Chapter 25
This rule I made in all My works, says Jehovih: When I separate the people, the good go away, out from among the evil.
Even as I drew the Israelites out of Egupt.
And those who go out prosper in My hand; I make them an everlasting people.
But those who remain go down to destruction; and they become unknown upon the earth.
Their great men are forgotten, and their wisest men lose caste in the histories of a thousand years.
Behold, I had made these things known to the generations of the earth.
Now, when I separated the Faithists and the Uzians, in the Kosmon era, I sent angels, warning them. I said to them:
Do not flatter yourselves that man is all wisdom; I say to you, I am with the righteous; might (power) shall not triumph through wrongdoing. Behold, a judgment shall come upon this people.
When I begin to call them, My chosen shall come and found My kingdom; and they shall come faster and faster every year.
And the Uzians shall fall into iniquity, more and more every year.
And, now, look at what has been!
The prince of devils came upon the Uzians, saying:
Do not think that I come to send peace on earth; I come not to send peace, but a sword.
I come to set man at variance against his father, and a daughter against her mother. ||
Now, therefore, when My angels went in behalf of My kingdom, behold, the prince of devils invaded the places of the ungodly.
And those who received My angels, and practiced righteousness, were fallen upon by the emissaries of the prince of devils, and unmercifully treated with curses and tortures.
But I called the righteous away from there, and they built My kingdom for Me.
And I said to the Uzians: Let this be a testimony to you of the power of the Almighty;
You go about building ships of war, and harbors for defense, with torpedoes, and all types of wicked inventions;
But I say to you, this nation, this government and this people shall not be attacked in the places you build.
It is within.
For I will draw away the righteous, and none but rogues shall accept your great offices.
And this trend shall continue to grow upon you in the way of evil, declining in virtue more and more every year.
Look, therefore, at your grade; judge the words of the Almighty.
My hands shaped the signs of the times.
As the hirer this day hires one man to watch another, so shall it come to you in the great offices of your government.
You shall hope to overcome the prince of devils by force and might, but you shall fail.
And in the proportion that you go down in corruption, so shall the Faithists go away into My kingdoms.
