Excerpt from The Autobiography of a Crystal in the Formation of the Solar System: From the Incremation of the Sphere of Equity in the Heavens the Fall of Lucifer Dissolving of Chaos and Beginning of This Resurrection, Commonly Called the Creation of Heaven and Earth, to the Expulsion of Adam From Eden When, in the exercise of the justice of God on the earth, the Elamite abandoned the children of Israel in the wilderness of Sin, saying, "I will not go up in the midst of thee, for thou art a stiff-necked people: lest I consume thee by the way." And gave them into the hand of the Medianite, his minister in those parts, who slew all that generation and led them not into the land, but had all his own males destroyed in the plains of Moab, where Moses, also, for his connivance with him, was condemned to die on Pisgah, Joshua, a man of war, being appointed their leader in his stead, who took them over Jordan and established them in the land. But they departed again from the equity of righteousness and justice of the Almighty, for the administration of which the tabernacle was set up in the wilderness; made them "a king to go before them in battle," and were carried away to Babylon and given over into the hands of the murderous Roman.
