For three hundred years prior to the above transactions, the four false Gods had been in<br \/>\nwar to a limited extent in their heavens, and for certain earth possessions also.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. In Chine&#8217;ya, the Ka&#8217;yuans (Confucians) had made great progress, to the injury of the<br \/>\nfalse Brahma, Ennochissa. But the latter had pushed his people into Vind&#8217;yu and Parsi&#8217;e.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. On the part of Kabalactes, the false Budha, he had pushed his people into Chine&#8217;ya and<br \/>\nParsi&#8217;e also. And in many parts of Vind&#8217;yu, these Budhists had treated the Brahmins with<br \/>\ngreat slaughter.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. But neither of the above false Gods was a match for Thoth, alias God-Gabriel. Under<br \/>\nthe name and doctrines of Mohammed, he had made great inroads upon the<br \/>\npossessions of the other two false Gods, both as to the earth and the heavens thereof.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. And yet, on the other hand, Looeamong, the false Kriste, had taken advantage of all the<br \/>\nother three false Gods. He had found mortal emissaries in Britain (western Uropa) whom<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">he had inspired under the name, E<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">AST <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">I<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">NDIA <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">C<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">OMPANY<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">. To these he had said: Come, I will<br \/>\nlead you where there is great wealth and most luxurious enjoyment. Behold, ye shall<br \/>\npossess the place, and overcome the heathen of a rich country.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. So, Looeamong led them, and they took with them missionaries and bibles and swords<br \/>\nand cannons and war-ships. And when they arrived at Vind&#8217;yu, Looeamong, through his<br \/>\nangel hosts, said unto them: Tell these heathen, ye are worshipers of the Lamb of Peace;<br \/>\nthat ye have come in love and for righteousness&#8217;sake. And, behold, they will receive you.<br \/>\nAnd it shall come to pass, when ye are once within, ye shall fall upon them, and destroy<br \/>\nthem by the million, men, women and children. And ye shall fall upon their aqueducts,<br \/>\nwhich irrigate the lands, and ye shall destroy them also; and, behold, millions of these<br \/>\nheathen shall starve every year, because of the famines that shall surely come upon them.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. Now, all these came to pass; the idolaters of Looeamong did fall upon the<br \/>\nBudhists&#8217;earthly possessions, and did possess the land of Vind&#8217;yu, and, in the name of<br \/>\nKriste and the Holy Ghost, did kill seven million men, women and children.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. And they also destroyed the aqueducts, whereby famines came upon the Vind&#8217;yuans, so<br \/>\nthat, in course of time, thirty millions more perished of starvation.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. Now, although Kabalactes thus lost, in a great measure, his earthly possessions, he still<br \/>\nmaintained the heavens of Vind&#8217;yu, so that Looeamong really gained but few souls, in<br \/>\nheaven, after all his destructions.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. Looeamong had also led his mortal emissaries into Chine&#8217;ya, in hope to possess that<br \/>\ncountry also. He had said to them: Go thither, and enforce upon them the opium trade.<br \/>\nAnd it shall come to pass, they will become a drunken and worthless people, and ye shall<br \/>\nfall upon them, and overcome them, and possess all their country, wherein there are<br \/>\nstored great riches.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. And the idolaters of the false Kriste did fall upon the Chine&#8217;yans and enforce the<br \/>\nopium trade, and did also make many of them a drunken and worthless people. And after<br \/>\nthey were thus drunk, the idolaters of the false Kriste raised the cry: Behold, the drunken<br \/>\nheathen! The indulgers in opium!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. Nevertheless, the Ka&#8217;yuans of Chine&#8217;ya were a mighty power, and they baffled<br \/>\nLooeamong&#8217;s emissaries in all further encroachments.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. Now, although Looeamong had been beaten by the wisdom of God, in possessing the<br \/>\ncolonies of Guatama, nevertheless, Looeamong still hoped to regain the country to<br \/>\nhimself. And to carry out his designs, he sent two thousand million angel warriors to<br \/>\naccomplish the destruction of the Algonquin tribes that inhabited the country.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">14. And this also came to pass, the idolaters of Looeamong did fall upon the Algonquins,<br \/>\nand caused three millions of them to be put to death, men, women and children.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1st Quarter Moon Book of Es Chapter 14 CHAPTER 14 1.
