Thus was established the C<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ONFEDERACY OF <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">S<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ELFS<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">; that is, the false Lord God, and his<br \/>\nfalse Gods, were as many kingdoms united into one; yet every god was secretly sworn<br \/>\nunto himself, for his own glory.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. From the time of the beginning of the revolt until it was completed as a confederacy<br \/>\nwas sixty and four days, and the number of inhabitants in these heavens at that time was<br \/>\neight thousand millions, men, women and children. And they are well-ordered, in<br \/>\nnurseries, and hospitals, and schools, and colleges, and factories, and in building ships,<br \/>\nand in surveying and in road-making, and all such other occupations as belong in the<br \/>\nlower heavens, objective and subjective. Four thousand million of these were presently<br \/>\nsent to Hored, to De&#8217;yus.<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. De&#8217;yus at once set about the work laid out, and issued a decree commanding the<br \/>\ndestruction of all otevans and other vessels plying to the upper plateau, Craoshivi; and<br \/>\ncommanding the seizing and destroying of fire-ships or other vessels that might come<br \/>\nfrom the upper regions down to the lower. De&#8217;yus said: My people shall not ascend to<br \/>\nother heavens. I have made the earth and this heaven sufficient unto all happiness and<br \/>\nglory. Whosoever buildeth a vessel, saying: I will ascend; or if he say not, but my judges<br \/>\ndiscover him, he shall be cast into the hadan region, prepared for im. And if a man or a<br \/>\nwoman preach in my heavens, and say: Behold, there is a higher heaven, that person shall<br \/>\nbe cast into hell, as my son judgeth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. And I, De&#8217;yus, command the locking up of all the books in the libraries of my heavens<br \/>\nthat in any way teach of Jehovih or Ormazd, or of heavenly kingdoms above mine or<br \/>\ngreater. For I, the Lord God, will have but one kingdom, and I will draw all people into it<br \/>\nto abide with me forever.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. And my Gods, and my marshals, and generals and captains, shall take their hosts and<br \/>\ngo around about the regions of Hored, and make a clean roadway, and cut off all<br \/>\nconnection with the outer kingdoms. And they shall place in the roadway around my<br \/>\nheavens a standing army, sufficient to guard my kingdom and my Gods&#8217;kingdoms<br \/>\nforever. And no man-angel, nor woman-angel shall pass outward beyond my roadway<br \/>\nforever.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. These things were carried out, save as to the libraries. But there were destroyed four<br \/>\nthousand otevans and other ascending ships; and of the places for manufacturing ships<br \/>\nfor the outer heavens that were destroyed, more than seven hundred. And there were<br \/>\nthus thrown out of employment seven hundred millions, men and women! And many<br \/>\nof these were compelled to go to Hored, where they were assorted as to grade, and put<br \/>\nto work, beautifying the capital and Council house and palace of the Lord God, the<br \/>\nfalse. Others were impressed into the standing army, being allotted seasons and years.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. After the outward extreme of hada was thus secured in every way, De&#8217;yus turned to the<br \/>\ninterior. He said: Now will I hide away text-books in my heavenly places, as relate to<br \/>\nhigher kingdoms and to Jhovih; for from this time forth He is my enemy and I am His.<br \/>\nUpon my own self have I sworn it; the name of Jehovih and Ormazd shall be destroyed<br \/>\nin heaven and earth; and my name, De&#8217;yus, even the Lord God, shall stand above all else.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. For sixty days, the armies of destruction traversed the lowest heavens, high and low,<br \/>\nfar and near; and they hid away many of the records, and books, and maps, relating to<br \/>\nthe higher atmospherea and to the etherean worlds beyond; and in sixty days the<br \/>\nwork of destruction was complete in these heavens, and there was nothing left<br \/>\nwithin sight to prove or to teach the higher heavens, or of Jehovih, the Ormazd.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. The Lord God, the false, said: Let my name and my place, even Hored, be replaced<br \/>\ninstead of those destroyed, for I will make the name De&#8217;yus to rule in one-half of the<br \/>\nworld, and the name Lord God to rule in the other half.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. The inhabitants of heaven and earth shall know where to find me, and shall behold my<br \/>\nperson, and witness the strength of my hands. Yea, they shall know my pleasure and my<br \/>\ndispleasure, and serve me in fear and trembling.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. And the books in the schools and colleges of these heavens were thus made to rate<br \/>\nDe&#8217;yus and the Lord God as the All Highest, Most Sacred, Most Holy.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. When these things were established thus far, De&#8217;yus gave a great feast, and brought<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">into his companionship all the valorous fighters and destroyers that had proved<br \/>\nthemselves great in fulfilling his commandments. In the meantime, the laborers and<br \/>\nofficers in charge had extended and beautified the palace and capital of the Lord God in<br \/>\nHored beyond anything ever seen in these heavens. So that at the time of this feast, the<br \/>\nplace was already one of magnificence and glory. And the order, and temper, and<br \/>\ndiscipline of the officers and servants, more than one million, who had charge of<br \/>\npreparing and conducting the feast, were so great that the assembled Gods and great<br \/>\ngenerals, and governors, and marshals, and captains, for a long while, did nothing but<br \/>\nejaculate applause and astonishment.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. Besides these, De&#8217;yus had provided receiving hosts, fifty thousand, and of es&#8217;enaurs<br \/>\nand trumpeters half a million, and proclaiming heralds one hundred thousand; and the<br \/>\nlatter, when conducting the distinguished visitors into the presence of De&#8217;yus, proclaimed<br \/>\nthem, amidst the applause of the Holy Council, such honor surpassing anything that any<br \/>\nof them had ever witnessed.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">14. The substance of the feast, being above grade twenty, which was above the animal<br \/>\nregion, was, consequently, of vegetable and fruit es&#8217;pa from the earth, previously brought<br \/>\nby trained shippers and workers, for this especial occasion. But there was no es&#8217;pa of flesh<br \/>\nor fish present on the tables; but an abundance of the es&#8217;pa of wine, and this was called<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">NECTAR <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">(su-be).<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">15. The walls of the chamber of the feast were ornamented with sprays of colored fire,<br \/>\nand from the floor of the chamber there rose upward innumerable fountains of perfume,<br \/>\nwhich were also es&#8217;pa brought up from the earth, and forced up in the fountains by more<br \/>\nthan one million servants, impressed into service from the regions of shippers, which had<br \/>\nbeen destroyed previously.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">16. At the feast, with the Lord God and his Gods, there were in all one thousand two<br \/>\nhundred guests; and the feast lasted one whole day, and the Gods and guests ate and<br \/>\ndrank to their hearts&#8217;content, and there were not a few who felt the intoxication of the<br \/>\nrich nectar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">17. When the feast was ended, De&#8217;yus, through his marshals, signified that he would<br \/>\nspeak before them; and when quiet was restored, he said: What greater joy hath<br \/>\nany one in a matter than to make others happy! Because ye served me, doing my<br \/>\ncommandments, behold, I have served you. My feast hath been your feast; my substance<br \/>\nhave I given unto you, that ye may rejoice in the glory I have received from your hands.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">18. Yet think not that the Lord, your God, so endeth this proceeding: I will not so end it.<br \/>\nI have commanded you here that I may honor those that deserve honor from me,<br \/>\nyour God. My Gods have also great exaltation in the labor ye have done in my<br \/>\nheavens, for my heavens are their heavens, and yours also. Because ye have destroyed<br \/>\nthe ascension, the most worthless and foolish of things, and cleared away the<br \/>\nrubbish of my heavens, ye have also prepared a place for endless glory for yourselves.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">19. For which reason, and in justice to you, I have appointed this time to promote you<br \/>\nall, according to your great achievements. Nor shall ye fall back on my promotion,<br \/>\nresting in ease; for I have a greater labor for you, as well as greater honor and glory.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">20. Behold, I have commanded the earth and her dominions; and ye, my Gods, shall<br \/>\nsubjugate her to my name and power. And ye that have proved yourselves most valiant in<br \/>\nheaven shall be their chosen officers to go down to the earth in my name, with millions of<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">my heavenly soldiers, to plan and fix the way of mortals unto my hand. As ye have cast<br \/>\nout the names Jehovih and Ormazd in heaven, even so shall ye cast them out on the earth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">21. Remember ye, I am a God of anger; I have declared war against all ungodliness on the<br \/>\nearth. Whoever worshippeth the Great Spirit under the name Jehovih, or Ormazd, shall<br \/>\nbe put to death, both men and women. Only little children shall ye spare, and of them<br \/>\nshall ye make slaves and eunuchs and whatsoever else that shall profit my kingdoms.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">22. Whether they have an idol of stone, or of wood, or of gold, or of copper, they shall be<br \/>\ndestroyed. Neither shall it save them to make an idol of the Unseen; for such is even more<br \/>\noffensive in my sight than the others. For will I leave alive one Faithist on the face of the<br \/>\nearth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">23. To accomplish which, my Gods shall select ye who are of my feast; according to<br \/>\ntheir rank shall they choose; and when ye are thus divided and selected, ye shall receive<br \/>\nbadges from my hand, and repair with my Gods to the places and service they desire.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">24. And when ye are come down to the earth, ye shall possess yourselves of the oracles<br \/>\nand places of worship, driving hence all other angels, and Gods, and Lords, and familiars.<br \/>\nAnd when mortals come to consult the spirits ye shall answer them in your own way in<br \/>\norder to carry out my commandments.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">25. And when ye find prophets and seers, who accomplish by the Unseen, who have with<br \/>\nthem spirits belonging to the kingdom of Craoshivi, ye shall drive away such spirits and<br \/>\nobsess the prophet or seer in your own way. But if ye cannot drive hence the Ormazdian<br \/>\nangel, then shall ye go to the depths of hell in hada and bring a thousand spirits of<br \/>\ndarkness, who are foul and well skilled in torment, and ye shall cast them upon that<br \/>\nprophet until he is mad. But if it so happen that the prophet or seer be so protected that<br \/>\nspirits of darkness cannot reach him, then shall ye send evil spirits in advance of him to<br \/>\nthe place he frequenteth, and they shall inoculate the place with virus that shall poison<br \/>\nhim to death.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">26. But if a prophet of Jehovih repent and renounce the Great Spirit, and accept De&#8217;yus, or<br \/>\nthe Lord God, then shall ye drive all evil away from him, and put a guard around about<br \/>\nhim, for he shall be my subject in time to come.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">27. And whether ye reach a king of the earth by means of the oracles, or through prophets<br \/>\nand seers, or by obsession, it mattereth not; but ye shall come to him by some means,<br \/>\neither when he lieth asleep or is awake, and ye shall inspire him with the doctrines and<br \/>\nthe love of the Lord your God. And he shall rise up in great war, and pursue all people<br \/>\nwho do not profess De&#8217;yus, or the Lord your God; for he shall be as an instrument in your<br \/>\nhands to do my will.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">28. When De&#8217;yus ceased speaking, the Gods immediately made their selections, and the<br \/>\ngenerals and captains were thus allotted to new places. And now the attendants carried<br \/>\naway the tables of the feast, and the Gods, each with his captains and generals, faced<br \/>\ntoward De&#8217;yus, and formed twelve rows; whereupon De&#8217;yus conferred badges, as<br \/>\npreviously promised.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">29. De&#8217;yus then departed to the Council chamber, and took his seat on the throne. The<br \/>\nguests, and Gods, and Councilors, entered the south gate, and went and stood in the midst<br \/>\nof the floor of the chamber; whereupon the Lord God saluted them, W<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ARRIORS OF <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">G<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">OD<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">, and<br \/>\nthey embraced in the S<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">IGN OF <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">T<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">AURUS<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">, signifying, <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">TO ENFORCE RIGHTEOUSNESS, <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">for the image of<br \/>\na bull was one of the signs above the throne. (And this was called the E<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">DICT OF THE <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">B<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ULL<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">.)<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">30. These, then, are the names of the Gods and Goddesses, with their generals and<br \/>\ncaptains, that were empowered in heaven to go down to the earth to subjugate it unto the<br \/>\nLord God, the false, that is to say:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">31. The Gods were: Anubi; Hikas, now called Te-in; Wotchissij, now called Sudga; Chele-mung, now called Osiris; Baal, Ashtaroth, Foe-be, Hes-loo, He-loo, Orion, Hebe and<br \/>\nValish.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">32. Their generals were: Hoin, Oo-da, Jah, Knowteth, June, Pluton-ya, Loo-Chiang, Wahka, Posee-ya-don, Dosh-to, Eurga-roth, Neuf, Apollo-ya, Suts, Karusa, Myion, Hefa-yistie, Petoris, Ban, Ho-jou-ya, Mung-jo, Ura-na, Oke-ya-nos, Egupt, Hi-ram, T&#8217;cro-no,<br \/>\nAres, Yube, Feh-tus, Don, Dan, Ali-jah, Sol, Sa-mern, Thu-wowtch, Hua-ya, Afro-dite,<br \/>\nHan, Weel, Haing-le, Wang-le, Ar-ti-mis, Ga-song-ya, Lowtha, Pu, Tochin-woh-to-gow,<br \/>\nBen, Aa-ron, Nais-wiche, Gai-ya, Te-sin, Argo, Hadar, Atstsil, E-shong, Daridrat, Udan,<br \/>\nNadar, Bog-wi, She-ug-ga, Brihat, Zeman, Asrig, Oyeb, Chan-lwang, Sishi, Jegat, At-yena and Dyu.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">33. Their captains were: Penbu, Josh, Yam-yam, Holee-tsu, Yoth, Gamba, Said, Drat-ta,<br \/>\nYupe-set, Wag, Mar, Luth, Mak-ka, Chutz, Hi-rack-to, Vazenno, Hasuck, Truth,<br \/>\nMaidyar, Pathemadyn, Kop, Cpenta-mainyus, Try-sti-ya, Peter, Houab, Vanaiti, Craosha,<br \/>\nVisper, Seam, Plow-ya, Yact-ta-roth, Abua, Zaotha, Kacan-cat, Hovain, Myazd-Loo,<br \/>\nHaur, Abel, Openista, Isaah, Vazista, Potonas, Kiro, Wiska-dore, Urvash, Ashesnoga,<br \/>\nCavo, Kalamala-hoodon, Lutz-rom, Wab, Daeri, Kus, Tsoo-man-go, and Le-Wiang.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">34. Besides these, were one thousand officers of lower rank; and now, when they were<br \/>\nsealed as to rank and place and allotment, they withdrew; and De&#8217;yus gave a day of<br \/>\nrecreation that the Gods with their officers might make the selections from the multitude,<br \/>\nas for their private soldiers.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">35. And in one day&#8217;s time the armies were made up, two thousand million angels, and<br \/>\nthey departed down to the earth to destroy the Faithists and the names Jehovih and<br \/>\nOrmazd, and establish De&#8217;yus, otherwise the Lord God, the false<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Chapter XVII<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">1. God, in Craoshivi, bewailed heaven and earth. He said: Great Jehovih, how I have<br \/>\nfailed in Thy kingdom! Behold, Thou gavest into my keeping the earth and her heavens,<br \/>\nand they have gone astray!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. Jehovih said: Behold the plan of My government; which is, to come against nothing in<br \/>\nheaven or earth; to seize nothing by the head and turn it round by violence to go the other<br \/>\nway.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. Though I am the power that created them, and am the Ever Present that moveth them<br \/>\nalong, I gave to them to be Gods, like Myself, with liberty to find their own direction.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. I created many trees in My garden, the greatest of which is the tree of happiness. And I<br \/>\ncalled out unto all the living to come and dwell in the shade of that tree, and partake of<br \/>\nthe fruits and its perfumes. But they run after prickers and they scourge themselves; and<br \/>\nthen, alas, they fall to cursing Me, and accusing Me of shortness in My government.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. I confined them in their mother&#8217;s womb for a season, showing them there is a time for<br \/>\nall things. But they ran forward hurriedly, desiring speedy happiness and wisdom, without<br \/>\nhalting to observe My glories by the road-side.<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. I said unto them: Even as I have given liberty unto all My people, so shall ye<br \/>\nnot impress into your service your brothers and sisters. But the self-assuming Gods<br \/>\nmake slaves of their fellows; they build roads round about, and station armies<br \/>\nof soldiers to prevent My newborn from coming to My most glorious kingdoms.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. They go down to the earth and inspire kings and queens, and rich men, to do the same<br \/>\nthings. And they portion out to their servants, saying to them: Serve ye me, and I will do<br \/>\nfor you. They little think that their servants will become as thorns, and stones, and chains,<br \/>\nand spears against them in the far future. They build up a justice of their own, saying:<br \/>\nAs much as my servants labor for me, so will I render unto them. But I have said unto<br \/>\nthem that no man shall serve another but for love, which shall be his only recompense.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. The king and the queen of the earth, and the rich man, shut their own eyes against Me,<br \/>\nthinking by that means I cannot see them; they flatter themselves that in heaven they will<br \/>\ngive the slip to their servants. But I sowed a seed of bondage in My garden, and I said:<br \/>\nWhosoever bindeth another, shall himself be bound. And behold, when they are risen in<br \/>\nheaven, their servants and their soldiers come upon them; their memory is as a troubled<br \/>\ndream that will not away from them.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. Nevertheless, with these great examples before them, still there are angels in hada that<br \/>\nhave not profited therein. For they say unto themselves; I will build a great kingdom in<br \/>\nheaven; I will become the mightiest of Gods; millions of angels shall serve me; I will shut<br \/>\nout the Great Spirit and His far-off heavens; I will wall my place around with an army of<br \/>\nsoldiers, and with fire and water.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. As a libertine stealeth an unsuspicious damsel to abuse her; and, in time, she waketh<br \/>\nup to the matter but to curse him, so do the false Gods steal upon the inhabitants of My<br \/>\nplaces and carry them into bondage. But the light of My understanding dwelleth in the<br \/>\nsouls of My little ones; it waiteth for the spring sun; and it will spring up and grow into a<br \/>\nmighty tree to accuse these Gods.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. God inquired concerning warfare?<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. Jehovih said: I answer all things by good. To the good at heart I give good thoughts,<br \/>\ndesires and holy observations. To the perverse of heart I hold up My glories and the<br \/>\nbeneficence of virtue and peaceful understanding. To them that practice charity and good<br \/>\nworks unto others, laboring not for self, I give the highest delight. Though they be<br \/>\npricked in the flesh with poverty and wicked persecutions, yet their souls are as the<br \/>\nwaters of a smooth-running river. Amongst them that practice evil, and destruction, and<br \/>\nwar, I send emissaries of benevolence and healing, who have plenteous words of pity.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. These are My arrows, and spears, and war-clubs, O God: Pity, gentle words, and the<br \/>\nexample of tenderness. Soon or late, these shall triumph over all things in heaven and<br \/>\nearth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">14. Behold, these wars in hada and on the earth will continue more than a thousand years.<br \/>\nAnd the inhabitants will go down in darkness, even to the lowest darkness. For<br \/>\nwhich reason, thou and thy successors shall provide not hastily, as if the matter were<br \/>\nto change with the wind. But thou shalt organize a new army of deliverers for My<br \/>\nFaithists, and it shall have two branches, one for the earth and one for hada. And the<br \/>\nbusiness of thy army shall be to rescue My people from them that seek to destroy them.<br \/>\nAnd as to the spirits of the dead who were Faithists on the earth, provide thou means of<br \/>\ntransportation and bring them to thy new kingdom, which thou shalt call At-ce-wan,<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">where thou shalt provide a sub-God, and officers, and attendants, hundreds of millions.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">15. And in At-ce-wan, thou shalt provide the sub-God all such places and nurseries,<br \/>\nhospitals, factories, schools, colleges and such other houses and places of instructions<br \/>\nrequired, in the kingdoms of My Lords in hada.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">16. And when thou hast this matter in good working order, thou shalt speak before thy<br \/>\nHoly Council; in My name shalt thou say to them after this manner: Two hundred<br \/>\nthousand hath Jehovih called; by Him am I commanded to find them; and they shall be<br \/>\nwise and strong and without fear. For they shall be angel-preachers in Jehovih&#8217;s name to<br \/>\ngo down to Hored, the place of De&#8217;yus, the Lord God the false, and to the kingdoms of his<br \/>\nGods; and their labor shall be to preach and proclaim the Father and His glories in the<br \/>\netherean worlds.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">17. And my preachers shall not say one word against the Lord God nor his Gods;<br \/>\nbut rather the other way; by majesty of Jehovih&#8217;s love, be loving towards them and<br \/>\ntheir officers and subjects. For by this means shall my preachers have peaceful dwellings<br \/>\nin these warring kingdoms; and thus their voices shall have great weight. For the greatest<br \/>\nwisdom of a great diplomatist is not to be too opposite or too vehement, but conciliating.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">18. Jehovih said: And thy preachers shall travel constantly in the lowest kingdoms,<br \/>\nteaching and explaining My boundless worlds, sowing the seed of aspiration with the<br \/>\nwise and with the ignorant, and especially with the enslaved.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">19. And to as many as become converted, and desire to ascend to Craoshivi, thou shalt<br \/>\nsay: Go ye to the border of your kingdom, whither the Father&#8217;s laborers have a ship to take<br \/>\nye to His kingdom. But thy preachers shall not go with them to excite suspicion or hate,<br \/>\nbut continue on preaching and inciting the slaves to ascend to higher and holier heavens.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">20. Then God, of Craoshivi, fell to work to carry out the commandments of Jehovih.<br \/>\nAnd his Council labored with him. At-ce-wan was established and Yotse-hagah<br \/>\nwas made the sub-God, with a Holy Council of one hundred thousand angels, with<br \/>\na thousand attendants, with fifty thousand messengers. He was provided with a<br \/>\ncapital, and throne, and with ship-makers and builders of mansions, one million angels.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">21. After that God and the Council of Craoshivi organized all the armies as commanded<br \/>\nby Jehovih. And there were in these armies, all told, seventeen hundred millions, and two<br \/>\nhundred and eight thousand five hundred and sixty, all of whom were above grade fifty,<br \/>\nand some as high as ninety.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">22. And it so turned out that these organizations were completed and in working order<br \/>\ntwo days prior to De&#8217;yus and his hosts beginning their war on the earth. But the Faithist<br \/>\nangels were distributed mostly in hada and the regions above. So that whilst De&#8217;yus&#8217;hosts<br \/>\nof two thousand millions were gone down to the earth, there were of Faithist angels for<br \/>\nthe same place but four hundred thousand, save the ashars who were in regular service.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1st Quarter Moon,\u00a0Mother\u2019s Day,\u00a0Holy Memorial Day Book of Wars Against Jehovih Chapters XVI and XVII Chapter XVI HEREIN IS REVEALED THE MANNER IN WHICH THE GODS CARRIED OUT WHAT HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY STATED. 1.
