It being now the end of the fourth day, Fragapatti commanded the hosts to embark in<br \/>\nthe avalanza; and the marshals conducted them in, taking, first, the sons and daughters of<br \/>\nIpseogee, being sixty millions; next the Zeredho&#8217;ans, ten millions; and then Fragapatti&#8217;s<br \/>\nattendants, being most ethereans, five millions.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. When those were abroad, Fragapatti and Hoab and Yaton&#8217;te and Hapacha rose up, and<br \/>\nafter making the sign of the Setting Sun, went down and sat at the foot of the throne.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. God, that was Penoto, went down and took Fragapatti&#8217;s hand, saying: Arise, O Chief!<br \/>\nThe Father calleth. Fragapatti rose up and stood aside. Next, God raised Yaton&#8217;te, and he<br \/>\nstood aside; and then he raised Hoab, and he stood aside. And now came the greatest trial<br \/>\nof all&#8211;. He took Hapacha&#8217;s hand, saying: Arise, O God, Great Jehovih calleth thee! Go<br \/>\nthy way and His.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. But they both burst into tears, and fell into each other&#8217;s arms. Hapacha said: O<br \/>\nFather! Penoto said: His will be done! And now the light gathered brilliantly over<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">the scene; Fragapatti moved forward, then Yaton&#8217;te, then Hoab, and next Hapacha!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. Penoto resumed the throne. The es&#8217;enaurs chanted, and the fire-light of the higher<br \/>\nheavens descended over all the place. Like a sweet dream, the scene closed. Fragapatti<br \/>\nand his hosts were gone.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. Like a bee that is laden with honey, flying from a field of flowers to its home, so<br \/>\nreturned Fragapatti with his avalanza laden, to Haraiti, swiftly through the vault of<br \/>\nheaven, a shooting star in Jehovih&#8217;s hand.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. Athrava, God of Haraiti, and assistant to Fragapatti, knew that the avalanza was<br \/>\ncoming; and that Hapacha and his hosts were aboard; and he determined to provide a<br \/>\nglorious reception.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. So, for the space of a thousand miles, he caused pillars of fire to be erected, in<br \/>\ntwo rows, so that the avalanza should pass between them; and near the pillars he<br \/>\nstationed trumpeters and harpers, one million, divided into one hundred groups. And<br \/>\nthey were so arranged, that when the avalanza passed them, they could come aboard.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. Now during the absence of Fragapatti, many of the spirits who had been rescued from<br \/>\ntorture and madness in the hells of Aoasu had been restored to consciousness, more than<br \/>\none hundred and fifty millions of them.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. Of these, Athrava said: Clothe ye them in most gaudy apparel, and let them be the<br \/>\nbearers of perfumes and flowers, and torches, as presents for the I&#8217;hin hosts of Hapacha.<br \/>\nAnd the lights shall be lowered at the place of landing, to make it acceptable to those<br \/>\nnewly raised, who are aboard.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. Athrava said: As for Mouru, within the walls of light it shall be rated seven; but<br \/>\nwhen Fragapatti hath ascended the throne, it shall be raised to nine. And in those<br \/>\ndays, nine, in Haraiti, was fifty per cent of the capacity of endurance in the plateau.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. Jehovih hath said: If they raise the light, it will be more acceptable to My etherean<br \/>\nhosts, for they have dwelt a long time near the earth, and are thirsting for etherean<br \/>\nlight. But yet consider ye, here are thousands of millions of atmosphereans who cannot<br \/>\nendure the etherean light, but delight in a lower per cent. See to it, then, that the walls<br \/>\nof light protect My hosts in the dark on one side, but raise ye the grade to nine within.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. Athrava said: There shall be flights of stairs leading over the walls of Mouru, and they<br \/>\nshall be white and illumed on that day, which will be sufficient for dividing the people<br \/>\naccording to the light suited to them. The I&#8217;hins with Hapacha will go over the walls, for<br \/>\nthey entered their corporeal cities in the same way; besides, they are capable of enduring<br \/>\nthe light; but the I&#8217;huans with Hapacha will desire to remain without. For them prepare ye<br \/>\na place of delight and rest.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">14. But in regard to the ethereans Athrava gave no orders, for they were capable of<br \/>\nperceiving all necessary things, and without instruction.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Chapter 26<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">1. When Fragapatti entered the Road of Fire with his avalanza, where Athrava had<br \/>\nstationed the musicians and groups of furlers, the hosts aboard broke loose from all<br \/>\nbounds of propriety, so great was their delight, and they shouted and sang with the<br \/>\ntrumpeters with most exalted enthusiasm. Many of them entered the Orian state, and not a<br \/>\nfew, even the Nirvanian. And they became even as Gods and Goddesses by their own<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">entrancement, seeing, hearing and realizing, even to the third rate above the Brides and<br \/>\nBridegrooms of Jehovih!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. These were but spasmodic conditions of light, from which they returned in<br \/>\ncourse of time, being able to give descriptions of their visions. For Jehovih so created<br \/>\nman, with spells of clearness far in advance of his growth, the which, he having<br \/>\nrealized, he returneth to his normal condition, to prepare himself constitutionally.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. Along the road, on either side, were mottoes and sayings peculiar to the hosts of<br \/>\nHapacha, and to mortals of Guatama. When Hapacha saw these, he said: How is it<br \/>\npossible? Whence derived these Gods this information? But the light came to his own<br \/>\nsoul, saying: The wise and good sayings of men below, are born by Jehovih&#8217;s swift<br \/>\nmessengers to realms above. Hoab stood near by, and heard what Hapacha said, and<br \/>\nHoab said: How can men and spirits be inspired to wise and good sayings? Who<br \/>\nhad thought to erect such signboards on the road to All Light! And yet what darker<br \/>\ndeeds are done, when the soul of man findeth curses and evil words to vent his awful<br \/>\nsins, and walls himself around with horrid imprecations! The which to face in after<br \/>\ntime and be appalled at the havoc of his own deadly weapons. How few, indeed,<br \/>\ncomprehend the direful thrust of hateful words, imagining them but wind, to pass<br \/>\naway and be seen no more, but which are placarded on the signboard of heaven,<br \/>\nas his fruit sent to market! The poison dealt out of his mouth to his brother man!<br \/>\nA man throweth a spear, deadly, but it falleth on the earth and lieth there; but words<br \/>\nand sayings are more potent, scoring deep in the soul of things. Fair, indeed, is it<br \/>\nwith thee, O Hapacha, and with thy hosts also, with yonder pure scroll to enter Haraiti!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. As fast as the ship passed the lights, the etherean musicians came aboard, being<br \/>\nanxious to meet Hapacha and his hosts, especially the I&#8217;hins, and to congratulate them on<br \/>\nbeing the first harvest from the lowest heaven at the end of a cycle. And strange to say,<br \/>\nthere were just twice as many as Sethantes had prepared in the first dawn on earth.<br \/>\nFragapatti called the swift messengers belonging to the Roads of Gon, in etherea, and he<br \/>\nsaid unto them: Go ye to Sethantes, whose fields lie in the Roads of Gon, and say unto<br \/>\nhim: Greeting, in the name of Jehovih! The earth hath reached Obsod and Goomatchala,<br \/>\nhome of Fragapatti, who sendeth love and joy on behalf of sixty millions, first harvest of<br \/>\nh&#8217;ak, grade sixty-five.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. Of these messengers, four hundred departed, leaving a reserve of eight hundred, who<br \/>\ncontinued on the avalanza.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. The drujas, who were arrayed in gaudy attire, withdrew a little from the landing,<br \/>\nfearing the light. When the ship drew near the walls, and was made fast, the marshals of<br \/>\nMouru came to the front, two millions, as an escort to conduct all who chose over the<br \/>\nascending stairs.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. And so great was the faith of Hapacha&#8217;s hosts, that over fifty millions of them passed<br \/>\nwithin the sea of fire, singing: G<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">LORY BE TO <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">T<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">HEE<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">, O J<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">EHOVIH<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">! C<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">REATOR OF WORLDS<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. Seeing this great faith in them, Athrava commanded red and blue lights, to favor them;<br \/>\nand there was not one of the whole number that quailed, or turned from the light. And<br \/>\nnow was beholden, to many of them, their first view of the glories and powers of Gods<br \/>\nand Goddesses. Mouru was illuminated in every part. The structure of the temple, its<br \/>\nextent and magnificence in conception, with its hundreds of thousands of mirrors and<br \/>\nlenses, its transparent and opaque crystals, translucent and opaque circles and arches,<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">hundreds of millions, the which, when viewed from any one place, was unlike when<br \/>\nviewed from another place, as if each position were striving to outdo the others in beauty<br \/>\nand perfection. So that, were a person to walk for a thousand years in the temple,<br \/>\nhe would every moment see, as it were, a new palace of surpassing grandeur.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. And so wonderfully was it arranged that the faces of one thousand millions of people<br \/>\ncould be seen from any place a person might be; and yet all these people constituted a part<br \/>\nand principle in the building, being as jewel stones, created by Jehovih for the<br \/>\nornamentation of His celestial abodes.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. Hoab, always quick to speak, said: O that angels and mortals would strive to make of<br \/>\nthemselves such jewels as these! Hapacha spake not, being overwhelmed with the beauty<br \/>\nand magnificence. Yaton&#8217;te said: When thou art on the throne, Fragapatti, I will leave for<br \/>\nthe kingdom of Yaton&#8217;te: Here, then, I will take my leave. Fragapatti shook hands with<br \/>\nhim, saying: Jehovih be with thee!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. So Yaton&#8217;te remained where he was, but Hoab and Hapacha continued on with<br \/>\nFragapatti. All eyes were turned to them, and especially to Hapacha, whose persistence in<br \/>\nfaith in Jehovih had won the lower heavens to Wisdom and Love. And as they moved<br \/>\ntoward the throne, great Athrava rose up, smiling, holding out his hands to receive them.<br \/>\nNext, and back of Athrava, were the five Goddesses, Ethro, of Uche and Rok; Guissaya,<br \/>\nof Hemitza, of the Valley of M&#8217;boid, in etherea; Si&#8217;tissaya, of Woh&#8217;tabak, the one-time<br \/>\nhome of Fuevitiv; Ctevi, of Nu, Porte-Auga; and Rinava, of the Swamps of Tholiji, in<br \/>\nSouth Suyarc of Roads, near Zuh&#8217;ta and Hitch&#8217;ow, in the South etherean vault of Obsod.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. And the Goddesses also rose up with extended hands; and now, because of the<br \/>\nbrilliancy of their presence, the throne became a scene of hallowed light, and threads<br \/>\nthereof extended to all the Council members, and by these were radiated outward so that<br \/>\nevery person in the Temple of Jehovih was connected with the throne, which made every<br \/>\nspoken word plain to all.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. Athrava said: In Jehovih&#8217;s name, welcome, O Fragapatti! And thy hosts with thee!<br \/>\nThe Goddesses repeated the same words, and they were echoed by the entire audience.<br \/>\nFragapatti said: In Thy name, O Jehovih, am I delivered to my loves. Be Thou with us, O<br \/>\nFather, that we may glorify Thee! Receive ye, O my people, Hapacha, Son of Jehovih,<br \/>\nwho rose up and stood in the dark all night long, in faith in Jehovih. Behold, I have<br \/>\ndelivered him in dawn, and his hosts with him.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">14. And now there appeared, rising like a new sun, Jehovih&#8217;s light beyond the throne,<br \/>\nreddish tinged, emblem of the Western Light, in honor of Hapacha. And it rose and stood<br \/>\nabove Fragapatti&#8217;s head in great brilliancy. Then spake Jehovih out of the Light, saying:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">15. With My breath create I alive the earth-born child; with My hand quicken I the<br \/>\nnewborn spirit; and with My Light illume I the soul of My Faithist. Behold, I dwell in the<br \/>\nAll Highest place, and in the lowest of created things; whoever findeth Me, I find also;<br \/>\nwhoever proclaimeth Me, I proclaim in return. Hapacha, My Son, Savior of men! of My<br \/>\nLight shalt thou be crowned!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">16. The Voice ceased, and now Fragapatti advanced to the midst of the throne, and took<br \/>\nof the light and fashioned a crown, and placed it on Hapacha&#8217;s head, saying: Crown of<br \/>\nThy Crown, O Jehovih, crown I Thy Son! In Thy Light shall he be wise and powerful,<br \/>\nwith Love to all Thy created beings, henceforth, forever.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">17. The Goddesses then received them, and after due ceremonies they all took their seats,<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">Fragapatti in the midst of the throne. Arthrava resigned at once, during the stay of<br \/>\nFragapatti. The es&#8217;enaurs now chanted: G<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">LORY BE TO <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">T<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">HEE<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">, O A<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">LL <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">L<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">IGHT<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">; <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">THE <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">P<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ERSON<br \/>\nOF EVERY KINGDOM HIGH AND LOW<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">; W<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">HO HATH BROUGHT OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS HOME<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">18. By natural impulse of thanks, Hapacha&#8217;s hosts, fifty millions, rose up and responded,<br \/>\nsinging: T<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">O <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">T<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">HEE<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">, O J<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">EHOVIH<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">, <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">HOW SHALL OUR SOULS FIND WORDS<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">! T<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">HY <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">S<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ON\u2019S AND <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">D<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">AUGHTER\u2019S<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">L<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">OVE, HOW CAN WE RECOMPENSE<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">? M<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">AKE US LIGHT AND CLEAR<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">, O F<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ATHER<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">! S<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">POTLESS BEFORE THEM<br \/>\nAND <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">T<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">HEE<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">19. But the anthems were long, and sung with brilliancy, rejoicing and responding,<br \/>\nmillions to millions, as an opera of high heaven.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">20. When the music ceased, Fragapatti said: With the close of dawn of dan, these hosts<br \/>\nshall be received as Brides and Bridegrooms of Jehovih, and ascend with us to the regions<br \/>\nof Goomatchala, in etherea. The apportioners will therefore divide them into groups in<br \/>\nHaraiti; with etherean teachers to prepare them. That this may be accomplished,<br \/>\nI proclaim one day&#8217;s recreation, to assemble on the next day in order of business.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">21. The marshals then proclaimed as had been commanded, and the hosts went into<br \/>\nrecreation, the ethereans rushing to Hapacha&#8217;s atmosphereans with great glee, every one<br \/>\ndesiring some of them.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seventh-Day Sabbath Book of Fragapatti Chapter 25, Chapter 26 Chapter 25 1.
