Jehovih spake in the light of the throne of God in Hored, saying: Behold, a star<br \/>\ncometh!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. The voice ceased, but God and his hosts knew the meaning, for it was the time of Aph<br \/>\nto return and complete his deliverance of Neph and his hosts, and his Lords and their<br \/>\nhosts.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. So the Council were moved to look into the firmament; and the messengers who had<br \/>\nheard the voice, and who were departing on their various missions, also looked upward,<br \/>\neven as they sped forth to their places; and they proclaimed it in the places of all the<br \/>\nheavens of the earth, and to the Lords and their divisions of the earth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. And the angels of heaven and those that abode with mortals were stirred up, and<br \/>\nbecause of their contiguity to mortals, the latter comprehended that something unusual<br \/>\nwas near at hand.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. The Council of Hored knew not how they should proceed, for the event was to surpass<br \/>\nin magnificence anything they had ever witnessed.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. God said: I have heard Thy voice, O Jehovih. I know a star cometh, and great shall be<br \/>\nthe glory thereof. Give me light, O Father. How shall Thy servant know the decorum<br \/>\nof Orian Chiefs? Behold, I am as one abashed with obscurity in Thy wide universe!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. Jehovih&#8217;s voice answered, saying: Fear not, My Son. And let thy Council be<br \/>\nstrong also. Proceed at once to decorate thy people, preparatory to receiving the<br \/>\nresurrection. And those who are to be My Brides and Bridegrooms clothe ye in white.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. The whole Council heard Jehovih&#8217;s voice, and they ordained officers to proceed<br \/>\nthroughout atmospherea and put in effect Jehovih&#8217;s commandment. And the decorated<br \/>\nangels, and those prepared as Brides and Bridegrooms for etherea, were ordered to form<br \/>\nin companies near the throne of God in Hored; and the officers of companies were also<br \/>\nprovided with badges, whereon was inscribed an account of their labor on earth and in<br \/>\nheaven, the number and nature of their charities and self-sacrifices for others&#8217; good, and<br \/>\ntheir grade in purity and power and wisdom. And the privates were decorated with stars to<br \/>\nillustrate the same things, in degree and number; and the stations of their file in Hored<br \/>\nwere provided in the order of music, rating them according to their chord and discord, and<br \/>\ntheir social adaptability.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. For these things were done before etherean judges, to whom Jehovih had said: Let the<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">people pass before you, and judge ye them, that being assorted and arranged they shall<br \/>\nmake one harmonious whole; for it is only by this they will have power to ascend and<br \/>\nendure in My regions of light. There were one million of these judges, and they took up<br \/>\ntheir stations in different parts of atmospherea, wherever the second resurrection had been<br \/>\nestablished, every judge choosing a district for himself or herself, for they were both men<br \/>\nand women.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. And as the angels passed before them, the wisdom of the judges was so great they<br \/>\ncould comprehend all they had ever done, either on earth or in heaven. And by signals the<br \/>\nproper officers were advised how to decorate and adorn all of them.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. And as fast as companies of one thousand passed, they were provided with<br \/>\nconductors, who took them to their places, which had been previously determined by the<br \/>\ncommand of God.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. Whilst this work was proceeding, lights began to appear in the firmament above;<br \/>\nthese were the marshals of the Orian fields in etherea, in their star-ships, making course<br \/>\nfor Hored, and their number was legion. But presently one brighter and more powerful<br \/>\nthan the rest made way from the western arc of Onah&#8217;yi, and it steered direct to God&#8217;s<br \/>\nthrone, growing brighter and larger as it came. And when it entered past Chinvat, and was<br \/>\nwell within the vortex of the earth in the belt of the moon&#8217;s orbit, its light spread across<br \/>\nthe whole atmosphere of heaven, and Hored was illumined, and the angels of Hored were<br \/>\nstirred up with enthusiasm.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. Not long the brilliant star delayed the suspense of the angel world, for he who<br \/>\nsailed them was a God of millions of years, and by his wisdom attained to such<br \/>\nmastery that the elements of earth and atmospherea gave way, as if appalled by a heaven<br \/>\non fire. Down came the star-ship whose majesty outweighed all ceremony, a very crown<br \/>\nof magnificence, even to the arena of the Council of Hored. And he who came,<br \/>\nattended by half a million, was Sue&#8217;ji, marshal for that which was soon to follow.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">14. God rose up, saluting, and all the hosts rose up, whereupon Sue&#8217;ji ascended the throne,<br \/>\ngreeted by God and his Council, near at hand. Sue&#8217;ji said:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">15. By thy will, O Jehovih! And God said: In Thy name, O Father, Creator! Welcome to<br \/>\nThy Son! And presently all the place was aglow with a golden light, which ranks first in<br \/>\nheaven of all colors, and the voice of Jehovih descended on Sue&#8217;ji, and he said:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">16. Well beloved, come! Long enduring, come! Of patience and steadfastness, My sons<br \/>\nand daughters! Behold, I came in the darkness and delivered Mi, for she was of twins<br \/>\nheavily laden. And the one dwelt with the mother, but the other I sent to nurse in<br \/>\nHautuon. And they are grown to maturity; a son and daughter twin.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">17. Turn ye to Hautuon; lo, the twin cometh! She was the puny child; but look ye upon<br \/>\nher, O ye Gods and Goddesses! Her thousand millions come as an avalanche of ji&#8217;ay&#8217;an<br \/>\nworlds. Open your arms, O My beloved sons and daughters.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">18. The voice ceased, and Sue&#8217;ji said: When the harvest of Hautuon arriveth, attended by<br \/>\nthe Gods and Goddesses who helped deliver the children of darkness, and who have<br \/>\nchanged them into beacons of light, behold ye, there shall be three days of recreation in<br \/>\natmospherea; for the hosts of Hautuon shall be shown their native world, whence they<br \/>\ncame; and they shall read the lineage of kin and condition whence they were rescued by<br \/>\nJehovih&#8217;s sons and daughters.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">19. But on the first day, behold, Aph, the Orian Chief, will descend in all his glory. And<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">on the fourth day all your upraised sons and daughters shall ascend into the etherean<br \/>\nworlds, where there are in waiting, to receive you, millions of millions of souls, long<br \/>\nsince dwellers in Nirvana. Sue&#8217;ji ceased speaking, having given commands as to the<br \/>\nstations of his marshals around about the earth and her heaven.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">20. God sent his messengers, saying: Go ye to Wak&#8217;hah and say: God saith: My heavens<br \/>\nhave been numbered, and the account of my laborers rendered and recorded in the<br \/>\nlibraries of Hored. And of all the hosts who have labored with thy God, behold, thou, O<br \/>\nWak&#8217;hah, standest on the highest grade. Come, therefore, to the throne of thy God and be<br \/>\nanointed God of heaven and earth for the next four hundred years, and as long after as<br \/>\nJehovih willeth!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">21. The messengers, attended by one thousand marshals, departed for Adjun, the place of<br \/>\nlabor where Wak&#8217;hah dwelt, being a physician&#8217;s nurse for es&#8217;yans and still-born mortal<br \/>\nchildren and those killed by abortion. And they delivered the message of God, to which<br \/>\nWak&#8217;hah replied: Thanks, O Jehovih! Tell God I will come. But yet let me surmise: I have<br \/>\nbeen all my life, now some thirty thousand earth years, trying to learn where I should be<br \/>\nmost serviceable to Jehovih and His sons and daughters. And when I judge that I have<br \/>\nfound it, lo, a summons cometh from another way, saying: Come thou hither. Wherefore<br \/>\nit seemeth Jehovih forever hurrieth us onward, faster than our wisdom can discover the<br \/>\nrequirement. So the marshals provided an otevan, and Wak&#8217;hah was conducted before<br \/>\nHored, even to the foot of the throne of God, where he was saluted and received under a<br \/>\nrod of water, according to his rank.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span class=\"fontstyle0\">Chapter 16<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">1. Nearer and nearer came the visiting stars, the etherean ships from thousands of worlds,<br \/>\nwith countless millions of emancipated souls, dwellers in the Nirvanian regions of<br \/>\nJehovih. And when they reached the boundaries of the earth&#8217;s vortex they halted a while,<br \/>\nto form in rank and rank, that their glory might add to one another; and whilst they stood<br \/>\nthus in the great vault of heaven, there opened on one side a gateway amidst the stars; and<br \/>\nfar beyond came a strange and mottled sun, swaying to and fro; and this was the great<br \/>\nfields and forests of Hautuon letting loose the thousands of millions of the delivered<br \/>\nearth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. God and his hosts saw it. And every soul burst forth one universal shout of applause. It<br \/>\nwas coming straight to Hored. And as it came nearer, the curtains and sails and streamers,<br \/>\nmade of yellow, blue and red fire, began to wave and surge, like a ship in a rough sea, but<br \/>\nsteadily holding course in the undulating elements. Presently could be seen guardian<br \/>\nships, thousands and thousands, traveling beside the laboring sun, the hosts of Hautuon.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. And the guardian ships were themselves like stars, and carried millions of etherean<br \/>\nsouls who had been Gods and Goddesses on many worlds; and they formed wings for the<br \/>\nHautuon avalanche, to hold steady the course to the red star, the earth of mortals. And<br \/>\nthus, in honored discipline, came the fleet of Jehovih&#8217;s worshippers, who only two<br \/>\nhundred years since, were but as vermin delving into darkness, and deep buried in death,<br \/>\nas their only knowledge; to whom Great Jehovih and His exalted worlds were unknown.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. Brighter and brighter grew that great waving sun, sailed by the immortal Gods, and<br \/>\nlarger and more imposing, till, when it entered the earth&#8217;s vortex, it became as living fire,<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">large as the earth, and of brilliant colors, from black to adamant, and blue, and white, and<br \/>\npurple, yellow, scarlet, pink, and of all shades; and living, and sparkling, with the broad<br \/>\ncurtains suspended, deep as the breadth of a world, and sails and flags that reached<br \/>\nupward, high as the moon.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. Midway in the vortex of the earth it halted, and the myriads of stars beyond now<br \/>\ngathered in, majestically, from every side, till nearly around about the fabric of the earth&#8217;s<br \/>\natmosphere was not a place but glowed with Jehovih&#8217;s fire of heaven. Music, which rose<br \/>\nfrom the throne of God a little while before, now ceased; for here was the play of<br \/>\nelements in harmony, of which music is the same to the ear of mortals.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. Hardly stood the kaleidoscope of splendors in one attitude, but moving, changing and<br \/>\nforming by the decrees of the Gods and Goddesses; as a general on earth manipulates his<br \/>\narmies, in the evolution of arms, so in majesty and splendor the marshaling stars forever<br \/>\nevolved new and glorious changes stretching abroad over the whole firmament of heaven.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. And now another gateway opened amidst the stars; and a cluster star was seen<br \/>\napproaching from the southeast. It was as a star surrounded by stars, and brighter than all<br \/>\nthe others. This was the ship-star of Aph, the Orian Chief. At sight of which all souls in<br \/>\nthe firmament turned in pride and wonder. Swift and mighty above all the countless<br \/>\nmillions of Gods and Goddesses assembled had he attained in the play and management<br \/>\nof worlds. And at sight of his etherean star, angels and Gods whispered: Aph! And the<br \/>\nmagic of his name, widely known in the Nirvanian fields of the emancipated heavens,<br \/>\nspread abroad, till every soul uttered, A<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">PH<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">! in all the regions of atmospherea and on the<br \/>\nearth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. Nearer and nearer he came, nor halted at Chinvat, the boundary of the earth&#8217;s vortex;<br \/>\nbut steadily, and with power, sailed on till his star stood in the doorway of heaven, and<br \/>\nhere halted as if to complete the immortal scene.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. But a moment more, and all the avalanche of the glorious worlds around moved<br \/>\nonward toward the earth, and surrounding it on every side, and the star of Aph making<br \/>\nheadway for Hored, even to the throne of God.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. This was the morning of the third day in tide of dan, in which there were still four<br \/>\ndays left. But now the marshals took their parts; first, Sue&#8217;ji, Chief over all the rest, from<br \/>\nthe throne of God, cried out: All hail, O Aph, Son of Jehovih! And the words were caught<br \/>\nup on every side, and uttered in one breadth around the world. Yet nearer and nearer<br \/>\ngathered in the great star-ships and sun of Hautuon, till even like a net they joined and<br \/>\nfilled the earth&#8217;s atmosphere in the east and west and north and south, and below and<br \/>\nabove; on every side. And the words of the marshal: All hail, O Aph, Son of Jehovih!<br \/>\nwent like an echo over all the heavens.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. Then Aph&#8217;s fleet drew near, and he and his hosts alighted, and he ascended the throne,<br \/>\nsaluting, saying: All hail, O Neph, God of heaven and earth! And this was also uttered by<br \/>\nthe millions of hosts. Whereupon the signs and ceremonies of the Gods were briefly<br \/>\nconcluded, and a recreation of three days proclaimed. And the angels&#8217; hosts came forth<br \/>\nout of their ships, or by the endless chain sped to any quarter of the earth they desired to<br \/>\nvisit. And for three days and nights the visitors dwelt on the earth and in the lower<br \/>\natmospherea; inspecting how the earth was made; its land and water; its mountains and<br \/>\nvalleys; its beasts of prey and beasts of burden; its birds and fishes; and above all, its<br \/>\nmortal people and spirits who lingered about the earth, the great story tellers, who knew<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">no higher heaven. And then they surveyed atmospherea and the works of God and his<br \/>\nLords; their nurseries, hospitals, factories, schools and colleges.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. And on the fourth day the marshals called order; and so great was the discipline of the<br \/>\nhosts and the arrangement of the star-ships, that in a moment of time order reigned<br \/>\namongst all these countless millions of people.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. Now, during the recreation, the Chiefs from many worlds, and Gods and Goddesses,<br \/>\nmingled together, and exchanged their varied experience in the wide regions of Jehovih&#8217;s<br \/>\nuniverse, of the management of both corporeal and es&#8217;sean worlds, and of the cosmogony<br \/>\nof etherean planets; and the surveying of roadways, and of turning worlds from their<br \/>\norbitic course, or changing their axic rotation, and of the deliverance of millions of souls<br \/>\ninto the ji&#8217;ay&#8217;an fields, and of the creation of new corporeal worlds and the dissolution of<br \/>\nothers, and the gathering together of the spirits disinherited, and of their final<br \/>\nresurrection. Neither seemed there any end to Jehovih&#8217;s universe, where such wonders go<br \/>\nonward forever!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">14. When order was restored, God commanded Wak&#8217;hah to rise to be anointed, and God<br \/>\nsaid: In Thy name, O Jehovih, I anoint this, Thy Son, God of heaven and earth for the<br \/>\nnext four hundred years. Guide him in wisdom and love, O Father.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">15. And God gathered from the abundance of eth&#8217;ic and made a crown and placed it on<br \/>\nWak&#8217;hah&#8217;s head, saying: Hail God of heaven and earth, Jehovih&#8217;s Son! This was shouted<br \/>\nby the hosts. And then God took off the triangle, the sam&#8217;gan, the heirloom of the Gods of<br \/>\nthe red star, the earth, and God hung it on Wak&#8217;hah&#8217;s neck, saying: Take this heirloom,<br \/>\nthe symbol of three entities in one, and wear it for the glory of the Great Spirit, Jehovih.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">16. To which Wak&#8217;hah, now God, answered: Thy will be done, O Father, Creator and<br \/>\nRuler over all. And all on the throne stood aside, and God (Wak&#8217;hah) ascended the throne<br \/>\nand sat in the midst, whereat the es&#8217;enaurs chanted, and the hymn sounded around the<br \/>\nwhole earth. Then Aph, Son of Jehovih, spake, saying:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">17. In four hundred years, O God, I will come and deliver thee and thy harvest, and thy<br \/>\nLords and their harvest, for the glory of Jehovih, the Unapproachable Almighty! Amen.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">18. And now Aph went and sat down at the foot of the throne, whereat God came down<br \/>\naccording to custom and took his hand, saying: Arise, O God, Son of Jehovih, and go thy<br \/>\nway! And Aph rose up, saluting, and he and his attendants departed and entered his starship. The es&#8217;enaurs chanted, the trumpeters played, and the solemn <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">MARCH OF <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">J<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">EHOVIH\u2019S SEA OF FIRE <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">sounded from heaven and earth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">19. The marshals now put the great works in order: Neph and his attendants were<br \/>\nstationed on the right of Aph in a ship new built; next to him, the ships of his Lords and<br \/>\ntheir attendants; after them, their marshals from the different divisions of the earth and<br \/>\natmospherea; next to them, the ships of the messengers; then the factors, then the nurses,<br \/>\nthen the physicians, and so on; and finally the divisions of earth-raised, who were now<br \/>\nadjourned to the sun-avalanche, being of the same rank. And these comprised the harvest<br \/>\nof Neph for Jehovih&#8217;s emancipated realms; and the number of souls exceeded all other<br \/>\nharvests raised up from the earth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">20. And now had come the time for the ascent, and Aph said: Give us of Thy power, O<br \/>\nJehovih! And his words were echoed in all places in heaven and on earth. The plateaux<br \/>\ntrembled and oscillated. Again Aph said: Of Thy power, O Jehovih! Arise, O Heaven!<br \/>\nArise, O Heaven!<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">21. And the plateaux of the sphere started from their foundations, and slowly moved back<br \/>\nand outward from the earth. The es&#8217;enaurs played the march; the ethereans tore off strips<br \/>\nof fabric and threw them down in Hored, and then formed flowers and leaves and<br \/>\nperfumed them, and cast them out, to fall in the lower heavens.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">22. Outward and outward the etherean world moved and moved, and then parted the<br \/>\nbreadth of the earth, and then rose slowly upward. Presently it turned on its own axis, and<br \/>\nwas as yet one entire world; but with its rotation the different stars began to individualize<br \/>\nand separate, all save the harvest of Neph, which was the central figure, led onward and<br \/>\nupward by Aph, Son of the Great Spirit.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">23. Faster and faster rose the glorious scene, and more aweful, and sparkling with<br \/>\nsplendor! Nor could one from Hored scarce look upon the dazzling light. But higher it<br \/>\nrose, and onward, toward its far-off destiny, till it disappeared in the firmament above.<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Chapter 17<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">1. Now was the atmospherea like a new heaven stripped of visitors, and ready to resume<br \/>\nlabor after a glorious festival. So God at once dispatched all hands to their places, and the<br \/>\nfactories, schools and colleges, nurseries and hospitals, were once more alive with willing<br \/>\nworkers.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. And Hored prospered in every department; and so also did the departments of<br \/>\nthe Lords on earth; and mortals also prospered under the light of the Great Spirit.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. For four hundred years God reigned in heaven, and his Lords under him, and the<br \/>\nsecond dan of Aph fell upon earth and heaven. So God appointed An&#8217;on as his successor.<br \/>\nAnd now Aph and his attendants came to deliver God; his Lords and people prepared for<br \/>\ntheir resurrection up into etherea.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. And the number of Jehovih&#8217;s harvest was one thousand million souls.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. And God (An&#8217;on) reigned his time, and his Lords under him, and they were also<br \/>\ndelivered by Aph, but by proxy, and the harvest of Jehovih was eight hundred million<br \/>\nsouls.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. And his successor, God of Hored and atmospherea, and his Lords, fulfilled their dan,<br \/>\nand they and their harvests were delivered by the proxy of Aph also; and the number of<br \/>\nsouls delivered was six hundred million. And Jehovih commanded Aph to commit<br \/>\natmospherea and the earth to the successors of Ra&#8217;zan of Garowista, in Ems of the<br \/>\netherean phalanx of eighty Ar&#8217;doth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. And the next harvest of God and his Lords was two hundred million souls. After<br \/>\nthat the earth passed into the a&#8217;ji of Urk&#8217;stand for eight hundred years, and the light of<br \/>\nthe upper heaven was lost to earth and atmospherea; so there was no harvest for the<br \/>\netherean realms. And because of the darkness in atmospherea it began to fall in hada;<br \/>\nand the seven entities of tetracts took root in Hored, and overspread the dominions<br \/>\nof God and his Lords. And many in heaven rose up, and, proclaiming themselves<br \/>\nGods or Lords, obtained followers, some to the extent of three millions of souls.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. And these false Gods made slaves of their followers, exacting service, and in lieu<br \/>\ngiving pitiful homes and regimen; and by the labor of their slaves embellishing their<br \/>\nmansions and cities in hada.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. Jehovih had said of old: Before mortals I keep death forever present that they may not<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">forget the change from corporeal to spirit life; otherwise they would dispute it possible in<br \/>\nMy hands for these things to be. But My resurrections in heaven are far apart, and the<br \/>\ninhabitants thereof lose faith in those above them. Through faith is all power and glory<br \/>\nattained; therefore have I exacted that angels cultivate faith in the next resurrection.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. But during the last thousand years in atmospherea, there being no resurrections to<br \/>\netherea, many fell into disbelief of the emancipated heavens, and so sat about, building up<br \/>\nheavenly kingdoms on their own account, and for their own glory.
