Book of Aph, Chapters 13 and 14<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Chapter 13<\/span><\/p>\n

1. All things prospered in heaven for many years, nor were there great wars on earth, nor
\nfamines, nor epidemics. And the Lords of the earth had sufficient loo’is for all the
\nFaithists, so as to control I’hin marriages to bring forth sons and daughters who would
\nrejoice in heaven.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. And as fast as they died on the earth, these angels were carried to heavenly places
\nsuited to them, where they were handed into the care of asaphs and entered as es’yans. But
\nthe Lords appointed no loo’is over the barbarians; and only commanded the ashars to
\nwatch for their spirits in the hour of death, and, if possible, to bring them to the organic
\nplaces of God in Hored. And mostly they were so brought. This continued for many<\/span>
\nyears; but in course of time the familiar spirits aroused up the barbarians, and they began
\nto have dreams and see visions, for their familiars talked to them during sleep. And when
\nthis became common, Jehovih said:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Behold, the time is come to appoint loo’is to abide with the barbarians. For herein will I
\nreveal a great secret, which is that My chosen on earth cannot subdue it; for they are a
\nharmless and defenseless people. Therefore, have I created the barbarian wisely; for he
\nshall drive away and destroy all evil beasts and serpents; and the forests shall fall down
\nbefore him.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. For this purpose the loo’is shall select marriages with the view of raising up great kings
\nand queens. But since, in the olden time, the kings depended on the prophets of God for
\ncounsel, and thus were advised against killing anything I had created alive, they
\nquarreled; so in this time of the new heaven ye shall permit the kings and queens to
\nconsult the spirits of the dead with the talents I have given them.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. This was done also; and the barbarians were attended by familiar spirits, many of
\nwhom took upon themselves any name pleasant to the ear, some of them calling
\nthemselves God or Lord, or after the name of some great king of the olden time. And
\nthese familiars, being stupid, supposed themselves to be such persons.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. The result of their stupid impressions was to inspire the barbarians to believe they were
\nattended by Gods or Lords, or by the spirits of kings or queens; and so they held up their
\nheads and began to think. For as it had been said by the Gods of ancient times: Some are
\nled by flattery, some by self-conceit, some by duty, some by love of righteousness; but
\nthere are others who can be led to self-improvement by persuading them they are chosen
\nespecially by some God or Lord, or the spirit of a renowned king or queen, to work
\nwonders.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. God said: There was a certain sick man who could not be cured by the physicians; so
\nthere came a foolish woman, seeing visions, and said to the sick man: To-morrow thou
\nshalt be healed. God hath been trying thee; but thou hast proven thyself in soul, and
\nthy God will withdraw the spell of thy infirmity; behold, thy God standeth by thee.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Now on the following day the sick man put forth his own spirit and rose up and was
\nwell; wherefore, it hath been adjudged even deceit may accomplish what truth could not.
\nSuffer then the familiars to lead the barbarians on for a season, but be ye watchful at the
\nproper time to appoint new spirits to be with them.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. God said: Instruct the Lords that the time is now come to reveal to mortals, especially
\nto the I’hins, the seven tetracts; for, as the ashars are withdrawn a pace, so shall mortals
\nadvance a pace.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. Which is to say: These are the inheritances of all men born on the earth: A<\/span>NASH<\/span>, which
\nis persistent stubbornness, by word or thought; Z<\/span>IMMAH<\/span>, <\/span>wicked device; R<\/span>A<\/span>, <\/span>delight in
\nbeing bad; B<\/span>ELYYAAL<\/span>, <\/span>worthlessness; A<\/span>VEN<\/span>, <\/span>vanity and self-conceit; D<\/span>IBBAH<\/span>, <\/span>slander and
\nreporting of evils; and S<\/span>A\u2019TAN<\/span>, <\/span>to be a leader, and especially to the delight of the other six
\nentities.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. These are the members of the Beast of all men and women under the sun; nor is any
\none without them in some manner or degree. Go ye, therefore, to the Lords and say to
\nthem: Jehovih hath set the beginning of the resurrection through Aph, His Son, Chief of
\nthe arc of Noe, to lay the tetracts on the shoulders of mortals.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. The marshals of the Council provided messengers who were at once sent down to the<\/span>
\ndifferent divisions of the earth; for the tetracts were some of the words selected in heaven
\nto be given as everlasting names, whereby, in after ages, the tribes of Faithists might be
\ndiscovered; and they were given alike to the Faithists of Guatama, Jaffeth, Shem and
\nHam, who were the sons of the arc of Aph preserved on the earth in that day. For these
\nwords were provided in the Hebraic, Vedic and Algonquin languages, to be synonymous,
\ntill the coming of the kosmon era.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Chapter 14<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1. The voice of Jehovih came to God, saying: Behold, the time draweth near when Aph,
\nMy Son, shall commit the care of Hored and her affairs to another God, for another four
\nhundred years. This, then, is the commandment of thy Creator, O God: Hored shall
\nadvance to the second resurrection; but the first resurrection shall be established with My
\nLords.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. And when the Lord hath a sufficient number of souls who are advanced to take the
\nsecond resurrection, then shall they be brought to this, My holy place, where they shall be
\nfurther prepared for the next resurrection.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. This was accomplished; and heavenly kingdoms with thrones for the Lords, for the first
\nresurrection, were established on the earth, and in the divisions of the Lords. So that there
\nwere allotted to these Lords’ kingdoms thirty-three years for a resurrection, because
\nthirty-three is the division of dan corresponding to one hundred dans to each cycle.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Accordingly, every thirty-three years thereafter there was one migration of a group
\nfrom the Lord’s first resurrection to that of Hored, which was God’s second resurrection.
\nWhereby the light of dan fell on two hundred years, four hundred years, five hundred
\nyears, six hundred years and one thousand years, which became the base of prophecy for
\neach cycle from that time forth for a long period.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. God said: Close the gates of Hored, and from this time ever after only those of the
\nsecond resurrection can enter. And it was so. And Hored was extended over Jaffeth,
\nShem and Ham to the second degree; but of Guatama this is the manner of her heaven:
\nThe Lord made two kingdoms, the first and second resurrections, and allotted the first to a
\nproxy in his own name, but over the second he presided in person, teaching his people by
\nproxy of God in Hored. For the distance of the sea lay between these heavens; and the
\naccess could not be made in the diminutive light of thirty-three. Nevertheless, the Lord
\nand his attendants maintained an etherean ship that enabled him to cross the sea at
\nintervals of eleven years.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Accordingly now, in the second resurrection, new colleges were established in heaven,
\nand the spirits began the study of elements and illustrations in es and uz, and the process
\nof travel and of carrying corporeal entities. And these spirits were at times, under ashars,
\ntaken down to mortals to assist in miracles and legerdemain. For the lessons in the second
\nresurrection embraced the mastery of corpor in analysis and synthesis.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. After the first year of God in Hautuon, he went therefore every eleventh year and
\nremained one year of the earth’s time; so that in two hundred years he made eighteen
\nvisits. Now on his first visit he brought back with him a certain number of volunteers,
\nbeing of those raised by the arc of Noe; and the next visit he brought back twice as many
\nas the first; and the next time three times as many as the second, and increasing for the<\/span>
\neighteen visits. And on the last visit it was estimated how many he had brought back in
\nall, and the number was one thousand millions. And they were raised to the second
\nresurrection, having been under the training of the Gods and Goddesses of Hautuon,
\nunder the direction of Aph, son of Jehovih.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. And now that the time of dan was drawing near, and Aph should return to provide for
\nthe ascent of Jehovih’s harvest, God looked up with a cheerful heart; for it was evident
\nthat by the expiration of the two hundred years from the submersion of Pan, many of the
\nspirits delivered from the earth in that day would be prepared to take the second
\nresurrection. Wherefore God prophesied, saying: Through Thee, O Jehovih, in another
\nhundred years I shall have delivered them into etherea (Nirvana) as Thy Brides and
\nBridegrooms.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
