Book of Sethantes Chapter V, Chapter VI<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Chapter 5<\/span><\/p>\n

1. In the first year of Hored there were received into God’s kingdom in heaven, one and a
\nhalf million es’yans, men, women and children, born of the earth. And there were still left
\nwithin the different divisions of the earth, with the Lords, three and a quarter millions of
\nes’yans, being for the most part fetals.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. In the first one hundred years there were born of the earth, one hundred and seventy
\nmillion es’yans. Such then was the number of three generations of I’hins; which is to say,
\nthat in those days the number of the inhabitants of the earth (not including the asuans,
\nwho were not created to everlasting life) was fifty-four millions. And already had each of
\nthe Lords’heavenly places become large kingdoms.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. In those days the period of five years was allotted to the es’yans as their time of infancy
\nin heaven, requiring nurses and helpers, but some of them required many years more.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. After five years the es’yans were taken from the nurseries, and taught by symbols and
\nobjects, the rudiments of education; and drilled in processions, and music and dancing
\nand gymnastics; but every day they were required for a brief period to labor, some at
\nweaving, some spinning, and some in transportation.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. The voice of Jehovih directed God, saying: The structure of My Kingdom in heaven
\nrequireth it of thee, that thou shalt make all labor an agreeable exercise for the growth of
\nthe spirits in my dominions.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. And God commanded the officers of the realm of Hored to lengthen the hours of labor,
\naccording to the age and strength of the spirits received up from the earth, and it was so.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Jehovih again spake to God, saying: In all labor thou allottest to those who have sprung
\nup from the earth, freely give to them to do whatever they desire; but thou shalt not
\nsuffer them to return to their earth kindred alone, unattended, lest because of their love
\nthey engraft themselves, becoming bound to mortals. But when they have lived fifty
\nyears in heaven, thou shalt not only permit them to return to mortals, but thou shalt
\ndirect them to do so, for in this period they shall have no further desire for engraftment.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Again Jehovih said: As fast as thou canst appropriate the labor of earth born spirits to
\nhelp in the resurrection of others, so shalt thou do in My name.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. And even so did God and the Lords under him; and in the time of one hundred years,
\nthere were raised up to the second rate, twenty million souls, that had come forth out of
\nthe earth. And many of them comprehended the manufactories, the nurseries and schools<\/span>
\nand hospitals in heaven to the full, and they were in many things alike equal to the
\nrequirements of their teachers.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. The voice of Jehovih came to God, saying: It is well, My Son, to take a rest.
\nBehold, thou hast toiled a hundred years, day and night, without ceasing.
\nThou shalt, therefore, appoint other officers, and spread out the kingdom of Hored
\nto cover all the land of Wagga (the continent of Pan). And thou shalt appoint in
\nMy name thy most efficient officer to sit on the throne for a short space of time,
\nfor thou shalt travel and visit the five Lords of the earth and their kingdoms.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. And thou shalt take with thee a thousand heralds, and a thousand messengers, and five
\nthousand musicians. And thou shalt have a ship sufficient to carry thy host, and to be as
\nthy house whithersoever thou goest. See to it, and set all things in order, and depart thou
\non a journey of one year.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. And God called in the surveyors, who brought maps of earth and heaven showing the
\nbest places for extending the kingdom of Hored.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. And God appointed fifty governors for the fifty places required, and he gave each of
\nthem five thousand men and women to accompany them. And when they were chosen
\nGod addressed them from the throne, saying:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. According to the commandment of the Father are ye chosen; and by His command
\nwill I come to your respective places ere long, and bestow ye with all that is required for
\nbuilding up colonies in Jehovih’s name. As ye witnessed the founding of Hored by the
\narchangel Etisyai, so may ye understand that I will come to you all. Go ye forth, then,
\ntaking your hosts, and lay down the foundations for your cities. As ye have learned from
\nme, go ye forth doing as I have done; and as ye do with a small colony, and a small city,
\nso will I give into your keeping that which is greater when ye are prepared therefore.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

15. When God ceased, the marshals led the way, and the hosts following their governors
\nfiled in front of the throne, saluting with the sign of Jehovih’s name, which was answered
\nby God’s hands upraised. Meanwhile the es’enaurs sang in glory to Jehovih. Presently the
\nhosts passed out and beyond the pillars of fire.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

16. When all had quieted, God said: Let the builders of ships begin now and build a ship
\nfor me and my hosts, for the time draweth near. And let the graders choose from my
\nlaborers, who have toiled a hundred years, day and night, without ceasing, such as shall
\nbe my companions and hosts on my journey; according to their grade shall they be
\nchosen.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

17. And even so were they chosen and notified.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

18. And God said: Whilst I shall be absent there shall sit on my throne, being God in my
\nplace, he who standeth highest in the grades. According to the transcendency of him who
\nhath done the most for the resurrection of the es’yans, so shall be your God and my God.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

19. And God commanded the graders to present before the throne the records, that the
\nCouncil of Hored might determine the matter. And this was so done.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

20. And Ha’jah, an etherean, was chosen. And God commanded them to send word unto
\nHa’jah, with an escort to conduct him to the capital.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

21. In due time the escort brought Ha’jah into the palace of the kingdom of God, and God
\nwas sitting on the throne. With music they came in and filed in front of the throne,
\nforming a crescent, with Ha’jah betwixt the horns.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

22. God said: By command of Jehovih have I summoned thee thither, O Ha’jah. Long<\/span>
\nbefore I have known thee, even on other worlds. Of all virtues in man which stand
\nhighest, which is, never to mention one’s self, thou excellest all men in my kingdom. Thy
\nlabors for the general upraising of Hored excellest all others. For this reason thou art
\npreferred, and by Jehovih chosen to be my assistant whilst I am here, and in my absence
\nto be my very God in the Father’s name.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

23. Ha’jah said: This being the will of Jehovih, proceed thou.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

24. God struck the gavel and the holy council rose to their feet. God said: In Jehovih’s
\nname I salute thee, Ha’jah, as God of Tek (See tablet Ah-iod’zan, B<\/span>OOK OF <\/span>S<\/span>APHAH<\/span>)
\nto hold dominion in Hored. Come forth and receive thou my throne for the Father’s
\nsake. The marshals then conducted Ha’jah to the foot of the throne, and God came
\ndown and took his hand and led him up. And as they were going forth a light,
\nas of golden fire, came down from the firmament above, sent by the kingdoms
\nhigh exalted; and God and Ha’jah were covered around about and illuminated.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

25. God said: By Thy Wisdom, Love and Power, O Jehovih, do I receive this Thy son on
\nThy Throne. Be Thou with him in Wisdom and Strength for Thy glory forever! Amen!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

26. God raised up a rod, waving it, and rain came down from heaven. Ha’jah said: In Thy
\nname, O Jehovih! Whereupon God stretched forth his hand unto Jehovih, saying: Give
\nme a crown for Thy son, God of Tek, O Jehovih!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

27. And there descended, as if a small star, far lengthened out, a light of gold and silver,
\nand it settled on God’s hand, and he fashioned it into a crown, and emblazoned it with the
\nsign G<\/span>OD OF <\/span>T<\/span>EK<\/span>, and placed it on Ha’jah’s head, saying: In Jehovih’s name, thee I crown,
\nto sit on the throne in Hored during my absence.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

28. Ha’jah said: Thy son, O Jehovih, shall fulfill Thy commandments in wisdom and love.
\nMay the Father, Creator of worlds, give this Thy son rest and comfort for the glories he
\nhath wrought in Thy name! Amen!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

29. The Council said: Amen! The es’enaurs chanted an anthem of praise to Jehovih. And
\nGod led Ha’jah forth and seated him on the throne, saying: Thou art God in my name and
\nJehovih’s also. And since I now go down to the earth to sojourn for a season, thou shalt be
\nknown as God of both earth and heaven.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

30. So God departed out of Hored and embarked on a ship, taking with him seven
\nthousand men and women for his escort, beside a thousand es’enaurs and the crew of
\nthree thousand to work the ship.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Chapter 6<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

1. And God went to the provinces of the governors of heaven dwelling on earth, whom he
\nhad appointed and sent forth; and as he himself had been commissioned by Jehovih in
\nHored, so did he install the governors on their seats.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. And the governors were situated within Waga (Pan) at remote distances, but God sent
\nmessengers to them, notifying them of the time he would appear.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. And the Lord being apprised of God’s journey, established a protectorate in the Lord’s
\nkingdom in the city of Ul’oo, on earth, and went and joined the ship of God, and traveled
\nwith him throughout Waga, being present at the inauguration of the governors in these
\nheavens.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. To each and all the governors, God said: Remember that that which is given to my<\/span>
\ngovernors pertaineth to things in heaven; for the Lord’s matters pertain to earthly things,
\nand to angels that labor with the corporeans. But ye are to attend to the es’yans, receiving
\nthem in heaven, providing them with places to sojourn, and in their helplessness supply
\nthem with food and clothes, and the rudiments of learning.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. God said: Remember ye also, the time cometh when each of these governorships shall
\nattain to an independent kingdom; and instead of being governors ye shall be raised as
\nsub-Gods.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. After God established the governors, the Lord persuaded God to visit his place in
\nUl’oo, and thence to go around about on earth and see the mortals with whom the Lord
\nhad to deal. And God consented, and the Lord sent messengers on before him, that the
\nhouse of the Lord, which mortals had built, might be replenished and cleansed.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. And the protectorate notified the ashars, and the ashars impressed mortals to go and
\ncleanse and purify the house of the Lord. And so mortals fell to work and cleansed the
\nplace, and burned incense of sweet myrrh and hepatan, not even knowing they were
\nfulfilling the command of the Lord.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. When the ship of the hosts of God came to the city of Ul’oo, mortals saw it high up
\nin the air, and they feared and ran hastily to consult the prophet of the Lord. And
\nthe prophet said: Behold, God appeareth in a sea of fire in the firmament of heaven.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. And God caused the ship to be made unseen, that fear might subside on earth, and he
\ndescended with his hosts into the house of the Lord, and they went and touched the things
\nmortals had built that they might perceive corporeally.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. And the Lord gave a banquet, and the angels of God tarried four days, exchanging
\nfellowship with the ashars, who ministered to mortals. And the ashars took the angels of
\nGod around about amongst mortals, both whilst mortals were asleep and awake, showing
\nthem all things.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. And because of the presence of the hosts of God, mortals were aroused with new
\nvigor to worship the Lord, rising early and going to the house of worship and continuing
\nall day, and not one of them knew the cause thereof.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. On the evening of the fourth day God commanded his hosts to prepare to renew the
\njourney, and the ship was again illumed and set for its course.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. God said: O Jehovih, who createth all, look down and bless Thy Lord! He hath from
\nhis high estate in etherea, descended to these poor mortals to lift them up. Already hath he
\ntoiled with them a hundred years. Three generations have risen up out of the earth, and
\nthey begin to glorify Thee in Thy kingdoms above the earth. Who but Thee, O Jehovih,
\ncan honor Thy Lord or know his sore trials! Behold, man groweth up out of the earth,
\nsaying: There is no Lord and no God. But his feet and his hands are guided every hour of
\nthe day. Yea, when he entereth the unseen worlds, they become seen; but he is helpless in
\na strange place. And Thy Lord provideth him and teacheth him Thy kingdoms. Thy Lord
\ngoeth from place to place on the earth. He findeth a corner and saith: Here will I build a
\ncity. He sendeth his angels forth and they inspire man on the earth to come and build a
\ncity. Yet when the city is built, man saith: Behold, there is no God and no Lord.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. The Lord bringeth the corporeans together and guardeth them day and night;
\nbut man turneth away in strife and destruction. Then Thy Lord withdraweth his
\nangels of the city because of its wickedness; and lo, the city falleth in ruins. But man
\nknoweth not the cause. Yet Thy Lord toileth on, day and night, watching, guarding<\/span>
\nand striving to lift man up out of darkness. O Jehovih, Father, bless Thy Lord and
\nhis hosts! Haste the time when man shall comprehend the foundations of Thy kingdoms!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

15. The Lord said: O Jehovih, Ever Present! Hear the words of Thy God. He who
\ncomprehendeth the whole earth and the heaven of the earth, knowing no day nor no night.
\nHe dealeth with millions; his judgment is sufficient for all.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

16. Glorify him, Thy Son, of heaven and earth. He fashioneth the homes of Thy Lords and
\nThy little ones in great wisdom. His love is the glory of all men; his strength fashioned
\nafter Thy foundations. Give swiftness and rest, and joy in Thy quickening to him, Thy
\nGod!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

17. The mortals of the city of Ul’oo had gathered together to worship, and they were
\nsinging and dancing to the Lord, and the angels joined in the singing also. And God went
\nand sat on the altar and illuminated it, so the mortals could see him. And the chief prophet
\ncame near the place of the Lord, and the Lord placed his hand on the forehead of the
\nprophet, so he might speak in the name of God.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

18. The prophet said: Behold me, I am the God of heaven and earth, and my words come
\nout of the mouth of this my prophet. Keep holy the four days of the moon, for they are the
\nLord’s days. (See ceremonies of Hi-dang, Saphah, and also Mas.) Do no evil, but strive
\nfor wisdom and to do good. And when ye are dead, behold, ye shall live, for I have places
\nprepared for ye in my heaven. Rejoice and be merry, for the Lord liveth and reigneth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

19. When the prophet ceased, God rose up from the altar, and his traveling host also, and
\nsaluting the Lord in the name of Jehovih, disappeared in heaven above.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
