This is the word from the organic heaven:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. Hear the words of thy God, O man, I am thy brother, risen from mortality to a<br \/>\nholy place in heaven; profit thou in my wisdom, and be admonished by my love.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. For as I am thy elder brother, so shall it be with thee, to rise also in time to come,<br \/>\nand look back to mortals and call them to the exalted heavens of the Almighty.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. To Jehovih all adoration and glory, forever, Amen!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. By and through Him is all life and motion, and power, things seen and unseen.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. Nor is there an angel in heaven so high, or sufficiently wise to comprehend Jehovih in<br \/>\nHis entirety, nor to see Him as thou seest thy fellow man.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. For He is within all; beyond and over all:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. Being Ever Present in all places:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. Doing by Virtue of His presence:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. Quickening all the living:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. Adorable above all things:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. Even as the sun is to the light of day, so is Jehovih to the understanding of all the<br \/>\nliving:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. Whereon to contemplate is the road of everlasting life, rising in wisdom, love and<br \/>\npower forever.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">14. Hear thy God, O man, and distinguish then that the twain, God and Jehovih,<br \/>\nare not the same one; nor more is thy God than what thou shalt be in time to come.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">15. First, mortality, then death, which is the first resurrection; such are the spirits<br \/>\nof the dead, angels dwelling with mortals upon the earth, where they abide, some for a<br \/>\nfew years, some for a hundred and some for a thousand or more years.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">16. Second, angel organization in heaven, and their abandonment of mortals, which is the<br \/>\nsecond resurrection.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">17. As a kingdom on earth hath a king, and the king is nevertheless a mortal, so in like<br \/>\nmanner is the heavenly place of thy God a kingdom of angels, and the chief over them is<br \/>\nGod, an angel also.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">18. Howbeit the kingdom of thy God embraceth all the heavens of the earth. So is it also<br \/>\nwith all the corporeal worlds and their atmospherean heavens, a God and organic heavens<br \/>\nbelonging to each and all of them.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">19. Nor is this all; for there is a third resurrection, in which the angels rise still higher in<br \/>\nwisdom, love and power, and are sent by thy God into etherea, mid-way between<br \/>\nthe planets, the highest of all heavens, over which there are Chiefs, who are also Gods<br \/>\nand Goddesses of still more comprehensive attributes.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">20. Therefore I am as any other spirit of the dead, a one time man upon the earth, even as<br \/>\nthou art in this day; but one within the organic heavens of the earth.<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Book of Discipline,\u00a0Chapter 1 GOD REVEALETH WHO HE IS. 1.
