God’s Book of Eskra Chapters 13, 14 and 15<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Chapter 13<\/span><\/p>\n

1. And there came to Paradise, of Lords and high officers, whose heavenly places had
\nfallen, different companies of tens and twenties and even hundreds, from various
\nheavenly regions around about the earth, and having secured audience before God and his
\nHoly Council, they said:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Since we have been faithful in all things, and dutiful servants to Jehovih, what
\nhave we gained? Our kingdoms and high places have fallen to pieces from no fault
\nof our own. Yea, our angels have gone off into anarchy. Where, then, is the justice
\nof Jehovih?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. God said unto them: Of what profit under the sun is discussion?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. If ye fail in one way, try another; and in no case seek to justify yourselves before
\nJehovih. He is Judge!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. There are already hells that have been standing for years. Is it not wiser that ye join
\ntogether, and go and deliver them? Behold, Jehovih hath furnished us roadways
\nbeforehand; and His Voice came to us prophesying that this same darkness would come
\nupon us. And ye were advised, and had sufficient time to provide for the worst.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>6. Go ye forth, then, not complaining, but rejoicing, and in Jehovih’s name doing with all
\nyour wisdom and strength, regardless of favor.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Thus they came, group after group, for years, before God; but were forever rebuked in
\nthe spirit of Jehovih, and they went away, but not to work righteously, but to sympathize
\nwith one another, and to complain against God and against the Holy Council of Paradise.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. In groups they assembled in places of their own, and began to philosophize on the ways
\nof heaven and earth. And every one was sworn within himself to do no evil thing, but to
\nfind some more respectable way of serving Jehovih, than by going amongst the ignorant
\nand depraved.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. And they became habituated in their meetings, in three places in hada; in Haractu, over
\nVind’yu, in Eta-shong, over Chine’ya, and in Hapsendi, over Egupt. And these became
\nlike great heavenly cities, because of the congregating of the angels of heaven, which
\ncontinued for many years.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. Now, finally, they resolved to organize each one of these three places with a distinct
\nhead, and to unite the three heads as one confederacy; and the whole to be dedicated to
\nthe service of Jehovih. Thus was founded the C<\/span>ONFEDERACY OF THE <\/span>H<\/span>OLY <\/span>G<\/span>HOST<\/span>. And by
\nacclamation, three angels were raised to the three capitals, namely: Kabalactes, of
\nHoractu; Ennochissa, of Eta-shong; and Looeamong, of Hapsendi. And each and every
\none of the three took the title, S<\/span>ON OF THE <\/span>H<\/span>OLY <\/span>G<\/span>HOST<\/span>. <\/span>These three had all been Lords, and
\nwere high in grade.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. Ennochissa selected seven angels, and gave them the rank of Lord, namely: Haptu,
\nVazista, Mira, Erasigi, Adamon, Amesh and Cacpa.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. Kabalactes selected seven angels, and gave them the rank of Lord, namely:
\nLi Wan, Amatar, Wenates, Howickam, Shong Tsee, Massaqactus and Enniseabab.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. Looeamong selected seven angels, and gave them the rank of Lord,
\nnamely: Petubusetta, Rodi, Monulithens, Zitullia, Miriam, Zestes and Abarothmes.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. Such, then, was the established confederacy, which was to play so great a part in the
\nhistory of heaven and earth. And it differed from all other confederacies, because its
\nmembers all professed to serve Jehovih. And it required of all its people an oath of
\nallegiance to Jehovih, but under the name, Holy Ghost, for they denied His Person as
\nsuch.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

15. And God admonished them, saying: Though ye be wise in your own conceit, yet shall
\nye fail. For, having denied His Person, then will ye yourselves become the Person in the
\nunderstanding of the multitude. And herein will ye, soon or late, come to grief.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

16. But nevertheless, the confederacy heeded not the words of God. And God was grieved
\nat heart, for Jehovih’s sake.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chapter 14<\/span><\/p>\n

GOD PROVIDETH FOR THE BIRTH OF KA\u2019YU.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

1. God said: Behold, three conditions are now within the heavens of the earth; Anarchy
\nby the false Gods and their slaves, the confederacy of the Holy Ghost, and the Faithists in
\nJehovih and His resurrections.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Now, therefore, let my chief loo’is come before me, and hear the decree of God.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. The Lord said: When the chief loo’is had come before the throne, God said unto him:<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>4. Know then, O Thoanactus, thou shalt go down to the earth, to the land of Chine’ya, and
\nby inspiration bring forth a birth, capable of the All Voice, but not capable of su’is. And
\nthou shalt accomplish this service so that he shall be born into the mortal world at the
\ntime a’ji ceaseth to fall upon that land.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. And thou shalt provide him with great learning and great adversity and great
\nexperience withal. For he shall establish the fundamental doctrines of the nations of
\nChine’ya. For his followers shall become the most numerous and peaceful inhabitants on
\nthe face of the earth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. And as thou preparest for his birth by thy mastery over the generations of mortals, so
\nshalt thou, through these, thy hosts, raise up such as shall become disciples. For however
\ngreat a man thou mightest raise up, it is wisdom to have also born into the mortal world,
\nat the same era, such hosts of philosophers as shall follow him, and indorse his doctrines.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. For by this means the establishment of Jehovih and His light amongst mortals shall
\nextend the whole length and breadth of that land. How sayest thou?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Thoanactus said: Jehovih’s will and thine be done. This is a most welcome labor, O
\nGod. And I know, the voices of my hosts are with me.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. God said: In Jehovih’s name, thee I crown, C<\/span>HIEF OF THE <\/span>H<\/span>OSTS OF <\/span>L<\/span>OO\u2019IS<\/span>, for the land
\nof Chine’ya, for the birth of an heir for the All Voice of the Great Spirit.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. Thoanactus was then crowned, and his hosts were provided with badges by God, for
\nthey were filed before the throne, and hosts saluted, and departed with due ceremony.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. Such, then, was God’s labor for having born into the mortal world, after many
\ngenerations, one that hath become known to the uttermost regions of the earth as K<\/span>A\u2019YU<\/span>.
\nOf him, more anon.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chapter 15<\/span><\/p>\n

GOD PROVIDETH FOR THE BIRTH OF SAKAYA.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Again God called before his throne a million loo’is, and appointed Etchessa chief over
\nthem, saying:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Thou, O Etchessa, shalt go down to the earth, to the land of Vind’yu, taking these hosts
\nwith thee. And thou shalt establish a heavenly place of worship, which shall be thy headquarters.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Behold, I have given thee many generations in which to bring about the desired result.
\nSurvey thou, then, the generations of Faithists in that land, and take thy choice as to place
\nand caste and family.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. He, whom thou shalt bring forth for this purpose, shall be of some royal family, a
\nprince of high estate.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. I shall prove through him, that for love of righteousness, and to serve Jehovih, he will
\nforsake his kingdom and family and friends, and all earthly things and desires, and make
\nhimself as a poor man, dwelling with the poor, laboring with them, teaching them, and
\ninstructing them.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. For, because of the idolatries that will be amongst these people, they will be bound in
\ncaste; but he, whom I will teach through, shall prove unto the world that the service of
\nJehovih requireth of men, that Jehovih shall stand uppermost, even above kin and caste.
\nIn the example of which willing sacrifice, man shall be taught, that all the evils of the<\/span>
\nearth can be overcome.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. And thou shalt provide unto this man many disciples, and roadways for him to travel,
\nand places to preach; and provide followers unto him, to go about with him. For without
\nthese, his preaching and practice would be of little avail. See to it, then, that thy hosts
\ncontrol the generations of men, that there may be born in the world a sufficient number,
\nto be disciples and followers of his doctrines, that he may be a power in the world for reestablishing the Faithists in the Great Spirit.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. And thou shalt so provide these births, that they will be of the same period of time.
\nWhat sayest thou, Etchessa?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Etchessa said: In Jehovih’s name I am thy servant, with rejoicing. And I answer thee
\nalso for these my hosts, that this is a joy unto them, for Jehovih’s glory.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. God said: To which end I crown thee, C<\/span>HIEF OF <\/span>L<\/span>OO\u2019IS, <\/span>for the land of Vind’yu!
\nAnd God crowned Etchessa; and he gave badges to the other loo’is.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. And thereafter Etchessa and his hosts filed past the throne of God, duly saluting,
\nand they also departed, going to the earth, to the land of Vind’yu. Thus were
\nloo’is empowered of God, to bring into the world the heir. S<\/span>AKAYA<\/span>. More of him anon.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
