CHAPTER 13
\n<\/span>THE REPUBLIC ESTABLISHED.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Es said: Since three hundred years, the loo’is of God’s allotment to the earth, had been
\nproviding the generations of men unto the coming work of God.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. And through these had God, Jehovih’s Son, raised up one thousand two hundred men,
\nto be directly under the inspiration of the second resurrection, for establishing an
\nemancipated government for mortals.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. And these one thousand two hundred men were raised to grades above sixty, and some
\nof them to eighty.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>4. Chief of these men raised up by God, to establish the foundation of Jehovih’s kingdom
\nwith mortals, were the following, all of whom stood above grade eighty, to wit:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Paine, Jefferson, Adams, Franklin, Caroll, Hancock and Washington.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Into the hands of these seven men did Jehovih, through God, His Son, place the
\nleadership of the mortal hosts; and they were under the guidance of Jehovih’s Lord,
\nYotahiza.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. And the Lord caused Paine, to proclaim the new doctrines, as against Looeamong and
\nthe sacred books, on which the inquisitions had been carried out.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. These, then, were the doctrines of Paine, inspired by the Lord, Jehovih’s Son, to wit:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. One, the Creator, who is Almighty, matchless in wisdom, truth, power and unity of
\npurpose; the author of all things, on the earth and on all other worlds, seen and unseen.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. That the soul of man is immortal and everlasting, and shall ultimately attain to peace
\nand joy in the heavens of the Almighty.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. That, according to man’s good or evil deeds, words, thoughts and actions whilst
\non earth, even so shall he inherit in heaven, light or darkness, joy or unhappiness.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. That all the world is my country, and the same right alike to all men.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. To do good, with all of one’s wisdom and strength, is the highest religion.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. That man hath a natural right, above all kings, priests and sacred writings, to serve his
\nCreator in his own way.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

15. That this is an age of reason, in which all men should be inspired, to read and
\nthink, and judge with their own judgment and not through any priest or church or Savior.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

16. That the doctrine of a Savior is unjust; that no honest man should accept another’s
\ndying for him.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

17. That the so-called sacred books are not the writings of the Creator; that their
\nmultiplicity of defects prove them to have been manufactured by corruptible authors.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

18. That, in practice, the said sacred books have been used by unprincipled priests to
\npromote wars, inquisitions, tyranny and destruction.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

19. That man should rise up in his might to embrace his Creator, by the practice of good
\nworks, and by promoting brotherly love toward all men; and by charity and independence
\nelicit the protection, the pride and the glory of the Almighty.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

20. The doctrines of God, Paine proclaimed publicly; and they were printed, and
\ncirculated amongst the inhabitants of Guatama.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

21. And it came to pass, that they fell into the hands of such men and women as had
\nbeen previously prepared by God to receive them. And these people applauded the
\nnew doctrines to so great an extent that the colonies repudiated the Divine right
\n(Divan laws) of kings to govern without the consent of the governed.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

22. Looeamong, the false Kriste, perceived the design of God, Jehovih’s Son, and
\nimmediately sent down to the earth, to Guatama, two thousand angel warriors, to
\noverthrow Paine’s doctrines, and to precipitate the colonies into war against the home
\ngovernment in western Uropa.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

23. So, war in Guatama, on earth, and in the heavens thereof, set in, mortals against
\nmortals and angels against angels.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

24. The Lord, Yotahiza, now assigned the army of the inquisition, the seven thousand
\nangels sent of God, to be the protecting hosts to the seven leaders of the Guatama revolt.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

25. Besides these angels, who were generals and captains of the hosts, there were of non<\/span>
\ncommissioned angel officers, two thousand seven hundred and eighty-four, who had also
\nbeen martyred as to earth-life, by scourging, and by the rack, and by being pulled in
\nquarters, and by being burnt, who were distributed amongst the mortal armies of soldiers.
\nAnd these angel officers had angel armies and companies, disciplined and quartered in
\nthe camps of the mortals with the soldiers.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

26. Such, then, were the inspiring hosts, varying in number from six millions to twelve
\nmillions, who remained with the soldiers of the republic during the war, day and night,
\ninspiring them to fortitude, and manipulating them to give them health and strength and
\nendurance.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

27. God spake to the angel commander of these hosts, saying: Though thy hosts inspire
\nthese mortals to liberty as to earthly things, yet thou shalt also take advantage of this
\nopportunity to sow the seed of higher spiritual light amongst them. Remember, then, the
\nsermon of the All High: There is but one Great Spirit, Jehovih. And this shall thy hosts
\nforever inspire the mortals with.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

28. For seven years the war lasted, and during all the while, the earthly commander,
\nWashington, was under the guardianship of the commander of the angel hosts. And there
\nwere detailed to guard Washington, day and night, one thousand angels. And though he
\nwas shot at, and in many ways sought for to be destroyed, these angels saved him, even
\ncatching in their hands the bullets that were fired at him.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

29. And in like manner were many other mortal leaders and privates in the war protected
\nand saved from harm by the angels.<\/span><\/p>\n

30. And yet all this while the angels of Looeamong fought on the other side, endeavoring
\nto pull away the guardian angels, and so make the mortal leaders vulnerable.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

31. But these angels were lower in grade and less potent, and, withal, not so enthusiastic,
\nfor they had not suffered martyrdom.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

32. Jehovih hath said: Rather let a man glory in martyrdom for righteousness’sake; for
\nherein he taketh high resolves against evil; which resolves are a great power to the soul
\nwhen it entereth heaven.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

33. And it came to pass that the republic was established.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

34. And God caused the commander of the angels who had accomplished this work, to
\ncall his hosts together, that they might hear the voice of Jehovih. And there thus
\nassembled eighteen million three hundred and forty thousand in number, in an
\nextemporized heaven above the Haguan mountains, where the chiefs of Paradise had
\nalready prepared an altar to Jehovih for the occasion.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

35. Of the higher grades from other plateaux, were here assembled in the sacred
\ncircle, seventy million angels, to promote the Voice. Of which matters God had
\npreviously sent word to Aroqu, that a chain of light might be made to the upper heavens.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

36. Now, when the angels of the inquisition were thus assembled before God, and duly
\nplaced by the marshals, God caused the light to be lowered, so that they might rejoice
\nrather than suffer because of its brilliancy.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

37. And when God sat on the throne, and the es’enaurs had chanted unto Jehovih glory
\nfor having founded the republic of mortals, a ray of light was seen descending
\nfrom the upper realms, and it extended down to the throne of God, where now,
\non all sides, the illumination was in splendor. Presently, just above the throne,
\na single star of light was formed, and out of this came the Voice of Jehovih, saying:<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>38. Peace, My beloved. The way is open: liberty to the conscience of mortals is founded
\non earth. Ye have lifted them above the bondage of Gods.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

39. Because ye were cut down before ye had finished your labor on earth, I suffered ye to
\ncome back to mortals to complete your own aspirations.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

40. Because ye united with one another in companies and phalanxes for a good work,
\ninstead of working single-handed, ye are now admitted into the second resurrection of My
\nkingdoms.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

41. By the light of My throne are ye this day absolved from the bondage of earth and first
\nresurrection.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

42. The Voice ceased; but God spake unto his marshals, saying: Provide ye an avalanza
\nsufficient for the ascension of these my beloved angels, and take them to the fields and
\nforests of Attusasabak, in the Ortheon plateau, where I have already provided them ample
\nresidences.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

43. And, after they are delivered, grade them, and give unto them suitable instructors
\nand companions, that in due time they may become Brides and Bridegrooms to
\nJehovih, and ascend to the emancipated kingdoms in the etherean worlds.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

44. Suffer them now to pass before the throne, that they may receive badges from
\nthe Most High! For these will be to them a connection with the exalted kingdoms.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

45. The marshals then filed them past the throne, and there fell, from the heavens above,
\nupon them, badges of immortal light, unchangeable.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

46. And the builders in Yutis brought them an avalanza, and they went therein, to the
\nsound of the singing of three millions of voices in Jehovih’s praise. And when they were
\nwithin, God again spake to them, saying:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

47. Ye go now far off from the earth. But as ye freed this land unto itself, and now go
\naway, behold, I will call ye back again before another hundred years, to free the people
\nfrom the doctrines and creeds of the ancients. No God nor Lord nor Savior shall be
\nenforced in this land! Till then, Jehovih be with you all, and give you joy and happiness!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

48. Thereupon, the officers of the avalanza set it in motion, rising upward. And the
\nmusicians, they that remained and they that ascended, sang and trumpeted until the fireship ascended out of sight.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
