Chapter 10
Toyvraghah, Hagonte, Yulis and Rufus, with their hosts, returned from their voyage to the earth, and brought records of the standing of mortals in all the tribes and nations of the earth, including their numbers, grades, generations, of the Faithists in all the different regions of the earth, of the idolaters, and of all matters pertaining to mortals. These records were filed in the libraries of heaven, and a copy of them sent to the etherean regions in the roadway of the earth and her heavens.
Of Faithists, there were thirty-one million three hundred thousand: in Chine’ya, thirteen million seven hundred thousand; in Vind’yu three million three hundred thousand; in western Arabin’ya (Kanna’yan), six million two hundred thousand; and in North Guatama, eight million one hundred thousand.
And of all the rest of the inhabitants of the earth, there were one billion one hundred million. Of these, upward of ninety-seven percent were capable of everlasting life.
Regarding the Faithists of Chine’ya, suffice it to say this: Though they maintained the rites and ceremonies of the ancients, they did not live wholly as a separate people, except in a few places. But they were the head and fount of learning and of teaching all the applied arts and industries. But the idolaters of Joss, Te-in and Po were less learned.
God said of Chine’ya: This is a good work. Whoever shapes the education of a people will ultimately found them in their own doctrines. The Faithists will make these people a great people.
Nevertheless great wars are near at hand here. The idolaters, being warriors, will suffer most; and the Faithists, who practice peace, will greatly gain upon them. And it was so, as will be presently shown.
Regarding the Faithists of Vind’yu, suffice it to say that they lived in families and small colonies; they practiced the rites and ceremonies; nor were there any laws against them, as in past times. But because of the many languages in this country, all peoples were afflicted. God said: No people can advance much while they have many languages. ||
Regarding the Faithists of Western Arabin’ya, who, for the most part, called themselves Israelites, suffice it to say that the two branches still remained; those who lived under the oral law, and those who lived under the written law. The latter were called Leviticans, that is, hangers on, and of imperfect flesh and spirit.
The Leviticans were not scrupulous regarding war and the preservation of their seed. And in consequence of their sins they brought great shame upon the Faithists in general. And the Leviticans’ examples were evil, and they gained in numbers faster than the Oralites. The Leviticans worshipped the Great Spirit under the names, Lord and God.
As for the Oralites, so called, because their doctrines and teachings were secret and only spoken, being taught orally, man to man and woman to woman; they were non-resistants, and they owned nothing, giving all things to the rab’bah for the public good. Their practice was love and harmony; doing righteously in all things, and trusting in Jehovih, Whom they worshipped under the name E-O-Ih. All the prophets and seers were born of the Oralites.
And so great was the spiritual power of the Oralites that during all these hundreds of years, the six million Faithists had lived without king or governor; but existed as a multitude of communities.
Regarding the Faithists of Guatama, they were little learned, but were peaceful and industrious. And, except for the I’hins, they comprised all the inhabitants in all the land. And they also lived without kings or governors. And every town was ruled over by a rab’bah, and a combination of towns by a chief rab’bah. And the tribes were made into states, with chief rab’bahs as representatives, and these states were united into a great government called, THE AGOQUIM (Algonquin). And all the governments were made and maintained for the benefit of tribes that might suffer by famines or fevers. And yet there was not one tyrant or dictator among all these millions of people.
