Book of Judgement Chapter 23<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

GOD JUDGETH UZ, COMMONLY CALLED THE WORLD\u2019S PEOPLE.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

1. God said: I am not come in this era to judge the drunkard, the harlot and thieves and
\nmurderers; these are known unto thee, O man.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. I am not come to repeat former judgments against whom all men understand to be
\nsinful; for, behold, I gave governments into the hands of men, to deal unto such
\nthemselves.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. But I am come to the leaders of men; to kings, queens, emperors and presidents; and
\nto philosophers and men of learning, priests, rab’bahs, cardinals and popes; and to<\/span>
\nmerchants, bankers, manufacturers, farmers, shippers, and hucksters.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Such as pass unscathed before the laws and government of man, and are reckoned
\npassably wise and good before the world.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. And not even to such of these as are bad men in disguise, who escape condemnation
\nbefore the courts, by cunning and stratagem.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. But I am come to the best of all of them, be they true Brahmins, true Ka’yuans, true
\nBudhists, true Kriste’yans, or true Mohammedans.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Therefore, O man, hear the judgment of thy God against them: They are not united and
\naffiliated as brothers.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. But the best of all of them are as so many individual entities pulling in different ways,
\nevery one for himself.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. The Brahmins are not communal; the Ka’yuans are not communal; neither are the
\nBudhists, nor the Kriste’yans, nor the Mohammedans; neither the philosophers, priests,
\nmerchants, nor any one people in all the world.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. There is no fullness of heaven amongst any of them. They are divided into thousands
\nof ideas and projects.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. Now, hear me, O man, and consider the wisdom of thy God: Satan is wiser than any
\nof these I have named.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. For satan hath made armies of soldiers communal. He hath discovered the power of
\naffiliation and discipline.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. Behold, a thousand soldiers are more efficient than ten thousand men, unorganized.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. Judgment is rendered against the best of men in all the world, because they are
\ninorganic for righteousness, and for establishing the Father’s kingdom.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

15. This, then, is what befalleth the nations and peoples of the earth: Alike and like the
\nangels of heaven minister unto mortals (save wherein thy God and his Lords provide
\nespecially otherwise), the inorganic heavenly regions to the inorganic inhabitants of the
\nearth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

16. Now, behold, I said unto thee, in the olden times, try the spirits, and see, if they be of
\nGod.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

17. For the angels who wander about on the earth know not my kingdoms, and they deny
\nme, and deny all order and system and discipline in heaven and earth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

18. And each and all such angels, coming to mortals, do so on their own account,
\nassuming any form and name they may find acceptable unto men.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

19. Such angels have not yet entered the first resurrection; nor belong they to any
\ndisciplined kingdom in heaven.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

20. And all mortals, such as I have named to thee as the best and highest of
\nmortals, enter the es world (after death), only into the inorganic regions of heaven.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

21. Neither can they enter into the lowest of my kingdoms until they abnegate self and
\nlearn affiliation.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

22. Therefore, after death, they remain, for the most part, in their former places: The
\nmerchant in his counting-house, the banker in his bank, the shipper in his place, the
\nphilosopher in his place, the pope in his place, the king in his, the farmer in his.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

23. Neither have they power or wisdom to go to any other place; and they stroll about,
\nlike one that hath lost his master. Neither will they affiliate with other angels; but, in
\nstubbornness and moroseness, persist in working out an individual identity, until they are<\/span>
\nbroken down in sorrow and darkness, which may be in a few years, or it may be hundreds
\nof years.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

24. And, then, my holy ones come to them, and carry them away to my es’yan schools.
