God’s Book of Eskra Chapter 40, Chapter 41<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

CHAPTER 40
\n<\/span>1. Not less were the trials of Ennochissa; for his sub-Gods also revolted, and many
\nof them assumed the names of the Saviors he had given to Chine’ya. And he also
\nsent an army of two thousand million angel warriors down to the earth to destroy
\nthem, and break them up, and if need be to capture them, and cast them in hell.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Of these hosts, he made Yad’deth chief captain, giving him power to select his own
\ncaptains and generals. And it came to pass, that a heavenly war ensued on the earth, in
\nChine’ya, betwixt the hosts of Ya’deth and the rebellious sub-Gods and their hosts, which
\nlasted seventy years.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. And Ya’deth gained the victory, clearing away all the rebel angels of the sub-Gods, and
\nputting them to flight. Four of these rebel Gods fled into Argos, to Athena, where they
\nestablished themselves securely.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Ennochissa now summoned Ya’deth and his victorious army to Eta-shong, his heavenly
\nkingdom. And when he was before the throne, Ennochissa said unto him:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Thou hast beholden the machinations of my brother Triune God, Kabalactes, who hath
\nfalsely assumed the name, Budha, and proclaimed himself the All Highest God, and his
\nheaven the All Highest Heaven of Heavens. Two things do I decree, this day and hour:
\nAn army of angels, for the earth, of two thousand millions; and thou Ya’deth, shalt be
\ntheir commander, to do my will. And another army of angel warriors, for my heavenly
\nkingdom of Eta-shong; and for my kingdom of Damaya, over Guatama.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. For my heavenly army, thou, Loo Wan, shalt be commander for Eta-shong; and thou,
\nBiwawotha, shalt be commender for Damaya.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. And to ye of heaven, I assign the care and protection of my kingdoms with your armies.
\nAnd ye shall wall your places around, and fortify me on every side with angel warriors.
\nYet, menace not the angels of Budha, nor of Looeamong. Nevertheless, if they offend, or
\nare disrespectful of me and my kingdoms, ye shall arrest them, and provide places of
\ntorment for them, and cast them in.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. But as for thee, Ya’deth, thou and thy hosts shalt return again to the earth, to mortals,<\/span>
\nand establish me as BRAHMA, which shall be my name on earth and in heaven from
\nthis time forth forever. And thou shalt possess the oracles, and by all possible means
\nestablish me amongst mortals, as well as in Vind’yu and Chine’ya. And all who
\nprofess Brahma hereafter, shall be my subjects on their entrance into heaven.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. And if it come to pass that Budha’s mortal warriors fall upon the mortal Brahmins, to
\ndestroy them, then shalt thou consider that Budha is my enemy.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. And thou and thy angel warriors shall obsess every Brahmin to take up arms, and war
\nto the death every aggressing Budha. For Budha shall learn that I, Brahma, rule these
\nheavens in mine own way.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. So it came to pass, the four thousand million warriors of Ennochissa (now falsely
\nnamed Brahma), were selected, and apportioned and marched off to their several places
\nin great pomp and glory. To describe even one of these armies, with their music and
\ntheir implements of war, their manual and procession, would require a large book.
\nThen their vessels of war; their implements of fire and water; their banners and flags;
\nand, above all, their enthusiasm. For many of them had been warriors in earth-life,
\nand knew no other trade, and now exulted in the prospect of mortal blood and death.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. Of the sub-Gods of Vind’yu and Chine’ya, Jehovih said: For this, alone, these
\nthings are good. For, in time to come, man of the earth will look abroad over the earth and
\nsay: How came the Vind’yu Gods in Roma? How came the Chine’ya Gods in Athena?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. For, since they will not be able to answer their own questions, they will perceive,
\nthere must have been a heavenly cause that mortals knew not of.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. For in time of the fulfillment of My revelations, it will not be sufficient unto either
\nheaven or earth to re-establish spiritual communion; but it shall also be shown unto them
\nthat there are kingdoms and principalities in heaven. And they are ruled over by both
\ngood and bad Gods. Moreover, they shall understand that of a truth whoso worshippeth
\nBudha shall go to Budha to be his slaves; and whoso worshippeth Brahma shall go to
\nBrahma, and be his slaves.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

15. I will make it plain to them that to worship a spirit, though he be a God, is but the
\ngiving of their own souls into bondage. For they shall in that day understand that the
\nGreat Spirit, the Ever Present, is not an idol in the figure of a man, sitting on a throne.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

16. Moreover, spirits and mortals shall perceive that to deny My Person, will, soon or
\nlate, bring the doer into a trap from which he can not escape. Give then to Ennochissa the
\nname Brahma, for it is his choice. And thou shalt perceive that the time will come, when
\nhe will seek to throw aside even this name, and even his own person, in order to escape
\nhell.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

17. Thus was established the two false Gods, Budha and Brahma. And at once there was a
\nwar in heaven, as well as on earth. And this was virtually the end of the schools and
\ncolleges in these heavens, and also the beginning of the breaking up of the factories and
\nplaces of industry in the two kingdoms, Eta-shong and Haractu, in atmospherea.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

18. As to the earth regions, Vind’yu and Chine’ya, this is how they stood in that day:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

19. Chine’ya was so well established in the doctrines of Chine and Ka’yu, that the people
\nshunned war and idolatry. The Saviors had gained but little footing. And now, when the
\nGods sought to inspire the people to war, in order to establish themselves, Brahma and
\nBudha, only the most barbarous regions could be influenced.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

20. Brahma, the false God, now perceiving the potency of Ka’yu’s books, sent his angel<\/span>
\nwarriors to inspire the Sun King, T’sin, to have all the books in Chine’ya destroyed, in
\norder to reduce the empire to ignorance. Accordingly, the Sun King, T’sin, issued a
\ndecree, commanding all the books and tablets of Chine’ya to be destroyed.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

21. Brahma said: I will have all, or destroy all. My angels shall not let sleep in peace, any
\nking or governor in all this land, until he engage in the work of thus destroying mine
\nenemy, Learning.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

22. And there were destroyed, in one year, more than five million books, and one million
\ntablets of stone and copper; being the destruction of the books of the ancients, for upward
\nof twenty thousand years. Besides these, there were destroyed many of the books of
\nKa’yu, but not all of them.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

23. In the meantime, the anti-war spirit of the people had cried out to the Creator: O
\nFather, what shall we do to avert war, and to preserve the revelations of Thy holy ones of
\nold?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

24. And Jehovih answered them, through God of Paradise, Jehovih’s Son, saying: Build
\nye walls against the barbarians. And your walls shall stand as a testimony of what ye are
\nwilling to do, rather than engage in war, even for self-preservation.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

25. Because ye have faith in Me, I will be with you even unto the end.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

26. And it came to pass that the Faithists of Chine’ya built stone walls, the greatest
\nbuildings in all the world. And they stand to this day.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

27. Jehovih said: Behold the works of My chosen. As long as these walls stand, they shall
\nbe testimony of the struggle of My people, to maintain themselves, by means of peace
\ninstead of war. And the walls shall be monuments to the Faithists of this land, who have
\nperished by the false Gods, Brahma and Budha.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

28. Yea, the testimony of these walls shall be stronger, in time to come, against Brahma
\nand Budha, than though every stone were a sword and spear. And the followers of My
\nSon, Ka’yu, shall loathe them with pity and hate.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

29. In Vind’yu also, did the machinations of Budha and Brahma work sore mischief on
\nmortals. In this country both of these false Gods decreed the destruction of all books and
\ntablets, save such as looked favorable to their own doctrines. And there were here
\ndestroyed more than two million books and one million tablets, of stone and copper.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

30. And the schools and colleges of the people were well nigh destroyed, the whole
\nlength and breadth of the land.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

31. And in both, Chine’ya and Vind’yu, were there slain in war, in order to establish the
\nnames of these Gods amongst mortals, more than one hundred and forty millions of
\npeople, men, women and children.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

32. By the angel warriors of these two Gods were mortals thus inspired in the work of
\ndestruction. Not only against the Faithists were these Gods, but against each other also.
\nAnd mortals were their victims, for the glory and exaltation of the two heavenly
\nkingdoms, Haractu and Eta-shong.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

CHAPTER 41
\n<\/span>1. God said: Hear ye, O earth, and ye, O heaven, of Looeamong, the other of the Triunes,
\nthe founders of the doctrines of the Holy Ghost and Trinity.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. My word is gone forth; the kingdoms of the spirit of the dead shall reveal through me
\nunto all men; their libraries shall be as an open book to Jehovih’s Sons and Daughters in<\/span>
\nheaven and earth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Because Looeamong pursued Ashtaroth in conjunction with Baal, and overthrew her
\nand her kingdom, and cast them into hell, he became as a lion, savage at the taste of
\nblood.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. And I cried out unto him, saying: Hold, hold; enough! But he said: Nay, till I have Baal
\nalso cast into hell, I will not cease the carnage of mortal blood.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. And he cast about in Hapsendi, his heavenly place, calling up angel warriors, tens of
\nmillions, hundreds of millions. But Baal, the self-God of Heleste, called his mighty
\nlegions in heaven, and sent them down to the earth, redoubled, to inspire mortals to
\nbloody deeds.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Baal said: Mine is an easy doctrine to understand. All mortals that worship not
\nBaal shall be put to death. The worshipers of the Trinity, the Father, Son and Holy
\nGhost, are my enemies. Such mortals shall die! Such angels shall go the way of hell.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. The Faithists, the worshipers of Jehovih, are also my enemies. Such mortals shall be
\ntortured and sawed in halves. Such angels shall be bound in knots in hell, and suffocated
\nforever! I will have them know that Baal is the All Highest God of heaven and earth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. All the land of Arabin’ya, Heleste and part of Uropa, was as one great seat of anarchy
\nand war.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Looeamong said: I come not to bring peace, but war! I come to set nation against
\nnation, people against people, man against man. For righteousness sake will I purify the
\nearth with human blood.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. I will not have a half-way peace; I will destroy my enemies, east and west and north
\nand south. By the Holy Ghost have I sworn it!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. And the kingdoms of Egupt, and of Media, of Armenia, and Phrygia, and Argos, and
\nScythia and Noamedia, and of all the regions of Arabin’ya and the west, shall know no
\npeace till I have destroyed the worship of all Gods but the Triunes.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. And it came to pass, that there was no peace in any of those lands. Neither was there
\nsystem to the warfare, looking to any important result.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. Jehovih hath said: Let this stand as a testimony unto coming generations. For they
\nshall look back to these times, and behold, that the wars raged without purpose on the part
\nof any king. And that mortals were the instruments in the hands of the angels, who ruled
\nover them. And it shall be testimony unto them of what cometh upon peoples, who deny
\nMy Person. For they shall compare the peace and rejoicing of My people, whilst they had
\nno king, but kept My commandments, with such as put Me away, and tried to make
\nthemselves strong in kings and standing armies.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. Baal now established two more heavenly kingdoms, one over Jerusalem, and one
\nabove the Apennine mountains, off from Roma. And in the latter kingdom, which he
\ncalled Arkoli, he made an alliance with the Vind’yu Gods that escaped from their own
\nheavenly regions and fled to the mortal city, Roma. And near Athena, he founded a sub-kingdom of five hundred million angels, and made an alliance with the Gods that escaped from the Brahmin kingdoms.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

15. In this emergency, Looeamong, the Triune God of the Holy Ghost, beheld, with fear
\nand trembling, his formidable enemy, Baal. And so he determined, to send to Buddha for
\nassistance. Thus he solicited, to wit:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

16. To the Triune, the Holy Budha, Son of the Holy Ghost, greeting in love and majesty.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>17. By the power of the Triunes are we sworn to each other, to establish the Holy Ghost
\nin heaven and earth. By which confederacy are we three Gods powerful above all other
\nGods.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

18. Now behold, Baal, the most fiendish of all Gods, wageth war against our holy
\ndoctrines in all the regions of my heavenly kingdoms and on my dominions of the earth
\nalso. But my forces in heaven and earth need re-enforcement. And I come to thee,
\naccording to our original compact, asking thee for a thousand million angel warriors.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

19. By messengers Looeamong <\/span>sent this to <\/span>Budha, <\/span>who <\/span>answered him as followeth, to wit:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

20. It is said that great trials are the making of angels and mortals. I need my hosts for
\nmine own purposes. Nevertheless, if thou wilt cede Egupt to me, thou shalt have the army
\nthou asketh for, for the space of one hundred years.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

21. Insulting as was this proposal, Looeamong was obliged to accede to it, or to have his
\nkingdom destroyed by Baal.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

22. Accordingly, such an alliance was entered into; and so, Looeamong removed his
\nheavenly city, Hapsendi, westward, and cast it over Naomedia. And immediately
\nthereafter, Budha established a heavenly kingdom in Egupt, and called it, Celonia, giving
\nits management into the keeping of Thoth, the Bertian, an angel, so named, because he
\nwas cunning, like a fox.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

23. With these additional forces, Looeamong now renewed the assault on Baal on every
\nside, even more violently in his heavenly places than on the earth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

24. And it came to pass, that Looeamong routed Baal from his heavenly kingdom, and
\nfrom his sub-kingdoms also, but he did not capture him, or subdue him. And the angels of
\nLooeamong obtained Jerusalem and Athena, besides two hundred small cities with their
\noracle-houses and temples also. And Looeamong’s angel warriors took possession of
\nthem, so they could answer the oracles, the magicians and priests, in their own way.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

25. Baal still maintained an army of three thousand million angel warriors; and he
\nestablished himself in the city of Roma and Hieadas, that is, Bizantium, but used most of
\nhis army as rambling marauders.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

26. Now, when Looeamong beheld, that the other two Triunes had taken new names
\nfalsely, and that they had gained power thereby, he resolved to adopt for himself the
\nnames, Lord and God.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

27. Thoth, his chief warrior angel, fighting against Baal, had said: Most Holy Triune,
\nI must give mortals a name to fight for. The term, Holy Ghost, is not potent.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

28. So, Looeamong falsely assumed to be God, the Lord of heaven and earth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

29. He said to Thoth: Go tell mortals I am the same, who wrought wonders for the
\nIsraelites. And, forsooth, the Israelites will fight for me.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

30. Thoth did this. And furthermore Looeamong inspired one, Ezra, to gather all the
\nrecords he could, to be proof of his labors for the Israelites.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

31. To accomplish this, Thoth employed seven hundred thousand angels, to be with Ezra
\nand the numerous scribes whom Ezra employed. And by their inspiration were the books
\nof the Ezra Bible written and compiled, according to the commandments of Looeamong.
\nAnd there were thus collected seventy-two books, and they were put on file in the king’s
\nlibrary in Jerusalem, after the manner in which the ancients preserved important records
\nof events, and these books were named by Ezra, The Holy Library, of which number fiftyfour remain to this day.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>32. But, of all these, not one book was inspired of Jehovih, or His Son, God of heaven
\nand earth. Nevertheless, there are many things within them, that were of Jehovih and His
\nangels. Howbeit, though they were put on record by men, and interpreted by men.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

33. Looeamong, in these things sinneth not against Jehovih, for he did not cause his own
\nname, Looeamong, to be made worshipful.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

PLATE 35. LO’IASK.
\n<\/span>The position of the earth that led to the building of the Chinese Wall. It came to pass,
\nin those days, that the spirit of the Father dwelt in mortals, and they were turned
\naway from the shedding of blood. And when the earth came into Lo’iask, in etherea,
\nHis etherean angels penetrated the darkness and inspired the chosen of China to build
\na wall to protect themselves from destruction. And a wall was so built, the greatest
\non the whole earth. Jehovih said: Since these, My chosen people, have achieved the
\nage of peace on earth, let them shut themselves in, away from the barbarians without,
\nand they shall endure as a secluded people till the coming of kosmon. And it was so.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
