Synopsis of Sixteen Cycles

Chapter 1

Chapter 2
1

First, the earth travels in a circuit around the sun, which is divided into four arcs called spring, summer, autumn and winter.

2

Second, the sun, with his family, travels in a large circuit, which is divided into one thousand five hundred arcs, the distance for each arc being about three thousand years, or one cycle.

3

During a cycle, the earth and her heavens travel through the etherean regions of hundreds of etherean worlds, which are inhabited by Jehovih’s high-raised angels, whose Chiefs are involved in the management of worlds.

4

During the time of a cycle, the earth is therefore under the control and management of such angels of Jehovih for the resurrection of man of the earth.

5

At the time of man’s creation, the earth was traveling in the arc of Wan, where thousands of Orian Chiefs live, with billions of high-raised angels.

6

The Holy Council of Orian Chiefs, through the Wisdom and Voice of Jehovih, appointed one of their number, Sethantes (an archangel), to take charge of the earth, and to people it with immortal beings, during its travel in Wan.

7

The rank and title of Sethantes, thus raised up by Jehovih, Creator of worlds, became, FIRST GOD OF THE EARTH AND HER HEAVENS.

8

And Sethantes had come with millions of angels, who had been previously raised up from other worlds, and he accomplished his work, and was known as God.

9

Sethantes was, then, the first God of the earth and her heavens, and his place was within the arc of Wan. And during his cycle of three thousand years, he raised up from the earth, one billion five hundred million Brides and Bridegrooms to Jehovih.

10

After Sethantes came Ah’shong, sub-Chief in the realms of Hieu Wee in the Haian arc of Vehetaivi. And during the cycle of Anakaron, also three thousand years, Ah’shong raised up from the earth, a harvest of seven billion two hundred million Brides and Bridegrooms.

11

The third cycle was under the dominion of Hoo Le, surveyor of Kakayen’sta in the arc of Gimmel, and his harvest was three billion seven hundred million.

12

The fourth cycle was under C’pe Aban, Chieftainess of Sulgoweron in the arc of Yan, and her harvest was four billion eight hundred million.

13

The fifth cycle was under Pathodices, road-maker in Chitivya in the arc of Yahomitak, and his harvest was six billion four hundred million.

14

The sixth cycle was under Goemagak, God of Iseg, in the arc of Somgwothga, and his harvest was seven billion nine hundred million.

15

The seventh cycle was under Goepens, God of Kaim, in the arc of Srivat, and his harvest was nine billion three hundred million.

16

The eighth cycle was under Hycis, Goddess of Ruts, in the arc of Hohamagollak, and her harvest was nine billion four hundred million.

17

The ninth cycle was under See’itcicius, inspector of roads in Kammatra, in the arc of Jusyin, and his harvest was ten billion one hundred million.

18

The tenth cycle was under Miscelitivi, Chieftainess of the arches of Lawzgowbak, in the arc of Nu, and her harvest was ten billion eight hundred million.

19

And now the earth was full of people; all the continents and islands of the earth were inhabited by man; nor was there any wilderness left where man did not dwell.

20

But the generation of man had fallen from thirty-three years down to twelve years. And man and woman were at maturity at seven years old; and not many lived above thirty years; but they were prolific; many of the mothers bringing forth two score (40) sons and daughters, and from two to four babies at a birth.

21

And man dwelt in peace. The earth was tilled, and it brought forth abundantly everything that was good for man to eat and to clothe himself with. In those days, there were great cities of hundreds of thousands of inhabitants, and thousands and thousands of such cities in all the five great divisions of the earth. And man built ships and sailed over the ocean in all directions, around the whole world. By the angels of the Lord, he was taught and guided in all things. And man had books, both written and printed; and in schools, the young were taught knowledge regarding the sun, moon, stars, and all things that are upon the earth and in its waters. This was, therefore, called the first period of civilization on the earth.

22

Now, for the most part, all the people had become I’hins, small, white and yellow. Nevertheless there were ground people, with long arms, who were large; but they dwelt by themselves, and their food was of all types of flesh, fish and creeping things. The ground people were brown and black, and they lived to be two hundred, and even four hundred years old.

23

Jehovih said: In the early days I raised up I’huans, and I gave them certain commandments, among which was, not to cohabit with the druks lest they go down in darkness. But they did not obey My words; and lo and behold, they are lost from the face of the earth.

24

Because the I’hins have become a spiritual people and have prospered in peace and spirit, behold, they have degenerated in the corporeal body. They yield abundant harvests for My etherean realms, but they are like untimely births.

25

Now I will bring the earth into a’jiyan fields and forests for a long season; for I shall again reproduce the I’huans; and the time of a generation shall be thirty-three years. For My harvests shall be of fruit that is mature and full of ripeness.

26

And Jehovih brought the earth into new regions in the etherean worlds, and covered it over with a’ji, east and west and north and south.

27

And it came to pass that many of the I’hins lost the generative desire and, so, did not bring forth many heirs. But the brown people burnt with desires, and they laid hold of the I’hin women when they went into the fields, and forced them, and thus brought forth again the I’huan race, the copper-colored, strong, bright and quick.

28

Accordingly the eleventh cycle, which was under Gobath, God of Tirongothaga, in the arc of Su’le, brought forth a harvest of six billion seven hundred million.

29

The twelfth cycle was under F’aiyis, Goddess of Looga, in the arc of Siyan, and her harvest was two billion six hundred million.

30

The thirteenth cycle was under Zineathaes, keeper of the Cross, in the arc of Oleganaya, and his harvest was one billion two hundred million.

31

The fourteenth cycle was under Tothsentaga, road-maker in Hapanogos, in the arc of Manechu, and his harvest was only six hundred million.

32

The fifteenth cycle was under Nimeas, God of Thosgothamachus, in the arc of Seigga, and his harvest was only forty million.

33

The sixteenth cycle was under Neph, God of Sogghonnes, in the arc of Arbroohk, but he failed to bring forth any harvest.
