Book of Es, Daughter of Jehovih<\/strong>, Chapters 1 and 2<\/span><\/p>\n

BEING A HEAVENLY HISTORY OF THE EARTH AND HER HEAVENS AND OF ETHEREA,
\nSINCE <\/span>FOUR <\/span>HUNDRED <\/span>YEARS <\/span>AGO, <\/span>DOWN <\/span>TO <\/span>THE <\/span>DAWN <\/span>OF <\/span>THE KOSMON ERA.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

CHAPTER 1
\n<\/span>1. When Jehovih brought the great serpent (solar phalanx) along the road of Vorkum, in
\netherea, behold, the earth passed into the light of the Arc of Kosmon, rising upward,
\nhigher and higher in the dawn thereof.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. To His etherean Gods and Goddesses, Jehovih said: As ye have founded arcs of light
\nin my etherean heavens, to determine the travel of My corporeal worlds, so shall My
\nGod of the earth inspire mortals to build light-houses for man’s ships that travel on the
\noceans. And they that travel in the ships, and they on the land shall know when a ship
\nneareth the port, even as ye behold My traveling earth approaching the place of kosmon.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. For this shall be an illustration unto mortals that I have appointed cycles of times and
\ndawns of times, with Gods and Goddesses to superintend My creations in tenderness and
\nlove. (Lest peradventure man become despondent, saying: Alas, Jehovih provided not in
\nwisdom commensurate with the magnificence of His creations.)
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Behold, the time draweth near when the nations of the earth shall course around the
\nwhole earth in ships, crossing the seas and oceans, to all the places I created.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. And those that have built in one place shall no longer say: This is our country.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. For I will no more have the nations of the earth locked up unto themselves; nor one
\ncontinent exclusive to one people; nor one ocean, nor sea, nor port, nor river, for any
\nnation or tribe of men.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. They shall know that the whole earth is Mine, and all the waters of the earth, and the
\nair of the firmament; and that I created them for all My people, to receive them, and enjoy
\nthem unto Mine own glory.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. They shall throw open their places, and say to one another: Welcome, my brother.
\nWheresoever Jehovih prompteth thee to dwell, be it so with thee, and I will give unto thee
\nalso.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Now, it shall come to pass, when the different nations and peoples begin to travel from
\none country to another, they will scornfully say of each other: Thou heathen; thou outside
\nbarbarian!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. For they will judge with men’s eyes, and with men’s understanding; not
\ncomprehending the magnificence of the plans of My resurrections, which I provided unto
\nthem through My Gods and Goddesses.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. As in former cycles, I sent unto the nations separately; so in kosmon, I shall not send
\nseparately, but unto the whole world. As in former cycles, I sent leaders and commanding
\nGods; so in kosmon, I shall not send either earthly leaders or a worshipful God or Lord.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. When man was in great darkness, I sent Saviors and deliverers unto him. And My
\nSaviors taught man, by certain commandments and by prayers, how he should live, to be
\nsaved from sin.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. But in kosmon I shall send nor Savior, nor archangel, with a loud-sounding trumpet;
\nbut I will come to man’s understanding through the light of Mine own wisdom. And man
\nshall interpret My words as I speak to his own soul; and such shall be his sacred words.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>14. Man shall pray to Me, and speak to Me in his own way, and not according to the
\ndictation of any man, nor priest, nor sacred book, save the book of My creations.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

15. Neither shall man longer accept any of the former revelations, and bow down unto
\nthem; for, as I was sufficient unto the ancients to speak to them things that were good for
\nthem, even so will I speak to My chosen of the kosmon era that which is good for them
\nalso.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

16. My heavens shall be revealed unto them, as promised by My prophets of old, and man
\nshall be taught how to see and comprehend My heavens with his own judgment, and not
\naccording to what any other man saith My revelations are.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

17. Behold, in the ancient days, I provided Saviors and rab’bahs and priests to pray for
\nman, and confess him of his sins; but these things will I put away, and no one shall pray
\nfor the living, nor confess him of his sins, by words or signs or ceremonies.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

18. But every man shall pray for himself, in his own way, and confess his sins unto Me
\nfor forgiveness.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

19. And instead of praying in words for his brother, saying: Jehovih, help him, he shall go
\nin person, and help him with his own hands.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

20. Neither shall man sit idly and say: O Jehovih, help Thou me; come and save me!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

21. But he shall rise up in the majesty I created him, saying: Behold me, Jehovih! I will
\nsave myself. Guide Thou me, O Father!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

22. And he shall walk forth, proudly in My sight, scorning evil and sin, doing with all his
\nmight for his own salvation. And I will come unto him, for of such shall be My chosen.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

23. In kosmon, I shall not come to make a servant of man unto man; nor to make him
\nafraid, when the priest speaketh. I will make man hold up his head fearlessly before men,
\nin remembrance of his daily covenant unto Me, his Creator, in the practice of
\nrighteousness.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

24. In that day, the preacher and the priest shall be of little avail; My standard shall be of
\ngood works, and not of words.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

25. Neither shall My hand be unto individuals only, but unto nations, kingdoms and
\nempires.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

26. Whatsoever people embrace Me, the same will I embrace also. And a sign shall be
\nunto them: their ports and lands and waters shall be thrown open unto all other people.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

27. And they shall prosper, and become numerous, thriving in peace and plenty. And My
\nHoly angels from My exalted heavens shall minister unto them, and they shall grow in
\nwisdom, good works and in learning and in inventions and discoveries.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

28. But whatsoever people will not embrace Me, the same will I not embrace. Their ports
\nshall be bound up, and their lands and waters shall not be opened unto others. Verily,
\nshall they attempt to be an exclusive people; and I will withdraw My exalted angels away
\nfrom them, and they shall be encompassed with darkness.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

29. These signs shall be before the world as My living testimony; and My prophets shall
\nuse these signs in determining which nations and peoples My hand covereth over to
\nprotect, and save them.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

30. My prophets shall remember the countries of old which strove against Me and My
\nchosen, how they went down in darkness.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

31. When My dawn of a cycle cometh, I ever put away the ancient doctrines, and the
\nestablished Gods and Saviors; none have ever stayed My hand. Now, behold, man shall<\/span>
\nlook about in the kosmon era and see My foot-prints in the ancient times, how I
\nministered unto the races of men. And he shall apply with judgment the history of other
\ndays.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

32. This also will I accomplish: Kingdoms and nations shall judge their own strength by
\ntheir rigid laws and standing armies.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

33. And they shall look upon My people, and say: Alas, they are weak; they have neither
\nkings, nor armies, nor rigid laws!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

34. But My prophets shall remember My chosen of old, who had faith in Me. And
\nMy prophets shall say to the kings with mighty armies: Behold, ye are the weakest;
\nand those that have no armies are the strongest. And their prophecies shall not fail.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

35. That which applieth in My heavens of the earth, shall apply on the earth; that, which
\napplieth on the earth, shall apply in the heavens thereof.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

36. The bondage of kings and queens and emperors and rich men and leaders of men,
\nshall be with them in the heavens of this earth. Until they have undone the tyranny they
\nhad over others, their heavens shall be without liberty to them. Whom they sought to lead
\non earth, they shall lead in heaven; neither shall there be exalted resurrection for them,
\nuntil the lowest of their subjects have risen before them.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

37. And they that live isolated and alone on the earth, shall be isolated and alone in the
\nheavens of the earth. Man shall learn that affiliation and brotherhood unto others on earth,
\nshall find affiliation and brotherhood in the heavens of the earth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

38. Whosoever openeth his soul in love and harmony unto others on earth, shall find love
\nand harmony in heaven.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

39. And the same rule shall apply to nations and peoples: according to their love and
\nharmony and the breadth of their liberality unto other nations and peoples, even so shall
\nbe the heavens of the earth, whither they shall migrate after death.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

40. All these things of heaven and earth shall be made plain to man in kosmon; with his
\nown eyes he shall behold the justice of his Creator.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

CHAPTER 2
\n<\/span>1. To His etherean Gods and Goddesses, Jehovih said: Behold, in twelve generations My
\ndawn of kosmon will reach the earth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Go ye down to the earth, and provide mortals and angels unto the work of My cycle.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. In other times, My Gods and Goddesses said unto man: Thou shalt, and thou shalt not.
\nBehold, in kosmon, ye shall declare the glory of My works and the plans of My heavens
\nunto the nations of the earth. In all My fullness shall ye declare the glories of My
\ncreations.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. But ye shall not say to this man nor to that man: Thou shalt believe, nor that thou shalt
\nnot believe.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Neither shall ye say to man: Thou shalt do this, and thou shalt not do that.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Such were the ancient cycles and the custom of My revelators; but such shall not be the
\ncustom of My revelators in this day.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. But man, having heard and seen, shall judge what he will do; he shall believe, or not
\nbelieve; and do, or not do, according to his own judgment.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Because I hold man responsible, even so should he have liberty to choose.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>9. And if he strive to choose Me, by doing righteously, he shall not fail.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. Though he accept none of the ancient doctrines, nor rites, nor ceremonies, nor Gods,
\nnor Lords, nor Saviors, but strive for Me in doing good unto others, he shall be My
\nchosen, even though he accept not My name.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. Liberty, first of all, unto all people; then discipline and harmony, and then the
\nimprovement of all the talents I created with all.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. Next to this, to have no leader, nor any one to think for another; nor to abandon one’s
\nown judgment contrary to wisdom and truth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. But to contend not, nor to be stubborn and positive as to the righteousness of one’s
\nown opinion. For I created no two men to see alike the same thing on earth or in heaven.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. As to which matters, the highest wisdom is to suffer all men to have full liberty to
\nthink on all subjects in their own way.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

15. In the olden times, they had inquisitors, to watch as to what another did, or said, or
\nintimated; now, behold, in kosmon, exactly the opposite of this shall be the behavior of
\nMy chosen.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

16. Though man seeth his neighbor do differently from what he himself would, he shall
\nlook the other way; or, if he speak to him of the matter, it shall be with respect, even as he
\nwould to his own mother or father.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

17. And for any shortness of speech, or error, or evil expression, man shall not reprove
\nhis neighbor, nor find fault with him, more than he would with his own mother, or father,
\nor sister, or brother. Rather shall he strive, not to see, nor hear the shortness of any man.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

18. They shall be taught to see the good that is in others; to speak of the delights of all My
\nliving creatures.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

19. To reprove with words, to circumspect the doings of one’s neighbors, their opinions
\nand behavior, these shall I put away in kosmon.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

20. Neither shall one man advise another without becoming bound to him that followeth
\nhis advice. This, also, shall man be made to understand in kosmon.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

21. In other cycles, I sent My loo’is to raise up certain mortals, through whom I could
\nreveal My commandments unto others. In kosmon, behold, I shall not raise up any great
\nleader-forth; My light shall fall upon thousands and thousands. Of many varieties of
\ntalents shall be My chosen in that day.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

22. For which reason, when ye have descended to the earth, ye shall appoint loo’is
\nunto millions of mortals, and they shall raise up a numerous offspring unto Me.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

23. And it shall be born with them to see and feel, that a new era is at hand; and they shall
\nbe born skeptical to the ancient doctrines, Gods, Lords and Saviors.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

24. Nevertheless, they shall be the best of men, and wise and charitable and most
\nconsiderate of the opinions of others.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

25. And it shall come to pass, that when the western continent is inhabited across
\nfrom east to west, all the earth will be circumscribed with men of wisdom and learning.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

26. And the year of the circumscribing shall be the beginning of kosmon.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

27. And the heavens of the earth shall be opened, and the angels thereof shall descend to
\nthe earth, and make themselves known to mortals; even through them which your loo’is
\nshall have born unto the work.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

28. And from that time forth, the old order shall decline, to be put away forever; and the
\nnew order shall take its place, to triumph over all the earth.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>29. Thereafter, shall the virtue of preaching come to an end; but practice, in fulfilling
\ngood works and living up to My commandments, shall be all that will avail for the
\nestablishing of My kingdom on earth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

30. Go ye forth, My beloved; fulfill the seasons of the earth, that My people may rejoice
\nin their lives, in peace and love, for the glory of My heavens, which I created for them.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
