The Lord said: After Looeamong had cast out all other false Gods in his earth<br \/>\ndominions, he set to work enriching his heavenly home, employing no less than seven<br \/>\nthousand million angel slaves for that purpose.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. Now, the place and extent of his heavenly capital was from Hasetus to Roma, and<br \/>\nthence northward to the Aquarian Mountains.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. His palace was modeled after Ennochissa&#8217;s, at Eta-shong, and of equal magnificence.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. His greatest warriors were now exalted as Lords, generals, marshals, and so on. And he<br \/>\nprovided rites and ceremonies, and tournaments, and all manner of heavenly diversities.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. But he made the rules of entrance to his palace so rigid, that only his highest officers<br \/>\nand visiting Gods could gain access to him.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. Now, for upward of a thousand years, the angel warrior, Gabriel, alias Thoth, had been<br \/>\nto Looeamong his most faithful sub-God.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. And Looeamong had promised Gabriel that, when he overthrew Baal, and cast him in<br \/>\nhell, he would give to Gabriel a great heavenly kingdom, with an earthly base.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. Accordingly, Gabriel applied for Jerusalem (his station), and for the heavens thereunto,<br \/>\nand for one thousand million slaves.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. But Looeamong postponed the matter from time to time, for more than six hundred<br \/>\nyears.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. Thoth, alias Gabriel, then sent this message to Looeamong, to wit:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. By virtue of mine own worth before the Gods of heaven, I greet thee in peace and<br \/>\nlove. First, in remembrance of thy many promises to me, in which thou hast kept no part<br \/>\nthereof faithfully.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. Second, that thou art not Kriste, which is All Knowledge, but a usurper and pretender.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. Third, that I made thee what thou art; and by mine own hand helped thee to cast<br \/>\nout Baal and Ashtaroth, and all the Roman&#8217;yan and Argos&#8217;yan Gods. Of which<br \/>\nmatters it is known in these three great heavens, thou didst promise me for more<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">than seven hundred years, to give me a kingdom of a thousand million subjects.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">14. And, fourth, since thou art safely raised up above all Gods within these regions, thou<br \/>\nhast affected to not know me. Yea, and in thy great heavenly recreations and tournaments<br \/>\nand receptions, thou hast not commanded my presence, or in any way shown more<br \/>\nremembrance of me than as if I were an es&#8217;yan.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">15. And, fifth, thou didst long promise me that, if thou shouldst succeed in establishing a<br \/>\nsub-kingdom on the earth, or in hada, near the earth, thou wouldst hand the same over to<br \/>\nme, to rank thee in all things. But thou hast greedily kept both kingdoms to thyself,<br \/>\nmaking either place thy residence, according to the times and seasons most propitious to<br \/>\nthine own glory and ease.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">16. And, lastly, that thou sacrificest the liberty of thy subjects, making them thy laborers<br \/>\nto embellish thy kingdom, and making them little better than slaves, in forever parading<br \/>\nin the ceremonies given in thy applause.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">17. These things have I often desired to speak to thee about; but thou ever affectedst to be<br \/>\noverrun with other matters, so as to put me off from my opportunity. Whereupon I have<br \/>\nprayed to the Holy Ghost, for hundreds of years, to have my suit just and honorable and<br \/>\nholy.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">18. But I shall search no further. Hundreds of millions of thy highest grades, who went<br \/>\ndown to the earth with me to fight thy battles, and who know the justness of my cause,<br \/>\nwill, at a word from me, withdraw from thy kingdom, and join me in an enterprise of my<br \/>\nown.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">19. I shall await patiently for thy reply.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">20. But Gabriel received no reply to his message. And so, in course of time, he<br \/>\ncalled together ten thousand angel warriors, and they assembled in a place called,<br \/>\nKalla-Hored, the place of seven steps, in hada. Gabriel spake before them, saying:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">21. Here will I establish my kingdom of heaven, and forever. I will show this false<br \/>\nKriste, what I can do. Mark ye, the great power of a God is to establish a good<br \/>\nfoothold on the earth. The natural increase will soon populate a heavenly kingdom.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">22. I will raise me up a prophet and seer of mine own on the earth, and establish a<br \/>\nnew doctrine amongst mortals. Behold, I have a sword that will cut to pieces<br \/>\nLooeamong&#8217;s kingdom on earth. For, listen! In the old Eguptian libraries are books<br \/>\nand tablets and manuscripts, that will show the perversity of the Constantine bible.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">23. Now, when I have established my prophet, I will cause mortal legions of Arabin&#8217;yans<br \/>\nto possess these libraries, especially Alexandria&#8217;s. And I will raise up mortal scholars,<br \/>\nwho shall establish the truth of my prophet&#8217;s doctrines, and the falsity of this false Kriste&#8217;s<br \/>\ndoctrines; and I will thus overturn his earthly kingdom, and possess all these mortal<br \/>\nregions myself, to be mine forever!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">24. After that manner, the angel, Gabriel, boasted. And he made the ten thousand his<br \/>\nHoly Council, and from amongst them he appointed marshals, captains, generals, heralds<br \/>\nand officers in general. And they built a throne in heaven unto Gabriel, and called it, the<br \/>\nT<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">HRONE OF <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">K<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ALLA<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">-H<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ORED<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">; and he went and sat thereon, and then crowned himself,<br \/>\nG<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ABRIEL<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">, G<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">OD OF <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">H<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">EAVEN AND <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">E<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ARTH<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">25. And then he crowned ten Lords, to wit: Ateiniv, Le Chung, Tudol, Raim, Hakaya,<br \/>\nWochorf, Yademis, Stu&#8217;born, Wolf and Gussak. And Gabriel thereafter commenced the<br \/>\ninitiation of members to his kingdom. And there thus acceded to his heavenly place<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">upward of five hundred thousand angels every day, and this continued until Kalla<br \/>\ncontained more than eight hundred million angel subjects.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">26. Of these, certain selections were made, according to grade, who were appointed as<br \/>\nofficers over the rest; and immediately they were put to work, building heavenly<br \/>\nmansions, and constructing streets and roads, and all things required in an exalted heaven,<br \/>\nand in the meantime Gabriel&#8217;s palace and throne were extended and beautified beyond<br \/>\ndescription.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">27. Gabriel knew the power of rites and ceremonies, and he provided unto his heavenly<br \/>\nkingdom accordingly, so that his people were kept in a constant state of excitement,<br \/>\nbecause of his wonderful inventions. So that millions and millions of them truly believed<br \/>\nhe was the veritable Creator of heaven and earth, thus in form of an angel.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">28. Gabriel perceived this, and for these he provided places of trust and nearness to him,<br \/>\nthat his miraculous power might be the better strengthened with the unbelieving.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">29. Now, the time came when Gabriel&#8217;s kingdom was sufficiently established, and he<br \/>\nbegan to provide for his great scheme to establish himself with mortals, that their spirits<br \/>\nafter death might be brought to his kingdom. For such is the order of Jehovih&#8217;s creation,<br \/>\nthat whosoever man worshippeth whilst he is on earth, to that God will his spirit float<br \/>\nafter death; and without resistance become a dutiful slave, not knowing there be other<br \/>\nGods and other heavens.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">30. And Gabriel made Ateiniv Chief Lord of Lords to go down to the earth, and find a<br \/>\nmortal capable of the required inspiration. And he gave to Ateiniv to be his co-laborers,<br \/>\nYademis, Stu&#8217;born, and Wolf, and with them, at their call, three hundred million warrior<br \/>\nangels.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">31. And with this host, Ateiniv departed for the earth, for Arabin&#8217;ya; and as he went forth<br \/>\nhe dropped of his hosts, at certain distances, groups of angels, which formed the line of<br \/>\nlight from Gabriel down to the earth.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>God&#8217;s Book of Eskra Chapter 49 CHAPTER 49 ORIGIN OF MOHAMMEDANISM. 1.
