First God of Heaven

The light above descended fast toward us; like a ship of fire it came nearer and nearer, till we saw it was far wider than the place of Hored and all my angel hosts.

And when the great light had descended to the plateau of Hored, there came forth out of the light one million archangels, from the arc of Wan in the Hosts of A‘ji, in the orbit of Tow‘sang in etherea, and they bore regalia120 and crowns from the Orian chief of Harmuts. Foremost of the archangels was Etisyai, and her brother Ya‘tiahaga, commissioners from the etherean heaven.

When they came near me, Etisyai gave the sign of Jehovih‘s name, greeting, halting, and saying: All hail! In Jehovih‘s name, and in the love of Harmuts, Orian Chief, we come to greet you, first God of the lower heaven, belonging to the corporeal earth!

I said: All hail, O emissaries of Harmuts, Chief of Orian worlds! Come, O Etisyai, and your brother and all this host! Come, honor my throne, in Great Jehovih‘s name!

The archangels then came forward, saluting, and Etisyai said: In Your name, O Jehovih, I found121 here a throne!

And she caused the form and substance of it to rise, and she ascended onto it, and Ya‘tiahaga with her. And the other archangels formed a crescent in front of the throne, all of them bearing crowns or diadems, but they stood upright. And now the angels of the host of God took their places, so that they could witness the testimony of Jehovih‘s commission, but the lights from the columns of fire, brilliant in all colors, shades and tints, baffled many of them from seeing plainly.

When all things were ready, Etisyai, standing erect and brilliant like a star, raised her right hand, saying: Jehovih! ALL-WISE AND POWERFUL! IN YOUR NAME, THIS YOUR SON, GOD, I CROWN! FROM THE ORIAN CHIEF, HARMUTS, RAISED TO THE RANK OF GOD, AND BY YOU, O Jehovih, ORDAINED! FROM THIS TIME FORWARD TO BE KNOWN FOREVER IN THE EMANCIPATED HEAVENS AS YOUR SON! PEACE! WISDOM! LOVE! POWER!

And now with her left hand she raised the crown high, so that all could see and bear witness, and upon giving the sign again of Jehovih‘s name above the crown, a flame of light shot forth brilliantly from it. And then she placed the crown on God‘s head, saying:

ARISE, O MY SON, SON OF Jehovih! Instantly there arose from the millions of souls one universal shout: All hail, O Son of Jehovih! And God rose up, having the crown on his head, and the people cheered him lustily, for he was well beloved.

Etisyai said: Bring forward your five chief Lords so I may crown them also. God then caused the five chief Lords, whom he had previously selected, to sit at the foot of the throne.

Again Etisyai raised her right hand, saying: O Jehovih! ALMIGHTY! FROM WHOM ALL GLORIES EMANATE! IN YOUR NAME, THESE YOUR SONS, I CROWN, LORDS OF THE EARTH, AND OF THE WATERS OF THE EARTH! FROM THE ORIAN CHIEF HARMUTS! BY MY COMMISSION I RAISE THEM TO THE RANK OF LORDS FOR KINGDOMS OF HEAVEN! PEACE! WISDOM! LOVE! POWER!

Then Etisyai took the crowns, which were handed to her by the other archangels, and placed them on the heads of the Lords, saying:

ARISE, O MY LORDS, AND BE LORDS OF Jehovih FOR HIS GLORY! AND BE THE LORDS OF GOD, HAVING DOMINION OVER THE EARTH AND THE WATERS OF THE EARTH, IN LOVE, WISDOM, AND POWER, AMEN!

The Lords rose up, having on their heads the crown of Lords, and again the multitude saluted with great cheering. When the applause ceased, Etisyai said:

My God and my Lords, give now the sign of Jehovih‘s name, so that His glory may be fulfilled. (For this was the oath of office.)122

And God and the Lords saluted Jehovih before the hosts of heaven. And they stood apart a little distance, and Etisyai said:

Behold the All Light, Jehovih, encompasses me. My voice shall be His voice. By the glory of Faith in Him, I am One with the Father.

And a fleece of golden hue descended from above and encompassed Etisyai, and she was like a central star with rays of light emanating. She was entranced by Jehovih. Through her the Creator spoke, saying:

My Son, now God, I brought you forth out of corpor, quickened into life everlasting. By faith I inspired you to do whatever you have done. Faith I gave to you, as the tree on which ALL PERFECTION is the fruit. By that faith within man, which nurtures the I AM within himself to perfection, he becomes My Son,123 doing by virtue of My presence. According to your wisdom and love I have given you strength; and by your strength, raised you up.

Behold, this day I have given you a kingdom in atmospherea, and made you God before all the kingdoms of heaven. This place shall be your place and Mine also. Here you shall dispense wisdom and laws, and appoint officers in My name and by virtue of My power.

And your kingdom shall be like two kingdoms: One here with the hosts of heaven, and one on the earth, over these your Lords. For you are the judgment seat and creator of order over the whole earth, and in the heaven belonging to the earth.

Stretch forth your hand, My Son, and clothe yourself in the golden fleece.

God made the sign, and then raised his hands upward, saying: Jehovih! Jehovih! By Your command I call upon You to array me in Your golden fleece! Behold I am Your Son.

And the archangels tossed up the raiment and regalia they had brought from their etherean arc in a‘ji, and, by the faith that was in God, the substance flew to him and encompassed him in raiment of the upper heaven.

Then Jehovih spoke to the Lords, saying: As God has built a kingdom in Hored, and reigns over this heaven, and over you and your helpmates, so shall you build kingdoms on the earth, and you shall rule over mortals in My name, teaching them about Me and My everlasting kingdoms in the firmament above. In testimony of My voice, receive this raiment of silver and gold from My archangels.

The archangels then draped the Lords in shining raiment. And Etisyai came down from the throne, still entranced, saying:

Though My Daughter Etisyai will rise up in the flame of fire, yet I, Jehovih, will abide with you, O God, and with you, My Lords, now and forever! And then Etisyai took God‘s hand and led him to the center of the throne, saying: Sit on this throne for it is your Father‘s kingdom in the lower heaven of the earth!124

When God sat down, the entrancement departed from Etisyai, and the Light of Jehovih went and settled upon God and the Lords. But Etisyai sat down at the foot of the throne, and immediately all the archangels sat down also.
