GOD’S BOOK OF ESKRA.
CHAPTER I.
1.God said: This Book shall be called Eskra, because it is the history of the heavenlycycle, Bon. It shall contain the substance of the heavenly records of three thousand threehundred years, of the first regions of the resurrection of the dead. My words are not of theearth, but of heaven.
2. For of the history of the earth ye know already; wherefore I reveal things ye know notof. Be ye profited therein understandingly, for my heavenly kingdoms will be presentlyfor your habitation.
3. As it hath been revealed to you already, in regard to the successions of the God, and theperiods of dan, and the division of the higher from the lower heavens, it is sufficient untoyou to know that which is given of God is of him who is Jehovih's voice, without regardto which administration, or which God. And to know also that that heaven referred to inEskra is not of the higher heavens, etherea, but atmospherea, which heavens travel withthe earth around the sun, which heavens were called the lower heavens by the ancients,and by some, the intermediate world. Through which heavens all souls must pass, beingfirst purified and risen in wisdom, ere they can inherit the emancipated worlds in etherea.
4. Nor are these my revelations to mortals only, but to thousands of millions of the spiritsof the dead, who know not the plan of the resurrection to higher heavens; but who wanderabout on the earth, not even knowing the organizations of the kingdoms in my lowest ofheavens.
5. Whom I reach by coming to mortals, and to places on the earth where they abide.
6. For many such angels believe the heavens to be as an unorganized wilderness, void ofgovernment and instruction and discipline.
7. And by virtue of their presence with mortals, though invisible to them, do inspiremortals with the same darkness. Wherefrom mortals have concluded there are neitherLords nor God, who are Jehovih's high officers in these kingdoms.
8. These matters shall be set forth in brief in Eskra; the fullness of which shall be openedunto mortals and angels in time near at hand; for they shall see and read the books in thelibraries of these heavens, and learn to know of their own knowledge.
9. Therefore the light of this Book of Eskra is not of one God, or one Lord, orone recording angel, who are constantly succeeding one another, but of the bodyof the first heavens of the earth for the period of this cycle which is now at the close.
CHAPTER II.
1. God, Son of Jehovih, said: Give ear, O earth, and be attentive to the words of Jehovih'sSon:

25. For My Gods and high-raised officers shall open unto thee their libraries of heavenlybooks which shall yield up My treasures. I will make the angels of heaven know Me andMy word! They shall come together from their countless heavenly kingdoms and places;for My hand and My strong arm is upon them.
26. The labors of My lower heavens shall be clothed in mortal words, and handed downto mortals. My Gods and My primal Gods and generals and captains shall uncover theirproceedings before the heavens and the earth.
27. They shall come together and be as one man with one voice, and their word shall beMy word.
28. For My prophets have proclaimed it abroad, that the time would come when I wouldreveal all things unto men; and things that were dark made plain; and things in the lightmade as heaven, rejoicing.
CHAPTER III.
1. Hear My voice, O angels and mortals! The words of the heavens of the earth are Mywords, orderly and well disciplined. No man can imitate Me; angels can not counterfeitMe. My words are from the Fountain, that erreth not forever.
2. Whoso seeth My way can not fail to understand; I quibble not, nor beat about the bush. Even Lords and Gods are as nothing in My hands. I trim them up, and prune theirorchards in Mine own way; I sift and weigh and assort, for I am Jehovih, the Almighty!
3. I am the sum of the Voice of all the lower heavens; the doings of Gods and highofficers; the Person of the word of three thousand years.
4. And My record shall be the standard for mortals and angels for thousands of years tocome. Other books and other worlds will be written and spoken, and they shall pass awayand be remembered not by angels nor men. But My words, the words of Eskra, will liveand endure forever. Then spake God, saying:
5. For I am His fountain, of the Tree of Bon; I am His cycle of the Great Serpent's e'spe,and can not die or go out of remembrance. I am as a link in a great circle, the section ofBon in the solar vortex.
6. During every cycle I come and speak, and my words are not like other words. I plantthem on the low earth, and they take root, and grow into a tree that reacheth up intoheaven. And the angels of heaven come thither and gather my words, for they are the fruitof everlasting life and of the resurrection of mortals and of the spirits of the dead.
7. Give ear, O ye nations of the earth, and magnify your understanding, for the wisdom ofthe Almighty.
8. He singleth not out one man or one God, and saith: Behold, by him judge ye Me andMy works! Or giveth the history of all the living in one book; the pith of things is the unitsprung from all.
