Book of Judgement Chapter 33<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

GOD JUDGETH AGAINST EXCLUSIVENESS.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

1. God said: Hear the judgments of thy God, O man; look thou upon all the world with
\nthe eye of a God.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Be thou comprehensive in judgment over all nations and peoples upon the earth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Jehovih hath said: Out of My very self created I all the living; brothers and sisters made
\nI them, from the members of My body.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Jehovih hath said: In the early days of a world, behold, I provided unto man different
\ncontinents and islands, separated by mighty waters, that man, in one division of the earth,
\nmight not interfere with man in another division of the earth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Jehovih hath said: Behold, one nation and people I allot to one civilization, and another
\nnation and people I allot to another civilization. Separately, on the different divisions
\nof the earth and on the islands in the seas, situated I the different peoples I created.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Jehovih hath said: But, when the world groweth older, and man attaineth to wisdom, I
\nsay unto him: Build thou ships, and sail across the waters I created; go visit thy brothers<\/span>
\nand sisters in the different divisions of the earth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Jehovih hath said: As man mastereth the ocean, and cometh to his brothers and sisters,
\nafar off, and I say unto man: Because thou hast mastered the ocean, let this be a testimony
\nunto thee, that there shall be no barrier, henceforth, between all the nations and peoples I
\ncreated.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Jehovih hath said: In kosmon I come, saying: Be ye brethren upon the face of the earth
\nand upon the waters of the earth; these are the legacies I bequeath unto My children.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Jehovih hath said: Be ye a help and a profit unto one another, judging wisely of the
\ndifferences which circumstances and places of habitation have developed in the races of
\nman.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. Now, I, thy God, O man, declare this judgment unto thee: Inasmuch as thy wisdom
\nhath surmounted the corporeal barrier, the ocean, betwixt thee and thy brother, it is
\nmeet and proper, that thy soul surmount the barrier of prejudice against thy brother.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. And that, instead of making laws against him, thou shalt do the opposite of this, and
\nthrow open the place of thy habitation, and thy soul, and thy love, to receive thy brother,
\ngodlike, and with open arms.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. Flatter not thyself, that thou canst turn aside, or set backward, the seasons of the
\nAlmighty.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. Wherein thou dost this, affliction shall surely come upon thee.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. Behold, I have made the heavens of the earth universal; and established heavenly
\nroadways around about the earth, that the angels of the different nations and peoples may
\nbe as angels of universal heavens, to help one another.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

15. Wilt thou make a law to incite the enmity of the spirits of the dead against thee? And
\nopen the door for still more aggressive wars?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

16. Shall the laws of man interdict the march of Jehovih?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

17. Now, behold, when kosmon came, I said unto thee: Come with thy God; peacefully
\nshalt thou knock at the doors of Chine’ya and Japan, and they shall open unto thee.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

18. This, thou accomplished; and those who had been exclusive hundreds of years, turned
\nfrom the olden ways to welcome Jehovih’s hand in thy promises.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

19. Now, I declare unto thee, I will not more have exclusiveness in any of the nations and
\npeoples in all the world.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

20. Neither shall there be taxes and duties of one nation or people against another.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

21. Behold, thou hast asked for the Father’s kingdom to come on earth as it is in heaven,
\nand I will give unto thee. As thou hast prayed, so will I answer thee, in the name of
\nJehovih.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

22. Thou shalt not serve both, Jehovih and mammon. Neither shall the light of my
\nheavens be with thee, save thou heedest my judgments.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

23. I will have all the ports open and free, nor shall there be partisan taxation, in favor of
\none nation against another, nor of one people against another people.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

24. It is not excusable for thee to say: Lo, the poor foreigner will come and consume my
\nriches!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

25. Thou shalt say the opposite: Welcome, my poor brothers and sisters! Whatsoever is
\nmine, is yours also. Come ye, and dwell within my country; it is ample, and Jehovih will
\nprovide unto us.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
