Jehovih said to Lika: Finish thy visit and thy inspection, My Son, in all the places of<br \/>\nhada on the earth, leaving the land of Jaffeth to the last. And thou shalt go thither, at the<br \/>\ntime of Chine&#8217;s resurrection, and descend with thy ship and take him up from the earth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. And thou shalt bring him with thee to Yogannaqactra, where he shall remain the few<br \/>\ndays that dawn remaineth; and when thy hosts ascend to etherea thou shalt take Chine<br \/>\nwith thee and make thy home his home until such time as he may be taught the ways and<br \/>\npowers of the higher heavens.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. For since his corporeal life is a sacrifice for the resurrection of men, he shall receive<br \/>\nespecial care and assistance in heaven.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. Lika had been previously informed by the God of Chine as to the time Chine would<br \/>\ndie, and be burnt up, with his ashes scattered to the four winds; and the re-gathering up of<br \/>\na corporeal form of Chine, and the seven days&#8217;duration thereof. So Lika shaped the<br \/>\ncourse of his otevan, according to the instruction of his messengers, who had been<br \/>\nappointed for that purpose, so that he should reach the field in time to raise up Chine<br \/>\nbefore the multitude.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. The God of Chine had prophesied to mortals through his ward that a fire-ship would<br \/>\ndescend from heaven on a given day, and take Chine up to heaven.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. Accordingly a great multitude of mortals were assembled in the ash-field, where they<br \/>\ncast the ashes of the dead, watching for the heavenly ship.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. Of which matters Lika had been previously informed by his messengers; and Lika had<br \/>\nin turn informed the God of Chine the time he would appear with the ship, that he might<br \/>\ncause Chine to walk in the midst of the field and so be caught up.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. And all these matters were carried out to the hour and minute, in the hands of these<br \/>\ngreat Gods. And Lika caused the fire of the ship to be made visible to mortals. And the<br \/>\nsize of the ship was ten times larger than the field of the dead, so that when the people<br \/>\nbeheld the light of the ship they feared and trembled, and many of them fell down<br \/>\nbewailing that the world was coming to an end.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. And God caused Chine to walk out in the field, and Lika sent down a whirlwind and<br \/>\ntook him up into the ship, in presence of tens of thousands of mortals assembled.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. And Lika bore his course now for Yogannaqactra, for the end of the dawn of Bon was<br \/>\nat hand.<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Chapter 26<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">1. Lika sent messengers to all his Gods and Lords, to install their successors, and to<br \/>\nbestow them; after which the Gods and Lords were to report in Theovrahkistan ready<br \/>\nfor the cyclic resurrection. And he commanded them to bring their etherean hosts<br \/>\nwith them, save such as chose to volunteer to remain the next dan of two hundred years.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. Lika had previously sent word by his swift messengers to etherea, to Lissa, Goddess of<br \/>\nTeannakak, in etherea, next to Howgil. And he said unto Lissa: My resurrection will be<br \/>\neight links, each one equal to eight thousand million Brides and Bridegrooms. Send thou<br \/>\na cowppon to deliver them.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. Lissa sent word back to Lika, saying: O Jehovih, I am delighted with the command of<br \/>\nThy Son, Lika, Chief of Vetta&#8217;puissa! I will deliver the chain of cowppon.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. Then Lissa gave her commands in Teannakak, to have her builders construct the<br \/>\ncowppon; and she also set her officers to work selecting such hosts as she would need for<br \/>\nher great undertaking. For she had been notified in sufficient time; for it was a matter of<br \/>\ngreat magnitude even in etherean realms.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. And so perfectly were Lissa&#8217;s commands carried out, that not one day&#8217;s time too much<br \/>\nor too little was wide the mark. And then she embarked with her hosts for the red star, the<br \/>\nearth, with her thousand million trained resurrectionists; on her long journey, twenty<br \/>\nthousand million miles!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. Jehovih had said: Carry far My Brides and Bridegrooms; make them know the<br \/>\nmagnificence of the heavens I have created. House them not together in a small corner.<br \/>\nLet them feast their souls on the splendors of My great heavens!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. In the meantime Lika and his Hosts in Theovrahkistan were getting ready for the<br \/>\nceremonies and for the ascension.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. The Gods, with their hosts, were now coming in from every quarter of the lower<br \/>\nheavens, bringing in their harvests and quartering them in the places allotted by the<br \/>\nmarshals.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. Most conspicuous and beloved of all was Ahura. Next to him were the five true Gods:<br \/>\nInane, Injek, Inlay, Inoal and Inyith, with their heavenly hosts restored to them; for it was<br \/>\nthrough these five Gods that the three mortals, Capilya, Moses and Chine, had delivered<br \/>\nthe Faithists of Vind&#8217;yu, Jaffeth and Arabin&#8217;ya. These five Gods had in five years changed<br \/>\nthe mortal dominions and laws of Vind&#8217;yu and Jaffeth, and sent four million Faithists on a<br \/>\nwestward journey round the earth; and had firmly established the All One in the four great<br \/>\ndivisions of the earth, and had delivered from bondage all the Faithists on the face of the<br \/>\nearth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. Great also was the work accomplished by At&#8217;yesonitus, and by Yussamis; and by the<br \/>\nGods that had delivered the hells and the knots; and by many others. So good and great<br \/>\nwere the works of them all, that a history of any one of them in the five years&#8217;labor,<br \/>\nwould make a book that a man could not read in a life-time.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. And they had left successors to carry out what they had founded; so that all the lower<br \/>\nheavens were in order, system and discipline, such as had not been for two thousand<br \/>\nyears.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. The drujas of the earth were removed away from mortals; the battle-fields of the earth<br \/>\nwere cleared of the chaotic spirits slain in wars.<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. So that the whole earth and her heavens were delivered into a new condition, in the<br \/>\nway and form of Jehovih&#8217;s light.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">14. And this was the Arc of Deliverance in Bon.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">15. Then descended Lissa with her chain of cowppon; with her ships of fire stretched<br \/>\nwide as the earth. And the hosts of Theovrahkistan, the Brides and Bridegrooms, sixty-four thousand million Sons and Daughters of Jehovih, stood, waiting, watching, nervous, but filled with inexpressible delight.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">16. And they saw the cowppon coming; knew the mission of the mighty Goddess, Lissa, Daughter of Jehovih!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">17. Arrayed in spotless white, the sixty-four thousand millions stood; shuddered at the etheric current, the whirlwind of the higher heavens, stood the exalted affianced of Great Jehovih!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">18. Nearer and nearer came the mighty sea of etherean fire; and nearer, till it landed at the plateau of Theovrahkistan.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">19. Then came forth Lissa, saluting; and, being answered by great Lika, Jehovih&#8217;s Son, proceeded before Jehovih&#8217;s throne.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">20. Then Lissa demanded in the usual form, why she had been summoned in Jehovih&#8217;s<br \/>\nname. Lika also answered in the usual form: To bestow Jehovih&#8217;s affianced Sons and Daughters.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">21. After this, each of the five Gods of the earth took their hosts and bequeathed them to<br \/>\nJehovih, through Lissa, His Daughter.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">22. But so great and grand were the ceremonies that mortal words cannot describe<br \/>\nthem. And as for the awe and magnificence, together with the music, could they be<br \/>\ndescribed to mortals, understandingly, they scarce could live, because of the enchantment.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">23. But there is a time, and a limit, and an end to all such matters; and so there was to the<br \/>\nlabor of Lika, Son of Jehovih. The hosts were wed, and they marched aboard the great<br \/>\netherean ships, the cowppon. Lika and his hosts went into his own airavagna. And, as it<br \/>\nwere, with a thread light, he made fast to the cowppon, and gave the word, the command<br \/>\nto go.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">24. Then raised up the mighty seas of fire, the eight-linked cowppon and the airavagna!<br \/>\nSlowly, steadily moving onward, upward, higher and higher, faster and faster, and still<br \/>\nhigher. And thus departed Lika with his thousands of millions of upraised Sons and<br \/>\nDaughters of Jehovih. And thus ended the dawn of Bon.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">END OF THE BOOK OF LIKA, SON OF JEHOVIH<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seventh-Day Sabbath,\u00a03rd Quarter Moon Book of Lika Chapter 25, Chapter 26 Chapter 25 1.
