Chapter 15

← Chapter 14Chapter 16
1

Again God called before his throne a million loo’is, and appointed Etchessa chief over them, saying:

2

You, O Etchessa, shall go down to the earth, to the land of Vind’yu, taking these hosts with you. And you shall establish a heavenly place of worship, which shall be your headquarters. For an heir to my voice shall be raised up to re-establish the Faithists.

3

Behold, I have given you many generations in which to bring about the desired result. Survey, then, the generations of Faithists in that land, and take your choice as to place, caste, and family.

4

He, whom you shall bring forth for this purpose, shall be of some royal family, a prince of high estate.

5

I shall prove through him, that for love of righteousness, and to serve Jehovih, he will forsake his kingdom, family, friends, and all earthly things and desires, and make himself like a poor man, dwelling with the poor, laboring with them, teaching them, and instructing them.

6

For, because of the idolatries that will be among these people, they will be bound in caste; but he, whom I will teach through, shall prove to the world that the service of Jehovih requires of all men, that Jehovih shall stand uppermost, even above kin and caste. By the example of such willing sacrifice, man shall be taught that all the evils of the earth can be overcome.

7

And you shall provide this man with many disciples, and roadways for him to travel, and places to preach; and provide followers, to go about with him. For without these, his preaching and practice would be of little benefit. See to it, then, that your hosts control the generations of men, in order to have born in the world a sufficient number to be disciples and followers of his doctrines, so that he may be a power in the world for re-establishing the Faithists in the Great Spirit.

8

And you shall provide for these births to be in the same period of time. What do you say, Etchessa?

9

Etchessa said: In Jehovih’s name I am your servant, with rejoicing. And I answer you also for these my hosts, that this is a joy to them, for Jehovih’s glory.

10

God said: To which end I crown you, CHIEF OF LOO’IS, for the land of Vind’yu! And God crowned Etchessa; and he gave badges to the other loo’is.

11

And then Etchessa and his hosts filed past the throne of God, duly saluting, and they also departed, going to the earth to the land of Vind’yu. Thus the loo’is were empowered by God to bring into the world the heir, SAKAYA. More of him presently (Chapters 24-30).
