Book of Apollo, Son of Jehovih, Chapter 10, Chapter 11<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Chapter 10<\/span><\/p>\n

1. So Apollo visited all the divisions of the earth, and the islands in the ocean; and his
\ntraveling attendants, companions and officers made a record of all things they saw,
\nespecially those relating to the corporeans; their manners, sizes, color, habits, education
\nand procreative capacities; and the records were taken with them, to be finally carried to
\netherea in the coming ascent.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. And Apollo and his companions then visited atmospherea, making like observations of
\nthe people in the first and second resurrections, recording the number and kind of
\nnurseries, hospitals, factories, schools and colleges, together with the asaphs, teachers and
\nphysicians, nurses, and so on. And this record was also prepared so as to form a brief
\nhistory of the earth’s heaven.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. On the twenty-eighth day, Apollo and his hosts returned to Gau, the place of the
\nthrone of God in the lower heaven. In the meantime, the word of God commanding the
\nassembly for the ascent of two thousand million of Jehovih’s Brides and Bridegrooms,
\nhad aroused the people of the lower heaven beyond measure; millions of them never
\nhaving witnessed an ascent, nor, in fact, had seen an etherean adavaysit, a ship of fire.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. On the twenty-ninth day, in the evening, a light was seen high up in the firmament, and
\nto the north-west, brilliant, like a star of the first magnitude. Presently, it grew larger and
\nbrighter, and shot across toward the south-west firmament, and then began to ascend
\ntoward the earth, growing larger and brighter as it came.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. The people of the lower heaven knew it was the adavaysit of the third resurrection, and
\nthey rejoiced before Jehovih, singing and praying. And now the marshals and proper
\npersons for the purpose, commenced to form the groups of Brides and Bridegrooms of
\nJehovih. And the groups were arrayed in stars, crescents, squares and circles and ovals,
\nbeing classified according to their rates in these figures; and the groups had banners, and
\nsignals of colored lights, according to their rank in love or intelligence, or good works, or
\nother characteristic virtues.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. And these groups were arranged into combinations, every combination representing
\nthe work done by a sub-Lord or sub-God. And these combinations were again formed
\ninto four divisions, representing the four great divisions of the earth, and the four
\nLords, Jehovih’s Sons. So that when the whole two thousand millions of spirits
\nwere in due form, they characterized Harmony, Symmetry and Music, being the symbol<\/span>
\nof Apollo, Son of Jehovih, God of three etherean worlds, brevet Orian Chief.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. At midnight, the sea of fire, the adavaysit, reached Chinvat, the border of the earth’s
\nvortex, just beyond the orbit of the moon, and in size twice the moon’s diameter. Here the
\nship halted for four hours, and then again began to descend, and rapidly, fearful to behold,
\nbecoming more scarlet within the vortex, but growing larger and definite in figure.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. And, lo and behold, when the adavaysit drew near, it was in the form and figure of the
\ngroups of Brides and Bridegrooms of Jehovih. It had fifty thousand curtains, and one
\nhundred thousand banners, and the hosts within the ship, seven millions of souls, bore
\neach a streamer of phosphorescent light, of all colors, shades and tints, and arrayed in
\nsymbols of the name, Apollo.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Unlike all other etherean ships of fire that had as yet visited the earth’s heavens, it was
\nprovided with openings in the bottom, five hundred thousand in number, which were the
\nplaces of entrance and exit. And the openings were studded with crystals of ceaseless fire,
\nof all conceivable colors, shades and tints, and sizes and figures, curves, circles, angles,
\ncrescents, and so on. And up within the openings, were the crystal and opaque chambers,
\nprovided for the heirs of the third resurrection. And yet, within these chambers, were the
\nreports of the guardian angels, of the lives and good work heretofore done by every man
\nand woman of all the two thousand million who were to ascend to Jehovih’s higher
\nheavens. But in all the records there was not recorded one evil thing, or dark deed, or
\nselfish thought; for of these things the ascended hosts had long since purged themselves,
\ntill they were gems of the pure light of the Father of all. High up within the ship were the
\nbeams and net-work of timber and ropes and arches; and around about the whole ship was
\nthe photosphere of its power, so that the whole adavaysit was like a crystal ship within a
\nglobe of phosphorescent light; and yet, in fact, the ship was the true light, and the angels
\nthe light of that light, whilst the photosphere was really the shell of darkness made
\nreflective.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. This, then, was the size of the adavaysit; two thousand miles, east and west, and north
\nand south, diameters; and seven thousand miles high. And the ship within it was one
\nhundred miles, east and west, and north and south, diameters; and two hundred miles
\nhigh.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. As the earth is opaque, with a transparent vortex around it, so not so, but opposite, is
\nthe structure of an etherean adavaysit, being light and habitable within as well as without,
\nlike the etherean worlds in the firmament. As Jehovih maketh worlds, and sendeth them
\nforth in the places of His firmament, so, in imitation of Him, His etherean Gods and
\nGoddesses make adavaysits to traverse space from star to star, and from one etherean
\nregion to another. Great in wisdom and power are Jehovih’s etherean Gods and
\nGoddesses! Yet they, too, were once but men and women, with corporeal bodies.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. Jehovih said: I have given power to spirits of the newly dead to clothe themselves
\nfrom the atmosphere with corporeal semblances of flesh and blood; and, to My exalted
\natmospherean angels, I have given power to clothe themselves from ethe in forms of light.
\nBut, to My exalted etherean angels, I have given power to clothe their hosts with ships of
\nfire, and otevans, and adavaysits.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>Chapter 11<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Cventi, marshalless for the hosts of Apollo, with ten thousand marshals and fifty
\nthousand respondents of ceremonies, made ready to receive the hosts of the adavaysits,
\ncommanded by Cim’iad, Goddess of Du’e’ghi, in etherea, Goddess of Noad and Rak, in
\nji’ya, thirty-eight, well known to Apollo, and to Phaeja, God of Norse, long residents of
\nUm, in etherea.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Cim’iad was a small woman, dark, and of deep love, most jovial of Goddesses;
\nand had long looked forward with joy to her pleasure of bringing so large a ship to
\ndeliver two thousand million of Jehovih’s Brides and Bridegrooms into etherean
\nworlds. And so, when the adavaysit was about to land in Gau, Cim’iad looked out
\nfrom the clusters of central stars, the ornaments of the throne within the ship, to see
\nthe hosts who were assembled beneath, and joyously clapped her hands with
\ndelight, whereupon she was saluted by Apollo and Phaeja, and by God and his Lords.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Presently, the mighty vessel landed and anchored fast; and the ship of Apollo was
\nmoved up aside and made fast to the adavaysit. Meantime, Cim’iad came forth out of the
\nship, and was received in the arms of Cventi, marshalless of Apollo, and then proceeded
\nto the throne of God.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. All the while, the musicians had been playing and singing; and the music of the lower
\nheaven was thus united with the music of the upper heaven.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. God said: Welcome, O Daughter of Jehovih! Come thou and honor my throne, in His
\nname!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Cim’iad said: By the grace and love of Jehovih, am I come, O God! And to thee, O
\nApollo, most wonderful of earth-born Gods, how can I express my boundless love! And
\nto thee, O Phaeja, long-enduring Son of Jehovih, my soul is as a twin, for the glory of our
\nEverlasting Creator!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Behold, I am come in Jehovih’s name to wed these two thousand million Brides and
\nBridegrooms to Jehovih!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Phaeja said: Thy will and Jehovih’s be done! And now they shook hands, as is the
\ncustom of Gods and Goddesses, and Cim’iad went and sat on the throne, saluting all the
\nassemblage by making the sign of Jehovih’s name with her right hand, which was
\nanswered by three thousand million spirits. And now the musicians played and sang the
\n<\/span>STARS OF JEHOVIH<\/span>! Meanwhile, the All Light began to descend thick and fast on Cim’iad’s
\nhead, so brilliant that many could not look thereon.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. And Jehovih spake through Cim’iad, saying: I blow My breath upon a corporeal world,
\nand man springeth forth into life, the highest of My created lights. In the womb of Mi, I
\nfashion his spirit. When he is shapely and white, I deliver him. I open the heaven of suns,
\nand warm his soul. Brighter than diamonds he cometh forth; male and female come they;
\nas stars for My everlasting worlds. Dressed as Brides and Bridegrooms for My chambers
\nof Light and Love. In My arms shall they be blessed forever; in My mansions rejoice
\nforever.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. The respondents said (being led by the etherean hosts): I am thy bride (or
\nbridegroom), O Jehovih! My soul findeth love in Thee only, forever!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. Thou, my Father, O Jehovih! I come to Thee to abide forever!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. From Mi, my mother, the earth, who conceived me, I rise me up and go, forever.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>13. All praise to Thee, O Jehovih! And to thee, O God of earth and heaven! And to ye, O
\nLords of the earth, praise forever!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. Thy Lords, O Jehovih, raised me up. How can I render them joy for my stubbornness
\nof heart! And Thy God, for my second resurrection.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

15. How hast Thou made us brothers and sisters, O Jehovih! And given to me a higher
\nworld to abide in, forever!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

16. O, Joy of my soul! To Thee am I beholden, O Father, Everlasting Creator!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

17. Jehovih said: Behold Me, O Brides and Bridegrooms! I am the All that is Within All,
\nand Over All. Members of My body are all things under the sun, seen and unseen,
\nboundless, forever! I give them to you for your inheritance, forever!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

18. Response: Who can give like unto Thee, O Jehovih! Not only gavest Thou myself, but
\nsent Thy Gods and Lords to me to teach me how to live to enjoy Thy Fullness, forever!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

19. I will rise to Thy immortal kingdoms, and learn the mysteries of Thy glory and
\nwisdom, O Jehovih! And when I am strong, I will go forth to them who are beneath me,
\nand raise them up, to rejoice, forever!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

20. Jehovih said: Laborers with Me; helpmates and companions, forever! With ye I wed,
\nfrom everlasting to everlasting.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

21. Response: With Thee we wed, helpmates, forever! In the glory of Thy worlds, without
\nend!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

22. Jehovih said: Mine are All Harmony; All Symmetry; All Love; and will endure
\nforever!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

23. Response: When I was in darkness, I fed on hate, and anger, and war, and lust. But
\nThou hast taught me harmony, and symmetry, and love, and I shall indulge in them
\nforever!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

24. Jehovih said: Receive ye, My mantles and My crowns, O My beloved! The darkness
\nis come and gone; the rain is dried up, and My flowers are blooming for you, My
\nbeloved!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

25. Response: Glory be to Thee, My Creator and Preserver! All hail to Thy Wondrous
\nWorks, O Jehovih! In all my giving I cannot attain to Thee, forever! Thy Crown shall
\nshine in my behavior, world without end! Amen! Amen! Amen!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

26. Jehovih, Thou art mine, forever! Amen!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

27. I am Thine, O Jehovih, forever! Amen! Amen!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
