CHAPTER VII.
1. Jehovih said: Let a sign be given to the inhabitants of the earth that they maycomprehend dan'ha in the firmament of heaven. For even as I bequeathed to the earth atime for creating the living, and a time for angels to come and partake of the first fruits ofmortality and immortality, so shall man at certain times and season receive testimonyfrom My hosts in heaven.
2. And Jehovih caused the earth, and the family of the sun to travel in an orbit, the circuitof which requireth of them four million seven hundred thousand years. And he placedin the line of the orbit, at distances of three thousand years, etherean lights, thewhich places, as the earth passeth through, angels from the second heaven come into itscorporeal presence. As embassadors they come, in companies of hundreds andthousands and tens of thousands, and these are called the etherean hosts of the Most High.
3. Not as single individuals come they; not for a single individual mortal come they.
4. And Jehovih gave this sign to man on earth; which is to say: In the beginning of thelight of dan'ha, the spirits of the newly dead shall have power to take upon themselves thesemblance of corporeal bodies, and appear and talk face to face with mortals. Every threethousand years gave Jehovih this sign on earth, that those who learned the powers andcapacities of such familiar spirits, might bear testimony in regard to the origin of man onearth. Jehovih said: And when it shall come to pass in any of the times of dan'ha that these signsare manifest, man shall know that the hosts of the Most High come soon after. Let himwho will become wise, enumerate the great lights of My serpent, for in such times I setaside things that are old, and establish My chosen anew.
5. In the time of earth, when man was brought forth from mortal to immortal life, theearth passed beyond se'mu and the angels of heaven remained with corporeal man, but notin the semblance of mortals, but as spirits; and by virtue of their presence, strove to makeman wise and upright before Jehovih. Upon the earth the number of such angels wasmillions. To these angels spake Jehovih saying:
6. Behold the work ye have taken in hand! It was commanded to you all, to partake of allthe fruits of the earth save of the fruit of the tree of life, which is of the knowledge of theearth and heaven, lest ye lose your inheritance in etherea.
7. Behold, ye now have sons and daughters on the earth; by your love to them are yebecome bound spirits of the lower heaven. Until ye redeem them in wisdom and powereven to the sixth generation ye shall not again arise and inherit My emancipated heavens.
8. To which end ye shall be co-workers with one another in system and order. In Myname shall ye become an organic body and known as the heaven of the earth, or lowerheaven, which shall travel with the earth.
9. And I will allot unto you a Chief, who is wise in experience in founding heavenlykingdoms; and he shall appoint, from amongst you, officers, and messengers, and ashars,and asaphs, and es'enaurs and ye shall be numbered and apportioned unto your labor andplaces like unto My other lower heavens on other worlds.
10. And he who is Chief shall be called God of this heaven and the earth, unto his makingbestow I them.
11. And God shall have a Council and throne within his heavenly city; and the placeshall be called Hored, because it is the first kingdom of God in this firmament.
12. And God shall rule on his throne, for it is his; and his Council shall rule with him;in My name shall they have dominion over angels and mortals belonging to the earth.
13. And God shall appoint Chiefs under him who shall go down and dwell on the earthwith mortals; and such Chiefs' labor shall be with mortals for their resurrection. Andthese Chiefs shall be called Lords, for they are Gods of land, which is the lowest rank ofMy commissioned Gods.
14. And God and his Lords shall have dominion from two hundred years to a thousand ormore years; but never more than three thousand years. According to the regions of dan(light) into which I bring the earth, so shall be the terms of the office of My Gods and MyLords.
15. And God and his Lords shall raise up officers to be their successors; by him and themshall they be appointed and crowned in My name.
16. At the termination of the dominion of My God and his Lords they shall gathertogether in these, My bound heavens, all such angels as have been prepared inwisdom and strength for resurrection to My etherean kingdoms. And these angels shallbe called Brides and Bridegrooms to Jehovih, for they are Mine and in My service.
17. And to God and his Lords, with the Brides and Bridegrooms, will I send down frometherea ships in the time of dan; by My etherean Gods and Goddesses shall the shipsdescend to these heavens, and receive God and His Lords with the Brides andBridegrooms, and carry them up to the exalted regions I have prepared for them.
18. And all such as ascend shall be called a Harvest unto Me, through My God and Lords. And the time of My Harvests shall be according to each dan, which is two hundred years,four hundred years, six hundred years, and five hundred years; and these shall be calledMy lesser cycles because they are the times of the tables of prophecy which I give untoMy servants.
19. But at no other times, nor in any other way, shall My Harvests ascend to Myemancipated worlds in etherea. Seven dans have I created for each and every dan'ha; andsix generations of mortals have I given unto each dan.
20. The angels understood the commandments of Jehovih according to their knowledgein the etherean heavens; being heirs of other planets, and having died in infancy, andhaving matured in the es worlds; but they understood not the Creator according to thepractice of the lower heavenly kingdoms. Wherefore their knowledge was incomplete.
21. Jehovih said: I condemn ye not because ye have become joint procreators with theasuans; for ye have done two services unto Me; which are to teach yourselves corporealthings, that ye may understand and sympathize with corporeans, and, secondly, becauseye have caused the earth to become peopled with such as are capable of immortality.
22. Behold ye now what shall happen on the earth: such as are of your flesh and kin whocohabit together shall rise in wisdom and virtue; but such of them as cohabit with theasuans will bring forth heirs in the descending grade of life. The first shall bring forthheirs unto everlasting life; but the second shall bring forth heirs that shall go out indarkness.
23. In the dominion of which matters your God and Lords will instruct you, that ye may,by inspiration and otherwise, learn to control the behavior of mortals unto everlasting life. And that these labors be not too severe upon you, I created the dans and dan'has in thefirmament, wherein ye may be relieved from the watch by other angels from other worldscoming to exchange with you.
24. This also do I put upon you: That to rule over mortals to virtue, by your own willsgoverning them in all things, is contrary to my commandments. For what honor hath anyman if made to do a thing?
25. But ye shall give mortals of My light, leaving them to choose. Better is it for themsuffer some than to grow up in ignorance of the stings of disobedience.
26. Behold, I make this a willing service on your part: because ye have bound youraffections on the earth, to your own kin, ye willingly become guardian angels overmortals. Yet I made not a separate law unto you; as it is with you, so shall it be with thespirits of these mortals when they are born into the es world: They will also desire tobecome guardian angels over their mortal kin.
27. But these spirits, never having known My higher heavens, will be unsuitable for theoffice of ashars; they would be but the blind leading the blind.
28. To prevent which, God and the Lords shall provide these spirits in the firstresurrection with places to dwell in; and with occupations and opportunities foreducation. For I desire them not to remain bound to the earth, but to rise up and inheritMy etherean kingdoms.
29. And in this also shall ye be discreet in governing them, giving them the light of Myheavens with some liberty to choose and to perfect themselves. Otherwise they wouldonly be slaves in heaven. According to their weakness or strength, so shall ye provide forthese new spirits entering my es world.
30. Therefore such of you as are appointed by My God and My Lords as guardians overmortals shall be called ASHARS, and ye shall report to your respective Lords, accordingto the section of the earth where ye may be. Of many watches shall be the ashars.
31. And such of you as are appointed to receive the spirits of the dead into heaven shallbe called ASAPHS, and ye shall report to your respective Lords and their kingdoms.
32. And the ashars shall make a record of every mortal, of the grade of his wisdom andgood works; and when a mortal dieth, and his spirit is delivered to the asaphs, the recordshall be delivered with him; and the asaph, receiving, shall deliver such spirit, with therecord into such place in these heavens as is adapted to his grade, where he shall be put tolabor and to school, according to the place of the resurrections which I created.
33. As ye shall thus become organic in heaven, with rulers, and teachers, and physicians;and with capitals, and cities, and provinces; and with hospitals, and nurseries, andschools, and factories, even so shall ye ultimately inspire man on the earth to the samethings.
34. And mortals that are raised up to dominion over mortals shall be called kings andemperors. As My Gods and My Lords are called My Sons, so shall kings and emperors becalled sons of God; through him shall they be raised up to their places, and givendominion unto My glory.
CHAPTER VIII.
1. Jehovih said: And God shall cause a record to be kept in heaven, of his dominions andhis Lords. And he and they shall enjoin it upon their successors forever to keep a likerecord.
2. And in the times of my harvest a copy of these records shall be taken up to Myetherean kingdoms and filed with My Orian Chiefs and Archangels in the roadway of thetravel of the great serpent1, for their deliberations as to the progress and management ofthe inhabitants of the earth and her heavens.
3. Think not, O ye angels, that the resurrection of your heirs, and their descendants thatcome up out of the earth, is an easy matter and of steady progress, devoid of mishaps andwoeful darkness.
4. The angels under you shall become at times rebellious and defiant; disregardingyour laws and decrees; and they shall desert your heavenly places and go down to theearth in millions and hundreds of millions. And they shall drive away the ashars, andthen assume guardianship over mortals. But they shall develop no righteousness underthe sun, but they will inspire mortals to war and destruction. And these angelswill themselves take to war and evil on every hand within the place of your heavens.
5. With the foul gases of atmospherea shall they make weapons of war and places oftorment. With these elements shall they make suffocating hells in order to cast oneanother in chaos.
6. And mortals who shall be slain in war shall be born in spirit in chaos onthe battlefields; in chaos shall such spirits enter the es world. And they shall notknow that they are dead, (as to earth life), but shall still keep fighting right and left.
7. And enemy shall take enemy, in these heavens, and cast them in the places of tormentwhich they have built, and they shall not know peace nor wisdom.
8. And the work of your heavens shall become as nothing. And ye shall turn to, goingabout delivering hells and the spirits in chaos. And your labor shall be exhaustive; verilyshall you cry out because ye came and peopled the earth.
9. This also have I created possible unto My creations; for both angels and mortals shalllearn to know the elements of the heavens and the earth, and to know the trials of loveand misfortune.
10. Nor have I made wisdom possible unto any man or angel that knoweth not Myelements, and the extremes of evil and good which I created.
11. But in the times of great darkness which shall come upon earth and these heavens, lo,I will bring the earth into dan'ha; and my ethereans shall come in my name and deliverthem.
12. And again for another cycle shall they be left with the lessons given unto them;but they shall fall again in course of time. But again will I deliver them; through myGods and Goddesses will I cause them to comprehend the magnitude of My creations.
13. As ye travel from heaven to heaven in this atmospherea, even so shall ye inspiremortals to build corporeal ships, and sail across the oceans, that the inhabitants ofdifferent divisions of the earth may become known to one another.
14. And when the inhabitation of the earth shall be completed, and the nations shall haveestablished civil communion around from east to west, in that same time will I bring theearth into the kosmon era, and My angel Embassadors, Gods and Goddesses, shall renderup the records of these heavenly kingdoms.
15. Through them will I reveal unto mortals the creation of My worlds, and the historyand dominion of My Gods and Lords on the earth, even from this day down to the time ofkosmon.
16. And Jehovih caused the angels of atmospherea to assemble together and organizethe first kingdom of of the heaven of the earth. And the place was called Hored,because it was the place of the first organic abiding place for the first God of this world.
17. And Hored was situated over and above the mountains of Aotan in Ughoqui,to the eastward of Ul, of that country hereinafter called the continent of Pan.
18. Thus endeth the inorganic habitation of the earth and her atmospherea.

or end of the se'muan age, that is, the time of the termination of creating animallife. Jehovih said: Behold, I quickened the earth with living creatures; by Mybreath came forth all the living on the face of the earth and in the waters thereof,and in the air above the earth. And I took the earth out of the dark regions, andbrought her into the light of My ethereal worlds. And I commanded the living tobring forth, by cohabitation, every specie after its own kind. And man was moredumb and helpless than any other living creature. Jehovih spake to the angels thatdwelt in His ethereal worlds, saying: Behold, I have created a new world,like unto the places where ye were quickened into life; come ye and enjoy it, andraise man upright and give him words of speech. For these will also be angelsin time to come. ( See BOOK OF JEHOVIH,CHAPTER VI, verses 12, 13, 14)
