Book of Aph, Son of Jehovih Chapter IX, Chapter X<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Chapter 9<\/span><\/p>\n

1. When the time came, God called his proper officers, and they proclaimed his presence,
\nwhereupon the people came to order. And God said:<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>2. Even as it was before the submersion, so shall it now be, and ye shall fill the same
\nplaces even as before, every one to the place provided. Nevertheless, from this time forth,
\nall work in heaven and earth shall be new, and as if nothing had been. Let my Lords and
\ntheir attendants, and their ashars, prepare for their departure; and from such other
\nvolunteers as have come into my kingdom they shall receive as they desire, and be
\nassigned to labor suited to them, whether it be with mortals or with spirits in the first
\nresurrection.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. And to my marshals, messengers and asaphs: Hear ye the word of your God, which is
\nthat ye proceed throughout atmospherea, selecting and appropriating all suitable places
\nfor the spirits of the dead; and that ye apportion builders and workmen, and erect
\nfactories, and schools, and hospitals, and nurseries, and all other suitable places, adapted
\nto receiving those of the first resurrection, as is done in all atmospherean heavens, and all
\nwho are thus received shall be called es’yans for the first five years; but after that they
\nshall be called es’seans, signifying having separated from corporeal desire, being full
\nresidents of the es world. But those who will not become es’seans, being the spirits of
\ndruk-mortals and hard bound to the earth, shall be called druj, signifying wandering
\nspirits of darkness and of evil; and those who engraft themselves on mortals shall be
\ncalled fetals, signifying sucklings, and these names shall continue in heaven and on earth
\nto the end of the world.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Wherein ye may perceive the fault of leniency of the Gods and Lords of old, be ye
\ncircumspect in these times; for never more shall the rod of water chasten the living earth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. When God thus completed all his commandments, and the people were ready to depart,
\nthe es’enaurs and trumpeters sang and played a hymn adapted to the new heaven and new
\nearth; and when this was finished, Aph, Son of Jehovih, spake, saying:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Behold the light of the high heaven opens. Thy Son, O Jehovih, longeth for a great
\nlabor. I go on a journey farther than ten thousand suns. Fiatisi, Thy Daughter, O Jehovih,
\nand Goddess of a thousand worlds, hath set apart to join two corporeal stars in a far-off
\nheaven, whereon a thousand millions shall be delivered into spirit life in a single day.
\nWith her, by Thy Will and Power, O Jehovih, I go! But yet let not these, Thy Gods and
\nLords and all their hosts, surmise I will forget one single soul of all that are here. And
\nwhen the next dan appeareth, behold, I will return to them to enjoy a portion of their
\nsweet love. Aph is done.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. And now the Chief descended and sat at the foot of the throne, and God, suffused with
\ntears, came down and took his hand, saying: Behold, he who is greatest maketh himself
\nleast of all. Arise, O Aph, Son of Jehovih, and crowned I<\/span>MMORTAL <\/span>G<\/span>OD OF THE <\/span>A<\/span>RC OF
\n<\/span>N<\/span>OE, <\/span>S<\/span>ON OF THE <\/span>A<\/span>LMIGHTY, <\/span>arise and go thy way.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. So Aph rose up, and shaking hands with God and his Lords, descended to the borders
\nbeyond the foot of the pillars of fire, and his hosts with him, being ten millions in
\nnumber, where the proper persons had in readiness an ascending otevan with wings,
\nwherein they all entered.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. At a given signal the otevan started upward, but toward the east, and, swift as a
\nshooting star, it sped forth, and presently disappeared in the distance.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Chapter 10<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Jehovih said: Neph, My Son, God of earth, hear thou the voice of Thy Creator. For as<\/span>
\nthou calledest on Me in thy sore hour of trial, so did I come to thee and deliver the earth
\nand heaven through My son of the arc of Noe, in etherea. Remember now the upraised of
\nHautuon, heaven of darkness, in Uk’loo, in the firmament, for they are thine until the next
\ndan appeareth on the earth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. God said: I have heard Thy voice, O Jehovih; but what shall Thy servant do? Behold
\nAph, Thy Arc-Son, hath left with the upraised children of darkness, Gods and Goddesses
\nwho transcend Thy servant so far in wisdom and power that he scarce can look upon
\nthem. How, then, shall it be with me, Thy servant?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Jehovih said: Nevertheless, the upraised children of darkness are thine own family, and
\nthe glory of thy house in heaven shall be the light thou shalt make manifest in them. Fear
\nnot, the Gods and Goddesses understand this matter.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Therefore, when thou hast put thy kingdom in order, and established the heaven of the
\nearth in all its parts, and stationed messengers betwixt thy throne and the thrones of thy
\nLords on the earth, behold, thou shalt leave thy Vice-God to rule in thy stead for a season,
\nand thou shalt go to Hautuon, in the etherean forests, for thou shalt be expected of them.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. God said: Thy will be done, O Father. I perceive Thy wisdom and glory and justice.
\nNow will I sojourn on my throne one year, and thou, my Vice-God, shalt relieve me
\nwhilst I go and visit my rebellious children in Uk’loo, where Gods and Goddesses are
\noverseeing them.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. The Vice-God said: Thy will be done, God of heaven and earth. So it came to pass that
\nin one year’s time God had established heaven in such good manner that he could control
\nthe affairs of angels and men into the way of everlasting life.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. God informed his Council, which consisted of five hundred thousand ethereans, men
\nand women, of the words of Jehovih, adding thereunto:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. And for one year will I remain in Hautuon, that I may become known to them whom I
\nhave risen. But at the end of that time I will return hither, and bring with me such new
\nvolunteers as Jehovih may command.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. It was known in heaven that God would leave at the proper time; and, to honor him in
\nJehovih’s name, his hosts from far and near, to the number of ten millions, came to see
\nhim depart. And when God saw them, he proclaimed a day of recreation; and the people
\nmingled together, and especially to re-converse on the matter of the deliverance of earth
\nand heaven and the going down of Pan, as it had been.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. On the following day, all hands being refreshed and assembled in order, according to
\nthe discipline of Gods, God spake from the throne, saying:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. Hear the words of your God, and rejoice in the founding of a new heaven. Be wise in
\nheeding that which I shall utter, and make yourselves steadfast in all proven things. Here
\nare millions who stood by my side in the name of the Creator, in the days of darkness in
\nheaven and earth. For three thousand years our battle lasted; and from out of the darkness
\nbehold our prayers went up to Him who is over all and above all.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. And your God said: Surely Jehovih will deliver, when the vortex merges into Hi’dan;
\nand ye all repeated the same thing; and the unity of our souls’ desire reached up to the
\nOrian Chiefs, Jehovih’s mighty Sons and Daughters.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. For as it is proven that a man in conflict with himself accomplisheth nothing, whilst
\nhe who is in harmony with himself is mighty wherein he ruleth himself to a good
\npurpose; even so hath it been proven that the unity of many angels can, by force of their<\/span>
\nown wills, control the place and proceedings of a world. And by your faith in this matter
\nwith your God, ye became a star of faith in Jehovih, which is the mastering of all things to
\nHis glory.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. And they who were without an All Highest in Person, were without power, and of no
\neffect, save to build up discord to our proceedings. Whilst those who assumed to be Gods
\nand Lords, but ignored Jehovih, were not sustained, for having nothing higher than
\nthemselves, they rose only to themselves.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

15. Which is manifested on earth, even as it was in those days in heaven; boasting of
\ngood works or of good prayers, but housing themselves about with the earnings of others.
\nDid not these false Gods and false Lords set up self and worship it; and the fruits of their
\ninspiration, and their slaves under them, were the angels they sent to rule over mortals,
\nfor the glory of their philosophy, wherein mortals also soon said the same things of
\nthemselves, which was: Behold, there is no God nor Lord of wisdom in heaven and earth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

16. Whereby the doctrines of the false Gods and Lords overturned even their own
\nkingdoms, changing heaven into hada. But when the Light of Jehovih came, ye and your
\nGod and Lords were one with His voice. Wherefore ye have been preserved in victory.
\nAnd now hath it come to pass that your God and Lords have established a new heaven
\nand new earth for the glory of the Father. And he who labored so long in your love, now
\ngoeth to the other wing of the battle, where your brethren, toiling with those in darkness,
\nwill rejoice to hear of your fruitful labors.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

17. Then God turned to his right, and said to Eolait, Vice-God of Jehovih: Because thou
\nwert robbed of thy division of the earth, even whilst thou wert in good work, Jehovih hath
\nbestowed thee well. Thou shalt, therefore, hold the triangle of the Gods of heaven until
\nthy God returneth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

18. Thereupon God hung the triangle on Eolait’s neck, saying: In Jehovih’s name,
\nA<\/span>LL HAIL, <\/span>G<\/span>OD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH<\/span>? The hosts repeated: A<\/span>LL HAIL, <\/span>G<\/span>OD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH<\/span>!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

19. And God came down and sat on the foot of the throne, in the custom of Gods. And he
\nwho had been anointed came down and took his hand, saying: Arise, O God, and go thy
\nway! And God rose up, and the two, with their marshals and attendants, went down by the
\nborders, at the line of the pillars of fire, where the proper persons had a ship with mantles
\nand curtains in readiness; and God and his hosts, even five hundred thousand in number,
\nentered the ship.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

20. Meanwhile the es’enaurs sang an appropriate anthem of G<\/span>LORY TO <\/span>J<\/span>EHOVIH THE <\/span>A<\/span>LL
\n<\/span>H<\/span>IGHEST.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

21. At a given signal the ship started upward, amidst the applause of millions of angels
\nassembled; and like a star it shot upward higher and higher, till it was seen no more.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
