Book of Thor, Son of Jehovih Chapter 3, Chapter 4<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Chapter 3<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Thor said: To induce men and angels to find the way of resurrection, this is the greatest
\nof all teaching. Man saith: O God, raise up thy servant!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. And the Lord saith: Hold up thy hands and I will lift thee up. But man will not. Man
\nsaith: Send wise and holy angels to me, O Lord, to guide me in righteousness and good
\nworks!<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>3. And the Lord saith: As thou asketh of God, even so do thou to thy fellows. But man
\nwill not.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. As it is with man on earth, even so do we find it in hada.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. To induce angels to develop themselves, by taking hold with their own hands, and
\nby the exercise of their own talents, this is the work of Lords and Gods. To rule
\nover them without their knowing it, so as to lead them in the right way, this is wisdom.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. The first passion of man is to eat; the second, the sexual desire; the third, to make
\nothers serve him. And if he accomplish the latter, then is he indeed the prince of evil. For
\nhe then holdeth dominion to the hurt of others.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. So, also, as man buildeth these habitations in his soul on earth, how vain his effort
\nfor happiness in heaven! To teach him to undo all his past, and to make full
\nrestitution unto others, this is the work of Gods and Lords over spirits of darkness.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Thor established two thousand educational colonies in atmospherea, besides
\ninnumerable places of manufacturing and building; teaching the angels of heaven how to
\nprovide habitations for those born of earth into spirit life.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. In three years of dawn Thor had prepared for etherean ascension four thousand million
\nBrides and Bridegrooms.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. Now all this while the angels of atmospherea had been taught much in regard to the
\nemancipated kingdoms in etherea; of the splendor and majesty and power of Gods and
\nGoddesses there abiding.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. Thor spake from the throne of God, before the Holy Council, saying: Send swift
\nmessengers to Betatis, Goddess of Terow, in etherea, greeting, and say unto her:
\nThus saith Thor, Jehovih’s Son, Orian Chief of Don’ga: Come thou to the heavens of the
\nearth; I have four thousand million Brides and Bridegrooms as Jehovih’s harvest. Provide
\nthou an airiata of great size and splendor, for its presence shall enchant my people.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. The swift messengers departed. And proper officers at once set about making ready to
\nreceive Betatis. Others were sent into other parts of atmospherea with fire-boats to bring
\natmosphereans to Gau, that they might behold the glory of the higher heavens as
\nmanifested in the descent and ascent of the airiata.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. All these things were accomplished; Betatis came in great splendor; and all the
\nkingdoms and sub-kingdoms of Gau were filled with the thousands of millions come to
\nwitness the ceremonies.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. This, then, was the size of Betatis’ airiata: Diameter, east and west and north and
\nsouth, two thousand miles to the borders of the photosphere, and nine thousand miles
\nhigh. The ship, within the photosphere, was one hundred miles east and west and north
\nand south, and was two hundred miles high. Of beams, the entire length, there were
\ntwelve millions four hundred thousand; and of uprights, two millions; but of the
\nshort beams and uprights, they were numerous accordingly. And there were a sufficient
\nnumber of chambers within the airiata for every soul to have one; and besides these,
\nthere were halls and temples within, also suitable for music and other entertainments.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

15. The colors, shades and tints, with mirrors, and with opaque ornaments, both movable
\nand fixed, were provided in all possible ways, for ornament and for service, the like of
\nwhich, for beauty, had never been surpassed in Don’ga. And when the whole airiata was
\ncompleted, it looked like an oval globe of light, with a frame-work, transparent and
\nopaque within, alternated so as to add beauty to every part. And it was fitted and equipped<\/span>
\nfor the third resurrection, having no storage places for atmosphere, or any thing in
\ncommon with the lower heavens.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

16. To add still further to its splendor, Betatis had her airiata ornamented with banners
\nand streamers illuminated, so that at a distance, when seen descending, the whole vessel
\nseemed like a sun surrounded on every side with movable stars and waving streams of
\nlight.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

17. Amongst her hosts were one million trumpeters and players on harps; and two million
\nsingers.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

18. In the midst of the forepart of the ship was the Holy Council chamber, with four
\nmillion members. Above the Council chamber was the chamber of worship; and at either
\nside were the halls for dancing and social reunion.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

19. When Betatis’ ship neared the atmospherean kingdom of God, millions of her hosts
\nstationed themselves on the galley-beams and stay-lines, adding a scene of life to the
\nethereal ship of surpassing beauty.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

20. With ballast had Betatis provided her ship, so that when she came within the earth’s
\nvortex she could stand where she desired whilst the earth and her heavens turned their
\naxial course, that both mortals and angels might witness the brilliancy and glory of the
\nworks of Don’ga’s chief Goddess.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

21. And thus Betatis stood in her ship of fire, just beyond the plateau of Gau, whilst the
\nearth and her heavens made one revolution.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

22. The next day she descended into Gau, where God and his Lords, under direction of
\nThor, Jehovih’s Son, had prepared their mighty audience.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

23. When the ship was made fast, the chief marshal of Gau and of Betatis’ hosts met and
\nconducted Betatis up in front of the throne of God.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

24. Thor said: In Jehovih’s name, welcome, Daughter of Light!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

25. Betatis said: Praise the Almighty! In love, am I come to answer thy prayer.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

26. Then spake God, saying: Welcome, O Goddess! Come and honor my throne!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

27. Then went Betatis forward in a flame of light, and was greeted after the manner
\nof Gods and Goddesses. After which she sat in the midst of the throne. And at once
\nthe ceremonies of initiation for the Brides and Bridegrooms were accomplished.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

28. Then came a day of recreation; and after that, Betatis and her hosts, together with the
\nfour thousand million Brides and Bridegrooms, entered her airiata and departed upward
\nfor the etherean heavens.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Chapter 4<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

1. In the fourth year of dawn under Thor, Son of Jehovih, he received from the Holy
\nCouncil in Buru, of Don’ga, in etherea, a dispensation from the Orian Chiefs, decreeing to
\nthe earth one hundred years’ travail in vocent.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Thor called up Waak, God of Rhines, and said unto him: A sore travail hath Jehovih
\nput upon these heavens. Go thou to Hey’loo and command him to provide an avalanza
\nsufficient to deliver twenty thousand atmosphereans to the a’ji’an forests of Gonaya.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. For the inhabitants of these heavens are too dark to endure the vocent of a
\nhundred years, and would be precipitated to the earth and engage in fetalism.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Waak, God of Rhines, knowing the condition of the atmosphereans, proceeded at once<\/span>
\nto Hey’loo, informing him of the decrees of the higher heavens, and of the command of
\nThor, Son of Jehovih.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Thor then sent word to his Lords and marshals, informing them also of his command,
\nand, further, commanding them to bring from all parts of earth and heaven all the lowest
\ngrades of angels, to be concentrated in Gau, to which place the avalanza was to come for
\nthem.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Thor appointed Ti’See’inij, Goddess of Ares, to superintend the reception of the angels,
\nand to arrange them for entrance into the avalanza; and he gave into her command, to
\nassist her, five hundred thousand marshals and captains, and one million es’enaurs. And
\nthese she apportioned to their respective duties and places.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. To accomplish all this, Thor allotted seventy-seven days (earth’s time). And so wisely
\nwere carried out all the proceedings that, on the seventy-seventh day, the avalanza was on
\nhand, and all the angels ready to enter therein.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Accordingly, these things were accomplished; the twenty thousand million angels were
\ncarried away on the avalanza, which was walled around on every side with pillars of fire,
\nso that not one spirit could escape, even were he chaotic or imbecile. And Waak and
\nHay’loo had entire charge of the migration; and they proceeded upward and outward from
\nthe earth, seven diameters of the earth’s vortex, which brought them into the forests of
\nGonaya, where they landed them.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Ti’See’inij, Goddes of Ares, had charge of the twenty thousand millions, and she had
\npreviously sent thither a sufficient force of angels, wise and strong, to provide for the
\nreception.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. So that, when the avalanza landed, all things were in readiness; and the angels were
\napportioned to different sections of the Gonaya forests, according to their development.
\nAnd proper officers and teachers were provided unto them.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. By Ti’See’inij were these things done. And she established a throne of a’ji, and
\nprovided a temple of Council, and all such things as are required in the government of a
\nnew colony. And, to reign after the expiration of dawn, she provided a God in Gonaya.
\nShe promoted to this one Hazedeka, a surveyor in Thalasia, the third heaven of Gau; and
\nshe gave him the title, G<\/span>OD OF <\/span>G<\/span>ONAYA, FOR FOUR HUNDRED YEARS<\/span>.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. Now, in reference to founding an a’ji’an habitation in etherea, this account is rendered
\nunto mortals and angels of the lower heaven: Amidst the ethe’ic waves, the ethereans
\ngather up the atomic elements floating therein, and, giving them axic motion, propelling
\nthem forth, aggregating the while, till, from a mite, it groweth as large as the whole earth,
\nbut is habitable within and without by the spirits of the dead, the angels.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. Jehovih said: In likeness of the solid earth, and stars, and moon, that float in the
\nunseen firmament, so made I atomic parts to all things, and made them to float in ethe. As
\nthe earth is to the air and the ether above, so is an atom of corpor to the ethe’ic solution.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. Jehovih said: Think not, O man, there is but one member in My Person, and
\nthat different conditions and states of that one comprise My universe. The foolish man
\nhath said, the blood is the flesh and bones, and that the flesh and bones are but a state of
\nblood; but he seeth not that I make not flesh out of blood, but out of that that the blood
\ncarrieth. And in like manner carry I the corpor of My Person in the ethe of My Being.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

15. Now, as to Thor, Son of Jehovih, after the departure of the avalanza, he provided a
\nnew God unto the earth and her heavens, and crowned him, and bestowed upon him the<\/span>
\ntriangle which had been handed down since the inhabitation of the earth by man.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

16. As for the remaining time of dawn, Thor traveled around about the earth and her
\nheavens, making records thereof, to be carried with him in Buru in the time of his ascent.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

17. In consequence of the depletion occasioned by the resurrection of the twenty thousand
\nmillions to Gonaya, God and his Lords were greatly relieved of their burdens in Gau and
\non the earth.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
