Chapter 3
Do not think, O man, that I am insufficient to the times and seasons. Or say that God spoke in the dark days of the earth, but latterly holds his tongue.
Behold, I am your elder brother, even as a captain of the earth and her heavens for a season. As I am, even so were my predecessors in the time of the ancients:
Ambassadors of the Most High, Jehovih!
Whose power and wisdom are given to me, even in the same way as your earthly kingdoms are governed and disciplined.
By which means, order is able to contribute to the resurrection of all of His created beings.
First, I charge you that whoever says: GOD, GOD! calls in vain.
I have not come to establish, but to abolish all Gods, Lords and Saviors among mortals.
For what is past, is past.
But from this time forward, whoever hears my word and the decree of my commandment, and continues to make an idol of any name, except the Great Spirit, blasphemes against his Creator.
But whoever cries out in fullness of heart, saying: GOD, GOD! meaning by that, the Ever Present, the Creator, is not a blasphemer before me.
And whoever says: ORMAZD, ORMAZD! meaning the Ever Present, the Creator, is not a blasphemer before me.
And whoever calls any name in any language that signifies the Ever Present, the Creator, is not a blasphemer before me.
But whoever says: BRAHMA, BRAHMA! signifying a God in the figure and shape of a man, sitting on a throne in heaven, is a blasphemer against Jehovih, the Ever Present, the Creator.
And whoever says BUDDHA, BUDDHA! signifying a God in the figure and shape of a man, sitting on a throne in heaven, is a blasphemer against Jehovih, the Ever Present, the Creator.
And whoever says: KRISTE, KRISTE! signifying a God in the figure and shape of a man, sitting on a throne in heaven, is a blasphemer against Jehovih, the Creator, the All Person.
And whoever calls on the name of any other man or angel, worshipping such as a God, is an idolater in my sight.
Nor do I judge them less idolatrous than if they worshipped stone idols or graven images.
And whoever says: DEITY, DEITY! and DIVINITY, DIVINITY! and DIVINE LAW and NATURAL LAW, are adjudged to be in darkness.
For I proclaim my heavens open, and the way of understanding clear.
Jehovih is Ever Present, and does by virtue of His Presence, and not by any law.
And whoever says that which will lead men to believe He is not Present, or that He has gone away, leaving certain laws after Him in His stead, the same is adjudged a blasphemer against Jehovih.
And whoever says: CALL ON THIS SAVIOR, OR CALL ON THAT SAVIOR, AND YOUR SINS SHALL BE FORGIVEN YOU; AND, IN THE HOUR OF YOUR DEATH, BECAUSE YOU HAVE SO CALLED ON HIM, YOU SHALL ASCEND INTO A HEAVENLY PARADISE, the same is a falsifier of my kingdoms and a blasphemer against Jehovih.
And whoever says: COME BEFORE THE CHURCH AND PRIEST, AND MAKE PRAYERS AND CONFESSIONS, AND YOU SHALL BE ABSOLVED AND FORGIVEN YOUR SINS, the same are falsifiers of my kingdoms and blasphemers against Jehovih, the Creator.
Nor have I provided resurrection in this world, or in my heavens above, except by good works done to others; and this is serving Jehovih, the All Person; and not because of any worship or confessions done before any of the idols on earth or in heaven.
Nor is there any redemption in heaven to the Brahmins, Buddhists, Kriste’yans or Mohammedans because of their prayers and confessions.
But wherever good works have resulted in affiliation, and in lifting the people up out of misery and crime, the same is adjudged as worship of the Great Spirit, Jehovih.
Wherever the Brahmins have let a people fall from knowledge into ignorance, or from virtue into vice, my judgment is against them.
Wherever the Buddhists have let a people fall from knowledge into ignorance, or from virtue into vice, my judgment is against them.
Wherever the Ka’yuans [Confucians – Ed.] have let a people fall from knowledge into ignorance, or from virtue into vice, my judgment is against them.
Wherever the Kriste’yans have let a people fall from knowledge into ignorance, or from virtue into vice, my judgment is against them.
Wherever the Mohammedans have let a people fall from knowledge into ignorance, or from virtue into vice, my judgment is against them.
Where beggary, vagrancy and all manner of darkness have increased in any of the cities or countries of any of these idolaters, my judgment is against them.
They shall not excuse themselves nor escape my judgment by saying: O the true Brahmin, or the true Buddhist, or the true Kriste’yan, or the true Mohammedan, has not fallen. These who fell were those who did not embrace our doctrine in fullness of heart. ||
Because my judgment is also against impotency. They have tried their respective religions for hundreds of years. And they have not raised up one city of righteous people.
And for that reason, I have come to put these doctrines away, and give them that which shall prove itself potent in all the world.
That which I proclaim, shall be proclaimed by the angels of the second resurrection, to all nations and peoples.
My light is not to one people only, except to the righteous, who serve the Creator by doing good to all men. In my sight, the nations of the divisions of the earth are as one people only, brothers and sisters.
I take from all of them their idols, their Gods; but I give them a greater, even the Creator.
I say to them: I permitted my children to have idols; but now that you are men, put away your idols, and accept Jehovih, Who is the Creator of all.
Nor shall any man say anymore: I worship the Brahmin principle, or the Buddhist principle, or the Ka’yuan principle, or the Kriste’yan principle, or the Mohammedan principle. For all of these have proved themselves to result in war and destruction.
None of them have faith in Jehovih, but faith in their armies of soldiers, and in their weapons of death.
But I give to all people one principle only, which is to serve Jehovih. This is broad enough for the redemption and resurrection of all men. And I will have none other.
Seek, O man, to believe in the All Person, Who is Ever Present, Whose eye is upon you, Whose ear hears you; for He is the All One, Who is the password to the highest of heavens.
And you may call on your idol at the gates of my heavens, but the gates shall not be opened to you. For I will have no quarrel in my exalted kingdoms in heaven as to Gods and Lords and Saviors.
Till you are washed clean of them; coming in spotless white, a servant of the Most High, you cannot withstand the light of my kingdoms in heaven.
But you shall return in spirit to the earth, and abide in the church and temple of your chosen God, wandering about, in stubbornness of heart, a prey to drujas, vampires, and other angels of darkness.
Have faith O man, in Him Who created you alive; about Him there can be no mistake. Glorify Him by righteous works, having faith that even as He brought you into life, so will He provide for you, according to your just deserts.
