Think not, O man, that I am insufficient to the times and seasons. Or say thou that God<br \/>\nspake in the dark days of the earth, but latterly holdeth his tongue.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. Behold, I am thy elder brother, even as a captain of the earth and her heavens for<br \/>\na season. As I am, even so were my predecessors in the time of the ancients:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. Embassadors of the Most High, Jehovih!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. Whose power and wisdom are given unto me, even after the same manner as are thy<br \/>\nearthly kingdoms governed and disciplined.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. Whereby order may contribute to the resurrection of all of His created beings.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. First, I charge thee that whoso saith: G<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">OD<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">, G<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">OD<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">! calleth in vain.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. I am not come to establish, but to abolish all Gods and Lords and Saviors amongst<br \/>\nmortals.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. For what is past, is past.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. But whosoever, henceforth, heareth my word and the decree of my commandment, and<br \/>\ncontinueth to make an idol of any name, save the Great Spirit, blasphemeth against his<br \/>\nCreator.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. But whoso cryeth out in fullness of heart, saying: G<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">OD<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">, G<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">OD<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">! meaning thereby the<br \/>\nEver Present, the Creator, is not a blasphemer before me.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. And whoso saith: O<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">RMAZD<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">, O<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">RMAZD<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">! meaning thereby the Ever Present, the Creator, is<br \/>\nnot a blasphemer before me.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. And whoso calleth any name in any language that signifieth the Ever Present, the<br \/>\nCreator, is not a blasphemer before me.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. And whoso saith: B<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">RAHMA<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">, B<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">RAHMA<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">! signifying a God in figure and shape of a man,<br \/>\nsitting on a throne in heaven, is a blasphemer against Jehovih, the Ever Present, the<br \/>\nCreator.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">14. And whoso saith: B<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">UDAH<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">, B<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">UDAH<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">! signifying a God in figure and shape of a man,<br \/>\nsitting on a throne in heaven, is a blasphemer against Jehovih, the Ever Present, the<br \/>\nCreator.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">15. And whoso saith: K<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">RISTE<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">, K<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">RISTE<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">! signifying a God in the figure and shape of a man,<br \/>\nsitting on a throne in heaven, is a blasphemer against Jehovih, the Creator, the All Person.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">16. And whoso calleth on the name of any other man or angel, worshipping such as a<br \/>\nGod, is an idolater in my sight.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">17. Nor do I judge them less idolatrous than though they worshipped stone idols or graven<br \/>\nimages.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">18. And whosoever saith: D<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">EITY<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">, D<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">EITY<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">! and D<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">IVINITY<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">, D<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">IVINITY<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">! and D<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">IVINE LAW <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">and<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">NATURAL LAW<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">, are adjudged in darkness.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">19. For I proclaim my heavens open, and the way of understanding clear.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">20. Jehovih is Ever Present, and doeth by virtue of his Presence, and not by any law.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">21. And whoso saith that which will lead men to believe He is not Present, or that he hath<br \/>\ngone away, leaving certain laws after Him in His stead, the same is adjudged a<br \/>\nblasphemer against Jehovih.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">22. And whoso saith: C<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ALL THOU ON THIS <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">S<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">AVIOR, OR CALL THOU ON THAT <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">S<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">AVIOR, AND THY<br \/>\nSINS WILL BE FORGIVEN THEE<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">; <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">AND, IN THE HOUR OF THY DEATH, BECAUSE THOU HAST SO CALLED ON<br \/>\nHIM, THOU SHALT ASCEND INTO A HEAVENLY PARADISE, <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">the same is a falsifier of my kingdoms and<br \/>\na blasphemer against Jehovih.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">23. And whoso saith: C<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">OME THOU BEFORE THE CHURCH, AND BEFORE THE PRIEST, AND MAKE<br \/>\nPRAYERS AND CONFESSIONS, AND THOU SHALT BE ABSOLVED AND FORGIVEN THY SINS, <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">the same<br \/>\nare falsifiers of my kingdoms and blasphemers against Jehovih, the Creator.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">24. Nor have I provided resurrection in this world, nor in my heavens above, save by<br \/>\ngood works done unto others; and this is serving Jehovih, the All Person; and not because<br \/>\nof any worship or confessions done before any of the idols on earth or in heaven.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">25. Nor is there any redemptions in heaven to the Brahmins, nor to the Budhists, nor to<br \/>\nthe Kriste&#8217;yans, because of their prayers and confessions.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">26. But wherein good works have resulted in affiliation; and in lifting the people up out<br \/>\nof misery and crime, the same is adjudged as worship of the Great Spirit, Jehovih.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">27. Wherein the Brahmins have suffered a people to fall from knowledge into ignorance,<br \/>\nor from virtue into vice, my judgment is against them.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">28. Wherein the Budhists have suffered a people to fall from knowledge into ignorance,<br \/>\nor from virtue into vice, my judgment is against them.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">29. Wherein the Ka&#8217;yuans have suffered a people to fall from knowledge into ignorance,<br \/>\nor from virtue into vice, my judgment is against them.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">30. Wherein the Kriste&#8217;yans have suffered a people to fall from knowledge into ignorance,<br \/>\nor from virtue into vice, my judgment is against them.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">31. Wherein the Mohammedans have suffered a people to fall from knowledge into<br \/>\nignorance, or from virtue into vice, my judgment is against them.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">32. Where beggary and vagrancy and all manner of darkness have increased in any of the<br \/>\ncities or countries of any of these idolaters, my judgment is against them.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">33. They shall not excuse themselves, nor escape my judgment, by saying: O the true<br \/>\nBrahmin, or the true Budhist, or the true Mohammedan hath not fallen. These, that fell,<br \/>\nwere such as embraced not our doctrine in fullness of heart.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">34. Because my judgment is also against impotency. They have tried their respective<br \/>\nreligions hundreds of years. And they have not raised up one city of righteous people.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">35. Wherefore, I have come to put these doctrines away, and give them that which shall<br \/>\nprove itself potent in all the world.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">36. That, which I proclaim, shall be proclaimed by the angels of the second resurrection,<br \/>\nunto all nations and peoples.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">37. My light is not to one people only, save to the righteous, who serve the Creator by<br \/>\ndoing good unto all men. In my sight, the nations of the divisions of the earth are as one<br \/>\npeople only, brothers and sisters.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">38. I take from all of them their idols, their Gods; but I give them a greater, even the<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">Creator.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">39. I say to them: I suffered my children to have idols; but now, that ye are men, put away<br \/>\nyour idols, and accept Jehovih, Who is the Creator of all.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">40. Nor shall any man more say: I worship the Brahmin principle, or the Budhist<br \/>\nprinciple, or the Ka&#8217;yuan principle, or the Kriste&#8217;yan principle, or the Mohammedan<br \/>\nprinciple. For all of these have proved themselves to result in war and destruction.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">41. None of them have faith in Jehovih, but faith in their armies of soldiers, and in their<br \/>\nweapons of death.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">42. But I give unto all people one principle only, which is to serve Jehovih. This is broad<br \/>\nenough for the redemption and resurrection of all men. And I will have none other.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">43. Seek, thou, O man, to believe in the All Person, Who is Ever Present, Whose eye is<br \/>\nupon thee, Whose ear heareth thee; for He is the All One, Who is the pass-word to the<br \/>\nhighest of heavens.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">44. And thou mayest call on thy idol at the gates of my heavens, but the gates shall not be<br \/>\nopened unto thee. For I will have no quarrel in my exalted kingdoms in heaven as to Gods<br \/>\nand Lords and Saviors.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">45. Till thou art washed clean of them; coming in spotless white, a servant of the Most<br \/>\nHigh, thou canst not withstand the light of my kingdoms in heaven.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">46. But thou shalt return in spirit to the earth, and abide in the church and temple of thy<br \/>\nchosen God, wandering about, in stubbornness of heart, a prey to drujas and vampires and<br \/>\nother angels of darkness.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">47. Have faith, O man, in Him, Who created thee alive; about Him there can be no<br \/>\nmistake. Glorify Him by righteous works, having faith, that even as He brought thee into<br \/>\nlife, so will He provide unto thee, according to thy just deserts.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Book of Judgement Chapter 3 THE JUDGMENT UPON THE BRAHMINS, THE BUDHISTS, THE KRISTE\u2019YANS, THE MOHAMMEDANS, THE CONFUCIANS, THE JEWS AND ALL OTHER PEOPLES ON THE EARTH, IN THE WORDS OF GOD. 1.
