Chapter 11
And now earth and heaven came into the a’ji’an forest of Aghanodis, and the pressure was upon all sides of the earth’s vortex, even beyond Chinvat.
And the heavenly kingdoms were stirred up; and the nations of the earth were in trial.
In the great city of Paradise, heavenly seat of God, the multitudes of angels, the billions, were made to look upward, outward, to know the Almighty.
As a’ji drives the weak angels of heaven to seek a lower field, so does it on earth drive polluted nations to war and to avarice and to death.
When only the second shower of a dozen years had fallen, mortals in many nations of the earth rushed into war. And even the Faithists began to clamor for kings and standing armies, with great captains and generals, to lead them on to mortal dominion.
The Israelites made a mortal king, and by their behavior, said: Rather man than Jehovih. Behold, we will have the Lord with us to fight our battles!
And Baal, God of the idolaters, heard and saw, and gloried in the course of events; and he hastened to the scene with millions of his angel slaves to inspire the Israelites to glory in the Lord and God, whom he assumed to be.
And millions of the Israelites fell beneath his power and became his spiritual slaves. The others, still steadfast in the secret oral rites, remained true to the secret name and Person, Jehovih (E-O-Ih).
When Ashtaroth saw Baal’s success, then for the first time ever, after two thousand years’ friendship to Baal, she became jealous and filled with vengeful wrath.
She said: I see now how this traitorous God has planned to beat me in the regions west of Heleste and Uropa. By the flesh of my thighs I swear, this thing shall not be! I will send a hundred million warring angels down to Babylon, Tyre, Yedmon, and Luce, to inspire their mortal kings to make war on the westward cities, the strongholds of Baal. And as to impoverished Egupt, I will send sufficient mortal armies to destroy everything in that land.
Yes, I will also send my legions among the Israelites, and inspire them that I, Ashtaroth, am the only true Lord and true God. I will divide them up like a broken bundle of straw, and cast them to the four winds of heaven. ||
On the other hand, Baal said: Because of my success, I know Ashtaroth will be jealous and full of anger; therefore, I will place a standing army between her heavens and mine; and if she dares to molest me, I will send my millions against her heavens and despoil her utterly, so that she shall be cast in hell!
