74:4.1 That night, the night following the sixth day, while Adam and Eve [[Sleep|slumbered]], strange things were transpiring in the vicinity of [[the Father]]'s [[temple]] in the central sector of [[Eden]]. There, under the [[rays]] of the mellow [[moon]], hundreds of [[enthusiastic]] and excited [[men]] and [[women]] listened for hours to the impassioned pleas of their [[leaders]]. They meant well, but they simply could not [[understand]] the [[simplicity]] of the fraternal and [[democratic]] [[manner]] of their new rulers. And long before daybreak the new and temporary [[administrators]] of world affairs reached a [[virtually]] [[unanimous]] conclusion that Adam and his [[mate]] were altogether too [[modest]] and unassuming. They [[decided]] that [[Divinity]] had [[descended]] to [[earth]] in [[bodily]] [[form]], that Adam and Eve were in [[reality]] [[gods]] or else so near such an estate as to be [[worthy]] of [[reverent]] [[worship]].
74:4.2 The [[amazing]] [[events]] of the first six days of Adam and Eve on [[earth]] were entirely too much for the unprepared [[minds]] of even the world's best [[men]]; their heads were in a whirl; they were swept along with the proposal to bring the [[noble]] pair up to [[the Father]]'s [[temple]] at high noon in order that everyone might bow down in [[respectful]] [[worship]] and [[prostrate]] themselves in [[humble]] submission. And [[the Garden]] dwellers were really [[sincere]] in all of this.
74:4.3 [[Van]] protested. [[Amadon]] was absent, being in charge of the guard of [[honor]] which had remained behind with Adam and Eve overnight. But [[Van]]'s protest was swept aside. He was told that he was likewise too [[modest]], too unassuming; that he was not far from a [[god]] himself, else how had he lived so long on [[earth]], and how had he brought about such a great [[event]] as the [[advent]] of Adam? And as the excited Edenites were about to seize him and carry him up to the mount for [[adoration]], [[Van]] made his way out through the throng and, being able to [[communicate]] with the [[midwayers]], sent their [[leader]] in great haste to Adam.
74:4.4 It was near the [[dawn]] of their seventh day on [[earth]] that Adam and Eve heard the startling news of the proposal of these well-meaning but misguided [[mortals]]; and then, even while the passenger birds were swiftly winging to bring them to the [[temple]], the [[midwayers]], being able to do such [[things]], [[transported]] Adam and Eve to [[the Father]]'s [[temple]]. It was early on the morning of this seventh day and from the mount of their so recent [[reception]] that Adam held forth in explanation of the [[orders]] of [[divine]] sonship and made clear to these [[earth]] minds that only [[the Father]] and those whom he designates may be [[worshiped]]. Adam made it plain that he would [[accept]] any [[honor]] and receive all [[respect]], but [[worship]] never!
74:4.5 It was a momentous day, and just before noon, about the time of the arrival of the [[seraphic]] [[messenger]] bearing the [[Jerusem]] acknowledgment of the installation of the world's rulers, Adam and Eve, moving apart from the throng, pointed to [[the Father]]'s [[temple]] and said: " Go you now to the [[material]] emblem of [[the Father]]'s [[invisible]] [[presence]] and bow down in [[worship]] of him who made us all and who keeps us living. And let this [[act]] be the [[sincere]] [[pledge]] that you never will again be [[tempted]] to [[worship]] anyone but [[God]]." They all did as Adam directed. The [[Material Son and Daughter]] stood alone on the mount with bowed heads while the people [[prostrated]] themselves about the [[temple]].
74:4.6 And this was the [[origin]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Exodus#Chapter_.20 Sabbath-day] [[tradition]]. Always in [[Eden]] the seventh day was [[devoted]] to the noontide assembly at the [[temple]]; long it was the [[custom]] to [[devote]] this day to [[self]]-[[culture]]. The forenoon was [[devoted]] to [[physical]] improvement, the noontime to [[spiritual]] [[worship]], the afternoon to [[mind]] [[culture]], while the evening was spent in [[social]] rejoicing. This was never the [[law]] in [[Eden]], but it was the [[custom]] as long as the Adamic [[administration]] held sway on [[earth]].
