Book of Osiris, Son of Jehovih 1

This is an excerpt from *Oahspe: A New Bible* (1882), an American spiritualist scripture purportedly channeled by dentist John Ballou Newbrough, written in deliberate imitation of biblical prose. The text narrates a cosmic intervention: the god Jehovih commands his son Osire, ruler of the etherean realm Lowtsin, to descend to the troubled earth with a massive celestial fleet because gentle persuasion has failed and the planet has fallen into spiritual anarchy under false gods. A key plot driver is the emergence of the Ghans, a new human race described as powerful, self-willed, and resistant to divine authority — contrasted with the docile I'hins — whose stubborn souls are disrupting heavenly order by setting up rogue spirit kingdoms after death. Osire storms into the atmosphere with fifty million hosts, confronts the false god Utaya (who denies Jehovih's existence and declares himself Apollo), and prepares to impose divine law by force rather than love. The work's most distinctive claim is its cosmological hierarchy of traveling worlds, etherean fields, and administrative gods who manage planetary evolution across vast timescales — essentially a bureaucratic universe governed by Jehovih through specialized divine officers. Readers considering the full text should expect densely archaic prose, elaborate invented cosmology, and racial theology that reflects 19th-century assumptions about human types and divine hierarchy.
