Book of Aph, Son of Jehovih, Chapter V, Chapter VI<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Chapter 5<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Jehovih said: Now will I bewail thee, O earth. The glories of thy heavens that are past
\nand gone shall be a lesson to the Gods. Thy place of Hored, once the place of the wisdom
\nof My Son, Sethantes, upraised, behold it is measured and gone down. And Moeb is no
\nmore: Yeshuah is fallen. Where floated the plateaux of many resurrections, are now
\nmiring vampires and millions of souls that hear not and see not, but are forever burrowing
\ndeep in everlasting darkness.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. The plateaux are broken up; the substance scattered and unorganized; nor is there a
\nvestige left to show the glorious work of the Gods of the earth’s past day.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Hear me, O ye Gods and Goddesses, for in beholding these deep miseries, the soul is
\nquickened to retain great wisdom: Thus created I man; out of darkness created I him; and
\nMy holy angels taught him to walk upright and gave him My commandments that he<\/span>
\nmight advance to eternal light. But because man obeyed not the commandments of My
\nGod and Lords, he fell. Nevertheless, a few obeyed the commandments and fell not,
\nraising up heirs for the glory of My heavens above.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Of such have I made an example on all the corporeal worlds I created; for those that
\nfell not, became exemplars before the fallen; for having faith in Me and My works they
\nquestioned not My wisdom and justice.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. But of those that fell, this is the history: They first questioned My Person; next My
\nWisdom; next My Justice; next My Power. And after that proclaimed the folly of God
\nand his Lords; whereupon they usurped to themselves to say: There is nothing higher than
\nman. And they said of themselves: I am the highest.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Hear My voice, O ye Gods and Goddesses; for as out of a contrary wind I give a mortal
\nsea-captain a wholesome lesson; or as out of a severe winter I give a corporeal farmer a
\nlesson in providing for his household; even so, on the brink of a wicked world, give I ye a
\nlesson on the management of My kingdoms. For from this time forth the earth shall not
\nfail; nor her heavens above her. Wherein, then, shall not My Gods rule over her in
\nwisdom and power?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Since many angels assumed they were the All Highest, they put aside the
\ncommandments, one of which was: To suffer not the spirits of the newly dead to return
\nand dwell with their mortal kindred; for they, not knowing of the higher heavens, will
\nteach falsely of Jehovih and His everlasting kingdoms.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. And it came to pass that when one commandment was set aside the others were also;
\nand it followed that the spirits of the newly dead, who were without knowledge of
\nheaven, led mortals in their own way.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. For they dwelt together and slept together, and in dreams and visions mortals judged
\nthemselves to be wise, not knowing they were obsessed in sleep; and for the desires of the
\nflesh they found acquiescence in spirit, having no higher God or Lord.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. And as one spirit returned and fastened itself on a mortal, so did another and another,
\ntill hundreds and thousands of spirits dwelt in one corporeal body, oft driving hence the
\nnatural spirit I gave in the time of conception; and these mortals knew it not; and they
\nbecame void of direct purpose because of the confusion of soul, and they were worthless
\non the earth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. Jehovih further said: Henceforth for a long season shall it be on the earth that the
\nspirits of the es’yans shall not be suffered to return and dwell with mortals. But the earth
\nshall be encompassed on all sides with walls of emun, and with ashars to bear away the
\nspirits of the dead in the hour of death.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. But there shall come a time when mortals are capable of comprehending these
\nmatters, in which time their kindred spirits shall return at intervals from their holy labors
\nin heaven, and see them and talk with them face to face.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Chapter 6<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

1. And now Aph, Son of Jehovih, said: When the etherean hosts were arranged in due
\norder, I called out to Thee, O Jehovih, saying: In Thy Strength and Wisdom, O Father,
\njoin Thou the heavens above and the earth below!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. And the end of the etherean column that extended to Chinvat, on the border of the<\/span>
\nvortex of the earth, was made fast by the pressure of Thy wide heavens.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Again I said: In Thy Strength and Wisdom, O Jehovih, join Thou the heavens above
\nwith the earth below!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. And the end of the etherean column that extended down to the earth was made
\nfast around the borders of Wagga, by the sea and the high mountains on the north.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Again I said: O Jehovih, deliver Thou the earth from evil, for Thy glory, forever!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. And the vortex of the earth closed in from the extreme, and lo, the earth was broken! A
\nmighty continent was cut loose from its fastenings, and the fires of the earth came forth in
\nflames and clouds with loud roaring. And the land rocked to and fro like a ship at sea.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Again I said: O Jehovih, deliver Thou Thy heavens, which are bound as with a chain,
\nto a rotten carcass.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. And again the vortex of the earth closed in about on all sides, and by the pressure, the
\nland sank down beneath the water, to rise no more. And the corporeans went down to
\ndeath; and the fetals and familiars gave up the battle; neither had they whereon to stand,
\nnor knew how to go to any place in all the heavens, but were lost and crying out for help.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. And my hosts hastened in all directions with their birth-blankets, and received the druj
\nand fetals and es’yans in millions and millions, and gathered them to the place of the
\nfountain of light, whither I had provided atmosphere for them, and they were placed
\nwithin. And their numbers were so great that even Gods had scarce seen the like before;
\nand in order to attest before Thee, O Jehovih, I had them numbered, using the sections of
\nthe divisions of my Gods and Goddesses in order to do so.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. And there were of druj and fetals sixteen billion six hundred millions, many of whom
\nhad lived on earth as fetals and druj for thousands of years, though many others of them
\nwere not capable of everlasting life. And of the first resurrection there were thirty-six
\nthousand millions; and of the second resurrection there were three hundred and five
\nmillions. But during the last hundred years the earth brought forth none capable of
\neverlasting life, save, indeed, the remnants of I’hins.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. Now when the earth was delivered, and there was no escape for the spirits of the dead,
\nnor no returning to mortals, I called out to Thee, O Jehovih, saying: Give me of Thy
\npower, O Jehovih, and I will carry up all the plateaux of hell and the heavens of the
\nburied continent! And Thy hand came as the blade of a sword, flaming like fire,
\nand swept over the ocean of the sunken land, cleaving all asunder. And, lo and behold,
\nthe anchorage of my feet was cut loose, and the spheres of heaven at my command.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. Thy voice, O Jehovih, came to me, saying: Descend thou, My Son, down to the floor
\nof the resurrection, and take My Daughter, Fiatisi, with thee, and go into the midst of the
\nplace of ascension, for I will add unto thy glory the resurrection of all that thine eyes have
\nbeholden.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. So I descended, and took Fiatisi, Daughter of Jehovih, with me; and when we were
\ncome into the place commanded, Thy power came upon the place, and it started
\nupward; and soon thereafter it turned on its vertical axis and rose higher and
\nhigher, turning and rising; and we saw we were loose from the earth, and no longer
\nrotated with the earth, but rose slowly upward, watching the earth rotating beneath us.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. I said: Upward, O Jehovih! Upward, O Jehovih! Upward, O Jehovih! And all the
\nhosts repeated the same words, for our wills and knowledge were as a unit, wherein we
\nhad strength in Thee, Our Creator! <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
