Book of Jehovih’s Kingdom on Earth Chapter 25<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1. This rule I made in all My works, saith Jehovih: When I separate the people, the good
\ngo away out from amongst the evil.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Even as I drew the Israelites out of Egupt.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. And, whoso go out, prosper in My hand; I make them an everlasting people.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. But those that remain, go down to destruction; and they become unknown upon the
\nearth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Their great men are forgotten, and their wisest men lose caste in the histories of a
\nthousand years.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Behold, these things I had made known unto the generations of the earth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Now, when I separated the Faithists and the Uzians, in the kosmon era, I sent angels,
\nwarning them. I said unto them:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Flatter not yourselves that man is all wisdom; I say unto you, I am with the righteous;<\/span>
\nmight shall not triumph through wrong-doing. Behold, a judgment shall come upon this
\npeople.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. When I begin to call them, My chosen shall come and found My kingdom; and they
\nshall come faster and faster every year.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. And the Uzians shall fall into iniquity, more and more every year.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. And, now, behold what hath been!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. The prince of devils came upon the Uzians, saying:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. Think not that I come to send peace on earth; I come not to send peace, but a sword.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. I come to set man at variance against his father, and a daughter against her mother.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

15. Now, therefore, when My angels went in behalf of My kingdom, behold, the prince of
\ndevils did invade the places of the ungodly.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

16. And, whoso received My angels, and practiced righteousness, were fallen upon by the
\nemissaries of the prince of devils, and unmercifully treated with curses and tortures.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

17. But I called the righteous hence, and they built unto Me My kingdom.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

18. And I said unto the Uzians: Let this be a testimony unto you of the power of the
\nAlmighty;
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

19. Ye go about building ships of war, and harbors for defense, with torpedoes, and with
\nall manner of wicked inventions;
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

20. But I say unto you, this nation, this government and this people shall not be attacked
\nin the places ye build.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

21. It is within.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

22. For I will draw away the righteous, and none but rogues shall accept your great
\noffices.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

23. And this matter shall grow upon you in the way of evil, declining in virtue more and
\nmore every year.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

24. Look, therefore, at your grade; judge ye the words of the Almighty.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

25. My hands fashioned the signs of the times.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

26. As the hirer this day hireth one man to watch another, even so shall it come unto you
\nin the great offices of your government.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

27. By force and by might, ye shall hope to overcome the prince of devils, but ye shall
\nfail.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

28. And, in proportion as ye go down in corruption, even so shall the Faithists go away
\ninto My kingdoms.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
