Chapter 42
God, Jehovih’s Son, was wise above all these trials, for he had the light of Jehovih’s kingdoms with him.
And it will be shown, presently, how much farther ahead the plans laid out by Jehovih’s Sons are, compared to those plotted by His enemies.
Because Pharaoh persecuted the Israelites, Moses put a curse upon Pharaoh. Then, after hundreds of years in the lower heavens, behold, Pharaoh was cast into hell, and then into chaos, and no one but Moses could deliver him, as has been previously described.
So, Moses descended from the higher heavens, and delivered Pharaoh, and he provided Pharaoh a new name, Illaes, and sent him back to the earth to labor with the Israelites, in order to fulfill his shortness in righteous works. Illaes, therefore, became a willing volunteer, and many angels with him.
And these angels inspired seven hundred Israelites to separate themselves from all other people, and to go and live by direction of the angels of Jehovih. Moreover, the angels inspired these people to call themselves Es’eans, as commanded by Moses in heaven.
These Es’eans were, therefore, a separate people, pledged to Jehovih to have no king or earth-ruler, except their rab’bahs. And they dwelt in communities and families of tens, twenties and hundreds, holding all things in common. But in marriage, they were monogamic; nor would they have more than one suit of clothes each; and they lived on fruit and herbs (vegetables) only; nor did they eat fish or flesh of anything that had ever breathed the breath of life. And they bathed every morning at sunrise, and worshipped before the altar of Jehovih, doing, in all things, in the manner of the ancient Faithists. By virtue of the angel hosts who were with them, they did these things. And they held communion with the angels of heaven, every night before going to sleep.
Illaes had said: Because I persecuted the Faithists, and raised up my hands against them and against Jehovih, I was instrumental, in part, for their fall. Now I will labor with them, to re-establish them in purity and love. And so he labored.
And Illaes and his angel hosts made the camps of the Es’eans their dwelling places, watching over these few Israelites, day and night, for hundreds of years. Yes, without leaving them, these faithful angels guarded them from all the warring hosts of angels belonging to the armies of Baal and Ashtaroth, and to the Triune God, Looeamong, and his hosts.
And though the Es’eans lived in great purity of body and soul, yet they were evilly slandered by the world’s people all around them.
But Jehovih prospered the seed of the Es’eans, in holiness and love, for many generations.
Then came Gafonaya, chief of the loo’is, according to the command of God, to raise up an heir to the Voice of Jehovih. And in four more generations, an heir was born, and named, Joshu, and he was the child of Joseph and his wife, Mara, devout worshippers of Jehovih, who stood aloof from all other people, except the Es’eans.
And because of the extreme youth of Mara, the child was of doubtful sex; regarding which, the rab’bahs said the child was an iesu, signifying neutral.
The time of the birth of the child was three days after the descent of a heavenly ship from the throne of God. And many of the Es’eans looked up and saw the star, and they felt the cold wind of the higher heavens fall upon the place and around the tent, where the child would be born. And they said to one another: Jehovih remembers us.
Gafonaya, the chief angel of the loo’is, knew beforehand what the birth would be, and he sent out around the Es’ean encampments extra guardian angels; and these notified the descending hosts of heaven of what was near at hand.
So the messengers from heaven stayed until after the child was born, acquainting Illaes of the time ahead when Moses and Elias, with their hosts, would come to complete the deliverance of the spirits of the Eguptians, whom Moses had colonized in atmospherea.
Illaes said: Thank Jehovih I shall once more look upon Moses’ face.
When the birth was completed, the angels of heaven re-entered their star-ship and hastened back to Paradise, God’s heavenly seat.
