When At-yesonitus&#8217;generals and their hosts went through Vind&#8217;yu and Jaffeth and<br \/>\nArabin&#8217;ya, they concerted with the Gods who had in charge the inspiration of Capilya,<br \/>\nMoses and Chine. And not only did the angel generals remove the drujas from mortals,<br \/>\nbut inspired mortal kings and queens in those great divisions of the earth to issue edicts<br \/>\nagainst magicians and priests who consulted with spirits.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. Jehovih had said: It shall be a testimony in the latter days unto the inhabitants of the<br \/>\nearth of My proceedings; not with one division of the earth only, but with all places. For<br \/>\nthey shall in after years search history and find that in the same era in these three great<br \/>\ndivisions of the earth the kings and queens issued edicts against spirit communion. And<br \/>\nthis fact shall be testimony of My cycle of Bon; wherein man shall understand that I come<br \/>\nnot in one corner of the earth only, and to one people only; but that I have them all in My<br \/>\ncharge, as a Father that knoweth his own children.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. Neither give I unto them the same aspirations; for one I send westward to circumscribe<br \/>\nthe earth; one I build up with a multitude of languages, and a multitude of Gods; and the<br \/>\nthird one I build up without any God save Myself. And they shall understand that where<br \/>\nthere are many languages there are many Gods worshipped; where there is one language,<br \/>\nthere is only One worshipped, even I, the Great Spirit.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. For in kosmon I will bring them together; and these diversities shall be as a key to<br \/>\nunlock the doctrines and languages of times and seasons long past.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. Man living away from other men becometh conceited in himself, deploring the<br \/>\ndarkness of others, and great nations become conceited of themselves and their doctrines.<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. Each one of the great peoples saying: Behold yonder barbarians! I was the chosen in<br \/>\nHis especial care. Those others are only heathens, and have not been worthy of the Great<br \/>\nSpirit&#8217;s concern.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. But in this day I plant the seed of My testimony, which shall come up and blossom and<br \/>\nbear fruit in three thousand years.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. At&#8217;yesonitus and his generals, with their millions of angel hosts, cleared off the<br \/>\ndrujas of the earth, the angels of darkness. They extended east and west and north and<br \/>\nsouth, around all the earth, in all the divisions thereof, into every nook and corner.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. Day and night At&#8217;yesonitus and his armies labored, ceased not nor rested, but in good<br \/>\nmethod went right on, filling all the lowest place of heaven with their transport boats of<br \/>\nfire.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. And the boats sped hither and yonder without ceasing, loaded in their ascent with the<br \/>\nscreaming, frightened drujas, all under guard, and duly preserved against accident or harm<br \/>\nby the wise angels over them.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. Some drujas were easily captured and carried away; some weak, helpless and<br \/>\nharmless; but hundreds of millions of them mad, and most desperate; some evil, fearful in<br \/>\ndesperate oaths, and foul talk, and dangerous withal.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. But others were most pitiful in their love to linger with their mortal kindred; mothers,<br \/>\nwhose children dwelt on the earth; and children spirits, whose mothers dwelt on the earth.<br \/>\nTo separate them and carry away such drujas was a most heart-rending task, requiring<br \/>\nGod-like souls to accomplish it.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. Jehovih had said: As a mortal mother will cling to the mortal body of her dead child,<br \/>\ntill her friends must tear them apart, the while all souls who look on are broken-hearted<br \/>\nbecause of her love, even such is the bond betwixt the spirit of the dead and the mortal yet<br \/>\nleft behind.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">14. But when My wise angels look upon them, and perceive they are carrying each other<br \/>\ndown in darkness, then shall they be torn asunder; and the spirit shall be taken away and<br \/>\nprovided for ultimate resurrection, and only permitted to visit the mortal kin under due<br \/>\nguardianship.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">15. On the battle-fields of the earth were hundreds of millions of spirits in chaos, still<br \/>\nfighting imaginary battles, not knowing their bodies were dead; knowing naught but to<br \/>\ncurse and fight; roving over the battle-fields, and would not away, save by capture and<br \/>\nbeing carried off.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">16. Thus did At-yesonitus and his mighty hosts clear the earth. But of their great labors<br \/>\nand wonderful adventures a thousand books might be written, and thousands of heroes<br \/>\nsingled out, whose great achievements overwhelm one&#8217;s belief because of the manifested<br \/>\nlove and power.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">17. And yet not much less were the labors and adventures of Yussamis in Ugadisspe and<br \/>\nher six heavenly places, where his etherean hosts labored unceasingly, preparing places,<br \/>\nand keepers, and nurses, and physicians, and teachers for the delivered drujas, the<br \/>\nthousands of millions.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">18. Jehovih said unto Yussamis: Thou shalt assort the drujas; the peaceful to themselves;<br \/>\nthe dumb to themselves; the mad, the chaotic, and all other of My afflicted ones; provided<br \/>\nsections and places for them. And teachers and nurses and physicians; for they shall be<br \/>\ndelivered out of darkness also. Yea, every one of them shall become as a star of glory in<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">heaven.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">19. And Yussamis and his Gods developed the six heavens of Ugadisspe; established<br \/>\nplaces for the tens of millions of drujas; and provided order and discipline, and altars of<br \/>\nworship, and schools, and colleges, and factories, and all things whatsoever required in a<br \/>\nprimary heaven.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Chapter 24<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">1. Jehovih spake to Lika, saying: Behold, the end of dawn draweth near; go thou<br \/>\nonce more around about the earth and her heavens, and examine into the labor of<br \/>\nthy Gods. And thou shalt take with thee thy Rapon hosts, and a sufficient number<br \/>\nof heralds and attendants, and such musicians and messengers as thou desirest.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. And when thou art come to Yaton&#8217;te, My subjective heaven, thou shalt halt a while<br \/>\nwith Kaparos, and re-establish it in greater holiness and efficiency. For this is Mine only<br \/>\nsubjective heaven in the regions of the red star.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. Behold, the spirits of those that die in infancy call out to Me, saying: Tell us, O Thou<br \/>\nCreator, how is it with the earth? How is it with mortals who dwell on the earth? What<br \/>\ndo they toil at? Have they schools and hospitals and factories, like unto ours? Have<br \/>\nmortals mishaps <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">and <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">trials? And <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">have they <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">roadways, <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">and oceans <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">of water <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">on the <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">hard earth?<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. How can these things be, O Jehovih? Why is it that mortals can not go down into the<br \/>\nearth and into the bottoms of their oceans, even as we do in the heavens?<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. How didst Thou create us alive in the earth? What was the place like? Why do mortals<br \/>\ncarry around with them such earth-houses (bodies)? Can not they go in them and out of<br \/>\nthem at pleasure?<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. What do mortals mean, O Jehovih, by mortal life and mortal death? Doth the clay and<br \/>\nstone and water they dwell in (the earth body) have life and death? What do they mean<br \/>\nby: This is mine and That is thine?<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. Shall every one retain his own body? How do the earth bodies grow? Do they eat clay<br \/>\nand stone? And water? Where do they get their blood? And do they eat hair, that they<br \/>\nmay have earth hair?<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. Why is it that they bring not up their bodies with them when they are dead? Wear they<br \/>\nclothes over the spirit body only, or over the earth body also?<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. Great are Thy works, O Jehovih! Take me to Yaton&#8217;te, Thy great subjective heaven.<br \/>\nWe would learn by figures in pantomime the illustrations of the earth. We would learn by<br \/>\nThy panoramic heaven what mortals do? How they live and what their schools are like?<br \/>\nHow they have contrived to teach the corporeal senses by corporeal things? How<br \/>\ntheir boats are made and propelled; how their vehicles travel along upon the solid earth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. Jehovih said: For which reason, O Lika, thou shalt see to it that Yaton&#8217;te be perfected<br \/>\nunto this instruction, as well as to arouse from stupor the spirits of the dead who desire<br \/>\nnot to raise up from the earth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. Lika told the Rapon hosts Jehovih&#8217;s words; and he also gave command to his chief<br \/>\nmarshal to provide the necessary otevan with officers, heralds, musicians and messengers.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. Accordingly, as soon as all things were in readiness, Lika committed the throne of<br \/>\nJehovih, in Theovrahkistan, to his vice-God; and Lika and the Rapons, with their<br \/>\nattendant hosts, departed on their journey.<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. Now, since the time of Lika in the plateau of Theovrahkistan, it had become habited<br \/>\nby thousands of millions of angels, and they were high in the grades.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">14. So that the officers of selection were already preparing them by the millions for<br \/>\nBrides and Bridegrooms to Jehovih. And there were thousands of heavenly cities besides<br \/>\nYogannaqactra, which were now in beauty, gaiety, refinement and delight, with music,<br \/>\nand rites and ceremonies most magnificent.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">15. Then there were officers over these officers, whose place it was to sort and arrange<br \/>\nthe inhabitants of cities; and others over these for each one hundred and forty-four cities;<br \/>\nand yet another over these officers, and he was called M<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ARSHAL OF <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">T<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">HEOVRAHKISTAN<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">. And<br \/>\nhe was of the same rank as the marshals of the hosts of Lika, conferring with the M<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ARSHAL<br \/>\nIN <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">C<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">HIEF OF <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">J<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">EHOVIH\u2019S <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">T<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">HRONE.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Weekday Sabbath Book of Lika Chapters 23 and 24 Chapter 23 1.
