Book of Wars Against Jehovih Chapters X and XI<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Chapter X <\/span><\/p>\n

1. Satan went to all the Lords and Lordesses in hada, and said unto each and every one:
\nThine shall be exaltation without labor; because thou art wise, others shall serve thee; and
\ngreat shall be thy glory. As thou hast witnessed the rites and ceremonies, in Craoshivi, of
\nthe high-raised Gods, even so shall it be with thee. Behold, the heavens of the earth shall
\nbecome the brightest and most glorious of all heavens. Be thou patient, enduring
\nanything, for thou shalt surely, in time to come, be second to none, the highest of Gods!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. And thy name shall be sung in the ceremonies, and shall be honored even in the far-off
\nheavens. It shall be said of thee, thou art amongst the youngest of Gods, that by thine own
\nself-will mastered all things so suddenly that even the oldest of Gods stood appalled at
\nthy daring.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Be thou patient, and seeming most humble, and bide thou thy time; thou wert born to
\nbe a leader even amongst Gods. Be secret; disclosing naught.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Satan said to Anuhasaj, even Lord God: Be thou dignified, and by thy much-professed
\nlove, like a father unto all the others. And it shall come to pass that they will thrust these
\ngreat dominions upon thee.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Now whilst these matters were with these Lords, behold, in far-off Craoshivi Jehovih
\nspake to God on the throne, before the Council of Jehovih’s Son, saying: Because I
\nindulged thy Lords and Lordesses in prosperous places, they are becoming forgetful of
\nMe.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. For so I created man, in prosperity he idolizeth himself. He saith: Behold me! What
\ngreat things I can do: Yea, I am wise; I perceive the nothingness of the Creator! And
\nhe buildeth to his own ruin. I created life and death all around him, that he might learn
\nMy power ere he quitteth the earth. And hada I made wide, with a place of ascent and
\na place of descent. Upward I placed My holy lights, saying: Come! Downward, I
\nmade darkness, saying: Beware! hell lieth hither! But they plunge into misery headlong.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>7. God said: What have they done, O Jehovih? Jehovih said: They are laying their heads
\ntogether to rebel against the manner of My everlasting kingdoms. Summon thou the Diva
\nbefore thee, and bid them speak outright as to what they desire.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. God sent messengers into all the divisions of the lowest heavens, to the kingdoms of
\nJehovih’s Lords and Lordesses, as the Father had commanded, summoning them to
\nCraoshivi. On the other hand:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Satan spake to Anuhasaj, the plotter of the mischief, saying: Lest God in Craoshivi get
\nwind of this matter, and so set at naught thy long-laid plans, send thou to him, saying:
\nGreeting, in love to thee, Son of Jehovih, God of the heavens of the earth. From the light
\nbefore me I am resolved to resign the Lord-dom. Search, therefore, and provide one in my
\nplace.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. Satan continued, to Anuhasaj: Send thou to thy Lords and Lordesses, saying: Greeting
\nin love to thee, Lord of Jehovih. I foresee that many will desire me to take the place of
\nGod of the earth and her heavens. Seek thou to relieve me of this, and choose one less
\nradical, that thou mayst the more fully endorse him. Behold, I am about to resign the
\nLord-dom, and desire to see thee.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. The Lords and Lordesses received the two communications at the same time; and they
\nseverally laid the matter before their Holy Councils; and great was the excitement therein.
\nThat which had been planned to be in secret was thus made public in all the hadas in a
\nday, before thousands of millions!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. At once the Lords and Lordesses hastened to Anuhasaj’s capital; and they were each
\nattended by ten thousand attendants.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. Now when they were assembled, perceiving that God in Craoshivi knew of the matter,
\nthey were by their own shame further incited to disobey the Divan summons, and at once
\nproceed to founding a consolidated kingdom, with Anuhasaj at the head. Anuhasaj made
\nbelieve he desired not the Godhead, and only agreed to serve provided they installed him
\nwith oaths of fidelity. And this they did.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. So, after a session of three days, Anuhasaj was elected and enthroned in Hored, a new
\nheavenly place, and crowned O<\/span>UR <\/span>G<\/span>OD <\/span>of the earth and her heavens, the V<\/span>ERY <\/span>L<\/span>ORD <\/span>G<\/span>OD
\nIN <\/span>J<\/span>EHOVIH. <\/span>Thus he became a false God.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

15. But they crowned him not with the true crown, for that was with God in Craoshivi;
\nbut they made one, creating it in the sacred circle. But since he could not be crowned by
\nthose beneath him, they were in a quandary how to proceed. Then satan spake to
\nAnuhasaj, saying: Command them to lie on their bellies in token of submission to thee,
\nand say to them: Lay the crown at my feet, and I will stand with my head bare; and when
\nye have prostrated yourselves, I will command the crown in my own name to rise up and
\nlie upon my head; and if it so rise, then know ye of a truth our work is the highest, best
\nwork.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

16. Anuhasaj then repeated this to the Lords and Lordesses, and they laid them down on
\ntheir bellies, each being anxious to show fidelity, in hope of exaltation. And when they
\nwere down and saw not, Anuhasaj, having not power in Light, said: Crown of these most
\nholy, wise Lords and Lordesses of heaven and earth, arise thou and lie on the head of him
\nwho shall have dominion on earth and in these heavens!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

17. And thereupon he stooped down on the sly, and with his own hand raised it up and
\ncrowned himself, and commanded the Lords to rise up. And lo and behold, some of the<\/span>
\nLords and Lordesses said they saw with the second sight of the soul, and that the crown
\nrose of its own accord, being under the will of the circle!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

18. And they clapped their hands, saying: A<\/span>LL <\/span>H<\/span>AIL<\/span>, O<\/span>UR <\/span>G<\/span>OD<\/span>! A<\/span>LL <\/span>H<\/span>AIL<\/span>, O<\/span>UR <\/span>G<\/span>OD<\/span>! A<\/span>LL
\n<\/span>H<\/span>AIL<\/span>, O<\/span>UR <\/span>G<\/span>OD<\/span>! Proclaiming him in the east and west and north and south.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

19. He responded: T<\/span>HE <\/span>L<\/span>ORD<\/span>, <\/span>YOUR <\/span>G<\/span>OD<\/span>, <\/span>REIGNETH<\/span>! Peace be unto you. Behold, the heavens
\nand earth are mine; be ye steadfast unto me, and ye shall be glorified in my name. Ye that
\nhave been Lords and Lordesses shall be Gods and Goddesses, with great power and with
\nmighty kingdoms. As I foresaw this, so have I provided for you beforehand. In this very
\ntime and place will I crown you and apportion you with great glory. Yet think not that this
\nis the last; it is but the first, and temporary until the new heavens are founded with
\nbroader boundaries.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chapter XI<\/span><\/p>\n

OF THE DEITY, ALIAS, DYAUS, ALIAS DE\u2018YUS, ALIAS DEUS;
\nORIGIN AND POWER IN THE HEAVENS AND ON EARTH.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Anuhasaj said: I, the Lord, your God, being the All Highest, through your choice,
\ndecree, for sake of harmony and concert in our labors, the establishment of a De’yus.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. As the Craoshivians have had a Diva (Divinity), so will I have a De’yus. And by virtue
\nof mine own authority I proclaim ye, my Lords and Lordesses, as the holy members
\nthereof.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. As the Diva hath been taught in these heavens, so also be the De’yus, whereof I assume
\nthe chief head.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. As the Diva had laws, so also shall our De’yus; and they shall be promulgated on
\nthe earth, and taught to mortals as the laws of De’yus (Deity). Therefore by my own
\nvoice I dissolve the Diva of heaven; and it shall not be from this time forth forever.
\nAnd whosoever of ye being members thereof, shall this day resign the Diva, and
\nsend word to the ruler of Craoshivi, for his benefit, and for his kingdom’s benefit.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. And the ruler of Craoshivi shall continue in his own place and kingdom; for it is his.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. And the ruler of Vara-pishanaha, called Ahura, shall continue in his own place and
\nkingdom, for it is his.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. First, then, I take unto myself Anubi, the Lord loved by you all, and he shall be my
\nassociate, and his title shall be M<\/span>ASTER OF THE <\/span>S<\/span>CALES OF <\/span>H<\/span>EAVEN<\/span>, for he shall determine
\nthe grades of the spirits and send them to their respective departments. On earth his title
\nshall be S<\/span>AVIOR OF <\/span>M<\/span>EN<\/span>, S<\/span>ON OF <\/span>D<\/span>E\u2019YUS<\/span>.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Second, thou, Hi-kas, shalt be R<\/span>ULER OVER <\/span>J<\/span>AFFETH <\/span>and its heavenly kingdom; and thy
\ntitle shall be T<\/span>E-IN, <\/span>and of the first rank of G<\/span>OD OF THE <\/span>E<\/span>ARTH<\/span>.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Third, thou, Wotchissij, shall be ruler over Vind’yu, and her heavenly kingdom, and thy
\ntitle shall be S<\/span>UDGA<\/span>, and of the first rank of G<\/span>OD OF THE <\/span>E<\/span>ARTH<\/span>.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. Fourth, thou Che-le-mung, shalt be ruler over Arabin’ya, and her heavenly kingdom,
\nand thy title shall be O<\/span>SIRIS<\/span>, and of the first rank of G<\/span>OD OF THE <\/span>E<\/span>ARTH
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. Fifth, thou, Baal shalt be ruler over Heleste and her heavenly kingdom, and thy title
\nshall be B<\/span>AAL<\/span>, and of the first rank of G<\/span>OD OF THE <\/span>E<\/span>ARTH<\/span>.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. Sixth, thou, Ashtaroth, shalt be ruler over Parsa, and its heavenly kingdom, and thy
\ntitle shall be A<\/span>SHTAROTH, <\/span>of the first rank of G<\/span>ODDESS OF THE <\/span>E<\/span>ARTH<\/span>.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. Seventh, thou, Fo-ebe, shalt be ruler over Uropa and her heavenly kingdom, and thy<\/span>
\ntitle shall be F<\/span>O-EBE<\/span>, and of the first rank of G<\/span>ODDESS OF THE <\/span>E<\/span>ARTH<\/span>.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. Eighth, thou, Ho-jab, shalt be ruler over Japan and her heavenly kingdom, and thy
\ntitle shall be H<\/span>O-JAB<\/span>, and of the first rank of G<\/span>OD OF THE <\/span>E<\/span>ARTH<\/span>.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

15. After that the false God made appointments for the other divisions of the earth and
\ntheir heavenly places, and after that he said unto them:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

16. All my Gods and Goddesses shall have thrones in their places, and holy councils and
\nattendants as becometh Gods of the first rank. And every one shall have a capital city,
\nwith subsidiaries according to the number and place of their spirits and mortal subjects.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

17. And every God and Goddess shall manage his or her own kingdom in his or her own
\nway; but every one shall nevertheless be tributary to my kingdom, according to the
\nexactions I put upon him or them.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

18. That ye may resign the Diva, and choose your assistants, before being crowned, I
\ndeclare a day of recreation, to assemble at the trumpeter’s call.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

19. Hereupon the hosts relaxed from duty and made their resignations of the Diva, and
\nsent them with messengers to God in Craoshivi, but not one of them mentioned the new
\nstate of affairs resolved upon. On the next day, at the trumpeter’s call, they assembled
\nagain; and Anuhasaj said unto them: Come ye with me, and I will show you the place of
\nHored and its boundaries; for it shall not be my kingdom alone, but yours also, for my
\nkingdom shall be the kingdom of your kingdoms.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

20. And they entered an otevan, and, coming in the fourth belt below meteoris, in the sign
\nof the twelfth arc of Chinvat; and Anuhasaj said: From this time forth this belt shall be
\ncalled Hored, and it shall be my place forever. It shall be the central kingdom of all the
\nearth’s heavens.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

21. And the multitude said: H<\/span>AIL<\/span>, K<\/span>INGDOM OF <\/span>H<\/span>ORED<\/span>, <\/span>THE HOLY HILL, PLACE OF THE <\/span>M<\/span>OST
\n<\/span>H<\/span>IGH <\/span>G<\/span>OD<\/span>! And it was known thereafter as the belt of Hored, hill of God. It was a threequarters belt, and the base thereof was ten thousand miles from the earth, and the summit
\nwas fifteen thousand miles high; habitable within and without. And its ascending rank in
\ngrades was twenty, that is, it was easily habitable by spirits that attained to that grade;
\nbeing above the grade of infants and drujas, and above the region of hells and knots, save
\nin cases of great panic. Now, from the first place of Hored, where Anuhasaj crowned
\nhimself, which was the eastern base of the hill, to the place for his capital city, he made a
\nroadway and called it Loo-hored, and it was the only opened roadway to the kingdoms
\nbelow.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

22. So it came to pass Anuhasaj had two capital cities; and the first was called the C<\/span>ITY OF
\nTHE <\/span>G<\/span>ATE OF <\/span>H<\/span>EAVEN<\/span>, that is, Anubi; and the other was called the P<\/span>LACE OF <\/span>E<\/span>VERLASTING
\n<\/span>R<\/span>EST<\/span>, that is, Sanc-tu. Anuhasaj said to Anubi: Behold, the City of the Gate of Heaven
\nshall be thy place. And thou shalt determine the rate of all souls who desire to enter the
\nPlace of Everlasting Rest. Thou shalt be judge over them. And whosoever is not for me
\nshall not enter, but shall be cast into the kingdoms of hada. And those that are for me,
\nthou shalt send unto me.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

23. And thou shalt have a Holy Council of one hundred thousand; and of examiners thou
\nshalt have one million. And thy capital shall be guarded on every side but one, with
\npillars of fires, so that none can pass but by the Gate of Heaven. And of guardsmen thou
\nshalt have seven millions, divided into seven watches, one for each day. Of messengers
\nbetwixt thy place and mine, thou shalt have ten thousand; but betwixt thee and the Gods<\/span>
\nand Goddesses of the lower kingdoms, thou shalt have five hundred thousand. But, of
\nthine own choice, shall be the number of es’enaurs, trumpeters and marshals, and thy
\nattendants also.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

24. And all Gods and Goddesses coming to me, or sending messengers to my holy place,
\nshall come through thy city, even through the Gate of Heaven; and they shall come
\naccording to certain rites and ceremonies which I will give unto thee. Come, therefore,
\nand receive thy crown.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

25. Thus was crowned Anubi; and after him were crowned the other Gods and
\nGoddesses; and Anuhasaj bequeathed to each one his own kingdom, according to the
\ncustom of the ancients. And when these matters were completed, he again spake before
\nthem, saying: Behold the example I have made before you; even before I provided myself
\nfor mine own kingdom I have given unto every one all things required. It is meet and
\nproper, therefore, that ye contribute unto me and my place workmen and materials, that I
\nmay build in great glory also.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

26. For, as I am exalted, and my kingdom made glorious, so have ye whereof to preach
\ngloriously to your inhabitants of the place in store for them. Thus, did Anuhasaj put Gods
\nand Goddesses under obligations to himself, and they acquiesced in his proceedings,
\nsaying: Nay, we will not only contribute man and women for this purpose, but we will
\nlabor with our own hands for the space of twenty days, helping to build the capital city,
\nand to open roads, in all directions.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
