Chapter 9
The Lord said: Aside from the orderly kingdoms of God, there were seven false kingdoms in hada, ruled over by false Gods and false Goddesses. Chief of these were Baal, with four billion angel slaves; the false Yima, with four billion angel slaves; Ashtaroth, false Goddess, with three billion angel slaves; Hi’lizar, with three billion angel slaves; Sodonius, false Goddess, with two million angel slaves, and then came Fue-Sin, and Hrivatza. Besides these there were six hundred false Lords and Lordesses, who had occupied the mortal temples of worship, and the oracle temples.
But the latter were driven away from mortals by command of God, so that they might be induced to seek resurrection.
And God foresaw that the travel of the earth would cause her to pass through an a’ji’an forest for four hundred years, and that darkness would be upon the lower heavens.
And God sent angel inspectors, numerators, recorders, and others, down to the earth to prepare the record of mortals for the libraries of heaven. And of these angels there were four hundred thousand inspectors; twelve thousand numerators; ninety thousand graders; forty thousand recorders and scribes; and six hundred thousand bearers. Besides these were messengers, heralds and musicians, of whom there were sixty thousand.
Such was the army sent down to the earth according to God’s command. And they were under the charge of Toyvraghah, Yulis, Hagonte and Rufus.
And God called up the great mathematicians, Yahimus, Menres, Fargawitha, Howitchkal, Jemima, Jordan, Molakka, Kossitus, Makkas and Agebon; and God said to them:
The time of the fall of a’ji on the earth is at hand. Compute the regions of the earth where it will fall most; and having determined, go to those mortal prophets who are in su’is, and cause them to prophesy to the inhabitants of the earth.
The mathematicians saluted and departed for the earth, as commanded by God.
Now when God foresaw that darkness was near at hand, for a period of four hundred years, he commanded his Holy Council and his heavenly kingdoms to pray to Jehovih for the space of one day, for wisdom and strength.
In answer to their prayers, a swift messenger from Lika, Orian Chief, Son of Jehovih, came from Takuspe, in the etherean worlds, in an etherean arrow-ship, with thirty thousand. His name was Yotaportas, God of Eriasa, in the plains of Woo’Sin. And when he had come before the throne of God, duly saluting, he said:
In Jehovih’s name I come, greeting by His Son, Lika. God said: In Jehovih’s name I am blessed by your presence, God of Eriasa, Nirvanian Host. What is your message?
Yotaportas said: By command of Jehovih, through His exalted Son, you shall withdraw your emissaries from the kingdoms of Baal and Ashtaroth, and from all kingdoms on the earth, whose mortals pay obedience to false Gods. A’ji of four hundred years will reign upon the earth and her heavens. It is so determined and provided by the Holy Etherean Dispensers of roads in Vragapathon. Of which matters I am sent to you so that you may be duly provided for this.
The time is also now at hand when the I’hins, the sacred people, the mound-builders, will cease to dwell on the earth. The darkness, which is necessary to the earth, will be too much for them. The heavens that have previously received their spirits shall be dissolved, and these plateaus removed to the outer rim of the earth’s vortex.
|| The Lords’ reports showed there were at this time on the earth two million three hundred thousand I’hins. Of these, seven hundred thousand inhabited Egupt and western Arabin’ya; two hundred thousand inhabited Chine’ya, the Jaffeth of the ancients; and the balance, for the most part, inhabited North Guatama and toward Hon’ya-pan [Central America –Ed.].
Such, then, were all that remained of a people that once covered over the whole earth and numbered more than a billion. ||
God declared a day of recreation in honor of Yotaportas; and the angels of heaven had great rejoicing.
And on the day following, Yotaportas, with his hosts, departed for Eriasa, in etherea.
