Book of Aph, Son of Jehovih 1

This is a passage from the *Oahspe Bible* (1882), a channeled American spiritualist scripture, specifically from the Book of Aph — a proclamation by the etherean God Aph conveying Jehovih's (the supreme creator's) decree for the destruction and purging of Earth and its corrupted lower heavens. The central argument is that humanity and the spiritual beings dwelling near Earth have fallen into irredeemable parasitic darkness: "drujas" (malevolent spirits) and "fetals" (spirits that attach vampirically to the living) have so thoroughly corrupted both the mortal world and the lower heavenly realms that Jehovih decrees the entire system must be swept away, with corrupt spirits quarantined in "walls of fire" and forcibly separated to break their mutual spiritual feeding. A notable theological claim is that Jehovih is radically impersonal and omnipresent — not a commanding king but a voice immanent in all things, heard only by the soul rather than the ear, which is precisely why materialistic humans cannot perceive him. The second half shifts to cosmic scale, with Aph relaying Jehovih's call going out across a vast and elaborately named etherean universe — summoning Orian Kings, ancient Goddesses, and beings "of millions of years standing" to witness the harvest of Earth's souls. The text is distinctive for its invented cosmological geography (Hautuon, Mentabraw, the etherean arcs of Fas and Leigge) and its framing of planetary destruction not as divine wrath but as necessary spiritual surgery, analogous to a farmer pruning crops.
