The Bevanawayanastani Bible/The Book of Illumination/English

Chapter One
In the town of Jerusalem there lived a young girl of thirteen summers by the name of Ysabel who was engaged to be married to Iosef, a smith's apprentice. It came to pass that Ysabel was in a field by the town of Jerusalem picking berries and dancing with merriment. And in this field, it happened that an orgiastic ritual was to begin.

Chapter Two
And it happened that in the sky there appeared a brilliant star. The lustre of this star was such that its light pierced into the souls of all who gazed upon it and they were struck down in great awe at this brilliant portent. This wondrous star, as placed in the heavens by the GODS, did hang over the town of Jerusalem and so the town was blessed by the GODS.

In the Kingdom of Ajia to the East, four Kings of the Orient did gaze up into the heavens and they did spy the GOD'S brilliant star. And then, down from the heavens did the mighty ARA appear. And HE did speak unto the kings, "Behold, I am your GOD ." And they did bow down before HIS glorious form and they did worship HIM.

And the lord ARA did glow with a holy fire; an illumining brilliance did come forth from HIS flaming eyes in a brilliant golden blaze. Atop HIS royal crown was a mane of radiant hair platinum as the dawn's light; and HIS beard did flow down majestically like the pelt of the noble white wolf. From HIS broad shoulders to HIS rippling pectorals; HIS chiselled abdominal muscles a perfect visage of strength; HIS form as if carved of stone. Behind HIM, HIS cape did billow out as the sails of a mighty vessel, as if filled with a powerful gale.

And unto HIS glorious form did the Kings of the Orient gaze. And he did speak unto them, "Behold, you have been chosen for a great purpose!"

"Over the town Jerusalem in the west there lies a brilliant star; this star leadeth to the birthplace of a mighty king who will be ruler unto the people of Jerusalem and all the surrounding lands; and he shall bring great enlightenment to all the people of these lands."

"You must go to his birthplace and bear to him gifts fitting for a king. Do this now!"

And so, the four kings did set off to the distant town of Jerusalem to present their gifts to the new king.
