Book of Jehovih’s Kingdom on Earth Chapter 3<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1. It came to pass that many of the multitude answered Tae; and of all that thus spake, the
\nfollowing were the chief words, to wit:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Sutta said: To do what I am willing to do, is to take part in founding the Father’s
\nkingdom; therefore, hear me:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. To adjust capital and labor, that each shall contribute to the advantage and glory of
\nboth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. That the capitalist shall receive good profit on his capital; and the laborer high and
\nuniform wages.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. To adjust them that they can live side by side, equally, and neither above or under the
\nother.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. That they may have extensive domains and beautiful parks; excellent factories;<\/span>
\nvirtuous and industrious people.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. The part that I am capacitated to fill in this great work, is to reveal the key and the
\nplans; to explain all things to both, the capitalists and laborers.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. After that manner, Sutta went on at great length, and he was followed by several others,
\nwho had similar plans, but each one doubted the other’s capacity, as being qualified for
\nthe work.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Aborn spake next. He said: I have heard Sutta’s project. It is a farce. Capital and labor
\ncan not harmonize.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. And even if they could, it would be a worldly basis. It would not be the Father’s
\nkingdom.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. In His kingdom there shall be neither buying nor selling; neither servant nor master.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. Now, behold, I say to you all, men and women, as such, can not harmonize together.
\nThey are diverse in all their ideas and general knowledge.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. The only way to accomplish the Father’s kingdom is through infants, to raise them up
\nin the way they should go.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. But, even with these, failure will result, save their pre-natal condition is provided for.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

15. Therefore, the part I am capacitated to accomplish is, to become father to innumerable
\noffspring, by most exalted and enlightened women.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

16. Also, I have great knowledge of physiology, mentology and psychology, and I would
\nbe willing to be examiner and dictator as to prospective parents.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

17. Thus spake Aborn at great length; and others spake in like manner, but each one
\npreferred himself as the prospective father of the offspring.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

18. Next spake Thurtis. She said: This it is, to found the Father’s kingdom on earth; hear
\nme, that ye may understand.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

19. Behold, all things shall be possible through woman, especially as to raising up a new
\ngeneration on the earth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

20. During the period of gestation, man should not approach woman.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

21. Nay, in that period, woman should be treated as a very Goddess.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

22. Her every want and whim and notion should be gratified to the utmost.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

23. When she spake, or raised her finger, during the gestative period, every man and
\nwoman and child should run to do her service.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

24. And she should be surrounded by cultured and exalted companions and charmed with
\nsweet music and delightful entertainments.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

25. Yea, as a very Goddess should all men do her reverence.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

26. When such a woman hath a child born, behold, there will be one child for the Father’s
\nkingdom.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

27. Now, behold, give me the choice as to who shall father my children, and such a part
\nshall be my part, to help found the Father’s kingdom.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

28. After Thurtis, then spake many of the women after the same manner, and each one
\ndoubted the other’s capacity to fill the place, but recommended herself.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

29. Amos spake next. He said: I have heard all these beautiful systems; I am ready for any
\nof them. Behold, I am a landscape gardener.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

30. The part I can do is to lay out the grounds; for plots of flowers and grass and
\nornamental trees.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

31. But ye shall provide laborers for me. I work not with mine own hands; I plan and<\/span>
\ndesign; my capacity is in my talent and in my education.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

32. After Amos, then spake the five hundred physicians, each one offering himself, to be
\nthe physician for the Father’s kingdom. Then spake an equal number of lawyers in the
\nsame way.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

33. Next spake a thousand teachers of the piano, each one offering to teach the young for
\nthe Father’s kingdom.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

34. And now, with slow and solemn aspect, rose up and spake five hundred priests of
\nBrahma.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

35. They said: We have heard; we have seen. Behold, the Father’s kingdom is none of
\nthese.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

36. It is the second coming of Brahma. He shall come in flames of fire, from the east and
\nwest and north and south.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

37. By the magic touch of his wand, the different castes of men shall be sorted; and the
\ndead shall come forth from their graves, and Brahma shall judge them.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

38. The sky shall be filled with holy angels, the spirits of the saints, with wings of fire and
\nwith tails a mile in length.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

39. And the elect of the earth shall rise in glory, and be immersed in nirvana forever, even
\nat the feet of Ormazd.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

40. This it is, to found the Father’s kingdom on earth. After which, all flesh shall come
\ninto life free from sin; the corruptible shall turn incorruptible forever.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

41. Now, behold, our part, in founding His kingdom is to preach unto you Brahma’s
\neverlasting gospels.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

42. Next to speak, were five hundred Buddhist priests. They said:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

43. We have heard and seen also. Our learning, no man may gainsay. As for Brahma and
\nhis second coming, for that matter, he never came once.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

44. None have seen him, nor found his dwelling-place. Therefore he is but a superstition,
\na relic of the dark ages.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

45. Hear us, then, as to the founding of the Father’s kingdom on earth:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

46. It is the second coming of Buddha, when every knee shall bow down, and own him
\nLord of all the world.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

47. Behold, Budha shall come with two swords and twelve spears, and he shall have ten
\nthousand brides!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

48. When Budha shall blow his breath upon the earth, the graves shall be opened, and the
\ndead shall come forth, and speak.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

49. And Budha shall judge them; according to case, so will he separate them.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

50. And ten hundred times ten thousand million angels, with fiery wings and with tails
\ntwo miles in length, shall overspread the earth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

51. And all flesh shall become incorruptible; the lion shall eat straw, and the lamb shall
\nrejoice in its kin without fear.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

52. Next spake five hundred Kriste’yan priests. They said:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

53. What profanity we have heard! Behold, as for Brahma and Budha, they are but myths.
\nIt is the second coming of Kriste, which is the founding of the Father’s kingdom.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

54. Kriste said: Think not I came to send peace on earth; I came not to send peace, but a
\nsword.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

55. It is he that shall subdue all the world, and make men bow down, and own him Lord<\/span>
\nof all.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

56. He shall come in a sea of fire, with millions of archangels. And when his servant,
\nGabriel, bloweth his horn upon the earth, the graves shall open, and the dead shall come
\nforth, and speak to the living.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

57. And he shall judge them; separating them, the bad to everlasting torments, and
\nthe good, who have worshipped Him, shall rise and inherit everlasting bliss.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

58. Now, behold, the part we can do in founding the Father’s kingdom, is to preach and
\nexplain the beautiful doctrines of our blessed Lord.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

59. When many others had thus spoken, Tae said unto them: I called for such as had faith
\nin Jehovih. I am not in the labor of founding a kingdom for Brahma, nor Budha, nor
\nKriste, nor for any one but the Creator, our heavenly Father.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

60. As for the graves opening, I have nothing to do with that; though, for the spirits of the
\ndead appearing face to face with the living, behold, that hath been accomplished now for
\nmore than thirty years, to hundreds of thousands of good people. So with that I have
\nnothing to do either.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

61. But since ye have not proved the communion of angels during all these years, how
\nhope ye to labor for the Father’s kingdom? To all such I say, go your ways; I have no use
\nfor you.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

62. At once, one-half of the multitude rose up, and departed; mocking, saying: The spirits
\nof the dead! We will have none such, but angels with wings, and with fleecy tails a mile
\nin length.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

63. Tae inquired once more: Who, here, hath faith in Jehovih, and, if we labor together in
\nHis name, living our all highest light, that His kingdom will be founded?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

64. Hundreds and hundreds said: It depends on having plenty of money and a good
\nplantation. With money, it can be accomplished; without money, it can not be.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

65. Tae said: Your faith being in money, I have no use for you. I called for those with
\nfaith in Jehovih! Therefore, go your ways also. So, many more of the multitude departed,
\nreturning to Uz also, even as had the others.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

66. Tae asked again: Who here are capable and desirous of being leaders, let them speak?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

67. More than a thousand cried out: Here! That is my part. I am suited to it by nature and
\nby experience and by great wisdom.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

68. Tae said unto them: Behold the spirit of the age in which we live! No man desireth a
\nleader or dictator over him. For that reason, go your ways also; I have no use for you.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

69. Tae asked again: Who here have made a study of this subject, and are prepared to be
\nlecturers and teachers and advisers, let them speak?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

70. And, behold, another thousand cried out: That is my strength. I can explain
\nall subjects; of diet, clothing, social intercourse, health, marriage and worship!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

71. Others cried out: I am a trance speaker; I have angel guides two thousand years old!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

72. Others said: I am inspirational; the ancient prophets are my spirit guides! St. John, the
\nrevelator! Confucius! Hosea! King Solomon! Daniel!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

73. Tae interrupted them, saying: Behold, the signs of the times show us that, as to
\nfounding the Father’s kingdom by words, sermons and lectures, they are worthless.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

74. See here; I have gathered together hundreds of helpless orphan babes. They care for
\nnone of the things that have been offered; they need washing and feeding, and their
\nclothes are to wash and mend.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>75. Who, so believing in the Father, that he will give up self, in all respects, and work for
\nthese little ones, having faith that Jehovih will provide justly and sufficiently unto all, let
\nhim come.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

76. You all do know how the farmers go about gathering up calves and colts and the
\nyoung of all sorts; and they take them to a good place and feed them; and when they are
\ngrown up, they are the choice in market.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

77. Now, behold, there are thousands of fatherless and destitute children in Uz,
\nwhich, left to themselves, either die or grow up to be thieves, robbers and murderers.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

78. These are cheaper than calves and young colts. And they may be raised to be of more
\nprofit to themselves and to the state, than ten times as many cattle.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

79. Who, then, is ready to join in this labor without money and without price, devoting
\nhis life to training them up to practical knowledge, not only of books, but to use their
\nhands in trades and factories, that these little ones may become useful citizens, and a joy
\nto themselves and glory to the Father. Let such speak.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

80. And, now, behold, fifty men and women spake, saying: Take us, in Jehovih’s name.
\nWe have neither whim or conceit to carry out.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

81. We are willing and anxious to go to this labor, and we know Jehovih will provide
\nunto us. From day to day His Light will shine upon us, and we shall know what to do.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

82. Thy children shall be our children; thy hardships our hardships. We come not for rest,
\nnor glory, nor for comforts; but we come to serve Jehovih in whatsoever He may give us
\nto do for His kingdom.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

83. Tae said: In Jehovih’s name, I accept you. Whatsoever is mine shall be yours also.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

84. Thus it came to pass, out of all the thousands and thousands who came, only fifty
\nwere accepted.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

85. And the others went their way, mocking, saying: A most beautiful Father’s kingdom
\non earth!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
