Chapter 19

← Chapter 18Chapter 20
1

God called up Erastes, prince of messengers, and said to him: You have heard the words of your God and of Taenas. Therefore take thirty thousand four hundred messengers, that is, one for each and all of my remaining kingdoms, and go and proclaim the same to them, so that they, having due notice, may manage their affairs with wisdom and foresight. Erastes said: Jehovih’s will and yours be done! And he saluted and withdrew, going to the palace of the messengers, and choosing his hosts, he instructed them regarding the message. And he gave to each of them power to choose their own officers, and to provide their own vessels of travel. And a few days later, they all departed.

2

Now it came to pass, that the following kingdoms soon fell to pieces, and drifted into the Triune Confederacy, namely: Sho’e’gan, and her twenty-eight sub-kingdoms, all in the hadan regions; Ghi’e’wan, and her forty-four heavenly hadan kingdoms; Haotus, with seven heavenly hadan kingdoms, and five sub-kingdoms; Tuwahtal, and thirty kingdoms in the first resurrection in the plateau Theovrahkistan; Livragga, and seventy-one heavenly sub-kingdoms, of which thirty-eight were ready to enter the second resurrection; Jahkin and Mouru, with ninety-seven heavenly hadan kingdoms, of which eighty-seven were promoted to the second resurrection; Ganzoe, with four hundred hadan kingdoms, of which many were below the first resurrection; Hapsu, with four heavenly kingdoms of seventy million angels in the second resurrection; Iturba, with twelve heavenly kingdoms of one hundred and four million angels in the second resurrection, half of whom were as high as fifty in the grades; Wantawacha, with thirty heavenly kingdoms, with three hundred million angels in the second resurrection, three-fourths of whom were higher than grade fifty.

3

Of the seven lower kingdoms of the second sphere, there were eight hundred million angels of the first resurrection, who migrated from their provinces to the Triune regions, Amesha; and they destroyed the road behind them.

4

Now, when God saw the great secession of his heavenly kingdoms, and their allegiance to the Triunes, his soul was filled with sorrow. And the Voice of Jehovih came to him, saying: Why take sorrow to your soul for these things? Shall a God grieve because his burden is made lighter? Behold, in this day and hour the Gods and Lords of the Triune are rejoicing with great joy, because of these accessions. Yes, they do not perceive what a load they are taking on their own shoulders.

5

But you shall send agents among the Triunes, especially into their capitals and their chief kingdoms. ||

6

So, God appointed many agents, different from messengers, for they were to be under the command of no one but God. God said to them: You shall go to the places I appoint to each one of you, as travelers and sojourners in your own way, and observe the doings of the Triunes, especially the chiefs and leaders, Lords and Gods, and their teaching and government, and in your own good time depart out of the place and return here and inform my Holy Council and my Holy Eleven.

And the agents went forth as commanded.
