Book of Judgment Chapter 29<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

GOD JUDGETH THE MISSIONARIES.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

1. God said: In the olden time, I commanded thee, saying: Go forth into all the
\nworld, preaching my doctrines, chief of which was: There is but O<\/span>NE<\/span>, even the I A<\/span>M<\/span>;
\nHim shalt thou love with all thy heart and thy mind and thy soul, and love thy
\nneighbor as thyself, having faith in Jehovih through righteousness and good works.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Moreover, I declared unto thee, that whosoever fulfilled my commandments, believing
\nin Jehovih, certain signs should be given unto them, whereby they might be known unto
\nmen.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. And thou wentst forth, and, behold, my signs went with thee, and thou didst
\naccomplish service unto Jehovih.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. But it came to pass, in course of time, thou didst forsake thy Creator, setting up Lords
\nand Saviors of thine own, worshipping them instead of Jehovih.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. And I looked down upon thee from my holy place in heaven, and I saw that thou hadst
\nbecome obsessed with evil spirits, thousands and millions of them, who professed to be
\nthe Lords and Saviors whom thou worshippedst.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. And I said unto my Lords: Behold, man hath erected an idol in heaven, go ye to them
\nthat preach in my name, and take from them the signs and miracles which I gave.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. And my Lords came unto thee, finding thou wert gone abroad over all the world. And
\nmy Lords cut thee short of signs and miracles.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. For this was the judgment of thy God against thee, because thou hadst turned against
\nthe I A<\/span>M<\/span>, teaching another God than Jehovih.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. And I made this, my edict, manifest on the earth; for I withdrew my holy angels from
\nthee, and, from that time forth, withersoever thou hast gone, behold, I have given thee
\nnone of the signs whereof I had been liberal before.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. And I measured the work of thy hand in the places of thy mission, and I found that
\nthou wert impotent to establish good works.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. And, following in thy path, whithersoever thou hadst gone, thousands and millions
\nof drujas followed thee; and thy people went with weapons of destruction,
\nslaughtering those Jehovih had created alive, in order to establish thy idol-God.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. And my Lords numbered all the places of thy missionaries in all the earth, and behold,
\nthere was not one place, which thou hadst established, which was not given up to sin and
\nblasphemy against Jehovih.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. Neither hadst thou raised up any member, or members in all of them, that practiced
\neven the first commandments.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. And I said unto thee: Behold, thou hast not the signs and miracles; give up thy
\npreaching, and go thou amongst the barbarians teaching them how to plant, to sow and
\nreap and clothe themselves, and to live in houses.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

15. But this was untasteful to thee in thy hypocrisy; and thou madest of thy occupation a<\/span>
\nscheme to live in worthlessness on the contributions of thy neighbors.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

16. And, behold, thy doctrines have not prospered in any place in all the world to work
\nrighteousness for the glory of the Almighty.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

17. Flatter not thyself that thou hast done a good work, because thou hast taught the
\nignorant to say: Brahma, Brahma! or Budha, Budha! or Lord, Lord! or to sing anthems in
\npraise of thy idol-God.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

18. Thy God measureth thee and thy converts according to such purification as
\naddeth to the glory of everlasting life, as well in heaven as on earth. And such
\npurification manifesteth not only in words, but in good works for the glory of the Father.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

19. And when it hath come to pass that thy mission brought about a war afterward,
\nbehold, that war is also upon thy head.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

20. I measure not a little good that happeneth for a moment, and there an end. I
\ncomprehend the lapse of scores of years and hundreds of years; and I weigh the whole
\nmatter, and render judgment in the aggregate.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

21. Neither judge I by man’s inventions or mechanical contrivances. My judgments are
\nin reference to man’s comfort and joy in life, and to his resurrection in my heavens.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

22. According to a man’s, or a people’s, ascending grade in approximating Jehovih, so
\nshall a man and a people be judged.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
