Anuhasaj never established the De&#8217;yus as projected at first, but took the name<br \/>\nDe&#8217;yus (Dyaus) upon himself, and became known in the heavens by that name. When<br \/>\nhe had thus established Hored in its entirety, he gave a feast to the Gods and Goddesses;<br \/>\nand after it was ended, previous to their departure, he spake before them, saying:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. The time of duty is now upon you, and upon me, the Lord your God, also. Be ye then<br \/>\nsolicitous of these things I speak of, that in the everlasting times we may be brethren, and<br \/>\nthere shall be no other Gods, but ourselves forever.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. Behold, I have given into your hands to manage your own kingdoms in your way;<br \/>\nfor which reason I can no longer say, do ye this, or do ye thus and so, for my affairs<br \/>\nare in mine own kingdom. But wherein I have wisdom I freely impart, and the<br \/>\nchoice is yours, whether ye will follow my advice or do otherwise, for ye are of<br \/>\nequal rank with me. And, moreover, my kingdom is dependent upon you, and not yours<br \/>\nupon mine. Hear ye then my words as if I were but one in a Council with wise Gods:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. To overturn Jehovih and his dominions on the earth and in these heavens will be your<br \/>\nfirst labor. And whenever corporeans embrace Him, calling themselves F<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">AITHISTS IN THE<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">G<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">REAT <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">S<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">PIRIT<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">, or F<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">AITHISTS IN <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">J<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">EHOVIH<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">, or F<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">AITHISTS IN <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">O<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">RMAZD<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">, or by any other name<br \/>\nsignifying the A<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">LL <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">L<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">IGHT<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">, or U<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">NSEEN<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">, or P<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ERSON OF <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">E<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">VER <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">P<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">RESENCE<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">, ye shall pursue<br \/>\nthem, and destroy them off the face of the earth. To do which ye shall use the oracles,<br \/>\nor prophets and seers, or magicians, or inspiration; and ye shall set the kings and<br \/>\nqueens of the earth to war upon them, and spare them not, man, woman or child.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. And of spirits of the dead who fall into your respective kingdoms, being Faithists,<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">bring them before Anubi and his hosts, and he shall send them into regions of<br \/>\ndarkness, saying to them: Behold, ye have your Jehovih! And Anubi shall place<br \/>\nguards over them, and they shall not know where to go, but will cry out in their darkness.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. Whereupon they shall be sworn into servitude in Hored to the Lord your God forever,<br \/>\nand become slaves within your kingdoms.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. And ye shall teach both mortals and spirits that Hored is the All Highest heaven,<br \/>\nand that it is the place of the All Highest God, even De&#8217;yus. For them to attain<br \/>\nwhich, ye shall exact servitude of them in your heavens accordingly as ye may desire.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. In the rites and ceremonies, both in your heavens and on the earth, shall ye enforce the<br \/>\nexchanging of words signifying Great Spirit to words signifying Lord God, who is of the<br \/>\nform and size of a man, declaring of a truth that I sit on my throne in judgment of the<br \/>\nworld, for it is mine, and ye are one with me.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. And all songs of praise shall be changed; and prayers and beseechings to your God,<br \/>\ninstead of Jehovih, or Ormazd, or the Great Spirit. For both mortals and angels shall be<br \/>\nmade to know that He is my enemy, leading my people astray. And as to the prophets and<br \/>\nseers on the earth, who will persist in preaching or singing to the Great Spirit, ye shall<br \/>\nincite torture and punishment and death unto them.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. And whether I be De&#8217;yus, or God, or the Lord God, or the All Perfect, me only shall<br \/>\nthey worship, forever. And my place, Hored, shall be the sacred hill of God forever! And<br \/>\nnone shall approach me but by crawling on their bellies; for I will so exalt my lights that<br \/>\nnone can stand before me.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. When the Lord God had finished his discourse, the other Gods responded in love and<br \/>\nadoration. Thus ended the feast, and, according to the rites in other heavens, the Gods and<br \/>\nGoddesses went and sat at the foot of the throne, and De&#8217;yus came down and took them<br \/>\nby the hand, one at a time, and raised them up, saying: Arise, O God, and in my name,<br \/>\nand wisdom, and power, go thy way. Thus they departed.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. And as to the earth, great havoc and persecution were visited upon the Zarathustrians<br \/>\nand Israelites, being put to death by hundreds of thousands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Chapter XIII<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">1. Swift messengers coursing the heavens, from far-off etherean worlds, bound for<br \/>\ndestinations remote, passed over the regions of Hored; and the high-raised travelers felt<br \/>\nthe discordant plots of satan&#8217;s Lord God and his hosts, thus bent to overthrow the Great<br \/>\nSpirit&#8217;s happy world. And so they sent word of it to Cpenta-armij, through whose fields<br \/>\nthe great serpent moved along. And her Most High Council, one with the Creator, cast<br \/>\nabout to know the cause and treatment of the dastardly outrage.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. Then spake Jehovih to His Daughter, Chieftainess, saying: The Lord God was duly<br \/>\nhonored in My name, and swore before Me to serve faithfully, forever, by his highest<br \/>\nlight. Hold thou him to his purpose, and bind him in the world he hath assumed to rule for<br \/>\nhis own glory. And to his fellow-God, conspirators against Me, Who brought them into<br \/>\nbeing, give thou them full sway to destroy My worshippers. Let them raise the name of<br \/>\ntheir God, and bait mortal kings and queens to glut themselves in the havoc of My<br \/>\nchosen, the Faithists.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. The earth neareth her greatest corporeal growth, and these self-assuming Gods shall<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">build monuments through their mortal emissaries, in the greatest divisions of the<br \/>\nearth: Temples, and pyramids, and oracle-palaces, which shall stand thousands of<br \/>\nyears as testimonies of the audacity of Gods and Saviors. To honor whom, the Lord<br \/>\nGod hath sworn to make angels and men suppliant slaves in heaven and earth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. For I will use the corporeal temples and pyramids they shall build on the earth at the<br \/>\nexpense of My chosen, as testimony, in coming ages, of the oppression in the hadanheavenly kingdoms of these self-Gods. Till which time I cannot teach mortals of the<br \/>\nvanity of the lower heavens, save in the deserted ruins of their moldering monuments.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. For in kosmon, mortals shall know that even as the earth hath been a place of foolish<br \/>\nsacrifice to persons born of woman, so were My heavens debauched in that day by similar<br \/>\noppression and cruelty.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. Let him who is falsely crowned Osiris, build in the Osirian field, and him who is<br \/>\nproclaimed De&#8217;yus, build in the hadan field, for the time shall come when these<br \/>\ntestimonies shall be required in the sum of earth and heaven.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. For I will show them that without an All Highest Person there is no resurrection<br \/>\nfor angels or men. Of which they that are slaughtered, ten thousand millions, and<br \/>\nbound by the Lord God, shall swear, in kosmon, the fall of all things save Me.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. Down to the lower heavens, to God in Craoshivi, sent Cpenta-armij swift messengers,<br \/>\nwith the words of Jehovih, comforting to God and his hosts, as to the wide plans<br \/>\non which the Father lieth the destinies of worlds. And God received them, and<br \/>\nnow comprehended why, alas, his Diva came not, nor answered his call but by resigning.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. But God, the true ruler of heaven and earth, now saw how the prosperity of the<br \/>\nindulged heaven had made bad men out of most holy Gods, even as prosperity on the<br \/>\nearth closeth up man&#8217;s eyes against his Creator, making him an egotist in self, and<br \/>\nvociferous as to Jehovih&#8217;s shortcomings, according to man&#8217;s views. And God remembered<br \/>\nhow he had prayed for the continuation of the light in heaven, which Jehovih granted<br \/>\nhim; and he repented now, saying:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. O Jehovih, why said I not: Thy will be done; let darkness come! Had I not seen on the<br \/>\nearth how night must follow day, and winter after summer; that I must need pray for<br \/>\nendless light in a heaven where Thy sons and daughters are as yet but babes in the<br \/>\ntime and course of worlds? Mine own judgment should have shown me that spells of<br \/>\ndarkness should follow seasons of light in Thy lower heavens. For, then, had these<br \/>\nhalf-tried Lords and Gods stopped to consider ere they rushed into so mad a scheme.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. God called together the Holy Council in Craoshivi, and told them of the words of the<br \/>\nCreator, through His High-Raised Daughter. Then the Council spake, all who chose, and<br \/>\nthe thirty millions listened. And, meanwhile, messengers fresh from Hored, the seat of<br \/>\nrebellion, came in, bringing full news to Craoshivi of the proceedings of the Lord God,<br \/>\nalias, De&#8217;yus, and his self-Gods and Goddesses.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. When the full particulars had been related, and the Council had spoken upon it, then<br \/>\nthe light of Jehovih came upon God, and God said:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. In the name of our Father, I will speak to these Gods and Lords and acquaint<br \/>\nthem with Jehovih&#8217;s words. Yea, I will entreat them to return even as they were.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">14. Then God, overwhelmed by the terrible adversity of the heavens entrusted to his<br \/>\nkeeping, as in a small degree the captain of a merchant&#8217;s ship, far out at sea, meeting with<br \/>\na mishap of broken masts, stripped to the bulk, and rudder gone, powerless to save,<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">feeleth the burning shame of incompetence before mariners, so God, before the HighRaised Chiefs of the etherean worlds, must helplessly view his shattered kingdoms.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">15. With great sorrow God sent word to De&#8217;yus and his Gods, of Jehovih&#8217;s warning; and<br \/>\nhe plead for them to return, as a father pleadeth to a wayward son. Off went the<br \/>\nmessengers swiftly; and God, even though long schooled to adverse trials and<br \/>\nsuspensions, burned with impatience for his messengers to return, hoping that his sweet<br \/>\npleadings might yet reverse the scenes.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">16. Then came back the messengers, empty handed! Not one of the truant Gods had<br \/>\ndeigned to answer him. And God wept, scarce believing his messengers, that so great an<br \/>\ninsult could be heaped upon him, who had done nothing whereof any one could complain.<br \/>\nThen Jehovih came and spake to God, saying: Weep not, My Son! He who followeth his<br \/>\nhighest light from day to day, great is his glory; and in whatsoever he loseth he shall<br \/>\nregain a thousand-fold. Behold, I will bring love to thee that thou knowest not of:<br \/>\nRemember thou, as this season is upon the earth and her heavens, even so do I send a<br \/>\nseason like unto it upon all My worlds.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Book of Wars Against Jehovih Chapters XII and XIII Chapter XII ANUHASAJ, THE FALSE GOD, DECLARETH HIMSELF AGAINST JEHOVIH. 1.
