Book of Es, Daughter of Jehovih Chapter 20<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Chapter 20<\/span><\/p>\n

JEHOVIH OVERTHROWETH SLAVERY IN GUATAMA.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Es said: In the olden times, and in the eastern countries, Jehovih began His revelations.
\nThe western continent He left for the finishing thereof.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Now, when God looked abroad over Guatama, he saw four millions of people in
\nbondage, as slaves; and he saw that they must be liberated. And so, God inquired of the
\nchief mathematician in the Holy Council, one Arak, saying: Who, of all the kings of
\nearth, hath had the greatest number of slaves?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. And Arak said: Xerxes, who dwelleth in Yope’gah, in atmospherea.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. God said: Send thou a heavenly ship for him, and for a thousand million of his angels.
\nAnd send also for the Argos’yan, Leonidas, and for a thousand million of his angels. And,
\nwhen they are brought here, they shall descend to the earth, to these barbarians, and
\nliberate their slaves.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Arak saluted, and departed, giving his instructions to the heavenly marshals, who at
\nonce sent ships and messengers as directed.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. God, then, said: I will now recall the ashars, who hold guard over these mortals; and,
\nfor a season, they shall dwell in drujan darkness.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. And this was accomplished, and straightway a war ensued betwixt the owners of the
\nslaves and the neighboring states.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Then, came the Gods and angels, high in the grades, to witness the play of mortal
\ndeath, and to determine how best to win to liberty and to Jehovih, the inhabitants of this
\ngreat land.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. God had said: It is an easy matter to win in war; but to make mortals see the triumph of
\nrighteousness, is not so easy. Therefore, be discreet in appropriating testimony unto
\nJehovih.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. And, there rose up two million men in arms, pushing on in war on every side,
\ncoursing the rich soil in mortal blood. And yet, neither side had defined its principles, or
\ntaken stand for righteousness sake. But went on in fearful destruction, laying in death tens
\nof thousands, and tens of thousands!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. Jehovih said: Send thou, thy Parsi’e’an and Argos’yan angels, down to these
\nmortals, and, by inspiration and by dreams and by visions, thy angels shall say to them:
\nWhoso professeth the earth, shall battle in vain; but whoso professeth righteousness
\nin My name, shall win. And millions of angels descended, and tried to persuade them.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>12. But mortals would not hear. Even the chief general, on liberty’s side, closed his
\nsoul against Jehovih. Aye, himself, enforced slavery with his mighty army.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. And years went on, and all the people began to perceive that, without righteousness,
\nthere would be no end to the war.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. Jehovih had said: Only death can reach these people, or make them behold my hand.
\nYet, thou shalt send thy angel hosts over all the north regions and inspire them, to call out
\nfor liberty.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

15. Then went forth Xerxes and Leonidas, with their two thousand million angels, to
\noverspread the north, to inspire mortals to a more heavenly stand, to make them see
\njustice and liberty.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

16. And, for a hundred days, these angels dwelt with mortals; but many mortals were too
\ngross in the earth to comprehend. Then, Xerxes came to New York, and took hence the
\nguardian angels, those of holiness, and he left the city in the hand of drujas. And, at once,
\nthe city was plunged in hell, and the people were as a mad people, wild and fearful.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

17. Again, Jehovih spake in the Holy Council in heaven, saying: Let My angels go once
\nmore, and inspire mortals to rise to the light of My will.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

18. Again, the angels overrun the land, inspiring mortals day and night to demand
\nfreedom for the slaves. And the Embassadress of Jehovih said to her inspiring hosts of
\nangels: Number ye the mortals, north and south, as to their majority voice for freedom.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

19. Now, when the Gods numbered the mortals and graded them, they discovered the
\nmajority had turned to freedom’s side.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

20. Jehovih said to his Embassadress: Take thine own inspiring host, and go down to the
\nearth, to Washington, to Lincoln, the president, and hold this matter up to him, that he
\nmay understand Me. For he is not bound in doctrines. For which reason My angels made
\nhim president, and for this purpose which I have in hand.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

21. And it shall come to pass that Lincoln will hear thee, and he shall resolve in his own
\nmind freedom for the slaves. But he will seek for some external sign, fearing he may have
\nmistaken the angels that minister unto him. But I will provide a way for this end also.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

22. And the angels of Jehovih went to Lincoln in a vision, like a dream, and they said
\nunto him: Lincoln! Lincoln! And he answered and said: Who art thou?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

23. And the angels said: Such as come in Jehovih’s name for freedom’s sake. Behold,
\nmillions of his angels look down from heaven, and would come to thy armies, if thou
\nwouldst but proclaim freedom to the slaves. Jehovih’s hand is in this matter.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

24. Lincoln awoke, and was troubled with his dream.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

25. The next night, the angels came again, and re-told their words, and added thereunto:
\nThe great majority of the country is ripe for this matter. Thou fearest this is but a foolish
\ndream. Behold, we will give thee proof tomorrow.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

26. Lincoln awoke more troubled than before, but remembered, the angels said: We will
\ngive thee proof to-morrow.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

27. Jehovih said: I will make this matter a testimony to this nation, so that no man may
\ngainsay it. And I will show also how My angels work singly and in mighty legions.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

28. Now, at that time, there was living in Washington, a seeress, Nettie Mainard, through
\nwhom spirits spake in her entrancement. And on the day mentioned, the angels spake
\nthrough her, saying to one Kase: Go thou, and fetch the president into the presence of this
\nwoman.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>29. And Kase went to Lincoln, and told him what was said. And when Lincoln was before
\nthe seeress, the angel of Jehovih entranced her, and said unto him: We said, we would
\ngive thee proof to-morrow. Behold, we repeat unto thee, Jehovih is in this matter. Save,
\nthou proclaimest the freedom of the slaves thou shalt not succeed. Do thou this, and the
\nenemy’s armies shall melt away like snow in the sun.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

30. Lincoln’s eyes were opened, and he went straight away, and proclaimed freedom to
\nthe whole four million slaves.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

31. Xerxes said to Leonidas: Thou, great conquerer, thou shalt conquer me again.
\nTake thy thousand million angels, and go with the armies of the north, and inspire them
\non to victory. Give them such strength and courage as they have not before manifested.
\nAnd, as for myself and my hosts, we will go to the armies of the south, and we will
\ninspire them to believe they are conquered, and so make them flee before thy soldiers.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

32. Thus, these great angel warriors allotted themselves to the work. And, lo and behold,
\nthe northern armies ran forth over the enemy’s country as if war were but play; and the
\nsouthern armies vanished, disarming themselves, and returning to their homes.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

33. The slaves were free!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

34. Jehovih said: Let this be a testimony, that this land is the place of the beginning of the
\nkosmon era. There shall be no caste amongst my people.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

35. Behold, I went to the Israelites, and in that day, I said: Keep yourselves as a separate
\npeople! For I had work for them, which was to travel westward, and establish Me, the All
\nOne. And they came westward, and fulfilled My commandments. Wherefore I have
\nblessed them.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

36. And I went to Chine’ya, and I said: Let the followers of Chine keep themselves as an
\nexclusive people; for I have a work for them; which was to establish Me, the All One, and
\nto demonstrate the most numerous people in all the world united as one people,
\npeacefully. And they have accomplished their work. And I blessed them. And I went to
\nVind’yu also, and established a mighty people with a multiplicity of Gods and languages.
\nFor I had a work for them to do, which was to preserve My revelations of some of the
\ndivisions in My heavens above; and to prove, in after-time, things which I had revealed to
\nthe ancients. They have accomplished their work also, and I have blessed them.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

37. But, in this era, I come not to an exclusive people, but to the combination of all
\npeoples commingled together as one people. Hence, I have called this, the K<\/span>OSMON <\/span>E<\/span>RA<\/span>.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

38. Henceforth, my chosen shall be of the amalgamated races, who choose Me. And these
\nshall become the best, most perfect of all peoples on the earth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

39. And they shall not consider race or color, but health and nobleness as to the mortal
\npart; and as to spirit, peace, love, wisdom and good works, and one Great Spirit only.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

40. Leonidas said to Xerxes: It will be revealed ere long that we have been here with our
\nangel hosts. As a testimony of this, let us allot a number of our angels to remain a season
\nwith mortals. And they shall inspire them to athletic sports peculiar to the Argos’yans and
\nParsi’e’ans.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

41. To this, Xerxes consented, and they asked for six hundred thousand angel volunteers;
\nand they received them, and officered them, and distributed them in such way that their
\ninspiration should develop mortals in health, strength and endurance, by means of athletic
\ngames.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

42. And it came to pass that the angels of heaven established athletic games amongst this<\/span>
\npeople, far and near. Jehovih said: Even in this shall man behold the Cause of causes
\nwhich lieth behind all things done on the earth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

43. And man searched as to the Cause of these things, and tried to persuade himself of
\nany cause but the true one!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

44. Jehovih said: I will show these people, that the chief causes of great affairs amongst
\nmortals come from the angels of My heavens.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

45. I come in kosmon not to free only the corporeal man, but the spiritual man. I
\nraised My hand against a God being founded in their constitution; neither will I
\nhave them to fight battles for Me. The past is past; angels and mortals shall be free!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
