Book of Sethantes Chapter XXIII<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1. When the time of God and his hosts was fulfilled, Jehovih brought the earth into dan
\nof Eyon, in the arc Lais, whose angels descended in a ship of fire, and delivered
\nGod, his Lords and all the hosts under them who were prepared for the etherean
\nresurrection. At this time there were in atmospherea six hundred and twenty-five million
\ninhabitants. And the number of the second harvest was two hundred and eighty millions.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. After the manner of the ascent of the first harvest, so was the ascent of the second
\nharvest. And the place of the landing of the second harvest in the firmament of heaven
\nwas in Lais, and Bin, and the grade of the harvest was seventy-eight, being two less than
\nthe grade of the first harvest.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. So the heavens of the earth passed into the care of succeeding God and Lords, who had
\nbeen raised up and prepared therefore. And for the present there were no more ethereans
\ndwelling in these regions.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Jehovih had said: They that come out of the earth shall be sufficient unto themselves.
\nAs a mother provideth for her child, so do I provide for the spirit generations of a
\ncorporeal world; but when they are mature in wisdom, strength and love, I command
\nthem to take the places of Lords and God in the management of my kingdoms.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. So it came to pass after the ascent of the ethereans, the whole earth and its lower<\/span>
\nheavens were under the dominion of such as had sprung up out of the earth. Hence it
\nbecame a saying: The first was etherean rule; the second was atmospherean rule. For the
\nearth had Lords who had been on no other world, and a God who had never been on other
\nworlds.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. And it likewise came to pass that the atmospherean rulers were more lenient and less
\ntyrannical in their government than had been the ethereans. For as the ethereans had
\nforbidden the es’yans, the newly dead, to return to their mortal kindred, even to the fiftieth
\nyear in spirit life, so, not so with the present Lords and God, for they indulged hundreds
\nof thousands of es’yans for sympathy’s sake to return to their mortal kindred. And these
\nes’yans became not workers in heaven, either for others or for their own resurrection to
\nhigher regions; but they became idlers and vagabonds in the lower heaven, oft living with
\ntheir mortal kindred till their mortal kindred died, and then in turn persuading such
\nes’yans to do even as they did.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. And God perceived, when it was too late, that his leniency had laid the foundation
\nfor disorganizing the kingdom of heaven; for the strolling idlers, knowing no other
\nheaven, sowed the spirit of disbelief in the places of learning and industry in
\nthe lower heaven, persuading others that they were toiling to no good purpose.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. They said: Behold, it was told us on earth there was a Jehovih! But we are in heaven,
\nand yet we find him not. Now do we know of a truth there is no All Person. Come, then,
\nlet us seek ease and the rich viands that rise up out of the earth. A man liveth on the earth
\nand dieth, and his spirit floateth around about, and there is no more of him. Why will ye
\nserve the Lord? Why will ye serve God? Be free and live for yourselves instead of others.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Thus it came to pass little by little the lower heaven began to fall from its high estate.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. The third dan was six hundred years, and God and his Lords, having provided
\nsuccessors, ascended with their harvest to etherea. And the number thereof was
\nfour hundred and eight million Brides and Bridegrooms, and their grade was sixty-six.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. The fourth dan was five hundred years, and the harvest was six hundred million
\nBrides and Bridegrooms; and their grade was fifty-eight.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. The fifth dan was three hundred years; and the harvest was two hundred millions; and
\ntheir grade was fifty, which was the lowest grade capable of emancipation, or capable of
\nsurviving in etherea.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. And now darkness set in and covered all the earth around. And from this time until
\nthe end of the cycle, which was three thousand years from the birth of man on earth, there
\nwere no more resurrections to the emancipated heavens.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. The Kingdom of Hored was broken up and dissolved. The spirits loved not to labor
\nand to learn according to Jehovih’s plan, but returned to the earth-ornaments; and they
\nwere called <\/span>DRUJAS<\/span>, because they desired not resurrection.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

15. And God and the Lords, and their officers and teachers, were without subjects and
\npupils. And mortals were beset by thousands and millions of drujas, so that the ashars
\nwere powerless to accomplish good inspiration.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

16. At this time there were more than three thousand million angels in atmospherea, and
\nfor the most part, they dwelt on earth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

17. Thus ended the first cycle of the first heaven of the earth.<\/span><\/p>\n
