The Lord said: Hear, O ye of earth, and ye of the heavens thereof; hear ye of the labor<br \/>\nof God, Son of Jehovih.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. For what was given me by Jehovih, to be in my keeping for the resurrection of men and<br \/>\nangels, was gone away from me.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. My kingdoms in heaven were scattered and broken up.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. I, the God of the heavens of the earth, sent my appeal unto the four false Gods, saying:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. In the name of Jehovih, greeting unto you. Behold, what ye have done, and also what<br \/>\nhath come to pass!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. Wherein ye have copied after my ways, ye have gained dominion; but of what profit<br \/>\nunto mortals or angels?<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. Because ye knew that Jehovih&#8217;s God appointed ashars unto mortals, ye have also<br \/>\nappointed ashars unto them, though not for their resurrection, but to raise up mortals with<br \/>\nfaith in yourselves.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. Ye have thus built on the earth for the glory of your own kingdoms; for your ashars<br \/>\nteach mortals not of eternal resurrection, but of attaining unto your heavens only.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. Where and when I send angels to inspire mortals to obtain education and knowledge,<br \/>\nye send contravening angels, and they incite mortals to destroy their own libraries and<br \/>\nplaces of learning.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. Ye persuade mortals that the only good and necessary knowledge is contained in your<br \/>\nsacred books; for ye desire to prevent mortals from knowing there are other heavens than<br \/>\nyour own, and other Gods than yourselves.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. When I have gathered together wandering spirits and chaotic spirits, and provided<br \/>\nways for their resurrection, ye have sent angel emissaries to thwart my labors.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. Ye have provided wicked heavenly pastimes, and disgusting tournaments, within your<br \/>\nheavenly places, in order to win subjects for your dominions.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. Ye provide excursions from your heavenly places down to mortals, for your angels to<br \/>\nwitness battles between mortal warriors, that these angels may satiate their own evil<br \/>\ncuriosity.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">14. Ye thus degrade your own angel subjects by causing them to rejoice in the havoc of<br \/>\nmortal flesh and flowing blood.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">15. Ye thus call away from my heavenly schools and colleges angels who had begun<br \/>\nresurrection, flattering yourselves that you are thus augmenting your heavenly kingdoms<br \/>\nby additional subjects.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">16. On mortal battle-fields, where there are hosts of chaotic angels, the spirits of the slain,<br \/>\nI send my angels with heavenly ships to gather them up and restore them. But your<br \/>\nemissaries come and destroy my ships for wickedness&#8217;sake, calling it glorious sport.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">17. Of these great evils ye have been notified times and times again, but ye put not forth<br \/>\nyour hands to remedy the wickedness.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">18. Ye sell indulgencies to your angels to engage in wicked practices; and ye suffer your<br \/>\nashars to inspire mortal priests to sell indulgences to their followers in the same way.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">19. Thus do ye compound sin.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">20. Ye profess to confess the sins of your angels in your heavens, exacting servitude of<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">them as a purchase of your excuse.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">21. And your ashars inspire mortal priests to do the same things for their mortal<br \/>\nfollowers, for stipulated prices in money.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">22. Thus do your ashars prepare mortals to become slaves in your heavenly kingdoms,<br \/>\nthat they build unto your own personal glory.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">23. For ye take advantage of the infant mind, to bend it away from Jehovih, and away<br \/>\nfrom eternal progress, that ye may inherit it as your dutiful subject.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Holy Memorial Day, God\u2019s Book of Eskra Chapter 52 Chapter 52 GOD JUDGETH THE FOUR FALSE GODS. 1.
