← Chapter 53Chapter 55
1

In Jehovih’s name, greeting to you, Looeamong.

2

You had a warrior angel, Thoth, alias Gabriel, who labored for you more than a thousand years, in order to make you under your false names worshipful on earth.

3

And you promised Thoth that when he overcame Dagon, Ashtaroth, Baal and other false Gods, you would give to him a heavenly sub-kingdom, with a billion subjects.

4

And Thoth accomplished your desire, but you did not give him anything.

5

But you further exacted of him the destroying of idol worship among mortals, and the destroying of the oracle-temples for consulting spirits, re-promising him, that when he had fulfilled these things, you would give him the promised heavenly kingdom.

6

And Thoth accomplished these things also; but you refused again to fulfill your promise.

7

Consequently Thoth rebelled against you, and set up his present heavenly dominions, inspiring his followers under the name of Mohammed.

8

And now, behold, since that day you have tried to destroy him in heaven and on earth.

9

But Thoth was anchored in earthly possessions, in Jerusalem, Te-theas and Egupt.

10

And you inspired mortals in western Uropa to make crusades against Thoth, in order to possess Jerusalem and Te-theas, by which millions of mortals were slain, and vast regions of country laid desolate.

11

Behold, you had pretended you were the all highest God, and yet you were unable to take a small earthly kingdom.

12

You also inflicted dire punishment and torturing of the flesh on Jehovih’s worshippers, and on infidels against your doctrines. With red-hot pincers pulled the flesh from the bones; or in boiling oil slowly dipped them; or from precipices hurled them; or in boxes lined with pricking spikes of iron bound them, thus to blot all knowledge, learning and opposition. Millions and millions you have thus cast in death in your earthly regions.

13

In Es’pan (Spain) and Itius (Italy), you have thus put to death more than seven million mortals.

14

Nevertheless, these angels will come home to you in after-time, with vengeance in their souls.

15

Behold, your false promises to Thoth are already visited upon your kingdoms.

16

But, as for Thoth, who became your willing tool to do destruction for your glory, what merit has he?

17

How shall I judge you, O Thoth?

18

Because you have a heavenly kingdom, and also are master on earth, of Jerusalem, Te-theas, Egupt and Punjaub, you flatter yourself you are a great God.

19

But your heavenly kingdom has become a place for lusters and foul-smelling spirits in the lowest of grades.

20

And your heaven is surely and steadily declining in grade.

21

Now as to you, Kabalactes, though you have destroyed a thousand mortal libraries, and put to death sixty million people, in order to establish yourself as Buddha, still you have steadily declined in grade, and your kingdoms with you.

22

You have fashioned many sacred cities, and framed many tales as to who you were in mortal life.

23

You have falsely called yourself, Buddha; and doubly false you have taken the name, Sakaya Muni.

24

You have tortured to death millions of mortals who rejected you.

25

And when my heavenly ships rescued their distracted and chaotic spirits, you wantonly connived with your drujas to despoil my ships, and cast these helpless spirits into darkness.

26

You have done these things for pastimes and variety for your falling heavens.

27

And even so has it been with you, Ennochissa.

28

Never had a Lord a fairer opportunity in all the earth’s heavens to do a good and great work, than what fell into your hands.

29

But behold how you have harvested your heavens!

30

A thousand years ago, your grades were from forty to sixty-five; and this day, they average only ten.

31

It needs no prophet to foretell that your declension will lead to destruction in the end.

32

Now, lastly, O you false Gods, you deceivers and hypocrites, you have divided the earth and its heavens between yourselves, and re-confederated together for a balance of power.

33

You have also persuaded mortal kingdoms to divide the earth into sections and regions, and to clamor for a balance of power between different kingdoms.

34

You have thus caused mortals to provide standing armies to protect themselves, kingdom against kingdom, after the manner you protect your own kingdoms in the heavens.

35

Kriste’yans against Kriste’yans; Brahmins against Brahmins; Buddhists against Buddhists; Mohammedans against Mohammedans; yet all of these four you have also arrayed against one another. In very likeness of your heavens, you have built on the earth.

36

You have inspired mortals to keep, as standing armies, forty million soldiers.

37

You have inspired mortals to build military schools and colleges, where the young may be trained in the art of war and destruction.

38

You have inspired mortals to build monuments to their generals and captains, because of their courage to destroy.

39

You have inspired the wickedest of mortals to believe that, if they would read your sacred books, and call on your names, you would surely save them, and, after death, take them to the highest of heavens.

40

And yet, when they die, your hosts are not there to receive them.

41

And when they call out for you, your emissaries kick them, and beat them.

42

And they return with vengeance, to afflict mortals.
