So God enlarged the place of Hored, and built one thousand more pillars of fire,<br \/>\nenlarging the circle and otherwise making it a place of splendor. And God called together<br \/>\nthe recorders from the libraries of heaven, and caused them to select one hundred<br \/>\nthousand new members for the house of Moeb (Parliament), choosing them from the<br \/>\nhighest on the lists. In this matter, God said:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. Seek not the most learned, nor the most prayerful, for members; but choose ye such as<br \/>\nrank highest in assimilating to Jehovih and to their fellows; for such are the first to<br \/>\nbecome Gods and Goddesses. Jehovih saith: A strong man may do more good works than<br \/>\na weak one; and yet the latter may stand fairer in My sight. I open the way to the weak<br \/>\nand the strong; to the learned and the unlearned.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. God said: In all these matters, whatever man or woman hath put away self-desires<br \/>\nfor self&#8217;s sake, serving the Father by laboring for others, is on the road to wisdom. And<br \/>\nif the records show a sufficient time for growth in such man or woman, whereby<br \/>\nthese virtues become organic, then choose ye that person, for of such shall be Moeb.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. So the laborers gathered from the heavens around about, agni, and built Moeb within,<br \/>\nsuitable for the members to be seated according to their rank; and when it was finished,<br \/>\non that same day, the recorders brought the new members, and they went into the temple<br \/>\nto their respective places.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. And when seated, God spake from the throne, saying: To Thee, O Jehovih, have I built<br \/>\nthe house of Moeb in Hored; and by Thy wisdom have I chosen the members thereof. To<br \/>\nThee, O Father, I dedicate this house, and it shall be Thy house. Give us of Thy light, O<br \/>\nJehovih, that we may not err.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. A light descended from the heavens above and fell upon the members of Moeb, as a<br \/>\nsymbol of approval by the archangels; and presently the new members rose up, every one<br \/>\nof their own accord, but the old members remained seated.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. God said: Above your heads I make the sign of Jehovih&#8217;s name, in a circle of fire,<br \/>\nand the cross, and the leaf of life; for by it are ye sworn to the Father&#8217;s labor.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. Hear me, then, O my beloved: Ye are henceforth denied individual ministration with<br \/>\nindividuals, but ye are now become a unit with many, and with these must your labor and<br \/>\nyour love and your wisdom be in concert of action.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. Henceforth must ye no longer say: What can I do for this man or that man, or this<br \/>\nwoman or that woman, or this child or that child? For this is individual labor; and on the<br \/>\nearth such ministration belongeth to the ashars; and in atmospherea, such ministration<br \/>\nbelongeth to the asaphs. But ye shall minister to organic communities who are composed<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">of individuals. For there are communities for factories, and others for education, and<br \/>\nothers for treatment of the sick; and such communities exist both on earth and in heaven.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. Ye shall divide yourselves into groups for this purpose, and every group shall have its<br \/>\nspecial business in charge; and each group shall stand in Moeb as one member of<br \/>\nJehovih&#8217;s judgment seat. According to your talents shall ye divide, and group together,<br \/>\nchoosing such department wherein each one hath the greatest wisdom and strength.<br \/>\nWithdraw, then, and thus complete your groups according to the rates my proper officers<br \/>\nwill assign, and then return again into Moeb, and in Jehovih&#8217;s name, take the seats<br \/>\nallotted to you all.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Chapter 14<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">1. On the second day after the house of Moeb was completed, and all the members were<br \/>\nin their respective places, Jehovih spake through God, saying:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. Now is the beginning of the second resurrection. Even as the corporean putteth off the<br \/>\ncorporeal body, and is born a spirit, becoming the first resurrection, so are ye, putting<br \/>\naway individual self and becoming an organic community, the beginning of the second<br \/>\nresurrection.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. As they of the first are for individual self, so have I bound them close on the face of the<br \/>\nearth; as they survived on the earth on corporeal food, so have I made them to survive in<br \/>\nthe lowest heaven on atmospherean food. As Moeb hath risen above these conditions, so<br \/>\nwill I exalt the foundations of the house of Moeb higher up from the earth than Hored,<br \/>\nand Moeb shall be the lower house of My kingdom.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. The voice of Jehovih departed and God saluted Ha&#8217;jah in the name of the Father. And a<br \/>\ngreat light enveloped the house of Moeb, and the es&#8217;enauers chanted a hymn of praise.<br \/>\nThereafter God arose and stood in the throne of Jehovih, saying:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. Hear ye O all ye people of heaven above and heaven below, the house of Moeb in the<br \/>\nbeginning of the second resurrection is founded in Jehovih&#8217;s name. Proclaim ye the words<br \/>\nthat have gone out of my mouth, to the east and west and north and south, and to the swift<br \/>\nmessengers of the arcs of the firmament above.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. Glory, glory be to Jehovih! Boundless and Almighty Creator, Present, and full of love,<br \/>\nwisdom and power, glory to Thee forever and ever, amen!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. The house of Moeb chanted a proclamation. The swift messengers assumed their<br \/>\nrespective globes of light, and began to ascend in every direction, carrying the word to the<br \/>\nexalted spheres.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. And God crowned Ha&#8217;jah as the sub-God of Hored, and he was proclaimed to all the<br \/>\nquarters of heaven and earth. And the history of his name exists to this day as Jah,<br \/>\namongst mortals. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Moon,\u00a0Memorial Sabbath Book of Sethantes Chapters 13 and 14 Chapter 13 1.
