The Loo&#8217;is came before God, and having organized themselves into one community, so<br \/>\nas to make it lawful to speak in Moeb, they appointed Ga&#8217;wasa to speak on behalf of the<br \/>\ncommunity. Ga&#8217;wasa said:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. Hear me, O God, in the name of Jehovih! Thou hast ordained me according to the<br \/>\ncustom of heaven, to be a master of generations with mortals, and yet one generation is<br \/>\nincomplete, wherefore I have come before thee. This day I have been summoned by<br \/>\nJehovih, through thy messengers, saying: To as many as desire to enter the next<br \/>\nresurrection, come, for the time of harvest is at hand. Thus saith God, Son of Jehovih.<br \/>\nBehold, now, another generation do I desire to dwell on earth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. God said: The places of heaven are open to all. If thou wouldst ascend now, do even<br \/>\nso. If thou wilt tarry one generation, then thou shalt tarry two hundred years, for of such<br \/>\nperiod will be the next harvest.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. Ga&#8217;wasa said: In Jehovih&#8217;s name, let my brethren pass before thee in judgment.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. God said: Jehovih&#8217;s will be done.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. Ga&#8217;wasa withdrew and went and told his brethren what was said; and presently they<br \/>\ncame in and passed in judgment before God.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. God said: Thou hast said, let me pass in judgment before thee! Hear me, then, for this<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">is my judgment: If thou ascend with thy work incomplete, thou wilt be the unhappiest of<br \/>\nmen. Remain, therefore, for a greater glory is within thy reach.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. The Loo&#8217;is passed to the left, signifying their determination to tarry yet two hundred<br \/>\nyears more with mortals.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. After the Loo&#8217;is, came others desiring to be adjudged by God, and to all who had<br \/>\nincomplete work, God said: Remain! And they remained.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. Besides these were seventy thousand ethereans eligible to ascend, who volunteered to<br \/>\nremain with mortals another two hundred years. Amongst these were the five Lords and<br \/>\nHa&#8217;jah, and four hundred messengers belonging to Hored, and seven hundred women in<br \/>\nfetal, in the western division of Hored under Waga.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Chapter 18<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">1. Jehovih spake in the arc of O&#8217;wasti, in the Orian field of Hon&#8217;she, in the etherean<br \/>\nheaven. Jehovih said: The time of the earth is at hand; the deliverance of her first-born<br \/>\nwill fall at your doors. Come forth, O My sons and daughters, receive ye them from My<br \/>\nhand.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. Onesyi, high aspiring Goddess of Hon&#8217;she, and the thousand counselors, gathered in a<br \/>\nhost of five millions of souls, emancipated, and to them the dignified Onesyi spake,<br \/>\nsaying:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. Unlike all harvests heretofore delivered to us from other corporeal worlds, Jehovih<br \/>\nsendeth us the first-born of the earth. Let us rejoice and glorify Him, O my beloved. Send<br \/>\nforth to the boundaries of Hon&#8217;she and proclaim the hosts of earth upraised. Provide them<br \/>\nwith mansions and quarters, ye that remain at home. And ye that volunteer to go to the<br \/>\nearth to receive them, come quickly.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. Onesyi said: Swift messengers have just come to me from the arc of Wan; Etisyai will<br \/>\nbe there. She it was who bestowed Jehovih&#8217;s crown on the first God of the corporeal<br \/>\nearth. Her hosts, a million strong, go by the way of Tivyus, and pray we meet them in<br \/>\nO&#8217;wea. And thou, Wistaw, shall sit on my throne. I will to the earth, to receive the thirty<br \/>\nmillion newborn, the glorious gift of Jehovih.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. Onesyi said: The young virgin earth hath given birth. O the joy of the firstborn! I will<br \/>\ntake with me a host of singers, a million strong. Their voices shall have power and<br \/>\nsweetness to win the love and adoration of all the thirty millions. The glory of Jehovih&#8217;s<br \/>\nworks shall shine so brilliantly upon them that all past trials shall be forgotten. Hasten, O<br \/>\nye Gods and Goddesses! Let down the curtains of fire! Here begins the play of Jehovih in<br \/>\nthe management of a new world!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. Now gathered together men and women, long raised up in the emancipated heavens,<br \/>\nwhose wills were potent over a&#8217;ji and nebulae, and swift in appropriating what Jehovih<br \/>\nhad fashioned in the firmament. And they built a ship, the size of which was equal to the<br \/>\nwidth of Hored, and filled it within with angels of the rank of Gods and Goddesses, many<br \/>\nof whom had been brought forth into life before the earth was created, and whose native<br \/>\ncorporeal worlds had gone out of existence. And they let down curtains from the ship, and<br \/>\nthe curtains were like flames of fire, and they reached downward, equal to the breadth of<br \/>\nthe earth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. These Gods and Goddesses were as a unit in will, and potent and swift workmen, and<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">the ship was laden, and on her course through the vault of heaven. Past the a&#8217;jian fields of<br \/>\nChe&#8217;wang she rode swiftly. Soon the hosts of the much-loved Etisyai were seen in a<br \/>\nsmaller craft, highly polished and swift, making way for O&#8217;wea.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. Up goeth a shout of joy from millions of throats, then a song of delight; heaven is<br \/>\njoyful in Jehovih&#8217;s boundless dominions. And now the twain approach O&#8217;wea; and they<br \/>\nslacken speed and near each other, nearer and nearer, till the ships touch and are joined by<br \/>\nskilled workmen.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. Forth leap the two Goddesses, Etisyai and Onesyi, and in no stateliness or ceremony,<br \/>\nbut like children in whom love is transcendent, they fly to each other&#8217;s arms, amidst the<br \/>\noutburst of joy from the countless throng. Yet onward moves the etherean ship, majestic<br \/>\nand meteor-like, steadily taking course to the new earth.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Book of Sethantes Chapter XVII, Chapter XVIII Chapter 17 1.
