Book of Wars Against Jehovih Chapter 5, Chapter 6<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Chapter 5<\/span><\/p>\n

1. And the harmony of heaven reigned on earth; war ceased amongst men on all
\nthe divisions of the earth. And man began to esteem wisdom, and truth, and virtue,
\nand industry. The inspiration of the angels set man to imitating the affairs of heaven.
\nHe built schools and colleges, nurseries and hospitals, and factories for silk cloth,
\nand linen cloth, and cotton cloth, and for paper; and factories for making glass,
\nand leather; and factories for smelting iron, and copper, and silver, and gold.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Three great peoples sprang upon the earth within two hundred years; in Jaffeth, in
\nVind’yu, and in Arabin’ya; and a fourth great people were overspreading Heleste in every
\nquarter. And the kings of Heleste were sending emigrants by thousands and thousands
\ninto Uropa.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. The Lords sent ashars of great wisdom to dwell with mortals, to teach them by
\ninspiration in regard to all knowledge; to teach them to spin and weave finely; to teach
\nthem the seasons, the times of the earth, and moon, and sun, and stars; to observe them
\nwith lenses, as had been the case in the cycle of Osiris, but was lost on the earth. Yea, the
\nspirits of thousands of years previous were brought back to the earth, to reveal to mortals
\nthe lost arts and sciences.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. By night and by day these angels remained in the presence of mortals, and by
\nvirtue of their presence spake unto the souls of men, and made them to understand.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. And the Lord God of Maitraias restrained the drujas of heaven from coming back to
\nafflict mortals or lead them astray. He guarded the earth around about on all sides, so
\nthat, in heaven, the Lords and the Divan hosts, in mirth, styled him T<\/span>HE <\/span>S<\/span>AVIOR OF <\/span>M<\/span>EN<\/span>!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Jehovih rebuked them, saying to God: They that sow in mirth oft reap in sorrow.
\nBut even the Lords, with all their wisdom, saw not what was in store for their successors.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Chapter 6<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

1. The O-yra, the four angels with their thousands of assistant angel hosts, dwelt on the
\nearth, with the Faithists; inspired them in peace, and rites, and ceremonies; inspired them
\nin prayers, and psalms, and sacred dances; dwelt with them day and night; talked to their
\nspirits when they slept; led them by inspiration to happy marriages, that they might beget
\noffspring capable of the Voice.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. And in each of the four countries the Faithists became as bands of brothers and sisters.<\/span>
\nAnd there came to them from the kings’peoples tens of thousands, and joined them,
\nliving as Faithists, casting their wealth into the rab’bah’s hands, for the benefit of the poor.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. In two hundred years there were in Jaffeth three million Faithists. In Arabin’ya there
\nwere two million Faithists. In Vind’yu there were four million Faithists. In Guatama there
\nwere one million Faithists.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. But the Faithists were mostly poor people, and inhabited many far-apart regions.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. But the kings’peoples were rich, and had large cities, an abundance of elephants, and
\nhorses, and camels, and asses, and cheetahs.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. The Faithists had little learning as to books and instruments for measuring the stars,
\nand moon, and sun; they derived their knowledge from the angels of the Lords.
\nThe Faithists’knowledge pertained mostly to perfecting the soul; but the knowledge
\nof the kings’peoples pertained mostly to earthly matters, and to the gratification of self.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
