Book of Judgement Chapter 12<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Chapter 12<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Remember thy Creator and the magnitude of his creations. Before Him thou art but an
\natom, and as only one small creature.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Nevertheless, a multitude of people make a nation, with cities and hamlets.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. These are also graded by thy God, according to the ascendancy or the declension of the
\nwhole.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. If a city, then the grades of all the people shall be summed together in a scale of one
\nhundred.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. And if a nation, then the grades of the cities and hamlets, and of people of isolation,
\nshall be summed together in a scale of a hundred.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. And if half the people are above grade fifty, and half below fifty, the grade of that
\npeople shall be fifty.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. If one quarter only, then the grade of that people shall be twenty-five.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. On the basis of individual grades, shall be the grades of a city and of a nation.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. And the behavior of a city or a nation shall be graded in the same way, after the manner
\nof an individual.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. A certain nation built alms-houses and asylums sufficient for the needy, and, by its<\/span>
\ntyranny, made an equal number of needy ones. That nation raised not its grade for the
\ngood it had done.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. Another nation built no alms-houses, but, by its wholesome laws, there were none
\nneeded. That nation raised its grade many-fold.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. And yet another nation maintained a standing army, in order to maintain itself. That
\nnation stood in grade one only.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. The place of this last nation, in entrance into the es world, shall be grade one, which is
\nthe animal region, which is on the earth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. Whoso dwelleth in such a land, though he have a good individual grade, shall suffer
\ndeduction in the ratio of the grades of different nations of the earth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

15. But whoso dwelleth in a nation, high in grade, shall be ascended in his own individual
\ngrade.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

16. As these grades are on earth, so have I made them in the heavens thereof. In all cases
\ndepending on what one doeth for the resurrection of others.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

17. If a city, or nation, or a kingdom in heaven do unto others in resurrection, then shall
\nthat nation be graded accordingly.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

18. But, if there be no gain in the good than any of these do, they shall receive no grade.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

19. But, if they increase in raising individual grade, then are such cities and nations rising
\nin grade.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

20. Consider thy nation, O man, one generation with another; and as the relative
\nproportion of individual grades rise or fall, so shalt thou determine whether thy nation is
\nascending or falling in grade. Number its paupers and criminals as to increase or decrease.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

21. Consider not its wealth, nor its ships, nor its armies, nor its great buildings. These all
\ntogether are only one grade, and are of no value as to the spiritual grade of its people.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

22. For the strength and life of thy nation depend on its spiritual grade. Pursue this,
\nand thou shalt prophesy truly as to the growth or the downfall of a nation.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

23. Pursue this also with regard to the nations of the earth, and thou shalt determine the
\nrelative place of thine own nation in the es world.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
