Book of Jehovih Chapter 6<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1. When man comprehended the earth he looked upward; and Jehovih saw him
\nand knew the desires of his soul. So Jehovih sent his son Uz, and Uz spake, saying:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Hear me, O man; the mysteries of heaven and earth will I clear up before thy judgment.
\nThou art the highest, and comest to the chiefest of all kingdoms; from Great Jehovih shalt
\nthou learn wisdom, and none shall gainsay thee.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Bethink thee, O man, of the magnitude of Thy Father’s kingdoms and His places in the
\nfirmament. Save I take thee up to the heaven, thou canst not comprehend the places
\nthereof.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Man then rose up in spirit and ascended into the firmament, for his spirit had
\ncrystallized into separateness; and Uz and Es ascended with him, speaking in the voice of
\nthe Father. And man beheld that each and everything in the firmament was orderly, and<\/span>
\nstill each to itself located. Then spake Es, saying:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Behold, O man! As a farmer soweth corn in one place, and wheat in another, and
\nroots in another, and flax–everything in a separate place; even so doth Jehovih store the
\ningredients of which worlds are made–everything in its place–the substance of the iron
\nin one place, the substance of the stones in another, the substance of the vegetable
\nkingdom in another, and even so of the substance of the animal kingdom; and the oils
\nand sand; for He hath places in the firmament of heaven for all of them. These that
\nthou sawest are the a’ji and the ji’ay and the nebulae; and amidst them in places there is
\nse’mu also. Let no man say: Yonder is hydrogen only, and yonder oxygen only. The
\ndivisions of the substances of His creations are not as man would make them. All
\nthe elements are to be found not only in places near at hand, but in distant places also.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. When the Father driveth forth His worlds in the heavens, they gather a sufficiency
\nof all things. So also cometh it to pass that when a corporeal world is yet new and
\nyoung it is carried forth, not by random, but purposely, in the regions suited to it.
\nHence there is a time for se’mu, a time for falling nebulae, to bury deep the forests
\nand se’muan beds, to provide coal and manure for a time thereafter. So is there a time
\nwhen the earth passeth a region in the firmament when sand and oil are rained upon it
\nand covered up, and gases bound and sealed up for the coming generations of men.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. And man said: I am ashamed in Thy sight, O Jehovih! I looked upward and said,
\nBehold the sky, it is nothing! Then I said: It is true, the corporeal worlds are made of
\ncondensed nebulae; but I saw not the wisdom and glory of Thy works. I locked Thee up in
\ncoincidences and happenings. Thy unseen world hath become seen; the unreal hath
\nbecome the real.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. O that I had been mindful of Thee! O that I had not put Thee afar, nor imagined laws
\nand decrees. Teach Thou me, O Jehovih! How was the beginning of man? How was it
\nwith the first of the living that Thou broughtest forth?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Jehovih said: Have I not declared Myself in the past; in My works have I not provided
\nthousands of years in advance? As I have shown system in the corporeal worlds, know
\nthou, O man, that system prevaileth in the firmament.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. To the tree I gave life; to man I gave life and spirit also. And the spirit I made was
\nseparate from the corporeal life.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. Out of se’mu I made man, and man was but as a tree, but dwelling in ha’k; and I called
\nhim Asu (Adam).
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. I looked over the wide heavens that I had made, and I saw countless millions of spirits
\nof the dead that had lived and died on other corporeal worlds before the earth was made.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. I spake in the firmament, and My voice reached to the uttermost places. And there
\ncame in answer to the sounds of My voice, myriads of angels from the roadway in
\nheaven, where the earth traveleth. I said to them, Behold! A new world have I created;
\ncome ye and enjoy it. Yea, ye shall learn from it how it was with other worlds in ages
\npast.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. There alighted upon the new earth millions of angels from heaven; but many of them
\nhad never fulfilled a corporeal life, having died in infancy, and these angels
\ncomprehended not procreation nor corporeal life.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

15. And I said, go and deliver Asu from darkness, for he shall also rise in spirit to inherit
\nmy etherean worlds.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>16. And now was the earth in the latter days of se’mu, and the angels could readily take on
\ncorporeal bodies for themselves; out of the elements of the earth clothed they themselves,
\nby force of their wills, with flesh and bones. By the side of the Asuans took they on
\ncorporeal forms.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

17. And I said: Go ye forth and partake of all that is on the earth; but partake ye not of the
\ntree of life, lest in that labor ye become procreators and as if dead to the heavens whence
\nye came.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

18. But those who had never learned corporeal things, being imperfect in wisdom,
\ncomprehended not Jehovih’s words, and they dwelt with the Asuans, and were tempted,
\nand partook of the fruit of the tree of life; and lo and behold they saw their own
\nnakedness. And there was born of the first race (Asu) a new race called man; and Jehovih
\ntook the earth out of the travail of se’mu and the angels gave up their corporeal bodies.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

19. Jehovih said: Because ye have raised up those that shall be joint heirs in heaven, ye
\nshall tread the earth with your feet, and walk by the sides of the new born, being guardian
\nangels over them, for they are of your own flesh and kin.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

20. Fruit of your seed have I quickened with my spirit, and man shall come forth with a
\nbirth-right to My etherean worlds.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

21. As I have quickened the seed of the first born, so will I quicken all seed to the end of
\nthe earth. And each and every man-child and woman-child born into life will I quicken
\nwith a new spirit, which shall proceed out of Me at the time of conception. Neither will I
\ngive to any spirit of the higher or lower heaven power to enter a womb, or a fetus of a
\nwomb, and be born again.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

22. As the corporeal earth passeth away, so shall pass away the first race Asu; but as I
\npass not away, so shall not pass away the spirit of man.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
