Transcript
00:15After the jinn, Iphippus demonstrated one of his powers to the king, Solomon bade him to bring to
00:22him the demon of the Red Sea, the spirit he so much spoke of to him, so that he could
00:28also witness his
00:29powers. But it was a trick, Solomon was not so interested in their demonstrations as much as he
00:36wanted to contain the spirits to bring them both to nothing. And as commanded, Iphippus led the demon
00:44of the Red Sea with the column, and they both took the column and raised it aloft from the earth.
00:52Once they were both under the massive pillar, holding it up in the air, Solomon quickly sealed
00:58the two spirits on that very spot from both sides, so that they could do nothing but stand day and
01:05night, year after year, holding up the massive stone, so that they would never again shake the entire
01:12earth from the depths of the sea, nor blow destructive winds upon the earth for as long as he had
01:20power
01:20over them. He had outwitted the two spirits. And Solomon questioned the other spirit,
01:28which came up with the pillar from the depths of the Red Sea, saying, Who are you? What are you
01:35called?
01:35And what is your purpose? For I have heard many things about you. And the demon answered, O King Solomon,
01:44I am called a Bezithubod, and I am a descendant of an archangel. I once sat in the first heaven,
01:52of which the name is Ameleoth. And now I am a fierce spirit with a single wing, plotting against every
02:01spirit under heaven. I was present when Moses went in before Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and it is I
02:09who hardened the king's heart. I am he whom the magicians, Ians and Iambas, invoked against Moses
02:18and Aaron in Egypt. I am he who fought against Moses with wonders and signs.
02:26Solomon said to him, How were you then found in the Red Sea? And he answered, In the exodus of
02:34the
02:34sons of Israel, I hardened the heart of Pharaoh and excited his heart and that of his ministers.
02:41I caused them to pursue after the children of Israel, and Pharaoh followed me with all of his army.
02:49I was present there, and we pursued them together. But when we all came up upon the Red Sea,
02:56and it came to pass that the children of Israel had crossed over, the water returned and hid all
03:03the host of the Egyptians, and all their might. The water hid me as well, as I have remained in
03:11the sea
03:11since then, being trapped under this pillar. But when Ephippus came, being sent by you, he freed me,
03:20and fetched me up to you. Having heard this, Solomon commanded the spirits not to disobey him,
03:27but to remain supporting the pillar. And they both swore, saying, As long as the Lord your God liveth,
03:36we will not let go of this pillar until the world's end. But whatever day this stone falls,
03:43then shall be the end of the world. As he writes this testament in his final days, Solomon says to
03:52his
03:52readers, watch. The spirits have remained upholding the column until this day, for proof of the wisdom
04:00bestowed onto me. Look there, and you will see the pillar of enormous size, hanging in mid-air,
04:07supported by the winds. These were the spirits appearing underneath, like the invisible air,
04:14supporting it. And if one looks fixedly, the pillar is a little oblique, being supported by the spirits,
04:23and it is so, to this very day.
04:50The maze of things that Oesthetics has reached throughout the world's end of the world's end of this world's end
04:54of this world's end-tree,
04:57We have to go see the pillar of emperors and the mud, as it is.
04:58So, the water is on the border, which is called the pillar of emperors,
04:59so it is so.
04:59That's the same.
04:59You have to go see the pillar of emperors,
05:01You
