God, Jehovih&#8217;s Son, was wise above all these trials, for he had the light of Jehovih&#8217;s<br \/>\nkingdoms with him.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. And it will be shown, presently, how much further ahead are the plans laid out by<br \/>\nJehovih&#8217;s Sons, than by His enemies.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. Because Pharaoh persecuted the Israelites, Moses put a curse upon Pharaoh. Now, after<br \/>\nhundreds of years in the lower heavens, behold, Pharaoh was cast into hell, and then into<br \/>\nchaos, and none but Moses could deliver him, as hath been previously described.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. So, Moses descended from the higher heavens, and delivered Pharaoh, and he provided<br \/>\nPharaoh a new name, Illaes, and sent him back to earth to labor with the Israelites, in<br \/>\norder to fulfill his shortness in righteous works. Illaes, therefore, became a willing<br \/>\nvolunteer, and many angels with him.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. And these angels inspired seven hundred Israelites to separate themselves from all<br \/>\nother people, and to go and live by direction of the angels of Jehovih. Moreover, the<br \/>\nangels inspired these people to call themselves Es&#8217;eans, as commanded by Moses in<br \/>\nheaven.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. These Es&#8217;eans were, therefore, a separate people, pledged to Jehovih, to have no king<br \/>\nnor earth-ruler, save their rab&#8217;bahs. And they dwelt in communities and families of tens<br \/>\nand twenties and hundreds, holding all things in common. But in marriage, they were<br \/>\nmonagamic; neither would they have more than one suit of clothes each; and they lived<br \/>\non fruit and herbs only; nor ate they fish nor flesh of anything that had ever breathed the<br \/>\nbreath of life. And they bathed every morning at sunrise, and worshipped before the altar<br \/>\nof Jehovih, doing, in all things, after the manner of the ancient Faithists. By virtue of the<br \/>\nangel hosts, who were with them, did they these things. And they held communion with<br \/>\nthe angels of heaven, every night before going to sleep.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. Illaes had said: Because I persecuted the Faithists, and raised up my hands against them<br \/>\nand against Jehovih, I was instrumental, in part for their fall. Now will I labor with them,<br \/>\nto re-establish them in purity and love. And he so labored.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. And Illaes and his angel hosts made the camps of the Es&#8217;eans their dwelling places,<br \/>\nwatching over these few Israelites, day and night for hundreds of years. Yea, without<br \/>\nleaving them, these faithful angels guarded them from all the warring hosts of angels,<br \/>\nbelonging to the armies of Baal and Ashtaroth, and to the Triune God, Looeamong, and<br \/>\nhis hosts.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. And, though the Es&#8217;eans lived in great purity of body and soul, yet they were evilly<br \/>\nslandered by the world&#8217;s people around about them on every side.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. But Jehovih prospered the seed of the Es&#8217;eans, in holiness and love, for many<br \/>\ngenerations.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. Then came Gafonaya, chief of the loo&#8217;is, according to the command of God, to<br \/>\nraise up an heir to the Voice of Jehovih. And, in four generations more, an heir was<br \/>\nborn, and named, Joshu, and he was the child of Joseph and his wife, Mara, devout<br \/>\nworshippers of Jehovih, who stood aloof from all other people, save the Es&#8217;eans.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. And, because of the extreme youth of Mara, the child was of doubtful sex, whereupon<br \/>\nthe rab&#8217;bahs said, the child was an iesu, signifying neutral.<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. The time of the birth of the child, was three days after the descent of a heavenly ship<br \/>\nfrom the throne of God. And many of the Es&#8217;eans looked up and beheld the star, and they<br \/>\nfelt the cold wind of the higher heavens fall upon the place and around about the tent,<br \/>\nwhere the child was born. And they said, one to another: Jehovih, remembers us.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">14. Gafonaya, the chief angel of the loo&#8217;is, knew beforehand what the birth would be, and<br \/>\nhe sent out around about the Es&#8217;ean encampments extra guardian angels; and these<br \/>\nnotified the descending hosts of heaven of what was near at hand.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">15. So the messengers from heaven tarried until after the child was born, acquainting<br \/>\nIllaes of the time ahead when Moses and Elias, with their hosts would come to complete<br \/>\nthe deliverance of the spirits of the Eguptians, whom Moses had colonized in<br \/>\natmospherea.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">16. Illaes said: Thank Jehovih, I shall once more look upon Moses&#8217;face.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">17. When the birth was completed, the angels of heaven re-entered their star-ship and<br \/>\nhastened back to Paradise, God&#8217;s heavenly seat.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">CHAPTER 43<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">1. When Joshu was grown up, and ready for his labor, God provided a host of one<br \/>\nhundred million angels to make a line of light from his Holy Council down to the earth;<br \/>\nand they so made it.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. And God provided a guardian host of two thousand million angels to protect the line of<br \/>\ncommunications; for it was war times in heaven and earth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. Then came Moses from his etherean realms, accompanied by Elias and a sufficient<br \/>\nhost. And he came to Paradise, to God on the throne, where due preparation had been<br \/>\nmade for them. For the heavenly kingdoms of God were stirred from center to<br \/>\ncircumference, when it was heralded abroad that Moses and Elias were coming.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. And Paradise was like a new heavenly city, being acceded by an influx of more than a<br \/>\nthousand million visitors for the occasion.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. And heralds and receivers and marshals and musicians extended every way.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. A whole book might be written on the glory of the occasion, when that etherean<br \/>\nship descended from the higher heavens. Suffice it, Moses was received according to<br \/>\nthe custom of Gods. And God said to Moses and Elias: Come ye, and honor my throne;<br \/>\nand I will proclaim a file before the throne, to be followed by two days&#8217;recreation.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. Then Moses and Elias went up, and sat on the throne of God, that they might look upon<br \/>\nMoses&#8217;face. And Moses stood up before them. Moses said: I remember standing on the<br \/>\nearth whilst the hosts that came out of Egupt passed before me! Great Jehovih, what<br \/>\nsymbols of things Thou givest. And ever with a new thrill of joy to the soul. O Thou<br \/>\nAlmighty!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. That was all he said; but so great was the love and glory in his face as he stood on<br \/>\nthe throne of God that every soul that passed said: Moses, blessed Son of Jehovih!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. And God granted two days&#8217;recreation, during which time the ethereans mingled with<br \/>\nthe atmosphereans in great delight. After that, Moses, with his hosts, went to Elaban, his<br \/>\ncolony of Eguptians, who were now raised high in the grades. And Moses had them<br \/>\nremoved to Aroqu, where they were duly prepared and adorned as Brides and<br \/>\nBridegrooms of Jehovih. And, after suitable preparation, Moses provided for their ascent<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">to the Nirvanian fields of Metapotamas, in etherea, sending them in charge of his own<br \/>\nhosts.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. After that, Moses and his remaining hosts descended to the earth, to Kanna&#8217;yan, to the<br \/>\ntribes of Es&#8217;eans, which had been raised up by Illaes (Pharaoh). And great was the<br \/>\nmeeting betwixt Illaes and Moses. The former broke down with emotion. He said: All<br \/>\npraise to Thee, O Jehovih! Thou has remembered me at last.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. Moses came to him, and said: I have come for thee, O Nu&#8217;ghan! I have a place<br \/>\nprepared for thee and thy hosts in my etherean kingdoms! Thou hast done well!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. Then Moses and his hosts drew their otevan down to the angel camp, which was near<br \/>\nthe camp of the mortals, the Es&#8217;eans, and they made the light to fall upon the boat; and it<br \/>\ncame to pass that many of the Es&#8217;eans looked up and beheld the otevan, calling it a<br \/>\nchariot.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. And Moses and Elias went and stood before Joshu, and he saw them.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">14. Moses said unto him: My son! my son! The light of Eloih is upon thee. Israel, through<br \/>\nthee, shall regain the All One, which was lost.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">15. Thereupon, Moses and his hosts, together with Illaes and his hosts, went into the<br \/>\notevan, and immediately took course for Paradise, God&#8217;s heavenly seat, where they<br \/>\narrived in due season. And, after three days, they again entered the fire-ship, and took<br \/>\ncourse for Moses&#8217;etherean realms.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>God&#8217;s Book of Eskra Chapter 42, Chapter 43 CHAPTER 42 1.
