Chapter 9
When Apollo, Jehovih’s Son, had finished his labor in the dawn of dan, God foresaw that his own resurrection, and his people with him, had come. So he sent his proper officers to the libraries of atmospherea, to learn who of all the etherean hosts should be selected to remain as God, and who as Lords, for the next four hundred years.
In twenty days the examiners returned and came before the throne of God and the Council of Gau. Za’dukawaski, chief speaker, said: By the grace of Jehovih, Creator, we stand before you, God of heaven and earth. We find by the ancient precepts, which are adjudged wise in the foundation of atmospherea, one Gur, highest and most proficient of all the hosts of heaven, to be anointed God for the next four hundred years.
God said: I remember Gur, from Magel, in Sooftus, in etherea, God of Ra’yatuf and a’ji, seventy-two. Let the marshals go to him and acquaint him with Jehovih’s decrees, in the name of God. And they shall provide suitable conveyance for Gur to come to Gau, according to his rate.
So the marshals, ten thousand in number, besides ten thousand musicians, went and brought Gur before the throne of God, coming in an otevan prepared for the purpose and adorned with one thousand pillars of light.
God said: I salute you, O Gur, in the name of Jehovih, Creator. Behold Apollo!
Apollo stretched forth his hand, and Gur came and shook hands with him, standing by the throne. Gur said: That I have lived to see this day, O Jehovih, I am blessed indeed! Your will, O God, and Jehovih’s, be done!
God said: Behold, within thirty days the dawn of dan is to end, and all who choose, and are prepared for the third resurrection, shall be taken up to etherea. Besides yourself, O Gur, there are two hundred thousand ethereans who have volunteered to remain another four hundred years in these atmospherean heavens, and on the earth. From them you shall select ten thousand Lords, and bestow them with kingdoms over mortals. I will raise two billion angels up with me to etherea.
To you, O Gur, I bequeath two billion atmosphereans who have been initiated into the second resurrection. And of the first resurrection, two hundred and fifty million; and of fetals three hundred million; and besides these, the inhabitants of the earth (men, women and children) seven hundred million.
God ceased speaking, and Gur said: Your will be done, O Jehovih! Then the es’enaurs sang, and the trumpeters played the MARCH OF APOLLO, JEHOVIH’S SON. Presently, the marshals and messengers filed before the throne; and a light of golden fire came down from etherea, cast out by the Gods of Helmatia, Orian arc of Tanaya, and it fell upon the throne of God, and many could not look upon it because of the brilliancy.
God raised up, as did Apollo by his side. God said: I stretch forth my hand to You, O Jehovih! Behold Your Son, Gur, God of Ra’yatuf, in etherea, an earth-born, forty thousand years inhabitant of Your emancipated realms. By Your power, and in Your name, O Jehovih, I proclaim him God of heaven and earth, to bestow You and Your kingdoms on angels and men! Be with him, O Father, Creator, that he may add to Your glory forever! Amen!
God took off the triangle, and hung it on Gur’s (God’s) neck, saying: I now bestow you with the heirloom of the Gods of the red star, the triangle of the ancients. And so that you may be still further honored, behold, one higher than I, even Apollo, shall weave a crown for your head.
Apollo walked to the left hand side, and raised his hand upward, and from unseen space a flame of yellow light came to rest on his hand, and he turned it just half around, and lo, a crown with sparkling gems stood upon his fingers’ ends. Apollo had said:
Incomprehensible All Light! Weave me a crown for Your Son, God of heaven and earth! And even while he spoke, it was done, and he placed it on God’s (Gur’s) head. And God went and sat in the middle of the throne, saying: Throne of Your throne, O Jehovih! All things are Yours! For this shall be my resting-place, to do Your will.
During the ceremonies, the music was timed accordingly; and when the new God was crowned, the multitude of a billion applauded with great joy.
When all was quiet, God rose up from the throne, saying to Apollo and to him who had been God: In Jehovih’s name, come and honor my throne! Accordingly, they both sat down at the right hand side of God.
God said: In thirty days, the dawn of dan will end. Let the marshals, through the messengers, proclaim the resurrection of two billion to the etherean heavens on that day. Proclaim it in all the heavens of the earth; inviting all to come who can; for it shall be a day of the feast of glory; but do not tell any of these that there has been a change of Gods, nor that great Apollo will rise also, lest sorrow come upon the people. The marshals then selected messengers, a great number, and sent them throughout the heavens of the earth, proclaiming the commandments of God.
God spoke further, saying: For thirty days the Council shall deliberate on my ten thousand Lords, selecting and allotting them; and I will crown them in the name of the Father.
Apollo then said: Now I will clothe myself in strange colors, so no one shall recognize me, and during the thirty days I yet remain, I will go about over the earth, so that I may again look upon the star of my birth.
And he who had given up the throne said: Your joy shall be my joy also. I, too, will again visit the star of my birth.
Accordingly, God said: Joy to you both, in Jehovih’s name! Behold, I will throw a thick blanket over the throne, and you shall change your attire, and when I withdraw it, you shall walk forth unknown.
And this was done.
