Chapter 1, Chapter 2<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">BEING THE SECOND CYCLE AFTER THE FLOOD.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">CHAPTER I.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">1. Jehovih spake in the gardens of Atahavia, precinct of Sue, Orian Chief, in the etherean<br \/>\nfirmament, saying: Sue, My son, what of the red star, the far-off earth? Behold, her<br \/>\nharvests are blighted; she is become barren in imparting immortal souls to My unending<br \/>\nrealms.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. Sue heard the voice, and he said: In Thy name, O Jehovih, will I summon my Gods of<br \/>\nHoit and Izaracha.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. Swift messengers departed; and Sue, quick-perceiving God of two worlds in the<br \/>\netherean Seamar, foresaw the importance of the coming red star. He said: This, with my<br \/>\nGods of Hoit and Izaracha, who will come in swift speed, shall be the second deliverance.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. Then came Le Wing, God of Hoit; and presently, Sivian, Goddess of Izaracha, and they<br \/>\nstood before Jehovih&#8217;s throne. Sue said:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. Jehovih hath spoken. Behold, the red star bringeth forth nor sons nor daughters more to<br \/>\nJehovih&#8217;s realms. She is weak, unstrung, and out of tune, and cometh this way. And I said:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. In Thy power and wisdom, O Jehovih, will I visit the red star! Six years I will stand on<br \/>\nher soil, and course her heaven; and such potency give to her confused Gods and Lords as<br \/>\nwill make a thousand millions sing for joy. To accompany me, I have called you. Behold,<br \/>\nI have charts and maps of her heaven and her corporeal parts; and a history of her, as yet,<br \/>\nyoung adventures in the field of worlds.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. Then spake Le Wing and Sivian, saying: To do Jehovih&#8217;s will and thine, behold, we are<br \/>\ncome to thee. Give us to fulfill whatsoever thou wilt.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. To the swift messengers Sue said: Ye have heard; go proclaim throughout my etherean<br \/>\nworlds my will; and summon up from Ithyivius a hundred million skilled volunteers.<br \/>\nWhen the red star shall cross the wing of Izaracha, we will go forth in power, and land on<br \/>\nher troubled parts in a sea of golden light.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">CHAPTER II.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">1. In the Ariniisca of Portan of the etherean worlds and division of Hoit and Izaracha,<br \/>\nflew the call of the Gods for volunteers, nor which a more welcome sound is not heard in<br \/>\nhigh heaven to do Jehovih&#8217;s will. And with the voice and call there rose up hosts from<br \/>\nevery quarter, and from every sub-division, till the complement stood ready for the great<br \/>\nwork. And yet so vast were the fields and arcs of Izaracha that the hundred millions<br \/>\nchosen were as but a fraction compared to those left uncalled.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. Coming near the throne of Sue in Aoit, the hundred millions formed in squares and<br \/>\nstars, and the chosen God took his place to the head and front, looking to the low horizon,<br \/>\nwhere rose the red star, the sick earth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. And now the builders who had measured the elements lying in the route toward<br \/>\nthe earth, formed their crescent ship of fire, and equipped it; and, with mantles<br \/>\nand curtains and banners, created it a vessel of beauty and ornament as well as service.<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. Hardly was the ship completed when Jehovih&#8217;s light encompassed it about on all sides,<br \/>\nso that that which was beautiful before was now illuminated and sparkling and bright as a<br \/>\nsun, and rich in golden colors; for of such kind was the ethe of the heavens hereabout<br \/>\ncreated.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. When Sue entered the ship, the voice of Jehovih came, saying: Another cycle came and<br \/>\nis gone on the earth and her heaven, but still they fall to barrenness ere the succeeding<br \/>\ndawn. Go now, O Sue, My Son, and a wider range give to the tetracts of both angels and<br \/>\nmortals. Give a greater scope to tyrants, kings and queens on earth, and greater to the self-Gods and self-Lords in hada, and more responsibility.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. Then all hands entered the etherean ship, singing and rejoicing, observed by countless<br \/>\nmillions come to wish them a haven of joy on their six years&#8217; visit to the corporeal earth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. Sue said: In Thy name, O Jehovih, and by virtue of Thy power in me vested, my hosts<br \/>\nshall forth at my command. Cut loose, ye Gods, and thou, O ship, of heaven born, to the<br \/>\nred star, the earth, be gone! And Sue stretched forth his hands and waved them, and lo,<br \/>\nthe mighty ship of heaven turned on its axis, cutting loose from the high firmament. And<br \/>\nit turned, with its great curtains and banners sailing gracefully and swiftly through the<br \/>\nblue ether.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. The music of her es&#8217;enaurs swelled and rolled along on the spheres of many worlds<br \/>\nunseen to mortals, where dwell countless millions of spectators viewing the marvelous<br \/>\nspeed and power and brilliant colors of the great ship. Faster and Faster she sped on, till<br \/>\nnearing Chinvat, which now cut sharp in the fields and forests of Izaracha, over which<br \/>\nwas potent the name of Sue, the companion God and chiefest friend of Aph, Orian Chief,<br \/>\nSon of Jehovih.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. When the ship came to the bridge and halted, to take in the plan of the whirling<br \/>\nearth, Sue said: A light! A light! Ye Gods! And at once, as high as the moon and bright<br \/>\nas the son, the illumined ship stood, to overawe the self-Gods and warrior kings<br \/>\nand murderers of the earth-born, whose plentiful souls in chaos polluted heaven.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. For three days and nights Sue held his star-ship to the wonderful task of mastering by<br \/>\nthe marvelous scene. And then slowly he entered the vortex of the earth, but held his<br \/>\ncourse, nor with the earth and her heaven; for he desired that both corporeans and<br \/>\natmosphereans should witness the coming power. So slowly he came, but fifty thousand<br \/>\nmiles a day, that when the ship neared the disorganized Hored, the self-Gods and self-Lords fled and left their well-supplied kingdoms desolate, and down to the earth rushed in thousands, and with their hosts in millions, to hide or safely stow themselves from Agni&#8217;s<br \/>\njust hate.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. But the true God and Lords stood firm in their depleted kingdoms, fearing naught,<br \/>\nbut in faith that this etherean ship was Jehovih&#8217;s answer to their long cry for help<br \/>\nfrom the heavenly spheres. And by their pillars of fire still standing, great Sue<br \/>\nknew where to land in the lower heaven for safe anchorage. So to Hored he came,<br \/>\nslowly, and toward the throne of God. And when he neared the place, his<br \/>\nes&#8217;enaurs chanted and the trumpeters played; the sound of which music came to the<br \/>\nears of God and his hosts, and they were the hymns of more than a thousand years ago.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. And God and his hosts sent up rockets and displayed the three primary colors, the sign<br \/>\nof Jehovih&#8217;s name; and God&#8217;s es&#8217;enaurs joined in chanting with the hosts above. Presently<br \/>\nthe ship of fire was at the place of landing, and Sue, Jehovih&#8217;s Son, cast out a ladder and<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">descended, with his hosts, the hundred million angels, led by Gussitivi, marshaless of the<br \/>\nthrone of Sue, in Izaracha.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. Sue said: Hail, O God of heaven and earth! In Jehovih&#8217;s name, I am come in power<br \/>\nand wisdom. And God answered: Glory be to Thee, O Jehovih, that Thy Son hath come<br \/>\nso far to bless Thy bewildered kingdom! Then they saluted with the signs of the sixth<br \/>\nresurrection, whereupon God said:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">14. In the name of the Great Spirit, come thou and honor my throne. So Sue went<br \/>\nforward, and they greeted by shaking hands; and Sue ascended and sat on the throne,<br \/>\nsaying: Keep thy place, O God, for I am not come to displace thee or thy hosts of Jehovih,<br \/>\nbut to build up for His glory. Be seated, therefore, for I feel the light of the Father<br \/>\ndescending on my head.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">15. Presently the All Light enveloped Sue, and the Father&#8217;s voice spake through him,<br \/>\nsaying: Hear the words of thy Creator, My son, and rejoice because I have not forgotten<br \/>\nthee and thy people. Behold, this is the hour of thy redemption from the trials of tetracts,<br \/>\nwhich are run abroad in My dominions.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">16. Was it not worse than this in the olden time? and I came with my hosts and delivered<br \/>\nthem. I created man in darkness and gave to him no judgment, that the creation of his own<br \/>\nthoughts might be for his own glory, forever. But instead of beautifying his thoughts, he<br \/>\nhearkeneth to tetracts and clotheth himself in clouds. The heaven I build for him he<br \/>\ndiggeth to pieces, and then buildeth his own, but only to be displeased and turbulent.<br \/>\nNeither will he content himself with providing with his own hands, but searchest<br \/>\nout My most dutiful sons and daughters, making slaves of them for his own exaltation.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">17. Behold, I have afore time sent My sons and daughters to search out these traitors and<br \/>\nself-Gods, declaring unto them that only by forsaking evil and practicing righteousness<br \/>\ncould they attain to My exalted kingdoms. Their evil places have I cast down, and rebuilt<br \/>\nin honor and glory, that their own judgment might determine that virtue and good works<br \/>\nare the sure foundation for happiness that will endure forever. But when I have raised<br \/>\nthem up in one cycle and made the lower heaven a paradise, alas, My ethereans have but<br \/>\ngone away for a little while when the tetracts take root, and grow, and turn all things<br \/>\nupside down.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">18. But now will I build them up in a new way. Yea, I will appropriate the evil of their<br \/>\ninventions to their own good in a way they dream not of. The false Gods and false Lords<br \/>\nshall be arrested and brought before this judgment seat, and I will judge them by their<br \/>\nown behavior and desires; neither will I torment them nor abridge their happiness. Send,<br \/>\ntherefore, My Son, thy marshals into the hidden places of these Gods and Lords, and say<br \/>\nto them: Thus saith the hosts of heaven: Come, My Son, and inherit a kingdom in hada, in<br \/>\nthine own way, for lo, there is room for all; but that thou art not left behind, come quickly<br \/>\nto Hored.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">19. And they will come, hoping to embellish themselves in the old manner. But My Light<br \/>\nshall come in due time in Mine Own way.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">20. The voice ceased, but Sue spake of his own account, saying: What Jehovih hath<br \/>\nordered, do ye. So marshals and priests were sent in all directions in atmospherea to<br \/>\ngather in the false Gods and false Lords who had deserted their dominions in fear of the<br \/>\nlight of Sue&#8217;s etherean ship. And after many days the false ones were brought to Hored;<br \/>\nand there were of them seven thousand Lords and Gods.<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">21. Now when they were before Sue, Jehovih&#8217;s Son, and arranged so that all could hear<br \/>\nand see, even the whole Council beside, the Light gathered around about the throne, and<br \/>\nSue addressed them, saying:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">22. Hear me, O men and women! I have sent for you, and ye are here. In this I am<br \/>\npleased. Know, then, that what I speak shall be in love and tenderness. Ye have deserted<br \/>\nJehovih&#8217;s kingdoms, and it must be because it pleased you better than to remain. Is this<br \/>\nnot true? And ye also deserted your own false kingdoms?<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">23. For a little while they consulted together, and then answered, saying: Nay, it pleased<br \/>\nus not to desert our own kingdoms; but we were afraid.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">24. Sue said: Who think ye I am? They answered: A God from some far-off world, but<br \/>\nwhere it lieth we know not. We desire to know who thou art?<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">25. Sue said: I am but a man; fear me not. But since ye feared, and so deserted your<br \/>\nkingdoms, does it not prove that ye are not the All Highest? And do ye not perceive that,<br \/>\nbecause ye had no All Highest, ye were divided and inharmonious?<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">26. Hear, then, that which I say, and consider my words: I want not your kingdoms nor<br \/>\nanything ye have; but, that harmony may reign in heaven, I will give every one of you<br \/>\nmore than ye had, and add power unto you also.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">27. Since ye behold I am come to Hored, the throne of the ancients, perceive ye not that<br \/>\nwhosoever accordeth with me is of my power also? Take, then, your kingdoms and be<br \/>\nGods and Goddesses, as ye assumed before, and I will anoint ye, and make ye as part<br \/>\nand parcel of one united whole. Again they counseled together, and then answered:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">28. Why shall we take our kingdoms? Our slaves have deserted us; our kingdoms are<br \/>\npillaged of all their value. Yea, our slaves have become wandering spirits, and are<br \/>\nreturned to the earth and are making their habitations with mortals. So that the people of<br \/>\nearth are aroused because of miracles and wonders occurring on earth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">29. Sue said: What can ye say to these wandering spirits that will induce them to come up<br \/>\naway from mortals? To which they answered: If we promise them provender and clothes<br \/>\nand plenty of rest, they will come; but when we put them to labor, they will run away,<br \/>\nhaving tasted of liberty.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">30. Sue said: How, then, made ye slaves of them in the first place? To which they<br \/>\nanswered: We took them in the day their mortal bodies died, and they never saw<br \/>\nnor knew any other place in heaven; so we appropriated them to our service dutifully.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">31. Sue said: Know, then, this is my conclusion: First that ye shall all be made as sub-Gods to one confederacy, and your kingdoms shall be fair to look upon, and well supplied with all things needful.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">32. Behold, there are on earth, with the barbarians, hosts of familiars and fetals; whoever,<br \/>\nthen, of you will go down to the earth and bring them away to Hored shall have them for<br \/>\nhis slaves; and, whoever bringeth the greatest number, will I award the greatest kingdom.<br \/>\nAnd if it be that ye can find emissaries to work for you in bringing fetals and familiars<br \/>\naway from the barbarians, then shall such labor be accounted to your credit. And ye shall<br \/>\nstation around about in the corporeal cities certain angels, whose labor shall be to receive<br \/>\nnewborn spirits on birth-blankets and bring them to your kingdoms also, for they shall be<br \/>\nyour slaves.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">33. After that manner spake Sue; and the false Gods and Goddesses were highly pleased,<br \/>\nand they divided themselves into certain districts over mortals and for the lower heaven,<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">and were at once sent off to labor in their own way, and they were named sub-Gods.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">34. Sue said: These sub-Gods have much weight with the barbarians, because they advise<br \/>\nthem in war. But, behold, it shall come to pass when the sub-Gods have robbed the<br \/>\nbarbarians of their familiar spirits, the I&#8217;hin priests will have a greater weight with them.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">35. And the sub-Gods will desire to find favor in my sight, and so, teach their slaves, the<br \/>\nwhich will cause them to emancipate themselves in time to come.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Book of Sue, Son of Jehovih.
