The Voice of the Creator was with Ah&#8217;oan from the time of his landing in these lower<br \/>\nheavens. And Ah&#8217;oan chose from his hosts a Council of ten thousand, and they sat in a<br \/>\nliving altar; and the Voice directed him to build a capital and a throne, and call the<br \/>\nplateau thereof Sang&#8217;hi; the which he did.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. And when it was completed, Jehovih said to Ah&#8217;oan: Thou art My Lord and My God;<br \/>\nthe labor of thy hand shall endure on the earth and in heaven. Whatsoever thou buildest, I<br \/>\nwill build, for thou art of My holy place. Make thyself an otevan, and go around about in<br \/>\nthy dominions, and inspect all things, making a record of the same, which shall be<br \/>\ndeposited in the libraries of these heavens, that angels and mortals, in after ages, may read<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">them.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. Ah&#8217;oan made an otevan, and traveled as commanded, making a record, and preparing<br \/>\nalso a place of records, in Sang&#8217;hi, where these things were deposited; of which these<br \/>\nwords are a brief transcript. That is:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. Heaven was without order or organization, save one kingdom, ruled over by Oibe, who<br \/>\nfalsely styled himself Thor, the only begotten Son of Jehovih.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. The spirits of these heavens are mostly of the first resurrection; nevertheless, there are<br \/>\nmillions of them who believe they are not dead; and for the greater part, these are in<br \/>\nchaos, still lingering on battle-fields or in the places where they were cut off from the<br \/>\nearth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. In many places there are spirits who set up colonies, trying to provide themselves with<br \/>\nhomes and clothing, and to found heavenly abodes; but they are forever overrun and<br \/>\npillaged by drujas.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. With and around about the people of Jaffeth there are more than two thousand million<br \/>\nangels who know not how to get away from the earth. Of these, millions of them are<br \/>\nfetals, making themselves as twin spirits to mortals. These spirits oft show themselves to<br \/>\nmortals, but are believed to be doubles; but the spirits thus bound know not themselves<br \/>\nwho they are, or whence they came; neither can they go away from the mortals to whom<br \/>\nthey are bound, and on whom they live.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. As for the mortals of Jaffeth, they have cities of warriors, huge and fierce. The earth of<br \/>\nthis region hath been in a&#8217;ji thirteen hundred years.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. After Ah&#8217;oan had thus discovered the condition of things, he returned to Sang&#8217;hi, and<br \/>\nthey sat in Council, and Jehovih said to Ah&#8217;oan: Forty Lords shalt thou appoint to dwell<br \/>\non the earth; and to each Lord thou shalt give ten thousand assistants. And these Lords<br \/>\nshall go down to the earth, and drive away the drujas, and take possession of the kings&#8217;<br \/>\nand queens&#8217;palaces, and of the temples of the stars; and they shall obtain control over the<br \/>\ncaptains and generals of armies, and blind their judgment, and lead them astray, so that<br \/>\nthey will be powerless in war and destruction.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. And when Samati, God of Zarathustra, traveleth in Jaffeth, thy Lords shall go with<br \/>\nhim, with a sufficient number of angels to accomplish successfully all that Zarathustra<br \/>\nprofesseth in My name. And thy Lords shall shield Zarathustra around about, that no<br \/>\nharm come to him; and when enemies pursue him, thy Lords shall lead them astray or<br \/>\ndetain them till such time as will enable Zarathustra to escape. For in this dawn shall My<br \/>\nword be established on the earth, to perish not forever.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. And when thou hast thus established thy Lords, thou shalt colonize thy heavens,<br \/>\ngiving them seventy colonies; but Sang&#8217;hi shall be the central kingdom. Thou shalt choose<br \/>\nfrom amongst the atmosphereans one who shall be thy assistant God, who shall sit on thy<br \/>\nthrone during thy absence.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. And thou, and thy Holy Council, shall instruct thy assistant God in such manner that,<br \/>\nwhen this dawn is ended, he shall become God, in My name, of Sang&#8217;hi, for the next<br \/>\nsucceeding two hundred years.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. Ah&#8217;oan informed the Council of the words of Jehovih. And Ah&#8217;oan appointed the forty<br \/>\nLords, as commanded; also appointing an assistant.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">14. These, then, were the Lords appointed, to wit: First, to have control over the W<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ORD OF<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">G<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">OD <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">on earth: The; Seung-bin, Go-ma-git, Ben-hong, She-ang, Bog-wi, Ah-tdong,<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">Mwing-wi, Ah-tchook, Gonk-boy, Yuk-hoh and Ahwotch.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">15. Second, to have control over the palaces of kings and queens, and temples: Mina,<br \/>\nAhchaung, Ahyot, Yowgong, Ohonto, Yongwe and Ahma.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">16. Third, to have control over armies and kingdoms: Kear-ak-a, Geeouh-young, Bi,<br \/>\nGwan-gouk, Gee-ooh-young, Sam-sin and Deth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">17. Fourth, to have control over sea-farers: Shopgee, Agan-ha, Rax and Lo.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">18. Fifth, to have control over mothers and births: Songheng, Someconc, Yahiti, Ogneka-was and Hoah&#8217;ava.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">19. Sixth, to have control over marriages: First, the loo&#8217;is in general, and then: Ahsam,<br \/>\nOanis, Yotsam, Ivitgom and Sap-sang.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">20. So Ah&#8217;oan sent his Lords to their several places, with their assistants. And after that<br \/>\nhe began the colonization of the angels in his heavens. And in one year he had<br \/>\nraised up from Jaffeth more than a thousand million, and prepared them with houses,<br \/>\nhospitals, nurseries and factories, and all such things and places as are required in hada.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">21. In the second year he delivered another thousand million, more than half of whom had<br \/>\nto be taken away from the earth by force. And these he also housed and provided with<br \/>\nteachers and overseers in like manner.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">22. So by the time Samati, God of Zarathustra, was prepared to travel in Jaffeth, visiting<br \/>\nthe kings and queens, the Lords of Ah&#8217;oan had so far banished the drujas that they were<br \/>\npowerless to prevent the decrees of the Father&#8217;s word. And when Zarathustra went into<br \/>\nJaffeth, behold, the Lords of heaven were with him, and God of the Word was with him,<br \/>\nand the kings and queens of earth were powerless before him.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">23. And when Zarathustra went to a city, and, being inspired by God, said: Fall down, ye<br \/>\nwalls! behold, the angels of heaven rent the walls, and they fell. And when Zarathustra<br \/>\nsaid: Come forth, ye spirits of the dead! behold, the Lords seized the drujas and held them<br \/>\nup so that mortals could see them. And when Zarathustra said: O Ormazd, give Thy<br \/>\nchildren food! behold, the angels had previously provided fish and fruit, which they let<br \/>\nfall upon the people, the time and place being previously arranged betwixt them and God<br \/>\nof the Word!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">24. Thus did Ah&#8217;oan&#8217;s dominions extend down to mortals; thus became the word of<br \/>\nZarathustra Jehovih&#8217;s Word to mortals.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">25. And now Fragapatti, Chief over all, was coming to inspect the labors of his Lord God,<br \/>\nAh&#8217;oan, and of Samati. Ah&#8217;oan had sent commands to his Lords, and to their assistants, to<br \/>\nreturn to Sang&#8217;hi and remain three days in recreation. And Ah&#8217;oan commanded the<br \/>\ncaptains of the colonies of heaven to come, and to bring with them as many of their pupils<br \/>\nand subjects as possible.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">26. And it came to pass that when Fragapatti&#8217;s avalanza came to Sang&#8217;hi, there were<br \/>\nassembled upward of two thousand million souls to witness the pageantry and<br \/>\nproceedings. Ah&#8217;oan had provided the means and facilities that these things should be<br \/>\nmagnificently carried out.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Chapter 36<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">1. Never in these heavens had there been such pageantry and display as when Fragapatti&#8217;s<br \/>\navalanza entered Sang&#8217;hi; never so many musicians, two millions, distributed to lend so<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">great an effect to a procession.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. Of this matter, Ah&#8217;oan said: By the pageantry and the music were my hosts of<br \/>\ndelivered drujas made to realize the glory of the upper heavens; by the glory of those<br \/>\nthree days&#8217;recreation did I shut out the attractions of the lower world. My people<br \/>\nwere entranced with delight; they were born for the first time into the kingdom of heaven!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. Ah&#8217;oan said: But the greatest glory of all was when Fragapatti honored the throne of<br \/>\nSang&#8217;hi. Jehovih cast a sun upon the place; and the Voice spake from the Light, so that all<br \/>\nthe multitude saw the Light and heard the words of the Father! And when Fragapatti rose<br \/>\nup and stood in the midst of the throne, the Light was so great that millions of the people<br \/>\nfell down because of its glory.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. The lights were lowered to suit the newly born in heaven, and the people of etherea<br \/>\nmingled with the atmosphereans, diverting, explaining and inspiring them with the<br \/>\nmagnitude and glory of the higher heavens.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. After the recreation, and when the multitude were in order, Fragapatti spake from<br \/>\nJehovih&#8217;s throne, first, to Es&#8217;pacia, Daughter of Jehovih, assistant Goddess to Ah&#8217;oan, who<br \/>\nwas to succeed him after dawn. To her he said: Es&#8217;pacia, Daughter of Jehovih, hear thou<br \/>\nmy words; I am one with the Father, and in His name salute thee. Behold, from this time<br \/>\nforth the Father&#8217;s Word shall dwell with mortals.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. It shall become anchored to the earth, never to depart; though it may be mutilated and<br \/>\nperverted, yet His hand is over it, and it shall not fail. As a mother delighteth in the first<br \/>\nspoken words of her child, so shall we all take delight that the Father&#8217;s word hath become<br \/>\nengrafted on the earth. Before this time, the Word was with the I&#8217;hin tribe, but locked up<br \/>\nin secret. It could not be maintained on the earth, but by locking it up in secret, with a<br \/>\npeople prepared as seed for delivering all the races of men. But now the Word is<br \/>\ndelivered openly to mortals.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. If the spirits of the lower heavens know not the Father&#8217;s Word, they can be hereafter<br \/>\ntaken down to the earth and there taught His commandments. Prior to this time, the<br \/>\nangels of these lower heavens had no Word at anchorage; they constantly fell in darkness,<br \/>\nand pulled mortals down with them. Behold, the Word is now engraved, through our<br \/>\nSons, Samati and Zarathustra; it cannot be lost.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. Thou hast been exalted first Goddess of these heavens, and Lordess of this division<br \/>\nof the earth, to maintain the light of this dawn, to angels and mortals. Thou shalt first<br \/>\nof all labor to protect the Word to mortals; to all the priests and cities of Zarathustra<br \/>\nthou shalt appoint the wisest of thy angel hosts, to protect them and to maintain the Word.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. But to such mortals as deny the Word, and to such as seek to destroy the Word, thou<br \/>\nshalt lend no assistance, but leave them either without angels, or with only such as will<br \/>\nlead them into failure. Maintain thou thy hosts in the temples of worship, where they<br \/>\nworship the Great Spirit.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. Throughout Jaffeth thou shalt inspire mortals to hang the wheel of the altar in country<br \/>\nplaces, by the roadsides. And when mortals pass the places, they shall turn the wheel, in<br \/>\nremembrance of the Creator. For which reason thou shalt station at each and every one of<br \/>\nthese altars angel sentinels, who shall have messengers to thy throne. And when a mortal<br \/>\npasseth the wheel and turneth it, and is afflicted with sickness, thou shalt send angels to<br \/>\nhim to heal him. But if he turn not the wheel in remembrance of the Father, and yet be<br \/>\nafflicted with sickness, thy sentinel shall not send to thee, nor shalt thou send angels to<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">heal him. Nevertheless, the wheel and the altar shall cause men to think; and if, after a<br \/>\ndisbeliever hath passed the wheel and not turned it, and he be afflicted with sickness, and<br \/>\nhe repent and go back and turn the wheel, then shalt thou send to him in haste and heal<br \/>\nhim, that he may proclaim abroad what the Creator hath done for him.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. For as much as thou carriest out these decrees of All Light, so shalt thou remain<br \/>\nunited with my heavens above, which are united with those above, which are united with<br \/>\nthe Creator. And wherein thou shalt lack in power or wisdom, ask thou the Father, and I<br \/>\nwill answer thee in His name.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. Fragapatti then spake to the Council, which was after the manner of his words in<br \/>\nAstoreth. After that he walked down to the foot of the throne, where the marshals had<br \/>\nprovided a place for the people to pass before him, even as they had done in Astoreth.<br \/>\nAccordingly, when the musicians began singing and playing, the people marched before<br \/>\nhim, and by the waving of his hands, he created drapery, and flowers, and wreaths, and<br \/>\ngave to all the people something, even though there passed before him two thousand<br \/>\nmillion angels!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1151\" src=\"http:\/\/religionoflight.org\/ns\/lightofgod\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/03\/Plate-20-300x267.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/religionoflight.org\/ns\/lightofgod\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/03\/Plate-20-300x267.jpg 300w, https:\/\/religionoflight.org\/ns\/lightofgod\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/03\/Plate-20-304x270.jpg 304w, https:\/\/religionoflight.org\/ns\/lightofgod\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/03\/Plate-20.jpg 484w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">Plate 20.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">THE EARTH IN THE CROSS-ROADS OF HORUB.<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">Jehovih said: In Horub I delivered My first Holy Book to mortals, through<br \/>\nMy Son, Zarathustra.
