The close of dawn was near at hand. Fragapatti returned to Mouru, the heavenly<br \/>\nkingdom of Haraiti, in atmospherea, richly stored with a knowledge of the earth and her<br \/>\nheavens. The capital was illuminated, and the decorum of the higher heavens prevailed.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. Already were there assembled more than four thousand million angels prepared for the<br \/>\nthird resurrection. Fragapatti sent word to his Lord Gods, and to his Lords and Gods, and<br \/>\nto Samati, God in inherent right up to the end of dawn. And he notified all of them of the<br \/>\nday and hour when he should accomplish the resurrection.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. And then Fragapatti called his swift messengers, whose labor is with the thrones of<br \/>\nJehovih in etherea. He said: Behold, the dawn of dan is near the close. The Brides and<br \/>\nBridegrooms of Jehovih will number ten thousand million souls. Two divisions will I<br \/>\nmake of grades fifty-five and seventy, for the forests and plains of Goomatchala. This ye<br \/>\nshall communicate to Hoseis, Goddess of Alawatcha, on the road of Affolkistan, saluting<br \/>\nin Jehovih&#8217;s name, and of His Son, Fragapatti, Chief.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. The swift messengers saluted, and then departed. Next he called the messengers for the<br \/>\nkingdoms below, and of these messengers there were twenty thousand, divided into<br \/>\ntwelve groups, and they had been previously apportioned to certain divisions of heaven<br \/>\nand earth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. To them Fragapatti said: To the Lord God of each division, and to the Lords and<br \/>\nGods, and through them to the officers under them, greeting, in the name of Jehovih!<br \/>\nAppoint and anoint the successors in Jehovih&#8217;s name; and when your kingdom is in<br \/>\norder, appear ye at the throne of Mouru, for the resurrection of my hosts is near at<br \/>\nhand. Provide ye ships and such vessels as are suitable, and bring, as visitors, from<br \/>\nyour kingdoms and most holy places, as many atmosphereans as desire to come, that<br \/>\nthey may witness the ceremonies and the ascent of Jehovih&#8217;s Sons and Daughters.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. And these commandments were carried unto all the divisions of the corporeal earth and<br \/>\nher heavens. Fragapatti then said unto Athrava: Thou shalt receive the Brides and<br \/>\nBridegrooms. As for myself, I will go down to the earth and receive God and Zarathustra,<br \/>\nand they shall be borne in mine own ship even unto this place, and thence to etherea.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. In all places on earth and in heaven the spirit inhabitants were stirred to the utmost. In<br \/>\nHaraiti there were already more than four thousand colonies, and every one had thousands<br \/>\nand thousands eligible to the third resurrection, who would depart in the coming<br \/>\nascension. Of these there were persons of every occupation, and they were perfect in their<br \/>\norder, belonging to groups and series of groups. And now the captains and generals were<br \/>\nre-organizing them into phalanxes; and the Gods again organizing the phalanxes into<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">kingdoms.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. Zeredho sent her contributions to Haraiti, four hundred million souls. The Lord Gods<br \/>\nwere making their groups in their own several divisions, to be further organized after<br \/>\narriving at Mouru, the place whence the final ascension would take place. Some of these<br \/>\nhad a thousand millions of their own resurrection, including whom they had previously<br \/>\nsent to Haraiti.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. Fragapatti sent special messengers to God, Samati, to learn the day appointed for<br \/>\nZarathustra&#8217;s death; and he further allotted to Zarathustra three days in hada, in which to<br \/>\npreach to mortals by the inspiration of God, and appointed the fourth day thereafter as the<br \/>\ntime of his ascension from the earth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. And now, when all these matters had been put in shape, Fragapatti ordered the<br \/>\nassembling of the sacred circle of the Holy Council, Sons and Daughters of the Most<br \/>\nHigh. The lights were raised, and only Gods and Goddesses could remain in sight of, or<br \/>\nnear the throne of Jehovih. Fragapatti commanded Hoab to stand in the midst of the<br \/>\ncircle, facing the judgment seat.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. Fragapatti said: Hear the words of thy Creator, O Hoab. I called thee up out of the<br \/>\nground, and with Mine Own spirit quickened I thee into life. From thy youth up I have<br \/>\nfollowed thee day by day. I have called out to thee from My holy hill; with a woman&#8217;s<br \/>\ntenderness came I after thee. When thou didst try to run away from me, I followed after.<br \/>\nYea, I called My Son, high raised in My everlasting kingdoms, and I said unto him: O My<br \/>\nSon, run thou quickly, for Hoab, My well-beloved, runneth away from Me. Go thou and<br \/>\nbring him; for he is my Chosen.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. He shall be My God of the red star; her heavens shall bow down before him. I will<br \/>\nraise him up and anoint him with My holy fire; his countenance shall shine like a sun in<br \/>\nMy firmament.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. And Fragapatti, My Son, overtook thee in thy flight; with great cunning he captured<br \/>\nthee unto My labors. And thou hast raised up thy voice and glorified Me; thine arms have<br \/>\nbeen bared to the harvest; thy fruit is a song of glory.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">14. Have I not given thee experience in all things? Even to the precipice of hell made I<br \/>\nthee to walk and fall not. The darkness of everlasting death I made to encompass thee; in<br \/>\nthe hour of thy despair I came to thee and raised thee up.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">15. Have I not great profit in thee, My Son? My countless millions cry out in all places;<br \/>\nthey behold Me not; they know not of Me and My heavenly places. Like a troubled sea<br \/>\nthat knoweth no rest, the voices of mortals and angels forever cry out: There is no light!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">16. Wherefore, then, was I not wise in thee, O Hoab? I made thee of strong limb, and with<br \/>\narms that reach far; thy judgment I fashioned for the great multitudes.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">17. I say to the bird, the young bird with feathers: Fly! And it goeth away. I say to man:<br \/>\nGo forth, in My name! But he looketh around. Again I say to him: Go forth! But<br \/>\nhe turneth to his neighbor for his opinion. Again I speak, calling: Come to Me!<br \/>\nBut he standeth wondering. Again I say: Come! But he saith: By and by. Again I say:<br \/>\nCome! He replieth: I have not all light! Again I call, and he saith: Alas, there is nothing!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">18. And he goeth down in darkness; he curseth Me and accuseth Me of errors! He<br \/>\npreacheth My shortness, but in his words cutteth himself off from Me. In the foulsmelling place of his darkness, My holy angels cannot come; he burroweth himself in stubbornness that is blind and deaf.<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">19. But I blow My breath upon the earth and the stars; I drive them into new roads in the<br \/>\nfirmament of heaven. Into the dwelling-places of My high Gods I drive them as chaff<br \/>\nbefore the wind. And when the light of My heavens hath cleared away the darkness, I<br \/>\nsend My Gods with great power.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">20. To this end have I raised thee up, O Hoab. My shield is upon thee; thou shalt wear the<br \/>\ntriangle of the red star; two hundred years shalt thou hold dominion over the earth and her<br \/>\nheavens. In My name speak, O Hoab!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">21. Then spake Hoab, saying: Thy Voice is upon me, O Father! My limbs are weak; my<br \/>\nhands tremble like an old man that is palsied. Behold, I have sought in vain to find<br \/>\nanything perfect in me; I am as a trumpet that is bruised and split; there is no harmony or<br \/>\npower within me.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">22. Thou first gavest me a wife and sons and daughters to rule over and to raise up for<br \/>\nThy glory, but I failed utterly. My wife saw not with my eyes, nor heard with my ears, nor<br \/>\njudged with my judgment; we were like two instruments, broken and out of tune. As for<br \/>\nmy sons, they went astray, like sheep without a herdsman; my advice was as weak to<br \/>\nthem as the shadow is to the tree. And my daughters went away from my love, and chose<br \/>\nyoung men, even before my eyes.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">23. Then I cried out unto Thee, saying: O Jehovih, why gavest Thou me a kingdom?<br \/>\nBehold, it is scattered and gone! Then I went down into the grave in sorrow. But Thy<br \/>\nhand raised up my soul in heaven; and Thou gavest me another kingdom. But my people<br \/>\nwould not see through my eyes nor hear through my ears. Then I sought to know if my<br \/>\neyes were not wrong, and my ears wrong, and my judgment wrong.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">24. And I turned about, like one who is lost in a forest, and shutteth his eyes as to the<br \/>\ndirection of the sun, going by the sound of a multitude of tongues. And my kingdom drew<br \/>\na boundary around itself, and shut out all light. But Thy Son came and delivered me and<br \/>\nmy people.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">25. Behold, I was as weak as a child; in my weakness Thy light came upon me. Never<br \/>\nmore shall I desire others to see through my eyes, or hear through my ears, or judge by my<br \/>\njudgment. Thou hast healed me of my infirmity, O Jehovih. Only by one Eye can things<br \/>\nbe seen through; by one Ear can things be heard through; by one Judgment can things be<br \/>\njudged.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">26. Thou hast said: Go forth in My name! I will go, O Father! Thou hast said: Thou shalt<br \/>\nhave dominion over the earth and her heavens! This will I accomplish also, by Thy Light<br \/>\nand Power, O Jehovih!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">27. Then spake Jehovih through Fragapatti, saying: Accept the earth, O Hoab, My Son,<br \/>\nMy God! It is thine to keep and to rule over! Accept atmospherea, O Hoab, My Son, My<br \/>\nGod! It is thine to keep and to rule over!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">28. Hoab said: I will be Thy Son, O Jehovih! I will be Thy God, O Jehovih! From Thee I<br \/>\naccept the earth to keep and to rule over! From Thee I accept the earth&#8217;s heavens, to keep<br \/>\nand to rule over! Again Jehovih spake through Fragapatti, saying:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">29. What thou doest henceforth do thou in My name, for it is of Me and is Me in thee!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">30. Hoab said: What I do henceforth do I in Thy name, O Jehovih! For I know it is Thee<br \/>\nin me that doeth all glorious things!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">31. Jehovih spake through Fragapatti, saying: With Mine Own hands weave I a crown for<br \/>\nthee My Son, My God of the red star! I place it on thy head for the glory of My kingdoms,<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">which are endless in number and full of holiness! Wear thou My Crown, for it is with<br \/>\nWisdom and Power!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">32. Then Fragapatti&#8217;s hands were waved about by the Great Spirit, and a crown was<br \/>\nwoven and placed on Hoab&#8217;s head, and it was brilliant and white, studded with countless<br \/>\nmillions of gems. Hoab said: Crown from Thy hand, O Father! I accept it and wear it,<br \/>\nemblem of Thy kingdoms, endless in number and full of holiness. I know that Thou wilt<br \/>\never be with me in Wisdom and Power! I will glorify Thee forever! My kingdoms shall<br \/>\nglorify Thee forever!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">33. The chief marshal now conducted Hoab to the throne of Jehovih, which had been<br \/>\npreviously vacated, and Hoab sat in the midst of the throne. In the meantime, the<br \/>\nes&#8217;enaurs chanted a hymn of glory. Hoab then said: Fragapatti, Son of Jehovih, Orian<br \/>\nChief, come thou and honor my throne in the name of the Father. Then Fragapatti went to<br \/>\nthe throne and sat thereon. Next Hoab called up Athrava, then Hapacha, and then other<br \/>\nGods and Goddesses.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">34. And now, whilst the Council held, Fragapatti said: Behold, the time of the death of<br \/>\nZarathustra hath come. Be ye here, and I will go quickly down to the earth and receive<br \/>\nGod and him, and the hosts of God and his Lords.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">35. So Fragapatti departed, and sailed swiftly down to Parsi&#8217;e, on the earth, and came to<br \/>\nthe place of meeting of the corporeans who had charge of the Holy Word. And it was on<br \/>\nthe morning of the fourth day after Zarathustra&#8217;s death. For three days and nights his spirit<br \/>\nhad been preaching to the Faithists, explaining the kingdoms of Jehovih.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">36. So Fragapatti called unto God, saying: Behold, my Son, thy labor is done. In thee<br \/>\nhave I great delight. Behold, my ship lieth by the river; my lights are raised for the<br \/>\neverlasting thrones! God (Samati) said: It is finished! That that thou didst put upon me I<br \/>\nhave done! Behold, here standeth Zarathustra, my Son.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">37. Zarathustra was then taking leave of his corporeal friends, for his soul was fast<br \/>\nbecoming illuminated. Yea, he had looked up and beheld the ship of All Light, and he<br \/>\nknew now the Voice of the Father.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">38. So Fragapatti went and took Zarathustra in his arms, saying: Come, my beloved.<br \/>\nThy home is yonder! So, they went into the ship of fire and ascended to Mouru.<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Chapter 42<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">1. And now the Lord Gods, and Lords and Gods, began to arrive in Mouru. The marshals,<br \/>\nand their officers and workmen, had extended the landing-places for the hosts of ships;<br \/>\nreceivers had been appointed and allotted their various places. Heralds and messengers<br \/>\nhad been provided with places of announcement; and lines of intercommunion had been<br \/>\nlaid, so that the words of heralds and messengers could be heard by all the millions in<br \/>\nwaiting.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. Be it known, O angels and mortals, such is the glory of Jehovih&#8217;s works that, stand<br \/>\nwhere ye will, His kingdoms are always seeming above. As ye of the earth look upward<br \/>\nand behold the stars, so they that live on the stars look upward to see the earth. If,<br \/>\ntherefore, ye were receiving messengers from the stars, it would seem to you that they<br \/>\ncame downward; but to them, as if they rose upward, even until near the landing-place,<br \/>\nwhen it would be downward to them also. Because the feet of a mortal or the feet of an<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">angel are on the foundation of his place, and because his head standeth in the opposite<br \/>\nway from his feet.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. First came Ardi&#8217;atta, Goddess over the spirits that had been delivered out of the hells of<br \/>\nAoasu by Fragapatti and Hoab, housed in Zeredho and Haraiti. And with her, her<br \/>\nsuccessor, Gaipon, manager of the hosts. Ardi&#8217;atta brought one thousand and three<br \/>\nhundred millions of souls in her ship, mostly visitors who had been delivered out of hell.<br \/>\nBesides these, were twenty millions raised to light, clothed as Brides and Bridegrooms of<br \/>\nJehovih. These latter were the harvest of Ardi&#8217;atta, and in her charge. The receivers of her<br \/>\nship stationed it in its place, and then the receivers of her hosts conducted them to their<br \/>\nplaces.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. And now came E&#8217;chad, Lord God of Arabin&#8217;ya, in his ship, with more than four<br \/>\nthousand million souls, half of whom were Brides and Bridegrooms. His ship was<br \/>\nreceived by the proper officers, and stationed in its place; and his hosts received by the<br \/>\nproper persons, and conducted to their respective places. With the Brides and<br \/>\nBridegrooms E&#8217;chad entered the south wing of the capital; and E&#8217;chad&#8217;s successor<br \/>\nwas with the visiting hosts. When E&#8217;chad entered before the throne, Fragapatti<br \/>\nsaluted him on the sign J<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">EHOVIH\u2019S <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">R<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">EST<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">, and E&#8217;chad answered in T<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">HE <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">G<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">LORY OF <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">E<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">VENING<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. Before the hosts of E&#8217;chad were landed and placed, there came Ots-ha-ta, Lord of North<br \/>\nOceya, with his successor, in a ship of thirty millions, of whom Ots-ha-ta had two million<br \/>\nBrides and Bridegrooms. His ship was received and stationed in its place; and his hosts<br \/>\nreceived and assigned to their places.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. In the meantime, Kow&#8217;anea, God of South Guatama, came in his ship, with his<br \/>\nsuccessor, bringing seven hundred million souls, of whom Kow&#8217;anea had sixty million<br \/>\nBrides and Bridegrooms. And they were received by the proper officers and assigned to<br \/>\ntheir places.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. Hardly had Kow&#8217;anea landed, when Yaton&#8217;te came, with his successor and his<br \/>\nhosts. Yaton&#8217;te&#8217;s ship was the most beautiful of all that had yet arrived. His hosts<br \/>\nwere four thousand million souls; but of Brides and Bridegrooms he had but thirty<br \/>\nmillions. Him Fragapatti saluted on the sign of S<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">TAR OF THE <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">W<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">EST<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">, and Yaton&#8217;te answered<br \/>\nin the sign of the G<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">OLDEN <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">C<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">IRCLE<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">! He and his hosts were then assigned their places.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. Now came M&#8217;wing&#8217;mi, God of South Oceya, and his little ship was laden with four<br \/>\nhundred million souls, and he had three million Brides and Bridegrooms. His ship was<br \/>\nreceived and stationed in its place, and his hosts received and stationed in their places.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. Next came Soo&#8217;fwa, God of Japan and her heavens. His was the most brilliant of all the<br \/>\nships, and he had three thousand five hundred million souls aboard, of whom two<br \/>\nhundred millions were Brides and Bridegrooms. His ship was received and stationed,<br \/>\nand his hosts also; and when he entered before the throne, Fragapatti saluted him on<br \/>\nthe sign of B<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">EFORE THE <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">A<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">NCIENTS<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">! And Soo&#8217;fwa answered him in the sign of L<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ITTLE <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">S<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">TAR<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. And now the most loved of all came, Uropa, Goddess of the barbarians! Her ship<br \/>\nwas the swiftest and best trimmed, and she brought one thousand million souls, of<br \/>\nwhom she had eighty million Brides and Bridegrooms as her harvest. When she entered<br \/>\nbefore the throne of Jehovih, leading in her Brides and Bridegrooms, Fragapatti saluted<br \/>\non the sign, P<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ERSISTENT <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">F<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">IRE<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">! And Uropa answered him in the sign, J<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">EHOVIH\u2019S <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">T<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">RUST<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. Now came great Ah&#8217;oan, Lord God of Jaffeth and her heavens. His ship was the<br \/>\nlargest of all, and he brought five thousand million souls, of whom nearly two thousand<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">millions were Brides and Bridegrooms. When he came before Jehovih&#8217;s throne, Fragapatti<br \/>\nsaluted him on the sign, T<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">HE <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">P<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">OWER OF <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">L<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">OVE<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">! Ah&#8217;oan answered him in the sign,<br \/>\nE<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">VERLASTING <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">L<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">IFE<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. And now the ship of Gir-ak-shi came in, bringing a thousand million souls, of whom<br \/>\neighty millions were Brides and Bridegrooms.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. Besides there were seventy and six other Gods, from departments of the grand<br \/>\ndivisions of the heavens, bringing, some five million souls and some even twenty<br \/>\nmillions. And there were Lords of islands and Lords of small places on the earth, who had<br \/>\nalso come in small ships, bringing, some five and some ten million souls. And all these<br \/>\nGods and Lords had Brides and Bridegrooms according to the place and number and<br \/>\ncondition whence they came. And they were all received and stationed in their proper<br \/>\nplaces.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">14. Thus there came to Mouru upward of thirty thousand million atmosphereans that had<br \/>\nsprung up from the earth by Jehovih&#8217;s will; and of these there were ten thousand millions<br \/>\nand eight hundred million spirits prepared as Brides and Bridegrooms unto the Great<br \/>\nSpirit. Besides these, there were the hosts of Fragapatti, the ethereans, ten millions,<br \/>\nmostly Gods and Goddesses, and these formed the inner sacred circle of the Holy<br \/>\nCouncil. Next to these were their successors, ten millions, who were to be the Holy<br \/>\nCouncil of Mouru after the ascension. And next outside of these were stationed the Lord<br \/>\nGods and their attendants, behind whom stood their Brides and Bridegrooms. Next stood<br \/>\nthe Gods and their attendants, and Brides and Bridegrooms; and then the Lords, their<br \/>\nattendants, and their Brides and Bridegrooms.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">15. And next outside of these stood the successors, the Gods and Lords, with<br \/>\ntheir attendants; and yet behind them, their visiting hosts. And within and amongst<br \/>\nthem all, the musicians, the marshals, messengers, swift messengers and heralds were<br \/>\nassigned their respective places. But so vast was the multitude of angels, and so great<br \/>\nthe glory, that one might look thereon all day and not even see the millionth part; nor<br \/>\nis it possible for corporeal words to convey but a crude picture of the magnificent scene.<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Chapter 43<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">1. God, that is Samati, said: In my hands gavest thou the red star and her heavens, O<br \/>\nJehovih! As an emblem of Thy first three worlds, and of the first, second and<br \/>\nthird resurrections, Thy Sons, bestowed upon me the triangle. Behold, the time of<br \/>\nmy reign hath come to an end. With Thy holy harvest Thou callest me to a higher world.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. But Thou hast raised up Thy Son, Hoab, who is of great Wisdom and Power in Thee.<br \/>\nHe shall be Thy God and Thy Son in the places I have been. To him, in Thy name, O<br \/>\nFather, I bestow the triangle, symbol of Thee and of Thy created worlds, and of the<br \/>\nindividuals thereof. By my parting with it is the end of this dawn recorded; by Hoab&#8217;s<br \/>\nreception of it is his dominion begun.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. God then took off the triangle and hung it on Hoab&#8217;s neck, saying: I salute thee, God<br \/>\nof earth and heaven! Immediately the es&#8217;enaurs chanted, H<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">AIL TO <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">T<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">HEE<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">, O G<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">OD<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">, S<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ON OF<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">J<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">EHOVIH<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. Now during the time of the arrival of the hosts of Gods and Lords and their<br \/>\nresurrections, there were to be seen, high in the firmament above, two stars, like twins,<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">descending. These were the avalanzas of Hoseis, Goddess of Alawatcha, coming to<br \/>\nreceive the Brides and Bridegrooms of Jehovih, to take them to the etherean realms<br \/>\nprepared for them by the Orians of the higher heavens.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. Her avalanzas were descending by the road of Affolkistan, and coming swiftly. Now<br \/>\nbetwixt the glory of these lights, and the ceremonies in Mouru, one knew not where best<br \/>\nto look, for the awe and grandeur on every side was overwhelming. And not less to move<br \/>\nso vast a host were the es&#8217;enaurs, the singers, and the far-off trumpeters. There stood also<br \/>\nthe great multitude of Brides and Bridegrooms, arrayed in white, like a vast sea of white,<br \/>\nmore than ten thousand millions!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. But not long the waiting was, for so the Gods time their labors that every adventure<br \/>\nfitteth to another. The twin stars grew and grew in size, till, like two suns descending,<br \/>\nthey seemed as wide as the borders of Haraiti! And whilst the multitude thus<br \/>\ngazed and watched, Fragapatti rose in his place on the throne and called out, saying:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. Behold, the time hath now arrived for the brotherhood of Gods and Lords to be<br \/>\nbestowed upon the earth and her heavens. As the earth is divided into many sections, so<br \/>\nhave I bequeathed on the earth many Lords, to hold dominion over mortals; and yet over<br \/>\nall of these have I chosen and appointed one God.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. For in this manner were the first heavenly kingdoms of the red star founded by<br \/>\nSethantes, Son of Jehovih. In the history that followed since his day, it hath turned out<br \/>\nthat first one Lord and then another lost power in his kingdom, and finally, even the Gods<br \/>\nwere powerless to rule angels and mortals to righteousness.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. That ye may henceforth be strong, like the heavenly kingdoms on other worlds, I now<br \/>\ndecree Diva, in the name of Jehovih! And God and his Lord Gods and his Gods and<br \/>\nLords of divisions, shall comprise the Diva; nor shall any other person be eligible to the<br \/>\norder, neither of this world nor of any other world; male and female shall be the members<br \/>\nof Diva.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. And he who is God, who was Hoab, high raised from Zeredho, shall be Div over all<br \/>\nthe rest. Nevertheless, the name Div shall be used by all the members of Diva, when<br \/>\nabiding in their several dominions. But no other person, neither on earth or in heaven,<br \/>\nshall be entitled to the rank of Div.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. And the Diva shall meet thrice every earth year, and in this capital, Mouru, to render<br \/>\nunto one another the matters of their several dominions; and when the meetings take<br \/>\nplace, each and every Lord and God, and Lordess and Goddess, shall be present and<br \/>\nfulfill these, my commandments.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. And when the members are thus assembled, Div only shall have the title of Div; and<br \/>\nthe members shall salute him as D<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">IV<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">, S<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ON OF <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">A<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">LL <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">L<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">IGHT<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">. And the meetings of the Diva<br \/>\nshall be private; nor shall any person be eligible to be present in Diva, save the novices<br \/>\nwho may be in preparation to become Lords and Gods by succession. But none of the<br \/>\nnovices shall be entitled to speak in Diva.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. And each and every member of Diva shall report his department, as to whether in<br \/>\nneed of assistance, or his capacity to provide emigrants to other plateaux, and such report<br \/>\nshall be made in person before Div; and when all the reports are given in, then shall Div<br \/>\nrender judgment thereon, giving to or exacting from any one or more of the dominions,<br \/>\naccording to the Voice of Jehovih.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">14. And the judgments of Div, Son of All Light, shall be called Divan law, from which<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">there shall be no appeal. And the Lords and Gods shall carry these decrees down to<br \/>\nmortals, in their several dominions, rendering them unto the God-irs on earth, whereby<br \/>\nmortals through the Rab&#8217;bah shall receive communion from the All Light.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">15. In the time of the assembling of Diva, swift messengers shall be present and witness<br \/>\nall the laws that shall be passed; and immediately thereafter shall such swift messengers<br \/>\ndepart from Mouru and come to the etherean kingdoms in the roadway of the earth and<br \/>\nher heavens, and render the same unto the nearest Orian Chief, or other etherean God,<br \/>\nSon of Jehovih.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">16. To the end, therefore, that my commandments shall be in the name of Jehovih, let<br \/>\nGod and Lord Gods, and Gods and Lords, and Goddesses and Lordesses, approach the<br \/>\nFather&#8217;s throne, that I may bestow them according to the rites and ceremonies of the Gods<br \/>\nof other corporeal and atmospherean worlds.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">17. The marshals now conducted all of them, save God, before the throne: First, Thulae,<br \/>\nthen Es&#8217;pacia, then Geth&#8217;ya, and so on, until the hosts of the dominions were before<br \/>\nFragapatti. And then God (Hoab) rose up and faced toward the west. Fragapatti said:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">18. In Thy name, O All Light, do I create a Diva unto the earth and her heavens; and this,<br \/>\nThy God, I anoint as Div, with power to him to anoint his successor in like manner. May<br \/>\nThy Voice and Judgment be with him forever! And these, Thy Lord Gods, and these, Thy<br \/>\nGods and Thy Lords, and these, Thy Goddesses and Thy Lordesses, do I anoint as<br \/>\nmembers of Diva; and to each and all of them give I power in Thy name to appoint<br \/>\nsuccessors after them for Thy allotted seasons. May Thy Wisdom and Power be with<br \/>\nthem forever. Amen!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">19. God said: In Thy name, O All Light, do I accept the Diva. And, on behalf of my Gods<br \/>\nand Lords, proclaim Thy Divan Power unto heaven and earth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">20. The others responded: We will fulfill thy decrees, O All Light, now and henceforth,<br \/>\nforever. Be Thou with us in wisdom and strength for Thy glory!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">21. Fragapatti then extended his hand upward, saying: Inqua git s&#8217;ang, of Thy Inqua git<br \/>\ns&#8217;ang, O All Light! (Dominion within dominion, give me Thy symbol, O Jehovih!) And<br \/>\nthere came out of the light before the throne a substance, and Fragapatti seized it and<br \/>\nformed therefrom, first, a hollow ball, and within it another ball; and second, two<br \/>\ninterlocked triangles; and he gave to each of the Diva a pair, that is, a ball within a ball<br \/>\nand a triangle; and he said unto them:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">22. Behold, O Jehovih, Thou didst call me from my high place in heaven, saying: Go thou<br \/>\nto the red star, the earth; her soil is wet with human blood! Her heavens are dead; My<br \/>\nharvest is nothing! And I came and delivered Thy Word to mortals; in blood gave I it, and<br \/>\nthen washed clean the whole earth. And I gathered together Thy lost children in the lower<br \/>\nheavens, and have raised them up with power. Whereof, in token of Thy Light that was<br \/>\nwithin me, have I become one within Thy labors, and I have raised up Gods and Lords in<br \/>\nThee also; that one perfect thing may be within another, after the manner of Thy created<br \/>\nworlds, this, Thy holy sign, do I bequeath unto them, to be theirs and their successors&#8217;<br \/>\nforever!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">23. So Fragapatti bestowed the Lords and Gods, and his labors were finished.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">24. In the meantime, the sun-ships of Hoseis drew near and landed, both to south and<br \/>\nwest of Mouru, and so mighty and full of grandeur were they, the thousands of millions<br \/>\nlooking on were breathless in awe and wonder. Then descended out of the fire-ships the<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">marshals of Hoseis&#8217;hosts, of whom there were thirty millions aboard. And they spread a<br \/>\nfrowas from the ship even to Jehovih&#8217;s throne, and Hoseis alighted from the ship and<br \/>\nwalked briskly forward on the frowas, and Fragapatti and his hosts went and received her,<br \/>\nand conducted her to the throne.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">25. And now, after due ceremonies betwixt the Gods and Goddesses, Athrava rose up and<br \/>\nsaid: To thee, O Hoseis, Goddess of Alawatcha, in the name of Jehovih, do I bestow the<br \/>\nBrides and Bridegrooms of heaven and earth. They are the harvest of Samati, God of the<br \/>\ndivision of Haniostu, his Lords and Gods through the Orian Chief, Fragapatti, for the<br \/>\nFather&#8217;s emancipated heavens!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">26. Hoseis said: Brides and Bridegrooms of Jehovih, in His name receive I you, to deliver<br \/>\nunto the All High Worlds.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">27. And then Hoseis and Athrava proceeded in the ceremonies in the usual way, and were<br \/>\nresponded to by the ten thousand million Brides and Bridegrooms.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">28. When the ceremonies were finished, the time of the ascension was at hand. So<br \/>\nFragapatti and Hoseis, accompanied by their Gods and Lords, went down to the foot of<br \/>\nthe throne and sat down, and God, that had been Hoab, sat alone in the midst of the<br \/>\nthrone. The es&#8217;enaurs then sang a hymn on T<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">HE <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">M<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ARCH OF <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">J<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">EHOVIH\u2019S <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">W<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ORLDS<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">! When it was<br \/>\nconcluded, God went down and took Fragapatti&#8217;s hand and Hoseis&#8217;hand, saying: Arise, O<br \/>\nSon, and thou, O Daughter of Jehovih! The Father calleth! Go your way! Fragapatti and<br \/>\nHoseis rose up, and then all the Gods and Lords rose up.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">29. Hoab, that is God, fell into Fragapatti&#8217;s arms! And when they had embraced, God<br \/>\nwithdrew and returned to the throne. Fragapatti saluted him on the sign, F<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">AITHIST<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle2\">, <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">and God<br \/>\nanswered him in the sign, F<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">OREVER<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">! Whereupon the hosts followed after Fragapatti and<br \/>\nHoseis, and entered the great avalanzas.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">30. Fragapatti gave his own avalanza to Athrava and his attendants, and they took from it<br \/>\nthe magnet and made it rotary also. And when they were all aboard, Hoseis commanded<br \/>\nthe ascension, and the mighty fire-ships rose up, turning and rising.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">31. Fragapatti created flowers and drapery, and cast overboard sufficient, so that all the<br \/>\ntwenty thousand millions remaining had every one some memento. In a little while the<br \/>\nresurrection was complete; the sun-ships rose higher and higher; passing the earth&#8217;s<br \/>\nvortex and entering etherea, going to the kingdoms prepared for them by the high-raised<br \/>\nSons and Daughters of Jehovih!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">END OF THE BOOK OF FRAGAPATTI<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1160\" src=\"http:\/\/religionoflight.org\/ns\/lightofgod\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/03\/Plate-13-300x75.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"75\" srcset=\"https:\/\/religionoflight.org\/ns\/lightofgod\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/03\/Plate-13-300x75.jpg 300w, https:\/\/religionoflight.org\/ns\/lightofgod\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/03\/Plate-13-604x152.jpg 604w, https:\/\/religionoflight.org\/ns\/lightofgod\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/03\/Plate-13.jpg 704w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Plate 13<\/p>\n<p>THE SIGNATURE<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Holy Memorial Day Book of Fragapatti Chapter 41, Chapter 42, Chapter 43 Chapter 41 1.
