CHAPTER 8
\n<\/span>OF GOD IN PARADISE.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Es said: After the Light of Jehovih came to God, saying: Go, provide mortals to cross
\nthe ocean, to build up the western continent, God ceased striving to redeem the four
\nheavenly kingdoms of the four false Gods, but directed his energies, to regain a broader
\nearth-anchorage, for sake of Jehovih’s kingdom.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. So, God sent down from Paradise, one Melkazad, crowned as Lord, with ten thousand
\nangels in his command to inspire migration to Guatama, and to make the country known
\nto the eastern peoples.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. And Melkazad, with his hosts, came and ascertained the grade and choice of mortals
\nfor such purpose. And Melkazad and his hosts did raise up Columbo (Columbus), a
\nmortal from Genoa, together with crews, sufficient in number, whom they inspired to go
\nwith ships to the westward, across the ocean, in search of the lay and plan of the world.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. And it came to pass, that Columbo, thus inspired of God, through his holy angels,
\ndid discover the western continent, not knowing, he was under inspiration.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. It was shortly after this, that the angel hosts from etherea came down to the throne of
\nGod in Paradise, to labor with him in providing for the approach of the kosmon era.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Now, whilst God and his angels in the heavenly kingdom of Paradise were rejoicing
\nbecause of the success of Columbo, which had been reported by Melkazad to God,
\nbehold, in that same time it was, that the etherean ship of Litabakathrava arrived.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. And God received the ethereans with great rejoicing; and, after due ceremonies, God
\ndeclared a recreation of three days, that the angels of Paradise might rejoice, before<\/span>
\nJehovih, because the a’ji of so many hundreds of years was breaking away, and because of
\nColumbo’s success, and because of the coming of the ethereans.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Great, indeed, were the rejoicings, the praise, the music and glee of the thousand
\nmillion angels of Paradise.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. At the end of three days, the trumpet called the Holy Council of God, to resume labor
\nbefore the throne. Then, the marshals from various places in Gods kingdoms called their
\nstudents and laborers, and withdrew to their several departments. The Holy Council
\nresumed their places before God, and God ascended the throne, and order was.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. Then, God called the ethereans, Chonling, Thetchaya, Che Sin, Bornothetes, Atavia
\nand Thotagawawa to come and honor the throne. Whereupon, these visiting Gods did as
\ncommanded.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. Then spake God, saying: What tribute, O Jehovih, can I pay to Thy Son,
\nLitabakathrava? For the light and glory of his presence provide Thou unto me and my
\nHoly Council.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. Thereupon, all the Holy Council, one million, rose to their feet, and then all the Gods
\nrose up also. God said: Come thou, honor my throne.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. Then, Litabakathrava walked up, and sat on the throne of God. When he was seated,
\nGod commanded all the rest to be seated. And thereupon, Litabakathrava rose up, and
\nsaid:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. Thou hast given me great honor, O God of the earth and her heavens. May the light of
\nthe Person of Jehovih dawn upon all the kingdoms of heaven and earth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

15. Yet, O God, be not puffed up with the hope of sudden success. I have seen many
\ncorporeal worlds arrive at the kosmon era. But it is like a new birth, brought forth in pain,
\nand with much labor.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

16. Thou hast yet several generations of mortals to be born ere kosmon come. The four
\ndark corners of the lodge will bound upon thee, to destroy the work of thy hand and of
\nJehovih’s.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

17. The four false Gods will fight thee to the death; only till they go down in hell, can
\nJehovih’s kingdom come.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

18. On all the planetary worlds it is ever the same; certain four false Gods rise up to
\npossess the corporeal worlds and her heavens.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

19. They will profess truth, but practice falsehood; profess peace, but practice war. They
\nwill incite mortals and angels to all manner of evil for sake of thwarting Jehovih’s Person
\nand proceedings. Yea, they will even yet assume that they themselves are Jehovih, the
\nveritable Creator. And they will inspire mortals, to consider them as such.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

20. And when thy people profess Jehovih and not them, behold, they will inspire others to
\nfall upon thy people to destroy them, or to torture them with great suffering.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

21. Nevertheless, it shall come to pass with thee, Jehovih shall triumph over all the earth
\nand in the heavens of the earth. Men and angels shall be free, and none shall make them
\nafraid.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

22. Litabakathrava ceased, and sat down, and suddenly a great shining light gathered
\nabove his head, and a Voice spake out of the light saying:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

23. All the earth is Mine, and the waters, and the air above the earth. These are members
\nof My body and Person. Man I created not to possess them, but to dwell thereon and
\ntherein. Unto all men alike gave I of these inheritances; nor to any man a part, nor to any<\/span>
\nnation or people a part.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

24. But with liberty and privilege unto these, gave I man the right to draw sustenance and
\nsupport.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

25. All men are My children; into conscious being created I them alike, privileged unto
\nall the earth, and the waters of the earth, and the air in the firmament above the earth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

26. Brothers and sisters created I them; of various tribes and races and colors and sizes,
\nbut nevertheless, in Mine own way I created them, every one for a glory in the way I
\nmade them.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

27. In the early days, behold, I kept man on certain continents and places, that I might
\nunfold him in the glory for which I designed him.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

28. But in kosmon, I open the gates of the oceans, and the seas, and the rivers, and I say
\nunto all My people: Come forth, behold your brethren; go ye into this country, and into
\nthat, and learn wisdom from that which I have proved in the family of My house. Be ye
\nprofitable unto one another, in the experience and practice of My hand upon all peoples.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

29. In one, tallness; in another, shortness; in one, sound teeth and bones and well-formed
\nlimbs; in another, sagacity; in one, a dense population and well-tilled lands; in another,
\nplain food and long life; for in kosmon, man shall go abroad into all countries, one nation
\nwith another; and they shall profit by wisdom, to bring forth a new race with all the
\nglories selected from the whole.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

30. Neither shall man be bound more by the doctrines of this God or that God, or by this
\nSavior or that Savior, nor by any of the ancient books, nor by inspirations of the olden
\ntimes. But he shall know how to obtain inspirations from My Gods, and My heavens for
\nhis own good, and for his own wisdom.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

31. Neither shall one nation judge another, and cry out, heathen; nor one people judge
\nanother and cry out, pagan.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

32. Behold, I alone shall judge; My mark is upon all those that engage in war, or who
\nkeep warriors; or who keep forts and arsenals, and use weapons of death; and upon all
\nwho kill, and eat the flesh of anything I created alive; for all such are pagan and heathen
\nin My sight.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

33. Neither shall they go from nation to nation to find evil, but to find goodness and
\nwisdom and virtue.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

34. My Gods shall minister unto all nations and peoples to these ends, to bring them
\ntogether in peace and harmony, to open the ports of those that have been seclusive nations
\nand peoples, to persuade them to put away war and the glory of destruction, to make
\nnations and peoples acceptable to one another.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

35. The Voice of the Light ceased, and all about the throne of God was like a sea of
\ngolden fire.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

36. The time for the departure of Litabakathrava and his hosts had arrived. Accordingly,
\nhe went down, and sat on the foot of the throne, and then, God descended, and took his
\nhand, saying: Arise, Orian Chief, Jehovih’s Son, and go thy way. The Father calleth thee
\nand thy people.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

37. So Litabakathrava passed down into the arena, and saluted on the sign,
\nD<\/span>AWN OF <\/span>K<\/span>OSMON<\/span>, and God answered in the sign, F<\/span>ORTIFIED IN <\/span>J<\/span>EHOVIH\u2019S <\/span>N<\/span>AME<\/span>!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

38. Litabakathrava and his hosts then went into the otevan, the monster ship, with its
\nphotosphere, large as a continent. And presently, whilst the es’enaurs and the trumpeters<\/span>
\nchanted, P<\/span>RAISE TO THE <\/span>A<\/span>LMIGHTY<\/span>, the vessel started from its foundation, and rose slowly
\nupward, applauded by the thousands of millions assembled in Paradise.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
