The Lord’s Fourth Book. Chapter 1, Chapter 2

BEING COTEMPORANEOUS WITH THE BOOK OF THOR, CYCLE OF THOR, SON OF JEHOVIH. AS
THE LATTER BOOK IS OF THE HIGHER AND THE LOWER HEAVENS, SO IS THE LORDS’ BOOK
OF THE LOWER HEAVENS AND THE EARTH, BOTH BEING FOR THE SAME PERIOD OF TIME.

Chapter 1

1. By altars and temples, and by idols and images, and by painted signs and engraved
words, God foresaw that the knowledge of one generation could be handed down to the
next. And though all these things are false in fact, as a written word is not a word, but an
image of an idea which hath been spoken, so by symbols conveyed God the living truth.

2. God said: Behold, with my sacred people have I established myself in written words.
Now hath it come to pass that all the races of men on earth shall be made to know me.

3. God commanded man to make stone and wooden images, and engravings also, of
everything upon the earth; and man so made them according to his own knowledge.

4. God said: As every living creature hath a name, so shall the image thereof and
the engraving thereof have the same name. And even so shall it be with all things
on the earth, and in the waters thereof, and in the air above the earth; the image and
the engravings shall have the same names, even as the real things themselves.

5. And God sent his angels down to man, to inspire him in the workmanship of images
and engravings, and man thus accomplished the commandments of God.

6. And these were the first writings since the flood, other than such as were kept secret
amongst the I’hins. And of this manner were the writings, to wit:

7. A picture of a man was a man; a picture of a tree was a tree; a picture of a bird was a
bird; and even so was everything represented by its own name and image.

8. Then God said: When thou hast made the picture of a spear, behold it is a spear. And
when thou desirest to show which way a man goeth, thou shalt add to the graven image
the likeness of a spear; and the way it pointeth, shall show the way man goeth. Even so
shalt thou express the going of everything on earth and in heaven.

9. Thus man made a written language, and in every region of the earth. By many men
were these things done; according to the light of God upon them, so accomplished they
the written languages of thousands of tribes of men.

10. God said: This shall be called the Panic language (Ah-ce-o-ga), because it is made of
earthly images. And, in after ages, whoever desireth to find the first written words of
man, shall have recourse to the pictures of all things on earth, and in the waters, and in
the air above the earth.

11. God said: As in the olden time man named all things according to their own spoken
words and sounds uttered, so in the days of Thor came the written words of everything on
earth and in heaven.

12. When man had written the name of all things, one only had he not written, even the
name of his Creator.

13. God said: Even that also shalt thou write. Then man inquired: O Lord, how can I find
a word to express the Creator?

14. God said: Many tribes have I raised upon the earth, and, behold, they have all written
the names of all things, save only the Creator. Go to, therefore, and write thou His name
also.

15. Man said: Alas, O my God! I know no name, save the names I have already made. If I
could hear the Creator, or see Him, then could I write His name.

16. God said: Thou hast named the wind (wh-sh!), which thou hast not seen. Name thou
thy Creator. And His name shall comprehend all things, far and near, seen and unseen.

17. Then man drew a circle and called it O, for it represented that which was without
beginning or end, and which contained all within it. Then man drew a line cutting through
the circle from east to west, to represent the light of the east traveling to the west. Then
man drew a line from below upward, cutting the circle at right angles with the horizontal,
to represent the one road of all things, from the bottom upward forever. The first line
man called E, for it was the same as the wind speaketh in the leaves. But the second
line he called IH, for it represented that unseen shaft that cutteth all things in twain.

18. And when man had completed the engraving, he called it E-O-IH!

19. God said: In this, thy symbol, thou hast found the way of a true square (true cross) and
the four quarters of the world. (See tablet Se’moin, Book of Saphah.)

20. Keep thou His name and the image thereof a secret betwixt the rab’bahs and thy God.
Neither shalt thou utter it aloud, for it is sacred upon the earth.

21. Betwixt thee and thy Creator standeth thy God, who is Lord of heaven and earth.
Behold, I am the key of life and death; through me, thy Lord, shalt thou unlock all the
mysteries of heaven and earth.

22. Neither shall my rab’bah, nor my prophets, call on the name of any spirit, save the
Lord, who is God. The words I give corporeally I have recorded in heaven; neither can
man alter my records and make them accord with that which is written above. But in the
lapse of time I provide seers and prophets, to whom I can reveal to mortals the things of
heaven.

23. This have I spoken to Jehovih for thee: Man shall measure Thy hand upon him;
remember Thy eye upon him; seek for Thy wisdom within him; and be thankful for Thy
good things before him; to consider the little good of them that deny Thee; the conceit of
them that claim to be self-made; and the folly of uttering other glories than Thine, and yet
to mention them not; for these are the attaining of wisdom.

Chapter 2

1. The Lord came down to man on the earth, and spake to man in two ways: By the voice,
as man speaketh; and by the spirit, as soul answereth to soul.

2. The Lord said: The voice of man is air in motion; by the mouth of man cometh the
word of knowledge.

3. But back of the voice; back of the air in motion; back of the mouth, which giveth
voice, there lieth the soul, which it is that causeth man to think of speaking. And the soul
lieth in the ocean of the Creator, Who is God of all.

4. The Lord said: That that speaketh to thy soul, O man, teaching thee wisdom and good
works; reproving thee for thy faults, and enchanting thee with the glories of all created
things, is the voice of thy Creator. And that is the road by which the Lord thy God cometh
to thee.

5. The Lord said: Behold, man hath attained to written knowledge; now shall he have
books, and learn to keep records, after the manner of the angels in heaven. Then God sent
angels down to man, speaking both by the soul and by the voice; in different places and to
different rab’bahs, teaching them how to make books of skins, and of bark, and of cloth,
for the graven words and images which he had taught man.

6. In these days the lands of Jaffeth and Shem and Ham were inhabited by millions of
I’huans and Ghans; but the countries lying between them were inhabited by I’huans only.

7. And God spake to the people of Ham, saying: Behold, there are two other countries
inhabited by kin of your kin, flesh of your flesh, and they are Ghans also. And they speak
and write with Panic words, even as ye do.

8. And the Hamites inquired: How far are the two other countries? Where are they?

9. The Lord said: Gather together a thousand men and women, and I will lead you to your
brethren, whose forefathers were also saved from the flood; saved by the sacred little
people, the I’hins. Provide ye oxen and asses and all things requisite for a journey of four
years, and I will lead you.

10. The Hamites obeyed God, and provided themselves as commanded; into two
companies of a thousand each equipped they themselves, and started on their journey for
Jaffeth and Shem.

11. Then spake God to the people of Jaffeth, saying: Behold, there are two other countries
inhabited by kin of your kin, flesh of your flesh, and they are Ghans also. And they speak
and write with Panic words, even as ye do.

12. The Jaffeth’yans said: How far are the two other countries? Where are they?

13. The Lord said: Gather together a thousand men and women, and I will lead you to
your brethren, whose forefathers were also saved from the flood; saved by the sacred little
people, the I’hins. Provide ye in all things requisite for a journey of four years, and I will
lead you.

14. The Jaffeth’yans obeyed God, and provided themselves as commanded; into two
companies of a thousand each equipped they themselves and started for Ham and Shem.

15. Then spake the Lord to the people of Shem in the same way, telling them of Jaffeth
and Ham; and they also equipped themselves in two companies and started for Ham and
Jaffeth.

16. Thus provided God these three separate peoples to go and visit one another, and all in
the same period of time. And God said unto them, ere they started: Very fierce and savage
are the I’huans who inhabit the wilderness on the way. Behold, they eat the flesh of both
man and beast. But they will not harm the I’hins; therefore, O my beloved, on your long
journey take with you two score of I’hins. Through the I’hins can the Lord your God speak
all languages, even the language of the barbarians, the I’huans.

17. Leave all things in the hands of the Lord God.

18. So it came to pass, after a journey of four years, the migrants from each country came
to the place of their destination. And by their written and spoken words knew they one
another; and they called themselves the three children of the arc of Noe.

19. And the Lord said unto them in each of the countries whither they had come: Provide
records unto the work of God; for these journeys shall be remembered to the end of the
world.

20. And in all these countries there were made images of stone and copper, and
engravings thereon of the children of Noe, and of the flood, and of the sacred tribes,
Shem, Ham and Jaffeth.

21. God said: These shall be preserved as the first written names of these lands. And it
was so.
