Chapter 11
Cventi, marshalless for the hosts of Apollo, with ten thousand marshals and fifty thousand respondents of ceremonies, made preparations to receive the hosts of the adavaysit, commanded by Cim’iad, Goddess of Du’e’ghi, in etherea, Goddess of Noad and Rak, in Ji’ya, thirty-eight, well known to Apollo, and to Phaeja, God of Norse, longtime residents of Um, in etherea.
Cim’iad was a small woman, dark, and of deep love, most jovial of Goddesses; and had long looked forward with joy to her pleasure of bringing so large a ship to deliver two billion of Jehovih’s Brides and Bridegrooms into etherean worlds. And so, when the adavaysit was about to land in Gau, Cim’iad looked out from the clusters of central stars, the ornaments of the throne within the ship, to see the hosts who were assembled beneath, and joyously clapped her hands with delight, at which she was saluted by Apollo and Phaeja, and by God and his Lords.
Presently, the mighty vessel landed and anchored fast; and the ship of Apollo was moved up alongside and made fast to the adavaysit. Meanwhile, Cim’iad came forth out of the ship, and was received in the arms of Cventi, marshalless of Apollo, and then proceeded to the throne of God.
All the while, the musicians had been playing and singing; and the music of the lower heaven was thus united with the music of the upper heaven.
God said: Welcome, O Daughter of Jehovih! Come and honor my throne, in His name!
Cim’iad said: By the grace and love of Jehovih, I have come, O God! And to you, O Apollo, most wonderful of earth-born Gods, how can I express my boundless love! And to you, O Phaeja, long-enduring Son of Jehovih, my soul is as a twin, for the glory of our Everlasting Creator!
Behold, I have come in Jehovih’s name to wed these two billion Brides and Bridegrooms to Jehovih!
Phaeja said: Your will and Jehovih’s be done! And now they shook hands, as is the custom of Gods and Goddesses, and Cim’iad went and sat on the throne, saluting all the assemblage by making the sign of Jehovih’s name with her right hand, which was answered by three billion spirits. And now the musicians played and sang the STARS OF JEHOVIH! Meanwhile, the All Light began to descend thick and fast on Cim’iad’s head, so brilliant that many could not look upon it.
And Jehovih spoke through Cim’iad, saying: I blow My breath upon a corporeal world, and man springs forth into life, the highest of My created lights. In the womb of Mi, I fashion his spirit. When he is shapely and white, I deliver him. I open the heaven of suns, and warm his soul. Brighter than diamonds he comes forth; male and female they come; as stars for My everlasting worlds. Dressed as Brides and Bridegrooms for My chambers of Light and Love. In My arms they shall be blessed forever; in My mansions rejoice forever.
The respondents said (being led by the etherean hosts): I am Your bride (or bridegroom), O Jehovih! My soul finds love in You only, forever!
O Jehovih, my Father! I come to You to abide forever!
From Mi, my mother, the earth, who conceived me, I now rise up and go, forever.
All praise to You, O Jehovih! And to you, O God of earth and heaven! And to you, O Lords of the earth, praise forever!
Your Lords, O Jehovih, raised me up. How can I render them joy for my stubbornness of heart! And Your God, for my second resurrection.
O how You have made us brothers and sisters, O Jehovih! And given me a higher world to abide in, forever!
O, Joy of my soul! To You I am beholden, O Father, everlasting Creator!
Jehovih said: Behold Me, O Brides and Bridegrooms! I am the ALL that is within all and over all. Members of My body are all things under the sun, seen and unseen, boundless, forever! I give them to you for your inheritance, forever!
Response: Who can give as You do, O Jehovih! Not only did You give myself to me, but You sent Your Gods and Lords to me to teach me how to live to enjoy Your Fullness, forever.
I will rise to Your immortal kingdoms, and learn the mysteries of Your glory and wisdom, O Jehovih! And when I am strong, I will go forth to those who are beneath me, and raise them up, to rejoice, forever!
Jehovih said: Laborers with Me; helpmates and companions, forever! With you I wed, from everlasting to everlasting.
Response: With You we wed, helpmates, forever! In the glory of Your worlds, without end!
Jehovih said: Mine are All Harmony; All Symmetry; All Love; and will endure forever!
Response: When I was in darkness, I fed on hate, anger, war, and lust. But You have taught me harmony, symmetry, and love, and I shall indulge in them forever!
Jehovih said: Receive My mantles and My crowns, O My beloved! The darkness has come and gone; the rain has dried up, and My flowers are blooming for you, My beloved!
Response: Glory to You, My Creator and Preserver! All hail to Your Wondrous Works, O Jehovih! In all my giving I cannot attain to You, forever! Your Crown shall shine in my behavior, world without end! Amen! Amen! Amen!
Jehovih, You are mine, forever! Amen!
I am Yours, O Jehovih, forever! Amen! Amen!
