Kabalactes said: My most high Holy Council, Lords of heaven and earth, give ear. This<br \/>\nday, my scouts on the borders of Vridat, my suburban kingdom in Tua, saw a light<br \/>\ndescending, like a world on fire. Consternation came upon my dutiful subjects, fearing<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">some foreign God menaced their liberties. To appease them, Hathav, my Lord in<br \/>\ncommand, dispatched hither messengers, to know my will.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. But when they arrived, others came also, but from the heavenly plateau, Itussak, my<br \/>\nnorthern kingdom, with the same ominous tale. Then others, from other kingdoms in my<br \/>\nheavenly regions. Some have seen the light but faintly, some have seen it brilliant as a<br \/>\npillar of fire. Whilst here, within our well secured heavenly seat, it hath been only as a<br \/>\nfalling meteor.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. Speak, my Lords, know ye more of this?<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. Maithivi, Lordess, said: All Highest of Gods, be considerate of womanly fears, and<br \/>\ndetract accordingly from my magnified expressions. To me, this descended star is some<br \/>\nfar-off ally with God, Jehovih&#8217;s worshiper in Paradise. For by the course of the falling<br \/>\nlight, it landed thither. Is not this some stratagem to re-establish Jehovih, whom we have<br \/>\nchased from earth and heaven?<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. Fiebowh, Lord, said: It is not a year since some other foreign God descended to<br \/>\nParadise. Behold, this last one cometh from the same angle beyond Chinvat.<br \/>\nPeradventure, the former was but a scout sent from some realm, which hath now<br \/>\nanswered this mighty airavagna?<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. Sin Loo, Lord, said: It was said of old: When the heavens clear, look out for Jehovih&#8217;s<br \/>\nworshipers, the infidels against the reigning Gods. Now, behold, in the very season when<br \/>\na&#8217;ji flieth away, and our souls are on the eve of rejoicing, here cometh an ominous<br \/>\nmeddler with our slaves, to do us mischief.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. Thus spake many Lords, alarmed; for a secret sin, as slavery, justified by the master&#8217;s<br \/>\nconscience, being held down, is easily tormented with suspected griefs, not yet come to<br \/>\npass.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. And more than this; in Kabalactes&#8217;Holy Council of one million members, were many<br \/>\nwho had been long promised preferment and higher dominion than to legislate for<br \/>\nanother&#8217;s kingdom; and they had received nothing worthy of the name, for more than a<br \/>\nthousand years.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. And these had a small spark of hope left, that some external disaster to Kabalactes&#8217;<br \/>\nextensive kingdoms would open the way for rich adventures in their own behalf, with<br \/>\nmillions of slaves to do them reverence.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. So, even whilst their tongues upheld their monstrous idol, Budha (the false), their<br \/>\nown souls were equally perfidious.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. When many of the Holy Council had spoken, then again Kabalactes went on: My<br \/>\nmarshal in chief shall select a host a million strong, and provide them an arrow-boat; to<br \/>\nwhich command I appoint, Teanvettas, general, to go to Paradise in my name, greeting, to<br \/>\nlearn the will and pleasure of this adventurous God that cometh to the vanquished<br \/>\nkingdom of Jehovih&#8217;s Son; to offer him the freedom of my kingdom for a monthly visit.<br \/>\nPerchance, he hath never seen a city built of gems and precious stones; and the palace and<br \/>\nthrone of the all highest God. The which to look on may abash him from undertaking<br \/>\nsome foolish scheme.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. Now, accordingly, from the false Budha&#8217;s magnificent heavenly kingdom, there went<br \/>\nout an arrow-boat, the most precious gem ever built in these heavens. And in it a million<br \/>\nhosts, arrayed as very Gods and Goddesses in splendor. Whilst Teanvettas, with his<br \/>\nshining crown and blazing jewels, bespake his general-ship as from a rich kingdom.<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. Two hundred thousand slaves worked the boat, and many of these had been in earthlife Budhist priests, and were now serving their apprentice-ship of two hundred years, in<br \/>\norder to have the privilege in future time of crawling on their bellies to see the throne of<br \/>\nBudha (the false), and see their all highest ideal God.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">14. Thus, then, went the arrow-boat, in all its glory, to Paradise, seat of Jehovih&#8217;s Son.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Book of Es, Daughter of Jehovih Chapter 4 Chapter 4 THE ALARM IN HARACTU, HEAVENLY PLACE OF KABALACTES, THE FALSE, BUT REIGNING BUDHA. 1.
