And now came the long journey across the ocean. God said: Great is Thy wisdom, O<br \/>\nJehovih, in the division of waters! Thy barriers provide nations against nations. A refuge<br \/>\nhast Thou made beyond the waters, and the evil man cannot pursue. But greater still are<br \/>\nThy spirit oceans, O Father. The spirits of darkness cannot cross over, and the spirits of<br \/>\nnewborn peoples are not contaminated. Thou Far-seeing, Thou Bestower of thrift into the<br \/>\nhands of Thy Gods and Thy Lords.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. The master of the ship provided well for the journey; and presently the vessel of fire<br \/>\nsped over the water, high above the clouds that cover the ocean. Onward to the west,<br \/>\nbleak and desolate, through the spirit sea, unseen by mortals. On the far-off borders where<br \/>\nthe lands come to the waters&#8217; edge, the Lord of the land of Thouri stood, stationed in a<br \/>\nship, to welcome God to the great west lands.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. And this was the land called by the angels in aftertime North Guatama, signifying the<br \/>\nmeeting of nations and the dawn of kosmon.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. God came down out of the ship and stood on the land, and a light of etherean<br \/>\nflame descended upon him, and Jehovih spoke out of the light, saying: Hear Me,<br \/>\nO My Son! Hither have I brought thee. This land is the last of the circle, even as<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">Waga is the first. Behold, when the earth is circumscribed around about with<br \/>\nsuch as choose Me, I will come hither with a great awakening light to the souls of men.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. On this land will I finish the dominion of the Gods and Lords on earth, even as on<br \/>\nWaga; through thee and thy Lords will I now lay the foundation for My kingdoms.<br \/>\nOn this land will I raise up a people who shall be the fulfilling of that which the I&#8217;hins<br \/>\nof Waga profess; for My chosen shall come out boldly against all dominion save Mine,<br \/>\neven Jehovih. Look over this land, My Son, and provide unto the time of kosmon.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. My prophets shall foretell thee what shall happen; thou shalt look upon the<br \/>\nmountains and strong standing rocks, and the thought of thy soul shall pierce them,<br \/>\nand the impression thereof shall be as a written book before the races of men in that<br \/>\nday. Neither shall they know the cause, but they shall come forth in tens of thousands,<br \/>\nputting away all Gods and Lords and ancient tyranny, for My sake. Thy soul<br \/>\nshall be My talisman, deep engraven in the land and water and mountains.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. On this land alone shall not any Lord nor God be established by the sword, for it is My<br \/>\nland, which I planned for the deliverance of the nations of the earth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. The hosts of both the ships came and joined in gleesome reunion after a hundred years&#8217;<br \/>\nabsence; and it came to pass that God traveled over the land and waters of the great west<br \/>\ncontinent.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. And all the places that the Lord had searched out, to the east and west and north and<br \/>\nsouth, even to the farthest boundary, were revealed and recorded in the books of heaven.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. God said: And thou, my Lord, shalt mark out the place of the dominion of Jehovih in<br \/>\nthe founding of His kingdom on earth. And a record of thy labors shall descend through<br \/>\nthe Lords and Gods that come after thee, even down to the time of the coming light of<br \/>\nkosmon.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. And the people who shall dwell here till that day, shall never be worshippers of any<br \/>\nLord or God, such as other people shall worship.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. Let my seal be put upon this land, in the name of Jehovih, and to Him I consecrate it<br \/>\nforever!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. So, after that time, God rested from his labors, and the Lord with him. And the Lord<br \/>\nprepared a feast and reunion for all the angels in his dominions.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">14. And they thus assembled and sang and prayed and danced, and conversed on things<br \/>\nlong past and things of the future, re-assuring one another of their love and high esteem<br \/>\nafter the manner of mortals of this day.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">15. When the banquet was ended, God and his traveling host, in due ceremony and order,<br \/>\ntook their leave. Thus God departed. And when the ship of God was raised up and under<br \/>\nway, the voice of Jehovih came to God, saying:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">16. Steer thy ship, My Son, around about over all the other lands and islands and<br \/>\nwaters of the earth. Go low down to the earth that thy recording angels may witness<br \/>\nthe affairs of men and all the places I created on the earth, and the waters of the earth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">17. Thus God visited all places on land and water, even where man lived not, as<br \/>\nwell as where he lived, and the angels made a record thereof in the books of heaven.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">18. And the time of the journey and the visits of God to the places of earth and her<br \/>\nheavens was one year and seven days; and his rest was completed. So he sent messengers<br \/>\nto Hored, his heavenly kingdom, announcing the time of his coming. And he then set sail<br \/>\ntherefore.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Chapter XII<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">1. When it was known in Hored that God was about to return, Ha&#8217;jah put all things in<br \/>\nreadiness for God&#8217;s reception.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. And there volunteered ten thousand musicians and five thousand bearers of banners,<br \/>\none thousand marshals and officers of the throne, and one hundred thousand receivers, to<br \/>\ngo part way and meet God and his companions.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. And Ha&#8217;jah granted their prayers and they started at once, being the most majestic host<br \/>\nthat had as yet gone forth in the lower heaven.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. And when they were a little way off, behold, God and his ship of fire approached in<br \/>\nheavenly splendor. And the marshals met him and laid hold of the han&#8217;iv of the ship,<br \/>\nwhereon all the hosts did in like manner, save the musicians who sang and played.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. When they drew near and entered Hored, Ha&#8217;jah broke down from his high estate, and<br \/>\nleft the throne, running to meet God as a child would run to its father. And when the<br \/>\nmultitude saw this, they also broke loose from decorous behavior and gave full vent to<br \/>\ntheir outbursting love for God and his hosts. And all the people became as a tumult in<br \/>\nrivalry of rejoicing.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. In a little while God and Ha&#8217;jah turned and walked to the throne, ascending<br \/>\nthereon; and Ha&#8217;jah took his place, and God sat on his right, and order reigned.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. Ha&#8217;jah said: In Thy name, O Jehovih, I welcome back Thy First Son of earth to the<br \/>\nkingdom Thou hast bestowed upon him, and Thy sons and daughters. As much as he hath<br \/>\nglorified Thee, by his labor and by his wisdom and love, so do we honor him in Thy name<br \/>\nand for Thy glory!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. God said: In Thy name, O Jehovih, do I return to these, my loves! That I am returned I<br \/>\nglorify Thee, O My Father. That Thou hast made them to rejoice, is the glory of my life.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. And now a great light gathered up around the throne, so that many could not look<br \/>\nthereon, and presently the power of Jehovih came upon Ha&#8217;jah, and the voice of Jehovih<br \/>\nspake through him, saying to God:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. This is again thy throne, O My Son! Thou shalt finish that which I have put upon thee.<br \/>\nThy people shall learn the manner of my kingdoms, and know that even as I make all, so<br \/>\ndo I rule over all.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. Hang up thy traveling garb, My Son; dismiss thy traveling hosts and resume thy seat<br \/>\non the throne, for I gave it thee. The voice departed; Ha&#8217;jah rose up and stood aside, and<br \/>\nthe light fell upon God, and he resumed the throne and was hailed by the multitude in<br \/>\nJehovih&#8217;s name.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. God said to Ha&#8217;jah: Because thou hast prospered my kingdom during one whole year,<br \/>\nthou shalt be my companion and assistant, with power and wisdom to superintend all<br \/>\nmatters not direct with my Lords.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. Behold, this day have I set apart as a new day in heaven and earth; because on this day<br \/>\nthe sun taketh its course from the north line; and from this time forth it shall be called the<br \/>\nnew year&#8217;s day. So shall it be, from this time forth, the day of the relief watch in Hored.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">14. Hear my voice, O Ha&#8217;jah, and ye of the Council of the throne of heaven! That which I<br \/>\ncommanded shall ye proclaim throughout heaven and earth to all who serve me.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">15. Because of the increase of the kingdom of Hored I will have the place enlarged; and<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">the Council shall no longer be called a Council, but Moeb, for it shall be an assembly<br \/>\nover all councils below it.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">16. And Moeb shall no longer deal with the affairs of individuals, even though they be<br \/>\nLords; but she shall have dominion with the cities and kingdoms of heaven, and with<br \/>\njudgments and decrees.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">17. But in all matters of less degree, this, my son Ha&#8217;jah, shall have dominion. And thou,<br \/>\nO Ha&#8217;jah, shall build thee a house in Hored, near this throne, and it shall be thy house and<br \/>\nthe place of thy business.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Full Moon Book of Sethantes Chapter XI, Chapter XII Chapter XI 1.
