Chapter 1, Chapter 2<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Chapter 1<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">1. In Horub, an etherean world on the borders of the arc of Aza, in the procession of<br \/>\nSayutivi, Cnod and Gorce, a region of light, of ten thousand earth years, and one<br \/>\nhundred vesperes, where reigned Fragapatti, Orian Chief of Obsod and Goomatchala<br \/>\none thousand years; God of Varit, God of Lunitzi and Witchka, and Schleinaka, and<br \/>\nDows, thirty thousand years; Surveyor of Gies, roadway and trail of Fetisi, and Mark,<br \/>\nseventy thousand years; Prim of Vaga, Tsein, Loo-Gaab and Zaan, forty thousand years.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. Fragapatti said: To me Jehovih spake in the Council of Obsod, capital of Horub, where<br \/>\nsat my million Gods, our throne itself an arc of light, and there came from the Almighty&#8217;s<br \/>\nthrone a greater light, all brilliant, and, with it, the Matchless Voice. Jehovih said:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. My Son! My Son! Go to the red star, the earth. She cometh thy way; her coat is red<br \/>\nwith mortal blood!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. Fragapatti said: The Father saith: The red star cometh this way; her coat is red with<br \/>\nmortal blood!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. To their tables the Gods and Goddesses turned, to mark the time; and now, quickly, the<br \/>\nwhisper ran to the million ears: The red star! The earth! Ye recollect, it was the little star<br \/>\nwhere Sethantes stood man upright, now agone some sixty thousand years. And Aph<br \/>\ncrushed in her walls, and pruned her to the quick.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. And then they overhauled the earth&#8217;s history, these Gods and Goddesses; measured her<br \/>\ncourse to learn just when she would pass; and they found five years and fifty days would<br \/>\nbe her dawn of dan, her time to cross the arc of Aza. And as yet she roamed two hundred<br \/>\nyears away.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. Fragapatti said: That this sudden light hath given such long warning, so, great work<br \/>\ncometh anon. Let my swift messengers come; I will speak to them.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. Then the marshals ushered in the swift messengers, saluting, before Jehovih&#8217;s throne.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. Fragapatti said: Autevat, my son, the All Light fell upon me, saying: My Son, go to the<br \/>\nred star, the earth; her coat is red with mortal blood! Now, by her time, she standeth more<br \/>\nthan two hundred years beyond the boundaries of Horub. For this, I called thee and thy<br \/>\nattendants. How long will it take thee to go thither and survey the earth and her heavens,<br \/>\nand return hither?<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. Autevat, well trained in such matters, said: Of the earth&#8217;s time, forty days. Fragapatti<br \/>\nsaid: What number of attendants wilt thou require for so great a distance? And Autevat<br \/>\nsaid: Twenty thousand.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. Fragapatti said: Provide thee, then, all thou requirest, and go at once. And if thou shalt<br \/>\nfind the inhabitants of the earth suitable for sacred records, commission thou the God or<br \/>\nLords to send loo&#8217;is to raise up an heir for Jehovih&#8217;s kingdom.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. Autevat said: Thy will and Jehovih&#8217;s be done. And, duly saluting, he and his<br \/>\nattendants withdrew, and, coming to Gat-wawa, ordered an arrow-ship of twenty<br \/>\nthousand gauge. In two days it was completed; and, during the time, Autevat had chosen<br \/>\nhis attendants. And so he departed, swiftly, like a ray of light, Autevat and his attendants,<br \/>\nfor the red star, the earth. To see what was the matter, that a God so far away as<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">Fragapatti was, could feel and know the flow of human blood!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. For such is the all perfection of Jehovih&#8217;s Sons and Daughters. Even mortals can sense<br \/>\nthings a little way off; but Jehovih&#8217;s upraised Gods feel the breath of the stars, and know<br \/>\nwhen they are disordered.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Chapter 2<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">1. Fragapatti and the Council were deeply engaged in the Sortiv of an Orian arc, through<br \/>\nwhich the phalanx of Inihab and her constellation pass every thousand years; an etherean<br \/>\nregion where the star, Unhowitchata, was dissolved, some twenty days agone, and cut<br \/>\nloose thirty thousand million bound spirits, wrapped in corporeality, by the chief, Avaia,<br \/>\nand his band of etherean Gods, who had drawn largely on the inhabitants of Ful, a garden<br \/>\nof Horub, in Fragapatti&#8217;s dominions.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. And Avaia had quartered the dismembered hosts near Sortiv, where the light of the arc<br \/>\nfell sharply on them; to deplete which concourse, taxed the Gods for more help than was<br \/>\nat hand. To remedy which, Fragapatti&#8217;s hosts were extending the ji&#8217;ay&#8217;an fields of Uth and<br \/>\nlowering the grade suitable to the spirits of darkness rescued from Unhowitchata,<br \/>\na prolific world, bringing forth imperfect human souls too abundantly for the quality.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. And Inihab was near at hand, to pass the arc of Sortiv, with her hundred stars, many of<br \/>\nthem larger than the earth, to seventy of which the inhabitants of Horub would need go as<br \/>\nredeeming Gods and Goddesses for the dawn of dan upon them. To apportion all of<br \/>\nwhich, Fragapatti and his million Council had work on hand, so that not seriously the<br \/>\ncondition of the earth and her heavens weighed upon them.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. But in forty days&#8217; time, or in such period as would be forty days on the earth, Autevat<br \/>\nand his attendants, twenty thousand, with the arrow-ship of fire, returned from the earth<br \/>\nand her heavens, speeding close to Obsod, where the marshals received them, and<br \/>\nannounced them to the Council. Fragapatti said: Let Autevat and his attendants approach<br \/>\nthe throne.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. And Autevat went in, saluting, and stood before the Chief, Fragapatti. Autevat said: In<br \/>\nJehovih&#8217;s name, and by His power and wisdom, am I here to proclaim of the red star and<br \/>\nher heaven: First, then:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. It is three thousand one hundred years since great Osire sowed the seed of mental<br \/>\nculture amongst mortals, and it hath grown to be a giant, and a most merciless tyrant. To<br \/>\nlearn whereof I speak, even God and his Lords, to honor thee, O Fragapatti, gave me<br \/>\nvoice and word, and opened the libraries of their heavens, and accompanied me around<br \/>\nabout the earth, to all nations, tribes and wanderers. To me, the God of earth said:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. Greeting to Fragapatti, in the name of the Father! And to thee, His Son! Take thou this<br \/>\nrecord to Him, and His Council, in Horub. For I am powerless through my Lords and<br \/>\nhosts against such odds.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. God said: From the time great Osire ascended to his etherean realm, our heaven yielded<br \/>\nample harvests for one thousand five hundred years. And God and Lords succeeded in<br \/>\nregular order for every dan put upon the earth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. But then came a change, for the a&#8217;ji&#8217;an fields pressed close on every side of heaven, and<br \/>\nthe souls of angels and mortals turned down to the gross earth. After which time, only<br \/>\nsuch as were already within the second resurrection came and strove for the upper worlds.<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. These depleted the constant rise, and left our colleges, schools and factories vacant;<br \/>\nfor the hosts of es&#8217;yans, newborn from the earth, were stubborn in their much earthly<br \/>\nlearning, spurning wise counsel and association.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. And there were born from the earth into atmospherea, millions and millions of spirits,<br \/>\nwho could not believe they were dead, but maintained they were confined in dark<br \/>\ndungeons, howling and cursing day and night.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. For the seed of corporeal knowledge had taken root in the I&#8217;huan race. They<br \/>\nhad learned the motions, names and places of the stars, the moon and sun; and<br \/>\nfrom these, prophesied the affairs of nations and men. And duly marked out, with maps<br \/>\nand charts, the destiny of things, according to the dates of corporeal births and<br \/>\nmovements, attributing the highest central cause to the sun and stars in conjunction.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. And thus they cast aside all spirit, even Jehovih, reasoning, that if the sun made<br \/>\nwinter and summer, and grass to grow and die, so it ruled over animals and men. And so,<br \/>\nthe temples built to observe the stars, before which men once fell down and worshipped<br \/>\nJehovih, became the places of decrees to horrid deaths of all who taught of or believed in<br \/>\nspirit.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">14. And now rose a mighty nation on earth, of the I&#8217;huans, and called, Parsi&#8217;e, and they<br \/>\nignored the decrees of Gods and Lords to build no city larger than two thousand souls;<br \/>\nforsooth, declaring the Lords and Gods to be but inspirations from the quickening<br \/>\npower of the sun and stars, made dark and personal by the credibility of past ages.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">15. And so, in representation of the solar phalanx, they built Oas, a sun city, which<br \/>\nstandeth to this day of a million souls, sworn to make it the central governor over all the<br \/>\nearth, and all other places tributary and paying for its glory. And over Oas they made a<br \/>\nking, and called him, K<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ING OF THE <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">S<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">UN<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle2\">, <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">to be to him and his heirs, successors forever.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">16. And Oas was embellished and adorned above all other places that had been on the<br \/>\nearth; the fame of which spread abroad over Jaffeth and Shem and Ham, betwixt which it<br \/>\nlieth centrally. Its colleges became famous, and its observatories were of such<br \/>\nmagnificence that their roofs were covered with silver and gold. The mirrors and lenses<br \/>\nand dark chambers within the towers were so constructed that the stars could be read as<br \/>\nwell in the day as at night; and the records of observation covered more than a thousand<br \/>\nyears, by men of great learning.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">17. But now, alas, Oas aspires not only to be the central sun in knowledge, but in power<br \/>\nand dominion, over the whole earth. And so, from her ample treasures, she sendeth forth<br \/>\narmies to conquer and destroy, to gather and plunder, to build still greater her<br \/>\nmagnificence.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">18. So Jaffeth and Shem and Ham run red with human blood, whereat, I raised my<br \/>\nvoice to high heaven, that Jehovih would send deliverance for the souls of men.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">19. For of the millions slain, whose spirits still lie on the battle-fields in chaos, or madly<br \/>\nfighting some unseen horror of hallucination, none can be persuaded to come to holier<br \/>\nplaces in heaven; whilst hosts of them rush madly into Oas, to find even their souls<br \/>\naccursed by mortals.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">20. God said: So the heaven of the earth hath fallen to the earth, save the I&#8217;hins and the<br \/>\nfar-off I&#8217;huans, whose spirits my Lords gather in and prepare for the after resurrection.<br \/>\nBut amongst the Parsi&#8217;e nation, none more believe the dead shall rise, nor that spirit is;<br \/>\nbut that with the mortal death there is the end, to which the king hath made a decree that<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">never more shall man teach or preach of a heaven for spirits of the dead, nor proclaim a<br \/>\nGreat Spirit, a Creator.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">21. Autevat said: In such manner God disclosed the affairs of earth and heaven, now<br \/>\ndead-locked in everlasting destruction; which things, in fuller details, I with my<br \/>\nattendants, beheld in every land and kingdom. And as we sat in Vibhraj, in the sacred<br \/>\ncircle, a light, a single star, appeared before us, even at the throne of God; and from its<br \/>\ncenter the book of heaven fell, as if to send broadcast before mortals the plan and will of<br \/>\nJehovih, near at hand.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">22. At this, God said: Tell me, Autevat, thou that travelest across the mighty heavens, and<br \/>\nart stored with the knowledge of Gods ruling over other worlds, what is the signal of this<br \/>\nlight and sacred book? To which I replied: This, O God: The time hath come to earth to<br \/>\nprove to mortals the things whereof the Gods and Lords have taught. History shall no<br \/>\nlonger be locked up privately with the chosen race, the I&#8217;hins; but it shall stand before<br \/>\nboth saints and sinners.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">23. Thou shalt prove the resurrection before these stubborn kings, the slaughterers of<br \/>\nmen, that they may say, not as the I&#8217;hins, we believe the soul immortal, because<br \/>\nhanded down from the ancients, but because it hath been demonstrated before our eyes.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">24. God said: How shall this be? To which I replied: Not I, great God, can tell, for that<br \/>\ndepartment is not in my keeping. But this much I know: Thou shalt send loo&#8217;is into the<br \/>\ncity of Oas, and they shall raise up a su&#8217;is\u2019 sar&#8217;gis of the fourth grade. All else leave thou<br \/>\ntill Fragapatti cometh.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">25. God said: To reach the fourth grade, will require five generations, which shall spring<br \/>\nfrom the I&#8217;hin race commingling with the I&#8217;huans. Go, then, O Autevat, to thy etherean<br \/>\nhome, before the Council of Obsod, to Jehovih&#8217;s throne, and say to great Fragapatti:<br \/>\nAn heir to the light of resurrection shall be born ere the dawn of dan of Horub.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">26. Autevat said: On learning these truths, I took my leave, and rose and came swiftly<br \/>\nback to thy realm.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">27. Fragapatti said: It is well. In the time of the next dawn of dan on the earth, I<br \/>\nwill take a resting spell in which to fulfill Jehovih&#8217;s plan on earth and in her heavens.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">28. So, saluting Autevat, who retired, Fragapatti proceeded with his Council in the<br \/>\naffairs of other worlds, making a memorandum of the time and place the earth should<br \/>\nnear the plains of Horub, in the etherean worlds, some two hundred years yet to come.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1st Quarter Moon Book of Fragapatti, Son of Jehovih.
