The I’hin were not considered “perfection of manhood and womanhood’. They were not a superior race in which righteousness resulted from their own knowledge. They were righteous and without evil only by the “constant presence of my exalted angels”. In times of darkness on Earth, the I’hin were also susceptible to temptation, war, and idolatry.

The Lord said: Think not that I came to one nation alone, leaving the others in darkness; I came not to one alone, but unto all divisions of the earth.

Oahspe emphasizes that the I’hin race was raised up “separate from the world’s people” to be “an example of righteousness for man to look upon”. They lived separately not because they were above living with others, but out of necessity. It was the only way they could live a life that abided by their commandments. They were not supposed to own land or homes, nor go to war not even to defend themselves, nor be ruled by kings or queens, nor marry outside of their race. 

The intention for the 72,000-year Age of Seffas was for barbarians (the non-spiritual world’s people), to learn from all the different events that occurred throughout the 26 cycles so that in the age of kosmon, which is now, non-spiritual people could learn from both (1) the history and (2) the examples of the I’hin way of life (which would actually be exemplified by the Ghan rather than the I’hin because the I’hin disappear from Earth about 4,500 B.C.).

The I’hin were supposed to be an example so that in the age of kosmon, when it’s time for the non-spiritual to hear the voice of God, they would be able to comprehend God’s commandments and practice virtue and knowledge on their own accord without the presence of a God or God’s hosts. Mankind would perceive that righteousness, peace, and love toward one another is the only way to be happy and resurrect (ascension of the soul beyond Earth’s atmosphere). 

In addition to the events of history and the life of the I’hin providing testimony, people that dwell in darkness also provide a service unto the Creator. Oahspe explains that by design, a sufficient number of people that dwell in darkness remain on Earth today as testimony that of themselves, without the presence of angels, these people don’t desire evolution, knowledge, peace, industry, love, and good works unto one another.

And there are still others that try to destroy such people and they are testimony that even our “wisest and most learned have no power in resurrection” unless they live by the example set by the I’hin. 

The I’hin that were saved from the great flood survived for 21,000 years in America (then called Guatama), China (Jaffeth), and in Egypt/Africa (Ham). I’huans in America called them Oech’lo’pan (people of another world). The I’huans of China called them Tua Git (people of spirit light). The I’hin of Egypt/Africa “broke the law of God more than all other Faithists, being of warm blood, and they mixed greatly with the I’huans”.

For India (Shem), the I’hin survived for only 12,000 years because they became impotent and mixed with the I’huans. The I’huans called them Sri-vede-iyi (people of the true light, woman-like). For the smaller group of I’hin that went north to what was left of the sunken continent of Pan (Japan), they mixed into the I’huan race within a thousand years, yet they still “redeemed the barbarians into wisdom and peace.”
