism.

4. Waak, God of Rhines, knowing the condition of the atmosphereans, proceeded at once
to Hey’loo, informing him of the decrees of the higher heavens, and of the command of
Thor, Son of Jehovih.

5. Thor then sent word to his Lords and marshals, informing them also of his command,
and, further, commanding them to bring from all parts of earth and heaven all the lowest
grades of angels, to be concentrated in Gau, to which place the avalanza was to come for
them.

6. Thor appointed Ti’See’inij, Goddess of Ares, to superintend the reception of the angels,
and to arrange them for entrance into the avalanza; and he gave into her command, to
assist her, five hundred thousand marshals and captains, and one million es’enaurs. And
these she apportioned to their respective duties and places.

7. To accomplish all this, Thor allotted seventy-seven days (earth’s time). And so wisely
were carried out all the proceedings that, on the seventy-seventh day, the avalanza was on
hand, and all the angels ready to enter therein.

8. Accordingly, these things were accomplished; the twenty thousand million angels were
carried away on the avalanza, which was walled around on every side with pillars of fire,
so that not one spirit could escape, even were he chaotic or imbecile. And Waak and
Hay’loo had entire charge of the migration; and they proceeded upward and outward from
the earth, seven diameters of the earth’s vortex, which brought them into the forests of
Gonaya, where they landed them.

9. Ti’See’inij, Goddes of Ares, had charge of the twenty thousand millions, and she had
previously sent thither a sufficient force of angels, wise and strong, to provide for the
reception.

10. So that, when the avalanza landed, all things were in readiness; and the angels were
apportioned to different sections of the Gonaya forests, according to their development.
And proper officers and teachers were provided unto them.

11. By Ti’See’inij were these things done. And she established a throne of a’ji, and
provided a temple of Council, and all such things as are required in the government of a
new colony. And, to reign after the expiration of dawn, she provided a God in Gonaya.
She promoted to this one Hazedeka, a surveyor in Thalasia, the third heaven of Gau; and
she gave him the title, GOD OF GONAYA, FOR FOUR HUNDRED YEARS.

12. Now, in reference to founding an a’ji’an habitation in etherea, this account is rendered
unto mortals and angels of the lower heaven: Amidst the ethe’ic waves, the ethereans
gather up the atomic elements floating therein, and, giving them axic motion, propelling
them forth, aggregating the while, till, from a mite, it groweth as large as the whole earth,
but is habitable within and without by the spirits of the dead, the angels.

13. Jehovih said: In likeness of the solid earth, and stars, and moon, that float in the
unseen firmament, so made I atomic parts to all things, and made them to float in ethe. As
the earth is to the air and the ether above, so is an atom of corpor to the ethe’ic solution.

14. Jehovih said: Think not, O man, there is but one member in My Person, and
that different conditions and states of that one comprise My universe. The foolish man
hath said, the blood is the flesh and bones, and that the flesh and bones are but a state of
blood; but he seeth not that I make not flesh out of blood, but out of that that the blood
carrieth. And in like manner carry I the corpor of My Person in the ethe of My Being.

15. Now, as to Thor, Son of Jehovih, after the departure of the avalanza, he provided a
new God unto the earth and her heavens, and crowned him, and bestowed upon him the
triangle which had been handed down since the inhabitation of the earth by man.

16. As for the remaining time of dawn, Thor traveled around about the earth and her
heavens, making records thereof, to be carried with him in Buru in the time of his ascent.

17. In consequence of the depletion occasioned by the resurrection of the twenty thousand
millions to Gonaya, God and his Lords were greatly relieved of their burdens in Gau and
on the earth.
