' f ISRAEL GATHERED IN TROUBLO SSTIME THY PEOPLE SHALL BE DELIVERED, EVERY oNE THAT SHALL BE WRITTEN IN ‘THE BOOK. 4 DAN. 12.1 IN that day Michael shall stand up for the deliverance of - his people Israel; and there shall be a time of trouble such as never was, even to that same time again. Daniel was speaking of the end of the second dispensation, and the time in which .\lichael—the spirit of Jesus, and who was ‘ ."lesus——would stand up; which would follow a time of _ trouble such as never was, even to that same time again— i. e., in his second coming; for the thing that has been shall be, and God requircth the thing which‘is past. There are three great woes and overturns spoken of ; and in the book of Revelation it says, Two woes are passed, and the third woe cometh. Rev. 11-14.

Luke 21-24. Then the Lord shall set his hand the second time to recover the remnant of his people Israel. Then ‘comes the time of trouble. And this gospel of the kingdoui shall be preached in all nations for a witness, then cometh the end. But how will the end come? Like unto his ﬁrst coming; and judgment followed, and the time of trouble. So it is now. The Gentiles will do as did the Jews in his ﬁrst coming; and so enter into judgment. And how much more so now, in this second, it being the end! And the old world will be destroyed in thcsegreat troubles, for it is the great and dreadful day of vengeance. ‘ There Shall Be a Time of Trouble, Such As Never Was Since There Was a Nation, ' Even To That Same Time. Dan. 12-1. [T will be noticed, in Daniel it says, Such a time of trouble, as never was, even ‘to that same time again. In - the gospel it says, Such a time of trouble as never was no, nor ever shall be—showing the time of trouble at his,ﬁrst coming, which shall be again at his second; and this is " shown to be the greatest ever was, or ever shall be—t,he time of the end, as in the days of Noah and as in the days of Lot. Yet it is a greater time of trouble than was then in Noah’s day, because this time it will be both internal and external——house against house; ﬁve in a house, and three; against two, etc. And it says in the Apocrypha, Friends will fall out and ﬁght like enemies; both church against state; nation against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. Amid this turmoil and confusion, there shall be death and dcstruc. tion on every hand; and the seven vials of the seven last 1 plagues shall be poured out, until every thing is destroyed except those in_whom righteousness and justice isfound. and i such as believe in the life of the body, soul and spirit. My not, when such fight for death, against the true and living’? God of life and immortality? This was the rejection against *1‘ Jesus, who came to abolish death, and to destroy him who had power of death; which was the devil. Therefore they refused, and fought against ‘him; and so were turned into it judgment. And judgment, death and destruction continued~ if and the Holy City, the spirit of life, was trodden under foot: ; till the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled, [CONTINUED on PAGE 4.] O OOOOQOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO O0.00.0§.O0.00.00.00.00.00.00.0 §.O0.00.0Q.OO.Q0.0Q.O0.0Q.O0.00.0 O O .06 09 00.0 9 99,9 9 O .

Therefore die mission of Christ is to abolish death, . d‘.to‘ destroy him who had power of death, which- is the evil, (Heb. 2-14,) and bring a restoration and full redemp- ion to Israe1—his elect. - _ ‘Those, therefore, whom he foreknew, he did predestiflate o be conformed to the iiriage of his son, who hath immortal- ty. _And now this .shows these spirits of the just—the elect‘ d-fought against the devil, the god of the dead, and so _d the will‘ of God in spirit, in 'heaven’s paradise; for which, andito whom, the promise was given by God (who cannot lie) beforethe world began. Titus 1-2. Therefore _e- command of prayer was, Our Father who art in heaven, allowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, (not die _and oup, but pray thy kingdom comc,) thy will lie done in car/fi t ‘Ivar done in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread—- k not the bread that perishcth, but that bread which ie Son of man will give, before whom all nations shall be thered, etc. And we shall not live by bread alone, but by very‘ word thatproceedeth from the mouth of God. Matt. -4. _ eek _Ye First the Kingdom of God and 1-His Righteousness and All -Things Shall Be Added Unto You; ~ ’- Matthew 6-33. _ F)SUS—who possessed the spirit of God, called Christ, ‘which rested upon Him at the river Jordan, by which he entered his.ministry——by that spirit of life, said, 1 am the read which cometh from heaven, that if a man (not angels but live for ever. John 6-51. Our fathers ate manna angel food), but they are dead. But I am that bread that comes from heaven, that a man may eat thereof and live for CV61‘; Jdsus did not abolish death universally at his ﬁrst com- ing. And why? This we have before explained. How- -ever, let us brief upon this verygreat subject again: Listen! Hark! All scripture shows a ﬁrst and second coming of Son in man (Christ or Shiloh), and the end of the Old kingdom of Satan-—that great and dreadful day of the Lord of the second coming. Death was to reign for six thousand years, less the shortened time for the elect’s sake, or no ﬂesh would ‘Therefore he will come upon the old sleepy ﬁdamic world as a thief in the night; but to Israel it is said, You brethren are not in darkness that that day should come upon ief. And why? They are in the light of this visitation—the light of life. And why will he come upon all darkness, and all of the old wor'~d of ddnrh. Therefore as iii ‘beset you; which is unbelief. Lays, it aside, and every . No prophecy of scripture is of a private interpretation. Jesus ‘ a servant, to set a pattern, and suffer for the kingdom’s sake "In the Way of Righteousness Is Life, and ' but to be spiritually minded is life and peace; (Rom. 8’-6;) land as Jesus said, “Of their father the devil,” of his \'~'0I'l(:i will they do——they looking at the dead letter which killeth; , ‘of life. And his body was nailed to the accurscd trce—— mg days of Noah, and as in the days of Lot, so shall it be in 4 the coming of the Son of man. But the great deluge did not catch Noah asleep, and come upon him as a thief. No! He was prepared, and his house ready for it, etc. Therefore, Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all things shall be added unto you. And so what would it proﬁt a man to gain the whole world, and lose himself‘? (Luke 9-25)—i. e., what would it proﬁt a man to gain the whole world of sin and death, and by death lose himself, and maybe his soul‘? as it is given both ways; because the ﬁrst death, by sin, is the death of the body, and they suffer -loss; the second death is the death of the soul, for a thou- sand years; as the rest of the dead-—-who repent not, and for certain sins against light and truth——live not again till a thousand years are expired, etc. Let Us Lay Aside Every Weight, and Let Us Run With Patience the Race -That Is Set Before Us. ‘Hebrews 12-1. SIN against the Holy Ghost—i. e., against it,_ with light _ and knowledge—shall not be forgiven in this world, nor in the world to come. Notice! The new world is to come. And so it is written, The kingdoms of ﬁzz"; world are become the kingdoms of our Lord and his Christ; (Rev. .11-15;) and he shall reign with them-——i. e., his elect, re- _ deemed sons of God—on the earlh. Rev. 5-10. Therefore he that drinks of the waters that I shall give, out of his belly shall ﬂow rivers of living waters; and it shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life; (John 4-14 ;)—not unclean pools from graveyards. Broad is the way that leadeth to death, and many go in thereat; which is the way that leadeth to destruction, and to corruption. Therefore lay aside every weight that doth so easily weight of incumbrance, and run the race with patience. Heb. 12-1. And blessed is the man who renders obedience to his calling. We must not be like those who delay the Lord’s coming. To them who look for him, shall he come the second time, without sin, unto salvation. And remember, in his ﬁrst.coming, took part _of the nature of sinful man-— which was blood, without the evil; therefore_ taking not the nature of angels, but the seed of Abraham—seed of .God; and was ‘made a little lower than theangels, because of the blood—part of man’s nature; and took therefore the form of -—learn‘ing‘.obedience by the things he suffered; and ﬁnally. gave up the blood, by the death of the cross, and was raised with power——becoming a High Priest, who liveth ever, the‘ just having been given for the unjust. ' Therefore his first, coming was for the 102415 of the Adarnie world; and did not abolish death in his ﬁrst com- iiiig, -butwhe abolished the law:-which could not give life; (Eph. 2-15;)—nor could it, with its animal’ and bird sacri- ﬁces, save souls of a lost world. Therefore all the blood of animals, birds, and ten thousand rivers of oil, could not have lifted the stupendous weight of sin and condemnation, as was lifted at the cross by the love of God; who so loved the world that hegave his only begotten son as a ransom for all souls to become as angels in resurrection. Therefore it was said, I am the resurrection and the life———resurrection of the souls of the dead, and the life of the living. In‘ the Pathway Thereof There Is No ‘Death. ‘ Prov. 12-28. EEING the law could make nothing perfect, it was abolished in a two-fold sense, or more. Sacriﬁce and offering thou wouldst not, etc. Yet strange to say, the Jews do not make sacriﬁce in the old way; yet they do sacriﬁce unto devils, and worship the god of the dead, knowing it not; as it is written, Ye worship ye know not what. John 4-22. I will brieﬂy explain the two-fold meaning: There were two laws in the law of Moses, in direct opposition to each other—one working death, and the other life, and was ordained unto life, but was found to be unto death because of carnality; as it'is written, To be carnally minded is death, —the one law (the dead letter which lcilleth—the curse of the law) proving death. And as it says, Death reigned from Adam to i\Ioses,.and over those who did notsin after the similitude of ..-\.d:iiii"s transgression—f0rbidding blood, which Aclaiii partook of, and fell. Yet the Jews sinned against the righteousness of the law, and by the dead letter con- demned Jesus to death. Yet the law said, Thou shalt not kill! and therefore Jesus said, The law forbids death, and you go about to kill me. But they being children of death. and by which they stoned even their own prophets, and con- demned their own Lord; who came unto his own, and his own received him not—i. e., coming of their lineage. Jesus was made under the law—not thelaw of a c;ii'n;il commandgiient, but he was made by the righteousness of the law, and after the power of an endless life. Elijah was trans- lated by living in obedience to the righteousness of the law; and asiit says, In the way of righteousness is life, and in the pathway thereof there is no death. Prov. 12-28. There- fore, Jesus being made by this law, he was the :§‘1ll')SUll1CEV0-i the law~the life of the law—-having the law of the spirit "ibolishinrr the curse and made :1 free gift of grace witliniit . . r. - 5 g .

Jesus therefore said, Ye are not my sheep, nor have they known me, nor my Father. John Io-26. And they said, Get him out of our coast! and they tried, _and would have thrown him over the brow_ of the hill; and ﬁnally cried out with one accord, “Release unto us Barabbas, and away with Jesus! Crucify him!” Barabbas was a thief; and Jesus said, The thief cometh not but to kill and to destroy; but I have come that ye might have life, and have it more abundantly. And B2ll'11l)bZ1S'W21s a ﬁgure of the devil, author of death; and his own hold with him on that side, and surely shall ﬁnd it. VVis. of Sol. (Apoc.) 2-24. This Is My Covenant Unto Them When I Shall Take Away Their Sins. Romans 11-27. I ESUS said, How oft would I have gathered you as a hen gathereth her brood under her wings, and ye would not! Therefore they ‘were not gathered, nor was death abolished; but it is written, He came to abolish death, and to destroy him who had power of death, which is the devil. And so he will; for, The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death (1 Cor. 15-26); and your covenant with death shall be dis- annulled, and your agreement with hell (the grave) shall not stand; for a new covenant will I make with the house‘of Israel after those days. - ' You know, when the Jews were cut off from life, (but- not without a cause,) the Gentiles were grafted in under- a free gift, till theirfulness. And so Jesus said, The Holy City shall be trampled under foot till the times of the Gen- tiles be fulﬁlled; (Luke 21-24;) when then the Lord would set his hand the second time to recover the remnant of his people Israel; and after those days (Gentile times), I will make a new covenant, when‘ I shall take away their sins. Rom. 11-27. And this is the covenant: I will write my laws in their hearts,‘ and stamp them upon their minds; for as there was a change of riesthood, there was of a necessity a change of the law. Heb. 7-12. The priests of the old law made offering ﬁrst for their own sins—showing ‘they were sinners—and then for the people; and so a change of priesthood, and a change of the law, as the old could not make aman perfect. < - When God Calls,’ the Kirig’s Business Re- quires Haste. 1 Samuel 21-8. SEEING there must be spirits of just men made perfect, there had to be this change; but the question may be asked, Since _that change, why have they not been made perfect? or'does it have reference for the soul salvation‘? No! I have just proven the atonement was a free gift with- out works of law; but Jesus brought the change~—life and immortality to light through the gospel—but sealed it agaip, as we often prove. And so it was written in the foregoing scriptures, Bind up the testimony, and seal the law among my disciples—forespeaking of the disciples of Jesus; and as he showed in ﬁgure when he closed the book and handed it to the ministers. Paul testified they saw only in.part—and this was after.Péntecost-; and John, who heard the seven thunders utter their voices, and he was about to write, but it was said, Seal up those things, etc.; and as all witnesses, prophets, forerunners, and disciples and apostles all prophesied and tcstiﬁed of what would be revealed in the time of the end and day of \-'isitation—the great and notable day of the Lord, when he shall come and gather in one, the family of God. He comes without sin unto salvation of body, soul and spirit, and to abolish death, and establish his kingdom on earth in peace and in righteousness. And by the sounding of the seven angel messengers there have been many entreaties and warnings as in Noah’s day; and speaking of and pointing to the days of the voice of the Seventh Angel, when he shall- bcgin to sound, the mystery shall be ﬁnished, as declared by Therefore the time is short, and this work is not to be delayed. V\'hen God calls,‘ the King’s business requires haste! _ Remember the parable given: \Nhen all things were ready, the invitation or call went forth, bidding them to the wedding; and they made excuses-—soine one tliing and some another. And then it was commanded, Go ye out into the hedges and highways, and compel them to come!-—even the halt (that is, such as halt betwceii two opinions, etC.). Remember there are two powers that work with man—-and especially in this time of visitation. “Compel them” signi- fies to'be drawn by the visitation; and, How can a man come unto me except the Father who sent me draw him‘? The Sun of Righteousness Shall Arise With! Healing In His Wings. Mal. 4-2. HE Second Child was to stand up in his stead-—as pre- . ﬁgured by the little child Jesus set in their midst, saying, He that recciveth this child in my name, receiveth me, and he that receiveth me, receivcth him that sent me, etc. Jesus was the root and offspring of David, the bright and morning star; and now the Branch and the Day-star which shall arise in your hearts. Therefore the son of righteousness shall arise with healing in his wings, for body, soul and spirit-«a permanent healing by the cleansin ' of the blood; as it is written, I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed, for the Lord dwclleth in Zion. A fountain shall be opened in the House of David for sin and unclean- iiess; and, In that day the House of David shall be as God. The 'i\Ian-branch shall grow up out of his place and build ' the temple of the I.ord. Zech. 6-12. And it is also written, not abolished at that time. And why? Br3CJ.llS(’ HM":-.

John 6-63. The Messenger, an Interpreter, is to show unto man his uprightness; then be gracious unto him, and saith, De- liver him from going’ down into the pit, I have found a ransom; his ﬂesh shall become fresher than that of a child’s, and he shall return to the days of his youth. And as the lightning shineth from the east even unto the west, so shall the coming of the Son of man be; (Matt. 24-27;) and where the body is, there will the eagles be gathered together. The lightning is as the light of this visitation——and which rests upon the Son of man as Christ rested upon Jesus, the, root and offspring of David; which now comes as ‘Shiloh, and unto’Shiloh shall the gathering of the people be. And as Jesus said, When the Son of man shall come, he will send his angels (messengers) to gather his elect, etc.; (Mark 13- 27;) and before him shall all nations be gathered. They shall be snatched as brands from the burning pile, as in the . days of Lot, etc. Israel must be gathered and sealed, before the thundering showers of judgment are poured forth by the seven angels of the seven last plagues; which is fast coming on—as sprinkles before the great storm. The Meek Shall Inherit the Earth, Which Was Made for Israel’s Sake. Matt. 5-5; 2 Esd. (Apoc.) 7-10, 11. NOW I will say in way of conclusion, this judgment set forth to come, and prefigured in so many object lessons, time would fail me to tell at present. But some. might be saying, Since our fathers fell asleep, all things continue as. they were from the beginning; and say, Where is the promise of his coming‘? etc. beginning of time, during these dispensations of time, show what is coming upon the earth; and Jesus reminded us of the same, and, Such time of trouble as never was, no, nor ever shall be. Matt. 24-21. But he spake in parable, and said, The time will come when I will no more speak in proverb and parable, but show you plainly of the Father. Some may ask why will such judgments and time "of ,trouble come upon the earth‘? And like as in the days of Noah, and as in days of Lot, this cannot come without a cause; therefore, as I have before explained, all «the fallen spirits have been taking bodies since Adam’s fall, and who hold with death on that side, and so as scripture says, “Shall surely find it;’’ [Wis. of S01. (Ap0C.) 2-24;] and the worst who make profession—hi1ving a form of godliness and deny the power thereof; ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth; deceiving and being deceived; as Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light, and no marvel if his ministers be transformed also; (2 Cor. 11-i5;)—who reject and deny this power of God to'save the body and redeem the planet. Yet the meek shall inherit the earth; and the world was made for Israel’s sake. 2 Esdras (Apoc.) 7, 10-11. A Remnant Shall Be Saved for the New Earth. Rom. 9-27; Rev. 5-10. REMNANT shall be saved for the new eiarth—this_ one returning to its Eden state, brings forth her seven-fold; and deserts blooming in roses, and Satan bound :1 ‘thousand years to deceive the nations no more.

All the scriptures from the‘ BEHOLD I SHOW YOU A MYSTERY: WE SHALL NOT ALL SLEEP 1 Corinthians 15-51. THE MYSTERY OF THE FALL, AND MYSTERY OF INIQUITY. 2 Thess. 2-7. TO understand the life of the body, first it is necessary to" explain, that you may see clearly, the mystery of the fall and the mystery of iniquity, beginning on this wise: It first had its origin with Lucifer, who was once a choice cherub of Eden. And where wasiEden? On this planet, before it came under the curse by sin. And if Lucifer was a choice cherub of EDEN, it shows there were others, whom Satan called gods. He acknowledged that fact to the wo- man, saying to her in his subtility, Ye shall be as these gods, knowing good and evil——Lucifer being a choice cherub till iniquity was found in him; and this has been a mystery, and cause of death. ' Therefore the cause has been a mystery also. And therefore Jew and Gentile believe all must die—not seeing what the cause was, and why the appointment came upon disobedience. However, iniquity was found in him; and so it is written, God made not death, but throiigh envy of the devil death came into the world. And therefore envy has shown itself since the fall; and it condemns Jesus Christ and his law, and chooses a thief and a robber, which we have ex- plained. And for the original envy and the subtility of the serpent, Eve was deceived, being in the transgression-not that it throws the blame on the woman, but she being mixed up with him in the ‘transgression. l\/Iixed up with whom? Lucifer, called the cherub of Eden, and the serpent, subtile beast in the shape of man. And so it is written of men as being natural brute beasts, made to be taken and~de- stroyed, because they hold with him on the side of death. This serpent preached to Eve and turned the truth into a lie——transformed it; which has run through the fallen race, and for which cause the whole creation groan and travail in pain together until now; and even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the’ re- demption of our body. Romans 8-23. - As By'One Man Sin Entered the World, an Death By Sin, So By the Obedience of One Shall Many Be Made Righteous. ’ Romans 5, 17-19. I WISH to say here, before we go further, if this adop- tion was for the soul salvation, why was it spoken after Pentecost, as yet to come—for which we wait according to the promise‘? Now as proof of the cause _of death in the beginning, we have already proven it to be through the sin of one man. Eve, being deceived, was in the transgression with him and Lucifer. First and greatest upon Lucifer; as proof, he was anointed and a bright star-—son of the inorn- . ing—and was not deceived; and it says the greater light the greater condemnation; and therefore he will be ,2lbZ1SCd beneath all, as it says, None are lost but the son of perdi- tion, that the scriptures be fulﬁlled. And it speaks of him as son of perdition in Revelation. In another place it says, Men shall narrowly look upon him, and say, Is this the man that shook kingdoms and made the earth to tremble‘? Isa. 14-16. , " Secondly, it came upon the woman. She brought the woe to the man, and upon herself also. Adam having the command, was not deceived; and therefore his sin was greater than Eve’s; she being deceived-, and therefore not so much to account for—_—not so great a transgression, as al-1 must be judged according to their understanding. Andso the prom- ise was made to the woman, that her seed should bruise the serpent’s head and overthrow his subtile understanding; and so it is also written, I will put enmity between the seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent. And this has been shown all along the line; and especially in the days-of Jesus, the seed of the woinan, and the seed of the serpent whom Jesus called serpents and generation of vipers, etc. It is also written, To be at peace with the world is to be at enmity with God; (James 4-4;) and to love death, they hate me. Prov. 8-36. Ye cannot serve two masters—must love the one and hate the other. Matt. 6-24. This proves the fact of what was said in the garden of Eden, and it was also said con- cerning "the woman, though she at first was deceived and was in the transgression with them, yet it was said,'Shall .I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul‘? Micah 6-7. This is two-fold in its meaning, as Adam blamed God for giving him the woman. Notwithstanding, she was given for a wise purpose, and to -be a helpinate to him; and instead, she proved to be a helpmeet—and it has been meet and serpent’s meat, from that day to this, followed by death and destruc- tion. Instead of helping him to life and immortality, she helped him into the grave; and death passed upon all because all have sinned in Adam. The Mystery of Godliness—God Manifest In , the Flesh. 1 Tim. 3-16. IN Adam all die. But another Adam steps in, in due time, and brings life and immortality to light through the gospel, and came to abolish death and to destroy him who had power of death,_which is the devil. In Christ shall all be made alive——but every MAN in his own order; and he gives every man according as his works shall be. But they must get out of Adam and get into Christ, and l1“’i€'d Tish‘: must get out of the works of the first Adam an 0 ks works of Jesus, our pattern and waymark; and greater igoigm than these shall they do, because I go unto my Father. 3 t 14-12. This is for the life of the body, as it says, the 5:’ Adam is of the earth, earthy; which means to conv€Y ° fact, that -if we walk after the pattern of the first Adam; the world, the devil and the ﬂesh, we go to earth. €,3“l}Y‘_‘ clay, dust, corruption; as it says, To be carnally minded 15 death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. There- fore we must have the mind of Christ, and l1ye—b0dY. -$9,“! and spirit. And so the latter Adam is a quickening spirit- To quicken what‘? Our mortal body, that it may be unmar- tal. And so Paul said, This mortal shall put on immortality. Behold I show you a mystery: We shall not all sleep! ‘ And this mystery is without controversy, godliness, God — manifest in-the ﬂesh-—not dead ﬂesh, nor corruption. He is ‘the God of the living who can walk before him in the light of the living, and who can praise him and glorify him, {ind he be gloriﬁed in them. Because‘ of the mystery of iniquity’; and the sin of Adam, cherubims with ﬂaming swords were placed at the gates to keep the way of the tree of life, till I . those came who would keep the , commandments of God and have I—-—- the faith of Jesus Christ.

A « , . , iE'very'.O_ne,That Is Among the Living, At if Jerusalem, Shall Be Called Holy. The 1 Holy People, the Redeemed of the Lord.» Isaiah 4-3; 62-12. I HE —Lord was to set his hand the second time, to recover, V _ the remnant of his people Israel. Jesus.set his hand for the remnant; but he said at his ﬁrst coming, Ye will not come unto me, that you might have life, and have it more abundantly. He said, How o_ft would I have. gathered you, and ye would not! Luke 13-34. But in this the second I’ e be will gather them, and‘ keep them as a shepherd eepeth his ﬂock. And thousands shall fall at their side, ;and ten thousand at their right hand, but it shall not come "nigh, them; and they who are found alive, shall be called the holy people, the redeemed of the Lord. Great gifts, and donations of every kind, were made for the building of the temple of Jerusalem, and while they were talking of "the gifts, Jesus said, The widow who gave her all——the two »pence—gave more than all (in his mind). Some spoke of the temple, saying, how it was ordained with goodly stones; ' but“ Jesusrsaid, As to these things which ye behold, the days will come in the which there will not be left one stone stand- ing upon another that shall not be thrown down. . - They said, When shall these things be‘? and what sign will there be, when these things shall come to pass’? Notwithstanding, Jesus had already said .to the Jews, Ye adulterous generation to seek a sign, and there shall‘ be no sign given but the sign of.Jonas the prophet, yet the disciples themselves asked, What sign would there be when these ‘ things shall come to pass‘? Luke 21-7. And Jesus said. Take heed that ye be not deceived. Luke 21-8. _Let no man deceive you; (Matt. 24-4;) for many shall come in my name, V .saying, I am Christ; but go not after them. Jesus was a prophet; for Christ who made the worlds was. resting upon him. (Man 346- Heb. 1-2;) who was He from whom a . - 5 knowledge and wisdom, and grace and truth flowed from "his lips, and all charity——all and in all. Charity is love, and God is love; but anger sometimes means love in thy word. is not to love the evil. Charity loves not Sin, and suffers not sin upon his brothers, for he has promised to take away their sins; but they must do his will. -It says of him who was the embodiment of charity, He loved righteousness, Heb. 1-9. But since we see he was a written for us upon whom the end has come. He foretold what the wicked would do unto him—yes, and those W110 professed to be righteous. And is that all‘? No. He further- more foretold what they (professors) would do in this the i a few points of which you will notice in our literature. He foretoldwhat would take place through the ages—beginning at Jerusalem —and the judgments that would follow, even unto the time of the end; when that terrible and dreadful time of trouble would come, such as never was, no, nor ever shall be. Dan. 12-1. He said that false Christs would come in his name, and Satan himself would be transformed into an angel of l_ight—the deceiver of the whole world; and would deceive the very elect, if it were possible. Matt. 24-24.. See Paul‘s writings, and notice closely, and you will see these false Christs and deceivers were manifested in his day, as’ Jesus had foretold; and were ever troubling the church— false brethren, etc. But all is written for the time ofthe end_and day of visitation; and the thing that has been shall be. Therefore the elect were kept back until this the day of visitation, of whom Jesus also spoke; and they would preach the same gospel of life and immortality unsealed. He That Endureth U_nto the End, the Same _ , Shall Be Saved. Matt. 24-13._ THEREFORE this is the great time spoken of, and the time in which Satan would transform and turn the truth into a 'lie—turning life into death, and speaking in His ‘ name. ‘They claim to be born of God, and therefore are false Christs; and come in his name, and shall deceive many. It was the legions that spoke in the man in tombs, who were sitting in the regions of death, saying, We are MANY. Therefore beirgg nowtransformed there are deceivers many—— legions—who would rather sit in tombs. And to see Jesus in light, and truth, greatly disturbs them, and they cry out,»O thou man of God, I know thee! But they who say they /mow him, and keep not his commands, or do not right- eousness, are liars and the truth is not in them. They cry out, Hast thou come to torment us before the time? But the time has now come, and it raises a great time of trouble such asinevfer was, no, nor ever shall be. For Satan will be bound a thousand years, to deceive the nations no more. Was it not the high priests—false prophets—hypocrites and Pharisees——t-hat fought against Jesus through envy‘? and" who loved death? And it says, They that love death hate me. Prov. 8-36. It is the same to day, for he foretold it; and we know it, and have seen it, and yet, understand it is but a drop in the bucket to what will be, and shall be now soon. And when persecution ariseth because of the ,Word, many will fall away; as is shown in the parable of the seed-sower. So it says, All are not Israel who-are of Israel. The promise is to them that endure to the end, the same shall be saved. The Sign of Jonah the Prophet. ’ , Luke 11-29, 30. - E NOW is to the sign of Jonah the prophet, it’ has two meanings. Jonah’s mission was to warn that wicked city. But they repented, and therefore Jesus spoke of it, saying, They repented at the preaching of Jonah. But those to whom Jesus preached did not repent, but condemned him, and the Gentiles cruciﬁed him; and their judgment will be greater. Jesus spoke of the wicked cities of the past, saying, Had they heard and seen the things that ye have heard and seen, they would have long sincearepented in sackcloth and ashes. But what was the sign of Jonah the prophet to them, and the object lesson for those who would afterwards live ungodly? 2 Pet; 2-6. The sign followed - soon after. They turned back into wickedness—forty years, and then came the sign to them of Jonah’s preaching, which was destruction of the city. I\Ien often ask for signs, and then believe less. When ‘they see most they believe less. They did so in Jesus’ day- They saw, and heard more pertaining to the king- dom of God than did the people of Ninevuh, and of Sodom and Gomorrah. Notwithstanding the preaching of Jonah, they called him a false prophet, because the city was not destroyed in 40 days. And why not‘? Because they repented. Then theycomplaincd because he did not destroy them anyhow. But when they turned back into wickedness, they were destroyed——in the Lord’s time, forty years. In the day of Jesus they asked what sign would there be. The sign of Jonah was destruction coming on. Therefore this warning message has been given. The “Extracts” gave the first pub- lic message of the third watch of this visitation, which was preached to the Gentiles, and addressed to the lost tribes scattered abroad. And as Jonah was to his generation, so shall the Son of man be to his, or this generation. From the time of J ezreel——the sixth messenger, who opened the third watch—Jon;1h’s forty years expire on, or about the closing of the eleventh hour. But remember, the sign to the world is the destruction of the wicked. But make no niistake here. The destruction of the old world, as in the days of Noah and Lot, has nothing to' do with Israel as signs. The sign they have, is the visitation-—the Spirit of truth. The in-i gzuiu-riiigg rand scaling of the servants of on; God is one ' thing, and the great and dreadful day of judgment follows. Noah and his household gathered safely before the ﬂoods came on; and they were dwelling safely. Likewise in the days of Lot, who was snatched as a ﬁre-brand from the burningpile. And so Israel shall be gathered in troublous times; and the time is now at your doors. When These Things Begin To Come To Pass, Then Look Up, and Lift Up Your Heads,_ for Your Redemption Draweth Nigh. Luke 21-28. EN ye see these things begin to come to pass, then lift up your heads, for your redemption draweth nigh. There shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon .tl1e people. And upon the earth there shall be distress ofnations, with perplexity, the sea and the Waves roaring. This, I might say here, is of a two-fold meaning, as‘ other scriptures show. There will not onlygbe great floods and upheavals in.the sea, with tidal waves and great destruction, but seas and waves of troubled waters are ﬁgurative of the j sea of death, and waves of trouble among the people. , ‘And he spake a parable of the fig-tree, and all the trees: VVhcn they now shoot forth, ye know of yourselves that Summer is nigh at hand. So when ye sec thesethings come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is at hand. - Luke 21-31. And verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away till all be fulﬁlled——this generation, who ,see these things spoken of; for this the time of the end and ' day of visitation. This parable, like‘ all parables, is written and sealed till this the day and time of visitation; for a parable was not to be understood, nor could they be under- stood, till the visitation and Spirit of truth interpreted them; thus unsealing them'to Israel, to whom the promise was made. The ﬁg-tree putting forth leaves, and all the trees, _are people of promise; and the sap springing up is a ﬁgure of the visitation of spirit, by which the trees put forth leaves, , preparatory to fruit. Christ Jesus said, Ye are the branches; and while yet tender, bud and put forth. The Summer is ﬁgurative of the millennium; and so it says, VVhen you see thcm—as the House of —David, Israel, to whom the promise pertains—begin to put forth, so ye may know the kingdom of God is nigh. Every tree that brings not forth good fruit shall be hcwn down and cast into the ﬁre. Matt. 3-io. And every tree that bears fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. John 15-2. _ All men shall hate you for my name’s sake. Take heed to yourselves; lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, etc., and that day come upon you unawares; for as a snare it shall come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. ’ - Watch Ye,_ Therefore, That Ye May Be Counted Worthy to Escape All These ' Things That Shall Come to Pass, and to Stand Before the Son of Man. . Luke 21-36. WATCH ye therefore, that ye may be counted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21-36. Add as the lightning shincth from the east even unto the west,, so -shall the coming of the Son of man be; and where the body is, there will the eagles be gathered together. God is light and life; and that spirit which rested upon Jesus , ihall also rest upon the Second‘ Child, who standeth up in .15 stead. Eccl. 4-15. The ‘Man-branch, Shiloh, is as the llghmmg; and he cometh without observation. Notwith- standing, it shall come and take up his abode with’him—the Son of man—before.whom, Jesus said, all nations would be gathered. This spirit is as lightning, and puriﬁes the air_ It Cciloes not only quicken the mind, but it shines forth light an truth. It is the keen blade of the lightning stroke that does the work. And the sounding thunders of his power '- 5°°n f0“0W; 35 the uttering of the seven thunders, heard bv John. ,The seven sounding angels of his power will be- heard in eyveiy land;_for this gospel of the kingdom shall bc preached in all nations.’ Then cometh the end, and the dreadful crash; as he will send his angel messengers, to gather his elect from the uttermost parts of heaven.

' IN the parable of the prodigal we must consider the old world and the new—that the new, or the beginning of the new, must be taken from the old; and they are to return now, as the prodigal. And yet no prophecy is of a private interpretation. The old world, who went astray, are brought back in resurrection; for whom Jesus came, and died on the cross, that they might be saved in resurrection. As to the parable spoken of pertaining to the ninety-nine, who went not astray, and ‘needed no repentance, these are they who are reserved for the millennium; who never sinned, and therefore needed no repentance. Jesus came to earth——sent of the Father, to seek and ﬁnd the one lost. This is the one—144,ooo, as one, in the one Christ, the Good Shepherd; who left the ninety and nine, and came to earth, and through the truth now brings back the sheep that was lost—which means the lost and scattered tribes of Israel; as Jesus said, My sheep know my voice, and a stranger they will not follow. Therefore, he being the Good Shepherd, and our pattern and waymark, they follow him, and they are brought from a thousand hills, and gathered home. The First and Latter Adam, and Dividing of “Inheritance. 1 Cor. 15, 45-47; Luke 15-12. THE parable of the Good Samaritan, and the parable of the prodigal, are similar in the far-reaching lesson which they convey, and but little understood. In order to under- stand them, we must go back to the beginning; for it takes in the two worlds, as I will now proceed to show in brief: ' In the parable of the Good Samaritan, it shows both the first Adam, and the latter. So also does the parable of the prodigal son show both. So two men are spoken of, and the one desired his inheritance to be divided—which was Adam.‘ Therefore by ‘the woman———the dividing medium of the inheritance——Adam transgressed and fell, andwas sepa- rated from the inheritance of the paradisical world-the immortal state; and in the fall, by disobedience, he received the mortal life with the evil, and became subject to vanity and death; and the evil was transmitted to his posterity, (called the inherited evil,) and their sins visited unto the third and fourth generation (or dispensation) of the Lord’s time; when the prodigal will now return by this visitation, ' and come to the Father’s house, and overcome the inherited evil by obedience to the law of Christ; and then it will be taken away. Then will come to passthat scripture .which says, The children shall‘ no more bear the sins of their fore- fathers—because it is to be taken away by the new covenant. Jesus never transgressed at any time his Father’s commands, and therefore never desired his inheritance to be divided; and by inheritance obtained a much more excellent name than the angels. Adam Fell By Transgression, and Desired His Inheritance To Be Divided. Rom. 5-1_4; Luke 15-12, 13. - . ADAM and his posterity wasted their substance with riot- ous living in the fall-—feeding among swine, or the swinish multitude, of which swine is but a ﬁgure. I might say here, Bear in mind that the two sons cover the two worlds. It niiiv be asked, How is Adam the man or son who left his Fathci"s house, and fed among the multitude? It is like this: Adam was the beginning of the fall; and left his Father’s estate of immortal habitation——-like the sons of God spoken of, who left their own habitation and went down in unto the daughters of men, and fell. Adam being the ﬁrst, was called a son. So the lineage traces from the birth of Jesus, the one son of God, to Adam, son of God. Luke 3-38. But Adam fell by transgression, and desired his inheritance to be divided; as he said, Give me my living which falletlz to me. Note this Word fal/etiz/——his living substance being the mortal life, in the fall. Now in appearance, only the two sons. elder and younger, are spoken of. But remember this was 21 parable, and signiﬁed more than one. For notice: He gave them his living, and he gathered all together and took his journey into a far country, etc. Therefore we must em- brace the whole fallen world as one man——the man Adam; he being the beginning. On the other hand, as to the elder, we must consider the new wo_rld—of which Jesus was the begin- ning—and the servants, etc. Rev. 3-14. No prophecy of scripture is of a private interpretation. It applies also to those under the law, and Gentiles without law, who repent and come in as from the dead, having rebelled and left the Father’s house, and are brought back in resurrection. It ' furthermore is again shown in this visitation———the great in- gathering, in which the true prodigal returns; being born in sin, and by nature joined unto the citizens of the land, and wasting their substance in riotous living with harlots, and would fain have eaten of the husks the swine eat—i- 6-, the swinish multitude in Christendom, feeding on husks of the Word, and not the good old corn of the land. ‘And there arose a famine in that land. The spiritual application is a spiritual famine, as it says in another place, A famine not Of SI{ILOH’S MESSENGER OF WISDOM I .bread, nor for thirst of water, but of hearing the Word of the Lord. If They Had Been Mindful of That Country From Whence They Came, They Might Have Returned. Hebrews 11-15. OVV Adam left his Father’s inheritance, and brought sin it was said to Israel of old, If they had been mindful of that country from whence they came, they might have returned —this being the seed handed down from Adam, who was in Eden’s paradise; and if they had been mindful of that c0untry—or the paradisical laws—they might have returned. But the parable still holds good, and is written for us upon whom the end has come. Therefore, now we will have the accomplishment of that parable in the great ingathering now taking place. Israel, as Adam, in the world or Babylon, feeding among swine, shall now arise and come home. The Father seeing him afar off, meets him, and embracesihim with this great truth, which welcomes ,him who receives this great calling in spirit and in truth. He then puts the ring of the covenant on his ﬁnger, and shoes on his feet; (as it is writ- ten, Shod with the preparation of the Gospel of Peace—which denotes understanding;) in which we walk with him, and in his shoes, as he is our pattern and waymark. And it saith of this Second Child who stands up in his stead, (in his shoes, with feet washed by him, clean and white,) How beautiful bringeth good tidings of great joy! Thy son has returned, and is received with great joy; and a robe is put on him—a ﬁgure of the clothing prepared for him. The fatted calf is slain, and there is great rejoicing. These are the prodigal _ by nature, as Adam. In this the time of famine, this visita- tion is given—by which ‘there is the bread of life and plenty in my Father’s house, and plenty for the servants as well, and to spare. Therefore by this message he comesto himself, and arises and returns home; seeking that country from whence he originally came. - In this parable of ‘the prodigal, it must be re- membered there are two points to be considered; and no prophecy is of a private interpretation. So Adam, and the Adamic world (as the son who desired his inheritance to be divided from the immortal state, and the mortal which has been divided by death) and his household will return in resurrection; who was dead and is alive, but have wasted their substance and suffered loss; yet will be brought back with. great rejoicing in resurrection’, by the fatted calf hav- ing been killed (in Jesus) for the sins of the whole world. Jesus was also represented as a sheep; but in° this case the Adamic world which was lost, and in resurrection is found". Had they not been lost, how could they have been found? and made alive who were dead? and, as Paulsaid, All are dead. So in Christ all are made alive—but all in their own order. Now in this you must bear in mind that while it speaks of the one prodigal son, yet it speaks of them as more than one; for it says, He delivered unto them his living (mortal life); and they shall return—all of them in order. Two Nations and Two Manner of People. Genesis 25-23. . THEN again, the immortal life and the incorruptible life must be considered. And while the old world are as one, with their inheritance divided, it says, By the sin of one man, many were made sinners. So by the righteousness of one, who never at any time transgressed, many were made righteous. Yet it must be remembered, he was but the ﬁrst- born among many brethren—sons of God_ yet to be revealed; and not only this, but there are the servants also spoken of. Now it says, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated. In this we see the parable in another of its manifold meanings, as these two nations and twomanner of people also have a different inheritance——the one immortal, and the other mortal, who will live in blood —purificd——for a thousand years, called mount Esau, who is the elder, which Jesus represen-ted while in his ﬂlarml life. These are the elder who complain of the prodigal, who will enter into ‘the Father’s house quickly; who having tasted of the world in all of its misery, will gladly return and do the works; while others of the Esau elass—the elder, will com- plain because they have so wasted their living. And the Father entreats them, saying, Alli have is thine. This far- reaching lesson also goes back into the spiritual realm, among the spirits, in coming to earth to take bodies; for the body is the Father’s house—Know ye riot, ye are the temple; in which he establishes his kingdom. The spirits that never fell, never transgressed,-and had no kid killed, no fatted calf slain for them; for where there is no sin there is no repentance. The Lost Sheep, and the Ninety and Nine. Luke 15, 3-7; Matt. 18-12, 13. ORE, like the parable of the lost sheep, more re- joicing over one who was lost and is found, than over the ninety and nine just who needed no repentance. This parable, like all other parables, is written mainly for the time of the end, when ‘by this visitation all things are to be 3CC0UmCd for; as this is a time of judgment, and a time of gathering in one the family of God. But in a great house there are many materials to build with, and different glories and mansions in my Father’s house. If it were not so, I would have told you. Jesus said, If I go‘ not away, the Comforter cannot come; but if I go, I will send him. There- fore, as my Father sent me into the world, so send I you. and death to his household. So in Adam all die. And- are the feet of him who preaches the Gospel of Peace, and. blood was as the calf slain to bring the redemption of the I ' return A willingly,- because of ' Published at -.

It was ‘because 0 t {ll . rebellion and war in spiritual realm, in which Satan; t C . . ’ . w ' deceiver, was cast out into the earth, and d€CClVCd and die , the third part with his tale. Therefore these at last Hillsi- be redeemed, and all things made right by the blood of Jesusd, which was typiﬁed by the blood of 'animals—-the fatte calf. The ninety and nine remained in the spirit fold; and did not fall. They did not go astray with Siltilﬂi the great wolf. The disciples, who were sent out as lambs among wolves, brought the Gentiles into the knowledge of the soul salvation, who will return in resurrection, and judgment will set; and blessed are they who have part in the first resurrec- tion, for on such the second death hath no power.- Rev. ‘ 2o-6. But the rest of the dead live not again till thollsilnd years are expired._ Rev._ 20-5. Then the deceiver and the deceived will be brought faceito face, and the whole matter settled up, and the kingdom turned over to God, the F athera -and God will be all and in all. The reason for this is because all power both in heaven and in earth was given into the hands bf Christ Jesus, to subdue, and put down all Othcf power, rule and authority. He ciime from God and was sent on a mission to seek and to save that which was lost. H et he said‘, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the.house of Israel. 1 Have Other Sheep Not of This Fold, and 1 hp Give Unto Them Eternal Life. John 1'0-28. THIS embraces another ﬁeld and another fold; as He said, _ _ I have other sheep not of this fold—not of the fold‘ just alluded to——_not of the sheep who 'were deceived by , Satan; but this other -fold is the lost sheep of the house of V Israel—the one sheep (i44,ooo as one fold) out -on the mountains, scattered upon a thousand hills, to be found and'_* brought home safe to the fold. He speaks, saying, I have,‘, other sheep not of this fold, and I give pnto them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall any man pluck them out of my hands. John 10-28. They will now ‘be found by that Spirit of trut.h—that ot}zez~Comforte'r which the world cannot receive. In the true a_-nd deeper interpre- tation of the parables, it means,the lost tribes or sheep of the house of Israel; being once in the wilderness, scattered and gone astray among the Gentiles. Therefore he sends his messengers now, as lambs among wolves, to seek and bring home the sheep that are scattered and lost; for the promise is, I will gather them one by one, and take them one of a city and two of a‘ family, and bring them to Zion, and keep them as a shepherd keepeth his ﬂock.

Therefore it is written, Blessed and holy is he who {waiteth and cometh to the 1,335 days; (Dan. 12-12;) the seed of Israel having been scattered, to be gathe_red unto ‘Shiloh in this the time of the end. Genesis 49-10. _ ‘There- fore this great spirit of truth has been given by seven angels or messengers to the children of Israel, unsealing the great mysteries of godliness, God manifest in the ﬂesh, (1 Tim. 3-16,) and we are happy to tell you we have the writings of the seven, and the Seventh shall ﬁnish the mystery, as declared to his servants, the prophets. Rev. 10-7. It must be remembered that the Revelation of John is ‘for, the time of the end, the time in which we . are now liv- »ing,' therefore it is, like most all sealed scriptures, hard to . beunderstood. Notwithstanding there is noparable to Israel ~ ‘now, for we are living in the time that he will‘ no more speak in proverbs and parables but show you plainly of the .Father, (John 16-25,) by that Spirit of truth which was to come, to lead and ‘guide you in theway of all truth and Show you things to come. John 16-13. And by this Spirit of truth you can see plainly the mystery of the redemption of the body, (Hosea 13-14,) then be led on step by’ step up Into the templeof wisdom, (Eph. 4-13,) showing forth the whole mystery as declared to his servants, little by little, asiyou can receive it; (St. Johh 16-12;) -as Jesus said, I have many things to say unto you, but youvcannot bear them ' now——,which shows you must be prepared to receive the deep mysteries of the kingdom of God. . The 144,000 Stand Without Fault Before the -' - Throne of God. Rev.. 14-4, 5.‘ ’ it is necessary first-to see that the life of the body without death can be attained unto according to _, 'the-scriptures. Therefore we are to study to show ourselves " approved unto God a workman that needeth not, to be a- shamed, rightly dividing the word of ‘truth; (2 Tim. 2-15;) leaving the first principles of the -doctrine of Christ and go onto perfection; (Heb. 6-1;) which is for the life of the ' body-—-—n0t that wercan attain unto perfection all at once, for “ a child is not formed in its mother’s womb. all at once; neither .do the fruits of the ﬁeld come,to-pcrfectionall-at once, but ' there must‘ be a steady growth. And-there is something for , us to do that we may arrive unto the. full stature of the -man, Jesus Christ, as it is written, Be ye perfect, even as < your.Father which is in heaven is perfect. Matt. 5-48. ' And it is written of the 144,000 sons of God, that_they stand without fault before the throne of God, (Rev. 14-5,) "calling those things that be not as though they were, (Rom. ,4-17,‘) speaking of them in this the time of the manifestation of the sons of God, (Rom. 8-19,) who came to perfection, by keeping the commandments of God and having the faith of Jesus Christ, (Rev. 14-12,) as they sing the song of Moses and the Lamb; and no one can sing that song but the 144,000. These are virgins; these follow the Lamb whithersoever he leadeth. Rev. 14-4. They keep the com- mandments of God and_ have the faith of Jesus, therefore they will have nothing to repent of; and to them the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. Rom. 11-2,9. Repentance shall be hid from his eyes, because they keep his laws of righteousness. Therefore Jesus said, The works ' that I do shall they do also, because I go to my Father. John 14-12. But remember he also said;"If I go away I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I -2111, there ye'shall be also, (John 14-3,),—WhiCh shall be up. on this earth, for the meek shall inherit the earth, and he * , shall reign with them upon the earth; (Rev. 5-10;) for it is written, The kingdoms of this world shall become the king- domsof our Lord and of- his Christ. Rev. 11-15. There- fore you can plainly see that he is coming’ to establish his _ kingdom upon earth. The Children Shall No A More Bear the Iniquity of the Fathers. Ezek. 18-20. SOME think that this earth is to be destroyed, but this shows to" the contrary; and it is written, One generation passeth away and -another cometh, and the earth abideth I ' for ever, (Eccl. 1-4,)—notwithstanding it must, be puriﬁed and made anew. It shall return back to its Eden state and bring forth seven-fold; andjnstead of the brier shall grow the myrtle tree, and the desert shall bloom in roses, and the knowledge of God shall cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. Isa. 11-9. There shall be a universal peace on earth and good will to men And at that day_ the children shall [bear no more the iniquity of their fathers, (Ezek. ' and fell; therefore he multiplied in the evil and brought .eousness——the children of the sons of God being trees of 18-20,) because Israel must be regenerated and made whole for the mighty God of (Jacob to dwell in, then being made immortal; and not till then, shall they fulﬁll the command that Adam failed to do which was to multiply and replen- ish the earth with good fruit. First subdue—which Adam did not do, but to the con- trariwise, for in disobedience he allowed evil to subdue him forth aworld of sin and death; as it is written, Through one man’s sin death entered the world, and so death passed upon all because all have sinned. Rom. 5-12. . Therefore Israel must now overcome that sin through obedience to the Word of God, and not die. Gal. 6-8. As Jesus Christ, the latter Adam, said, I am that living bread which com- eth down from heaven that a man may eat thereof and not die. John 6-50. ' The ﬂesh proﬁteth nothing except it be quickened by the spirit; (John 6-63;) ‘but the latter Adam is a quick- ening spirit, the Lord from heaven, (1 Cor. 15, 45-47,) to quicken the ﬂesh, that we might become bone of his bone, and flesh of his ‘ﬂesh, (Gen. 2-23,)—-our vile bodies being changed and fashioned like unto his glorious body. Phil. 3-21. Therefore Christ,‘ being a ‘quickening spirit, the Lord from heaven, Jesus by the spirit of God said, I am that liv- ing bread that cometh down from heaven that a man may eat thereof and live for ever; (John 6-51 ;) and it was to this end that Jesus said, If a man keep my sayings he shall never see death, (John 8-51,)———which is life and immortality brought to light through the gospel. 2 Tim. 1-10. The sum and substance of the whole scriptures and the laws of God is for the life of the body, that man may be made in the image of God——God manifest in the ﬂesh, as shown by and in Jesus, whose body saw not corruption; (Acts 2-31 ;) there- fore it became the temple of God, the spirit of God mani- fest in the ﬂesh——the quickening spirit put within the temple of ﬂesh and bone; therefore he was called the latter Adam. 1 Cor. 15-45. And_we shall be like him when he comes to claim his bride, (1 John 3-2,)—bone of his bone and ﬂesh of his ﬂesh. i Whosoever Will May Come and Partake of the Water of Life Freely. Rev. 22-17. AFTER this great redemption of spirit, soul and body, made immortal at the sound of this last trump, they will replenish and fill the earth with the fruits of right- righteousness, the planting of the Lord. Isa. 61-3. sAnd the knowledge of God shall then cover the earth as the waters cover the sea, and their lives shall be as that of a tree; (Isa. 65-22;)-because as the life of God is in the parents so also it shall be in their children, during the great mil- lennial sabbath of rest. And it shall no more be said that they shall build houses and others inhabit them, and plant vineyards, and others eat the fruit, but they’ shall build houses, and plant vineyards and eat the fruit thereof, and inhabit‘ their houses and dwell in safety, and nothing shall harm nor hurt in all my holy mountain, saith‘ the Lord. Isa. 65-25. . The wolf shall lie down with the lamb, and the lion shall eat straw like an ox, and a little child shall lead them; (Isa. 11-7;) and-the child will play with its hand over the . cockatrice’ den; and nothing shall hurt them, for Satan shall be bound from the whole creation one thousand years, and there shall "be no more death, (Rev: 21-4,) and every- thing will be brought to perfection. Therefore why will ye die, 0 house of Israel? Ezek. 18-31. I will the death of none. But Jesus said, Ye will not come unto me that ye might have life. Nevertheless my sheepiknow my voice and a stranger they will not follow. John 10-4', 5. Therefore the voice of God is now heard calling, and the Spirit says, Come! and the bride says, Come! and whosoever will may come and partake of the water of life freely. Rev. 22-17. And the words I speak unto you, they . are spirit and they are life. John 6-63. IMPORTANT NOTICE! OWING to the desire of many to come to the House of David faster than we are able to build and prepare places for them, we wish it understood by all such, that in order to save us and themselves much unnecessary‘ trouble, they should correspond with us before making arrangements to come. It is absolutely necessary that each and every case be given due consideration, and the applicant await for the call to come home, as there must be order in the Lord’s house. Furthermore we wish it understood that any and all families or individuals desiring to come should pay their own way, and should not pay any one else’s way. Let every one take care of their own affairs individually. Therefore we will not be responsible in paying them away. ISRAELITE HOUSE OF DAVID, BENTON HARBOR, MICH., U. I. A.

And one of the disciples was a devil, for Jesus says in St. John 6-70, 71 : Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon; for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve. There was one devil in twelve——-Judas. And he was not up in the air as you said; but he was here, walking up and down in the earth. And we have many more of them here today on earth raising hell amongst us. At this the crowd, or many in. the crowd said, This is the scriptures; and one man stepped forward and handed me a silver dollar, and said, I give you this for preaching the truth. Then we handed him a paper and LITTLE BOOK, which he was surprised to re- ceive, but he accepted it thankfully and went off very much , pleased. _ In our afternoon meeting as we were showing what the devil was, and showed that Jesus cast seven devils out of Mary Magdalene, a man called out and said, “There is only‘ one devil; it was demons he cast out, not devils.” I said, “You said there’ is onlyone devil. I can show you different places in the-bible where it spells d-e-v-i-l-s. wrong—you or the Word of God? The Word of God says, Jesus cast seven zievilx out of Mary Magdalene; (Luke 8-2;) but you say it is not so. But we believe the scripture which says, Let God be true, and every man a liar. And in Matt. 8-28 it speaks of two men meeting Jesus who were pos- sessed with dei.'z'lI. Many other places likewise it speaks of devils. And, according to Jesus’ own words, one of the disciples was a devil also. He interrupted again, and said, “That was a demon; for there is only one devil, which is that old serpent, called the devil and satan.” I said, You say only one serpent? He said, Yes. Then I asked, What are ' you going to do with what Jesus said to those ﬁghting him‘? Did he not say, “Ye generation of vipers! Ye'_rerpemf.r‘.3” Notice, ‘it says, “Serpents.” Notice this has an “s” at the end- —,-showing more than one; yet you say there is only one. Who lied—the scripture or you? Then he called out, That scrip- ture was -translated wrong. At this the crowd turned him down from every side. . I ‘then showed that the Deity was male and female. But this he denied and said it was not so. I then quoted Genesis 1-26: “Come, let us make man in our image and after our likeness; so God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” Which shows that God is male and female. I also quoted Gal. 4-26, which says, Jerusalem which is above isfree, which is the Mother of us all. .Also, I saw the Holy City, new Jerusalem coming down, prepared as a bride for her husbarid. Well, he said, That has reference to a city. Then I said,‘ The woman is called a city. The woman that thou sawest is that great city, according to Rev. 17-18. But Jerusalem was seen coming down, prepared as a bride for her h“5b3nd- well. who is her husband‘? he asked. I said, Christ is her husband. It is also written in Jer. 23-6: In his ' days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS; and in Jer. 33-16: In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely; and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. So here again we see both male and female are 5P°k€n 0f- And in,Rev. 21-9, There came unto me one of the seven angels, which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither and I will show thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife. And in Rev. 22-17 it IS written, And the Spirit and the bride say, _C0m€- 50 We have any amount of scriptural proof that there is a female part to the Godhead. Will close for this time.

INFORMATION AND LITERATURE. 193 MOORABOOL STREET, GEELONG, VICTORIA. Make money Orders payable to House of_ David, Concord P. 0., N. S. W. Melboume, Australia. SINCE last writing we have finished South Australia. Leaving Mt. Gambier, I cycled overland to Ballarat, a distance of 220 miles, then took the train for Melbourne, where I joined the brothers and sisters who are working in ‘Melbourne. There is a big field of work to be done in Victoria. Truly, as it says, The harvest is great, but the lab- orers are few. So we rejoice in our labors of love. And as the time is going on, trouble is thickening up, and the_ world ' is getting worse and worse, and taking no heed to the warning that is DOW being prCIlCh€d—just_ the same as it was in the days of Noah. They onlylaughed and mocked when Noah warned them of the ﬂood. So it is today: Some argue the day of mercy away; while others mock and laugh, as it is written there would be mockers in the last days, and men would be proud and bo°astful, and lovers of pleasure more 'than lovers of God, and evil would increase upon the face of the earth; and there would be a time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation, and affliction such as was not since the beginning of the world. So many people ask us what do we think of the trouble that is on the earth today. I tell. them that this is the trouble spoken of in the‘ bible, as Jesus said, The world would wax worse and worse, and because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. They say, It is dreadful! Yes, I have to say, but God is pointing out a way of escape. God is pleading with all flesh, and showing us how to live. But it says, He will not always'strive with man; and David said, Today if you will hear my voice, harden not your heart; for he that being often repi-oved, hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. Prov. 29-1. So it is written, God willeth not the death oflany man, but would that all men come unto him, and live; for the wages of sin is death. Rom. 6-23. .But in the way of righteousness is life, and in the pathway thereof there is no death; (Prov. 12-28;) and though thousands, fall by thy‘ side, and ten thousand at your right side, it will not come near thee, for it says, Keep my law, and thou shalt live; for the command- ment is a.lamp and the law is light, and reproof of in- struction are the way of life. Prov. 6-23. Jesus said, I am the way, the truth and the life; if a man keep my _ sayings he shall never see death. John 8-51. So there is a way of escape, just as there was in the days of Noah and Lot, ’ if we will only take warning in time, and turn away from our ‘wickedness; as it says, If a wicked man turn away from his wickedness that he has committed, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live and not die. Ezek. 18-21. For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord; therefore turn yourselves and live ye. Ezek. 18-32. Many say, They believe the bible is being fulﬁlled, as it speaks of all this trouble and perplexity Of.I1?ltlOI'lS, great iuen’s. hearts failing them for fear of those things that are coming on the earth. Luke 21-26. Some say, they believe that Christ will soon come again now. V\Ie‘say, Yes, the second coming is the greatest truth of the bible. They say, VVhen do you think he will come‘? Well, we say, to understand the second coming we must understand the first coming, because it says, The thing that has b€€ﬂ»_15 the thing that shall be, and God requires-the thing that ~15 past. Eccles, i-9. So now, what was it that blinded the Jews in the first coming? And as the Jews rejected the,first coming, The first i ’ . coming was to :1 man who grew up among them in a poor, way. It says, there was no beauty about him hoiild desire him. He took the form of a ser- vant and worked at his trade, till Christ the spirit of God rested upon him at the river Jordan, whenhe was_about thin.

Isa. 38-18. And that truth is the life of the body, soul and spirit—the iriore abundant life—more than the soul salvation; as Jesus said, I am the resurrection and the life—the resurrection of those who believe for the soul salvation, and the way of life for those who will follow him, as he is our pattern and waymark, and our guide, and he said, Follow thou me! I am the way, the truth, and the life; and if a man drink of the water that I shall give, it shall be in him a well of living water springing up into everlasting life. One day a man said to me, it was all nonsense talking about God and the bible. He wanted to know where God came from. I said, The scripture says, God came from T eman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. I-Iab. 3-9,. He started to ridicule the bible. So I said, You would show more sense if you tried to understand the things you see around you, instead of wanting to know where God came from. Why it is absolutely ridiculous, saying there is no God, when we see the creation all around us! ‘How could we have a creation without a Creator‘? Hesaid' that Jesus Christ did not know half as much about science as _ a school boy. I- said, That is all you know about it. You cannot prove anything, you can only make a statement—like your science falsely so-called. Paul refers to this science you speak of, which you seem to believe before the Word of God, when he said, Avoid profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of Jcieme falsely 50-called. A fool has said in his heart, There is no God. Psa. 14-1. So I know it is true, when I see it fulﬁlled. You say you don’t believe this and that; but it is not what you say or what anyone else says, but it is what the Word of God says. He said it was only written by man. Yes, I said, Written by man, but given by inspiration of God. Why, I said, the’_way you talk you would be no nearer the mark if you were to talk for a thousand years——wanting to know where God came from, etc., when you hardly know which end you stand on; but if you get down. to common sense, and view all things through the.Word of God, then you will know something, and know the cause of all things, as there is no effect without a. cause. So we meet many people who fulﬁll scripture that is described in God’s Word, so we know the Word is true, as it says, Thy Word is truth; and if the‘ truth sets you free, you shall be free indeed—free from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. Rom. 8-21. ‘- . Weremain thine for the establishnierit of God’s king- CONCERNING THE GREAT work or TIIE g(ii_lTllERING_. we simply set ‘forth the plain scriptures ‘showing forth life eternal, and ingathering and restoration of the elect semi of Israel, and spirits of the just. Israel's literature and preaching is given persuasion in any way, that all and each and every individual might consider it according to their own will and according to their own mind, according to the constitution of America, that each and every person ‘may worship according to the dictates of their own conscience; and that according to our faith, ourpreaching and teaching must be supported by the scriptures. And with it our entreaties are to the sound mind, and do not attempt therefore lo excite or work on feelings, but by faith according to knowledge; for witliout faith, it is impossible to please God; and that which is not of faith is sin. Romans ii-23. Weﬂelieve in all being fully persuaded in their ‘own mind, and prove all l.hings—which feelings, excitement or persuasion cannot do. And we furthermore know, those who are not thoroughly established by faith according to knowledge cannot stand. Therefore we discourage ralher than encourage, pertaining, to their coming into the,ingathering— _ and like Jesus with the persistent woman, tried to keep her back from following; and with the man who wanted to follow, to whom he said, The foxes have holes and the birds have nests, but the Son of man has no place to lay his hcadl— which was the condition of this Messenger, the True Stranger, for many years before the ingathering began. Yet no scripture is of (1 private interpretation. He having no place to lay his head, signifies, he nor his teaching was received by the natural world, as man by nature‘ cannot find out the things or Grad; and the world loves its own. Jesus did have a place to lay his head naturally or physically. When some of the disciples saw him, and believed, they asked, Where do you live‘! And Jesus said,-Come and seel—showing he had a. place. John 1-39. But when he travelled, and like Israelite preachers today who follow him and Preach his 8051381 Of grace and truth, are not received in a general way. However‘, let us get back to the main issue of what we wish to '60nV€.V. which I51 This 8051791 of the kingdom must be preached, which is to be put within man, rendering him immortal; as this mortal must put on immortality at the sound of this seventh and last trump: for when he begins to sound. the mystery shall be finished. Rev. l0-'7. And my sheep know my voice, and a stranger they will not follow-—this being the voice of the True Stranger. Jesus the True Shepherd said, The that the true sheep of the house of Israel know the voice, and need no persuasion. for it is written, I will have a willing people in the day of my power. Psa. ii0—3. For how can a man come unto me except the Father who sent me draw him‘! John 6.“, Knowing this rule of faith, v A true Israelite will not do it.

Notwithstanding the Park Springs of Eden is a private park, and itssincon-ie belongs to the commonwealth of Israel. The preachers sent out by the Hguse of David are forbidden to ask any one to come to the House of David, or induce or persuade ‘ in, any manner. They are instructed to simply preach the word of God rightly divided, and-leave it with them. This work of'lngather-Eng, is preparatory to the establishment of the kingdom of God on earth In peace and in righteousness; and “before coming to the ingathering I. understandits purposes according to the scriptures, and that all I possess is to be turned into the commonwealth for the work, nndto ye used for the work of ingathering, nor to ever hereafter set up any’ personalclaim regarding it. » ' In this visitation, during the time of the sounding seven‘ angel messengers, it has ever been understood that there was to be no ‘ persuasion whatever; but under the foregoing messengers rather discourage, chieﬂy because it was not the time for Ingathering under l.lieir'ministry, as their publications show clear"and plain that ‘tho. gathering was not to take place until the Seventh Angel Messenger began to sound. Notwithstanding even now, under ‘this message, it is strictly against our faith and gospel rule to use any peigsunsio‘ in any manner whatsoever, or hold out inducements unduly,’ outside of scripture teaching, for many reasons, knowing this ingatheringis for preparation by this visitation, and the cleansing fountain; as all are born in sin by nature, and therefore nothing can remain except by faith proven by works, as gold is tried in the‘ fire, and reﬁned as silver. Zech , 1379. And as he is spoken of as a great Shepherd, separating the sheep from the goats,-therefore this instrument or article will begin its work ' informing each and'every one that this step for-entering this ingatherlng must be by faith, separately and individually, wholly by understanding. and that of themselves, and not by another encouraging or discouraging. These seeing this great faith through thepword need no encouraging or di§COUl‘a§in%— Why would. we take pleasure in unbelief, coming and going, making trouble unnecessarily, both. for themselves and others? Therefore we give no place for unbellef, for without faith it is impossible _to please God.

THE ‘ JUST ARE THE SEED TO WHOM THE ' PROMISE WAS MADE. ‘ Galatians 3-19. as we have taken up a few brief points of parables, e wish now to bring forward the first parable, ned‘unto the kingdom of heaven. A man sowed good in his-ﬁeld, and while men slept, his enemy came and _ tares, and went his way. The blade sprang up, and t..C7=1Ihe‘ on. Tares appeared; and the question arose, whence came the tares.?, Shall we gather up the tares? Let" them grow together till harvest, lest in gathering V e tares, you.pull‘ up the wheat also; and in time of west I_will "send my reapers andgather the tares first, , ind them in bundles and burn them; and gather the _ _ into the barn. This parable, like others, is far reach- 'as it begins with Adam and Eve, and the devil, and ids ‘in the time of thegreat harvest—in this the day. of sitation. Good seed was sown at first, as it says of Adam, _planted‘thee a noble ‘inc, wholly a right seed ; how art pu turned into a degenerate plant of a strange vine‘? vThe__d_evil ‘was the enemy who seduced Eve and sowed res—she‘” being the temporal ﬁeld. And she gave unto Adam, and’ he did eat; and- the tares from the serpent-beast were inoculated into Adam, which proved his fall; before which, a deep sleep fell on Adam, and while he slept, the! enemy entered‘th_e gardeii and sowed the tares. So Jesus, who spoke this parable, looking down to this the time of the ' nd and harvest by this visitation, (knowing all were writ- ‘ten for »us ‘upon whom the end has coine,) said, Let the ares growvtogether withithe wheat.- This means, the darnic evil in the blood; by which children are born in sin ndishapcn’in iniquity, with the tares inherited and ‘visited upon,’ the children till this thethird da-y‘or dispensation; hen in this time-of visitation he would send his messengers gather both‘ the tares and wheat; .but will separate and , urn the tares; as he saith in another place, I will cleanse ir blood that I have not cleansed. He will thoroughly urge his floor, and gather ‘his wheat into his barn. The’ ,is-Ngreat, and laborers. few.

And did not Jesus say, Watch, lest e'_ thief enter the house, and spoil the goods, and break up Le" house‘?-. and, He that defileth the temple, him will God‘ estroy? ‘The last ENEMY that. shall be destroyed is ich came by the devil—who played the devil in and has been from that day; to this.

And it is furthermore written, The axe llaid at the root of the tree; and every tree that bringeth 'o_t forth , good _fruit shall be cut down and cast into the ﬁre. .us also cumed the ﬁg tree, and it withered.‘ The _first erpretation may be considered as the three dispensations, idifthe fourth lapping into this the third day of visitation; econdly: These three watches of this visitation in which he as been seeking fruit and ﬁnding none. And in this the fourth, fruit will be found; and everytree that brings forth ' good fruit shall be cut down. »— . . And so it says again: Learn a parable of the fig tree: hen‘her branches areyet tender, and putteth forth leaves, know Summer is nigh (and harvest is coming on);.so hen "ye see these things coming to pass as foretold by him, tlieitime is near, even at your doors.

WISDOM 'and.the refreshing showers from the presence of our Lord and his Christ for this visitation and time of the end. Except You See the Life of the Body, You Could Not Understand These Parables. Matthew 13-11; _Rev. 10-7. HE put forth another parable, like unto some of the above parables; but showing different conditions of seed sowing, harvest, and time of reaping. A sower went forth to sow seed, and some fell by the way side; and the fowls ‘came and devoured them up. Some fell in stony places where there was not much earth,’ and forthwith they sprang up because there was not much deepness of earth; and when the sun was up they were scorched; and because they had no root they withered away. Some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked them. ‘Others fell on good ground and brought’ forth fruit—some an hundred-fold, some sixty, and some thirty-fold. This, like other parables, cannot be understood except by this visitation of the Spirit of truth, which is to unseal the mysteries in this the time of the end. Otherwise, why did He speak in parables, and promise the Spirit of ‘truth to interpret‘? The mysteries of the and by this visitation of the Spirit of truth,’ that other Comforter opens up the mysteries of the life of the body— the kingdom of God in immortality, in the bodies of men- \ ' C n 9 9 99‘99’99'99‘99’99:99:99:99:99:99:99:9 9'9 9 ‘CI 999099 0 O 9 99:99 4 9 9"’9 9 9 ‘V5.9’. i ’ l 6 99,99 9 y.

The scripture says, The legs of the lame are not equal; so is a parable in the mouth of fools; (Prov. 26-7;) and it also says, Fools die for want of wisdom. They’ Brought Forth Fruit——Some An Hundred-fold, Some. Sixty-fold, and Some‘ Thirty-fold. Matt. 13-23. —PARABLES must be understood by wisdom and in the light of the living. Therefore it continues to say, When any one lieareth the VVord of the kingdom and understandeth it not, then the wicked one catcheth away that which was sown in the heart (the Word of life, which is the seed of immortal life). This is he that receiveth seed by the way- side. But he that receiveth seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the Word, and anon with joy receiveth it; yet hath no root in himself, but endureth for a while; but when tribulation and persecution ariseth because of ’ the Word, by and by he is offended. He also that receiveth seed among thorns, is he that heareth the VVord, and the cares of this world and the dcceitfulness of riches ‘choke the VVord,, and he becometh unfruitful. But he that receiveth seed in good ground, is he that heareth the Word and understandeth , , uliiii - Benton Hui-no Ml —-ijj .4 it, and ‘which also beareth fruit-— sixty, some thirty-fold, etc.; which springs up in this:Yisr’ tion——ﬁrst the blade, then the stalk, and then the full com. But the seed by the wayside is gathered up by fowls_'- which signiﬁes evil spirits of death; and as Paul said, Many spirits have gone out into ‘the world. , spirits to see if they are of God or not. 1. John 4-1’. The sun which ariseth is the visitation of life and immortality-"A the glory of the sun, which will_bring forth an hundred-fold to His elect. This light becomes so great, it scorches and withers the seed that has no dcepness of earth. The sixty- fold is the aliens of mount Esau, which shall be beautiful in that day; of which we have already explained. Mark! The seed—being the VVord of God which must be made alive— is sown in the ground, called earth; which is the bodies of men. It is also written in another place: Hear the words of the Lord, 0 earth, earth, earth! This being spoken three’ times, signiﬁes the same alluded to in the parable"--three classes of earth; which brings forth, some an hundred-fold, some sixty, some thirty. The thirty-fold is the strangers, who shall stand and feed your ﬂocks. The aliens shall be your plowinen and‘ vinedressers; and sign to serve in the kingdom of God. Some may ask, Does this stranger class hear the Word‘? Truly; at some time. If not before, they will hear it from the elect, after they come out of their hiding places; as it speaks of the two classes who will ﬁnd hiding ‘ of judgment, and come out and seek Israel, saying, Let us be called by thy name, and take away our reproach; and we will serve, and eat our o’wnibread, and wear our own apparel, etc. Israel will grant it to them,_ and by this they will live a thousand years. Therefore they will hear the sword “Live.” And now, in this great ingathering and time of harvest, Isra'el—the seed to whom the promise was madc—— will hear the iVIaster’s voice through the sound of this trumpet of God; and as it says, The Lord himself, shall descend with the voice of an archangel, and with the trump of God,;and the dead in Christ shall arise ﬁrst—bcing dead -to the sleep and sin of Adam; and they who are in Christ‘ shall arise from Adam’s sleep; and those who are alive and remain (that is, the aliens) shall be caught up (in this visitation) in their time and order. - Sown In Weakness, Raised In Power. .- 1 Corinthians 15-43.. . UT while we read these bfief statenieiits of scripture, we. must not forget the times and season§ of this trump of God, by this Archangel—tlie Seventh Angel, and last trump. We lT11.1St,2'llS0 remember the preparation; and _while his reward is with him,_reiiieinber his work is before him. ~ This seed is the one seed—even Christ; and the‘Word was with God and was God, which was sown, and took upon itself ﬂesh in Jesus the firstborn. His time‘ -was about 33 years. As to seed sowing, it is of no private interpretation; as the spirits of the just, from Christ, were sown -from the hand of the great sower, and fell in earth and in good ground— being the spirits of the just, who canie to earth to minister to bodies which were conceived by 21 law which rendered them good ground, or earth; yet sown in weakness, as they were conceived in sin, and with the Adamic evil—to be taken away by this visitation, and by overcoming as Jesus overcame; and so raised in power into an immortal life, as Paul said, This mortal shall put’ on immortality at the sound _ _ of the last trump. This, like the parable of the Good Samaritan, takes in the fall and rise of man pertaining to the body; as the first curse by the original sin was upon the ‘ body, which was to. ret'urn to the dust because of sin. This curse was not concerning the 1 soul, nor‘ was the soul taken from ¢r.—..— *1 the dust, that it should return etc. ‘mg; LISTEN ['1' appears from some correspondence, information has been received that there have been some bogus workers pretending to be in connection with the House of David, duping whomsoever they can.

Therefore as.Paul said, As many as are baptized into Jesus Christ are baptized into his death; and if we are planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resur- rection—he having been seed to the sower, and bread to the eater; (Isa. 55-10;)‘ and said, I am that bread from heaven, that a man may eat thereof and not die; and the one seed. Therefore, speaking of his own death and resurrection, he said, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone. John 12-24. The blood he possessed was that which came by the fall of the first Adam, he having taken not the nature of angels, but the seed of Abraham; made a little lower than the angels——j which was the mortal blood that he gave up. which was a dcath—scparation of the blood from the soul and body. And so it is written, He poured out his soul unto dcath— which was the water soul life that flowed from his side. separated from the blood; and that it might be quickened and bring forth after its own kind. and not abide alone. And so he said. All souls are mine. He redeemed them that they might be raised ‘through him, he being the resurrection and the life—brcad to the carer and seed to. the sower; and that the reaper might overtake the sower, and both rejoice together. And therefore according to the pnmble of the seed sower: it shows the VVord to be the seed. .\'otwithstanding, the seed fell into different conditions of earth. and brings forth, some thirty, some sixty, some one hundred-fold; Jesus the firstborn of these his brethren, his elect, and the firstfruits of them that slept. In Adam All Die, But In Christ Shall All Be Made Alive, But ‘Every Man In His Own Order. 1 Cor. 15-22, 23. O']‘\VITHSTANDlNG, since the fall of Adam by transgression, all sleep in Adam. A deep sleep fell up- on Adam. and the Adamic world sleep in him till awakened 1,). ,1“. nmnpgt of God in this visitation. and in resurrection. ~ 9.. hrist all shall be made alive— So in Adam all die- _ , _ Now it IS plain to be but every man in ROMANS 8-11. seen there are two different kingdoms here, and two differ- ent worlds; and to remain in Adam is to die, but to get out of Adam into Christ is to live. To die is gain, but to live is Christ. — Now then how is it that some will claim Christ is in them and still claim death‘? This shows they are in Adam and not Christ, for .in Adam all die—or all in Adam die ; . but if in Christ, are made alive. alive, and no death in him. They who remain sleeping in Adam, die; but they who sleep in Jesus will be awakened and be quick- ened. And so it is written, The first man Adam is of the earth, earthy. And through the sin of one man (Adam) deaflz came; but the latter Adam is a qzzic/caning spirit, the Lord from heaven. So through the righteousness of one man many are made righteous. Therefore if by the sin of one._ death came, and passed upon all who have -sinned, it is sure that if you are among the many who are made righteous you will live and not die, for how could you reap the wages of sin through righteousness? God forbid! Christ, a quickening spirit, quickens your mortal body by his spirit‘— and this is the life of the body. Michael Raised the Soul; Christ, the Spirit of God, Raised the Body. Rom. 8-‘ll. O\\’ how can it be gain to die? Because they gain the soul salvation—a free gift Without works. But to /ice is Christ. Now if to live is Christ. why would you die‘? Is not Christ the greater‘?—for he is all and in all, Jesus being the firsttruits of them that sleep in Jesus, if we are planted together in the likeneir of his death, we shall be also in theglikeness of his resurrection; and he died that we might live, for he came to abolish death, and to destroy him who had power or death, which is the devil. Now then. God made not death, and willeth not the death of any man; and this being the fact, it is clear, and proves what it says, that the devil has power of death; this is his power. Now then, Christ has power of life; and if he abolishes death in you. or for you, and destroys the devil, who has power of death over you, how then could you die‘; So it is written, So all in'Christ are made To be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded_ is life and peace. T must be remembered, “If we are planted together in the likeness of his death,” signifies to be cruciﬁed with him—— crucify the old man of sin with its affections and lusw, '(the old man Adam of death,) that the body of sin might be ' destroyed; and if the body of sin is destroyed, how then could you die, and reap the wages of sin——death? Now to crucify the old man of sin, and to be crucified with him, is the lz‘/aenerr of his death; and so also will be raised the likeness of his resurrection——death no more. It hath no more dominion over us. Therefore let not sin reign in your mortal body, for this mortal must put on immortality. And so if the spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, then the spirit of him that raised up Christ from the dead shall quicken your mortal body by his spirit that dwelleth in you—after the blood is taken away; Jesus being the pattern and waymark. Michael, his spirit, raised and quickened the water, soul life, forming the likeness; and afterwards Christ, the spirit of God, raised the body} and taking in the whole, we have the likeness and image of God. Therefore, «Michael, with the soul, showed the like-. ness, when he said, “Touch me not!” ~And Christ raised the body, and said, Touch me!—or rather, Reach hither thy hand and feel, for a spirit hath not ﬂesh and bone as you see me have. Luke 2439. Therefore Michael, with the soul, spiritual body, or likeness, was the ﬁrstfruits; and Christ, the life of the terrestrial immortal body of flesh and bone. And we shall be like him—the ﬁrstfruit and firstborn of many brethren, who will do the works that he did, and greater works will they do; and when this corrupt. ible shall have put on incorruption, this mortal shall have put on immortality. 1 Cor. 15-54. Our (once) vile bodies shall be changed and fashioned like unto his glorious body. In the image and likeness created he him; male and female created he them.

ICONCERNING THE GREAT WORK ‘ or * THE _11g;_.ln{ER11ve. . ‘E wish to make it known to all, that in all of our publications _we simply .set forth the plain scriptures showing forth life U /eternal, and ingathering and restoration of the elect seed of Israel, .ari_d spirits of the just. Israel's literature and preaching is given ~out to the public in general; and as teaching and preaching without I persiiasion in‘ any way, that all and each and every individual might consider it according to their own will and according to their own mind, according to the constitution of America, that each and every person may worship according to the dictates of their own conscience; and that according _to our faith, our preaching and teaching must be supported by the scriptures. And with it our entreaties are to the sound mind, and do not attempt therefore to excite or work.on feelings, but by faith according to knowledge; for without faith, it is impossible to please’ God; and that which is not of faith is sin. Romans 14-23. We believe in all being fully persuaded in their own mind, and provehll tl1ings—which feelings, excitement or, persuasion cannot do. d_ we furthermore know,\ those whoare not thoroughly established IMnﬁiiilﬂzlheira@‘?l!!l1‘Eirl!“° AM: méaihe£inS— a eep them ‘back; and like,Jesus_ 'th the persistentﬂiwoman, tried to keep her back from following; and with the who wanted to follow, ‘to whom he said. The foxes have holes and irds have nests, but the Son of man has no place to lay his hcadl—— which was the conditionpf this Messenger, the True Stranger, for many years before the lngathering began. Yet no scripture is of a private interpretation. He having no'place to lay his head, signifies, he nor his teaching was received by the natural world, as men by nature cannot find out the things of God; and the world loves its own. ‘Jesus did have ,n.place to lay his head naturally or physically. When some of the disciples saw him, and believed, they asked,'Where do you live? And Jcsm'said, Come and seei—showing he had a place. John i-39. But when he travelled, and like Israelite preachers today who follow him and preach his gospel of grace and truth, are not received in a general way.

For how can a man come unto me except the other who sent me draw him? John 6-44. Knowing this rule of faith, why would we xunduly persuade? [A true Israelite will not do it. And we furthermore offer no personal inducements. And so it iswritten, Seek not the bread that perlsheth, , but seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all things shall be added unto you.' And it conveys the life of the body, ‘for if ,_ Ive gain the whole world and lose ourselves, what would it profit? And if wslosc the body, how could the meek inherit the earth, if his body is lost‘! To him that overcometh shall inherit all things. How could this be if his body be lost‘! We simply quote the sayings of Jesus. which is given out publicly, as it says, Cast thy bread upon the waters. and after many days itshcll return.’ ’ i write and publish this because sometimes it is claimed that we lpcrsncdc them‘ in by making promises. Nol We have often turned down money, and received them not, seeing they were not established in the faith. On the other hand. such as are established, and come, they simply come into the commonwealth of Israel. freely and wholly of their own’ free will, according to the apostolic plan, as given in Acts 2-H, and according to the one family of God. And we do not reckon such as a’ us:-Inca. because they come in as a member. And why is H D01 reasonable to bring their means with them? Paul says.

John ii—i2. And that "I understand the work to he a self—sacriﬂcing work—giving up all for the kingdom's sake, and therefore bringing myself and my all into the commonwealth of the house of Israel, and to abide by the rules and regulations of the House of David; knowing the scriptures say, There shall be a cleansing fountain open in the House of David, and as Jesus clearly showed an ingathering and restoration of Israel; having read the literature published by the House of David, which leaves it up to me without offering any further inducements or persuasion, and without personal promises of any description; and that I understand the park which is advertised by the House of David to be for the general public. and not private benefits or pleasurcs of the House of David or any of its members in any particular." Any home members, or members in general visiting the park, are as public visitors while doing so; not prohibited however—-nol but while doing so it is understood to be on equal basis with the general public, and on their own responsibility; no special privileges more than is to the general public. Notwithstanding the Park Springs of Eden is a private park, and its income belongs to the commonwealth of Israel. The preachers sent out by the House of David are forbidden to ask any one to come to the House of David, or induce or persuade in'any manner. They are instructed to simply preach the word of God rightly divided, and leave it with them; 'I‘his_work of ingathering is preparatory to the establishment of the kingdom of God on earth in ‘peace and in righteousness; and “before coming to the ingathering i understand its purposes according to the scriptures, and that all I possess is to be turned into the commonwealth for the_ work, and to be used for the work _of ingathcring, nor to ever hereafter set up any personal claim regarding it. _ In this visitation, during the time of the sounding seven angel messengers, it has ever been understood that there was to be no persuasion whatever; but under the foregoing messengers rather discourage, chiefly because it was not the time for ‘ingathering under their ministry, as their publications show clear and plain that the gathering was not to take place until the Seventlr Angel Messenger began to sound. Notwithstanding even now, under this message, it is strictly against our faith and gospel rule to use any persuasion in‘ any manner whatsoever, or hold out inducements unduly, outside of scripture teaching, for many reasons, knowing this ingathering is for preparation by this visitation, and the cleansing fountain; as all are born in sin by nature, and therefore nothing can remain except by faith proven by works, as gold is tried in the fire, and refined as silver. Zech 13-9. And as he is spoken of as a great Shepherd. separating the sheep from the goats, therefore this instrument or article will begin its work informing each and every one that this step for entering this ingatherlng must be by faith, separately and individually, wholly by understanding. and that of them\.ielves, and not by another encouraging or discouraging. These seeing this great faith through the Word need no encouraging or discouraging. ‘Why would we take pleasure in unbelief, coming and going, making trouble unnecessarily. both for themselves and others’! Therefore we give no place for unbelief, for without faith it is impossible to please God. * ‘ V I ' As ensamples, referring to the past, when Mary and Benjamin went to Australia, to the members under one of the former messengers. they brought eight)’-ﬁve people with them; and not one of them had been _ih_f0X'med by M{tI‘y.a.nd Benjamin xzoncerningghow we were fixed in the way of providing for them". And they weresurprised upon their arrival at the House of David; and many of them said they ‘expected accommoda- tions to be poor, and expected to sleep on a board or something similar. This is to show our methods have been, and still are, purely from the scripture standpoint; and this is taught pure and in all simplicity, for thi- kingdom‘s sake. Jesus said, Seek not for the bread that perisheth, but for the bread which the Son of man shall give; and by this bread. which is in Jesus Christ. we may eat thereof and live for ever. John 6-51. And furthermore he said, He kuoweth what you stand in need of. There- fore seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all things shall be added unto you; (Matt. 63-33;) for the meek shall inherit the earth. Matt. 5-5. _ We simply preach the kingdom of God and his righteousness. that no one be blamed. Any one who comes to the ingatheriug must understand, that they afterwards bring not a railing accusation. in case of coming, before which, or after, sig‘n,,to this great truth now set forth: and in the event of marrying or choice of any description, it must be by their own actvand free will, that no one be blamed in any way or manner whatsoever. Each and every person is held responsible for tlieir own acts or choice, and not another. This is gospel rule, and according to rule of faith, and according to the constitution of the United States of America: therefore we believe we should be subject to the powers that be, for they are ordained of God, and uphold the law of righteousness, and keep it which is ordained of God.

OWING to the desire of many to come to the House of David faster than we are able to build and prepare places for them, we wish it understood by all such, that in order to save us and themselves much unnecessary trouble, they should correspond with us before making arrangements to come. It is absolutely necessary that each and every case be given due consideration, and the applicant await for the call to come home, as there must be order in the Lord’s house. Furthermore we wish it understood that any and all families or individuals desiring to come .should pay their own way, and should not pay any one clse’s way.

HE visible things of the creation clearly show forth the invisible, even the eternal power and Godhead: and when we span the dispensations of time, we trace from the cause to the effect, and see clearly. The visible creation IS under the curse, and has been for six thousand years; and since the day Adam fell from the Paradise state, and was driven from the garden to labor under the curse, because of sin, thistles and thorns shall it bring forth, and withhold the good and precious fruits of the land; laboring and others reaping the fruits of their labors; building and others inhabit- ing; planting vineyards and others eating the fruit thereof. But the promise was made by God, who cannot lie, and holds good. And to the children of Israel, he saith, If they had been mindful of that country from whence they came, they might have returned. And that country was the Eden of paradise, lost by transgression. Therefore. we seek a country that hath foundation, and a city—the building of God, not made with hands. , _ Jesus Christ, the resurrection and the life, saith, Come take my yoke and learn of me, and I will give you rest! But ye will not come unto me for life, rest and peace. And there- fore Paul said, If Jesus had given them rest would he not afterwards have spoken,of another day? Therefore there remaineth a sabbath of rest for the people of God; and he is the Lord of the sabbath—which was made for man, and not man for the sabbath, for man was made before the sabbath. He made the creation in his labors in six days, and rested on the sabbath. And therefore we must cease from our ‘own works (by nature) as God did from his, and therefore rest from the power of sin, in which men labor under the curse and reap corruption. And corruption cannotinherit incor- ruption; therefore cannot be raised. A Why Seek Ye the Living Among the Dead? ' He Is Not There! He Has Risen! Luke 24-5, 6.

Hos. 9-7. The time of ingathering and restoration of Israel has come, and is now goinv on according to the scrip- tures, that the Lord has set his hand the second time to re- cover the remnant of his people Israel; and the promise is to the seed which was to come, children not then born, hav- ing neither done any good nor evil; therefore the prophet said, This was_written for a generation to come. Psalms 102-18. And as all are written for us upon whom the end as come, therefore._blessed and holy are they who waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and thirty-ﬁve days.

And sin is a transgression of the law of Christ; and the sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law;»for We would not have known sin had the law not said, Thou shalt not covet, etc. i ‘ He That Doeth the Will of My Father Shall Abide For Ever. 1 John 2-17. HE law was ordained unto life, but found to be unto death, because of carnality; and so lust when conceived brings forth sin, and sin when ﬁnished brings forth death. And so it is written, He that soweth to the ﬂesh shall of the ﬂesh reap corruption, and corru"~tir=ii cannot inherit incor- ruption. The lust of the eye, the pride of life, shall pass ziway and the lust thereof; but he that doeth the will of my Father shall abide for ever; he shall not pass away.

Jew and Gentile are both saved after dcath——tlie one through faith, and the other by faith; and this is for the soul salvation, after the death of the body. Therefore by one man came death, and so by one man, Jesus, came the resurrection—i. e., of souls that sleep; and so it is writtcﬂ. In that day, many that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and ever- lasting contempt. Daniel 12-2. They suffer loss——which is the loss of the body; and as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead. Faith without works is dead, being alone; and a free gift, therefore, without works, saves the soul; to be made in the likeness of angels—— equal to the angels in resurrection; but Jesus Christ, being the righteous, was the pattern and waymark for the elect, who will do the works that he did; and these works by faith will give the redemption of our body, that we may have our vile bodieschanged and fashioned like unto his glorious body. This mortal shall therefore put on immortality, (1 Cor. 15- 53,) and be like him who was raised higher than angels, crowned with honor and glory. Therefore Christ, the latter” Adam, will quicken our mortal bodies, etc. Therefore we are to crucify the old man with the affections and lust, and present our bodies a living sacriﬁce, holy and acceptable unto him, which is our,reasonable service. The creature waiteth there- fore for the manifestation of the sons of God. Because of sin, by which death came, the whole cieation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now; and even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adop- tion, to wit, the redemption of our body; (Rom. 8-23;) and for this cause this visitation is given by the seven angels sounding in order. And so it is written, When the Seventh Angel begins to sound, the mystery shall be ﬁnished, as de- clared to his servants, the prophets. Rev. 1o,-7. I Pray God Your Whole Spirit and Soul and Body, Be Preserved Blameless Unto the Coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Thess. 5-23. THEREFORE John heard the utterings of seven thunders, and was about to write the things he heard, and it was said, Seal up those things and write them not; therefore the seven angels were to sound in order, and open the seven seals and ﬁnish the mystery of full redemption of body, soul Therefore Jesus made the atonement'as a free gift; and the mystery of godliness, God manifest in the ﬂesh, by the birth of immortality, for the elect". Therefore Jesus said, I have other sheep not of this fold, and I" give unto them eternal life, and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. V . Now the middle wall was broken giwn between Jew and Gentile, and both saved, the one by ith, and the other through faith, making them one fold, whoicome in resur- rection to be made as angels; which is spoken of as the great host that no man could number, and who were of all kindreds, tongues and people, black and white, bond and free——all one in Christ, by and through faith brought in by the Holy Ghost, beginning at_Pentecost. And as Jesus made the atonement for the world which was lost, he therefore came to save‘ a lost world. But as to this other fold, he prayed that they be taken not out of the world, but kept from the evil; and this is his chosen elect, who are to be brought in by the Spirit of truth, that other Comforter, which the world canno-t receive; but my sheep know my voice, and a stranger they‘ will not follow. And this elect are gathered unto Shiloh. And Paul prayed that they might be redeemed, spirit, soul and body; as it is written, I pray God that your whole spirit, and souland body might be preserved—not destroyed, but preserved; and being alive and.remaining, mortal shall put on immortality at the sound of the last or Seventh trump, by which the mystery shall be ﬁnished. This shall be the manifestation of the sons of God, for which the creature waiteth; and the creature itself also shall be d_r'livered fromthe bondage of corrugition—— not after it is, gone to corruption, but from the bondage of corruption——into the glorious liberty of the sons of God. Jesus the F irstborn Among Many Brethren. Romans 8-29. OVV note: Those who die, and who have died, lose the body and suffer loss, having gone to corruption; and cor- ruption cannot inherit incorruption. Their souls shall be raised as angels, and therefore cannot become sons, because Jesus said, In resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God, (Matt. 2,2-30,) neither male nor female. And angels are not called sons, as he saith, For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee; sit thou upon my right hand till I make thine enemies thy footstool‘? Therefore as angels are not sons, how could they have been born of God‘? and not having been born of God, are not sons, and so have no part in the marriage of the Lamb; for they neither marry nor are given in marriage. And furthermore, as angels were not begotten, how could they become born of God as sons? Jesus was the only begotten son, and he only hath immortality. Therefore it shows plainly that those who want to die and become angels cannot be be- gotten and conceived and born of God; and in resurrection they are equal to the angels, and are as angels. And angels . are not called sons, nor do they have part in the marriage of the Lamb; nor can they be like him, the only begotten son, for he was a male of the first year, and became a son—born not of blood, nor by the will of the ﬂesh, nor of man, but 'Hﬂ:!!iClli)l'l‘|"l£|'bO‘l‘, Mlchlbﬂlli '1 l. _ . . . d b‘ th was born into immortal life.

They asked if he would’ at that time restore the kingdom to Israel.

' Therefore he did not at his ﬁrst coming ﬁnish the mystery and restore the kingdom to Israel. coming was for the soul, and his second for the body; and he is head of the church and saviour of the body. And therefore V he sends the Spirit of truth, that other Comforter, which the world cannot receive; but the world did, and are still‘ re-_ ceiving the ﬁrst, which was given at Pentecost for the salva- tion of the soul, only to be as angels. ,» And Christendom boast of converting the world, but you see, this Spirit of truth, .that atlzer Comforter, the 'wdrld cannot receive; and while by the ﬁrst they do receive it for the soul salvation. Yet in the face of their boast of converting the world, it is written, The world shall wax worse and’. ‘ worse; and as in the days of Noah, so shall it be. in the coming of the Son of man, till it repented him that he made , man. And so he shortens the time for the elect’s sake or no ﬂesh would be saved. Therefore in this his second coming he comes without sin unto salvation, to them who look for him. ’ » One Hundred and Forty-Four Thousaiidi » Redeemed From Among Men. _Rev._ 14-4. -THE;g‘if,ts and balling of "God are without‘?-’repenejan the'elect' will overcome and crucify the old , , the affections and lusts, that the body of sin might be de- stroyed.

And therefore as by the in of,,one man many were made (sinners, so also by the ghteousness of one man, many are made righteous. NOW ‘comes the question: How, and why is it that many were V, ade ‘sinners by the sin of one man‘?—-as we understand each and every man iS.responsible for his own_siI_1s. This is .a far-reaching subject, and like the foreordination'an_d predestination, and all being born in sin and shapen in iniquity.» By these scriptures, hard to _'be understood, we must understand. the origin of these things: 3‘}d the ﬁrs‘ great cause; as we also read of sins visiting children up to the third and fourth generation. Cm WhYs and how Could it be understood, except we understand the ﬁrst great cause? Therefore the ﬁrst great cause began by the one -. man, Gadrel~—the serpent-beast who deceived Eve. There- fore there was a great rebellion; and Michael and his angels fought, and the dragon and his auigels. These spirits who rebelled with the fallen angels and the red dragon, ha‘/9 been taking bodies in blood ‘through Adam’s transgression. And these therefore sinned in spirit before taking bodies, , and born in sin; and sins visited till the spirits of the just now take bodies, who did not sin in that rebellion;_and who did the will of. God in heaven, and will now do his will , in earth as it was done‘ in heaven. Matt. 6-io. The Living, the Living, Shall Praise Thee. ._ Isaiah 38-19. - THEREFORE it is written, The children will no more bear the iniquities of their fathers; who‘ did not sin in spirit. And therefore to the man who received his eyes opened, who was born blind, the question arose, “Who did sin, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” Jesus said, Neither did this man nor his parents Sin, that he was born blind—that it was not the cause. And why ‘?-— nor did their parents, or their forefathers of Paradise, of ‘this old Egyptian world, and made subject to vanity or -and did not sin; and will now awake to righteousness, and 1 SHILOH’S MESSENGER seeing it was through the sin of one man many were mad?! sinners, and born blind, spiritually. Because this man Was 21 ﬁgure of the Man-branch, or Son of man, and of Israel. And it was these of whom Jesus spoke—it being a fact that they did not sin in Spirit, nor did their paradisical parents sin, that they were born blind; but having been sent to earth, and as seed sown in the Adamic earth, and because of the Adamic sleep in blood, they were born blind that the power of God might be made manifest, by their eyes being opened by this visitation to see the life of body, soul and Spirit. and the ‘mysteries made known. Therefore by the resurrecting power of this visita- tion, we grow in grace and the knowledge of the truth, being raised with him to walk in newness of life, and walk before him in the light of the living; for, The grave cannot praise him, and death cannot celebrate him, and they that go down into the pit (or grave) cannot hope for thy truth —-showing there is a truth that cannot be hoped for by going to the grave; which truth is the life of the body, for he is not the god of the dead, but of the living. And therefore it is written, There is no God- in all the earth but in Israel; ahd it will be manifest and known by all’. It, was neither the sin of this man nor his parents that he was born blind, but that the power of God might be made manifest. Now in view of the fact that it was through the sin of one man that death came, and passed upon all be- causé all have sinned, and which sins of our forefathers have been visited upon the children, it looks like a contradiction to the above statement of Jesus, except we rightly divide, and understand the scriptures regarding the old world and the new, and that all are written for us upon whom the end of the old world has come, aiid the beginning of the new. ' ‘ Therefore seeing the old Adamic world sinned and came short of the glory of God, we then can see the manborn blind was a ﬁgure. And yet Jesus was speaking of the-seed and spirits of _the just, saying, Neither this man nor his parents sinned, as a cause of him being born blind—— signifying the spirits of the just, who did God’s will in spirit, for which the promise was made before the world was. Therefore they had not sinned in spirit, (in heaven,) jiirt Lora” ivisoou which, and from which,. this seed to whom the promise was made, descended, as I have hitherto proved; and will» return to that country from whence they came. If They Had Been Mindful of That Country From Whence They Came, They Might _Have Returned. Heb. 11-15. EMEMBER it’ was a country——Eden’s paradise, the land of promise, to be restored, as shown in ﬁgure of Israel in days of old; as Abraham and Jatiob lived once upon a time in naan, and Joseph was sold into Egypt— Egypt being a ﬁg1_1TC of this old world since the fall. And after Joseph was sold, the seed of Jhcob was enslaved in Egypt. And the old ones rebelled in the wilderness, and were not mindful of that country from whence they caiiie'— Viz., Canaan—and the promise was made good with their children, who crossed Jordan alive. And all these things were in ﬁgure to Show the two worlds—~viz., the old fallen world of sin and death, and the new land, or coming world of promise-; and therefore this seed, and children of Abra- I ham, spirits of the just, who did. not sin in spirit, but were kept back,- now to take bodies in Egypt, or rather sent to sin, being born in sin, and by nature spiritually blind. But not because of sin, for Jesus sigiiiiied this when he said, Pray, Thy kingdom come. And why? Remember it says, “Thy kingdom”——which was prepared for them from before '-of -it upon the earth, and cut it short in righteousness. the world began. Matt.~25-34. And why? Because they | did his will in heaven’S Paradise. And so, Thy kingdom come, thy will be done in earth as it was done in heaven !— 4 showing it was done in heaven. ‘And so they did not sin, nor did their parents or fathers of Paradise, or Edcn’s Par- adise—they who were immortal and did not fall. As for particulars, they are shown in the sixth and seventh BOOKS or WISDOM, of ,which all should read. It reveals secrets and mysteries which have been kept secret from before the foundation of the world—i. e., the old world; and Israel now to overcome, iInd_enter the_land of promise; and their bodies redcemed—the land that can rejoice, and show his glory, and sing his praise, returning to that country from whence they came——that country in which they did his will siii not——doir.g liis will in earth as it was done in heaven. And this will be accomplished by that living bread coming down from heaven, that we-may eat thereof and not die, but live for ever. John ()-51. And so Jesus also prayed, saying, I pray, Father, you take, them not out of the world, but keep them from the evil. Therefore if we are kept from evil, we then sin not, and could not reap the wages of sin, which is death, for the sting of death is sin; these being the creatures subjected to vanity, or sin, that they might by this visitation over- come it, and crucifythe old man Of sin with his affections. and lusts, that the body of sin might be destroyed, (Rom. 6-6; Gal. 5-24,) and the creature itself also might be de- livered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. Therefore this mortal must put on immortality, and be made like Jesus the ﬁrstborn of this new coming world, and our pattern and waymark. And So it is written, Our vile bodies shall be changed and fash- ioned like unto his glorious body of ﬂesh and bone.

A CERTAIN man traveled from Jerusalem to Jericho, and . fell among thieves and robbers. They stripped him of his rairnent, and left him half dead by the wayside. A priest came down that way and looked upon him, but passed by on the other side. And likewise a Levite came to the place, and looked upon‘him, and passed by on the other side. These parables span the dispensations of time and take in both the mortal world and the immortal—the ﬁrst Adam and the latter. Jerusalem, the temple, was a figure of’ the temple or city of 144,000 sons of God——<:alled the city of the great King. Jericho is a ﬁgure of this planet in its fallen condition, and the fallen Adam with thieves and robbers. Therefore, Adam left his own habitation——the Jerusalem Paradise state—desiring his inheritance to be div- ided. Therefore he fell among thieves and robbers (the devil and his host) ; and they wounded him, leaving him half dead by the wayside. ‘ Jesus said, All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers—-who rob, God of the temple, and who chose Barabbas, the thief and robber, a type of Satan. Jesus said, The thief cometh not but to kill and to destroy, and because of this thief, the devil ‘and his thieves. and robbers wounded Adam-, leaving him half dead in the fall, and stfipped him of his raiment—-signifying the immortal clothing in which he dwelt before he fell. The Priest. and the Levite Were Enoch and Elijah. Heb. 11-5; 2.Kings 2-11. THE priest who came down in the fall——born in sin——was Enoch; the seventh from Adam. He saw this wounded man ”b_y the wayside, (i. e., Adam’s fallen race,) and he __passed by on the other side; i. e., he took hold of the promises and’kept that,paradisical law which Adam broke. So he passed by on the other s'de of the grave without going through it, and God took him that he might not see death. Heb. 11-5. The Levite was Elijah of the tribe of Levi. Heicame down in the fall and came to the place, looked on the fallen condition of the Adamic world, who was half dead. and woundedby Satan and his thieves and robbers, and so passed by ‘on the other side. He by the law of right- eousness took hold of‘ the promise, and rode triumphantly over sin, death and the grave, and so passed back up into Jeriisalem’s immortal state. Now these two—-the priest and the Levite, Enoch and ’Elijah——did not prove to be the old ' man Adam’s neighbor,’ because they have not redeemed nor restored man. But Jesus is the Good Samaritan, and proves to be the neighbor. He redeemed the whole Adamic world, and Israel, who are suffering in the fall, subject to vanity against their will, andlborn in sin. Jesus Christ, by the living Word of life, dresses his wounds that he received in the fall,‘ and cleanses his blood in this preparation, puts him on his beast; (which signiﬁes his body,) and takes him to. the inn—which means the ingathering, the ark of the Father’s house. He paid the two pence—~signifying law and gospel— and saith, If any more, I will pay‘ when I come; as all re-. ceive 21 just reward for whatsoever they d(>——even for a cup , of cold water in his name, or a disciple’s name. ’ 22-12. Jesus——the' Good Samaritan—a Saviour of All Men, and Specially Those That I Believe. 1 Tim. 4-10. ‘THEREFORE his reward is with him and his work before him, and every man receives according‘ as his work shall be. Matt. 16-27. Therefore whatsoever is spent for lsrael’s sake at the inn, verily they shall not lose their re- ward; for at his coming, his reward is with him, and in resurrection all receive according as their work shall be. Rev. He saith, pertain-ing to Israel who are suffering in the fall as at Jericho, Whenil passed by thee and S{lW thee polluted in thine own blood, I said unto thee, (by this. visit- ation,) Yea, I said unto thee, “Live”; and he pours in the oil and the wine, and brings a restoration and full redemp- tidn of spirit, soul and body; and proves to be the neighbor of Israel-%—a Saviour of all men, especially of them that be- lieve. The Word was sealed till the time of the end, which signifies the time of this visitation which was promised ;, as jgbsgiys, Without a vision the people perish, but the vision is for an appointed time, and at the end it shall speak and not lie; though it tarry, wait for it, it will surely come. This was spoken of by the 3P05tl"-5 ]°“S ‘}fF°r_th'~’ H01)’ Gh°_5_t was sent at Pentecost. That was a VlS1[ﬂtlO,n--l)u.t only in part‘ and since that they all spoke of the time of the end and any of visitation, when the Spirit of truth, that olfzer Comforter should come, which the world ‘cannot receive. This was to be the latter rain, and the refreshing showers from the presence of our Lord and his Christ. Therefore Jesus Spoke in proverb and parable, to be interpreted in this the time of the end and day of visitation; which could ‘not have been understood before the time of interpretation. Since the day Adam sinned and was driven from the garden of Eden’ and the Paradise of God was lost, CllCl'ublll('n5 wege - ' to turn eve way ‘to ee t e laced,’ gilnadn sealed frodiy the fallen di;obe- fiviimoworlld, lest they would reach forth and partake of the tree of ﬁfe‘, and live for ever in rebellion and disobedience stntorrs MESSENGER or viiisboiit H .,.v, against God. Therefore He declared the» end from the beginning, and calleth those things that be not as though they were; which is yet to be fulﬁlled in those who are obedient and receive light by this visitation. He Doeth Nothing, but He Revealeth His Secrets To His Servants, the Prophets Amos 3-7. - OTICE! It was the life of the body that was lost, and by disobedience they lose the piece that keepeth’the peace of the house. So as it was the body lost, so also the kingdom of God was lost by Adam ; and the mystery sealed from Adam and his‘ fallen world. So it says, By one man’s sin many were made sinners. In Adam, therefore, all die, as by the sin of one man, death came into the world; and death passed upon all because all have sinned; and as it says in another place, All have sinned and come short of the glory of God—which glory must be restored, and the kingdom of God restored. The disciples asked, Will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel? He said, It is hot for you to know the times andvthe seasons that the Lord hath put in his own power. Therefore these mysteries were sealed from man’s understanding, and known by God, the Father, to be revealed to whomsoever he pleaseth, and in the time and season that pleaseth him. Yet he doeth nothing, but he revealeth his sdcrets to his servants the prophets (of this visitation) ; as it says, I would all the Lord’s people were prophets. In this, we apparently have a contradiction. As to the prophets of old, they, prophesied, but did not under- stand, as we have _already proven." The mysteries were sealed from them, and from the disciples also, as before proven. Therefore as the mysteries were , sealed since cherubims were placed to guard the tree of life, all is written for us upon whom the end has come. So he,declared the end from the beginning, to be fulﬁlled in living substance’ in this the "time of the end and day of visitation—the time which is to be shortened for the elect’s sake, or no ﬂesh would be saved. - ' Jesus Came To-Abolish, Death, and to De- stroy Him That Hath the Power of Death, Which Is the Devil. - 2 Tim. 1-10; Heb. 2-_14. SEEING at ﬁrst the life of the body was lost by disobe- ' dience, so now it must be found by obedience, and life of body, soul and spirit restored. If cherubims with ﬂam- ing swords were placed to keep the disobedient from the tree of life, and death claims their bodies, then what about- it ‘now? What saith the scriptures? It says: Life and immortality were brought to light through "the gospel, (2 Tim. 1-10,) and Jesus came to abolish death, and to destroy him who had power of death, which is'the devil. And what saith the scriptures for us upon whom the end and day of visitation has come‘? It‘ says this: To him that overcometh shall I give to eat of the tree of life——showing the ﬂaming swords are removed, and death abolished for him that overcometh the-world, the devil and the ﬂesh; and to them will I grant to’ eat of the hidden manna, hid in the midst of the paradise of God. _ So Jesus said, The words I speak are spirit and life, as in the beginning was the Word, which was with God, and which was God,- and took upon itself ﬂesh anddwelt among men, in a body which did not see corruption. This body of ﬂesh and bone was the temple, and the life’ for the living by the Word of God; which is the Word of life, and not the word of death—life and im- mortality of the body, our pattern and waymark. And we shall be made like him; for those whom he foreknew he did predestinate to.be conformed to the image of his son. Rom. 8-29. He was a light to lighten the Gentiles and the glory of his people Israel. Therefore they will not die in the faith not having received the promise, for they will receive the promise; or why was it given? and the promise is ‘the redemption of our body. These will not continue in sin that grace may abound. No! They will overcome and receive the glory of God; while those going before died in the faith——not seeing it for themselves, but seeing it afar off; seeing it was for the time of the end and day of visit- ation, and seeing it for the seed to horn the promise was made. They saw it was sealed till e time of the end, and to be unsealed in,‘ the day of visitation to his elect, whom he foreknew and did predestinate to be conformed to the image of the ﬁrstborn among these many brethren——sons i God yet to be revealed.

Came E" the beginning of the third prophetic day. Knowing the 1! C of the body was sealed till the time of the end of this P7°Ph“‘ ic day, he therefore spoke in parables, and gave a parable covering the whole dispensation or third prophetic d3Y.,35 , he said: The kingdom of heaven is like a householder, which . went out early in the morning to hire laborers into his vine- yard; and when he had agreed with the laborers for a penny" a day, he sent them into the vineyard. And he Weflt Wt about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the market place. He said unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right,.I will give you; and the)’ ‘ went their way. ‘ Again he went out about the sixth hour, and the ninth likewise, and about the eleventh hour he went 1 out and found others standing idle, and saith unto. them, Why stand ye here allithe day idle? They said unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right, that. shall» ye receive. So when evening was come, the lord of the vineyard saith to the steward, Call the laborers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the ﬁrst. And when they came that were hired about the eleventh; hour, they received every mama penny; but when the fit , came, they supposedthey would'receive more, and the likewise _received every man a penny. And when they re-' oeived it they murmured against the goodman of the house saying, These last wrought but one hour, and thou hast mad them equal unto us, ,who have borne, the burden and hea of the day. But he answered onelof them and said, Friend I do thee no wrong. Didst not thou agree with me for penny‘? Take that thine is, and go thy way; I willgiv unto this last even as unto thee. Is it not lawful for m to do what I will with mine own‘? ‘Is thine eye evil becaus I am good? So the last shall be ﬁrst, and the first last: for many be called but few chosen. . . The Salvation. of the Soul, Received As_ H Penny. .Matt. 20, 1-16. , ‘ [N this great parable given above, we must_notice one‘ the same thing shown in -other parables, a the common salvation as a free gift, and the of the body and the times and seasons. You will not this hohseholder went out early in the morning; and till householder was Jesus, who came in the beginning of‘, th third prophetic day, (as it says, A male of the ﬁrst year, and day of salvation. And you know he compared it to, great harvest and vineyard. Christ- said, I am t-he true vine and ye are the branches. In his ﬁrst coming ‘he brought i the Gentiles, who were idle, and without God and withou hope in the world. These are as laborers, and righteousnes is zm;>ute{1,unto them. This,is the» salvation of soul, an rec/toned as a penriy——the Jew with the law is reckoned as a penny, and the Gentiles with the gospel of grace, reckone " as a penny. I3ut Israel. with both law and gospel, as spok of in Revelation 15-3,, are reckoned as the two pence——la\ and gospel; as they sing the song.of Moses and the Lamb.‘ However, the agreement was made with these first, for penny, and how could he justly give reward for that they" did not do‘? or how could they receive reward for what their faith did not call for‘? or how could he justly give the redemption of the body to such as do not see it, nor ask for it—much less labor for it‘? Therefore, all ‘were rerlroned as‘. laborers, agreeing for the soul salvation as reward——a penny ‘ Whether. they labored in the third hour, sixth, ninth or- the eleventh, the gospel of gracelgives to all laborers——o. r Whosigned to labor—-—the soul salvation.

They just stand andlisten. The people at Fresno begged us, to stay. One man offered us a house to live in, if we would only stay here and preach all winter. Another man wanted us to stay with him outside of town on his ranch, and come to town from there to hold meetings, A man and his wife made themselves ac-_ quainted with us yesterday. They said that they had not ijnuch to do on the ranch, and have been driving in every day to hear us. Also another man came in twelve miles with" his auto every day now foriabout a week to hear us. _ We received Sister Mary’s loving and encouraging letter fromhome this week. Our hearts rejoiced whenwe opened our rriail and saw the letter with the “Dove of Peace” on it, for well we-knew it was a letter from Sister Mary and Brother, Benjamin. , i_ ’ A one of our meetings, while I'~was talking on the great , and"‘great overturn, a man asked me ‘what I of the capture of Jerusalem by the‘ British. I then explained that this fulﬁlls the scripture: When you see Jeru- salem compassed with armies, lift up your heads,’ for your redemption draweth nigh, Then Rosie handed me the map of the City of Jerusalem, which we had in Seattle, and I - pointed -outthe Jalfa road,_ Damascus road, Bethlehem road, _‘etc., also the tombs of the kings on the earth, and Valley of Jehoshaphat which lies just to the east _of Jerusalem, and the pool of Siloam to the south of the City. This gathered up a very large crowd, and they were-in shape to listen to ' the plan of redemption of ,the' whole man, body, soul and spirit—a people to be saved alive out of all this turmoil of 1 destruction and death. Hosea 13-14. Though the j'udg- ments may be so ﬁerce,’ and life could not exist but a very short time, yet God has promised to shorten the days, or no ﬂesh could be saved; as it says in Matt. 24-22: Except ”those days should be shortened, there should no ﬂesh be saved": but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened. Though a thousand may fall. at thy side, and ten thou- sand at thy right side, it shall not -come nigh thee. Psa. 91-7. { And God has promised to»send the Deliverer to turn away -ungodliness from Jacob, and restore the kingdom here on , earth. The Lord’s prayer will then "be fulﬁlled, “Thy king- dom come 3” The kingdom and dominion and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven shall be given to ‘the people of the saints of the.Most High. These words seemed to be grasped by the majority of the crowd, and many got LITTLE BOOKS -and papers, andquite a number of BOOKS e or VYISDOM were taken.

At each meeting good interest was shown, and a number subscribed for the paper, SiiLLoii’s MESSENGER or WISDOM. We met three brothers and a sister there, who are all expecting to go home soon. Two of them got the message from us three years ago, and now_ they have the STAR’. We were sorry to leave them, but this message must be preached to the world as a witness; so we had no time to lose. Athens was the first stop. There we had a very interesting meeting; and the people were seeking truth, and took the books freely. A man got angry, and called out to the crowd, We have good ministers and ﬁne churches here in Athens, and we don't have to get anyone from Michigan to teach. us. (According to your argument you are downing all the churches. Nobody right but just you). He . walked off. Truth hurts. VVe left next morning for Kemp, a town of 1,000 inluihitiints, where we held ‘.1 ﬁne meeting. Everyone in the crowd took the hooks; some taking four books. A number of questions were asked after meeting. and the people were very nice to us. They talked for over an hour after meeting; such 21 nice spirit was shown. Next morning the ticket agent asked us to stay and preach zlgillll, but we had made arrangements to go on; so he took three books. VVe held two good meetings in Kaufman on Saturday. A preacher» there took the books, and thanked us for coming there; as he had learned more in one meeting than he had learned in years of study; as we cleared up so many points for him in the course of our talk, especially about the former cycle of time—1n showing up the fall of Adam, and the mixing of the serpent, etc. Next day we made two towns, Mills Point and Grand Saline. We held a ﬁne meeting in Mills Point. Much litera- ture was taken. Two persons followed us to the depot and both got four books each. We had a fine crowd at Grand Saline. One man stood close up, and took in every word. ' We found out later that he had all the writings, and was expect- ing to go home to Benton Harbor later. The people there are certainly seeking truth, and give good attention. I met a brother on the street looking for us, and he took us to his hoirie and made us feel at home until it warmed -up. Saturday morn- ing thesun came out, and we lost no time in starting a meet- ing. We soon had a large crowd, and they listened for two hours, ﬁfteen men taking subscriptions to SH11.oH’s MES- SENGER 01-‘ W1sDoM. During meeting they took almost every book we had in our box. Two preachers took the books also. Sunday afternoon we spoke again, and the crowd gave good attention, but one man asked Gladys, Who wrote those books? She said, They are published by the Israelites of the House of David, Benton Harbor, Michigan. He said he did not want any such rubbish, as the bible was written by divine hands, by the hand of God. Gladys asked him if Paul was a divine hand; as Paul admitted he wasnot, that when he would do good,.evil was always present. Paul admitted that. he was I :1 carnal man. This man said that all he believed in was Jesus and his coming. Then we asked him a question, as he believed in Jesus: Jesus said, “If you accept not him whom I send, you accept not me;” and also said,- “When the Son of man shall come, before him shall be gathered all nations; and he will separate them as a shepherd divideth his sheep _from the goats.” And Solomon said, I considered all the living that walk under the sun, with the Second Clzilzl that shall stand up in his stead. Eccl. 4-15. We asked him who the ‘ Second Child was, or the Son of man. He admitted that he did not know, but claimed that he‘was born of God,.etc. We asked him if he sinned; and then the crowd all laughed, as he said, Just a little. We then said, The scripture says, He that sinneth is of the devil; and he that is born of God cannot. sin, etc. As we tied him up, he ﬁnally walked off. _ While, in Long View several renewed their subscription. We met an interested family in Marshall. Saturday morn- ing we spoke to an immense crowd. We spoke for two hours, and they took all the literature we had, and a number wanted more; so Gladys spoke again, while I went to the express office to get the literature. The crowd waited for me to get back, and much literature was disposed of. ‘Saturday night we spoke again, and the brother and sister came to hear us. We had a nice little crowd, and most all listened attentively. One man took all seven BOOKS or W1s1)oM. He had heard us three years ago. We left for Jefferson Monday morning, and while there I met a farmer who had heard us in Marshall three years ,ago. \He was pleased to see us, and took all the seven Books or VV1s1>oM, Book of Enoch, and a subscription to the paper. We held a good meeting there, but had a little contention over the sabbath day,‘ as there were a number of Seventh Day Adventists in the crowd. They were with us for a little while, but the life of the body was a pill too large for them to swal- low; as I told them, keeping Saturday and abstaining from meat would not save them. If you break the legit command you are guilty of the whole. _ They acknowledged they were going to die. I said, Now if you are keeping all the com- mandments, what will cause you to die? Not righteousness; as, In the way of righteousness is life (not death), and in the pathway thereof there is no death. So it must be sin! There- fore you are not one point ahead of any other church, and are still seeking truth. I then asked him, VVhat is truth? He said, The VVord of God. I said, Now I will prove by that Spirit of truth, that you have not got the truth: Hezekiah, the prophet, said, The grave cannot ‘praise thee, death cannot celebrate thee: they that go down to the grave can/rot hope for thy /rot/i. The living shall praise thee. Isa. 38-18. And Jesus made a prayer for the elect, and His prayer is going to be answered: I pray, Father, that you take them no/‘ out of the world, but keep them from the evil. Now if you die, has that prayer been fulﬁlled in you‘? No; you go down in dishonor, and you suffer loss.’ Your body (the temple of God) is turned over to Satan for the destruction of the ﬂesh —consumed by a ﬁre not blown; and is as water spilt on the ground, that cannot be gathered up again. 2 Sam. 14-14. Therefore I would ask, How could you present your f10d|’ a lz't‘z'7zg sacriﬁce, and sing that song, “O death, where is ihy sting‘? O grave, where is thy victory ‘?” after death has stung you, and the grave has you for its victim‘? He said he ex- pected his body to rise again. I said, If that be true, then Jesus and Paul must be wrong; as, in speaking of the woman with seven husbands, Jesus said, In resurrection ‘there is, no marrying nor giving in marriage; and Paul proves it in Gal- ations 3-28, where he says, they are neither male nor female ' those who die are made equal to 11 "notice the difference ! ‘my sons and daughters!” ‘which constitutes male and female, having gone Now if the body of ﬂesh is to be’ esurmcted ,,,,,i,, then they would be male and female‘. I l' ‘ n‘ 1 ' . ~_ , ‘h k.’ h then showed that the elect (the ff“ 1445000)’ “ 0 (lap t C nindinents will be alive and reriiaining——mﬂl€ and COITII I *9 i I feinale——and take part in the niai'riziS" of the Lamb; and .be like him when he comes——raised highcr than zlrlgcllfi Wl“l3 ngels; showing the difference between the dead and the living.

Several men walked UP~ and Smd they were «lad that I had defeated him, as he thought thathe had the ivhole truth, and could down any 0116; but Ems “We be met his match. At Winsboro we had a nice meeting. T he crowd seemed to enjoy it immensely, as a man hutted in, and med to prove our teachings were wrong. He said, Paul mid no reference to the body in 1 Corinthians 15-53, W_h€l.'€-‘ he says. This mortal must put on immortality. He said it w.as.the soul he had reference to. Trying to get the crowd on his side, he turned to them and said, If these people are true, and there is no such thing as the immortality of the soul, we are all lost, and Christ is false. I then showed forth the oo/‘moon, salvation and the great salvation——one being a free gift of grace without works, which is for the soul; the other, the‘ great faith-working out your own salvation, by proving your faith by your works; which is for the few, who walk the nar- row path. Then I asked him if any of the" saints arose at, the cruciﬁxion of Jesus. He said, Yes. I said, Did they put —the body. to dust to rise no more. on immortality of the soul‘? He said, Sure!‘ Then I opened . up the bible and proved ‘that they did not; as speaking of Jesus, it says, He only hath immortality. 1 Tim. 6-16. I then asked him, What about the saints‘? -He would not answer, so I asked him another question: It says, “He that breaketh the least command is guilty of the whole;” what has this passage reference to‘? ‘-He saidit meant that those who broke the least command would be lost—spirit and soul. I said, If that be true, what does Jesus mean,_ where he says, If you break the leart command, and teach men so, you,shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven‘.3——showing you, that after breaking the commandments you get in the kingdom of heaven anyhow; so what is ‘lost? He turned away and said, I don’t want to discuss the scriptures on the street. The crowd laughed at him. I then showed the difference between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of heaven; the king- dom of heaven being the coinmon salvation, those who die and are saved by the atonement of J esus—a free gift of grace without works. By grace are ye saved—a great company no man could number, of all kindreds, tongues and people. , But The kingdom of,God‘ is for a few. (See Revelation 7th and 14th chapters.) '~ And so it is writ- ten, Strait is the gate, and narrow is the‘ way, which leadeth unto life,‘ and few there be that find it. Matt. 7-14. These will overcome _sin, death and the grave, and present their bodies a licirzg sacriﬁce, and be- alive and remaining. They will plant vineyards and eat the fruit thereof, and build houses and inhabit_them; for the meek shall-‘ inherit the earth, and so fulﬁll the Lord’s prayer. , Well I must close, with love, forithe ki_ngdom’s sake, GLADYS AND CHARLIE. !S!!l.‘.§lE9£€'.~‘Si¥i.*.5.'i2§!E$E!«E9&€!£i9.€!~’.‘9E‘/SlSLSi!§!¥9¥2l5 AU STRAIIIA-H ll5l53i§%£?é1L-‘5«§1S'22§>E'iE:9£%>E%!~’££E§9£i«°£lElS9£lE€5E , » , HEADQUARTERS: _ ~CABARITA, SYDNEY, New Souru‘ WA1,Es_ INFORMATION AND LITER.-XTURE‘. - 193 MOORABOOL STREET, GEELONG, VICTORIA.

Then I Said, The scriptures say, Christ shall reign on the earth; then that would bring heaven to earth. Jesus said he was in heaven when on earth, because Christ was with him. So the kingdoms of this world shall become the’ kingdoms of our Lord and his Christ; and when the Son of man shall come, he shall render unto every man according as his work shall be. I then called on a man at his home. He said he had read our books, but did notsee eye to eye with us, as he believed we would all die. I,said, Truly in Adam all die—-i. c., those ‘who only believe in soul salvation, and deny the power of God to save the body; but in Christ all are made alive—i. e., those who, in Christ, work out their own salvation with fear and trembling, and are faithful, will never see death, as God has promised it, and he cannot lie. He then asked me to work for him. I told him it was an individual work. We find many of this class, who would gladly receive _all the glorious promises, but are not willing to fulﬁll the conditions, and would rather live in luxury and comfort than take Jesus as their pattern and waymark. Our next opponent was a man who said he had read one page of our LITTLE B0014, and that was suﬂicient for him. I produced one of our LITTLE BOOKS, and said, Prove to me where it is wrong. So he read, The Holy Ghost at Pentecost was given for soul salvation—a free gift of grace without works, and by that Spirit they only saw in part, and as through a glass darkly. I said, Did not Paul say this? And was it not after Pentecost? But it says, VVhen He, the Spirit of truth, shall come, he will lead and guide you in the way of all truth and show you things to come. He did not like to admit the two comings, and saw he was defeated. I furthermore said, Does it not say, He will pour out his Spirit on all ﬂesh in the last days, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy? This man waited to hear no more, as the Word of God was too much for him. V VVe are pleased to say there are some here who are willing to accept the truth, and are striving to walk the narrow way. One lady said, The LITTLE BOOK is worth its weight in gold. Indeed there is nothing more beautiful than Israel’s faith, as it aspires to the highest ideal of man, which is to be made God-man—being made like Jesus Christ, and he is the ﬁrstborn among many brethren. "So the time is here that Paul looked forward to, of the manifestation of the sons of God, and the creature will now be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. This gospel of the kingdom of God, which is God manifest in the ﬂesh, is being preached as a witness to all nations, and then cometh the end of the old world of sin and death. ~ One lady said, You don’t bow your head at the name of Jesus, and the bible says, At the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess; He is Lord of all! 0, I said, I did not know a person’s head» was their kneel We know every knee shall bow, but we believe in under- standing the Word of God, and rightly divide in times and seasons; for every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I, saying, Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, be unto Him that sitteth upon the throne for ever and ever. But today there are many who draw near with their lips, but their hearts are far off. But _the time will come when all shall serve him from the least to the greatest, and the knowledge of God shall cover the earth as the water covers the sea; (Isa. 11-9;) and nothing shall hurt nor destroy iri all my holy mountain, saith the Lord. Isa. 65-25. But today trouble is on the increase, and many are going to their spiritual advisers seeking solace and comfort in their hour of need, but they can give them no true comfort, as this only comes saying, Come unto me all ye that are heavy laden, ‘and I will give you rest—yes, rest from the power of Satan, that you may enter into the Sabbath of rest that yet remaineth for the people of God. Heb. 4-9. There is a cleansing fountain now opened in the House of David for sin and uncleanness (Zech. 13-'1)——which is not a fountain ﬁlled with blood. ‘ Our meetings here have been well attended, and we hold them at the fountain in the principal part of this city, and many people say they never heard the scriptures explained like itbefore. We tell them it is God’s.work, and not the work of man, as no flesh shall glory in His presence.

He is‘ THE megs THREE THERE IS ONE GLORY OF THE SUN, ANOTHER OF THE MOON, AND ; ANOTHER OF THE STARS. 1 Cor. 15-41. NTO Israel is given to know the mysteries of the king- dom, as all scriptures are written for our learning and admonition upon whom the end has coirie. Therefore we are commanded to study to show ourselves approved unto God, a workman that needetlii not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the‘ word of truth; (2 Tim. 2-15;)—showing the scriptures are to be rightly divided. ‘In order to have‘ har- mony, we must rightly divide between the common salvation of the soul and the great redemption of spirit, soul and body. In the main there are three classes, viz., Jew, Gentile and the church of God, or the Israelites, to whom pertaineth the glory, the servicepof God, and the promises. Rom. 9-4. The scriptures plainly make the distinction between the three, in their times and seasons ;, as it is written, One shall say, I am the Lord’s; and another shall say, I am of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the Lord, and sur- name himself by the name of Israel. The Jews are they which say, We are of Jacob; the Gentiles say, We are the Lord’s—and so they are as touching the, salvation of the soul, which is a free gift of grace, being grafted in by faith, when the Jews were cut off through unbelief.- Therefore Paul said’ to the Gentiles, If God spared not 'the natural branches, (viz., the Jews,) take heed lest he spare not thee; and if you continue not in his goodness you also shall be cut off. Rom. 11-21, 22. When the Son of Man Shall Come, He Shall Render Unto Every Man According As His Works Shall Be. Matt. 16-27. SEEING great Christendom of the Gentiles have not con- tinued in the goodness of God in righteousness, their ' fulness having come, they shall be cut oil’, and Israel grafted in for the redemption of the body; which will fulﬁll the scrip- tures, Two parts shall be cut off and die,,and the third part shall be left therein. 'It is written, In that day Israel shall be the third, (Isa. 19-24,) and they shall be gathered and reﬁned as silver is reﬁned and tried as gold is tried; (Zech. 13-9;) and they shall see eye to eye when the Lord brings’ again Zion; (Isa. 52-8;)—which is not fulﬁlled in Jew and Gentile, for they do not see‘ eye to eye. Paul makes a dis- tinction between the two classes by saying, Give none offence to the Jew, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God— showing that neither Jew nor Gentile are the immortal church of God. We must also rightly divide between the three glories spoken of on this wise: There is one glory _'of the sun, and another of the moon, and another of the stars; showing that all do not receive the same glory. There is a hundred- fold, sixty-fold and thirty-fold glory; and is it not written, When the Son of man shall come he shall render unto every man according as his work shall be? Matt. 16-27. The nations receive the salvation of the soul, either'at the ﬁrst or ﬁnal resurrection. The ﬁrst receive the glory of. the moon——sixty—fold, made like unto the angels; and those who live not again till a thousand years are expired receive the glory of the stars——thirty-fold; of which we cannot speak particularly now. But those who are Israel, the elect, receive the glory of the sun, a hundred-fold ;' who by keeping the com- mandments of God and having the faith of Jesus Christ, will be made like him, by having their vile ‘bodies changed and fashioned like unto his glorious b.ody—ﬁrst having their blood cleansed, and then the change from mortal to immor- tality, without death or goingto the grave; as Paul said, Be- hold I show you a mystery, we shall not all sleep, but be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the sound of the last trump. I Pray God That Your Whole Spirit and Soul _and Body Be Preserved Blameless Unto the Coming of Our'Lord and Saviour. Jesus Christ. 1 Thess. 5-23. MAN is composed of three component parts,"viz., spirit, a soul and a body; and if he loses one of these parts can it be said of him that he has reached perfection? Can he be a spirit of just man made perfect? Heb. 12-23. There- fore let us prove by the Word of God that man isfthree parts, and give the destiny of the three parts of the ‘dead. It is written, The Word of God is quick and powerful, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit. Now if they are divided asunder are they not two separate and distinct parts? Therefore the scrip- tures show that the spirit goeth to God who gave it, (Eccl. 12-7,‘) and the body goes to the grave to rise no more, it being as‘water spilt upon the ground; (2 Sam. 14-14;) and Job says, As the cloudsare consumed and vanisheth away, so he that goeth down to the grave cometh up no more. Paul said, Thou sowest not that body that shall be, but God giveth it another body, as it pleaseth him. Then if that which is raised is not the same body, it proves to be another body. - - Now then, as the spirit goeth to God who gave it, and the body comes up no more, what is there to be raised?-—it remains to be the soul. And if the soul and spirit are the same thing, as many have it, and it goeth to God at death, then what would there be left to be raised? Absolutely nothing, according to that. But it would not be in harmony‘ with the scriptures, for it is written, In that day many that “- sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlast- ing life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 'J€5US also said, Marvel not at this, for the hour is coming, f" 5h“ which all that are in the grave shall hear his voice and C0m‘~’ forth~—some to everlasting life and some to shame and ever- lasting contempt. This, with many more clear proofs, shows the soul, which sleeps, shall come forth to be made like unto the angels——not sons, but the resurrection of the soul, reun- ited with the spirit, which he brings with him, gives them :1 spiritual body. This is a great glory, 115 it is Wfltteﬁi BlF55' ed and holy are they who have part in the ﬁrst resurrection, for on such the second death hath no power. Know Ye Not Ye Are the Temple of the H91)’ Ghost? 1 Cor_. 6-19. I THE little ﬂock, composed of 144,000 receive a much grezatflf glory, because they receive the full redemption of Spirit," soul, and body—a temple of ﬂesh and bone in which he can . be gloriﬁed. Therefore we have plainly shown that he IIIUSE have a bride who are to be made like him, whose body saw not corruption; and we are to have our vile bodies changed and fashioned like unto his glorious body, without death. The scriptures plainly teach the redemption of the body; but we have plainly shown that the bodies of all who die come up no more, therefore it must be attained unto this side of they grave—redeemed from among men, not from the grave; for it says, The grave cannot praise thee, death cannot celebrate, they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth; (Isa. 38-18;)—showing that there is a truth that cannot be hoped for by going to the grave. Therefore Paul said, It is sown in dishonor. And why? Because they reap the wages of sin, which is death to the body; and the sting of death is sin,“ __ ‘ (1 Cor. 15-56,) because it is turned over to Satan for the destruction of _the ﬂesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. » But God cannot be gloriﬁed in a deadtemple, therefore it is written that he is not the god.of the dead, but of the living. Luke 2o-38. And to this end Jesus said, All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers, because they havelrobbed God of the temple. "Know ye not that ye are the temple of the Holy Ghost? and it is written, He that defileth the temple, him will God destroy. If we sow to the ﬂesh, we shall of the ﬂesh reap‘ corruption. Now beloveds, ' where do they reap corruption? Is it ‘not in the grave? Lust when conceived bringeth forth sin, and sin when it is ﬁnished brings forth death. James 1-'15. But it is written, V The lust of the eye and the pride of life, etc., shall pass away, but he that doeth the will of my Father shall abide for ever. 1 John 2-17. We who are alive and remain—not the__ dead, but the living—-—shall not prevent them who sleep; for there shall be a resurrection of those who sleep. And there shall be a great innumerable host, a company that noiman can >' ‘ number, of all kindrreds, tongues and people,’ (that John saw , in vision,) who came up in the resurrection, having washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. — I Will Put My ‘Law Into Their Hearts, and In Their Minds Will I Write Them. Hebrews 10-16. NOW we wish to have you notice that these are of all kin- dreds and people, a great company that no man can, number; while thosewho are to be redeemed, spirit, soul and body, are very different, for they are of the house of Israel, and are numbered, 144,000, redeemed from among-men. They walk the straight and narrow path that leadeth to life. These are the sealed who keep the commandments of God and have the faith of Jesus, having their covenant with death disannulled, and their agreement with hell shall not stand.‘ ‘ Isa. '28-18. And they will have the new covenant put within their inward parts and stamped upon their minds, 1-..— —sealed unto himself.

Matt. 24-22. ‘T may be mentioned here thatvonly the eleventh hour ap- pears to be spoken of in the parable. Yet it does speak of the third, sixth, .ninth and the eleventh. Notez‘ first, ' second and third hour, that is three; and he came in the I third, sixth and ninth, the last part' of each three, except (the last time; and in this, instead of coming in the twelfth ' (which would be the third of the last quarter, like in the _ foregoing quarters) he came in the eleventh hour——showing one hour shortened, as he said, The time would be shortened for the elect’s‘sake, in order to_ save vﬂesh. The‘ second and third watch are spoken of in one case, and in the other statement the fourth watch is spoken of: If I come at even, or at midnight, or at cock-crowing, or in the morning; and . so joy cometh in the morning. Nevertheless, his coming was reckoned tobe in each_—which signiﬁes the visitation by the seven angels, as he is represented by angels, like it ~ said, God appeared to Moses in.the burning bush, and yet _, Paul said it was an angel; likewise, many other cases. So in this visitation the bush represents a man, for they are I called trees. Therefore this tree 'had a visitation of an angel sent from God like unto ﬁre, which did not consume tliebush. And as all is written for us upon whom the end has come, therefore in the second watch, John, as Moses, had aivisitation of an angel—called the ﬁfth angel which was to sound}: yet there were four going before, fulfilling that Word, If I come in the second watch. A prophet was to be raised up like [unto Moses; and he could not be raised up without a visitation. If I come in the third watch. So , he was represented by the sixth angel, or messenger; who ~ opened the third watch of the eleventh hour, and made the midnight cry, Behold, the Bridegroom cometh, go ye out to meet him !-—showing the next to follow was to be the , Bridegroom himself; but the Lord himself, who was to come with a shout, and with a voice of an archangel. Note! with the voice of an’ archangel and with the trump of God; and as Jesus said, As my Father sent me into the world, so send I you-—this signifies the Son of man, or Man-branch, or Second Child, who shall stand up in his stead. The — Man-branch is Shiloh‘. Christ rested on Jesus, and after- wards was put -wz'thz'rz him—-which was immortal life. This I Lord——Shiloh—‘—is the invisible spirit; as it Says, _He cometh without observation, and'with the voice of the Seventh Angel, by ‘whom the mystery shall be ﬁnished. He is of the fourth watch. “What I Do, Thou Knowest Not Now, But Thou Shalt Know Hereafter. John 13-7. THE midnight cry made by Jezreel was the middle part of the eleventh hour, therefore called the midnight cry, to prepare to meet him; and.like John, was a forerunner, to prepare the people for him who would come after. Therefore, 'B'ehold, (saith the sixth angel messenger of the third ._ warch,) the Bridegroom cometh‘; go ye out to meet him !—- signifying prepare, for he cometh quickly-. The cock-crow- ing was the time of the graft, just before the closing of the third watch and the opening of the fourth. This would be better understood by the “Extract” readers. In this I had better make a brief explanation of the foregoing stand- ard messengers, but would say here for the beneﬁt of new going messengers of this visitation, you will better understand hereafter-—like many things Jesus said to the disciples, and apparently speaking to them, said they should know hereafter. For instance: When he washed their feet he said, What I do now thou knowest not, but thou shalt know hereafter. As to the Master washing their feet, they surely knew and understood what he was doing, so far _as the I natural was concerned; but as it conveyed the washing and opening of the understanding of man, and knowing the i ,1». mysteries were sealed till the time of the end, (all being written for us upon whom the end has Come.) he thefeforﬁ ‘ said, What I do now thou‘ knowest not, but shall know hereafter—-signifying the understanding of the elect to be « » ' washed by waters of this visitation; and they should know ‘. and understand whatsoever things he said and did. He then i spoke in parables, to, be unsealed and understood now in this visitation, by the seven sounding angels spoken of in readers, this, like many other points pertaining to the fore-' ;.s , -1., » .- SHILOH’S MESSENGER or WISDOM Revelation. This might appear as a contradiction by this statement: Heaven was searched, and no man found worthy to open the book and loose the seals thereof but the Lion of the tribe of Judah; who prevailed with God and came forth and opened the book and loosed the seals thereof. My Sheep Know My Voice; and a Stranger They Will Not Follow. John 10-4, 5. NOW this opening of the book, which I have before ex- plained, was by Jesus the ﬁrstborn. But he closed it again and handed it to the ministers—because it was sealed from the Adamic, fallen man, who by nature cannot ﬁnd out the thingsof the Spirit. And now these seven angels are sent by the Lion of the tribe of Judah (in spirit), as he also 531d, If I go not away, the Comforter cannot come; but as he went to prepare_a place, he would come again—i. e., he would send, according to his Word, the seven angels to re- present him; as in his gloriﬁed, state (as John saw him in vision) no man could behold and approach unto him. Therefore, he would send these angels to sound in order, and represent him by his Word of truth; and when this Seventh Angel begins to sound—which is Gabriel the archangel— the mystery would be ﬁnished, as he hath declared to his servants, the prophets. , Therefore, I will further explain the words,of James Jezreel, the sixth angel messenger, ‘by whom the “Extracts of .the,Flying Roll” were ‘written; speaking of the Second Child, who would stand up in his stead——or Son of man, the Man-branch, Shiloh, unto whom the gathering of the people shall be——he said, (which stands on record to this day,) It is but a short time when the Second Child will stand up —not in Jew nor Gentile (Old House or Latter House), but in the Israel of God; (Extracts Ser. 2, p. 226;) and also said, The words of the LITTLE BOOK had not yet been written, but would be written in a few days (signifying years). But, said he, Assuredly before this third watch closes, [the .graft will alight; (Extracts Ser. 3, p. 160;) and this was the time of cock-crowing, and it was fulﬁlled; and, Lo, and behold, the Seventh Angel sounded and opened the fourth watch——which is considered the morning of his com- ing. And going before the dawn of the morning, or sunrise, the STAR or BETHLEHEM arose—the Star of the morning; the Day-star which should arise in your hearts and lead the wise men to the place of the holy, where the child spoken ‘of was fourid—the Man-branch———Shiloh, unto whom the gath- ering of the people shall be. Gen. 49-10. _ He that hath the Bride is the Bridegroom. Now as to the wise men, it says, The wise shall understand; and wisdom is justiﬁed of her children. Matt. 11-19. In the “Extracts of the Flying Roll” it says, In yon distant horizon the Star of Jacob arises to set no more——which was spoken and written in England; and looking in spirit across the murmuring sea inthe land of the free, he said, _In yon distant horizon the Star of Jacob arises, etc. Again, in their song, Hark!I thought it was his voice! Yes; it is his mournful cry across the muimuring sea, and these are the tones that sound so sweet to me; as Jesus said,’ My sheep know my voice, and a stranger (or a strange voice) they will not follow. . The Son of Righteousness Shall Arise With .Healing in His Wings. Malachi 4-2. NOW James, in speaking of the resurrection of Jesus, said, “If the Jews in their wisdom had understood the time of his rising, then they might have understood the time of his coming,” for that time had much to do with the hour and watches of his coming, or the rising of the living Word from the tombs of the law. And as the Word was made alive in him, so also it will ‘be made alive in his elect. But that time was sealed, and the tomb or stone in which he lay was sealed, and watchers placed to prevent his rising-——as they knew he foretold his rising on the third day. But to the watchers of the sealed tomb, about the time of the rising of the morning Star, preceding the glorious rising of the sun, lo, and behold, an angel with his glittering countenance descended, and the watchers at his presence fell as dead, andknew nothing of his. rising. The. great and mighty angel of light rolled the stone away, and the living body, by the living Word, arose triumphant. But where were the witnesses‘? There were none but the holy and great angel of light and truth, and the spirits of the just who always accompanied him. The watchers of the tomb fell as dead, and the disciples were not on time; and when they arrived, he had already risen. Notwithstanding, they saw the angels, and afterwards they saw him--both in a spiritual body and a natural immortal body of ﬂesh and bone; in which he both taught and showed forth the kingdom of God, which was in his temple. . . There are many things about this to be said, but I have made mention of this in order to show the times and seasons that the Lord hath put in his own power; to be revealed now in this visitation, as he doeth nothing, but he revealeth, etc., which is ,according to his promise by that Spirit of truth which should guide us in the way of all truth and show us things to come. John 16-13. ,In the parable before us, we have only the eleventh hour with its four watches—2o years and io months in each watch. Therefore he spoke of these four watches of his coming—-at even, midnight, cock-crowing and in the morning; and therefore joy cometh in the morning-- as all nature shows when the beautiful and glorious sun rises and sheds forth its rays of light and life. And so it is written, The Son of righteousness shall arise with healing in his wings. Mal. 4-2. But this we wish you to notice: Publlehod at Benton Harbor. Mlchldlﬂy 0- 3- 5‘ ” Jesus said, Are there not twelve hours ‘of 8 C131’? and "W3 this: All laborers received their wages in the eleventh hour of the sixth day, or sixth thousand years; for a day; is With the Lord as a thousand years. Therefore the twel th hour is shortened for the elect’s sake. And pertaining to his coming His reward is with him and his work before him, to give‘ every man according as his work shall be. Matt. 16-27.‘ Therefore, as I have shown, the supposed laborers of the foregoing time, from the beginning of the daY 3“ ' which he goeth ofit early, (which is Jesus at his first coming for the soul,) are reckoned as a penny. But the“? 15 3 different and a deeper sense in which these laborers now enter the vineyard of the Lord, and time of harvest and reaping; as shown in another parablée, The angels are the reapers. M - ;R . i -i ,1 . ‘ - attlifsaicigtherelparalilesit is shown to be the same: The ﬁeld—the world; the seed——the Word of God; the rares- the children of the wicked one. But the deeper mystery of this was sealed—which was the tares sown by the enemy, the devil, as I have before shown. These tares are the evil in the blood‘; and the good wheat, the seed to whom the promise was made—which has been ‘handed down in the loins - of the Adamic world, or children of the wicked one; who by nature are born in sin and shapen in iniquity. Thei‘e- . fore both had to grow together till this the time of the great harvest; when he would send his angel messengers, as reapers, to gather in one the family of God, and separate the tares from the wheat, and gather the wheat ‘into the barn. The sowers and the reapers of the Word of God are as laborers. So it is written, The reapers shall overtake the sowers, and both shall rejoice together. ’ The Elect Receive__ the Two Pence, As They Sing the Song of Moses and the Lamb—Law and Gospel. Luke 10-35; Rev. 15-3. OW there is another consideration of these laborers of the fourth watch of the eleventh hour, and that is this:_ The aliens of mount Esau, and the elect. Another considera- tion to be made, and so apt to be overlooked, is the steward of this vineyard whom the Lord of the vineyard has sent. Jesus is the Lord of the vineyard, who said, he would send “He” the Spirit of truth, ‘and that he would stand up in , his stead as steward of the vineyard of the Lord. And you ‘will see this in most all the ‘parables; which is most always overlooked, rendering many things hard to be understood. This steward spoken of is the Son of man or Second Child, Man-‘branch, Shiloh, unto whom the gathering of the people shall be; and who does the paying off, beginning with the last back to the ﬁrst—-—as the ﬁrst shall be last, and the last first, etc. This steward is. but the "beginning, and shall be followed up by the whole 144,000 ~"elcct——just stewards of their own bodies, under him whom he sends, and saith, ‘If ye accept not him whom I send, ye accept not me who sent him; and so accept not the Father of all pertaining to life and immortality. These stewards (or elect) areas one in Christ; and are_ to be priests and kings, and shall judge the nations, who labor and shall bring their honor and glory into this great immortal city of God, consisting of 144,000 lively ‘ stones and living bones of the man Christ—the Lord of. the vineyard of God. They therefore, like Jesus their pattern and waymark, shall ﬁrst become laborers. also, as a servant of God; and as it says of Jesus, our pattern and waymark, He took the form of a servant—meek and lowly; and we are to do the work that he did, and greater works than these shall we do——laboring to enter into that sabbath of rest that yet remaineth for the people of God. This is the mystery of the laborers of the vineyard: Male and female created he them, and therefore the two make the two pence—law and gospel made alive. The aliens receive a Ptnny—-the righteousness of the law; and shall live in the law, which is but a penny as reward; yet will ﬁnish their course, and labor in the end for the other penny — —in the eleventh hour of the seventh day or sabbath of rest. Then they will be made immortal——t.he perfect man; and that in part shall be done away. So the above parable, like otherscriptures, is to be rightly divided, and the keys used. In this I have brieﬂy shown the different classes—laborers, and reckoned laborers, yet under the free gift of grace without works, lest any man should boast; (Eph. 2-9;) all receiving a penny as reward——the soul salvation; raised as angels; . neither male nor female. Matt. 22-30. But as to living people, the next class under consideration is the aliens, male and female—yet a mortal life by the righteousness of the law as a penny; a partial redemption, as we have already proved; to receive the other penny ‘at the end by the gospel ——an immortal life as reward for labor. The elect receive .316 EWAO PCUCC DOW. in this the visitation of God, as they 5mg The 509% Of Moses and the Lamb. These are chosen now. Notice: In the closing of the parable it says," Many are called, but few are chosen. This shows the difference (as we have shown in other parts of our literature) between the many—the ‘great host who are called-—and the few who are chosen, which IS’ the little flock, which are the elect like Jesus—chosen, elect, and precious; and are numbered‘ 144, 000 virgins of Israel; the general ’ assembly and church of the first- born; Christ being head of the ' church and Saviour of the body. ‘ Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God him. self shall be with them, and be their God. Rev. 21-3

Therefore we must rightly divide between the life of the body for his elect, and the soul sal- vation for both Jew and Gentile, through and by faith. The atonement was made for the soul; and the spirits of the just were kept back till the time and day of i'isitation——this time being shortened for the elect’s sake in order to save them alive, and redeem them. spirit, soul and body. Therefore, and to this end, all are written for us upon whom the end has come—whiCh is a key; and another key is, He takes things that be not, to bring to nought the things that are. I Cor. i-28. Therefore, as Adam was a type and a ﬁgure of him who was to come, the old World of Adam Cilmc in and is on trial tirst. Wages Of Sin Is Death; But In the Way of Righteousness Is Life. ’ Rom. 6-23; Prov. 12-28. O\V as you have often heard the old sayings among the Gentiles; “Dust to dust,” and “It is appointed unto all men to die," without looking into the cause :. so we will now begin with Adam, and see what saith‘ the scriptures, and ﬁnd W, the cause of death, and if it is God’s will. lhe 56,.-,,,,.,,,-95 say, It was through the sin of oneman that death entered the world.

Then‘ when'you mention the mystery, and show it was sin that caused the ‘death of the body, they deny their first statement, and clhim it is a spiritual death. But let it be known. Godimade not. death, and willeth not the death of any man.‘ Therefore he gave the command to Adam, and said that in -the event of trans- gression, he should die, and his body return to dust from whence it was taken. Now tell me: H. the n'ot sinned, would he have died‘? No; of course not: And as death passed upon all, it was becauseall have sinned, and come .r}zor1 of the glory of God——which glory was to.be the life of the body, soul and spirit. ' Therefore Jesus came in due time and‘ made the atone- ment for the souls of men who had died, and who would afterwards die; and therefore Adam was only’ called a living soul; but as to the body, in Adam all die, because of sin, as we have before proved. As to the life of the body, it was still taught; and Enoch walked with God, and God took him alive, that he might not see death. In the second dispensation, Elijah and others went to spirits of just men made perfect, without suffering the loss of part of themselves. Jesus, for the living in this the time of the end, came to abolish death, and to destroy him who had power of death. which is the devil, and to bring life and immortality to light through the gospel; which teaches the life of the body —to be made immortal. As I have quoted, In Adam all die—which means all who sin, as before proved; but will also quote, In Christ all are made alive, but every man in his own order. Most all will admit that there was no evil in Jesus; and this being true, how much more would no evil dwell in Christ? \Vel1, as this thing is true, then how could men who have evil. dwell in Christ. as all claim? And thev go further Still. and claim that Christ dwells in them —:ind yet claim death, and death claims them. Now can death reign in Christ‘? Paul said, Let not sin reign in your mortal body. VVell then, to those who obey this, how could death reign‘? or how could it claim them‘? The wages uf sin is death, and the sting of death is sin.

Believest Thou This? I ; John 11-26., I JESUS said, If a man keep my saying, he. shall never see death; and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall) never die; (John 11-26;)—that is, to believe in him as the scripture hath said. John 7-38. Jesus said, If a man believe in : me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall ﬂow .- rivers of living water; and it shall be in him a well of watcf springing up into everlasting life. Jesus possessed this; yet on the cross be said, I thirst. Nevertheless, afterwards he showed an immortal body, and the well of living water was in him; and‘ he said, Blessed are they who hunge and thirst after righteousness for they shall be ﬁlled.

Christ sacriﬁced, and Jesus was willing for the _, dom’s,sake-though his sufferings were" great, and. his went as great drops of blood; and he said, If it be possible, ct this cup pass (which means to say, if it be possible, let death pass). Nevertheless, not my will, but thinebe done. Therefore he willingly submitted to it. Now when Christ withdrew on the cross-—or, separated from the body to admit eath-—Jesus cried out, Why hast thou forsaken me‘? This if shows clearly the difference between Jesus and Christ. And why did Jesus think he had forsaken him, when beforehand e foretold of his own death and his resurrection again? In answer to this we ask you to remember that Christ was the '1 light and the life and- the knowledge; and no doubt Jesus , expected Christ to remain on the body. “have died while Christ remained on the body, for he was the ‘life. Therefore when Christ departed from the body, was not that the fulﬁllment of Christ laying down the life, and But Jesus could not making the sacriﬁce, and afterwards taking it up again‘? Therefore, when be separated from the body, that was one death; as death is a separation. But there were two deaths, ‘ nd also two resurrections in that case, as I will proceed to In this we » SHILOH’S MESSENGER OF WISDOM '— Show. Christ rested upon h’ at Jordan, and remained upon him; so Jesus said in the slyliiagogue, The spirit of the Lord is upon me——mark! not in me, but upon me. Therefore this spirit Christ, which was upon him, separated on the cross, and then JESUS Cfiﬁd Out, My God, why hast thou forsaken me‘? which fulﬁlled the word of the prophet, who said, He hid his face for amoment. Isa. 54-8. Afterwards, Jesus died by his own spirit separating from the body; and that was the two ‘deaths. But this was not like other deaths, when they reap the wages of sin, which is death; and who go to corruption; nor was Jesus laid in the grave, to be consumed by a ﬁre not blown; nor was he turned over to Satan for the destruction _of the flesh, for it says, His ﬂesh saw not corruption. They put him in a new tomb of stone, whereqio man had lain; and intended to bury him after the Sabbath, but found him not in‘ thetomb, for he had been taken up by Christ, who said, I lay it down and take it up again; (John 10-18;) and all _ watchers placed to guard, or that could have been on guard, could not have hindered his rising. Jesus the Firstfruits of Them That Slept. 1 Cor. 15-20. NOW_as I have already made mention of two resurrections, . ’ ,. I will explain and also prove it, or put such as question it in a corner. As I have already proven two deaths, it gives a clear understanding of how it was done—remembering that the spirit of Jesus was Michael; shown in scriptures to be the head counsel z1gainst'Satan. So Christ, the spirit of God: first separated; and that accoimts for the scriptures which say, Christ died—whieh means, Christ separated from the body, and from Jesus’ spirit. ‘Afterwards, Jesus gave up the Ghost—which was Michael, his‘own,spirit, separating from the body. Jesus had a,.§ojil; as man has a spirit, soul and a body. Now, did his souléremain with the body and go to /the tomb? Some say, Yes; and quote, to ‘substantiate it, the Psalmist David, who,’ forespeaking of Jesus, said, Thou wilt not leave my Soul in hell, nor suffer thine Holy One to‘ see corruption. All right then; we would ask, Do the Gentiles claim the _tomb to be hell ‘éi No, verily not. All right then; that passage does not say, Thou wilt not leave my soul in the grave. Therefore they cannot apply this to mean that Jesus’ soul went to the tomb arid was raised with the body. .It says this, as I will quote again, Thou wilt not leave my_soul in hell, nor suffer thine Holy One to_see corruption. It is true his body went to the new tomb, but it did not fee corruption. Acts 2-31. ‘ _ _ - ’ But where was that‘ hell spoken of‘——viz., that he should not leave his soul in _hg_:ll? At any rate, let us proceed .to show the resurrection ofboth soul and body at different times. Now notice: His soul was raised a spiritual body; with which he went and preached toithe disobedient spirits in prison, who had died in disobedience when the longsiiffering of God waited in the days of -Noah. This was while his body lay in the new tomb; which was also raised afterwards, in the third day,, with which he showed himself alive, spirit, soul and body-. Now let me ask, Was Jesus the first-fruits_ of jthem thatfslept? Yes. The scriptures-isay so. 1 Corinthians 5- 20. Notice: VVhile’ Jesus wasion the cross, manybiodies of the saints arose, and were seen. Now then, if Jesus’ soul did not arise till on the third day, how could he ‘have been the ﬁrst-‘ fruits of them that slept? First-fruits, remember, is he who rises first; and we know his body did not arise till in the third day; \’s'l'TllC these saints arose at the cruciﬁxion—before the body of Jesus arose. So if his soul did not rise till the body did, then you would have it that these saints were the ﬁrst-fruits of the dead, instead of Jesus; and this will not do, for the(s,criptu’res"-say, Jesus was the ﬁrst-fruits of the dead,’- or of therri'that,;slep't.' Therefore we must conclude that -his soul afose and wasiquickened on the cross‘. He Was‘the‘Resurr'ectio1i of the _ , , Dead,‘ and’ _.~t_he Lifeifor the Living.‘ _John 11,-25;, , , I.IELL,;th_erefo1'e, is death in this case; as it says,~Thou w-ilt not leave my soul ,-in“hell (or death). in speakingof hell callsfit the second death. . Rev. 20-14; 21-8. So in this cﬁise’ of the soul of Jesus, it was poured’ out unto death. Thiswas not the blood, as -some have it, as the’, blood is the blossom ofvtlie soul. But remember,‘ it says,‘ Out of his side c'a'me“blood,and WATER. ,The water was the soul life. Therefore he poured out his soul unto death. But it was not left in death, but quickened byhis spirit; and so it was a resurrection of soul on the\cross, making him the ,ﬁrst- fruits of them that slept. After that, the saints arose, and were seen by the opening of the vision of living people, who saw them. Matt. 27-52, 53. And so it shows Jesus was baptized for the dead, and therefore baptized into death for the souls of the dead ; and Christ raised the body on the third day, and was ﬁrst-fruits of the living——the resurrection of the dead, and the life for the living; as in Adam all die, but in Christ all are made alive, but every man in his own order. Therefore it says, If the spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, then the spirit of him that raised up Christ from the dead (i. e., the body) shall quicken your mortal body. Now, as it says, “Christ died,” so also it says, Christ was raised from the dead—in the manner in which I have explained. If Christ being separated from the body is "death, so Christ being united again in the body, what is that but Christ being raised from the dead? Notwithstand- ing, Christ cannot die——is without beginning of days, or end of life———but can only die in the sense in which I explain. He can separate from a body. and reunite again. So it says, As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead. James 2-26. Therefore, in Christ (the spirit) all are made alive, by proving their faith by their works; and we must do the works that Jesus did, and greater works. We must be crucified with him for‘the I In.

Rom. 12-1. Abraham’s Sacriﬁce. Present Your Bodies a Living Sacriﬁce—a Reasonable Service. Rom. 12-1. THEREFORE, here is where the Abraham sacriﬁce comes in with us. How? In order to explain this part of Abraham’s sacriﬁce pertaining to us, would ﬁrst say: Isaac could not be accepted—only the obedience of Abraham, and Isaac’s willingness. And so it is written, I will have a willing people in the day of my power. But noticel A ram was found caught in the thicket, and slain instead of the lad. What was this a ﬁgure of? Not Jesus; for he was not a ram. He was called a lamb, and had no evil; whereas Israel are all born‘ in sin and shapen in iniquity, and therefore have the Adamic evil in the blood, to be cleansed. Therefore the ram was a ﬁgure of the evil—denot- ing lust to be slain; and so the lad was let go free. But as to offering up our ﬁrstborn, diat is to give up all evil, and overcome the world, the devil and the ﬂesh. The firstborn was Cain—who was a ﬁgure of the evil, as Cain slew Abel. Therefore the evil one has been rising up and slaying all, from that day to this, except the witnesses who slew the evil, and were redeemed from sin and death. Cain was the ﬁrstborn and ﬁrst-fruits of the crime of Adam. 'l‘herefqi:,e in Adam—or his works——all die; but now, Israel, like Seth, , who was given in Abel’s stead, will slay Cain, the firstborn, in every man. Now in case you may not altogether under- stand this, will say: Every man in his ﬁrst birth, by nature, is born of blood, with the evil in the blood; and therefore he is called the strong man, and the man of sin. This type was shown down the line in Jacob and Esau, and Jesus and Judas, etc. Yet, we must remember, No prophecy of the scripture is of a private. interpretation. :,. We, like Abraham, most raise the knife and be willing to sever all connections with the world, the devil and the /ﬂesh, in obedience to God’s VVord. ‘Then the ram will be slain. Evil cannot‘ be an acceptable sacriﬁce; but con- fession, willingness and obedience are acceptable; as it says, ,Obedience is better than sacriﬁce. Now this may be a parable to some. Notwithstanding all are well acquainted ’ with that quotation, it has more than one meaning. Jesus was made a sacriﬁce for the sou1_salvation—a free gift without works.. ‘But obedience is better. And why‘? Be- cause obedience obtains the'~life of the body, while the sacriﬁce was only a free gift for the soul. Notwithstanding this, what good wouldisacriﬁce out'wardly‘.do—tl1'0,ugh, you would sacrifice all you possess in worldly goods—if obedience to the law of»Christ was notfound? Paul said, Though charity (which is Christ) was not fDiind;?7wliioli must be found .'by obedience. And so Israel will? reﬁleeined with out sacriﬁce ofrbird 0'1‘:-’beast. They ‘W, ndéi‘ obedience; as Jesus said, If "you love me you wi'll"k"cep my command- ments—sacriﬁcing all evil, and presenting your bodies a living sacriﬁce, HOLY, which is your reasonable service; if deﬁled would be destroyed? - ‘ Seek _Ye First the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness, and All Things Shall -.

AS MY FATHER SENT ME INTO THE WORLD, S0 SEND 1 YOU. JOHN 20-21. WHOSOEVER RECEIVETH THIS CHILD IN MY NAME RECEIVETH ME. Luke 9-48. , N Israel’s literature will be found the substance of the scriptures rightly divided; giving harmony to all ap- parent contradictions and revealing the mysteries hitherto sealed. Remember, the book was sealed with seven seals, and sealed till the time of the end. Notwithstanding, it says, Heaven was searched, and no man found worthy to open the books and loose the seals thereof, but the Lion of the tribe of Judah, who prevailed with God, and opened the book and loosed the seals thereof; but it was sealed again till the time of the end, or day of visitation. Notice: The prophets, forespeaking of the disciples of Jesus, said, Bind up the testimony and seal the law among my disciples. But it was unsealed, and understood by Jesus only; and therefore he brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. But after he was rejected, and they put it away from them, and said they would not have this man Jesus to rule over them, and chose a robber and a murderer instead, the mystery of life was sealed till the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. As the Jews condemned him, and I -would not come unto him for life, they were cut off from the I life of the body, and the Gentiles grafted in for the soul ‘ ;, salvation——a free gift of grace without works———till their ' fulness. Rorri. ii-25. ‘Jesus the Lion of the Tribe of Judah Opened » the Book. Rev. 5-5. - JESUS, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, opened the book, and said, The spirit of the Lord is upon me, etc. But _ notice: He closed it again, and handed it to the ministersf signifying, that although he opened it, and understood it, ‘yep he closed it again, and sealed it up till the time ‘and , of visitation, when the angel would be sent by the Lion of ~'the tribe of Judah with the Little .Book open in his hand-——signif’ying unsealed again, to be understood -by Igrael, :6 whomthe promise was made; the promise being the redemption of our body. Therefore the mysteries will now be understood by those who eat the Little Book; and ." although it will be sweet in the mouth, it shall be bitter in I the belly when the purging takes place, and the great sep- aration from the world, the devil and the ﬂesh, and all things pertaining to the old world. I will now call your attention ‘to this fact‘: The Gentiles claim to understand the scrip- ~. tures, and deny it being sealed; and at the same time will ‘I ‘claim. No one shall know—pertaining to his second coming. If this be true, it proves it_ is sealed from them. As prophets, they claim no one shall know——not even the angels nor, the son. But it does not say, “No one shall know ;” but signp- itures teachto the ontrury, as I will proceed to prove. This is the quotation: As to that Cl‘.l_\' rind hour, no one knoweth; not even the angels, etc. It was speaking then, at that time, .snyind, No one knoweth; but does not say, No one shall ever knosvtj {This proves what we sz1y—th:it it Cvas sealed ‘at the time it was said, No one knoweth; and sealed till the time of the end.

This is a proof that it is sealed from them; and without a vision the people perish. But the vision is for an appointed Elms}; and at the end it shall speak and not lie; for that Spirit of truth, the testimony of Jesus, will not lie. The Spirit (called the Holy Ghost) at Pentecost was given to bring in the Gentiles for the soul—a free gift; by which they saw in part; but now, in this the day of visitation, the Spirit of truth—that OTHER Comforter which the world cannot receive——-shall be received by Israel, God’s elect. This Spirit of Truth the World Cannot Receive. John 14-17. a NOW notice again: The Gentiles claim to be converting the WORLD, and say they receive the spirit—seeing no difference in the two. If this be true, that they are con- verting the world, then they (the world) could receive it; or how could they be converted? But contrary to this, the world cannot receive this Spirit of truth. And besides all this, we would have to question their story about converting the world; for Jesus said,‘ As in the days of Noah, and as in the days of Lot, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man; and Noah, you know, did not convert the world. Besides all this, they strive for the ascendency in number; and claim altogether that they are converting the world, and boast of their great numbers. Now, if we take them on their own claim it proves they are not God’s elect—his chosen few. Why? Because these are a few, and not the great host; and these are numbered, i44,ooo—which is very differ- ent to their claim of their great numbers. However, as to the soul salvation, that is sure, either at the first or ﬁnal resurrection. Therefore I will again brieﬂy show‘ the difference in those of resurrection, and the elect to be made immortal like Jesus. Notice: John the Revelator speaks of them as a great innumerable host—a great company that no man can number, of all kindreds, tongues and people; who are raised as angels; while the elect—to be sons of God redeemed from among‘ men—are numbered. The greatlhost cannot be numbered; but God’s elect find the straight and narrow path, and a few there be that ﬁnd it—not ‘a great host. These few are numbered, 144,000-—redeemed from among men. These are virgins, who sing the song of Moses and the Lamb; and no one could sing that song but the 144,000. The Difference Between the Elect and the Great Host. Rev. 7, 3-1‘0. NOW as this is fully explained in former writings, I will simply brief a few points, to impress upon your minds the difference in this elect, and the great host. The elect are to be gathered, prepared and redeemed, body, soul and spirit, to be made like Jesus; of whom he is firstborn. and their pattern and waymark, these being sons of God yet to be revealed; while these of resurrection—.the great host— are to be angels, and are not called sons; and in_resurrection they neither marry nor are giyen in marriage, but are as the angels. In anotherkplace it says, They are equal to angels— not equal to the son; and it also says, They are neither male nor female. And not being male nor female, but as angels, and no marrying nor giving in marriage, therefore th€y have no part in the marriage of the Lamb. But you see, Jesus Christ is called the Bridegroom‘; and was a male of the first year—made in the image and likeness of God, and retained his body of ﬂesh and bone; and he must have a bride like him. And so he comes the second time to them who look for him without sin unto salvation, and to receive his bride. Therefore their vile body must be changed and fashioned like unto his glorious body. _ Now you have no doubt heard the Gentiles sing of the marriage of the Lamb; but they do not uﬂderstand it. If they are born of God, and the spirit of,God in ' them, and they get married, or are married,‘ why would not that be the marriage. of the Lamb? And if so, why should theystill look for the marriage of the Lamb,~and for his .coming to receive his bride? Again: If the Holy Ghost is in*the_m, why do they cry out for God to send it? And if Jesus Christ is the same, and they hai/e him in ,th‘em,'.why do they look for deat"h,,when it says, In Christ all are made alive‘? Then how much more if he is in them‘? Why then do they want to die, when ,God willeth not the death of any\man‘? And if Jesus Christ came to do God’s will— who takes no pleasure in the death of him that 'dieth—-—why then are they doingcontrary to his will and at the same time claim him to be in them‘? We understand that Jesus came to do God’s will; and therefore came to abolish death, and to destroy him who hath powerof death, which is the devil. Therefore, if he is in them, why is not death abolished in them? And as death abides in them, how could Christ, of light and life, abide in them? Light and’ darkness hath no communion. , Now look and see wliiit it says? Flesh_;ind blood cannot inherit the kingdom; but ﬂesh and bone can, as that was shown in Jesus, who showed a body of ﬂesh and bone, which did not see corruption. Therefore h"e was born not of blood; for the blood was taken away on the cross, and the ‘spirit of God took its place—which was immortality. X ow. how could a man be born of God, and made like him, and possess the kingdom, till his blood is cleansed End-washed ziwiiy. whicli is the in_\';<tery of godliness, God manifest in the ﬂesh? This is mortal putting on_immortalit_\'. at the sound of the last truziip: Whicii is the trump of God. He comes with the ioice of 1m :ircli:1iigel——tlie Sen-iith Angel .\Iessen;_rer, with the trump of God, i. e.. who speaks the VVor,d of God, which was with God, and which was God, and which took -the Second Child, that shall stand up in his stead¢—i. e., in upon itself ﬂesh and dwelt among men. The Word of 1111: must be made alive in us, and therefore no death can tla occasion. To live after the ﬂesh we shall die; W‘ W ‘:1’: after the spirit, we do mortify and crucify the d€€d5 0f t 9 body of the old man Adam, with its affections and‘l11S€.5a“ that the body of sin might be destroyed, and Christ ll‘/5 1“ us Therefore, this great ingatliering is ‘for those who can see the life of the body, and are willing to do. the Work; who must first comply with the scriptures pertaining to the ingathering and restoration, i. e., first to come out from the world (Egypt, and Babylon); which‘ could not be fulfilled.’ till the great ingathering began. " H ‘ ' c There are many, however, teaching and crying out. “Come out from this great Babylon,” and at the same time build up a part of her. And many tear down, but offer nothing better than the same old confusion and sickening mixture of death. Most any jack carpenter can tear down-- . but it takes a good‘ carpenter and -stone worker to build up. In a great house there are many materials to build with-- . wood, hay and stubble; silver, gold and precious stones. 1 Corinthians 3-i2. ' I Will Utter Things Kept Secret From the“ Foundation of the World. Matt. 13-35. THEREFORE, you must study to show yourself_ ap- proved unto God, a WORKMAN that needeth not tqbe . ashamed, rightly ‘dividing the word of truth. 2 Tim. 2-15. John the Revelator, on the Isle of Patmos, heard the utterings of seven thunders, and was about to write; and it was said, I Seal up the things and write them not. And why? Be- cause the VVord was sealed till the time of the end, as we have proven. Though Jesus said, I will utter things which‘ have been kept secret from the foundation of the world, still he spake in proverbs and in parables, because it was sealed till the time of the end——-till the spirits of the just should "' come, the seed to _.whom the promise was made. There- fore it says, All is written for us upon whom the end has? come, and that the interpretation would be 'given by the Interpreter who was spoken of to comepin this the day of; visitation. The seven thunders (Rev. lo-3) uttering the voices was typical of the seven sounding angels of this via tion; now to be interpretedby the promised Interpreter, is written, If there be a messenger, an Interpreter, one am ., a thousand, then be-gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver S from going down into the pit, I have found a ransom; hr ﬂesh shall become fresher than that of a child’s: and he shal return to the days of his youth. Solomon speaks of him, said mg,‘ I considered all the living which‘ walk under the sun Wi stead of Jesus; as ‘Jesus said, If yeaccept not him who ‘ send, you accept not me. It was said to the Jews, I I’ lieve in Moses, why not believe in me, for he wrote 0' , So also now we say to both Jew and Gentile~—and especial the Gentiles, who say they believe in Jesus-—-Why not believ in me, for he wrote of me‘?

Therefore he brought the ppointment of death .in upon himself; as it says, It was " ugh the sin of one man that death came into the world _ eath‘p_assed.u,pon all because all have sinned.

Again it says, y the sin of one man death panic; and so by the r2'.g}2teou.r1ze:5 of one man comes the resurrection of the dead. Nevertheless, the ﬂaming swords f death cut them off. so it is written, There ‘is a way jseems right unto man, but the way thereof is death. ail: claims all who sin in Adam. , Yet notwithstanding, the one. man comes the resurrection of soul czfzer deat/2. erefore .the way of the soul salvation seems right, yet erway thereof is death; for had there been no death by there could not have been a resurrection of the dead; ,d "Jesus would not have died for —the dead,‘ had there no Adam of death.

Heb. 12-23; Rev. 14-3, 4; Matt. 6-10. "V we havebefore shown,'Ada_m desired his immortal jnheritance to be divided, 1 and so he fell and re- ccivedv a mortal’ inheritance, subject to. sin and death; and el.now' come in as _the prodigal—1n ﬂefllv but mt "1 spirit. Now cduld Jesiis—the"ﬁrstborn of these—-be the I der who complained? ‘The reason the elect could not be the odigal in spirit, is because their spirits never desired their in ritance. to divided, and never left their Fathers use. These spirits of the just did Gods will in heaven,_ and so will do it in earth as in heaven. Thesespirits of the just-—tlie i44,ooo—stood loyal to the union of the Godhpad in spirit, and were kept back from taking bodies in birth till this the time of the end——these the 1.335 days of Daniel. It was these he ioreknew and did predestinzite toibe conformed to the images of his son; bill 115 the)’. '“ these last times have taken bodies——by conception and birth ' born in sin and shapen in iniquity, being subject to vanity‘ because of the'evil in the blood, and by nature sinners—— according to this, they may be considered as the prodigal son’ and the aliens also, because the prodigal (note.) was spoken of as a son when he returned. and not ziii angﬁl; *0!‘ angels are not called sons——yet sons are called angels, some- , times; being both angels and sons, the likeness and image; made like’ Jesus. But as touching the dead, they lose the . Therefore, in resurrection, the soul is united with it the spirit, forming :1 spiritual l)ody——a likeness, called angels, and not sons; for, To which of the angels said he at any time, “Thou art my son; this day have I begotten thee?” And yet, because they once had a body, as Adam, they were called a prodigal, who desired his inheritance to be divided, and his living that falleth to him; who wasted it by riotous living and were no more virgins; as it says, The old world has lost its youth; and they can only return as angels in resurrection. But out of the Adamic race returns .the elect and aliens, for the life of the body——the aliens being aliens to the law of Christ, by which they are made immortal when a thousand years are expired, etc. The children who are to be born in the millennial Sabbath day of ‘a thousand years———i. e., they who are born in the kingdom, being now in spirit—-—at the time these prodigals return, complain, saying, You never gave me a kid that we might rejoice——as it speaks of angels (or spirits) desiring the inheritance of man. Besides this, these spirits are the elder in spirit; as it speaks of the former Sabbath of the former cycle, as the elder world; and these were kept back for the Sabbath kingdom—-who never sinned, and therefore had nothing to repent of-; nor did Jesus have to make the atone- ment for them; nor could they be as the prodigal. Spirits of the Just Who Were Kept Back Till This the Day and Time of Visitation, Sent Into the World That They Might Testify Unto the Truth. Heb. 12-23; 1 Peter 2-12; 3 John 1-3. JESUS suffered and died for sinners and a world that was lost, that they through him might’ be found, and savedfrom their sins and from their lost condition. Where there is no law, there is no transgression of the law. There- fore there was a law given to Adam, which was trans- gressed, and which therefore was sin; and the sting of death .15 SUI, (1 Cor. 15-56,) and the wages of sin is death. Therefore good and evil, life and death, were set before Adam and-the Adamic world. And why? Because, before Adam’s fall, and before the old world came into existence, there was war'in heaven—-which was before the paradisical Sabbath came in, which was in the former cycle. And there was six thousand years of it; and in the sixth day (of a \thousand years) Satan was bound (the evil power) and man made in theimage and likeness of God; and the Sabbath was the seventh day of a thousand years, in which God did rest. He sanctified and blessed that holy day, and the shortened time which was borrowed from the sixth day (in which shortened time man was made immortal, nished, made in God’s own image and likeness) was given back in the closing part of the seventh, in which Adam transgressed and fell from his immortal state to mortal.‘ Then the old world, which then followed, rolled in with a mortal world of sin and death; and this accounts for the statement, “God ended his work on the seventh day.” Yet it shows in the seventh day" he rested; but the Work of finishing took place in the shortened time of the seventh. And during the seventh, Lucifer was a bright and choice cherub—an0inted cherub of Eden——until iniquity was found in him. Notice ‘this: He was anointed cherub of Eden when the Sabbath day of a thousand years was blooming in bliss, and in its‘ Eden state. Therefore war 'broke out again in that shortened ,‘time in the end, during the twelfth hour, hnd Lucifer. inﬂuenced Gadrel, the most subtil beast of ‘the ﬁeld that old serpent, called the devil and Satan. Rev. 12-9. i He by his subtility beguiled Eve, and he sowed the tares (which was the enemy) while Adam slept———as a deep sleep was caused toicome upon Adam, which was the withdrawal of the spirit of Paradise. Eve, after being se- duced by the serpent-man,‘ handed it to Adam, and he did eat (or partook of hat which was forbidden); and so he fell, and became subject to death; as God said, In the day" ye eat thereof .ye«shall surely die; ,(Gen. 2-17 ;)—this being a day'of a thousand years, in which he did die and his body returned to the dust from whence he wasitaken. Gen. 3-19. This was the first day after theiseventh; and there were to be_s,ix days (of a thousand years eaqh) of the fallen world; and the thing that has been “shall be again, and God requireth ' the thing which is past. Thereforewe have again reached the ‘closing’ and shortened time of tlTe‘s'r;rth day; in which Jesus said he would shorten thetime for the elect’s sake or no ﬂesh would be saved, but for the elect’s sake he hath- shorteiied the days. Matt. 24-22. The'refore,'beginning with Adam of the old world of sin and death, it was said, He declared the end from the beginning. Therefore all is written for us upon whom the end has come—7—for this the day of visitation and the time of judgment, when he will judge the quick and the dead. 2 Tim. 4-1. It is called the great and no/able Elay of the Lord, and the great and dreadful duy—a time in which all shall give an account of the deeds done in the body; when the great ingathering and time of harvest is taking place; when the prodigals shall return in their diiferent_,spheres of life and in their order; and a time when the lost sheep will be found, and great rejoicing among the children of God——a time of restoration and redemption of the children of Israel; and soon to be a time of the resurrection, when all prisoners shall be set free in their order, and Israel released from the bondage of corruption, into the glorious liberty of the children of God— for the l. of the spirit of life shall set you free from the law of sin'and death. Rom. 8-2. Satan shall be bound a thousand years to deceive the nations no more, (Rev. 20-3,) and all tears shall be wiped from all faces, and no more sorrow nor death; and the earth shall yield her seven-fold in her Eden state. The"e1ect spirits of the just, who were kept back ‘ tillithis the day and time of visitation, are now sent into the world that they may testify unto the truth. ‘And for this cause came I into the world, that mléfht tfisul-Y_ *-“‘_‘t0 the truth, by this Spirit of truth now given in this visitation to Israel, the elect and beloved of the Lord-—’t‘he Interpreter ——which thing is better. 1 Cor. 14-5, 6. llierelorc the Spirit: of the just are to be, and are spirits of jiisticc. .lesiis- s was the ﬁrstbegotten and firstborn, and so was 21 spirit ‘ of the just, of the first and greatest order. Paul shows that Jesus signiﬁes Justicc———and so shall it be, as tl1(’.}i»2lrt‘. des- tined to judge the world, and will judge in jiisrice: and in righteousness do they judge and n12ll(C war, until Satan 3: is bound :1 thousand years, to deceive the nations no more. _ * 1 And deliverance shall be brought to all who accept de- . liverance. But in times past, as Paul saith, Some were “I tortured and suffered judgment, accepting not deliverance. Heb. 11-35. So it will be in this the time of the end and day of judgment. Yet a remnant shall be saved; while thousands shall fall at their right hand and their left. it shall not come nigh thee—or these who accept deliverance. They, *3 r as the creature itself, also shall be delivered from the I‘ bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. Rom. 8-21. Ye shall judge angels, principalities and powers——in their times and seasons—by that spirit, 1 ‘I. Shiloh Immanuel; and shall judge the nations, who will '_ bring their honor and glory into it—i. e., into this great U immortal city of God, composed of 144,000 ii""lY “TOMS and living bones of the body of Christ, who is head of the church and saviour of the body. Eph. 5-23. This is the . body of Christ, with 144,000 living members—bone of his bone and ﬂesh of his ﬂesh; made immortal, like him who only hath immortality. 1 Tim. 6-16. The Creature Itself Also Shall Be Delivered" 1 From the Bondage of Corruption Into the Glorious Liberty of the Children of God. Rom. 8-21. BUT these, in this the day and time of visitation, yet being mortal, shall put on.immortality. Paul made it " ‘ clear, that in his day this had not yet taken place, except in ,‘ one‘—-the ﬁrstbegotten and ﬁrstbom of these many brethren, “ the sons of God yet to be revealed; as he saith, The creature waitet/1 for the manifestation of the sons of (}od~shon'ing , that in his day they had not yet been manifested. Therefore , they are still waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God; and the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption———not after they have gone to cor- ruption, no; but delivered from the bondage ‘of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. Therefore, this mortal shall put on immortality; i. e., this mortal upon .. whom the end has come, as all is written for us upon whom the end has come. And to them who look for him shall he come the second time without sin unto szilvatioii; and to , them_the day of visitation has come, and Israel shall know it. How will they know it? They will know it by that Spirit of truth—that other Comforter, which the world can- not receive. This Spirit of truth reveals the whole truth, which hitherto has been sealed. This therefore is :1 vi.~'itation"~‘ ' of life and immortality, which abolishes death, and will destroy him who has power of death, which is tlie;.d‘eiV (Heb. 2-14,)_and establishes-peace in the earth. and pe ‘ on earth and good will to men. ﬂuke 2-14.! This is‘n'oi _ known to be established; and as Jesus said at‘ his tits; C0l11lIlg,g1e I_ come not to bring peace but a sword, and to set ev U man at variance against his -neighbor; and so darkness covers] the earth and gross darkness the hearts and minds of .the ‘ people» Yet it says, He was a/light to lighten the Ggntiles ‘V and the glory of his people Israel. He was a light shitting in darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not. _.It V also-said, I am the light of the world, that lighteth ev man that ‘coineth into the world. But have they been e-n lightened? No! Well then, this waswritten for us upon, whom the end has come, and will lighten ex-E-.i~_v man tha cometh into it. ‘Italso says of the elect (his brethren), “Ye areithe light of the world.” And why‘! Because of this'visitation of light ‘and truth, which \vi~l-l’ lighten every maniof the new ‘world ,to come. \ As There Was a Remnant Savediln the Days of ‘Noah apd Lot, So Shall There Beta Remnant——According ‘To the Eleciion ' and Foreknoyvledge of God-—,Saved, 5 Body, Soul and Spirit. 1.-Pet. 1_-2; , Luke 17, 26-28. ‘. °‘ .

This rebuilding is not in reality Jericho, but the stones are taken from the world and from Christendom, as the elect stories gathered out, Even in this day, thousands are trying to rebuild Jericho in the name of the Lord by the same fallen stones-—undressed, unpolished, and unprepared. Therefore it is the same old city of wickedness, and the‘ evil is still in the blood-—which is as putting a new patch upon an old garment, and as new wine in old bottles; and the same are accursed. But the foundation was laid by his ﬁT3tb0ms and by a law; and the gates set up by his younger brother. The stories of the foundation are to be puriﬁed ‘and made white-—-tried stones; and thegates also. The walls will go up rapidly, and in troublous times. So it is also written, The Man-branch shall grow up out of his place and build the temple of the Lord. And as Jesus was the chief corner stone, and his body a lively stone, so also the stones are shown in the book of Revelation to be 144,000 lively stones of this transparent and immortal city of the great Ixing. P_sa. 48-2; Matt. 5-35. I have before written concerning the lost tribes of the children of Israel, and will speak of it again, in order to impress this upon your minds, and to show the difference between the soul salvation—-common to both Jew and Gen- tilc—-and this great redemption; which is a very different proposition, asthis is for the children of Israel and Judah. Yet there is a difference in Israel and Judah (or the Jews); and still another difference between Israel and the Gentiles; and a difference between the Jews and Gentiles, as all know; but aremixed in their opinion as to the Jews and Israel, and Israel and the Gentiles. These differences I will brieﬂy explain: The Gentiles claim the Jews to be Israel,- _and in contradiction to this, they also claim that they themselves are spiritual Israel-——i. e., most all Christian believers‘. But what ‘ saith the scriptures? “Isr:1el is my son, even my firstborn.” Ex. 4-22. Jesus was the only true Israelite—yet there were many Jews. You know, furthermore, there must be a dif- ference between a natural Jew and a‘ true Jew inwardly; as in the book of Revelation, John (who was a Jew himself) spoke against such as called themselves Jews, who do lie. and are of the synagogue of Satan——-signifying that_the natural Jew, who believed in death’: was'of Satan, and their bodies reckoned as Satan’s synagogue, or {the temple of Satan, the author of death. It is written, Know ye not ye are the temple of the Holy Ghost‘? and if the temple is deﬁled it shall be destroyed? and it is destroyed by Satan —'-their bodies turned over to Satan forlthe destruction or the ﬂesh, (1 Cor. 5-5,) that their spirit may be’. saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 9.. I ‘ rs;-aiei; Are" To Be ,Reﬁned As Silvhr and , ‘ ’"~"£ried As Gold. Zech. 13-9., . -\ OVV as to Jew and Gentile, they as a people, are blind to, the life,of the body-—proving that the mysteries are scaledifrorrifirboth classes. The Jews are called the Hnammj .olive;’’ and a man by'naIu,re.cannot receive the things'of the spirit. So the natural olive—the Jews——are , natural ‘by nature, and blind to the spiritual things of God. W ‘ .Ttie,Gentiles~‘are called the‘ wild olive——grafted contrary » to n'ature,‘:uid—only see the salvation of the soul; and yet 7 are natural by nature, and believe in death like the Jew.

Therefore these who are mixed up among the Gentiles, and are as Gentiles, are called Israel; the other, Judah. And so it says, I will gather together the children of Israel and the children of Judah, and they shall come up out of the land (from among the world) and appoint to themselves one head, and great shall be the day of Jezreel—-—signifying the seed of God. Therefore this trumpet sounds through the angel mes- senger of God, and is as the burning bush; . for it is the ﬁery law to burn the evil, and, like the burning bush, be not consumed. Judah and Israel are as in the ﬁery furnace, and the aliens; and the fourth like unto the Son of God. These are not consumed, but remain alive in the purifying furnace with the Son of God until the dross sep- arates from the pure gold. So Israel are to be reﬁned as silver, and tried as gold. Zech. 13-9. Israel and Judah are now being called out from Babylon, and from whither- g_s‘oever they have been scattered, and brought to Zion as lost “sheep from the mountains, who will hear and recognize their Shepherd’s horn, and know his voice through this trumpet sound, calling them home to the barn as cattle from a thousand hills. This angel rolls the stone from the well’s mouth, and waters the cattle; and this living water shall be in them a well of living water, springing up into everlasting life. So when Israel (among the Gentiles) and Judah come together in this great ingathcring, then the middle wall of partition is broken down; and they shall see eye to eye, when the, ' Lord brings again Zion.

Moultrie, Georgia. t CE again we are glad to write to, you concerning our , ~- doings out in the field. ‘Well, we are in Georgia again, if_'tei’-“spending a little over a month in Jacksonville,‘ Florida. ile we were in Jacksonville we disposed of quite alot of literature, and met with some who became very interested. During our stay there we experienced some.-of the worst weather known in Florida for years. Also while there, quite a number of Northern people who have visited, our Eden Springs ‘Park came up and spoke to us. 1 We also met quite a numbergof Eastern tourists, and after showing them some of our views of the Parlg they said they certainly ii ould pay Benton Harbor a visit and see our place. Several brothers took the full supply of our literature, and intend studying and ﬁnding out all they can about that straight and narrow path spoken of, that leads to life. From Jacksonville we came on to Valdosta, Ga., where we stayed one week,‘ and spoke to interested crowds, when eather permitted. ' During our. Saturday meetings there, which. were the largest we held, we had quite a few cdme up {and get some of the "further books. One man took’ the Book of Enoch, ' / ' From Valdosta we next visited Thomasville, staying’ days, and held several nice meetings, and then caught rain for Moultrie, Ga., where we are at present. ,—- . ; , Moultrie is one of the most progressive towns;;=.in the ’ th. We have been here eight days, speakingqto-Ivery‘ tive audiences. At one of our meetings a maxi ‘glrgve up. his car to the back of our crowd and left his engine "run-i i_ng, somewhat annoying the crowd. There werg licemen at the meeting who were very interested, and‘ they ent over and certainly gave the auto driver a lecture, ﬁnished up by telling him to shut off his engine, andelistehito etalk. After meeting, the auto driver came up and spot, ogized to us, and took the small set of our books, consisting of n ’7LlTTLE Boox, Cam and SOUL. At practically every meet? ', 'ng we have held, several who had obtained the literature ‘at 7our previous meetings would tell others to, get’ ourbooks,-p as they are certainly worth reading.’ Many took the full,.§e,ts . ,of the Booxs or W1sno1v1. One man at this meeting came up , and said he had just ﬁnished reading the L1'r'rI‘:E Boox,,“=" and .he said he had never seen: any book to equal it for expl ining the different subjects. He said he would not pa1'f wi his. t any price, if heithought he could fly get anotherx " ‘I’ ”’ '‘_» . " to speak on the main ‘streets. ‘ We expectfgtﬁ stay here‘ veral‘ days yet.

She wants to do all she can for us. , . * Well I don’t know of anything more at present that would interest you, so will close for this time, hoping to hear from you soon., We remain as ever your brothers and sister, striving for God’s kingdom on earth, ‘ Jesse, Foxssr AND ANNIE. fﬁfﬁifffﬂ i. San Diego, Calif. SINCE last writing you, we have had a long spell of rain; and we have not been able to get out on the street to hold meeting on account of it. We had a lot of trouble in getting a’ place to speak here, as they have an ordinancli against any speaking on the street; but they allow the Sal- and also secured privilege to speak on a vacant lot in the centre of the town; which the authorities said would not be conﬂicting with their laws. We got two meetings in before the rain, and another last night. We go out on the main street, which is about one block from the lot which we speak on, and put up our signs on the auto; and I play the violin, and Rosie chords on the autoharp. It takes well, and in a few minutes we have a large crowd. Then we announce the subject we are going to speak on at the vacant lot.-pointing down to it, only a block away. Then they follow us. One man asked what the time, time: and a half time meant in the scripture. We showed him that the great crea- tion was divided into times and seasons—one cycle of God’s time being 7,000 years——one~week of 7 days—one thousand "years for each day; as given in 2nd Peter 3-8: “Beloveds, be not ignorant of this one thing, thatone day is with the Lord 4 as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” Then this week_.of 7 days (seven thousand years) is divided into time, tamer, and half a tzfme. The first dispensation, or first two thousandyears, is called the antediluvian age or time. Then from the death of Noah till‘Jesus’ day, which was 2,000 years more, anotheii time; and 2,000 years since Jesus’ day, makes e-third t 77243; and then the millennium of 1,000 years, (making 2;'oop‘yea1is,in all,) is the lzalf zime. In other words, the ant‘ediluv«1§,n'fage of 2,000f,years. is called time; then the Jewish ,tim~4s;=;bf 2,000 years, and ‘the Gentile time of 2,000 years, in all..'4,00o years, is} called tz'mer—be.ing two periods o£,-2‘,050_ye_ars each; and__tl’1’;': Lord’s Sabbath of 1,000 years,~,i?Vt-lgieﬁ Ii;'zz>lfi'«.l,iIIz'e',—‘makir1gi7,;0‘§3o years in all, one week ‘of the‘~.—I—’.q¥d_?sitirrre——af?day’with; the-Lord being 1,000 years. 2 Petgrf , who‘j"a's_keg;,tl1e’ question, stated to ‘the cr§§vd‘5that;he;-gﬁpras yvell sagsﬁed with the answer, and ‘took some little books’ and a pap, ’ nd went, away seemingly much pleasedg" "I7, .1 ‘in z,_ ' ﬁat ‘Camp Kemgy, , where there are about ,‘4o,0_,‘ ojlierg; training’; .-and here} on the bay, ﬂying ‘ti!/l8C'l'll‘!_-'lC»’,§,q\} ' ;" e"’practiciiig%daily. ‘We -count sometimes iiis-'r_nany$as';s_; _tee"_n5 in-{the air at"oi1ce_._..> ’ They must have a great rriaiiy gg?fehine§°at practice gjer on‘ the Island.

SINCE writing you last in Mobile, we have had some fine meetings there; and found some who were very much interested, taking all the literature; even the Catholics would come up and hand me dimes and quarters, but would not take the literature. One man handed m\e a dollar, and said if he had anv more with him he would certainly donate it to us; and ‘said he was glad to meet somebody who is not afraid to tell the people what the bible teaches. In one of our meetings we were explaining the difference between Jesus and Christ; and that Christ could not get in the temple till the blood was taken away; and one man yelled out, and said, Well, Christ was in Paul. We said, No; he was working with Paul; and asked him if Paul went to the grave. He said, Yes. So we showed him that if Christ was in Paul, and Paul went to the grave, then Christ must have another resurrection. We met a man who claims he does not believe in a"God at all, but said we have the only message that interested him. Mrs. E , with whom we stayed‘, was very much interested; and subscribed for the paper. She also took a set of the BOOKS or Wrsnom, and said she wished she could help the work more. We left Mobile Wednesday for Pensacola, and received our mail today; which we certainly appreciated reading, Forest and I went to get a permit from the Mayor, and while we were waiting in his oiﬁce, the deputy came over. and said the Chief wanted to see us. So we went to see him, and he put us through an examination; and questioned us every way, asking us where we were from; who we were; were we related; what nationality we were ; what we were doing; and what we believed about the war, and going to war; and many more questions. After answering all the questions, he asked what my name was. VVhen I told him, he said, Oh, you’are French. There happened to be another" detective there from Chicago, who said, They are all right. He said he has heard a lot aboutius, and heard us preach in Chicago; and was coming to see the House of David the next time he was near. They gave us a permit to speak any place. They are very strict in these towns; as there is so much spying ‘going on. A man told us some one tried to blow'the post ofﬁce up the night before we arrived; so no doubt that is the reason they put us through such an examination. We also met the eldest Miller brother, who owned the “101 Ranch” show. He told us he was the one who had dinner at the House of David, and certainly en- joyed it, and was treated royally. He said he was glad to ITICCE US. The airships here are as thick as automobiles, ﬂying over our heads. They haye one of the largest naval stations here, also‘ a large encampment of soldiers.

ONCE again we have ﬁnished our travels through Georgia, . after spending about six or seven weeks spreading Israel’s life message. In Valdosta, Thbmasville and Moultrie we held nice meetings, and then went on. In Willacooc ee we had about an hour to wait between trains; and as there. were quite a few on_ the street we got them all together, and held a very n1ce l1ttle meeting. Quite a number took Israel’s l1terature. Qu1te a few of them remembered us from our Vlslt tliere about SIX years ago. After meeting we caught train for Douglas, where we stayed for four days, As it was Court week, and the town being crowded, we held some nice meetings. While 1138. we met up with a brother, who had sent h1s son in for us with his auto. We went out to this brother’s . place, and stayed a,day. He then took us byauto to Fitz. gerald, where we stayed about eight days, speaking two or three times a day, Here one man came up and objected to - us tearing down l’llS sky heaven. We asked him which heaven . he wanted to go. to; but he would have it that there» was ‘ p1nly one. We showed the crowd in the scripture the three ‘ eavens spoken of by Paul; and also told them about the - . heavens and the earth In the beginning; and aboiit the place ‘ that Jesus went to prepare. These heavens were getting 30° much 101' him, 50 he said he wanted to go to .heave1i with esus. We then quoted John 3-13, and also‘ told hird than JESUS 3>'C€I1d€d far above all heavens. We also proved to the crowd that heaven was going to be established‘ right ‘here ‘_ 01? thlsfafth. and that We were living in the time when Satan ’ _ gnpnsg bl: bonind, hTh1s started. this man again, and he _ with In nk oun. wit‘; an ll‘0l’l chain; so as he was a black- 1 , we as ed him 1f he wanted_the Job of making fhe Ehaigi fnld if 50» h_e had llcttcr get busy, as he would have his an s 111 for quite a time with that job.

Yesterday we had 3" argument with a man who wanted every one who did not l3elieV€ in keeping Saturday to be destroyed. We showed the crowd that the days they keep-—either Saturday or Sun. day——are only types of the perfect day, on account of sin on the planet; and proved to them that the true Sabbath would be 1,000 years of peace on earth ; and then quoted, Col. 2-16, 17, Let no man judge you in meat or in drink, or of sabbath « days; which are a shadow of things to come. After the argument several came up and took the paper with the Sab- bath day article in it. We have met three or four in town who are reading the further literature, and pressing forward in the race. With love from yours in the race, and for the establish- ment of God’s kingdom on earth, Roxii: AND GORDON. The Following Poetry Was Given For Publication In the Year 1894.

THE cloudsgare gathering fast, the storm is near,‘ And soon its withering blast will be felt here; Hark! hear the rustling breeze the saplings shake, Soon will the forest trees in pieces break. «at Hark! hear the trumpets sound, “To arms!” the call; See, see the nations ’rourid preparing all; Each eager for the fray and worldly gain, And “who shall win the day” each one’s refrain. The awful, fearful fight will soon be fought The fire of fiendish might is burning hot; Soon will the streams with blood as water run, Soc-.1, soon the awful crowd will be cut down. The plague though now asleep in wrath shall wake, Soon ’twill the cities sweep and thousands take; The rich, the poor, the great alike shall know As crowds in every state to it shall bow. A famine soon shall be in every land, ‘Distress we soon shall see on every hand; For bread shall thousands cry and offer gold, ~ In want shall thousands die let it be told. This earth will soon be rent bothfgr and near, Perhaps it may find vent in vengeance here; -The lofty shall fall down, the low shall rise, Already it doth frown before your eyes. ‘And proud religion’s cloak will now be torn, The oppression of its yoke be no more worn; All sects under the sun disguised so sweet,’ Form “Babylon" to one and it complete.

This added 1aw_ given to Moses captained two laws, the one in contradiction to the other. law of life was in it, but sealed from the understand- ing of man till the appointed time, tobe unsealed to» the seed to whom this promise of life was given.

Jesus Came Bringing Life and Immor- - g -tality To Light Through the Gospel. . 2 Tim. 1-10. JESUS Christ came according to prophecy and opened a , dispensation, overturning the whole system of Jewish -dispensation, and bringing life and ,immortality to_ light gitlirough the gospel. He came with the law of the spirit of ‘life, to abolish death and destroy him who had power of death, which is the devil. The devil knowing this, became enraged, and sought to destroy the Son of righteousness who had arisen with healing in his wings; for he said when he pened the book, “The spirit of the Lord is upon me‘; he hath anointed me to preach the gospel”—not the dead Works of the‘ Mosaic record; as John said, The law came by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. _‘ He came to heal the sick, for they who are not sick rieed not a physician. He came to open the eyes of the i " blind-——no't those who had eyes to see and saw not. He came “to bind up the broken-hearted, and to raise up the oppressed; to cast down the high, and to raise them of. low ‘estate. ’ He came to set at liberty them that were in captivity-—~to set V, '‘ them free from the bondage of corruption into the glorious ‘liberty of the children of God, and to preach the accept- able year of the Lord. And he closed the book, and handed it so the ministers a closed book——and it has remained a closed book to them to this day. Israel Is My Son, Even My Firstborn. Exodus 4-22. ACCGRDING to the prophecies, as the Jews understood it, the Messiah would come and subdue all nations by the sword; and set up his kingdom in majesty, and reign as a monarch supreme, and give them exalted positions to reign over their fellow-man with great authority and power. When Jesus began to rebuke the mighty and great, and call forth the poor down-trodden illiterate, such as the poor ﬁshermen of Galilee, they began to get full of envy and strife. He gave them to understand that his kingdom was to be established in peace and righteousness. But why of the. fallen Adamic race will now ‘be, taken as a rib. from‘ the iAdamic race; and she is called the bride, the Lamb’s_.~ ‘wife.

SHILOH’E MESSENGER OF WISDOM do the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break the bands asunder and cast away the cords from us. HE that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh; the Lord shall have them in derision. He shall speak to them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure; yet ‘ have I set my King upon my holy hill of Zion. I will de- clare the decree; the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee. Ask of me, and I will give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the utter- most parts of the earth for a possession. Thou shalt break them with. a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. Psalm 2, 1-9. Like many other passages of scripture, the Jews, not "understanding the nature of his kingdom, judged all things from a selﬁsh heart, and their imagination of his king- dom was foreign to the will of God. Even his disciples themselv§,_ arid most ‘all believers in his day, verily be- lieved the\n‘aturevof his.kingdom to be a mortal kingdom of ﬂesh blood; they were hard to make understand that he was to liave"lii's blood shed upon the cross, and the third day rfsg and,’ show the substance of the writings of Moses,>and tlie prophets, and Psalms; and that his kingdom was not~ﬂesl_i‘Iand blpod, for ﬂesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom;-ncitlier can corruption inherit incorruption.

He knew that the promise of.eternal life was given t6 the spirits of the just by God, who cannotlie, before the world began; and that they were kept back from taking bodies on this planet till the time of the’ end; and that those whom God foreknew he «ran did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his son, ‘Jesus, whose spirit was Michael; with whom these spirits of the just stood in the war in Jieaven, who did the will of God in heaven; so he said it was for them for whom it was pre- pared of my Father—prepared and the promise given before the world began. These spirits are now upon the earth to do his will in earth as it was done in heaven; who will now stand with the truth of.the revealed Word of life, and receive the promise—the redemption of our body.

And with it our entreaties are to the sound mind. and do not attempt therefore to excite or work on feelings, but by faith according to knowledge; for without fllllh, it is impossible to please Goll;‘and that which is not of faith Is sin.

Rev. f_0-‘I. And my sheep know my voice, and a stranger they will not follow—thls being the voice of the True Stranger. Jesus the True Shepherd said, The words I speak, they are spirit and they are life. Therefore we understand that the true sheep of the house of Israel know the voice, and need no persuasion, for it is written, I will have a willing people in the day of my power. Psa. 110-3. For how can a man come unto me except the Father who sent me draw him‘? John 6--H. Knowing this rule of faith, why would we unduly persuade! A true Israelite will not do It. And we furthermore offer no personal Inducements. And so it. is written, Seek not the bread that perishetli, but seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all things shall be added unto you. And it conveys the life of the body, for if we gain the whole world and lose ourselves, what would it proﬁt? And if we lose the body, how could the meek inherit the earth, If his body is lost?‘ To him that overoorneth shall Inherit all things. How could this We simply quote the sayings of Jesus, which is given out publloly, as It says, Cast thy bread upon the wafers, and after many days It shall return. I write and publish this because sometimes it is claimed that we persuade them In by making promises. No! We have often turned down money, and received them not, seeing they were not established in the faith. On the other hand, such as are established. and come, they simply come into the commonwealth of Israel, freely and wholly of their own free will, according to the. apostolic plan, as given in Acts 2-44, and according to the one family of God. And we do not reckon such as a_ sacrifice, because they come In as a member. And why is it not reasonable to bring their means with them‘! Paul says, Present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable with God. which is your reasonable service. And Israel shall see eye to eye when the Lord brings again Zlon. Isa. 52-8. We understand the promises held out in scripture, and we do not add to nor take from the things written therein. Therefore \vc do not make a personal promise, nor unduly persuade, knowing the scriptures teach and set forth conditions in which all work out their salvation, and must come up to the conditions required of God. Therefore the promises are to the overcomer, as fallli without works is dead. Therefore we hold out no natural inducements or material blessings, or choice places or front seats, knowing what Jesus said concerning back seats, and coming to the front according to merit- failh and works and the bidding of God. as Jesus took the form of a servant, and learned obedience by the things he suffered; being subject to the laws and powers that be, for it says they are ordained of God—and law abiding according to the gospel rule. and the common- wealth fund, received by those who enler into it by faith, established upon the scriptures, and of their own free will, having been fully per-siiaded In their own mind, and that of themselves, and which they hereby acknowledge that they understand it, after having carefully studied this great spiritual visitation with the scriptures. and are now acting by faith to be proven by works, as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead—-knowing the soul salvation is a free gift of grace, and the life of the body by faith and works, as Jesus said, The works I do shall ye do. John I/i-I2. And that ‘‘I understand the work to be 8. self-sacrificing work—giving .iip all for the kingdom's sake, and therefore bringing myself and my all into the commonwealth‘ of the house of Israel, and to abide by the rules and regulations of the House of Davld; knowing the scriptures say, There shall be a cleansing fountain open in the House of David, and as Jesus clearly showed an lngatherlng and restoration of Israel: having read the literature published by the House of David, whlcli leaves it up to me without offering any "further lnducemcnls or persuasion, and without personal promises of any description; and that I understand the park which is advertised" by the House of David to be for-_ the general public, and not private beneﬁts or pleasures of the House of David or any of its members In any pa.i-tlculnr." Any home members, ‘or members in general visiting the park, are as public vlsltors .whlIe doing so; not prohibited however-—nol but while doing so It Is understood to be on equal basis with the general public, and on their own responsibility; no special privileges more than is to the general public. Notwithstanding the Park Springs of Eden is a private park. and Its Income belongs to the commonwealth of Israel. The preachers sent out by the House of David are forbidden to ask any one to come to the House of David, or Induce or persuade ln_any manner. They are instructed to simply preach the word of God rightly divided, and leave it with them. This work of ingatherlng ,is preparatory to the establishment of the kingdom of God on earth In peace and In righteousness; and “before ‘coming to the Ingathéring I understand Its purposes according to the scriptures, and that all I possess Is to be turned into the commonwealth for the work, and to be used for the work of lngalhcrlng, nor to ever hereafter set up any personal claim regardlng It." In this visitation, during the time of the sounding seven angel messengers, It has ever been understood that there was to be no persuasion whatever; but under the foregoing messengers rather discourage. chieﬂy because it was not the time for lngathering under their ministry, as their publications show clear and plain that the gathering was not to take place until the Seventh Angel Messenger began to sound. Notwithstanding even now, under this message. it is strictly against our faith and gospel rule to use any persuasion In any manner whatsoever, or hold out inducements unduly, outside of scripture teaching, for _many reasons, knowing this ingatherlng Is for preparation by this visitation, and the cleansing fountain-; as all are born In sin by nature, and therefore nothing can remain except by faith proven by works, as gold is tried In the fire, and reﬁned as silver. Zach. 13-9. And a.s,he Is spoken of as a. great Shepherd. separating the sheep from the goats, therefore this Instrument or article will begin its work Informing each and every one that this step for entering this lngatherlng must be by faith, separately and individually, wholly by understanding and that of themselves, and not by another encouraging or discouraging. These seeing this great faith through the Word need no encouraging or discouraging. why would we take pleasure in unbelief, coming and 501118. making trouble unnecessarily. both for themselves and others‘! Therefore we give no place for unbelief, for without. faith it is impossible to please God. As ensamples, referring to the past, when Mary and Benjamin went to Australia, to the members under one of the former messengers. they brought elghty—flve people with them: and not one of them had been Informed by Mary and Benjamin concerning how we were fixed In the way of providing for them.

HE revelation and interpretation of Jesus Christ: Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein, for the time is at hand !—written to the seven churches, the seed to whom the promise is made. The day of visitation has come, and Israel shall know it. Behold he who was, and is, and is to come. Behold, he comes leaping upon the mountains and skipping upon the hills! The spring time has come !—- see the white clouds and showers of blessing! The Day-spring has opened her fountain! Behold. I bring good tidings of comfort and joy to every heart that receives it! The seven spirits from before the throne now utter their voices in clear and beautiful tones. The cle-.insiii,«_' fountain is open in the House of David—’tis the running: streiini which flows between the law and gospel. Behold the spring of the new creation. The flowers appear upon the earth: the voice of_ the turtle is heard in the garden of the bride.

My Sheep Know My Voice, and a Stranger They Will Not Follow. John 10-4,5. AS Jesus. our elder brother. Lord and Master, was sent into the world. so he_ ‘.lL’COr(llI1;I to his word. hath >‘<‘Hf me to speak unto thee in his name. and to testify unto the truth: and for this cause came I into the world, and hear and have seen. \Vrite in an open book, and send it unsealed. that thou may read and llllLl(‘l'>f;lllL‘l the time and day of iisitation and the thiiigs which belong to thy pezict’: :15 ,5”. ],._;g ;\.»;1t~emustnmvbe found. and lost piirzitlisc te- stored. V\'ithin the seveii candlesticks, or burning lights. was one liken unto the Son of man; and we are to be made like him, he being the firstborn among many brethren; for those whom he foreknew he did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his s0n—liken unto the Son of man, who was clothed with a garment down to the foot, and whose eyes were as a ﬂame of fire, and who held in his hand seven stars, and out of his mouth ‘.1 sliarp two-edged sword, and whose countenance was as the sun shining in his strength. The Seventh Angel shall finish the mystery, as declared to hit servants the prophets. And the mystery of the seven stars are the seven angels of the seven churches, as represented by the seven candlesticks; (Rev. 1-20;) with their burning lights of this visitation, now having become one church and body of Christ—the light of the wOrld——the true light, as of the sun; and the voice of the seven thunders as one voice of the archangel and the trump of God by the seven spirits from before the throne all sounding in one. And my sheep know my voice, and a stranger they will not follow. It is His voice sounding through the trumpet which is now being blown from Jehovah; and my sheep hear the I\l:1ster’s horn; which is the horn of salvation which saves to the utterinost— body, soul and spirit. Thou hast tried them which say they are apostles and are not, who are found to be liars; and they who say they are Jews, and are not. but are of the sviiagogtie of Satan, who cry out. Release unto us zi thief, and who coiiieth not but to kill and to destroy. The spirits of the just, the stones of the mountains, are crying out today, “Setid out thy light and thy truth!" Tli_v word is truth, spirit and life, that now comes from heaven, that we iiitiy eat thereof and not die. It is the hidden iiiaiiiia hid in the midst of the paradise of God. Not as our fatliers ate it and fell in the wilderness. and are dead because of sin. (John 648.) for .\Ioses gave not that bread from he-aveii: nor can any iiiati be made perfect by the law of carnal coiiiiiiatidiiients. But the law of the Spirit of life shall set us free from the law of slim and death: and Such shall eat of the manna which has been scaled and hidden. There- fore. To him that overcoiiietli shall have :1 right to the tree of life. and the flziiiiing swords removed, and admit him to pass through the gates into the city—the paradise of God. The Lord Shall Set His Hand Again the Second Time To Recover the Remnant of His People. Isa. 11-11. ' ’ THE seven churches to which John wrote were ﬁgures, and are for this visitation, as the scriptures were sealed till the time of the end. Dan. .12-9. As the proofs are clearly shown in the literature, ‘treating upon the first principles, and give reference as proofs, therefore in this writing we will not be tedious. John was about to write the things heard by the utterings of the seven thundering angels, but was com- manded to seal them up and write them not, but would prophesy again, etc.—which shows clearly, as do other scrip- tures, that iewas sealed, to be unsealed and interpreted and thﬁ 111)"St€Y)’ ﬁnished! bv the Seventh Angel. Rev. io-7. Like the great wonder in heaven: A woman clothed with the sun, etc., and she brought forth a man-child. . Many verily be- lieve this refers to Jesus; but this cannot be, because this was seen in vision after the days of Jesus. And furthermore, Jesus was born an 2'nfmzt child, while this was a man-child—— a man, and yet to become as a child. And so other scriptures . clearly speak of a .\Ian-branch to grow up out of his place and build the temple of the Lord. And furthermore, Jesus was the Root——not the Branch, but the Root and Offspring of David, the bright and morning star; while this is the child of the man C_hrist—the Branch, Shiloh; and is the true representative of his second coming. And therefore the scriptures say, I con- sider all the living which walk under the sun with the Second Child, which shall stand up in his stead. And therefore Jesus said he would send him; and. If you accept not him whom I send. you accept not me. And furthermore, he spake clearly and unmistakably that the Son of man would come, and be- fore him be gathered all nations, and separated as shepherds separate sheep from goats, etc.; (Matt. 25-31, 32;) and that the Lord would set his hand the second time to recover the remnant of his people, Israel. And the Lord did not gather Israel at his ﬁrst coming—said he oft would have gathered them, but they would not. Mzitt. 23-'37.

ETERNAL iL1§e__ FOR ISRAEL I GIVE UNTO THEM ETERNAL LIFE, AND THEY SHALL NEVER PERISH; NEITHER SHALL ANY MAN PLUCK THEM OUT OF MY .'HAND. JOHN 10-28. wish to call your attention to the light, which has I E suddenly sprung up in our midst; unfolding the deep mysteries of the kingdom, which has now come upon us— even the mysteries which Paul‘ heard when caught up into the third heavens, who heard the unspeakable words which were unlawful to be uttered in the outer court’. 2 Cor. 12-4. Notwithstanding, we feel at liberty to give you a few out- line truths pertaining to this subject, keeping in reserve the I deeper mysteries till ye’ are able to receive thein—the many things which Jesus said he had to say unto you, but you can-. not hear them now. But they shrill be given to ‘all who follow on step by step up into the temple of wisdom; and wisdom is justiﬁed of her children. Matt. 11-19. VVith all your gettings get wisdom. For men die for the want of wisdom. Hosea 4-6. And without a vision the people per- ish. Prov. 29-18. It is written, The vision is for an ap- pointed time, and at the end it shall speak and not lie’; though it tarry, wait for it, it will surely come. ‘Hah. 2-3. These things were spoken of by the prophets for the time of the end, as all are written for our learning and admoiii- .tibri upon whom the end has come. 1 Cor. 10-11. There- fore the mysteries of the scriptures were sealed till the time of the end. Daniel desired to know and understand the I things spoken, but it was said to him, Go thy way till the end "he, and you shall stand in your lot at the end of days. Dan. 12. Blindness In Part Happened Israel, Until I 4.5, the Fulness of the Gentiles Be Come In. . Romans 11-25. THE mysteries were sealed till the fulness of the Gentiles V be come in; therefore Jesus spoke in proverbs and par- ables. Even the disciples did not understand his speech be- cause it was sealed among his disciples, as it is written, Bind ., .u the testiiiion and seal the law amoncrm disci les; but P Y 1:. Y P it was said the time would come when he would no more speak in proverbs and parables, but show you plainly of the Father—which could not be shown till the time of the end; . as Jesus said, Albeit when he the Spirit of truth shall come, he shall lead you in the way‘ of all truth and show you ‘ plainly of the Father. John 16-13, 25. i ‘ This should be shown in this latter visitation. The apostles only saw in part; as Paul the chiefest of the apos- tles said, We see in part and prophesy in part, but when the thing which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. They saw as through a glass darkly, because the mysteries of the kingdom were sealed from ‘men’s understanding till the time of the end; as Paul said, Blindness in part had happened to Israel till the fulness of the Gentiles be come in; and at that time the Gentiles were just grafted into the stem where the Jews were cut off. Romans 11-25.. Therefore there had to be a dispensation of the Gentile time, for the salvation of the soul; and this Gentile dispensation being shortened for the elect’s sake, or no ﬂesh would be saved. Therefore we are now in the short- ened time, when hehas set his hand the second time to gather his people Israel for the life of the body. Jesus Said, I Have Other Sheep Not of This . Fold, and I Give Unto Them Eternal Life. John 10-16, 28. LET, us remember that God has been dealing with three classes of people, viz., the Jews, the Gentiles, and the Church of God, the remnant of his people Israel. He deals with each one in their order. These three classes are shown in Isa. 44-5: One shall say, I am the Lord’s, and another shall.say, We are of Jacob, and another shalle subscribe with his hand and surname himself by the name of Israel. These who say they are the Lord’s, are the Gentiles who accept the atonement of Jesus Christ for the soul; and those who ‘ say they _ . given to Jacob; and after the Gentiles’ fulness, which has now come, Israel shall be gathered and surname themselves by the name of Israel. Now Paul, in proof of the three classes, said, Give none offence to the Jew, nor to the Gen- tile nor to the Church of God (Israe1)——showing that neither Jew nor Gentile are reckoned as the Church of God, i. e., the immortal church, spoken of as the general assembly .of the firstborn. TWO parts shall be cut off and die, and the 1 ‘third part shall be left therein; and I will refine them as silver is reﬁned, and try them as gold is tried; (Z6Ch- 13-9;) and the prophet Isaiah said, In that day Israel shall be the ,thi,.d_ 153, 19-24. The Jews were the one‘part_who were cut off and died because they rejected the life of the bod) which ’was offered to them by Jesus, who came to abolish death and destroy him who had power of death, which was ’ ' ' (T the devil.

I zim the bread that conieth down from heaven, that a man niziv eat thereof and not ,die. ‘ _ B€l9"3d=\ PFOVC all things and hold fast to that which 18 good, for all that :1 man hath will he give for his life. Therefore follow thou me. and we will try to make you 1111- derstand the deep mysteries which are revealed in this our d3)’\€Ven the utterings of the seven tliunders which John heard. \Vhen they uttered their voices he was about to write; but_tlie voice said, VVritc it not! \\'liy'? Because the time had not then come, it being sealed from Jew and Gentile; and, like the words Paul heard, were not lawful to be. uttered in .the outer court of the Gentiles. Therefore this Little Book is given to the elect seed of Israel, scattered among the ‘Gentiles and Jews, who are now to be gathered by this trumpet sound. I\Iy sheep know my voice, and :1 stranger they will not follow. Remember Jesus said, I have other, sheep which are not of-this fold, and I give unto them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. VVhat fold did he have reference to that should never perish, since we see that ,. the middle wall of partition '21s broken down between Jew and Gentile, making them one fold, which is the incorrupt- ible fold ‘in the first resurrection—the one through faith and the other by faith; being made equal unto the angels—with spiritual bodies as the angels of God in heaven? Mark 12-25. If We Sow To the Spirit, We Shall Of the Spirit Reap Life Everlasting. Gal. 6-8. HEREFORE Israel/ now come in as that other fold who shall never perish. And Jesus prayed that they be taken not out of the world, but kept from the evil. There- fore they will be prepared and kept alive and remain—hav- ing their vile bodies changed and fashioned like unto his glorious body; who will become the immortal fold. In the way of righteousness is life, and in the path- way thereof there is no death. Jew and Gentile have been dying, but Israel will not die. Did not Paul pray, May the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit, and soul and body be preserved (not de- stroyed, but preserved) blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ? their temples being predestinated to be the temple of God. Know ye not that ye are the temple of the Holy Ghost? And if the temple is defiled it shall be ‘destroyed; and they shall reap the wages of sin, their tem- ple being turned over to Satan for the destruction of the ﬂesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. F or if we sow to the ﬂesh we shall of the ﬂesh reap corruption—the ‘body returning to dust from whence it was taken, to rise no more; being as water spilt upon the ground, which cannot be gathered up again. 2 Samuel 14-14. “ If we sow to the Spirit we shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. By sowing to the Spirit, this mortal (body) shall put on immortality. Without controversy, great is the mystery of godliness, God manifest in the ﬂesh. These mysteries pertaining to the life of the body, soul and spirit without death, are the things which were sealed till the time of this last visitation of the Spirit of truth to open all the scriptures to Israel, that he might be glorified in them, even as he was in Jesus—that their vile bodies may be changed (while they are living) like unto his glorious body of ﬂesh and bone. His body did not see corruption; for did he not say, Beach forth thy hand and feel, for a spirit hath not ﬂesh and bone as ye see me have? Therefore he was raised higher than the angels, crowned with honor and glory; and if our _bodies be changed and fashioned like his, we will be like him when he comes. Phil. 3-21. And if we are like him, hav- ing the temple of ﬂesh and bone, would, we not be also higher than angels—-judging the angels, principalities and powers‘? Those who have been dying, who have part in the first resurrection, remember they are only made equal to the angels—having a spiritual body, by the reunion of soul and spirit; whereas Israel, being made like Jesus, with spirit, soul and body, become priests and kings, like Jesus. He was made high priest for ever, after the order of Melchis- edec, having neither beginning of days nor end of life—— which was the spirit of God; which spirit entered the temple, as it is written, I am with you, and shall be in you. Man was created to be immortal; and so it is also written, If the spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in vou, then the spirit of him which raised up Christ from the dead, shall also quicken your mortal body. Rom. 8-1 1. In The Third Day I Shall Raise Them (Israel) Up, and They Shall Live In My Sight. Hosea 6-2. HE book was sealed with seven seals. And there are seven keys by which these seven seals are unlocked. And the niystery of the seven thunders are the seven angels which were to sound in order; and when the Seventh begins to soiipd, the mystery shall be finished as declared to his ser- vants. Rev. 10-7. Heaven was searched, and none found worthy to open the book and loose the seals thereof. But the Lion of the tribe_of Judah prevailed with God to open the book and loose the seals. And did not Jesus enter the synagogue and open the book, and say, The spirit of the Lord is upon me; he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, and to bind up the broken-hearted, and to heal the sick, and to preach the acceptable year of the Lord? and he closed the hook and gave it to the ministers. Luke 4-20. The Book of Life was opened to him, and he entered in—biit let it be remembered that it was closed again, and sealed till the time of the end, or till the fulness of the Gentiles be come in; then the visitation of his spirit would be sent by i \ the God of peace to the seven angels, to open the mystery to the elect people of God. I11 the beginning He created the heavens and the earth ! —i. e., the beginning of this cycle of seven thousand years; and he declared the cnd from the bcgiiiniiig. And the six days creation were six tliouszind years. according to the key given to Peter, for he said he would not lI&lV(‘ us igiiorxuit of it, that one day was with the Lord as :1 thoiisand years and a El1()l151|i1(l yczirs as one day. The six days zire tlirmvn into dispeiiszitioiis of two il1()11S1lIILl years cacli, which is called ‘.1 prophetic day; as it is written, After two days I will revive the hope of Israel, and in the third day I will raise them up and they shall live in my sight. After two days or di-‘pen.-W tions of two thousand years each. Jesus came and revivcd the hope of Israel; LlI'1(l in this third day or dispensation hc coiiics to raise us up from the effects of the fall, and we shall live in his sight, because the day shall be shortened for thc clcct‘.< sake or no ﬂesh would be saved; but for the clcct'.- sake he hath shortened the’dziys. l\Iatt. 24-22. This will fulfill the words spoken in the beginning, that man ivas to be iiizide in his image and after his likenc.-‘s—i. e.. on the sixrli day; which would be the sixth tliouszind years, liccziu.-‘c iiiaii l> not yet made in the iiiiage of God except Jesus, the ilr.~Yi)OI'I1, who is son of God, the image of his Father. And remember, he is not complete till he receives his bride; as Jesus .-arid. I am not perfected till I receive my l3l'lClt‘-——l)€(".ll1S(3 hc iv-.i~ to be made male and fenizile. And there are to be 144.000 re- deemed, spirit, soul and body, having their vile bodies changed and fashioned like unto his (Jesus’) glorious body; and these are to be male and female—ﬁnished in inimortality like Jesus, in this shortened time of this sixth day, or sixth thousand years. « The Latter Adam, A Quickening Spirit, the Lord From Heaven. 1 Cor. 15, 45-47. OTICE! the fall of Adam came through transgression, and he became a type of what was to come‘; as it is writ- ten, The first man Adam was a type of him (Jesus) who was to come. The first Adam was of the earth, earthy; and the latter Adam is a quickening spirit, the Lord «from heaven; which quickened the body of Jesus that it saw not corrup- tion, through his obedience to the law of life, as it is writ- ten of him that he never at any time transgressed his Father’s commands. But the first Adam died within the thousand year day, and his body went to corruption. Now then, we are told, If the spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, then the spirit of him which raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal body; for the creature itself shall be delivered from the bondage of corrup- tion into the glorious liberty of the sons of God. Remember, the ﬁrst curse came upon the body, ;::1~.,’. not upon the soul. The soul did not come under the curse of death till 2,513 years passed away—till the law of ‘_\Iose.-1 came. Then it was said for the first time, The soul that sin- neth, it shall die l—which is'the second death. So there will be a resurrection of the souls of both the righteous and the wicked to give an account of the deeds done in the hodv (while living); and the righteous dead shall have part iii the first resurrection, (for on such the second death hath no power. But the rest of the dead live not again till a thousand years are expired. These are they who are under the curse of the death of the soul—the first death being upon the body be- cause of the transgression of the law of righteousness: and the second death being upon the soul for not repentingswhich are the rebellious class, who left their own habitation, and are reserved under chains of darkness unto the judgment of that great day. But those who repent obtain :1 better resur- rection—to be made like unto the angels with a spiritual body in the first resurrection, the second death having no power over them. Yet both classes receive the first de;1th—- reaping the wages of sin, their bodies being sown in dishonor by losing the temple. The sting of death is sin; and sin is the transgression of the law-—i. e., the law of righteousness; because the law was ordained unto life. But men found it to be unto death because of carnality. Therefore there is a difference between the righteousness of the law, and the dead letter. The dead letter killeth, but the Spirit maketh alive. So through one man’s disobedience death came into the world; and so death passed upon all men because all have sinned. Eternal Life, Which God, That Cannot Lie, Promised Before the World Began. Titus 1-2. HEBEFOBE Paul said, All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Even our forefathers died in the faith not having received the promise. Then what was the promise‘? And what was it that they all came short of because of sin‘? It was the promise of the life of the body—which vva.-‘ prom- ised by God, who cannot lie, before the world began. And so it has been as Paul said, The whole creation groaiictli in pain together until now; and even we ourselve< groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the re- demption of our body. Rom. 8-23. VVe wish to make you understand that this promise of the life of the body must be obtained this side of the grave, without death or going through the chambers of the izravc; because all who lose the body suffer loss, (2 Sam. 14-14‘. ) and the body cannot be raised again according to the sciiptures. He that goeth to the pit comefh up no more. Job 7-(). And Paul said, Thou sowest not the body that shall be, but God givetli it another body such as pleasetli him———not the siime body, but another body. It is sown a natural body, and raised a spiritual body. 1 Cor. 15-44. i 1 4 . 2 , ""‘~ ""'_ ---~—~>---—-—-- ....—-1-....~..2.-. ._, .ii2n1‘s;\i.i3.i-1. isr Sl.\"l‘I-]E.\'l‘fl mm or viii; '1ioN'rii xi-:\v l,‘.1\E.\T[()N 4: THE DAY STAR OF THE MILLENNIAL MORN A LIGHT THAT SHINETH IN A DARK PLACE, UNTIL THE DAY DAWN AND THE DAY STAR ARISE IN YOUR HEARTS. 2 PETER 1-19. I VVILL no more speak in proverbs and parables, but show you plainly of the Father, (John 10-25,) in this the time and day of visitation, as the mysteries were sealed, but now to be revealed by the seven angels sounding in one, as the glory of the sun. And as it is written, The light of the moon shall become as the sun, and the sun as the light of seven days. Paul was caught up in spirit, and said, Above 14 years ago, I Saw a young man, whether in the body or out of the body I cannot tell, the Lord knoweth; such an one caught up into the third heaven, and heard words not lawful to be uttered in the outer court (2 Cor. 12-4)—and the outer court be- ‘longeth unto the Gentiles. Rev. 11-2. Now let us notice a , few brief points pertaining to this mystery—we say a mystery because Paul himself confessed that he did not understand; for he speaks of seeing him, yet whether in the body or out of the body he could not tell. Not only this, but the third heaven signiﬁed this visitation in this the shortened time of t the third prophetic day or dispensation. A further proof that the words he heard were not for his time, nor for the times of the Gentiles—not until their fulness—is because they were unlawful to be uttered in the outer court, which is clearly shown to belong to the Gentiles. Therefore this young man is often spoken of throughout the scriptures—the spiritual Man-child, or l\’I:an—branch and Interpreter, who was to return to the days of his youth, and his ﬂesh become fresher than that of a child’s, etc. At that time he was in spirit, and was .,not permitted to have a body till this the day of visitation; but as Paul saw this in vision, or by revelation, he could not tell whether he was in the body or out of the body. The innumerable words of the third heaven were the words of this LITTLE BOOK, or message of life~—the life of body, soul arid spirit to be attained unto by this Word of this visitation of this the third heaven. And this is to be obtained in this the time of ingathering and preparation for the coming Sabbath day of rest, in which the whole earth is blessed. The Lord Shall Set His Hand Again the Second Time To Recover the Remnant of His People. Isaiah 11-11. THEREFORE this young man—now in the body—preaches the life of the body. Not only one young man—the Son of man——but his message is for the 144,000 who are the living ‘bones and lively stones of the temple or body‘ of Christ—— the general assembly of the church of the firstborn; and all these are clearly shown to be the immortal body of Christ. Solomon said, I considered all the living that walk under the sun with the Second Child—this spiritual young man, who shall stand up in his stead, i. e., instead of Jesus. Jesus also spoke of him in seal; and he was typiﬁed by the little child which he placed in the midst, and said, They who accept this child in my name, accept me, etc.; and except you become as this Child, you cannot see the kingdom of God. Mark 10-15. Therefore suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven—~which is the elect. the children of Israel to whom the promise was made. Paul said no more in way of explanation. And why‘? Be- cause he told us why—saying, The words he heard were then unlawful to be uttered in the outer court. The outer court —which belongs to the Gentiles—does not admit man to the knowledge of spiritual things, because they have been closed and sealed fro111 both Jew and Gentile till the fulness of the Gentile age be come in. Rom. 1 1-25. Then the Lord would set his hand to recover the remnant of his people.Israel. This l\Ian-branch—or Son of man, and Seventh Angel Messenger —.is to interpret and finish the mystery. I Will Cleanse Their Blood That I Have Not Cleansed; for the Lord Dwelleth In Zion. Joel 3-21. OW‘ it may be asked, What is the scriptural difference in man by nature, and the Son of man '2 This is a point well to explain briefly. At, first, when Adam sinned and fell, the evil or tares from the serpent were inoculated into the blood, which Adam received at the fall; and it is commonly known as the Adamic evil, visited on the offspring up to the third and fourth generation, or dispensation; and their offspring are born in sin and shzipen in iniquity. Psa. 51-5. Jesus was purified from this Adamic evil. (Sataifs tares,) and was with- out evil in his blood, and called "Son of nian”—yet son of I)avid; David being a man. Therefore Jesus, the Root and (yffspriilg of David. was called Son of nian beczitise of that wed being in the loins of David. Yet David. in spirit, called him Lord. Matt. 22-43, 4.1. He afterwards became both Lord and Clirist, and son of (rod; being born of God—not of blood. nor of the will of the flesh. nor of man. This was his second birth. So Israel are first born in sin, and with the tares or A.,i;imii- evil in their blood: and in this condition are as sons of Sataii (because of Safari‘; seeds of death in them) and ,0n,~ of Ad;ii11~—s<~)-calletl because of the blood. and the evil in the blood. Therefore the promise is to them who now enter this visitatioii, and the cleansing fountain which is now SHILOH’S MESSENGER OF WISDOM open in the House of David. He saith, I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed, for the Lord dwelleth in Zion. Joel 3-21. Therefore this will be accomplished by ci‘1icif_i- ing the old man with its affections and lusts, that the body of sin might be destroyed. VVhen this is accomplished, they become Son of man—f1'eed from the Adamic evil and from the bondage of corruption. Rom. 8-21. Then the Second Child—c2illcd the spiritual Child—stai1ds up instead of the man of sin. But foregoing this, the Man-branch we so often allude to—Son of man, or Seventh Angel fvlessenger and lnt.e1'prcter stands up instead of Jesus; which is called Shiloh, unto whom the gathering of the people shall be. Gen. .19-10. He is called the Lord's younger brother, who sets up the gates he being the i\Lan-branch, who shall grow up out of his place and build the temple of the Lord; and being the Seventh Angel, he finishes the mystery of godlinesﬁ —God manifest in the ﬂesh. 1 Tim. 3-16. He, having been an ovcrcomer and hassuffered with him-having crucified the old man of sin, and the body of sin being desti‘o_ved—becomcs :1 new creature in Christ Jesus; and therefore is called the Son of man, before whom all nations shall be gathered. And he shall send his angels to gather his elect from the uttermost parts of the earth to the uttermost parts of heaven; and shall separate the sheep from the goats. This is called the Spirit of truth——the visitation of God——and heaven, in which there is war till the red dragon is overcome and cast out into the earth (or the world); as he is bound hand and foot and cast out, not having on the wedding garment in this the great marriage of the Lamb. The Second ‘Ensign Lifted Up, Around Which the Tribes of Israel Shall Gather. 1 Isaiah 11-12. THE great wonder in heaven spoken of, was, A‘ woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and a crown of twelve stars upon her head; and She trklvailﬁd in birth, and pained to be delivered; and she brought forth a Man-child. This was given by John, in Revelation, long since the day of Jesus——yet some in great Babylon apply this to Jesus. This could not be—unless you have Jesus to have returned since he ascended and was gloriﬁed, to be re-born the third time. No; this cannot be. This wonder—the birth of the Man-child-—was the spiritual Man-branch, or Second Child, who stands up instead of the ﬁrst; of which rrlost all scriptures foretell. It is spoken of as the second Ensign, around which the tribes of Israel shall gather. The sounding angels of the foregoing part of this visitation also clearly foretell of this coming of.the Second Child, and ingathering and restoration of Israel. John, the ﬁfth messenger, stood up in England, and said, Great Britain shall be supplanted of her birthright; and the glorious _Star shall glide away from her. James, the sixth messenger, stood up also in England, and said, In yon distant horizon the Star of Jacob shall arise to set no more. It has had its fulﬁllment in America—thc land of the west. The younger supplants the elder of these two continents—England and the United States—pertaining to the visitation. And as the lightning shineth from the east unto the west, so shall the coming of the Son of man be. lVIake no mistake in this and spiritualize it all away. This visitation of God’s spirit is as the lightning shineth from the east unto the west—ﬁrst in England, and then in America. So as the lightning shineth from east to west, so shall the coming of the Son of man be; and where the body ,is, there shall the eagles be gathered together. ’Theref0re in this land of the free, united we stand. Here is where the body is— the body of Christ, and ingatheying and general assembly of the church of the ﬁrstborn. Therefore it was said to Rachel, who was weeping for her‘ children, because they were not: Rachel, refrain thy voice from weeping and thine eyes from tears, for thy childreigishall come again to their own border. Jer.31-16, 17. , “ Jesus said, If these held their peace, the stones would cry out—spirits of the just, who were to be stories. And they are new crying out, Glory to God in the highest; peace on earth and good will to men. Luke. 2-14.; The Star has arisen——the glorious Day-star of the millennial morn; and the sun is peeping over the hills. Therefore a great light has sprung up in our midst. Behold, he comes leaping upon the mountains and skipping upon the hills! The spring-time has come, and the ﬂowers appear upon the earth, and the voice of the turtle is heard in the garden of the bride. A garden enclosed is my sister, a spring shut up, a fountain sealed—now unsealed, and ,a fountain opened in the House of David for sin and for unclean-' ness. BOOKS or POETRY.

THE WAR SUBJECT IN _iiigi1iir 1 H ILE some of our preachers were preaching and showing; PAGE 3 01"l'icer of war came up and congratulated them, saying it was", good. _ Pertaining to war, we foreknew and have before shown, that there would be a universal war, and these things still stand on record, shown in our publications long before the i that all who believe in death should go to war, some’: war broke out. And now pertaining to our faith and belief, .1 which we held unchangeable, and the ingathering, long before the war; and we still hold the faith of life immortal, and ‘for which great sacriﬁces stand a proof, and loyal to that which ' is sound and right. We do and are willing to do all we can for that which does not con'ﬂict with the faith we hold, and are not willing to any thing which makes a denial of the faith " we hold, which is the pure sound ‘teachings of Jesus Christ, our Lord. This faith of immortal life given by a visitation to a few chosen elect, who ﬁnd the straight and narrow path; and in which pathway there is no death. Prov. 12-28. ' Now as to the world, and pertaining to soul salvation after death, we believe that they should go to war, as war does not disannul soul salvation, as the soul salvation'is most 1 J assuredly a free gift of grace without works. Eph. 2-8, 9.. ‘ It being a free gift nothing can disannul it. Gal. 3, 13-18.. The only difference, war gives you a quicker chance for’ heaven, as we commonly and often hear them say, that they ‘ I are ready and are waiting to welcome death. So a good chance -‘ « is now offered; and to die for your country is reckoned a good credit and a great glory. Getting back to the subject of the’ great salvation, we understand the difference between the com- mon salvation and the great salvation. Jude 3. The im- mortal life of body, soul and spirit is by faith proven by works. 1 T hess. 5-23. And as the body Without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead. James 2-20. There- fore to this little few, and for this glory, Jesus said: I prav f Eather youitakc them not out of the world, but keep them from the evil. ohn 17-15. And loyalty and patriotism is to be true and upright to both God and man; and if -not loyal and true to God, how could they be to man‘? for the ﬁrsii and greatest command is to love the Lord thy God withthy whole-' heart, soul, mind and strength, and this takes in bodv, soul: and spirit. Matt.-22-37. The next is like unto it, to love thy neighbor. as thyself. And according to the parable-of the- good Samaritan, Jesus who taught and brought life ‘and mortality to light through the «' ' " ” gospel is the best ‘and greatest neighbor of mankind, the saviour of the world. , -.

This woman is called the Jerusalem Mother; (Galatians 4-26 ;) and in other places she has come down prepared as a bride, and to gather her children and bring them to, the cleansing, and the new birth which is not of blood, norof the will of the ﬂesh, nor of man, but of God. - John 1-13. And as the virgin Mary brought forth Jesus the j firstborn, so there was a spiritual Mother; and when they spoke of Mary being blessed, Jesus said, Yea, but much more ‘ ‘blessed IS the, womb that never bare, and the paps that never . gaye suck!——i. e., 'to the evil. And she will not bring forth children born in sin and shapen in iniquity as the first Eve and her generations; but these are‘to be overcomers, and have ‘ their blood cleansed. Joel 3-21.

Job 33-23. Therefore the Revelation of Jesus Christ to John was for this visitation. which was to be opened and the things written in a book which he heard in the Lord's d:1y——the sabbath which yet reniziins for the people of God; but must be given in this sixth day, which is shortened for the elects sake. And by this sabbath iiiesszigc Israel must be gathered and prepared, this being preparation time going before the szibbnth. Therefore, and for this cause, the Seventh sounds in the sixth day. in which he nizikes man in his imiigc zind likeness—bone of his bone and ﬂesh of his flesh. quickencd by the spirit of the latter Adam who wiis made by water and bl0od—not of \\".It(‘I‘ only, but of blood— taking part of the nature of the first Adaiii, which was blood; therefore he gave it 11p. Heb. 2-14. And he also took upon himself the form of God, and linked himself with man. Therefore it says, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me) to do thy will, () God; and :1 body hast thou prepared me! Heb. 10-7, 5. And he being only the first- born, the sons of God must now be manifest by this visit- ation. consisting of seven sounding angels, all sounding and all at work in the Seventh, by which the mystery will be finished, as declared to his servants the prophets. And all written for us upon whom the end has come; (1 Cor. 10-11 ;) and at the end he shall speak and not lie. For, “V\"hen He, the Spirit of truth, that 0//zcr Comforter"~the ﬁrst child and the first coming was for the soul by the atonement, a free gift of grace without works; (Ephesians 2-8;) by whom, and for the soul salvation, the first Comforter was sent. The second spoken of is now sent for the life of body, soul and spirit; and therefore he said, If I go away I will send him; and if I go and prepare a place, I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am, there ye may be also. And he shall reign with them on the earth; is Lord of the sabbath —Son of man to come, according to his Word, (Luke 6-5,) and the bride of the new creation. And therefore the seven sound in one as the thundering angels. And as the light- ning shineth from ,the east, from under heaven, even unto the west, so shall the coming of the Son of man be. Matt. 24-27. Unto Shiloh Shall the Gathering of the People Be. Gen. 49-10. , ND where the body is, there will the eagles be gathered together. And so the ministering spirits gather around 'the prepared body and set up the ensign, around which the gathering of the people shall be. And unto Shiloh, the Branch, they shall gather; and as Jesus said, Before the Son of man shall the nations be gathered. Therefore we have both the natural (the body) and the spiritual, Shiloh——the spiritual Christ and Jerusalem, and the body where the eagles gather; and as shown also at Jesus’ birth; whose conception was declared by angels, spoken of by the prophets -—bodies through which the angels speak. And as they speak, being moved by the Holy Ghost, of Jesus the firstborn, so also they speak of the Second who would stand up in his stead; and all the living considered with him. Eccl. 4-15. And therefore the great archangel (Gabriel) appeared to the shepherds iii the ﬁeld, and a great light shone around about; and there appeared the heavenly host with the captain of the Lord’s host—Christ Jesus, the new-born king. And this heavenly host with Gabriel sang “Peace on earth and good will toward men!”——which was for his second coming, in whom and by whom he would send in his name; as Jesus said, As my Father rent me into the world, so also send I you. And therefore when the Sonof man shall come, he will send his angels to gather his elect from the four winds, from the utterniost parts of the earth to the uttermost parts of heaven. Mark 13-27. . When the Son of Man Shall Come, He Shall Give Unto Every Man According As His Work Shall Be. Matthew 16-27. JESUS, after he grew up irrgrace and divine favor, and en- tered his greater ministry, after he was clothed upon by .Christ who made the worlds, and who made the world, (John 1-10,) he said, I came not to bring peace, but a sword, and to set man at variance against his neighbor; yet he was the Good Samaritan. But man rebelled against him, and cried out for the thief and a robber. He therefore did not establish his kingdom of peace then; as Paul said, If Jesus had given them rest he would afterwards spoken of another day; therefore there remaineth a sabbath of rest and peace. Therefore according to all the scriptures, in the second cc.niing—i. e., of the Second Child (Eccl. 4-15)—he will dethrone Satan and bind him for a thousand years that he deceive the nations no more, and bring peace on earth and good will toward men. These seven sounding thundcrs follow the lightning, that Israel may awake as the dry bones of the valley and stand upon their feet; and by wisdom only can they stand, for men die for lack of wisdom. These dry bones aic the seed of Israel, who have been sleeping in Adam, under the fall; for this valley spoken of is an open valley, as it says, Though I walk in the valley and shadow of death, I will fear no evil. But these arise at the prophesying of the Son of man, from whence they have been sleeping in Adam’s sleep, and stand upon their feet of understanding, and awake to righteousness and sin not; and walk in the light of the living. The whole world lieth in wickedness, and none seeketh after God; (Rom. 3-11;) and like the old Adam, or man of sin, reap the wages of sin, which is death; (Rom. (1-23;) and become meat for the serpent. who turns them to dust——consumed by a fire not blown—turned over to Satan for the destruction of the ﬂesh, and as it says in another place, made to be taken and destroyed. 2 Pet. 2-12. And as it is written, In Adam all die———i. e., in the works of the old Adam; but in Christ,‘ all shall be made alive, but every man in his own ordgr; as there are different glories, (1 Cor. 15-41,) and .crowned with honor and glory, etc. Published at Benton Harbor, Michigan, lJ.8.A. 4-M“_ many inzinsions in my Father’s house. And therefore when the Son of man shall come he shall give unto every man ac- cording as his works shall be. Matt. 16-27., But we must rightly divide between the old world, who were made robe taken and destroyed, and the new who are to live; Adam being the first of the old. and Jesiis the firstborn of the new. And the old. because of rebellion they have been consigiicd to rake - bodies in the old world first, tl121t,tl1t’_\' may get 21 .~Olil to be raised in the resurrection of the dead, or souls that sleep waiting rc:<urrcction to be made as angels; (.\l:irk 12-1;;l— not sons. Therefore the old Aduiiiic man or rzice was c:illc_d a soul, and not the body of Christ; and they receive :1 tree gift of grace without works. Therefore in speaking of the coming of the Son of man to give unto every man accoriliiig as I115 works shall be, is the new world, who show their faith by their works. And it says, “every man"—not angels. He never called angels sons; of which you will see explaiiicd in another place by following on. The Little Book Open in the Hand of the Angel. Rev. 10-2. ESUS said, I am the light of the world. John 8-1;. But we must rightly divide. His kingdom was not of the old world. And while he was the true and great light. we ask if the old world received that light‘? No! He shone in dark- ness, and the darkness comprehended it not: and tlzirkncss covers the earth, and gross darkness the hcarts and minds of_ the people. Isa. 60-2. Notwithstanding he was a light to lighten the Gentiles; but it was only in part, as Paul ex- claimed, and as shown in other places———remer1ibering it was the light of the atonement only under which they came, and it is a free gift. But to the new world, beginning with the 144,000 sons of God, he saith, Ye are the light of the world! —showing they receive the great light unto themselves, and by it will be made like him, (Matt. 5-14,) and by it will enter his» ministry under the high Melchisedec priesthood. And so it says they shall be made priests and kings unto our God. And by it they become saviours; as it says, “Saviours shall come upon mount Zion and judge the mount of Esau.” And to them’ he saith, Ye shall judge angels——and not that angels shall judge; but ye who become sons, and judge them- selves, and do the works that he did by the same spirit, and greater works, etc., and be raised with him higher than angels, And as to angels, he saith, they shall be put in subjection to the world to come. Heb. 2-5. Speaking of the Seventh Church, It Is Written: A Door Was Opened In Heaven. Rev. 4-1. ‘‘ ESUS said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep o-f the house of Israel; and said, My sheep hear my voice, and :1 stranger they will not follow. And most assuredly he preached the kingdom of God, which was the life of the body with- out death. And he also said, Know ye not the kingdom is within you? (Luke 17-21)——calling those things that be not as though they were; for ﬂesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorrup- tion. Therefore the blood must be cleansed and washed away —the VV0rd made ﬂesh; born of God, not of blood, but of ﬂesh and bone, and the spirit put within the temple instead of blood—which is the change, that this mortal shall put on immortality, and show a body of ﬂesh and bone like him who said, Feel, that a spirit hath not ﬂesh and bone as you see me have. Luke 24.-39. Therefore this visitation spoken of is given to the sounding angels to unsezil and finish the mystery of godliness, God manifest in the ﬂesh, in this the sixth day. Therefore the Seventh sounds in the sixth, because the time is shortened for the ingathering and restoration of Israel. And so the seed or remnant of the six foregoing churches under the foregoing angel messengers shall ﬂow into this the Seventh, (Mark 13-20,) or never could they be made perfect; because the scriptures cannot be broken, and the spirits of just now are to be made perfect. And as the mystery is to be God manifest in the ﬂesh, therefore this ‘mystery must be finished by the Seventh, as declared by the prophets and his servants. And therefore Paul said, Behold, I show youga mystery: VVe shall not all sleep (or die), but be changed at the sound of the last trump—which is the Seventh; for if the mystery of the redemption of the body is finished when the Seventh Angel sounds, what further need would there be for a further sounding, or by another angel? Furthermore, as Christ is the author and ﬁnisher of our faith -—the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, as spoken of by John—it shows the Seventh Angel Nlessenger must have this spirit called Christ, or Shiloh; because he is the Creator who declared the end from the beginning, and by whom the worlds were made. 'I‘herefo1-e the Lord him,‘-1f shall descend With‘ the voice of the archangel (Gabriel), and with the trump of God. And now, as the mystery is to he finished by the Seventh, who is be but Shi1oh‘__th'e Branch, the Messenger pf the covenant‘? and which covenant is the covenant of life immortal, and to be made alive in them——— the living V\’ord made ﬂesh. Therefore this is the message: “that light is come into the world!” and as he said, speaking Oi ‘hC_5‘*C9“<_i Child: and all the living who are considered with him, “Ye are the light of the world!" And this is San of man, and SIlll0l1,.1]I1tO.81’1d before whom shall be gathered all nations; who will bring their honor and glory into it. Therefore the Seventh holds within his hand the “Little Book Open!l’—unsealed to his people Israel. who hear and know his voice. Johnyio-4. And these things which John heard, when in the spirit caught over into the sabbath, the Lord's day——he being Lord of the sabbath—and was to write in a book and send to the seven churches, which had to be brought into existence by these foregoing sounding angels of JERUSALEM. s ' SIXTEENTH YEAR orirliiiimigiivfiii CREATION this visitation, before the Seventh could send the Book Open to them. Therefore the remnant, the seed which was to Come to Whom the promise was made, now will receive the “Little Book” and recognize the voice of the Master—-the voice of the flrchangﬁl With the trump of God, etc. Therefore in speak- , V 1“? 0f_ the Seventh, it says, “A door was open in heaven'." it -——Wl1lCl1 is the. spirit of paradise, and the holy city, the new J€_“1531€1T1s _Wh1cli has come down, and which is the beginning = of the creation of God; for when the Seventh Angel begins to 501}Y‘ids ‘Chi? mystery shall be ﬁnished, as set forth by the scriptures, which has been scaled till this the time of the (ind, (Rev. 10-7,) and written for us upon whom the end has come. And so the Lord shall set his hand the second time to recover the remnant of his people Israel. And who is this Lord, but Son of man, spoken of by Jesus, before whom all nations shall be gathered‘?—i. e., first a remnant, the scat- tered seed from all nations. And all stand before God. both great and small, to be judged, having not judged themselves, and therefore must give an account of the deeds done in the body. 2 Cor. 5-io. But who are the judges? It is said, God. Truly! but God must be manifest in ﬂesh. And so he savs, gfe shall judge angels, principalities and powers, etc. 1 Cor. ‘3- . . The Law of the Spirit of Life Shall Set You Free From the Law of Sin and Death. Romans 8-2. AND it is wf/itten,VVhen the Seventh Angel sounded, voices were heard, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord and his Christ. Rev. 1 1-15. Many would claim, and do claim, all these things to have had its accomplishment at his ﬁrst coming; and yet vainly imagine, in contradiction to all that, and say they are con- verting the world and making it better. There is no doubt but it needs to be made better; but sometimes people get better who are sick, and then die. And so all the world are seeking death, and praying not to ﬁnd it inwardly, but out- wardly say they all must die; and holding with it, are already dead. But the dead cannot praise thee, death cannot celebrate thee, they who go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth. Isa. 38-18. All who believe in death shall surely ﬁnd it; for as their faith is, so be it unto them; (Matt. 9-29;) and as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead. And this is two-fold, as the natural body without the spirit (i. e., without their own spirit) is dead. And so without the spirit of life all are dead in trespasses and in sin, and must reap the wages” of sin, which is death; and the body goes to corruption, and corruption cannot inherit incor- ruption. And sin is a transgression of the law——i. e., of the law of the Spirit of life; and the sting of death is sin. 1 Cor. 1 - 6. 5 5Therefore to all who keep the law of righteousness, the law of the Spirit of life shall set him free- from the law of sin and death—not after death, but keep him from the law of sin and death. Rom. 8-2. So it is written, In the way of righteousness is life, and in the pathway thereof there is no death. Prov. 12-28. And so Elijah found this pathway, and did not die; and Enoch, that he might not see death ; (Heb. 1 1-5;) and Jesus brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, and came to abolish death, and to destroy him who had power of death, which is the devil. And Jesus said, Strait is the gate and narrow is the path that leadeth to life, and a few there be that ﬁnd it. Matt. 7-14. Great Christendom, in the face of all this, ‘say they are converting the world, and making it better—which would.be a very great host; and so it says, speaking of the resurrection of the souls of the dead as a great innumerable host, A great company that no man could number. But as to.Israel, who keep the commandments of God and have the faith of Jesus Christ, proved by works, they are the few who ﬁnd and walk in the strait and narrow path, and are numbered in the book of Revelation (14-3), and are sealed in the forehead by his laws being written within their inward parts,‘ and stamped upon their minds, that they may have the mind of Christ, and do the works that he did; (John 14-12;)'—-Sealed “M0 himself with seven seals by the seven spirits of God. And as Jesus grew in grace and divine favor, and learned obedience by the things he suffered, so also we must do the works that he did; and greater works than these shall ye do. John 14-12. 1 Sh 11 B Delivered Every One My Iilighgsfa Naiines Are Writteri in the - Book. Daniel . 12-1- FSUS ﬁrst showed the morning star-light, and so must we.

And these are the strait gates; and Israel will strive to enter in at the strait gates. And therefore he will build the temple of the Lord; and the walls shall go up in troublesome times. Daniel 9-25. And there shall be such a time of trouble as never was, no, nor ever shall be; (Daniel 12-1;) but my people shall be delivered, whose names are found written in the book—the Lainb’s Book of Life. Remember there are three books spoken of, two for the dead and one for the living. And so it says, And the books were opened, and the dead shall be judged out of the things written in the books; and another book was opened, called, The Book of Life. Rev. 20-12. The law and gospel are held by Jew and Gentile, and both get death by the dead letter which killeth; and having not judged themselves, must be judged out of the things written in the books. And another “LITTLE BOOK OPEN” is the Book of Life —the Living Roll of a book, the Flying Roll. And an angel was seen ﬂying through the midst of heaven, (dwell- ing in the spirit,) having the everlasting ‘gospel to preach to them which dwell upon the earth. Rev. 14-6. And this is the gospel of the kingdom; and the kingdom is to be within you. And we therefore seek a kingdom. Hebrews 1 1, 14-16. And the kingdom shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High; (Daniel 7-27;) and after the destruction, Daniel says, There shall be another kingdom set up, which IF SIN BRINGS DEATH, RIGHT- EOUSNESS BRINGS LIFE. Proverbs 12-28. IN reading Israelfs literature we hope you will keep before you, and notice how it is rightly divided; otherwise you might become confused. ii However you cannot help but see the beautiful harmony shown in all apparent contradictions; and when you once see that the life of the body, soul and spirit is the substance of the scripture, you then cannot help but understand the scriptures; and no one can put you to shame. Therefore study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that necdeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth; (2 Tim. 2—15;) bearing in mind that the soul salvation is a free gift of grace without works; (Eph. 2-8, 9;) while the life of the body is by faith and works ——faith proven by works. James 2-18. As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead. James 2-17. i So you can see that faith without works is dead, and for the soul after the body is dead; and the body that is dead is without spirit, and goes to corruption. Therefore to the living it is the spirit that quickeneth. So it is written, The ﬂesh proﬁteth nothing except it be quickened by the spirit. So this Spirit of truth is given by which you can see the ﬂesh must be quickened ; and so in Christ all are made alive, in their order. This is that Spirit of truth——that o/her Comforter, which the world cannot receive; and will guide you in the way of all truth, and show you things to come. John 16-13. To be carnally minded is death. Therefore they who hold with death are carnally minded; and so reap the wages of sin, which is the death of the body. And sin is the trans- gression of the law—-—i. e., the law of life; and the sting of death is sin. 1 Cor. 15-56. And so they go down in dis- honor, (1 Cor. 15-43,) because God cannot be gloriﬁed in 21 dead temple; for, The grave cannot praise thee, death cannot celebrate thee; they who go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth. Isa. 38-18. Therefore let us walk before God in the light of the living. Psa. 56-13. Lust when conceived brings forth sin, and sin when ﬁnished brings forth death. James 1-15. Therefore if sin brings forth death, what would ‘righteousness bring but life? If we sow to the ﬂesh we shall of the,ﬂesh reap corruption; and it is the body only that reaps corruption by sin; and corruption cannot inherit incorruption. 1 Cor. 15-50. Therefore the life of the body must be obtained without going to the grave; for this mortal must put on im- mortality; (1 Cor. 15-53;)—i. e., of the body; for your vile body shall be changed and fashioned like unto his glorious body. Phil. 3-21. For those whom he _ foreknew, he ,did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his son, (Rom. 8-29,) whose body saw not corruption; (Acts 13-37;) and we shall be like him. 1 John 3-2. Straight and Narrow Is the‘ Path That Leadeth Unto Life, and a Few There Be That Find It. Matt. 7-14. EMEMBER the soul salvation is a free gift of grace with- out works. But those who do the works that he did, will receive the same reward, and be made like him—raised with him higher than angels, crowned with honor and glory; and he was seen on mount Zion, having with him 144,000, re- deemed from among men. Rev. 14-4. Therefore this is the time and day of visitation to gather themselves together and prepare their bodies—and not only their bodies, but to be trained in wisdom and knowledge of the truth; as his reward is with him and his work before him. So Israel are to be gathered and prepared against this the day of battle; and this is preparation day going before the Sabbath of rest that yet remaineth for the people of God. As man is made in the sixth day, the time is shortened for his elect’s sake, or no ﬂesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days are shortened. He declared the end from the beginning,’ and , Published at Benton Harbor, Michigan, lJ.S.A. PAGE 5 calls those things that be not as though they were, etc. So in / the image of God created he him; and, The thing that has been shall be, and God requireth the thing which is passed. There- fore in his own image created he him—Jesus; ﬁrstbegottcn and ﬁrstborn offspring of the creation of God; and male and female created he them—-the seed and elect to whom the promise was made. Gal. 3-19. Those whom he foreknew he did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his 5072. ' In resurrection of the dead, remember they are neither male nor female; and no marrying nor giving in marriage. Therefore there is no bridegroom and no bride among. the dead. But to Israel, they are male _and female; and Christ IS the Bridegroom, and Israel the bride~—bone of his bone and. ﬂesh of his ﬂesh; living bones of the body of Christ, and lively stones. Jesus is the chief corner stone of this great immortal building. Adam was :1 ﬁgure of him who was to- come—Jesus the ﬁrstbegotten and ﬁrstborn; whose second’ birth was not of blood, nor of the will of the ﬂesh, nor of man; but of God. And so we are to do the works that he did——he being our pattern and waymark; and so will be like him, with ﬂesh and bone bodies by the new birth. Therefore this ingathering, in fulﬁllment of scripture, is to be as in the: _ . days of Noah—as Noah was a ﬁgure and type of the Son of man; as Jesus said, As. in the days of Noah, so shall it be in, the coming of the Son of man; and before him shall all nations be gathered. Matt. 25-31, 32. . In this article we wish to brieﬂy hold before you, the. keys by which the seals are unlocked; making known to, you the mysteries of life, full and complete, and the law by, which it must be obtained, viz., the righteousness of the law; as it says, In the way of righteousness is life, and in the path-. way thereof there is no death. Prov. 12-28. Therefore as- Jesus said, Straight and narrow is the path, and a few there_ ’be that ﬁnd it. Straight is the gate and narrow is the way that ’__ leads to‘ life, and a few there be that ﬁnd it. Matt. 7-14. But remember, the great host spoken of in resurrection from the, dead (i. e., of the soul) are described as a great host—-—so great}, no man could number them; (Rev. 7-9;) but the elect are. spoken of as a few, who are number.ed—‘i44,ooo, redeemed’ from among men, etc. Therefore the law of the Spirit of life; shall set us free from the law of sin and death-——not aftefa death, but from death; and the truth shall set us free, and we shall 132: free indeed. The wages of sin is death. But if they are set free from the law of sin and death, how could they die‘? The keys are given to used to understand the scriptures which have been scaled till this the time of tlii end and day of visitation. » Let Not Sin Reign in Your Mortal Bodies '_ Romans 6-12. * ‘ I SO ‘I iiiightsy here,‘-the scriptures speak of things as? they are attainablei’ and are obtained by a simple clai and speaks as if e.sp‘irit is in you; and as if you are bo1'n~ : God, etc; Buti:.ﬂesh.;and blood cannot inherit the kingdom God. Yet it as if the kingdom is in you‘—1upon—_,wh many make clai_i‘n§'~;not understanding the mystery because it 1 sealed from both Jews and Gentiles. For instance: It‘say He stood as a lamb slain from the foundation ‘of the~worl, —yet he was not slain till four thousand years rolled away.‘ So he calls those things that be not as though they were al-, ready done. Again, in speaking of Jesus it says, Unto us a child 2': born—and yet he was not born for many years. Unto us a son 2': given. Isa. 9-6. Therefore the key is- necessary. So as he declared the end from the beginning, iall.-, things are written for us upon whom the end has come—cal ing those things that be not; yet fulﬁlled as _if they were already done, etc. Now notice! Those who claim the spirit is in them, they make themselves out to be greater than Jesus-, was, and make claims that he did not make; for remember Jesus had blood, and took part of the nature of sinful man. —i. e., blood, but not the evil; and at about thirty years of age, at the river Jordan, the spirit was seen to rest zkpon him —not in him. Further proof: He entered the synagogue and said, The spirit of the Lord is upon me—not in me. Why . Because he still had blood. After the blood was shed on the Cross. then it was put in him ; and then hewas born of God —immortal; born not of blood. John 1-13. So it says, B inheritance he obtained a much more excellent name than the angels-—.but not ﬂesh and blood. Flesh and blood cannot 1nl'lCI'lt.tl'1.C kingdom of God. So he had to shed his blood be-, fore this immortal inheritance could have its accomplishment,- or be manifested. Nowtwhile, yet having blood,'many claim -—-‘contrary to scriptures——,to be ‘born of God; and claim the spirit to be in them; and, upon asking them if they sin, they ’ say, “Well, no; it is not I that sin, but sin that dwellethiii me.” Yet at the same time, they claim that Christ is in them.‘ What a contradiction! So they make out that Christ and sin both dwell in them togetheremaking God’s Word to ‘ none effect. The scriptures say to Israel, Let not sin reign ' in your mortal bodies. - ‘ Man must ﬁrst be cleansed from the Adamic evil; as . it says, I will cleanse your blood, and afterwards take it away.

We knew absolutely they couldn’t find anything ‘wrong in the article; and it didn’t matter what they did to us, they couldn’t harm us. It was just as we were packing ‘ up and leaving to catch the train, that the federal deputy marshal came up and arrested us. He had a man with him, and “this fellow was underlining seyeral places. in the artic1e_ Hemarked all the first paragraph, then handed it to the marshal. He then took charge of our box and us, and took us around to the county jail. He had us there from 1 1 : 30 a. -m. till nearly 6 p. m. In the meantime he was reading it, sizing it up along with the federal judge, or commissioner, . so we were tol'd. VV.ell about 5 o’elock he took us around to another place to be cross-questioned, and it happened that one of the commissioners had been up to thecolony, and had met you, Benjamin; and so was very much in .our favor. He ‘understood our faith, and had a talk with you, and some of .,the brothers. As soon as he saw our paper, and who it was, —he said to the marshal, “You have made,a mistake. These people are all right!” and went on and tcfldﬁfhem of our.place', etc. He asked how we stood in regardto the war, and if we talked against it, and so on—-questio/nslike that; all of which we answered satisfactorily. We happene'd‘%o;have an article ,sent us from home, taken from the “De ijoit— Free Press.” They saw that, and the article arnuse”,d~:.¢ii§i’ri. You know it speaks well of our boys at camp. It says they are noncom- batants, but express deep love for their country, and do not object to being sworn into service. That ﬁnished the whole matter, as long as our boys do not object. We showed them their pictures in uniforms. They said, It is a puzzle what they can do with the boys. They ﬁnally apologized, and were very nice to us. We thanked the two judges. As we missed our train, we decided to stay and lecture here till Monday, and ' thought it would make a good impression; for the people all .— knew about it. They had it all around town we were arrested for spies, etc. And it turned out good that wgstayed. Many came and asked us how we got on. We spoke twice yesterday. We had such ﬁne interested crowds both times. The police were there too, also the federal judge who had been to the colony. It was the best class of people who came to hear us. I enquired who the man was, with the marshal, who ‘had us arrested, and who underscored portions of our paper. Well, as usual, it was a preacher. Where he got the paper from was a puzzle we couldn’t ﬁnd out. This kind of trouble so continuously makes one nervous, although we are not the least afraid, for we know right will always prevail; and God 5 “Yird is sure to protect His people.

I ttiurnecl to ltt £1I1l1Cl.rCfld2 mlfhey are raging waves of the sea, oamingou t eir own siamei wan erino stars to whom is reserved the blackness of darkifess for evef.” I ".1lS0 read to them the 14th and 15th verses: And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousand of his saints, to execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them, of ‘ all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. By this time you could hear a pin drop, the crowd were so attentive. Now Jesus is called the Root; and a Branch is to spring from his roots. Then I read Acts 17-31: “Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness, by that mmi whom he hath ordained.” Now it is written again in Jer. 33-15, In those days, and at that time will I cause the Branch of right- eousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judg- ment and righteousness in the land. I also read Jer. 23-5: Behold the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment in the earth. And Zech. 6-12 shows that a man will be chosen, whose name is the Branch: Thus it reads, “Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying, Be- hold the man whose name is, The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and build the temple of the Lord.” And showing you that these things were for the time of the end, I will now read Isa. 4-2, 3: In that day shall the Bram]; of the Lord be beautiful and glorious. Jesus was made both Lord and Christ; (Acts 2-36;) then the Branch of him, must be him whom he sends. And the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel. And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem. This shows God will have a faithful people, who mjist have a Standard-——a head, whose God shall be our God. He is also called the other Comforter, that Jesus said he would send. St. John 14-16, 17 : And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you arzot/zer Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive (for the world will reject him as the Jews rejected Jesus), because it seeth him not; but ye know him. John also speaks of this Comforter to be sent, and says this: He should testify of Christ. John 15-26. ..And when ‘the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth; which procccdetli from the Father, he (notice! he says, He/.——not himself, but some one else) shall testify of me. Then this is some one to come, who will testify of him—~his younger brother. AS is Writt€r1, He shall luv the foundation thereof in his firstborn, (Jesus was the firsfborii; Rom. 8-29; Micah 6-7;’) and in his youngest Son shall he set up the gates of it. Solomon also speaks of him as the Second Child. Eccl. 4-15: I considered all tht‘ living which wrilk under the sun, with the Second Child that shall stand up in his stead. He is called the Son of man by Jesus, in Matt. 25-31, 32. Jesus was Son of God, and speaks of this Son of man from amongst the sons of men, who would tesrifv of him. John 15-26. As Isa. 17-; says, At that day shall ii mun look to his Maker, and his e_ves\<.h:ill have respect to the Holy One of Israel. And we know that even the devils -.icki1owled',:ed him the Holy Ont-. They siiid, VVe know thee, who thou zirt. thou Holy One of lsriicll And this man, who will be l‘zli.~'(’(l Llp,‘\\'lll have respect to Uirist. the Holy Om‘, and do his bidding. \\'e also inzidc plain the time we are living in: showiiig ' them the Lord's diiy of 21 tlioiisuiid ycziiz-', illltl rliiit we have had six d:1_v~‘—.<ix rhoiisziiid years, siiicc rhc fzill of .-\<l;iiii. of S:1t11n's kingiloiii of dciith here on earth: and that he i.-' to b«- boiiiid for ‘.l thoii.-and years‘.

Is that all you are going to s;i_v tonight‘? She .-‘ziid, Yes. So he went off, after having supplied hiiii.-‘elf with litcriitiire along with tlic rest. One man got the whole seven BOOKS or VVISDOM; another took the sixth and seventh BOOKS or VVisnoM; he got the first five some time ago; others taking papers and LITTLE BOOKS. ' A soldier boy also stepped up to us, and stated he was from New Mexico; and that his parents got the literature from us in Baton, N. .\/I., about 1912. He said that his mother is 21 strong believer; and that she sends the SIIILOH Mi:ssi:.\'ci~:i>. or VVisi:voM to him, and he also thinks it is the truth. He has other soldier comrades interested, and is going to try to get permission for us to have speaking quarters out at Camp Kearney, about 15 or 16 miles from here. San Diego is in a beautiful place; great places of interest all around here. We a-re holding our meetings on a vacant lot, as no speaking is allowed on the street. If we could speak on the street we would have grand meetings here. People are here from all parts of the world. It certainly is a lively place. VVe go up on the street, and I play the violin, and Rosie chords on the auto-harp, and in 21 few minutes we have a crowd. Then we announce our meeting down on the lot, and go down there. Of course, there are many more who would listen, if we could speak on the street, but they will not go out to the lot. We have been surprised to see as many come as have, so far. Two or three parties are looking up a place to have us speak indoors, so the women can come out at night and hear us; as it is a little too cool outdoors at night. There are several French soldiers here, dressed in their uniform. They are instructing the soldiers in the new arts of warfare, now used in France. We received the welcome letter from home last.week, and are always anxious to know how the boys are at Camp Custer; and to know of the improvements, and the arrivals of new ones to the ark of safety. The air ships are making a great noise around here now. One has just come right by, low down, in front of us. It is one that lights on the water. Some of them are for the land, and others for the water. We must close for this time. VVe expect to be here a while yet. Yours in Israelis most holy faith for the king- dom, _ ’ ROSIE AND WALTER. WARNING ! BEWARE of imposters who go out from us, that it might be made manifest that they are not of us. In the true meaning of that quotation might be difficult to understand, until you understand the true meaning of the sheep of the true Shepherd. Jesus said, My sheep kiiow my voice, and a stranger they will not follow. John 10- 5. Jesus wore long hair and wore beard, and being a shepherd of his sheep, and their pattern and waymark, it follows that his sheep wear long hair and heard also. And they know his voice, or Spirit of ‘ truth, Spirit of prophecy, which is the testimony of Jesus Christ, and to receive not him, i. e., this little child whom I send in my name, they receive not me. 1\Iatt. 18- 5. Notwith- standing this, it must be remembered, goats are a similar thing to sheep, and if wolves put on sheep’s clothing, they would , appear somewhat similar, in order to catch the sheep easy, i., e., by this they deceive the sheep. Therefore try the spirits to see whether they be of God or not. 1 John 4-1. And as God sends his Messenger of his covenant’ and standard bearer, he must bear the testimony of Jesus Christ, and be in harmony with him, as he said, I and my Father are one; and I in you and you in me, etc. John 10-30. And in this message of life and ingathering thereto, you must rightly divide the word of truth lest you could not discern between a sheep and a goat, nor between Christ and antichrist. And remember the scriptures plainly speak of anticliristwlio go out from us and work in opposition. 1 John 1-18, 19. Such are now in operation and opposition, and work by transformation and in reprobation, deceiving and being deceived, or rather deceiving themselves in tryirig to deceive others. Therefore we feel it our duty to warn you, and feel that it is fair and just to you to do so. They seem to be publishing and promising you liberty, while they themselves are in the bondage of corruption and the gall of bitterness. Acts 8-23. The House of David are well es- tablished on the Rock by the truth, unmovnble and un- shziketi, and therefore abide for ever. And the ingzithering is going 011 according to the scriptures. l\l‘.1t.t. 23-31. 32. The lust of the eye, and pride of life, and :1ll these things shall pass away, but he that doeth the will of my Fiither shall abide for ever, and he shall not pass l1\\‘(1)';'(1 John 2-17;) for he says, He will not only once more sihzike the earth, but also heaven, that the tliings which are Sll‘.ll{t‘l1 might be removed, and the things which cannot be shiiikeii might reiiiain.

THEY SHALL JUDGE PRINCIPALITIES AND POVVERS. 1 JOHN 3-2; REV. 2-26. IN reading and studying Isracl"s literature, bear in mind this Y ‘ ‘ key: All is written for us upon whom the end has come. lhis at ﬁrst glance may not seem to be according to all Scriptures, as miich has been fulﬁlled. But in connection with this, I will call your attention to another key, which is this: The thing that has been, shall be again, and God reqiiireth the thing which is past. Eccl. 3-1;. Yet it is true, we are to rightly divide; as all scriptures pertaining to life and iinmortality are written for Israel, the seed to whom the promise was made. And notwithstanding this, even the soul salvation for both Jew and Gentile is for the time of the end, when resurrection shall take place. Therefore all scriptures point to the great and notable dav of the Lord —day of visitation, and for judgment—the great and dread- ful day of the Lord, when he shall judge the quick and the dead. And judgment first begins at the house of God, where will the sinner and the ungodly appear? Therefore if the gospel is hidden (sealed), it is sealed and hidden to them that are lost—i. e., those who believe in death, and lose their bodies; as it says, They suffer loss. The Creature Itself Also Shall Be Delivered From the Bondage of Corruption. Romans 8-21. NOVV furthermore, it is written, There is no God in all the earth but in Israel; and this we will explain. As “He is not the god of the dead but the living, and takes no pleasure in death!” therefore he cannot be gloriﬁed in dead bodies. Now in another way we will show you how he is not the god of the dead: He made not death; and Jesus came to abolish death and destroy the author of it, and to set all prisoners free—-—both the living, and the souls of the dead. But to the living, the truth shall set them free; for the law of the spirit of life shall set us free from the law of sin and death; and the creature itself also shall be i delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. Rom. 8-21. Now why is there no God in all the earth but in Israel? Because the dead must be raised and come to the living to be judged; and Jesus Christ liveth ever—a high priest after the order of lVIelchisedec, having neither beginning of days nor end of life. And the elect are to be made like him. Of them i it saith, They shall judge angels, principalities and powers; but first must judge themselves that they_be not judged. 1 Cor. 11-31. Now again, in another way, I will show you the truth of this matter, about which we have many questions asked——viz., _why it is said, There is no God in all the earth but in Israel: Because Israel walk‘ before God in the light of the living——which is his will; for he willeth not the death of any man. Satan is called the god of the dead, and liveth not——i. e., there is no eternal life in him; and he that hates his brother abideth in death. Now, as God is the God of the living and not the god of the dead, I will show you why, and how, by rightly dividing the word of truth. Notice: In‘Adam all die; and Adam is not God. He might have thought he was God had he not sinned and fell—by which death came into the world; and death passed upon all (in Adam) because all have sinned; (Rom. 3-23, 5-12;) and like Adam, and in Adam, all die. But note! In Christ all are made alive, but every man in his own order. Therefore, you see, no death in Christ. Death cannot abide in him; nor can those who " believe and hold with death abidegin him-—much less he in them. But as to the soul,’ it was purchased on the cross, and was made a free gift. And after the body is dead, note: It is turned over to Satan for the destruction of the ﬂesh, and consumed by a ﬁre not blown; to rise no more. VVhen the soul is raised, it is raised by Christ, who is able to raise the dead; and they therefore are then in Christ, and not till then-—made as angels. But first the living—God’s elect, called Israel—are to be madeummortal. Notice: Their vile bodies, while they are _yet alive, shall be changed and fashioned like unto his glorious body; who was raised higher than angels, crowned with honor and glory. .

SHILOH’S MESSENGER or WISDOM is dead. Therefore Jesus said, (which must yet bi; fulfilled.) The works that I do shall ye do also, and greater works than these shall ye do. And why. and how‘? By that same Spirit which did the works for him, it will be done now for Israel. And by that Spirit these are called saviours; as -it says, Saviours shall come upon mount Zion and judge the mount of Esau; which thing I must now explain, that you may be able to understand what this Esau class means. i\Iount Esau is the glory of the moon, or the class who will only obtain their blood cleansed, but not taken away; and will live during the millennium as servants, plowinen and vinedressers. Isa‘. 61-5. VVhy they are spoken of as Esau, is because of the blood. Esau carries with it a two-fold meaning. Esau, of the old world, signifies the red dragon, or man in blood, with the evil in the blood—called the old world. Therefore Jacob and Esau were twins; and Esau came out ﬁrst, as a ﬁgure of the old world of sin ﬁrst; and Jacob last, holdgof. his heel—showirig the lapping time in this shortened; time, when Jacob will now be manifest in anti-type. And so it is written in the Apocrypha, Esau the passing away of the old world, and Jacob the beginning of the new. Andso it is written, Two nations_ are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels. Now in this visitation, Moses was of Esau. This Esau class, by the righteousness of the law, will live in the law. But do not confound the righteousness of the law with the curse of the law of carnal commandments. The old Esau world die; but, In the way of righteousness there is life, and in the pathway thereof there is no death. But mount Zion—-—God’s elect, to be made immortal——;ire to judge mount Esau, by the laws thatggo forth from mount Zion,'for a thousand years sabbath day of rest. Strait Is the‘Gate, and Narrow Is the Way, That Leadeth To Life, and a,Few There Be That Find It. Matt. 7-14. LET us get back to the key, that, All is written for us upon whom the end has come—which means to say, in this the time of the end—i. e., this the shortened time for the elect’s sake, and in this the day of visitation; when all scriptures———which have been sealed till the time of the end—shall now be unsealed, and the mystery made known to God’s elect, to whom the promise was made. I say all scriptures—-even object lessons——are written for us, that we may proﬁt by them. Ever since the day Adam sinned and was driven from the garden of Eden, cherubims were placed with ﬂaming swords to turn every way to keep the way of the tree of life, lest man, who sinned through disobedience, reach forth and partake of the tree of life and live for ever. Therefore in Adam all die. And by the sin of one man death came, and ﬂaming swords of death were placed to keep children of death from entering; and so death passed upon all because all have sinned. Therefore in Adam all die, without the garden gates. But Jesus said, Strait is the gate and narrow is the way that leadeth to life, and a few there be that ﬁnd it. Therefore, Strive to enter in at the strait gate. And how ca we strive and enter? Only by obedience to the Word of God—the paradisical laws that Adam broke. So it says, Many shall strive to enter in and shall not be able. And why? Because they will not strive lawfully, andaccording to the Word of God. To him that overcometh shall I give to eat of the tree of life; and to him that overcometh (as I have overcome) shall I grant to sit down with me in my throne, as I have overcome and am set down with my Father in his throne——doing the works that he did, and greater works by overcoming the evil within, which he did not have. Therefore he has promised, I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed, for the Lord dwelleth, in Zion. Joel 3-21. There shall be a fountain opened in the House of David for sin and for uncleanness. A garden inclosed is my sister, a spring shut up, a fountain. sealed! (Song of Sol. 4-12)—now unsealed by the law of Christ. The par- adisical laws will roll the stone away, and the spring and fountain of life will be_a refreshing stream from the presence of our Lord and his Christ. He that believeth in me.‘ as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall ﬂow rivers of living water; and it shall be in him a well of living water springing up into everlasting life.

ONCE more it gives me pleasure to write you a few lines and let you know of our labors of love, searching for the lost sheep of the house of Israel, who will now hear the voice of the Master; as Jesus said, My sheep know my voice, and they follow me, and I give unto them eternal life and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of myhand. They know his voice of life, who taught life, “Pd Said: .1 am the way, the truth and the life; for-he brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, gindrqime is the devil. 2 Tim. 1-10. I, On‘? Person, after I showeg her -the LITTLE BOOK. said, Yes they are all nice bible stories.” I said, This is not stories. It is the truth! Jesus said, I am the way, the truth End thﬁ life; ‘(John 14-6;) and speaking to the elect, his rethren, he said, Ye shall know the truth, and it shall make 3011 free; (John 8-32 ;)—free from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. Rom. 8-21. So this; LITTLE BOOK is truly little in the eyes of the world, who have little time for it, as they tell us they have no time; to read it. 1 ‘ understood the bible- - Well. I said, it says, The books shall be opened. Now what books does it mean when it says, The books shall be opened? He said he did not know. So I I told him, the books were the law and the gospel; and the dead shall be judged out of _the things written in the books— the Jewsby the law, and Gentiles by the gospel; and another book IS. spoken of called the “Book of Life”’for the 1'1Vin'g'~,. who. will judge themselves, and so will not be judged- b‘ shall judge angels, principalities and powers ;. and shal l the Tlatlfmso Who Shallvbririg their honor and glory int _I-Ioly City—which is the redeemed,’ the 144,000, spoken in 7th and 14th chapters of Revelation, of‘ all the tribes of, Israel. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, lZ)Cll’l°‘ the ﬁrstfruits unto God and the Lamb. And in their rnguths was found no guile, for they are without fault before the throne of God. Rev. 14-4, 5. \ f Another man said, to me, Do you mean to say, that the number you quote is all that is going to be s;1\~"ed:_l said, No, certainly not! for after John saw the number of , the sealed, he said he beheld, and lo, a great multiI:u'de, which i no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds and] people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and befoie the 2 Rev. 7-9.

U.s.A. ‘JOSEPH AND BENJAMIN Rachel Weeping For-Her Children. Be Joy- . ful, 0 Thou Mother, With Thy Children; for I Will Deliver Thee, Saith the Lord. Apoc. 2 Esd. 2-30. INCE the day Eve was deceived and blinded by the sub- tility of the serpent, and by which Adam fell, they were ' driven out of the garden, and the gates closed and sealed, with cherubims with ﬂaming swords turning every way to.keep the tree of life, and the fountain of life sealed ‘ till this fie day and time of visitation. The VVord of ‘God is the bread of life; and the spirit is the water and _»fountain of life; and they who drink of this- water shall never ‘thirst again, and they who eat this bread shall never die, but live for ever. John 6-51. Therefore seek not the bread that perisheth, but seek for that bread that the Son of man ‘shall give, and perish not; for without a vision the people perish; but it saith, The vision is‘ for an appointed time, ’ and at the end it shall speak and not lie. This is the Spirit of ‘ truth, which is to lead you in the way of ALL truth and show you things to come. Rachel, who was supposed to be weeping for her chil- dren, was referred to at the time all children were slain by decree of king Herqd———a type of the devil trying to take the life of Jesus, the babe $0111‘ in Bethlehem. Herod was mocked and defeated by the wise men, and all object , lessons are written fqr this the time of the end. ‘Rachel, _ in all scripture, stood as a ﬁgure of Jerusalem above, who is free, the Mother of us all. The children were a ﬁgure of (‘the spirits of the just-/—-children not then born, i. e., were not. Rom. 9-11. Let Israel Rejoice and Re Glad! It Is Tidings of Comfort .and Joy. Luke 6-23; 8-1. the things of scripture are written for :1 generation to come; and they shall come again to their own border, and return to that country of paradise from whence they came.“ Therefore it was said, Rachel, refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears, for thy children shall ?come to the land of theiliving; and the devil of death (of which Herod was a ﬁgure) will be defeated, and mocked orse than the w.ise men did to Herod. Rachel was the ‘ee-woman of Jacob, whose name was changed to Israel “by,” wrestling with the angel of God till he received the blessing. He wrestled till the break of day; and so it is written, He that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved, arid receive the blessing and crown of life. Rachel, lwho had two sons———Joseph and Benjamin——is, a ﬁgure of , the Jerusalem Mother, called the Holy Ghost; i. e., of this latter visitation and latter rain. Zech. 10-1. Joseph and Benjamin were ﬁgures of the‘ ﬁrst and second Son of man— Jesus, and the Second Child who stands up in his stead with the Lord’s silver cup, and corn in his sack’s mouth ; which is the bread of life. Benjamin sat with Joseph at his table, and his mess was ﬁve times more, and raiment likewise. Benjamin shall ravin as a wolf, and divide the spoil in the great commonwealth, both spiritual and natural; as'it is written, Benjamin, beloved of the Lord, shall dwell safely by him; and the Lord shall cover him all the day long. These sons are ﬁrstbom and second of the free; and all the living are considered with him. ‘It is the .Lord’s doings. Let Israel rejoice and be glad! It is good tidings of comfort I and joy! and no corn can be obtained except his younger brother be with you. I‘ Am Come That Ye Might Have Life, and P Have It More Abundantly. John 10-10. in THROUGH envy of the devil, Joseph was sold and cast into the pit; and through envy of the devil, Jesus was sold, or betrayed into the hands lof sinners; and they who delivered him into the hands of wicked men hath the greater sin. He was cast as into the pit, which was meant for evil, bl“ God meant it for good; and all things work together for , good to; them who love God—Jesus ﬁrst, Israel second——. and are so called according to his purpose. Joseph was raised on the throne—and so was Jesus raised and seated at the right hand of God; and the great famine arose in the land, which proved to be for the best good. Nevertheless, it did not justify those who sold him into Egypt. ‘Yet God brought the best good out of it for all. Likewise in the case Sf Jesus, it was meant for evil by those who were envious; but God brings good for all out of it—‘-even to them who condemned him. Joseph was sold by his own——and so Jesus came unto his own and they received him not. Joseph was sold for twenty pieces, and_Jesus for thirty; and the Jews condemned him and turned him over to the Gentiles to crucify him between the two thieves—both Jew and Gentile. So Jesus said All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers——-viho rob God of the temple, and tried to rob him of the life and temple of Jesus. They all gried out for :1 robber to be released—a ﬁgure of the devil; and they have had the devil loosed unto them; md he 8063‘ UP and down k’n whom he may devour. He is the thief that Cometh 5“ to kill and to destroy. But Jesus said, I AM Comt iliiit ue might have life, and have it more abundantly. John 10.1; So it provides the bread of life for this the day of famine' as it is written, There shall be 21 famine In the j nd.._not,a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but 0:‘ hearing the Word of God. They who sold Joseph, said: 0 Some evil _beast hath devoured him; and they dipped a coat in blood, and held it up to Jacob. Likewise in Jesus’ case—and they are still holding up the garment of blood from the cross, and :1 fountain ﬁlled with blood. But as Joseph proved to ‘be alive, so also is Jesus; who said, VVhy seek ye the living among the dead‘? He is not there; he has 37153“! Ag‘-ll“. ht? Sﬂith, I am he that was dead, but behold I am alive, and I live for everinore; (Rev. 1-18;) and becaiise I live ye slizill live also; (John 14-19;) for they who eat the bread that the Son of man shall give in this the great time of spiritual famine, they shall live and not die. John (1-50. Joseph tried and proved his brethren by his younger brother—second son of Rachel. And so Jesus is doing likewise ‘now in this the visitation of Jesus Christ —the time of refreshing showers from the presence of our Lord and his Christ. Acts 3-19. Benjamin is the keystone of the arch; and was so in Egypt, and proven a blessing to all. But Joseph gave Benjamin the silger cup—which was his own cup that he divined in, (Gen. 44-5,) and which signified the Spirit of _truth, the testimony of Jesus. The Spirits of the Just Are the Children and Seed to Whom the Promise Was Made. Gal. 3-19‘, 26. IN the tribes, notice: The ten scattered; and Benjamin remained with Judah, with the law. Reuben, the elder, deﬁled his father’s bed, and lost the sceptre; and Judah, the next, was given the sceptre of the law of carnal command- ments. So it says, The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor the law-giver from between his feet, till Shiloh come; and unto Shiloh shall the gathering of the people be. Gen. 49-lo. Yet look what it says of, Joseph in the blessings: From Joseph shall come the chief Shepherd——the mighty stone of Israel. Jesus is the chief Shepherd and corner-stone of Israel; and Israel are the 144,000 stones of the great temple, of which Solomon’s temple was a ﬁgure. Now this may seem to be a paradox, as Jesus sprang from J udah’s tribe; but nevertheless itdescended from Joseph, as it says, From Joseph shall come the chief Shepherd and stone of Israel. Now the ten tribes who were scattered, and Judah with the sceptre of the law, make eleven tribes, and Benjamin the twelfth. But notice: The ten tribes were scattered and given up. Blindness in part happened to Israel till the fulness of the‘ Gentiles. Judah is the natural Jew; but since the day of Jesus, where is the tribe of Benjamin, beloved of the Lord? In the coming of Jesus——antitype of Joseph— Judah rejected, and the ten were scattered till the fulness of Gentile times. Now then, where was the tribe of Benjamin‘? Only Judah’s tribe rejected——from whom all Jews spring; and he is only one son of Jacob out of twelve. The ten were given up. So Benjamin accepted Jesus— recognized him like Benjamin who recognized Joseph; being his only brother. Therefore Benjamin is beloved of the Lord. Now who was the Lord?—Jesus, who became both Lord and Christ. And how could Benjamin become beloved of the Lord without accepting him? It is a proof that the tribe of Benjamin came in among the Gentiles by the gospel of Jesus Christ; and the ﬁgure was shown by John the beloved. He was to tarry till He came, and was to prophesy again, etc. Paul also said that he was of the seed of Abraham, and tribe of Benjamin—-markl—the seed of Abraham. But now the spirits of the just are the_c}zz'ldrerz and seed, to whom the promise was made. Gal. 3-19. I Will Ransom Them’ From the Power of the Grave; I Will Redeem Them From Death. Hosea 13-14. OHN was a ﬁgure of Benjamin; and in the sealed tribes Benjamin is last—but the ﬁrst shall be last and the last ﬁrst in this visitation. It proves the same in the parable of the laborers, by beginning with the last unto the ﬁrst. Therefore Benjamin—Son of man and Man-branch, the Lord’s younger brother——shall set up the gates and build the temple of the Lord. Solomon said, I considered all the living, which walk under the sun, we'll; the Second Child that shall stand up in his stead. Christ coming in another name (Shiloh) signiﬁes Christ and Jerusalem with them, and shall be in them. So it is written, To him that overcometh shall I grant to sit down with me in my throne, as I have overcome and am set down with my Father in his throne; (Rev. 3-21;) and I will give him a white stone—his body puriﬁed and made white—and in it a new name, that no one knoweth save he that recciveth it; (Rev. 2-17;) and his name is, The Word of God, made alive in him. Therefore in this visitation the VVord of life is not known by any, except by HIM that recciveth it; for it is sealed—and ever has been, and ever shall be, from all (both Jew and Gentile) who receive it not. Therefore this is the new name: His name is, The Word of God; (Rev. 19-13;) and no man knows it—nor can any know it save he to whom it is re- vealed; and he doeth nothing but he revealeth his secrets to his servants the prophets. And they being more than :1 prophet—~ye'.i, an interpreter—it is therefore written, If there be a messenger, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show to man his uprightness, then be gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down, into the pit (or grave), I have found a ransom; his ﬂesh‘ shall be fresher than that of a child’s, and he shall return to the days of his youth. For I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death. 0 grave, I will be thy plague; 0 death, I will be thy destruction. These shall sing the song of Moses and the Lamb; and no one could sing that song but the 144,000, redeemed from among men. Rev. 14-4. They, by overcoming the world, the ﬂesh and the devil, will sing that triumphant song, 0 death, where is thy sting‘?-——:1s it does not Sting them; for the sting of death is sin; and, O grave, where is thy victory? as die grave will not get them for a victim, as they are redeemed from among mu/z—beirig alive and remaining; (1 Thess. 4-15; Isa. 62-12;) for they shall be delivered from the bondage, of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For This Cause I Raised Pharaoh Up. That I Might Show My Power in the Earth. Rom. 9-17. YPT was ‘.1 figure of the world of diirkiie.-‘s: as it says, ' Darkness covers the earth, and gross darkiiess the hearts and minds of the people. The wilderness is the law of carnal commandments, consisting of types, foreshadowing better things. Therefore Moses gave you not that bread from l1e'.ive11—whicl1 is the bread of life. Babylon is a ﬁgure of great Christendom. Joseph was sold into Egypt, and good came out of it; and for this cause I raised Pharaoh up, that I might show my power in the earth. Rom. 9-17. Pharaoh was a name each king of Egypt bore; and for Joseph and Israel’s sake, Pharaoh and his people were blessed for a time and season. Afterwards, another Pharaoh rose up, that knew not Joseph nor Israel, and therefore enslaved them under hard bondage~—a ﬁgure of the devil, who holds them under the bondage of sin and corruption; and to whom- soever ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are. And as Pharaoh was raised up that the power of God might be manifest for Israel’s sake, so also Adam fell, and the world was plungedinto darkness, sin and death; there- fore God is able, and has promised (and is faithful con- cerning his promises) that he will bring good out of it by redeeming the world through his son. And as Pharaoh's heart was hardened, who tried to hold them in bondage, so also the Pharisees of the law of bondage hardened their hearts against Jesus, and tried to lead and deceive the people, and enrage them against _hiin. So they have the greater sin. But notwithstanding all these oppositions, it helped the work, and made manifest (by a necessity) the power of God to the greatest good. And while the people of the old world were, saved by his death, yet it did not justify the evil works of darkness, and such contradictions of sinners that he endured. And as to those who are saved by his death, it does not excuse them of his blood without judgment and punishment, as it is the love of God that saves them; for God so loved the world, he gave his son for the ransom and atoning sacrifice, to save those who are lost. And for this cause he came into the world, that he might testify unto the truth, and redeem the whole, in their order. Therefore in this the time of the end, Israel shall be gathered. from the world, and from Babylon. And the professors of Babylon will make war as did Pharaoh, and as the Pharisees in the days of Jesus; and the war will manifest the power of God, according to object lessons gone before. All Is Written for Us Upon Whom the End of the World Is Come. 1 Cor. 10-11. ENJAMIN, the beloved of the Lord, second son of Rachel, was typiﬁed by Joseph’s only brother by his mother. Therefore as Joseph was a ﬁgure of Jesus, it speaks of his younger brother, who shall set up the gates and build ' the temple; and as captain of the Lord’s host am I now come. Josh._ 5-14. This Child was typiﬁed by the child set in the midst; and Israel, who are considered with him, are the children in antitype, of whom he spoke when he said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not for of such is the kingdom of heaven——the children of Israel: and people of the saints of the Most High; the children and seed to whom the promise was made. So all is written for us upon whom the end has come. Entering into this visitation is the kingdom of heaven; and when this visit- ation of Shiloh is put in them, and the VVord made alive that is the kingdom of God. Mark: This is to be a kinvdoni within the body, which the angels do not have; nor arebthey sons, as we have before proven; neither male nor female, (Gal. ,_ _ 4.: 3. .3-28,) and ‘no marrying nor giv- ' “\§ ing in marriages, etc. " , LISTEN IT appears from some correspondence, information has been received that there have been some bogus workers pretending to be in connection with the House of David, duping whoiiisoever they can. ‘VVe have, however, been notified of some such cases, therefore wish to warn all of our readers and put them on their guard; and in the event of any becoming interested to the extent of turning into the commonwealth, they must be in correspondence with the House of David direct concerning the matter.

ROMANS .8-30 ISRAEUS faith takes in all scripture rightly divided, in which we span the dispensations of time and view all things through the Word; as it is written, We shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God, (Luke 4-4,) and, He that believeth in me, as the scripture hath said, (not as some theologian has said, but as the scripture hath said,) out of his belly shall ﬂow rivers of living water, and it shall be in him a well of water, springing up into everlasting life. Jesus said, If a man keep my sayings he shall never see death; (John 8-51;) for God made not death, but through enmity of the devil death came, and they who hold with it shall surely ﬁnd it. Wis. of So]. i (Apoc.) 2-24. But if they hold with life and immortality they surely will find it, by keeping the commands of Go and having the faith of Jesus Christ. ' Jesus Came To Abolish Death and To De- stroy Him Who Hath-Power of Death, Which Is the Devil. 2 Tim. 1-10; Heb. 2-14. ESUS said, The words I speak, they are spirit and they are life—not death; for God willeth not the death of any man. Therefore Jesus came to do and teach his l*‘athc'r's will. and came to abolish death and to destroy him who had power of death. which is the devil; and will do it in this his second coming, as it was not done in 1115 first, bccaiise they rejected and fought against it. So Jesus said, Ye will not come unto me that ye might have life, and have it more abundantly. John 1o-10. They therefore rejected life and immortality, and cried out, Away with him, and release unto us Bar;ihbasl—a thief and ll robber. which Si,‘Illlll(‘Ll the devil; the thief who cometh not but to kill and to destroy. _ \\'hcn Jo.-its sziid to the .lcw.<. “I am that brezul yvliich ,.,,,,.,.ti, from heaven. that a man may eat the-reot and FM, div hm H“, fur ,-\-cr_“ they said.

It was through the sin of one man thatgdeath came, and passed upon all because all have sinned—pr0ving it was and is sin that brings the death of the body. Sin is a transgression of the law, and the sting of death is sin. Therefore if sin destroys the temple, as we have proved, then we would ask, VVhat would right- eousness bring but the life of the body‘?-—which is the ‘ promise, viz., the redemption of our body. Rom. 8-23. By what law is this obtained‘? The law of the Spirit of life shall‘set us free from the law of sin and death—not after you are dead, but from death. Now, pertaining to the law, much can be said; but we ‘ brief, and would say, the law was added because of transgression. Now what law was transgressod? It was the law of life—the paradisical law and command given at first, by which they could have retained the life of their bodies. God said, If ye eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, ye shall die within one day. Therefore this was the sin of that one man, Adam; and within one day of a thou- sand years his body died and saw corruption—-returned to dust. But had he been obedient to God’s VVord, or law, would he have died anyway? No. And so death passed upon all because all have sinned; and so came short of the ‘ glory of God, because he cannot be gloriﬁed in a dead tem- ple, and is not the god of the dead but of the living. So there is no God in all the earth but in Israel. 2 Kings 5-15. Satan is god of this old world—the god of the dead, and livetli not. because there is no life in him, but death. And so in Adam all die (i. e., in the works of Adam); but in Christ all are made alive. Therefore there is no death in Christ. the latter Adam; he being a quickening spirit, who shall quicken our mortal bodies by his spirit that dwelleth in us: (Rom. 29-11:‘) as he said. I am the living bread. The Jeivs said. Our fatliers ate manna. Jesus said, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; and as they made such clziim on :\hrah:ini. Jesus said. I tell you the truth, which it nu, I11”.-c who sinned whose bodies fell in the \\’ild<*rm’>‘~"? Abr;ih;1m did not do.

He works in the creation—working all things after the counsel of his own will-—and said, Come, let us make man in our image and likeness; and in the image of God created he him (Jesus), male and female created he them. Gen. 1-27. Re- member, all is written for us upon whom the end has come, for. he declared the end from the beginning; and the thing which has been, shall be, and God requireth the thing which is past. Therefore I write unto you no new commandment, but an old one you had from the beginning—and yet a new commandment, that ye love one another as I (Jesus) have loved you. In this we would know we had passed from death unto life, because Jesus only, as yet, had fulﬁlled that; , and it remains for the elect to do the works that he did; and greater works than these shall they do, and will be mm him, (Phil. 3-21;)——having their vile bodies changed and fashioned like unto his glorious body of ﬂesh and bone, which saw not corruption. The patriarchs died in the faith, not having received the promise, and they therefore saw corrup- tion; but this man Jesus saw not corruption, having no evil to corrupt. Jesus said, Feel, and see, that a spirit hath not flesh and bone as ye see me have. Jesus Said, When tlie Son of Man Shall Come, Before Him Shall All Nations Be Gathered. Matt. 25-32.

" There shall be a total and full redemption through Christ. . _ ’ . 2. This/is a hidden mystery, not to be understood without the revelation of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is at hand to reveal the same PAGE 2 T7 ,.-to all holyseekers and lovi_ng iriquirei-s, _4. The completion of such, redemption is withheld and (obstructed by the apocalyptic seals (7). _ 5‘. Wherefore as the Spirit of God shall open seal after seal, so shall theredemption come to be revealed both particularly and universally. _ In this gradual opening of the mystery of redemp- tion in Christ, doth consist the unsearchable wisdom of God, which may continually reveal new and fresh things to worthy seekers. 7. In order to which, the ark (of God’s) testimony in heaven shall be opened. Before the end of the world (age) and the living (144,000) testimony which is herein con- tained be unsealed. 8. The presence of the divine ark will constitute the Iife of the Philadelphia church, and wherever that is, there must of necessity be the ark. The unveiling of the living testimony within the art of the Lord must begin the promulgation of the ever- lasting gospel of the kingdom. 10. The proclamation of this testimony of the king- dom will be as by the sound of a trumpet to alarm all nations of the earth, especially all professors‘ of christianity, be- cause attended with the power of working all wonders. 11. There shall be an authoritative decision given forth immediately from Christ to put an end to all con- troversies concerning the true church. 9 12. This decision will be. the actual sealing of the members of this church with the name of God,’ giving them a commission to act by virtue of the same. This new name will distinguish them from the 7,000 names of Babylon. 13. The election and preparation of this church is after a secret and hidden manner, as David in his minority was elected and anointed by the prophet of God, yet was ?,not admitted to the outward -possession of the kingdom I fora considerable time afterward. . 14. Of the stem of Jesse, a virgin church, which hath known nothing ofman or of human constitution, is yet to be born. 1 5. And, if it be yet to be born, it will require some considerable time before it gets out and arrives at the full and mature age. ‘ "‘ 16. ,The birth of this virgin church was visionally typiﬁed to John the revelator by the great wonder in heav- en, bringing forth her firstborn that was caught up to the throne of God. 17; For as a virgin mother brought forth Jesus, the Christ, after the ﬂesh, so likewise a virgin woman is ‘de- signed by God to bring forth the firstborn after the spirit, who shall be filled with the Holy Ghost and with power. 18. The virgin that is here designated must be as a pure spirit, so also of a clariﬁed body, and all over impreg- nated with the Holy Ghost. 19. This church so brought and signed with the mark of the Divine name shall be adorned with miraculous gifts and powers beyond what has been. 2 . A new and glorious church, in whom there shall be no fault found: 28. Then shall the glory of God and the Lamb so rest upon it, as the cloud upon the typical tabernacle, that it shall be called the tabernacle of wisdom. 29. Though this Philadelphia church is not known in the migmnléfotwithstanding it will be brought forth into vis- ibility out of the wilderness in a short time 1, Then it will go on to multiply and propagate universally, not only as to the number of the.ﬁrst- bom (144,ooo), but also to the remnant of the seed (aliens), and strangers, against whom the dragon shall make war. 2 Therefore the spirit of David shall most eminent- y in this church, and more especially in some or other silzggd member of it, as the blossoming root is to precede the day of Solomon in the millennium. These will have might given thern to overcome the dragon and his angel-‘N CV5" 35 itself S pmd overcame Goliath and the Philistines.

For which there must be raised up certain head powers to bear the first oflices, who are to be persons of great eminence and favor with the trinity, whose dread and fear shall fall upon all nations, visible and invisible, because of the mighty acting power of the Holy Ghost which shall rest upon them. 36. For Christ before his own distinct and personal appearance, will first appear and represent himself in some chosen vessels, anointed to be leaders unto the rest, and to bring into the promised land the new creation state. 37. Thus Moses, Joshua and Aaron may be considered as types of some upon whom the same spirit may come, yet to rest in greater proportions, whereby they shall make a way for the ransomed of the Lord to return to Mt. Zion. 38. But none shall stand in any considerable office under God, but they who are tried stones, after the pattern of the chief corner stone, Christ J csus. 39. This will be a thorny trial which very few (144, 000) will be able to pass, or bear up in, wherefore the waiters for the visible breaking out of this church, are strictly charged to hold fast that which they hav _ and wait together in unity of pure love, praying in the spirit according to the apostolicupattem, that they may be sent forth to multiply uiiiversa y. 40. This trial must be of absolute necessity to every one in particular and to all in general for the constituting and cementing of the church of Philadelphia together, by the clearing away of all the remaining inﬁrmities of nature, and burning up all the hay, stubble and dross which may have been added ,to the Word,of the Lord. , ‘ 41. For nothing must remain in this church but what can remain in the ﬁre, Holy Ghost. For as a reﬁner will the Lord purify the sons and daughters of the living God, and purge them unto perfect righteousness. 42. Through the operation of the spirit in these waiters, they may for a long time contend with many inﬁrrnities and evils, yet if it be kept continually warm and watched It can- not at last but work out a perfect cure and bring a full and total redemption from the earth. 4’ . This priestly, anointed body will render them‘ im- pregnable, and qualify them for that high degree of spiritual, government to which they are called. . 5 45. Wherefore it requires on our part to suffer the spirit of burning to do upon us the reﬁning work, faiining us ' with his ﬁery breath, searching every part within us until all be pure and clean, and we thereby arrive to hisﬁxed body from which wonders are to ﬂow out. ' ‘ 46. This body will be the sealing character of the Philadelphia church. ‘ V 47. Upon this body will be the ﬁxation of the Urim and Thummim, that are to be appropriated to_the Melchise- decean order, whose descent is not to be counted in the genealogy of that creation (under the fall), but_is anogher genealogy which is from the restoration. I 48. Hence these priests will have a deep inward search, and a divine insight into the secret things of the Deity, and will be able to prophesy, on ‘clear ground, not darkly and enigmatical, for they will know what is couched in the ﬁrst originality of all being and the eternal arch type of nature, and will be capacitated to bring them~.forth accord- ing to the divine council and ordination. 49. The Lord, whose hand is lifted up, swéiireth in truth and righteousness that from Abraham’s loins, accord- ing to the spirit, there shall arise a holy priesthood. 50. Abraham and Sarah were a type of that which should be produced and manifested in the last age of the world. 52. These are such characteristics, or marks, whereby the pure virgin church, so founded, shall be certainly known and distinguished from all others, and whereby the action and true sound of the Holy Ghost shall be discerned from that which is false, base, counterfeit. There must be a manifestation of the spirit where- by to edify and raise up this church suitable to the ascension of Jesus Christ. 54. This manifestation must be the absoluteness of power and in the beauty of holiness, so bringing down heaven upon ‘earth and representing here the new Jerusalem state. 55. In order to which, spirits that are thus purely be- rvisibility, yet it may bt bid at 31¢ PT°5°“t in the Womb °f 3 gotten, conceived and born of God, can ascend to Jerusalem above where their head in great majesty doth -reign, and there ieceive such a mission whereby they shall be empowered to bring down to this world its transcendant glory. 56. None but those arisen in Christ in the regeneration (reformation) can thus ascend and receive of his glory; can descend again to communicate the same, being thereby his representatives upon the new earth and subordinate priests under him, the Lord of lords, and King of kings. Now he that ascended and gloriﬁed has made him- self our debtor, consequently he will not _be wanting in qualifying and furnishing certain highprincipal instruments who shall be most humble, and of as little regard as Daniel was whom he will dignify with great knowledge and priest- 1 sovereignty for the drawing ‘together in one‘, the. scat. tercd little ﬂock into one fold coming out of all nations. - Published at , Benton Harbor, Michigan, lJ.8.A. 58. Therefore there should be a holy emulation and ambition stirred up among all true lovers of Jesus so that they may be the first fruits unto him that is risen from the dead, and so be nizide principal agciits for him and with him that they may be, if possible, members of the firstborn of Jerusalem above, our Mother. 59. All lovers of Jesus and true waiters for his king- dom (in spirit) under whatsoever professions or forms that are dispersed, ought to be members among the Philadelphian spirit to whom this message pertains. 60. The society is not the church of Philadelphia, but consists of those who are associated, to wait and hope in the unity of the spirits for its appearance and manifestation, wherefore there is such a strict charge given them throughout this message to be watchful and quicken up their pace. THE above prophecy, called the Sixty Propositions, re- printed, has’ been published in the former house, under Jezreel, the sixth messenger of the seven of this visitation; and of this prophecy, but little was fulﬁlled. The greater and almost all, pointed down to this Seventh church, or House of David, now having its accomplishment. The Philadelphian church spoken of, and so often spoken of in the writings of the sixth messenger is shown in Rev- elation to be the Sixth church. And the remnant of the Sixth came into. the Seventh: and not only so, but the rem- nant of the Fifth as well. And therefore the prophecy of the ﬁfth messenger shows the seed of both, and of the former visitation, shall flow into the Seventh—the church of the Lamb of God; and that the six churches shall tremble before the Seventh. And while it is said of the Sixth, “There stands an open door,” it does not say whether the heavenly door, or simply an open door inviting, and a door of preparation, preparatory for the Scvmf/2, of which it says, A door is opened in /zeaverz itself; which heavenly city, or Jerusalem, has come down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband—which is Christ. James, or.Jezreel (the sixth angel messenger of the Sixth church, in which there stood an open door, at, or about the time of its duration, when that door would be closed) said, and which stands on record to this day, “ The door is closed, and shall not be opened any more”—which signiﬁed, ‘shall not be opened anyniore in the Sixth, but opened in the heaven of the Se"vent]l";V ,1 This Philadelphlian-church is spoken of as ilioming out of the wilderness; which wilderness was the Sixth and Fifth under the law of dead works——which law is the wilderness. f‘Therefore James said, Now we have reached the first junction of our road in the wildemess—showing they were in the -wilderness, and not in, the paradisical law of the land of promise; and only crossed Jordan as in vision, (or as by dream,) while sleeping under the law. And furthermore, John, the fifth angel messenger, said the next to follow him and sound in order was to be a: .Joshua—-not Joshua, but ill’ Joshua, 21 5/zazlow of the Branch; not the Branch, but a shadow going before; and as Elias turning the hearts of the children to the faith once delivered to the fathers, etc.; like John who was to come in the .rpz'rz't and power of Elias——not Elias. And so John denied, andisaid, “I am not Elias, nor that prophet. I am not the Messiah; but the voice of one crying in the wil- derness.” Therefore James said, Now we have reached the ﬁrst junction of our road in the w_ilderness—a voice still crying in the wilderness and a junction leading from the Old House road in the wilderness to the New—yet both‘ being in the wilderness. And so as Elias taught the life of the body, so by that mantle which he threw back, so also they taught the same—p0inting down the line to the Seventh Angel l\'Ies- senger and Interpreter, as was signiﬁed by the man standing over against Jericho with a drawn sword. Joshua 5-13. And therefore it is written,.Cursed be the man who rebuilds Jericho; for the foundationis laid by his firstborn (Jesus) and the gates shall be set up by his younger brother——the Second Child who standeth up in his stead. Eccl. 4-15. So James said, concerning the further message and words of the Little Book, They have not yet been written, not will they be written till the Seventh Angel doth sound; and said, It is but a short time till the Second Child shall stand up; but said, Will he stand up in Jew or Gentile? No, but in the Israel of God. Now as neither Jew ‘nor Gentile could represent the faith, it was shown and represented by both the Old and’ Latter House standing as Jew and Gentile, the one with the law, and the other the g0spcl——i. e., the dead works of it. And therefore the third had to be brought forth from be-_ tween the two mountains—the true chariot of Israel. And they held the sceptre, and which should not depart’ from between his feet, till Shiloh comes, and unto Shiloh shall the gathering of the people be (Gen. 49-io)—-the two Houses representing his feet while walking in the wilderness; for Christ was with the church in the wilderness, as of old. And James said, as to who Shiloh is, “This will be shown in a future discourse ;” as the question was raised in those days, Who is Shiloh?——and it could not be answered till the sceptre departed from Judah (Old House as Jew under law), nor the lawgiver from between his feet (the two), till Shiloh comes; then the future discourse, or Shiloh’s mes- sage of life, and Israel gathered unto the Son of man, and the seed delivered from the wilderness as new born babes, becoming as little children unto him. Therefore forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven. And they pass through thisppen door by the open book now open in his hand, unsealed, and the mystery made known; for in 1».

PAGE 3 ‘1 the beginning was the ‘Nord of life, and the thing which was first shall be last. Therefore no new commandment, but one from the beginning, for he declared the end ‘from the be- ginning——-he being first and last. And the Word took ﬂesh, and must be made alive in those who eat his ﬂesh. There- fore, Eat the words of the Little Book! And the Word was with God, and which was God; and the words I speak, they are spirit and they are life, Pertaining to the former messengers shown above, and the many things which we write concerning it, and this present work of ingathcriiig, it is true many of our sub- scribers will not fully understand. But what if they can’t at present‘? VVho is it that understands the scripture?— it having been scaled, and could not be understood till this visitation came forth. Now it may be questioned, By what authority do we write and set forth these claims? VVe answer", By the Spirit of truth, according to the scriptures. Does the scriptures say it could not be understood? Yes, in this: It says, It is sealed and closed up till the time of the end—like a closed book; and sealed, not to be opened; for to those who read it and understand not, it is closed and sealed from them. And therefore, it having been scaled, Jesus spake in proverbs and parables, and without a parable spake he not anything. And by this visitation we know what the mysteries are. And Paul said, We see in part, etc. Re- member they had to have a visitation of that spirit given at Pentecost, before they could even see in part, and prophesy in part’; and spoke of the perfect thing and the mysteries to be revealed in this the time of the end and day of vis- itation; when the Spirit of truth, that other Comforter should come, which the world could not receive. The apostles spoke expressly of this visitation, yet to come; and therefore as John was to prophesy again, it was to be in this visitation, and the seven thunders which uttered their voices. And he was about to write, and it was said, Seal up the things the seven thunders uttered. Therefore these seven angels spoken of in the Revelation of John, were angel messengers, or chosen men as instruments. And these are the light of the seven churches of which we speak. _ So it is written, according to what we have hitherto set forth, When the Seventh Angel begins to sound, the mystery shall be ﬁnished, as declared by his servants, the prophets; showing what the prophets said stood chieﬂy for this \the time of the end and day of visitation. And this Seventh is the same visitation received by Jesus, the first- born, and now by the Second Child, Man-Branch; he being the Root, and this, the Branch from that Root and offspring of David, the bright and morning star. And this is the second star—the Day-star which was to arise in our hearts; (2 Pet. 1-19;) and the vqicc J 3 /é from the cloud, saying, This is my son, hear ye Him ! l\Tark 9-7. ~ LABOR T0 l3NTEIl INTO THAT{R§ST THERE REMAINETH SABBATH OF REST FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD. Hebrews, 4-9. OD declared the end from the beginning and is in the creation working all things after the counsel of his own will, calling those things that be not as though they were. Rom. 4-17. The first key is the spirit of anointing to see the life of the body, soul and spirit, by the law of the spirit 'of life, to set us free from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. Rom. 8-23. Another key shows the thing that has been is the thing that shall be, and God requireth the thing that is past. Eccl. 3-15. There- fore, as the VVord of life was made ﬂesh in the firstborn so also our vile bodies shall be changed and fashioned like unto his glorious body, (Phil. 3-21,) which shall be accomplished ‘ in this the sixth day, one day being with the Lord as a thou- sand years and a thousand years as one day. 2 Pet. 3-8. Therefore in this we find another key to open the times and seasons that the Lord hath put in his own power, (Acts 1-7,) and he doeth nothing but he rcvealeth his secrets to his servants the prophets, (Amos 3-7,) and they who keep the commandments shall know of the doctrine. John 7-17.’ Therefore ye brethren are not in darkness that that day shall overtake you as a thief in the night, because of that Spirit of truth which comes to lead and guide you in the way of all truth, and show you things to come; (John 16-13;) which is the spirit of prophecy, the testimony of Jesus Christ, (Rev. 19-10,) which shows forth the ‘redemption of our body. Rom. 8-23. No prophecy of the scripture is of any private inter- pretation, (2 Pet. 1-20,) the scriptures having more than one meaning and must be rightly divided: as we are commanded to study to show ourselves approved unto God. a worknian that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth; (2 Tim. 2-1 §:) which must he rightly divided between the common salvation of the soul. a free gift to both Jew and Gentile, through and by faith in Christ Jesus. and the great salvation, a full and complete redemption of body, soul and spirit, by working out this great salvation with fear and trembling, which is the promise made to the elect people of the saints of the Most High God, the church of the firstborn, (Heb. 12-23,) the sons of God, to be manifested in these the days of Daniel or time of the end. Dan. 12-12. The six days spoken of at ﬁrst were a ﬁgure of the six thousand years; and therefore Adam was also a ﬁgure, as Paul says, the first man Adam was a ﬁgure of him who was to come. Rom. 5-14. Therefore Jesus was the firstborn son of Goal among many brethren. Rom. 8-29. Adam fell by trans- gression and therefore lost the sonship, and therefore the Adamic race are not in the image of God. Therefore Jesus had to come forth the firstborn son in the image of God, and in this the closing of the sixth day comes forth the sons of God, having their vile bodies changed and fashioned like unto his glorious body, when mortal puts on immortality. 1 Cor. 15-53. The time being shortened for the sake of the elect, their ﬂesh shall be saved; the creature itself shall also be de- livered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. And if we are to be made in his image and likeness, who made us; then will he not neces- sarily come before we are made, and in the making change our vile bodies and fashion them like unto his glorious body? ' Jesus was made under the law of righteousness, and if we are made like him, it must be by the same law in man- hood. As we at first are born in sin and shapen in iniquity, contrary to the law of Christ, we must have our blood cleansed from that sin and iniquity, and our vile bodies con- formed to the image of the firstborn son, and this work must be done by him who must come; therefore it is written, My rewarcl’is with me and my work is before me, to give every man according as his work shall be. Rev. 22-12. Therefore we have a work to do also in this plan of redemption. I work and my Father works hitherto, and the work that I do shall ye do also, because I go unto my Father ;(John 14-12;) and if I go I will come again to receive you unto myself, that where I am ye may be also. John 14-3. And if I come in the second watch, or in the third watch, blessed are those servants that are so found doing, (Luke 12-38,) i. e., co-workers with him for the establishmentof his kingdom on earth, that he might reign with them a thousand years upon the earth, (Rev. 20-6,) the day of rest which remaineth for the people of God. .—Heb. 4-9. Therefore labor to enter into that sabbath of rest. He that scattered Israel will gather him. Jer. 31-10. I will gather them from whithersoever they have been scat- tered. Jer. 29-14. When will they be gathered? They were scattered and given up till the time of the end, as it is written,‘ Blindness in part happened Israel till the fulness of the Gentiles be come in, (Rom. 11-25,) then the visitation would be given, which was to come, and at the end it should speak and not lie. I-Iab. 2-3. And by the visitation of this Spirit of truth, they would be led in the way of all truth and shown things to come. John‘16-13. And by this Spirit of truth they receive the second anointing and see no more in part, as through a glass darkly, (1. Cor. 13-12,) for \vhen the thing which is perfect is come, the thing which is in part shall be done away. 1 Cor. 13-10. - The Jews were cut off from the life of the body be- cause they rejected it, and the Gentiles grafted in till their fulness. Rom. 11-25. And at the fulness of the Gentiles the visitation of the‘Spirlt of truth was given for the in- gathering and restoration of the lost tribés of Israel, the seed which was to come, to whom the promise was made. Gal. 3-19. Therefore by this visitation of the Spirit of truth the Lord sets his hand the second time to recover the remnant of ‘ his people Israel. Isa. 11-11. Now the question is, When will he gather Israel‘? and as we have brieﬂy shown that this gathering will take place after the fulness of the Gentiles be come in, the question would arise, When was their fulness? To enter into details would require much space and time, wherein we must of as Fr I necessity brief and cut it short in righteousness. Romans 9-28. CONCERNING THE GREAT WORK or THE EATIIERING. E wish to make it known to all, that in all of our publications we simply set forth the plain scriptures showing forth life eternal, and ingatherlng and restoration of the elect seed of Israel, and spirits of the just. Israel‘s literature and preaching is given out to the public in general; and asteachlng and preaching without "persuasion in any way, that all and each and every individual might consider it according to their own will and according to their own mind, accordingto the constitution of America, that each and every person may worship according to the dictates of their own conscience; and that according to our faith, our preaching and teaching must be supported by the scriptures. And with it our entreaties are to the sound mind, and do not attempt therefore to excite or work on feelings, but by faith according to knowledge; for without faith, it is impossible to please God; and that which is not of faith is sin. Romans 14-23. We believe in all being fully persuaded in their own mind, and prove all things—whlch feelings, excitement or persuasion cannot do. And we furthermore know, those who are nol. thoroughly established by faith according to knowledge cannot stand. Therefore we discourage ratlicr than encourage, )')€l"i.?\ll'IlIlg,'/l.0 their coming into the ingathcr1'ng— like _El11ali, who tried to keep them back; and like Jesus with the persistent woman, tried to keep her back from following; and with the man who wanted to follow, to whom he said, The foxes have holes and the birds have nests, hui. the Son of man has no place to lay his head l— which was the condition of this Messenger, the Truo Stranger, for many years before the ingatherlng began. Yet no scripture is of a private interpretation. He having no place lo lay his head, signlfles, he nor his teaching was received by the natural world, as man by nature cannot find out the things of God; and the world loves its own.

And Jesus said, Come and sec!—~sl1o\ving he had a place. John I-39. But when he travelled, and like Israelite preachers today who follow him and preach his gospel of grace and truth, are not received in a general way. llowever, let us get back to the main issue of what we wish to convey, which is: This gospel of the kingdom must. be preached, which is to he put within man, rendering him immortal; as this mortal must put on imiuorlalily at the sound of this seventh and last trump‘ for when he begins to sound, the mystery shall be finished. Rev. I0-7' And my sheep know my voice, and a stranger they will not follow—th1§ being the volce of the True Stranger. Jesus the True Shepherd said The words I speak, they are spirit and they are life. Therefore we under-‘stand persuasion, for it is written, 1 will have a willing people in the day of , understand its purposes according to the scriptures, and that all ‘I personal claim regarding it." ‘ to come home, as there must be order in the Lord’s house that the true sheep of the house of Israel know the voice. and need no ' g,y“p0we,;l_ psar: M0213, plop hI()vvJgii1]f‘]1&6fl'i|gn come unto me except lilo a ler w o sen me raw uni‘. - « Knowing this rule of faith, why wotirllld We U:g:lYn0P°':';’:;i‘9a'!

WW0“ I‘ given out publicly, as it says, cast my bread upon the waters, and after many days It shall return. I write and publish this because sometimes ii. is claimed that we persuade them in by making promises. Nol We have often turned. down money, and received them not, seeing they were not established in. the faith. On the other hand, such as are established, and come, they simply come into the commonwealth of Israel, freely and wholly of their own tree will, according to the apostolic plan, as given In Acts 2-44. and according to the one family of God. And we do not reckon such as a sacrifice, because they come in as a member. And why is it not reasonable to bring their means with them‘! Paul says, Present your bodies a living sacrillce, holy and acceptable with God, which is your reasonable service. And Israel shall see eye to eye when the Lord » brings again Zion.’ Isa. 52-b’. We understand the promises field out In scripture, and we do not add to nor take from the things written therein. Therefore we do not make a personal promise, nor unduly persuade, knowing the scriptures teach and set forth conditions in which all work out their salvation, and must come up to the conditions required of God. Therefore the promises are to the overcomer, as faith without works is dead. Therefore we hold out no natural inducements or material blessings, or choice places or front seats,‘ knowing what Jesus genial" concerning back seats, and coming to the front according to merit-— faith and works and the bidding of 'God, as Jesus took the form _of a servant, and learned obedience by the things he suffered; being ' subject to the laws and powers that be, for it says they are ordained of God—and law abiding according to the gospel rule, and the common—. _ wealth fund, received by those who enter into it by faith, established upon the scriptures, and of their own free will, having been fully persuaded in their own mind, and thaf ofthemselves, and which they ‘ hereby acknowledge that they understanw‘ It, after having carefully studied this great spiritual visitation with the scriptures, and are now acting by faith to be proven by works, as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead—-—knowlng the soul salvation is a free gift of grace, and the life of the body by faith and works, as Jesus said, The works I do shall ye do, John 14-12. And that “I understand the work to be a self-sacriﬁcing work——giving up all for the kingdom‘: sake, andlherefore bringing ‘myself and my all into the commonwealth of the house of Israel, and to abide by the rules and regulations of the House of David’; knowing the scriptures say, There shall be a cleansing ‘ fountain open in the House of David, and as Jesus clearly showed an ingathering and restoration of-Israel; having read the literature published . by the House of David, which leaves ii.’ up to me without offering any further inducements or persuasi0n,~ and-without. personal promises of any description; and that I understand ‘the,-park, which is advertised by the House of David to be for the general.’1)!1’xlfllZ~.,' and not private beneﬁts or , pleasures of the House of David or an ‘ts members In any particular."

They are instructed to simply preach the word of’ God rightly divided, and leave it with them. This work of ingathering is preparatory to the establishment of the kingdom of God on earth In peace and in righteousness; and “before coming to the ingaithering I ‘Ii"r*i'et:i9r.r:x3?nIc~*«.§3tosvzvg:»nsiw=:-rwansci “- possess is to be turned into the commonwealth for the work. and to" be used for the W01‘l('0f ingatliering, nor to ever hereafter set up any In this visitation, during the time of the sounding seven angel messengers, It has ever been understood that there was to be ‘no persuasion whatever; but under the foregoing messengers rathe discourage, chieﬂy because it was not the time for ingathering undo their ministry, as their-publications show clear and plain that,» gathering was not to take place until the Seventh Angel Messenge began to sound. Notwithstanding even now, under this rnessngj it is strictly against our faith“ and gospel rule to use any persuanion in any manner whatsoever, or hold out inducements unduly, outside of scripture teaching, for many reasons, knowing this ingathering is for preparation by this visitation, and the cleansing fountain; as all are born in sin by nature, and therefore nothing can remain except by faith proven by works, as gold is tried In the Ilre, and reﬁned as silver. Zech , 13-9. And as he is spoken of as a great Shepherd, separating the sheep from the goats, therefore. this instrument! or article will begin its work informing each and every one that this step for entering this ingathering must be by faith, separately and individually, wholly by understanding‘ and that of themselves, and not by another encouraging or discouraging. These seeing this great faith through the Word need no encouraging or dlscouraging. \Vhy would we take pleasure.in unbelief, comm and. going, making trouble unnecessarily, both for themselves and oi‘. erst Therefore we give no place for unbeliet‘, for without faith it is impossible to please God. As ensamples, referring to the past, when Mary and Benjamin went to Australia, to the members under one of the former messengers. ' they brought eighty-tlve people with them; and not one of them hadbeen informed by Mary and Benjamin concerning how we were fixed in the way of providing for them.’ And they were surprised upon their arrival ‘at the House of David; and many of them said they expected a.ccommoda- ' , tions to be poor, and expected to sleep on a board or something similar. This is to show our methods have been, and still are, purely from the scripture standpoint; andthis is taught pure and in all simplicity, for the. kingdom's sake. Jesus said, Seek not for the bread that perisheth but for the bread which the Son of man shall give; and by this bread which is In Jesus Christ, we may eat. thereof and live for ever. J’ohni6—51 And furthermore he said, He knoweth what you stand in need of.

Now how can this change take place‘? Not without I ‘cruciﬁxion, as it says, Crucify the old man with its affections and lust, and go with him (the Son of man) through the ‘ regeneration, and be born again-,—not of blood, nor of the , will of the ﬂesh, nor of man, but of God. John i-13. , The first requirements must be complied with before the deeper things pertaining to the works that Jesus did. He said, If you love me, you will keep my command- ments; and these are the laws of life. He said, The Son of man shall come, and before him all nations shall be gathered. And why? That he, by this great visitation, can lead them unto living fountains of water, which is the refreshing show- ers and latter rain, and the cleansing fountain open in the House of David. It says, The Lord shall set his hand the second time to recover the remnant of his people, Israel; (Isa. 11-11;) and he will separate the sheep from the goats. Christ Is Head of the Church and Saviour of the Body. Eph. 5-23. 4 V IN‘ the face of the scriptures setting forth the great ingather- ing for preparation, we would ask, How could any hope for the promise of the life of the body without making this first step-—viz., to come out from the world and from great Babylon, and be separate?-——coming unto him for life, so that it could not be said now to you, as it was said before, 0, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish! I‘ work a work in your day that ye will not believe, though a man declare it unto you.~ Therefore this great truth is now being unsealed and sounded forth——the Trump of God; the seventh and last trumpet: And so it says, When the Seventh Angel shall Ibegin to sound, the mystery shall be ﬁnished, etc, Rev. lo-7. Nowithe mystery is that law of Christ, which is now unsealed—revealing the mystery of godliness, God manifest in the*ffesh. ‘ But how could God be manifest in the ﬂesh of Israelliblefore or without the angel messenger first blowing S. the trumpet, and sounding an alarm in my holy mountain, saith the Lord? And what does it sound for? To call the sheep, And those whom he foreknew he calls, and those ‘ whom he calls he justiﬁes, and those whom he justifies he also gloriﬁes; as was said to Jesus, I have both gloriﬁed thee, and will glorify thee again !—as he was ﬁrstborn of many brethren. As Christ is head of the church and saviour of the body, they therefore must of a necessity be gathered ‘O’ gether—the general assembly and church of the ﬁrstborn— before ‘he could do the work for them. Therefore they shall come up out of the land and appoint to themselves, by choice, one head; and by the faith see eye to eye. Isa. 52-8. , M sheep know my voice, and a stranger th_ey_will not follow. This therefore is the time and (I21:y.Ol'_V’1Slt1l- tion spoken of since the world began; and a visitation by which they who have it will not perish. Jesus said, I have other sheep not of this fold, (i. e., at that time,) and I give unto them eternal life, and 3153’ Shall “CV” PC1'i5h3 “either shall any man pluck them out of my hand. John 10-16, 28. This is the Messenger of the Covenant. And he said, I will make a new covenant with them after those days. (i. 8.. Hftﬁf we fulness of the Gentiles be come in,) when I shall take away their sins. It says, Your covenant with death shall be SHILOH’S MESSENGER OF WISDOM disannulled and your agreement with hell shall not stand. Isa. 28-18. For the grave cannot praise thee, death cannot celebrate thee, and they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth; (Isa. 38-18;)—showing there is a truth that cannot be hoped for by going to the grave. So what would it proﬁt a man to gain the whole world and lose himself‘? Luke 9-25. The Land Was Promised To Israel; and God Is Faithful Concerning His Promise. I Hebrews 10-23. THE land was promised to Israel; and God is faithful concerning his promise. The promised land is shown to be the land that shall rejoice, and the earth that heareth the words of the Lord; and the promise is the redemption of our body. Now, the land of Canaan was inhabited ﬁrst by the Canaanites—the descendants of Canaan, the son of crime. After the ﬂood, Ham committed a crime, and Canaan was born, and “A servant of servants shall he be ;” and in process of time the many Ites possessed the land. Notwithstanding all this, God gave the land to Abraham by promise; after which, Joseph was sold into Egypt. By reason of famine in the land, the whole family of Jacob was taken to Egypt. In process of time they became enslaved——i. e., their off- spring, who multiplied greatly in the land; and within about four hundred years (more or less) God set his hand by Moses to deliver the children of Israel and take them back to the promised land, and give his promises, on conditions, to their seed; while the older ones, who came out of Egypt, fell in the wilderness because of sin. So it says, If they had been mindful of that country from whence they came, they might have returned. Heb. 11-15. Now this statement carries with it a two-fold meaning, for that land in refer- ence, from whence they came, was not Egypt. Paul said they did return back into Egypt. The land spoken of-to which, had they been mindful of it, they might have re- tumed—in its first meaning was Eden of Paradise, from whence they fell; and secondly, the land of Canaan, given by promise to Abraham and his seed, where he dwelt before going down into Egypt.’ The Promise Was Far-reaching In Its'Mean- ing, and Signiﬁed the Life of Body, Soul and Spirit. 1 Thess. 5-23. _ THEREFORE, had they been mindful of that promise, and had they fulﬁlled the requirements, they might have returned. But the promise was far-reaching in its meaning, and signiﬁes the life of body, soul and spirit—the promised land of God, of which the land of Canaan was but a ﬁgure. Yet l\/Ioses did not enter and receive the promise. And why? It is said, and sonvritten, was because he became exalted, and smote the rock in his own name, and called Israel rebels, etc. But, hlowever, there was something back of all this, and which is now clearly shown, viz., that the law of l\Ioses could not make a man perfect; and is called the curse of the law, under which men were still held in bondage under sin— being contrary to the law of Christ. Joshua crossed Jordan, and fought still as a minister of l\Ioses-—under the same law, as the scriptures clearly show; and they still held that law till Jesus came to abolish it, and bring to light a better law, as I will soon show. But first I wish to say, the Spiritual man was seen by Joshua with a drawn sword; and Joshua said, Have you come to ﬁght for us or our adversary? Note the answer: Nay, but as Captain of the Lord’s host am I now come! (Josh. 5-14)—which stands for this the time of the end. Why did this Spiritual man say, Nay‘?——as much as to say, I came not to ﬁght for Joshua nor his enemies. And why‘? Because Joshua was a minister of Moses; and this Spiritual man was a minister of Christ, and could not ﬁght for Joshua under the curse of the law; nor could he ﬁght for the enemies. This was clearly shown in Jesus, the Standard of God, who came not only to abolish the curse of the law, but also to abolish death, and to destroy him who had power of death, which is the devil; and to bring life and immortality to light through the gospel——-which Joshua with the law of Moses could not do. Those of the law are the very ones who fought against Jesus; and how could the Spiritual man ﬁght for Joshua under such conditions? He said. As Captain of the host of the Lord am I now comel—to ﬁght under the banner of Jesus Christ, and by the law of Christ, unto per- fection. By this law of Christ the mystery shall be ﬁnished, and man made perfect—which could not be under the law of dead works; and by this law of the Spirit of life they shall be set free from the law of sin and death. Rom. 8-2. There- fore this Spiritual man’s sword is drawn—the sword of the Spirit, which is sharper than any two-edged sword; being the \Vord of God, which is sharper than the dead letter of the two swords. law and gospel. The Spirits of the Just Will Be Mindful of That Country—the Eden of Paradise —-From Whence They Came. Hebrews 11-15. OVV, in the land of Canaan there was warring to slay the seven nations of Ites of the land; a ﬁgure of the bodies of men, in which we ﬁnd the seven evils to be slain; to prepare the bodies of men and women to enter into the purchased possession of their inheritance; (Eph. 1-14;)—even as Jesus, who by inheritance obtained a much more excellent name than the angels. Therefore all who die fall short of the promise of the life of the body. Even they who have died, or yet die in the faith, receive not the promise. Heb. 11-39. Therefore they come short of the glory of God, for God cannot be gloriﬁed in a dead temple; and therefore they cannot inherit the promised land. Notwithstanding, Jesus said, The meek _ . _ «,___,,,...¢~.- we-uw .4-uquaotu-.4!’ ‘ Publlohed at Benton Harbor, Michigan, U.s.A. J shall inherit the earth. It says of them going before, They entered not in because of uiibelief-——after all the old travels through the wilderness from Egypt, with the laws of carnal things to come. Therefore there was a change of priesthood, and of a necessity a change of the law—changed back from the added law to the original pamdisiczil lJ\_V, which could , give life, and make perfect men in his own image and after his likeness. Therefore, by this law, the spirits of the just. or seed to whom the promise was made, will be iiiiiidtiil of that country——the Eden of Paradise—from whence they came, That seed has been handed down for this the time of the end, and for whom these scriptures, or laws of life, are written, and have been sealed till this the time of the end; when they will have their fulﬁllment, and the kingdom given to the people of the saints of the Most High. Dan. 7-27. The saints died in the faith, seeing it afar off—-not for themselves, but for this seed and spirits of the just in this the day of visitation. Therefore Jesus said, Come take my yoke, and I will give you rest; and that his yoke is easy and his burden light. But they refused. Within the Clouds Which Bring the Storm, the Spirits of the Just Will See the Bow In the Cloud, a Token of the Covenant. Gen. 9-13. SO Paul said, If Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterwards have spoken of another day; but seeing they did not fulﬁll the requirements, in obedience, and entered not into rest, there yet remaineth a Sabbath of rest —-a day of a thousand years; the seventh day, one day being with the Lord as a thousand years. 2 Pet. 3-8. And this sixth day is preparation day, in which he makes man, or ﬁnishes him, in his image and likeness. ' Man, now in the fall, born in sin, is as Adam, the formed man, and not ﬁnished—— nor could he be till he has cruciﬁed the old man with its affections and lust, and the body of sin destroyed, and death abolished, and he be born again into immortality; as it says, This mortal shall put on immortality. 1 Coin 15-53. 54. This sixth day is shortened for the elect’s sake, or’ no ﬂesh would be saved. But for the elect’s sake I have shortened those days; (Matt. 24-22;) and Satan bound a thousand years (one day of the Lord’s time) to deceive the nations no more. This shall be that other kingdom, which shall be an everlast- ing kingdom which shall not pass away. All tears shall be wiped off all faces, andthere shall be no more sorrow nor cry- ing; neither shall there be any more death; and Christ shall reign with them on the earth. This earth shall be renovated and return back to its Eden state: and instead of the brier shall grow up the myrtle tree, and the deserts shall bloom in roses; and she shall yield her seven-fold. Therefore this is worth striving for: as Jesus said. Strive to enter in at the straight gate, for many shall strive to enter in and :h;1]] yjnt be able: i. e., after it is closed,—and even before. if they do not strive lawfully, and according to his plan. i Therefore this Messenger of the everlasting covenant has been sent. and the overhanging clouds are thickening up, and the winds of adversity are raising high. But I‘<’member this: Within the clniid; which bring the storm, the seed and Spirits of the iust will seouthe how in the clnud, ;\ token of the covenzint——which is a covenant of life. which says. I will no more destroy all ﬂesh. Notwithstanding all this. Christen- dom. with all her learned theologians. sav, A1] mug die, But his Word stands out. I will no more destroy all flesh. for :1 . remnant will be saved. And Jesus said. As in the drivs of Noah, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man; and as in the days of Lot. Israel Must Be Gathered and Prepared. and the Kingdom Established On Earth In Righteousness and In Peace. Ezek. 28-25, 26; Isa. 32-17. 18. ISRAEL shall be gathered as brands from the burning pile, and shall be gathered unto Shiloh. (Gen. 40-10.) and unto the Son of man: (Nlatt. 2C-Q1. 22;) and must nmv be sealed unto himself, and redeemed from among men. These are the wise virgins. (l\r'Iatt. 25'. 1-14.) with lamps trimmed and burning now in this visitation, which was to be as the days of Noah: and as Jonah was to his generation, so shall the Son of man be to his. In this visitation, seven angels sounded in order: and the foregoing messengers (James and John) were as "Moses and .Ioshua—tlie one, called the prophet to be raised up from among the brethren like unto ,\loses, rencwiiig the law; and the other. as Joshua, the minister of Moses; under which they could not obtain the promise and be made perfect. Therefore, of :1 necessity. a change of nfif-St- hood and a change of the law. l\'Ioscs (John) ‘and Joshua . ( James) gave not that bread from heaven; so it had to be that :1 high priest arise with the testimony of Jesus Christ, who was after the order of l\'Ielchisedec——in21de after the power of an endless life. By the law of the Spirit of life in Christ. we shall be set free from the law of sin and death, and be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. Rom. 8-21. Therefore the Seventh Angel Message ﬁnishes the mystery and restores the kingdom to Israel. He opens the door and is calling Israel home. And any climbing up some other way, the same is a thief and a robher—\vho rob God of the temple entrusted to them, Therefore watch, lest the thief enter the house and spoil the goods and break up the house.

THE BODY. Eph. 5-23. IT IS NOT THE FATHER’S WILL THAT ONE OF THESE LITTLE ONES SHOULD PERISH. Matt. 18-14. ALL scripture is written for us on whom the end has come; _ (1 Cor. 10-11;) therefore he declared the end from the beginning, and calleth those things that be not as though they were. Rom. 4-17. God foreseeing the fall and rise of man, Jesus stood as a Lamb slain from before the foundation of the world. Rev. 13-8. And why‘? Because in the spiritual realm there were angels and archangels (ﬁrst spirits, calling those things that be not as though they were); and as there was to be a fall, there was to be a resurrection in the creation of angels, and a creation of the Sons of God. Rom. 8-19. Therefore Michael was the spirit of Jesus, who pre-existed, and stood as a Lamb to be slain for the ransom of all souls; and Lucifer was an archangel and anointed cherub (spirit) of Eden, a bright and morning star, till iniquity was found in him, which was exaltation; and by this exaltation he raised war in heaven, and Michael and _his angels fought, and the dragon and his angels fought and prevailed not, and was cast from heaven to earth. Rev. 12-7. He was called a dragon because of his tale, by which he deceived his angels. He drew them down, or dragged them down; therefore he was called a dragon; (Rev. 12-9;) and why they were called angels was, that they, having taken bodies from the descent of Adam, who was a fallen spirit, will get a resurrection of the soul by the atonement. This is why Jesus stood as a Lamb slain from before the foundation of the world, (Rev. 13-8,) to redeem these back to God. And this is why they have need of repentance, falling ﬁrst in spirit, and afterwards in body, by and through sin ;‘ and therefore by , repentance they obtain the soul salvation; by and through A faith they obtained a free gift of grace, (Eph. 2-8,) and in F resurrection they are as the angels of God in heaven, and ' equal to the angels, etc. ‘ , In Adam All Die, But in Christ Shall All Be - ‘ Made Alive. 1 Cor. 15-22. ICHAEL’S angels stood in spirit with the union of the Godhead, and therefore needed no repentance, and so the gifts and calling of God are without repentance; (Rom. 11-29:) and they were reserved in heaven till the time of the CI1d;i2ll](l even Nlichael was reserved, and did not take a body till the year four thousand and one; the male of the first year, and the Lamb that stood as slain till the time when the sacriﬁce was to be made for the fallen race; and become thﬁ ﬁrstfruits of them that slept, (1 Cor. 15-20,) and the life for the livin-g. Therefore his coming was two-fold: First to save the souls of them who sleep, or have died in Adam, as it says, By one man’s sin death came into the world, and by one man’s sin many were made sinners; but by the right- eousness of one many are made righteous. Rom. 5-18, 19. ' And so it is written, In Adam all die, but in Christ shall all be made alive, but every man in his own order; (1 C01’- 15-22;) and as the old world came in first, by the first Adam, so also the new world will come in by the Latter Adam; and Christ is head of the church and Saviour of the body, -1 (Eph. 5-23,) a light to lighten the Gentiles; and comes the ‘ ‘ second time to be the glory of his people Israel.

But the promise to Israel is, I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed, for the Lord dwelleth in Zion. Joel 3-21.

THE 144,000 sons of God are redeemed from among med,’ (Rev. 14-4,) the archangels receiving immortal life of body, soul and spirit, made like Jesus the ﬁrstborn, (Rom. 8-29,) with a ﬂesh and bone body, less the blood; for the blood must first be cleansed, and then washed away by the Word of life,._;1s living waters of life, the living Word made ﬂesh. John 1-14. The spirits that fell with Lucifer were deceived, and Adam and Eve were the first fallen spirits in and so Satan became their king, prince and power of air, and. became the deceiver of the whole world, (Eph. 2-2,) and would deceive the very elect of the new world if it were possible. But it is not possible, because he could not deceive them in heaven; and therefore they receive the Spirit of truth, that other Comforter, which the world, i. e., the old world, cannot receive; but the spirits of the just can receive it, and it will lead them in the way of all truth and show them things to come. John 16-13. Therefore this Word of life was sealed from the old world, and man by nature cannot receive the things of the Spirit; the old world cannot therefore receive this other Comforter, the Spirit of truth; but Jesus said, My sheep know my voice, and a stranger they will not follow; (John 10-3, 4;) and as his teaching was for the new creation to come, and sealed from the old, he therefore spoke in proverbs and parables, and without a parable spake he not unto the people; but the time would come when he would no more speak in proverbs and parables, but show you (to whom the promise was made) plainly of the Father, (John 16-25,) by this visitation, or Spirit of truth which was to come. Therefore his first coming was before the time for the life of the body to whom the promise was made, as they were kept back till the time of the end. And so in his first coming he made the atonement for the soul-——souls of the Adamic race; and as to his teaching for the life of the body, soul and spirit, it was this they rejected, not being the spirits of the just. And as to the disciples, it is written, fore- speaking of the disciples, Bind up the testimony and seal the law among my disciples. Isa. 8-16. Therefore they could not understand his deep teaching; and at Pentecost they re- ceived the Spirit, called the Holy Ghost, and the Comforter, by which they saw in part and prophesied in part, as through a glass darkly; (1 Cor. 13-12;) but said, When the perfect thing is come, that in part shall be done away. Satan Bound For One Thousand Years; and There Shall Be No More Sorrow Nor Crying, Neither Shall There Be Any is More Death. Revelation 20-2; 21-4. ND’the spirits of the just having now come, to whom the promise was made before the world began, (Titus 1-2,) they will receive the Spirit of truth, which is the testimony of Jesus Christ, by which they will do the works that Jesus did, and greater works than these shall they do, etc. John 14-12. Therefore it is called the great and notable day of the Lord; (Acts 2-20 ;) and so his second coming is for the life of the body, soul and spirit, and to establish his kingdom upon earth in peace and-. in righteousness, and he shall reign with them on the earth, (Rev. 5-10,) when there will be universal peace on earth and good will to men. Luke 2-14. Satan is bound for one thousand years, and all tears wiped off all faces, and there shall be no more sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be any more death. Rev. 21-4. And in this the preparation day and the shortened time of the sixth day, or sixth thousand years, shortened for the elect’s sake in order to save ﬂesh, (Matt. 24-22,) they will do the will of God in earth as in heaven, by keeping the com- mandments of God and having the faith of Jesus Christ. Therefore repentance shall be hid from rriine eyes; (Hos. 13-14;) for the gifts and calling of God are without repent- ance. Rom. 11-29. For those whom he foreknew he pre- clestinated to be conformed to the image of his son; and them he called, he justified; and them whom he justified, he gloriﬁed, as he said, I have both gloriﬁed thee and will glorify thee again, (John 12-28,) now, in receiving his Bride, (Rev. 21-9,) in this great marriage of the Lamb. Rev. 19-7. As Jesus said, I do cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I shall be perfected, (Luke 13-32,) in this third prophetic day of two thousand years-—this shortened time of this dispensation in which he will raise us up and we shall live in his sight. Hos. 6-2. And so it is written, After two ‘days I will revive the hope of Israel, and in the third day I will raise them up, and they shall live in my sight. This signifies a prophetic day or dispensation of two thousand years each. And after two dispensations rolled away, Jesus came and revived the hope of Israel; but he did not gather Israel then; as it was said, This child is set for the earth, the beginning of the old world for six thousand years;, 4 11-15;) death abolished, and him who had power of death first coming the Jews claimed to be Israel, and he Came "mo his own, and his own received him not; (John 1-1 1;) ‘md he said, How oft would .I have gathered you, as 21 hm gathers her chickens under her wings, and ye would not. Matt. 23‘37- . Therefore they rejected life at the hands of Jesus, Who 7 - said, I have come that ye might have life, and have it more abundantly; but you would not come unto me that ye thigh‘ have life. And therefore they were cut off from the life Of Yhc body, (Rom. 11-22,) and the Gentiles grafted in (Rorn. ii-17) for the soul salvation; that both Jew and Gentile might be saved, one through faith, and the other by faith. both being under the blood, (Heb. 2-14,) and saved by.gr2§C€- Eph. 2-8. And in the event of the Gentiles not continuing . in his goodness, they should also be cut off. Rom. 11-22. And so it is written, Blindness in part happened to Israel until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in; (R0111. 11-25;) and then the prophecies would have their accom- plishment which say, Two parts shall be cut off and die, and ‘ the third part shall be left therein; and I will reﬁne them as silver is reﬁned, and try them as gold is tried; (Zech. 13-9;) and in that day Israel shall be the third. Isa. 19-24. There- fore neither Jew nor Gentile, as a church, are Israel; yet a remnant from both Jew and Gentile shall be gathered in-—- one tribe from the Jews, and the eleven from the Gentiles; as it is written, He will select a seed from the Gentiles for his name; and Paul said, Give none offence, neither to the Jew, nor to the Gentile, nor to the church of God; (1 Cor. 10-32;) showing neither Jew nor Gentile are the immortal church of God. He That Doeth the Will of My Father Shall Abide For Ever. 1 John 2-16, 17. THEREFORE the promise of an immortal life is to Israel, (Titus 1-2,) who will leave the (ﬁrst) principles of the doctrine of Christ and go on to perfection, (Heb. 6-1,) spoken of to come: When the perfect thing has come, then that in part shall be done away. 1 Cor. 13-10. And the perfect thing is redemption full and complete, of spirit, soul ‘~ 1 ‘ and body, (1 Thess. 5-23,) spirits of just men made perfect; and yea, more——God-man, made like Jesus, the ﬁrstborn among these many brethren. Therefore the earnest expecta- tion of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God, (Rom. 8-19,) and so it is written, Saviours shall come upon Mount Zion and judge Mount Esau; (Obad. 1-21 ;) and before this can be accomplished we must judge our-, selves, for if we judge ourselves we shall not be judged. 1 Cor. ii-31. - , Then they will be made priests and kings, who will judge angels, principalities and powers; and he maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a ﬂame of ﬁre; (Heb. 1-7;) and angels are put in subjection to the world to come;which is the millennial sabbath of i'est which remaineth- for the people of God; (Heb. 4-9;) and these sons of God wili judge the nations, who will bring their honor and glory into it. ' Rev. 21-24. He never called angels sons: “To which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my son, this day 4* have I begotten thee?” But he did call Israel his son, etc., 7 (Ex. 4-22,) Jesus the ﬁrstborn of the many brethren, 144, ' 000, to be revealed. Rom. 8-29., Angels desire to look into this great prorriise of life— temples of God kept undeﬁled that they be not destroyed. Jesus was raised higher than the angels, crowned with honor and glory‘; (Heb. 2-7;) and he said, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever. Psa. 45-6. He that doeth the will of my Father shall bide for ever; he shall not pass away. Matt. 7-21. Jesps spoke in proverbs and parables, to be revealed to the Israel of God; the Word of life which was sealed, to his unsealed by the seven angel messengers; and the Seventh‘to be the Interpreter. As it is written, If there be a Messenger‘, an Interpreter, one among a thousand, then be gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down into "the pit; I have found a ransom; his ﬂesh shall be‘-' ‘ come fresher than that of a child’s, and he shall return to the days of his youth. And therefore the Seventh Angel and Interpreter, when he begins to sound, the mystery shall be ﬁnished as declared to his servants the prophets. Rev. io-7. Showing that ‘ these things declared to his servants the prophets were sealed till the time of the end, when the Lion of the tribe of Judah would send his seven angels, as thunder sounds, to blow the trumpet in Zion and sound an alarm in my holy mountain, saith the Lord, (Joel 2-1,) and to unseal the mystery of life, and open the cleansing fountain in the House of David for sin and uncleanness, (Zech. 13-1,) and open the gates for the great ingathering of the children of Israel scattered abroad.

WE 383"‘ take thﬁ 0PP0l'tunity to give you a brief outline . of our progress in the ﬁeld. Many we meet say they I’ are in a state of unrest, and can see there is going to be , a great change on the planet. We know the time is short, and a_q11{‘3k “’°"k must be done upon the earth and cut short in righteousness. _ Since w-riting you last we have had some ﬁne meetings and interested crowds in Georgia, when the weather per-. _ mitted._ Some of our best meetings were in Macon. We ' found -It the prettiest town in Georgia, as it is situated on a hillside. We met some people there who had stayed at 7 our. Park several seasons, and were coming back to spend _ their summer vacation there this summer, as they were very much taken up with the House of David. _ While preaching there on Sunday morningto a large audience, and explaining the different heavens, one man asked me to prove that there was more than one heaven. So I ' showed him that Paul was caught up to the third heaven; and asked him if he did not think there would ave to be a ﬁrst and second"heaven if there was a third. He said, I cer- tainly do. I then told him to read Psalms 113-4, where “it said that Jesus ascended far above all heavens; and also that scripture which said, The heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; (1 Kings 8-27;) also Acts 3-21, where it says, YVho;f1 the heavens must receive until the times ».of the full restitution of -all things. Now, I said, What “heaven are you bound for? Oh, he said, If I can go where esus went I will be satisﬁed. We asked him if he noticed that Jesus said, ‘Where I go you cannot come. We then ‘told him he had better stay here on earth, as Jesus said, If‘ I go away, I will come again, and receive you unto myself, that'where I am (on the earth), there ye shall be also. We also showed him this was in harmony with the Lord’s prayer: Thy kingdom come; thy will be done in earth. This seemed ‘to satisfy him, and he took SH1LoH’s MESSENGER or Wis- DOM, and a set of our books. Our next towns of any note were -Greenwood ‘and Anderson, S. C., where we had some of our best meetings. A great many of the people became so interested they took everything we had in the line of literature. A brother who had all the literature came to Greenwood from Columbia to hear us preach on Sunday, and also made several ‘more trips to Charlotte, N. C. This is where we met with Siéter Roxie , and Brother Gordon, and were very glad to see their faces ,6 again. Here they have a large barracks, and about 5o,ooo soldiers. VVe found a great many of them interested in this rriessage, many officers taking everything we had in the I‘ A‘ line of literature, and said they would see us again in Benton -Harbor, Mich. VVe also met many boys who were from , Benton Harbor, who said they were glad to 566 OUT f3C€5- 'Here we met a brother who had been to the colony four "years ago, and expected to take another trip.

This was highly appreciated; and as there were two parties of Israelite preachers in Charlotte, one party went with the auto, while the other preached in Charlotte- In one of our meetings at Rock Hill a man came up and said to me You have the best religion I ever heard, and you are the ﬁfst person I ever donated anything to in my life.

We had 500d meetings here’ fhe geople giving us good attention with the exception of a Salvation Army captain, who said I was telling the people a falsehood by saying the bible has been a sealed book. He also said his bible has been unsealed to him. So I said, If bible is unsealed to you, tell the audience what the ypeiér of knowledge of good and evil is, and what the tree of life is; but he failed to give an answer.

But the bible says in l52ll‘.ll1 52-8, “They shall see eye to eye, when the Lord brings again Zion.” , From here we went to Greensboro for -.1 week. Here we stayed with a brother and sister who have also visited the colony, and talk the faith every opportunity they have to those that are searchers for the truth. One man whom they talked to four years ago about the faith of Israel happened to be in the city while we were there. He came down to hear us preach, and afterwards took all of the literature, and said that was the only time he became interested in the We enjoyed our week here, and were glad to meet anyone interested in the faith. VVe also met several more that are interested, and will be glad when they receive the call to come home.

WE received the general letter for this week. We have been having good meetings, and much interest shown. A. dentist came up to us at one of our meetings, and said he was interested in what we were saying. He asked us. to call on him at his oﬂice, as he wanted to have a talk with us on the scripture. So later we called on him and had a real good talk. We found he had read Charles Russell’s work, but he said he was not satisﬁed with his explanations of many things. Then he read “Science and Health,” and found lots of good things in it; but still it seemed to be very far from what he wanted. Then he read “Theosophy,” and found many fine things, but still was in the dark. At last he got Joanna’s books from the Joanna people here, and they were grand to him, and settled many things; but he had to read so much to get a little, but felt that Joanna was truly visited by the spirit of God. He then obtained‘ the seven Books or Wrsooivi from us; and yesterday he found his way down to where we are stopping, and told us he had got what his heart had been longing for. He said, “This man Benjamin has the spirit of God in its fulness, for he takes all scripture and brings out the true meaning of it—things that did not seem to have any meaning are shown up with wonderful meanings. VVhy it is just simply He got some more LITTLE Books, and took them backwith him to lay on his table in his office, so people could have a chance to read them if they choose. One day this week, while we were announcing our meet- ing, an officer stepped up, and told us to move away. We told him we had our permit. He said, You will have to see the chief. Previous to this we had seen the assistant chief, who gave us permission to speak on a vacant lot, and announce our meeting on the street. But this day he told us we would have to see the chief. So after we had held our meeting on the lot, we went to the police station, and met the sergeant, and told him that the police requested a written permit. So he said, You will have to see the license burEau clerk. So we went to see him; and he told us there was no ordinance against singing, playing or announcing a meeting on the street. So we asked him for a written permit, but he sent us to the city clerk to get a blank. The city clerk told us that there was an ordinance against it; therefore did not issue any permits. He told us if the police inter- fered to bring him up with us to see him; as the police authorities do not enforce the law. Well we were not inter- fered with for two or three days afterward, when a plain clothes man stepped up and told us to move along. We told him we had gotten permission. He said, That don’: make any difference, you will have to see the chief. At this point a lady stepped up and shook hands with us, and said she had been a reader of this work for seven years; and had received the literature from Joseph and Walter at Nash- ville, Tennessee. She then -turned to the police and said, If you knew who these people were, I am sure you would not talk like that. VVe then held our meeting on the lot, and the lady went with us up to see the chief, as she had met him before. We stated the situation to the chief; and he said he was not going to stop anything like that, for it always did good. He picked up the phone and told the sergeant not to interfere with Rev. Hill; and to pay no attention to any reports that might come in. The woman then invited us out to her home to see her father and mother, and to stay to supper. On our arrival, the mother told us that she had just made the statement this morning, that she wished she could see some of the Israelite preachers. VVe had a nice conversation, and found they had a good supply of Joanna Southcott’s writings, as they are being reprinted in this town. The father said he could see Joanna had the Spirit all right. But we told him we have a further message in the Seventh, which contains the substance in full. They have been at- tending our meetings regularly. We met a young man here who is now on his way to Seattle, who got some of the literature. VVe also met a Russellite here, who intends sending for the books. We ave him one of the LITTLE Books, so as to get the principles of the faith, also the headquarters address, where he can send for the literature.

After several very hot d;iys—~scorcliing in fact——;i wind storm blowing all day left it cooler, and today is perfect. Yester- day it blew so hard it really required an effort to keep your feet securely on the ground—-clouds of dust ﬂying every- where. At present we are in the very center of the 7.inc-lead mining district. It is very prosperous just now. everything booming, this town especially so, all kinds of building going on and plenty of people on the street ‘all the time. There are several other towns within 21 few miles of here, all Zinc towns, which we can motor or taxi to, about four miles away. One is called Picher. Everyone tells us it is a very rough place; nothing but miners. The whole town, with a population of several thousand people, consists of shacks, tents, etc., for as the zinc and lead gives out they move on to another place. VVe left Tulsa last Monday, after 21 stay of ten days there. It is a ﬁne town, and we did well every time we spoke. We made our ﬁrst stop at Claremore, a watering place. They have a mineral water there, which they call “radium water.” I think it is the same as ours, being like it in taste and smell. We did well there. One man took quite a lot of literature. An attorney there was very interested too. He got three books, then came back and got another, and said it was the best he had ever heard in his life. Of course where such a nice spirit was shown a few disturbers had to appear too. They were easy though; in fact we didn’t bother much with them. They wanted eternal torment. We told them it was torment enough to just have to listen to such rubbish, as such stuff belonged to the dark ages, and not to this en- lightened age; and as we had an intelligent crowd, they were soon frozen out. ' Well it is now Saturday morning. We held a meeting last night, and had a ﬁne crowd. The people sure did like the way the scriptures were explained. A good many talked a long time t_o us after we closed the meeting, asking us questions. One man took all the Books or Wisooivi, and another is going to take the Book of Enoch tonight. One man called out during the meeting, “What was the serpent in the garden of Eden?” as we had said it was no snake. I told him it was a man, and proved it by what God said, “Everything shall bring forth after their‘own kind,” etc., also by what Jesus said. There was only one serpent mentioned in Genesis, but by the time Jesus came, 4,000 years after, they must have multiplied exceedingly, as he found a whole gen- eration of them, as he said, Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers! He was not out in the ﬁeld talking to snakes; but he was talking to people. The people liked it ﬁne. One man said he enjoyed the sermon better than any he had heard in 2 5 years. Another man came up and enquired if we were Russellites. I said, .\’Iost decidedly not, and had nothing whatever to do with them. He said, Well I didn’t think you were, for you believe in war, don’t you? I said, Yes, I do; it is a fulﬁllment of scriptures, and the outcome will be peace on earth and good will to men. Well, he said, “You have the right faith. I would not stand and listen to anyone against this war.” He took three of our books. A lot of - people asked us to speak again, which we hope to do, but it has rained all morning. _, / We will close for the present, with much love to you and all, we remain yours in the race for life and immortality.

THE great four voices of the l\'Iost High God: The first is the Holy Michael blessing the Lord of spirits, Christ of God. The second is the Holy Raphael, which voice was heard blessing the Elect One, and the elect who were cruciﬁed on account of the Lord of spirits, in obedience in love. And the third voice was Gabriel, heard petitioning and praying for those who dwell on earth, and supplicating the name of the Lord of spirits. ' Gabriel who is over all that is power- ful, and over Ikisat, and over paradise; and the fourth is Phanuel, presiding over repentance, and the hope of those who shall inherit eternal life. i Many heavens, but‘-one paradise; and so‘ there are heavens below and heavens above, and paradise according to its divisions, and concerning human action. And in most all things natural, there is also the spiritual conditions. The winds, the rain, and snow, and dew, and the clouds, the visible things of the creation, show forth the invisible, even the eternal power and Godhead, by which all were created, and man the highest type of creation made and is to be made in his image and after his likeness, to be lords of creation, possessing the power of creation, through Christ, the bright- ness of his glory, and the express image of his person, by wh3m he made the worlds. And the winds, the pillars of the earth, i. e., the ethereal winds, turn the sky, and cause the sun, rhoon and stars to set; and the clouds by it are carried over the earth. And he speaks of the clouds that pass over the earth, and the cloud itself, which continued over the earth before the creation of the world. Notice! the cloud itrelf, which continued over the‘-dearth, before the creation of the world. This is of 11 private interpretation. The wind blew around the ball of ﬁre, which created water before earth was formed, and the cloud itself, which continued over the earth in its formation, and which was the darkness covering the face of the deep, before the creation of the world, or before its completion, and before the creation of living creature and moving thing, etc. {and as the winds blew around the formation of the world, so also the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters, and said: Let there be light! And the cloud rolled back at the word of the Lord; and as the winds blew from whence they came, so is every man born of spirit, and born of water and spirit, not of blood, nor of the will of man, nor of ﬂesh, but of God, and not of human origin, having no beginning of days nor end of life. The World Loves Its Own, and Its Own Loves the‘ World, But the Elect - Will Come Out of the World. James 4-4; Rev. 18-4. AND. the wind, fire, and water, and clouds and ftiost all things of like nature are compared to the spiritual, that man might be able to see and comprehend the invisible things of creation. The fire, the winds, and the water, seas, rivers, and springs, and clouds, rain, dew, and frost, and snow and the earth, with all its precious things, made for Israel’s sake. And the sun, moon and stars of the ﬁrmament heaven, representing the glories pertaining to man, who are Of Cafih and of heaven; and the seas, rivers, and springs are spoken of in comparison. And in the beginningnt speaks of 3 garden inclosed, a spring shut up, a fountain sealed, Q be unsealed to the elect.

And so now the visitation returns with wisdom justified of her children, but many will rebel, and because of iniquity will be cast out, and unwillingly go forth, but ﬁnding habitation, make to themselves friends with the mammon of unrigliteousness, that they may be received into their houses or habitations. And some go out from us that it might be made manifest that they are not of us. And besides I saw many come and go from the place of the holy. The work is to believe in me. Faith proven by the works of him who sent us. and who called us; and yet it says: Many are called but ‘few are chosen. And so there are various callings, and the promise to him that cndureth to the end, when the work is ﬁnished; with patience to wait for the promise. His reward is with him and his work before him, and the kingdom prepared from the foundation of the world, and yet remaineth for the peo- ple of God, (Heb. 4-9,) to enter in. It is written of the fallen angels: “In heaven have they been,” or they could not have agreed and rebelled against it, and could not have sold their inheritance for a look, and could not have left their own habitation; and therefore it was justly said: Never shall they ascend into heaven! Therefore such as have been numbered in Israel, and leave this habitation, it is evident they have not dwelt in the visitation of heaven. The'third who will be cast out, it is evident they have no visitation of heaven, and do not therefore dwell in heaven, for he said: Never should they ascend into heaven. They draw them by their tail. If they dwell in the Spirit of truth how could they be drawn, by the dragon’s tail, or tale? And therefore he only draws his own. It is said the world loves its own. Yes; that’s an inherited law! And its own loves the world. Therefore as the elect are mixed with it, and tainted with its poison, it is said: Except ye leave father and mother, etc., ' for the kingdom’s sake, are not worthy; but the elect will come out from the world in the true sense of the word, and i free themselves by- a clean cut and .make the Abraham ‘sacrifice, severing all connection with the world, the devil and the ﬂesh, and have that enmity required between them- selves and the seed of the serpent, and overcome the dragon power with all his charms, attracting power, which is to prove every elect, which must come to a decision and make a clean cut, which sets themselves free from the bondage of Satan, and from corruption, and brings deliverance into the glorious liberty of the children of God. Seek wisdom, since it has visited the earth again, that you may be mind- ful of that country from whence ye came, that you may return! Jesus Wﬁs the Son of Glory! Shining In Darkness, and the Darkness Compre- hended It Not. John 1-5. THE moon is shown to be in its path, light to the righteous, and darkness tosinners; and its inﬂuence to the seed of the righteous, and prefigures the glory of the righteous, aliens of_ mount Esau, according to the righteousness of the law in'the name of the Lord of spirits, who created a division between light and darkness, and separating the spirits of men, strengthened the spirits of the righteous, in the name of his own righteousness, which denotes soul salvation glory also, and strengthens them in their own righteousness. And there are three divisions of the spirits and souls of the Adamic world—as I have already shown, and wisely separated for many reasons—besides the three divisions of the fallen angels; they would contaminate each other in spirit as in ﬂesh, and the judgment could not be the same. And the great seventh in their separation in spirit, and so also in ﬂesh, and different divisions or heavens on ac- count of the aliens of mount Esau; and so it says: T,wo nations are in her womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from her bowels, and all told, all terminating into seven heavens. But in the old world on account of the deceivers and the deceived, wisdom found not a place on earth to inhabit. So her dwelling place was in heaven. "Notwithstanding wisdom went forth to dwell among the sons of men, but obtained not a habitation; so she returned to her place, and seated herself among the angels. And in the case of Enoch, Elijah, and Esdras, in order to obtain wisdom they entered heaven by a visitation. And Jesus,‘ coming from heaven, obtained wisdom’s lively proportion, the fulness of her glory, because she brought him forth, he being a son of wisdom’s glory, and the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person; made in his image, and after his likeness created he him. And now in this visitation male and female creates he them, while the Adamic world sleeps on. A deep sleep fell upon Adam, and they were still found sleeping in the garden of his great suﬁering, condemned by the Gadrel world of darkness. He was the son of glory shining in darkness, and the dark- ness comprehended it not. It was as the sun setting, but which arose again triumphant. And so they went to the garden about sunrise, and found the true and living Son had arisen in all of its glory, and so he said, ought not he to have suffered all these things, and en- tered into his glory? For sun, moon, and stars, being bright, and sent to do their offices, are obedient.

We have had some good meetings, and many have takenour liter- ature, and tell us they have received more light on the scr1p- tures, after listening to us for five minutes, than all the ' years they have attended church. ' One lady who became deeply interested, and had been studying faith healing, remarked, This is just the message , I have been looking for. She took the seven Booxs or Wis- DOM, all the small books, BOOK or ENOCH, and subscribed for SHrLoH’s MESSENGER or WISDOM. This lady is now pressing forwai'd—not for temporary healing, but for the permanent healing of the body, which can be obtained by «v complying with the laws of Christ, to be made whole, every‘ whit. St. Paul’s prayer will be answered in those that do this, when he said, The very God of peace sanctify you wholly, and I pray God, your whole spirit, and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesu Christ. 1 Thess. 5-23. ‘ There is a class of people that come to the meetings that say they don’t belong to any sect. They have no name, but say they follow in the truth of Jesus’ way. These people get amongst the crowd, and try to persuade them _ not to take our literature, and say we are trading on the 9 ‘blood of Jesus. We explained to the satisfaction of the qrowd that we were teaching the great salvation, the redemp- , » tion of the body——not a fountain ﬁlled with blood, but a cleansing fountain now opened in the House of David for sin and uncleanness. Zech. 13-1. We told them we did ‘ for soul salvation, which is a free gift of grace without, of body, soul and spirit, which is to be"\aftained unto by faith and works.

THE TWO WAYS THE COMMON SALVATION AND THE GREAT SALVATION. Jude 3. ET us remember that there is a law of a carnal command- ment, which was given for the carnal man, which is the dead letter of the law, which killeth, and there is a law also mixed with it, which is the law of life. which was intended for the spiritual minded ‘man for immortality. Therefore Paul said, The law wasordained unto life; but the thing which was ordained unto life he found to be unto death be- cause of camality——i. e., the carnal mind only sees and accepts the law of a carnal commandment, which giveth death. .Therefore it is written, There is a way that seemeth right .unto man, but the way thereof is death. The way of a carnal commandment is supposed to be given by God, and it seemeth to be right unto the carnal man, nevertheless the ways thereof is death, for the dead letter of the law killeth, but the spirit maketh alive. So let us’ remember that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. Therefore as touching the first rudiments it applies in this wise: The way of the common salvation seemeth right unto a man, but the ways thereof is death; but it comes closer home to Israel, for two nations are in the womb of Prov- idence, and two manner of people shall be separated by the law of separation from her womb. And herein the separa- tion takes place in Israel, dividing the children of promise, --who will, by the Spirit, be brought out from the law of a carnal commandment or dead letter, into the law of the Spirit of life; and by the law of Christ, will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God; whereas the children of the bond will remain under the law of bondage—i. e.," the law of a carnal commandment, or i the dead letter of former ‘types and shadows. All Scriptures Are Written For Us Upon Whom the End of the World Has Come. 1 Corinthians 10-11. ‘ I-IEREFORE these laws were given in negative and the Jﬁirrnative, to prbve the creation, which was, as it is written: All scriptures are written for us upon whom the * ends of the world has come; for the proving time and the separation of the, old world and the new is to take place xicw in Israel. A i I fell from the first command and lost -obedience, the law was added because of the transgression of the ﬁrst, to prove obedience and to separate the children of ‘ccarnality, which is the old Aldam, or the Adamic man who was born in carnality, even by the law of a carnal com- '5 mandment; for did not Jesus, the Spiritual latter Adam, say to the Jews, .who kept the law of a carnal commandment, 'Ye'are of your father the devil, and of his works (and lusts) will ye do‘? Satan with his soldiers fought ‘against i Jesus, the Spiritual Adam, and will still fight for his king- dom by the law to hold it. Nevertheless their own sword will, slay them, like Saul who sought to slay David, until he fell upon his own sword, and it ‘pierced him through. Add the ﬂaming sword was placed for that purpose, lest man by the law of a carnal commandment would reach forth his hand and partake of the tree of life, and live. But the law of separation shall separate them as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats. And the goats say they are a clean animal according to the law—and as touching the dead letter of the law of a carnal commandment they are, and are circumcised according to it, but not according to the law of the Spirit of life. Therefore they shall be put on the left hand by the law of the negative, and are called V foolish virgins. They are called virgins, but they are with- out the virtue of the spirit, and are cracked vessels, 1 who lose thf 0,1 by the law of a carnal commandment—sow'ing to the ﬂesh by the law. God Took Enoch That He Might Not See Death, and Stands As a Living Witness. Hebrews 11-5. NOW the law of a carnal commandment savours of death, whereby they are commanded to kill and make sacriﬁces, first for their own sins and afterwards for the people. _ This was ended by Jesus, who by the law of the Spirit or 1 e, broucrht life and immortality to light thmugh the 805P°l= which is a better way; and he was the leader of Israel, who shall bring them into the promised possession of our inherit- .anCe, wherein Moses could not enter. ‘ Now how could any man enter by the same law, if he could not lead Israel into the promised land‘?

The l3W Of 31 commandment was given and intended to divide a Cam mmand was ordained unto life- ‘ ' - for the co . the mhernfffnliefit unto life and of death unto death, with 3 savou ’ we by Therefore Joshua became an outside form or hull containing the kernel and germ of life to be cracked and rightly divided, working either life or death according to how it is eaten. The ﬁrst command was broken by Adam when life and death were set before hm. good and evil, and his inheritance was divided; and he blamed God for giving him the woman, and he reaped the wages of sin. Enoch also had the two ways set before him,‘ and en- samples, but he chose obedience and ate the kernel, the germ of life. He chose the good and refused the evil, and received life. He had nothing to do with death. nor did he stand on that side, for he walked with God. Therefore God took him; who stands as a living witness. He did not eat ﬂesh of any kind; and the ﬂesh of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, he also overcame it; and being the seventh from Adam, he was translated. In the second day the law of Moses was added, because of the transgression of the ﬁrst. God set forth unto them the law of life after the destruction of the old world; and he told them every living thing should be unto them for meat, even as the green herb was in the ﬁrst dispensation, where they under it lived long, even in the evil. But remember, he told them what the result would be, just as he told Adam at first what the result would be, in the day he ate of the tree of knowledge of good and evil; for it was undivided, but it divided his inheritance. God Set Good and Evil, Life and Death, Before Man. Therefore Choose Ye ! Deuteronomy 30-19. SO we here see good and evil, life and death, set before the sons of Noah. As at first, he gave them to understand that the life of the beast should be required at the hand of man. Here we see the law of life set before them, as it was also commanded on the mount, Thou shalt not kill. There- fore the law of life and the law of a carnal commandment were mixed, as other scriptures, to be rightly divided; for the children of camality, or of the ﬂesh, could not receive the things of the Spirit, and therefore they carried out the form of the law by their own camality, being carnally mindcd——not perceiving the law of the Spirit of life, which was ordained unto life. Therefore good and evil, life and death, were set before them. God will give a man his heart’s desire; but first I want you to notice that he always offers the good first. Look at Adam; also after the deluge when he made a covenant of life, and told them what effect would follow certain causes. When Moses began to de- liver the children of Israel from Egyptian darkness, from the carnality of the ﬂesh pots of Egypt, he sought every deliverance by the power of God. By the power of God he_ crossed the Red Sea into the wilderness; and the faith which was once delivered unto the saints was the life of the body by the law of ‘the Spirit of life, which Spirit of Christ fol- lowed them in the wilderness. By that Spirit Elijah kept he law of the Spirit of life, and by that same Spirit he was lifted up from the fall. of the first Adam. The children of Israel lusted back after the ﬂesh pots of Egypt, after seeing the power of God manifested among them from time to time; but through the camality of the ﬂesh they lost sight of the Spirit of life, and therefore they fell in the wilderness of sin, and were not delivered from the law of sin and death. Therefore after having life and death, good and evil, set before them, as in former days, they desired the ﬂesh pots like as in Egypt, and God gave them their hearts’ desire by the quails, and they did eat to their hearts’ content. Nevertheless they fell by death, thousands in one day, while the ﬂesh was yet between their teeth——-an ensample for us upon whom the end has come. God‘Made Not Death, But Through Envy of the Devil Came Death Into the World. Wis. of S01. (Apoc_.) 1-13; 2-24. OW he has set his hand the second time to recover the remnant of his people Israel; for the seed has come to whom the promise is made, when all Israel must be proven and separated by the law of separation, and choose the law of the Spirit of life,, which is the law of Christ, which will set us free from the law of sin and death, or choose the law of a carnal commandment, or the dead letter which killeth. And let us not deceive ourselves to think that God would command you to kill and eat dead ﬂesh, and then kill you for the same. God does not kill, for he made not death, but through envy of the devil death came into the world; and he that holdeth with him on that side, i. e., on the side of ‘death, shall surely ﬁnd it, at the hands of Satan. But the life of man shall be required at his hands, for he is the murderer and the thief. And do not lose sight of the fact that he that killeth an ox or lives upon dead ﬂesh stands on that side. Therefore the life of the beast shall be re- uired at the hand of man—satanic man—even as the life of man shall be required at hand of Satan. The Law of the Spirit of Life Shall Set You Free From the Law of Sin and Death. Romans 8-2. LOOK.back and see if man has not been reaping the Wages of sin, and the life of the beast required at his hand. Both the man and the beast together have been going to the dust, the man’s body having no pre-eminence above the beast. Both equal, alike return to corruption and rise no more. Mari fell and became equal with the beast. VVhere- fore let man, if he desires to be raised from the effects of that fall, discern and be wise, and learn and understand that God has set good and evil, life and death, before the sons of men, to choose. He furthermore has given t’X‘.lllll)l(‘S and set before us causes and effects; therefore let man now lift up his head, and open his eyes, and rightly divide be- tween the law of the Spirit of life and the law of a carnal commandment, or dead letter, which killeth; and not be as the first Adam, blame God, and accuse him of death, and choose through the Carnality of your own hearts the law of a carnal commandment; and when you ﬁnd it to fail, then blame God for giving you the woman and the law because you fulﬁl it in the lust thereof.

CALLED THE 60 PROPOSITIONS, IS SUPPOSED T0 VHIVE BEEN WRITTEN BY JANE LEED, NEARLV 300 YEARS AGO, AND IS HAVING ITS FULFILLMENT TODAV IN ISRAEL OF THIS VISITATION. 13. The election and preparation of this church is . after a secret and hidden manner, as David in his minority f‘ was elected and anointed by the prophet of God, yet was not admitted to the outward possession of the kingdom for 21 considerable time afterward. 31. Then it will goon to multiply and propagate ‘itself universally, not only as to the number of the first. 3-born (144,000), but also to the remnant of the seed (aliens), and strangers, against whom the dragon shall make war. . 2. Therefore the spirit of David shall most eminent- y re ve in this church, and more especially in some or other selected member of it, as the blossoming root is to precede the day of Solomon in the millennium. These will have might given them to overcome the dragon and his angels, even as David.‘ overcame Goliath and the Philistines. , ' This will be the standing up of Michael the great prince of Israel, and will be as the appearance of Moses against Pharaoh, in order that the chosen seed may be bfrought outrfrom their hard servitude. , -34. Egypt ‘being a ﬁgure of this servile creation Baby- ‘ Ion, under which each one of A'braharn’s seed groan, but a prophetical generation will theMost High raise up, who shall ' "deliver his people by the mere force of spiritual arms. 35. For which there must be raised‘ up certain head powers to bear the first offices, who are to be persons of great geminence and favor with the trinity, whose dread and fear .shall fall upon all nations, visible andinvisible, because of the mighty acting power of the Holy Ghost which shall rest upon them. . I .. 36. For Christ before his own distinct and personal ppearance, will ‘ﬁrst appear and represent himself in some _chosen vessels, anointed to be leaders unto the rest, and to ~ bririg into the promised land the new creation state. 37. Thus Moses, Joshua and Aaron may be considered :. as‘ types of some upon whom the same spirit may come, yet .. to rest in greater proportions, whereby they shall make a way for the ransomed of the Lord to return to Mt. Zion. ' 38. But none shall stand in any considerable office . under God, but they who are tried stories, after the pattern ’ f thp chief corner stone, Christ Jesus. _ 39. Thisfwill be a thorny trial which very few (144, :2) will bezable to pass, or bear up in, wherefore the waiters :for the" visible breaking out of, this church, are strictly charged to hold fast that which they have,‘ and wait together in unity of pure love, praying in the spirit according to.the apostolic pattern, that they may be sent forth to multiply universally. ' 40. This trial must be of absolute necessity to_ every .‘one in particular and to all in general for the constituting and cementing of the church of Philadelphia together, by the ‘clearing away of all the remaining inﬁrmities of nature, and .buming up all the hay, stubble and dross which may have been added to the Word of the,Lord. 41. For nothing must remain in this church ‘but what can remain in the ﬁre, Holy Ghost. For as a reﬁner will the Lord purify the sons and daughters of the living God,‘ ‘and’ purge them unto perfect righteousness. . . 42. Through the operation of the spirit in these waiters. they may for a long time contend with many inﬁrmitics and 3; evils yet if it be kept continually warm and watched it can- not at last but work out a perfect cure and bring a full and total redemption from the earth. _ 5 . ‘ 44. This priestly, anointed body will render them im- pregnable and qualify them for that high degree of spiritual government to which they are called. , . 45, Wherefore it requires on our part to suffer the s irit of burning to do upon us the reﬁning work, fanning us ‘Sigh his ﬁery breath searching every part within us until all. be pure and clean, and we thereby arrive to his ﬁxed body from which wonders are to flow out. . ‘ Upon this body will be the ﬁxation of the Urim r%17;,mm;m that are to be appropriated to the Melchise- and der whose descent is not to be counted in’ the de‘C1::;1og', ofimat creation (under the fall), but is another ge genealogy which is from the restoration- ‘ ‘ll have a deep inward I 48. :1 cn(iIivitr}1:5cins}i)gii:tS tintiiq the secret things of the search. an 3,“ be able to prophesy on clear ground, not Deitly. anéi atical for they will know what is couched gprtljim)’ fig: Origgiglajigy (if all being and the eternal arch tyipie. of naturc, and will be capacitated to bring them forth acco . -. 11 d ' l'fted p, sweareth in d iI:hlit:4<)O1is(iies:ht(l’1s:t ’f;i’I«i>mls:5l)lraharfil’s l0i1'15» 3°°°l'd' Fmﬂtloatxiie sibgirit there shall arise a hol}’ P’ie5’—h°°d' mg T hesd are such characteristics, or marks.

This manifestation must be the absoluteness of power and in the beauty of holiness, so bringing down heaven upon earth and representing here the new Jerusalem state. 55. In order to which, spirits that are thus purely be- gotten, conceived and born of God, can ascend to Jenisalem above, where their head in great majesty doth ‘reign, and there. receive such a mission whereby they shall be empowered to bring down to this world its transcendant glory. 56. None but those arisen in Christ in the regeneration (reformation) can thus ascend and receive of his glory; can descend again to communicate the same, being thereby his representatives upon the new earth and subordinate priests under him, the Lord of lords, and King of kings. 57. Now he that ascended and gloriﬁed has made him- self our debtor, consequently he will not be wanting in qualifying and furnishing certain high principal instruments who shall be most humble, and of as little regard as Daniel was, whom he will dignify with great knowledge and priest- ly sovereignty for the drawing together in one, the scat- tered little ﬂock into_ one fold coming out of all nations. 60. The society is not the church of Philadelphia, but consists of those who are associated, to wait‘ and hope in the unity of the spirits for its appearance and manifestation, wherefore there is such a strict charge given them throughout this message to be watchful and quicken up their pace. BRIEFS FROM, WASHIN/G TQ_H’S VISION STRANGE FORECAST OF THE DESTINY OF THE AMERICAN NATION IN THE FULL ACCOUNT OF WASHINGTOIWS VISION, THERE ARE THREE VISIONS, TWO OF WHICH ARE SUPPOSED TO‘ HAVE BEEN FULFILLED. THE THIRD IS SUPPOSED TO BE YET TO COME. THE FULL ACCOUNT OF THIS VISION IS REPRINTED IN A PREVIOUS ISSUE OF SHILOH'S MESSENGER OF WISDOM. [We do not hold ourselves responsible for the authen_t.lclt.y of these vis- ions, nor do we present them to you as divine authority, but print them exactly as they came into our possession, entirely on their own mei-|ts.] AND I beheld the villages towns and cities in America in- crease in size and number till at last they covered all the land from the Atlantic to the Paciﬁc, and their inhabitants became as countless as the stars of heaven, or as the sands of the sea shore. And again I heard the voice saying, ‘Son of the Republic, the end of a~centu1'y co1ncth—look and learn!” “At this the dark and shadowy angel placed a trumpet to his mouth and blew three distinct blasts, and taking water from the ocean, sprinkled it upon Europe, Asia and Africa.” “Then my eyes looked upon a fearful scene. From each of the countries abpse thick black clouds which soon joined into one; and throughout this mass gleamed a dark red light, bywhich I saw hordes of armed men, who, moving with the cloud, marched by land and sailed by sea to America; which country was presently enveloped in the volume of the cloud. And I dimly saw these vast armies devastate the whole country, and pillage and burn villages, towns and cities that I had beheld springing up. As my ears listened to ,the thunderings of cannon, clashing of swords, and shouts and ' cries of the million in mortal combat, I again heard the mys- terious voice saying: ‘Son of the Republic, look and learn!” “When the voice had ceased, the dark, shadowy angel placefd hifs ltrgpipet Once more to/his mouth, and blew a long and ear u ast.” ' “Instantly a light, as from a thousand suns, shone down from above me, and ‘pierced and broke into fragments the dark cloud which enveloped America. At the same moment I saw the angel—upon whose forehead still shone the word Union, and bore our national banner in one hand and sword in the otlhejrvﬁdescend from Heaven attended by legions of brightsldiijits. These immediately joined',the in- habitants of America,’ who I perceived were well nigh overcome, but whoiinimediately took courage again; closed up their broken ranksand renewed the battle. And amid the fearful noise of the conﬂict, I heard the mysterious voice saying: ‘Son of the Republic, look and learn!” “As the voice ceased, the shadowy angel for the last time dipped water from the ocean, and sprinkled it on Amer- ica- Instantly the dark clouds rolled back, together with the arriiieﬁ it had brought, leaving theffnhabitants of the land victorious. Then once more I beheld the villages, towns and cities‘ springing up where theyhad been before, while the bright angel planted the azure standard he had brought in the midst of them, and_ cried in a loud Voice to the inhab- itants’: ‘VVhile the stars remain, and the‘ he vens send down dews upon the earth so long shall thhliiepublic last!’ and takincrfrom his brow (the crown‘ on Which’still blazed the 1’-dTUm'or2, he placed it upon the standard.

THERE SHALL BE ANOTHER KINGDOM ESTABLISHED, WHICH SHALL BE AN EVERLASTING? KINGDOM WHICH SHALL NOT L PASS AWAY. - DANIEL 7-14,27. THE DEAD LETTER KILLETH, BUT THE SPIRIT MAKETH ALIVE. 2 Corinthians 3-6. ALL scripture is written for us upon whom the end IWZISVCOIIIIC, (,1 Cor. 1o-11) therefore he declared the end from the beginning and calleth those things that be not as though they were. Rom. 4-17. And the sum and substance of all the scriptures, i. c., the spirit of the word, was given pertain- ing to the kingdom of God, ’ to be established on earth, Paradise restored which was lost by transgression, and the earth cursed because of sin, and which had its origin with the fallen angels——rebellion against God, and from Adam’s sin was driven from the garden of Eden’s paradise, and cherubims placed with ﬂaming swords to guard the gates of righteousness. And since that time sin and crime have been multiplied, as it was declared to‘ Eve, after having been deceived with the serpent-beast, one of the fiillen iingels; being deceived was in the transgression. 1 Tim. 2-14. And so the Lord God said, For this cause, in thy conception thou shalt bring forth children in sorrow and sorrow shall be multiplied; (Gen. 3-16;) and so Paul said, The whole crea- tion groancth and travaileth in pain together until now, and even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body, (Rom. 8-23,) which was and is the promise to the spirits of the just, made by God, who cannot lie, before the world began. Tit. 1-2. Andtherefore and for this cause the spirits of the just were kept back till the time of the end and day of visita- tion, and to the seed which was to come; so the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God, (Rom. 8-19,) and so the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. Rom. 8-21. Immortal Life——Redeemed From Among; ’ Men. _1 Cor. 15-53; Rev..14-4.. JESUS the ﬁrstborn among many brethren, and our pattern and waymark, brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, which teaches the life of the»body, soul and spirit, within which is to be the kingdom of God. 1 Cor. 3-16. Know ye not that ye are the temple of the Holy Ghost? (1 Cor. 6-19,) and that the kingdom is within you, (Luke 17-21,) calling those things that be not as though they were, and speaking of the elect and of the house of Israel. And so Jesus said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Therefore according to his promise before the world was, Jesus taught, and so he said to the disciples, It is not for you to know the times and seasons that the Lord hath put in his own power. Acts 1- . And why? Because the mysteries of the kingdom were sealed from both Jew and Gentile in their dispensations of time; and pertaining to the old world said, Thev are not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. Rom. 8-7. To them his grace was sufﬁcient and a free gift of grace witli- out works, i. e., for t eir souls, for all souls are mine saith the Lord. Ezek. 18-4. And Jesus said, The holy city shall be trodden under foot till the times of the Gentiles be fulﬁlled. Luke 21-24. The Holy City pertains to the life of the body of his elect, and through them and in them the Holy City will be established, (Rev. 21-2,) and the Sabbath millennium of rest be ushered in and death abolished. 2 Timothy. 1-1o. _ The World Was Made for Israel’s Sake. The Meek Shall Inherit the Earth. He Shall Reign With Them On the Earth. 2 Esdras (Apoc.) 7-10, 11; Matt. 5-5; Rev. 5-10. THEREFORE ‘the kingdoms of this world become the kingdoms of our Lord and his Christ. and to be an ever- lasting kingdom which shall not pass away. Dan. 4-34; 7-14. And he shall reign with them on the earth, (Rev. 5-10,) for the meek shall inherit the earth, (Matt. 5-5,) and the world was made for Israel’s sake, [2 Esd. (Ap.) 7-10, 11,] and the curse removed, and a restoration of the earth, and a full restitution of all things, and the kingdom turned over to God the‘ Father, and God will be all and in all. 1 Cor. 15-28. And so ‘Jesus prayed that they be not taken out of the world but kept from the evil. John 17-15. He taught that we pray, Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy’ n.ame.,thy kingdom come, thy will be done in earth as it was done inuheaven—showing the elect did his will in heaven, anﬂ now being sent must do it in earth; (Watt. -10;) for those whom he foreknew he did predestinate to be conformed’ to the image of his son, and who only hath immortalityx 1 Tim. 6-16. But the elect now being in mortal life, it says of them, This mortal shall put on immortality, ( 1 Cor. 15-53,) and be like him in his image and after his likeness, with a terrestrial body of ﬂesh and bone, (Gen. 1-26,) the temple of God; and as he said, Reach hither thy hands and feel, for a spirit hath not ﬂesh and bone as vou see me have. John 20-27. And for forty days he taught Gentiles. E 5iXTEEH'f‘l:*IlBi']l§}iffEf31fP i\iii§vTHcRE;\T10N and showed forthgthe kingdom of God within his temple, therefore became both Lord and Christ. Acts 2-36. And so the kingdoms of this world become the kingdom of our Lord and his Christ. Rev. .11-15. And this will be the Sabbath of rest that yet remaineth for the people of God, (Heb. 4-9,) when Satan will be bound a thousand years to deceive the nations no more. Rev. 20-2. And so it is written they shall beat their guns into plqwshares and learn war no more. Peace on earth and good will” to men! Luke 2-14. By not rightly dividing the Word of truth, (2 Tim. 2-15,) and mixing up the soul salvation with the life of the body, many are led to believe, the world is getting better; but look what the scriptures say in all of its teaching, that there will be a time of trouble such as never was, and as a snare shall come upon all that dwell upon nit cxzrth. Dan. 12-1. And as in the days of Noah and as in the days of Lot, so shall it be‘ in the coming of the Son of man. He comes as a thief in the night. But make no mistake in this. It says, You brethren are not in darkness that that day should come upon you as a thief in the night. 1 Thess. 5-4.» Because of the light of this living visitation they are not in darkness, and therefore will prepare and be prepared. Luke 1-17. And so it will be said, Come ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from before the foundation of the world. Matt. 25-34. Why Jesus said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel, it must be remembered that Israel was scattered in the days of old and given up till Zion travailed again; and Judah was only one of the sons of Jacob, and therefore the people known as Jews are the seed of the one, namely Judah; and the tribe of Benjamin remained with Judah until Jesus came, and then they split, and Paul said, I am of the seed of Abraham and of the tribe of Benjamin, and he became the apostle of the Rom. 11, 1-13. Now Jesus did not gather Israel, but he said, How oft would I have gathered them, as a hen gathereth her brood under her wings, and ye would not. And afterward Paul ~ said, If Jesus had given them rest, would he not have spoken of another day‘? Seeing they entered not into rest, there yet remaineth a sabbath of rest for the people of God. And so Paul said, Blindness in part happened to Israel until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in, (Rom. 11-25,) then the Lord would set his hand the second time to recover his people Israel, and will gather them from whithersoever they have been scattered; and said, I will sift the house of Israel among all nations as cdm is sifted in a sieve and not the least grain shall fall to the earth; (Amos 9-9;) and said, Two parts shall be cut off and die, viz., the natural world of Jew and Gentile, but a remnant shall be saved, and the third part shall remain therein. And in that day Israelishall be the third. Isa. '19-24. So to span the dispensations of time. And since the flood the Jewish dispensation, and since Jesus Christ, the Gentile dispensation or age, under the free gift of grace; and at their fulness as we have proven the third must be gathered, and will be snatched as brands from the burning pile, and with whom the kingdom shall be established, and the age of righteousness. ‘ The Promise Is, To Wit, the Redemption of the Body. Romans 8-23 IN spanning the dispensations of time from Adam’s fall, the six thousand years divided into three dispensations, or prophetic days of two thousand years each, making six thous- and years, and the seventh to be a thousand years sabbath‘ day of rest. And so the scriptures say a thousand years as one day, the Lord’s time, and He is Lord of the Sabbath. And there- fore to enter in with him must cease from our own works as God did from his. Heb. 4-1o. And if God created and rested on the seventh day how much more should we cease from our evil works, or the works of Adam, for in Adam all die, but in Christ shall all be made alive. The first Adam of the earth, earthy, and fell by transgression to return to earth from whence he was taken; so the latter Adam is a quickening spirit, the Lord from heaven, and to quicken our mortal body from mortal to immortality. 1 Cor. 15-53. And rest from the power of Satan, and the turmoil of the old world which is like the rolling sea, seeking rest and ﬁnding none. And the wages of sin is death, and the sting of death’ is sin. 1 Cor. 15-56. _ In receiving this great and most holy faith, see to it that you get hold of it through the word and by faith, and with ho other motive, and not that you must come to see if this place would suit, because it is by faith, through the VVord of this visitation, and not by sight concerning the natural sur- roundings and appearance. Jesus said not judge by outward appearance. Establish yourself upon sure foundation. More blessed are they who have not seen and yet believe. John 2o-29. Notwithstanding, our natural surroundings are beautiful, but this faith of life immortal is more beautiful, and the half has not been told. _, Nor does this beautiful faith admit or consist of outward demonstrations; nor hypocritical long faces, with long and loud prayers to be heard of men; nor drawing near with lips, and heart far from him. It is by fear- ing God and keeping his commandments. Jesus said, If you love me you will keep my commandnients, but the gift of God is eiernal life, through"Jesus Christ our Lord. Rom. 6--23. Therefore strive to enter in at the straight gate, for mu,‘,,. 51,311 strive and shall not be able, (Luke 13-24,) i. e., striving without the visitation with wisdom and knowledge of the truth of life immortal, (Wis. of S01. Ap. 8-17,) or miving in their own way and their own strength. Broad is the wav to destruction, and many go in thereat. But straight and narrow is the path that leadeth to life and a few there ‘be that ﬁnd it, and do his will. Jesus said, I came not to do mine 1 r U SI-IILOH’S MESSENGER OF WISDOM own will, but the will of him who sent me. And he said, As my Father hath sent me into the world, so send I you, which first signiﬁes, sent to this earth to do the will of him who sent him. And the spirits of the just and for this cause came into the world, that I might testify unto the truth. John 18-37. And therefore be mindful of that country from whence they came. Heb. 11-15. He sends his angels to gather his elect. Matt. 24-31. PRQPHECIES COQICERNING THE W The ’-Former Messengers .7oi:TThis Visitation Foretold in‘il?ropheciy, 1 the Great I War Amiing the*?Nations.

The multitude are like fatted calves preparing for the great slaughter. Flee to the mountains O Israel, ye are on the eve of a terrible war around you, such as has never been witnessed * before, since the foundation of the world. ' In the valley of Jehoshaphat the armies of“ the Kings and Emperors of Europe will form up in battle array, and the blood of the slain will reach even to the horses’ bridles, for it is the terrible dayifof the Lord——the great day of battle—the Lord himself williﬁbei in the battle, and the angels will pour out the vials of‘i'wrath-r in war! pestilence and disease and famine until they be ufferlyl consumed. But on that day shall the hands of Joshua the High Priest of the newihouse of Israel be upheld by the virgins of Israel on the mountain, “the Mount of Olives,” and Israel will prevail against all her enemies and rally around the tricolouriof faith, hope, and charity‘. In that day‘ there shall be great rejoicing in the Mount, great shouting and blow- ing of trumpets in Israel. Ser. _1, p. 172. x The house of Israel will be sought for when the vials of the wrath of God will be poured out upon the earth, and all nations gathered together in battle. When the fiends of war will be let loose and the valley of Jehoshaphat will open wide her jaws and the blood of the slain and wounded will flow in the valleys; for great and terrible will be the day of the Lord, which is now fast approaching. The world may cry out: Peace! peace! but there will be no-peace, but war! war! with all its miseries, pestilences, famines and diseases; nor will it be confined to Europe alone but the whole planet will be one scene of bloodshed. The father will be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against her mother, all engaged in national, civil, and religious strife. The eyes of the Gentiles will then be opened, when they shall see Israel dwelling on the Mount in peace and safety. Ser. 1, p. 203. When the crown is placed on the king’s head of ‘the earth, they swear to rule by those laws. Then if we be ruled by his laws, which rule the kings of the earth, can we be condemned‘? The king of all lands is Christ, the Almighty. The laws of ‘all lands will justify Israel. Israel cannot be condemned by them. We are commanded by that immortal spirit to submit to be ruled by the laws which rule the land we are in. Ser. 2, p. 88. Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Rom. 13-1. But the _voice of God will shortly be heard in the great battles of all nations. Amidst the roaring of artillery and clashing of arms, for his judgments are ready to descend, and the vials of the wrath of God are full to overﬂowing. Nations today are slumbering, trusting in the treacherous peace around them. Bi'it it is a peace under a pall which now overhangs this planet. It is the motionless lull before the storm.

He laid down his mortal life, I which was the blood shed upon the cross,’ arid took a greater = life in his body, which was life immortal, which saw not corruption and said: '1 am he who was dead and behold’ ‘I am alive for evermore.

And Jesus gave him leave, and so he made the examination and cried out: My 7 Lord and my God. John 20-28.

And no greater sign could he have foretold when he said: Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. And they, thinking he meant the temple of Jerusalem gity, said: Forty- six years building this temple, and wilt thou in three days raise it up’? But Jesus meant the temple of his body, and so they thought to destroy his temple, and cruciﬁed him, and so within three days he raised it up immortal and showed the greatest sign which could ever have been shown. And they seemed to believe less; and such unbelief reigns today—per- taining to the life of the body. And no greater truth has ever been taught, and still stands on record, that 144,000 of the elect shall be gathered and prepared for the great change from mortal to immortality, and ‘made like him. John 3rd chapter. , The law of life, light, and truth brings the fruits of the spirit; (Gal. 5-22;) and the law of sin and death brings condemnation, and the wages of sin is death, i. e., to the body, and the sting of death is-sin.~ 1 Cor. 15-56.

And this is the condemnation that light is conic into the world, that we might judge ourselves by‘ it, as it says, if we judge ourselves we shall not be judged, and if not it brings a greater condemnation, as Jesus said, Had I not told you of your evil you would have had no sin, for where there is no law there is no transgression. But, hé said, as I have told you of your evil your sins remain; and they hated him the more. John 15-22, 23, 24. And this is the condemnation that light has come into the world, and men love darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil. John 3-19. Christ Jesus, the light that shone in darkness, and the darkness coiiiprchended it not, and he\that doeth truth cometh to the light that his deeds be made manifest, that they are "wrought in God. John 3-21. The spirit of prophecyzind testimony of Jesus Christ teach the immortal life of the body, and for this cause came I into the world, that we might testify unto the truth. And Jesus said: I pray Father you take them not out of the world, but keep them from the evil. John 17-15. And said: I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the House of Israel; and all are written for us upon dvhom the end of the (old) world has come. His disciples were a sheep fold in ﬁgure, and to them he said: It is not for vou to know the times and seasons that the Lord has putdin his own power, and besides this he said: To sit upon my‘ right hand, and upon my left, in my kingdom, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father, and said: I have other sheep which are not of this fold, and I give unto them eternal life and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my I: hand. John 10-28, 29.- JEW, GENTILE AND ISRAEL 1 Cor. 10-32; Isa. 44-5. THE Jews claimed to believe in God, the Father, but raged with envy at the things that the Son did. The Father corrunendeth all judgment to His son, and into his hands gave all power, both in heaven and in earth. l\"Iatt. 28-18. And therefore this turned the Jews into judgment, for they condemned every thing that Jesus did, and ﬁnally con- demned him to death, and turned him over to the Gen- tiles to crucify him. l\Iatt. 20-18, 19. So it is written that they who receive him not are condemned already, and must bejudged because they have not judged themselves, and be- lieve a lie and be damned, because they would not believe the truth. 2 Thess. 2-11, 12. And so Jesus said of both Jews and Gentiles: The holy city shall be trampled under foot, till the times of the Gentiles be fulﬁlled. Luke 21-2 . And so blindness in part happened Israel until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in, (Rom. 11-25,) then the Lord would set his hand the second time to recover the remnant of his people, Israel, and in :1 time of trouble such as nﬁ\.'g1- was, no nor ever shall be. Dan. 12-1. And two parts shallbe cut off and die, and the third part shall be left therein. And in that day Israel shall be the third. Isa. 19-24. And sh-till reﬁne them as silver is reﬁned, and try them as gold is tried. Zech. 13-9. How can you believe’ which receive honor one of another, and seek not honor which cometh from God only? And to the disciples he said: You savor of things of men, and not of God.‘ Matt. 16-23. Seeking honor and praise of each other is like \v0rsl1ippin<-* false gods in the shape of corruptible men. And to whom? soever and to whatsoever ye ’ yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are, which is the devil. Q Christ is head of the church and he is the saviour of the body.

WE received mail, and were glad to hear from you again, . and to know everything is getting on ﬁne. Since writ- ing you last we have had some ﬁne meetings in Anderson; and found it to be one of the best towns we have been in. _We disposed of a large quantity of literature, and found many interested. We certainly stirred them up. Three fel- , lows on Monday, after our last meeting, came up and wanted I to know why it was we were setting forth before the people a false doctrine. We asked them in what way‘? One said we had made the statement that the same body would not rise again, and that we did_ not believe in the resurrection. So-we .told him to prove by the bible that the same body would rise , again; and by the crowd, that we did not preach the resurrec- tion. This he could not do, as every quotation he brought forth proved to thecontrary, and ﬁnally one of the fellows “with him claimed that he did not believe that the same body would rise again. So we got them divided; and a house divided cannot stafid. Paul says, Thou sowest not that body , that shall be, but God giveth it another body. It is sown a natural body, and raised a spiritual body. i Cor. 1 5-37, 38. Samuel, speaking of the‘ body once gone, to the grave, says, It — is as water spilt upon the ground that ’cannot be gathered up again. 2 Sam. 14-14. This fellow ﬁnally said. that we preached all would be saved. This proved a contradiction to his first statement; so then we proved that Christ was a saviour of all men, especially of them that believe. .1 Tim. 4-10. A big policeman, who had been at all of our meetings, was ad, to see us defeat him, so was the crowd. , We left for Castoria on Tuesday. There we found ’ a barracks’ of cavalry men. On account of the rain we -were not able to speak till Sunday afternoon, when We held one of the ﬁnest meetings that we have had for quite a while. We also had another ﬁne meeting on Monday. We had the whole town out to hear us, even the chief of, police, with several of his men. We also hadthe ﬁre department! out. They said if we did not put all th€ fire that Was in hell out, they would ﬁnish it up; so when we were through they claimed there was nothing left for them to do. We left there Tuesday for Charlotte, and the ﬁrst people ,' we met when We got oﬂ the train were two Israelites, Roxie We were, and Gordon. Their faces looked very familiar. certainly glad to see them, as we have ‘not seen many Israelites since vige left home. So, they having rooms and a permit _, I, W went up with them while they held their meeting. _ some ﬁne meetings since we have been here, aigreat many interested. We also meet many soldiers hCl'€“'_f1'O[.l1,l.tllCf‘n0Ttl1, who are very much interested, and have taken all the literature. Some have also been at our place. We expect to stay here till the middle of next week, then leave for Greensboro, N. C.

Of course we came out all right. We knew absolutely they couldn’t ﬁnd anything wrong in the article; and it didn’t matter what they did_ to us, they couldn’t harm us. It was just as we were packing up and leaving to catch the train, that the federal. deputy marshal came up and arrested us. He had a man with him, - and this fellow was underlining several places in the article. He marked all the first paragraph, then handed it to the ,marshal. He then took charge of our box and us, and took us around to the county jail. He had us there from 1.1::-.30 a. m. till nearly 6 p. m. In the meantime, he was reading it, sizing it up along with the federal judge, or commissioner, so we were told. Well about 5 o’clock he took us around to another place to be cross-questioned, and it happened that one f the commissioners had been up to the colony, and had met 0 >Ben'amin' and so was very much in our favor. He ymd, toold ourifaith and had a talk with you, and some of un fats thers As sodn as he saw our paper, and who it was, jtesglg to the marshal “You have made a mistake. These peoplﬂ ked how we stood in regard to the war, and if we em C 2:3 st it and so on—questions like that; all of which ;:ik::5:§::i satisfactorily. We happened to have an article the “Detroit Free Press.” sent us from home, taken from ‘ n» INGATHERING AND THE. SHILOH’S MESSENGER or" WISDOM They saw that, and the article amused them. You know it speaks well of our boys at camp. It says they are noncom- batants, but express deep love for their country, and do not object to being sworn into service. That ﬁnished the whole matter, as long as our boys do not object. We showed them their pictures in uniforms. They said, It is a puzzle what they can do with the boys. They ﬁnally apologized, and were very nice to us. VVe thanked the two judges. As we missed our train, we decided to stay and lecture here till Monday, and thought it would make a good impression; for the people all knew about it. They had it all around town we were arrested for spies, etc. And it turned out good that we stayed. Many came and asked us,how we got‘on. We spoke twice yesterday. We had such ﬁne interested crowds both times. The police were there too, also the federal judge who had been to the‘ colony. It was the best class of people who came to hear us. I enquired who the man was, with the marshal, who had us arrested, and who had underscored portions of our paper. Well, as usual, it was a preacher. Where he got the paper from was a puzzle we couldn’t ﬁnd out. This kind of trouble so continuously makes one nervous, although we are not the least afraid, for we know right will always prevail; and God’s Word is sure to protect His people. We took a good many subscriptions here; so good will come out of it. ’ At Miami, 3. man came up and enquired if we were Russellites. Isaid: Most decidedly not, and had nothing whatever to do with them. He said, Well I didn’t think you were, for you believe in war, don’t you‘? I said, Yes, I do; it is a fulﬁllment of scriptures and the outcome will be peace on earth and good will to men. Well, he said, “You have the right faith. I would not stand and listen to anyone against this war.” He took three of our books. A lot_ of people asked us to speak again which we hope to do, but it has rained all morning. , Well we will close, with love to you both. We remain, yours in the’ most holy faith, CHARLIE AND GLADYS. ' ?lf'¥¥"'£¥*¥‘¥‘¥*"*r’?l? Ontario, Calif. AFTER leaving San Diego we journeyed on to Escondido, where we stayed three days, as they had an ear for the truth, some becoming interested. One old bachelor said that he had be'en"_lookin’g for the truth. Some of them said they had heard some of the brothers who were through there two years ago. A doctorgwho had many questions to ask at ﬁrst, who had his own ideas on baptism, soon be- came interested, and he got the Book or Wisnoivr, and the next day he met ‘me up town, and said, “I have read your LITTLE BOOK. That is the best thing I ever read.” He asked us to call on and be came to all the meetings he could while we werethere. There were three that were‘vcry inuch interested. ‘ A Catholic woman came up ‘in the crowd, and said, "Don’t you believe that Jesus was the very God himself?” I said, Jesus cried’ out on the cross, to some one else, “My God! My God! Why hast thou forsaken me?” She said, “Don’t you believe that the virgin Mary gave birth to God our Saviour?” I said, Do you mean to tell me you think that the virgin Mary (the creature) gave birth to God (the Creator)? She said, “Yes.” I said, Just fancy your child giving birth to_you. This stunned her, while several in the crowd said it would be ridiculous for Mary to give birth to God. In that case Mary would have to be greater than God; and before lVIary’s time there was no God, if she had just given birth to him about two thousand years ago. }.Thcn she mentioned that Peter was the rock that the church was founded on." I said, What! Peter the rock‘? She said, “Yes.” I said,/Jesus said to Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savorest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men. Matt. 16-23. That would be a poor foundation to build a church on. And besides, Jesus said to Peter, “Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: but I have prayed for. thee, that thy faith _fail not: and when thou art con- verted, strengthen the brethren.” Luke 22-31, 32. So Peter was not the Rock. Christ was the Rock, and they drank of- that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ (not Peter). ~l Cor. io-4. 4 On our way to Redlands, we passed the new aviation plant, where they expect to be fitted up and commence to manufacture ﬁfteen airships all complete each day, employ- ing about 1, 500 men. It is located_ somewhere about "ten miles from Riverside. We stopped a week in Redlands. There are four Israelites there who seem to be very earnest. Brother V is an earnest worker. He spreads the Word, and has his bible and all ‘the little books on his shelf, in the most prominent place in his shop; and talks the faith to every one who will listen. Everybody knows him in Redlands, and the people there say that he has a great under- standing of the scriptures. A preacher in Colton, who had been informed that we were coming there last Friday night, said he was all armed with his bible, intending to give us a good thrashing; but we did not get there that’ evening, as we expected. Brother V from Redlands, cycled over there to hear us, and when he came on the street, there was this preacher as big as life; and he came up to Brother V , and said, “Arelyou the man that is going to preach here toniglit‘?” Brother said, No, but I have come over tothear the Israelite preacher. Then in a few minutes the preacher told brother are all right” and went on and told them of our place, I that he was going to show the people of Colton that the e . . Israelites are false prophets. VVhy, he said, They don’t believe in eternal hell 3 Brother V soon cleaned him up, and the preacher ran off. Brother told him that he was only young in the faith, and if the Israelite preacher was there, he would ‘you run off, we will all know who you are. Published at Benton Harbor, Michigan. U-S-N — have no show at all. So when we arrived at Colton, some children said, “We’ll go get the preacher.” So off they went about half a block to his house, and called him out. After a little while he came and stood by the fountain on the opposite side of the street; and there he stood for :1 Whllc till some one in the crowd noticed him, and they spoke up and said, “There is that preacher now.” Then they called him over to show us there was an eternal hell, as he had said he was going to show them. I called him, and said, Come over here and prove your eternal hell to this crowd. I’ll keep quiet till you read it out of the bible, where God [5 going to burn people eternally in hell, without end. Then I’ll talk for the same length of time. He yelled out that he was not going to cast his pearls before swine, and madefor his house as fast as he could. I said, Don’t rlin off, for it is written, Resist the devil, and he will flee’ from you. So if At this the crowd cheered, and he was gone. We held another meeting there at night, and a woman whom we visited while here before, at Riverside, heard we were going to be at Colton that night, and she said she heard it about two minutes before she and her husband left in the automobile. They came right straight over to the meeting. ' She was delighted to hear us again. They took some more literature. On Sunday, the 21st of April, about half past three in the afternoon we had quite an earthquake, while holding our meeting. The auto began to bounce up and down like as if three or four men had a hold of it; and the buildings began to shake. The people were all rushing out of their houses on to the street; and the crowd we were speaking to, all cleared into the middle of the street. An inﬁdel whom I had given a good setting down, also was away out in the middle of the street, white and trembling; while another man with a LITTLE Book in his hand, which he had gotten from us, exclaimed, “They won’t believe, so God is going to show them.” Since the earthquake, we drove through the cities of Hemet and San Jacinto. The business section was certainly laid low. We asked them, What building was that? pointing to one whole block which lay in a heap. We were answered . that it was ﬁve stores all piled in one heap; it sgms all the city is in ruins here and there. They had another-cartl'i- quake the morning we were there, about seven o’clock. he shook pretty severely for a while. And the day before yes- terday they had another bad earthquake further over, at Elcentro, Cal., breaking the windows and doing a lot of damage. It is fulﬁlling the words of Jesus, where he says, Nation shall rise up against nation, kingdom against king- dom; and there shall be earthquakes in divers places; pesti- lence and famines, etc. Matt. 24-7. [CONTINUED IN Aoovsr Miasss.\'oi:R.] War Fulfills Scripture HILE some of our preachers were preaching and showing that all who believe in death should go to war, some ofﬁcer of war came up and congratulated them, saying it was good. Pertaining to war, we foreknew and have before shown, that there would be a universal war, and these thing: still stand on record, shown in our publications long before the war broke out. And now pertaining to our faith and belief, which we held unchangeable, and the ingathering, long before the war; and we still hold the faith of life immortal, and for which great sacriﬁces stand a proof, and loyal to that which is sound and right. VVe do and are willing to do all we can for that which does not conflict with the faith we hold. and are not willing to do anything which makes :1 <leni:il of the faith we hold, which is the pure sound teachings of Jesus Christ, our Lord. This faith of immortal life given by a vis- itation to a few chosen elect, who ﬁnd the straight andinarrow path; and in which pathway there is no death. Prov. 12-28. Now as to the world, and pertaining to soul salvation after death, we believe that they should go to war, as war does not disannul soul salvation, as the soul salvation is most assuredly a free gift of grace without works. Eph. 2-8, 9. It being a free gift nothing can disannul it. Gal. 3. 13,18. The only difference, war gives you a quicker chance for heaven, as we commonly and often hear them sav that they are ready and are waiting to welcome death. So a good chance is now offered; and to die for your country is reckoned a good credit and :1 great glory. .Getting back to the subject of the great salvation, we understand the difference between the common salvation and the great salvation. Jude 3. The immortal life of body, soul and spirit is by faith proven by works. i Thess. 5-23. And as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead. James 2-20. There. fore to this little few, and for this glory, Jesus said: I pray Father you_take them not out of the world but keep them from the evil. John 17-15. And loyalty and patriotism is to be true and upright to both God and man; and if not [oval and true to God, how could they be to man? for thc fu-St ind greatest command is to love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, soul. mind and strength and this takes in body, soul and spirit. Matt. 22-37. The next is like unto it, to love thy neighbor as thyself. And according to the parable of the good Samaritan, Jesus, who taught and brought life and ml. ' mortality to light through the gospel is the best and greatest neighbor of mankind, the saviour of the world. \ JERUSALEM, 3RD MONTH SlX"l‘EEi\"l‘H YEAR OF ’l‘Hl<.‘ NEVV CREATION W’ . .,,i..' .. §!9E!t€5i€$Eii£l¥i§t¥t§!.‘.5l2§l¥-£i§t‘!iE‘»‘5'i§t¥i¥$33553; AUSTRALIA !$lE$¥9%£!l?§£E3¥>!2?‘:’LE'>‘:.‘5‘.¥",¥‘)5ii§!¥‘.E§!¥L¥ as as léé HEADQUARTERS: CABARITA, SYDNEY, New SOUTH VVALES.

HILST traveling from Melbourne to Bendigo, a clergy- man who shared the same carriage with us, became curious to know who we were. He said, Are you touring Victoria? I said, Yes. He asked, VVhat is your mission‘? We told him we were seeking the lost sheep of the house of Israel, as we had a message which would sift them from among all nations, and, gather them together, and show.them the laws to keep, whereby they could gain the prize of life immortal, which God promised to their forefathers. He said, I am one of the lost sheep, and I know many more. I said, If you are, you will know his voice, and your body will never perish; for Jesus said, I give unto them eternal life. Oh, he said, it ' \ does not matter about this old body, it will crumble to dust, andjl will get a new body-—a gloriﬁed body in resurrection; and we all have to die. VVe asked him if he believed what Jesus said. He replied, Oh yes! Well then, I said, Jesus said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, if a man will keep my sayings he shall never see death. Believest thou this? He said, Oh yes, my soul will never die. ,VVell then, I said, you think different to the Jews in Jesus’ day, as they well under- stood_Jesus had reference to the body, for they spoke of Abraham and the prophets being dead, and they verily be- lieved their souls were saved. And furthermore all souls are mine, saith the Lord. Ezek. 18-4. And there was no curse on the soul until the law of Moses came, but upon the body —that it should return to dust, through sin. Jesus tasted death for every man. The first death is on man’s body; and the second death is on the unrepented soul, which lives not again until a thousand years have expired, and then comes the ﬁnal resurrection, when all will praise God for his wondrous love, in giving his first begotten son as a sacriﬁce for the sins of the whole world. We said, You teach soul salvation. He said, I do not like that expression “Soul salvation.” I said, Did yoiv not say it does not matter so long as your soul is saved? and does not Jude speak of the common (or soul) salvation, and the great salvation, to wit, the redemption of the body‘? And Paul also speaks of the common faith and the great faith——the common faith being for the soul salvation, and the great faith is that our whole spirit, soul and body be preserved blameless unto the 7| coming of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ. A lady who had been listening to the argument I had with the minister became quite interested in Israel’s faith, as we preached a God of love. She said, You have the truth. VVe explained that in resurrection they are neither male nor female, and so could not be sons and daughters, Or the bride of Christ, as a bride has a body of ﬂesh and bone —and so had Jesus, who is the ﬁrstborn of many brethren who will be alive at his coming. Furthermore, God says, I will gather my people Israel (not angels), and I will be their God, and I will give them the earth for their inheritance, as it was made for Israel’s sake. So we wish to remain and be here after, that we might reign with Christ on earth; and'so we have no desire to ﬂy away to an unknown region, which they say is up above, but rather wait for Christ’s kingdo to come, that his prayer be fulﬁlled: “Thy kingdom come’ ——which will bring heaven to earth, paradise Wlll be restored, and death overcome, and all tears wiped from all races, sor- row and sighing shall ﬂee away, and the knowledge of God shall cover the earth as the waters cover the sea; for all will know Him from the least unto the greatest. We Wlll then have peace on earth and good will’ to all mankind; Satan will be bound for one thousand years, by the great chain of truth, composed of 144,000 links which are living bones and livelvistones of the body of Christ. ’\Vith love to all our sisters and brothers, who are walk- ing in the footsteps of Jesus. yours ever in the hope of im-V . mortality, \ GEORGE AND JENNIE.

SI-lILOH’S MESSENGER or WISDOM A. FEW if KEYS To UNLOCK SEALED SCRIPTURES KEYS GIVEN IN LARGE TYPE THE scriptures convey a three-fold meaning, and yea seven- fold doctrine. The old world from the days of Adam t0 the time of the end, six days of a thousand years each, was determined for the Adamic world, less the shortened time, which is for the elect’s sake, i. e., the shortened time in which the elect spirits of the just shall be gathered and prepared for the new world to come. And so it is written,‘ I Will shorten the time for the elect’s sake, or no ﬂesh would be saved, but for the elect’s sake I shorten the time. And so it is written. that. God declared the end from the beginning, (Isa. 46-10,) and. Calleth those things which be not as though they were. Rom 447- And. The thing which has been shall be, (Eccl. I-9) and, All are written for us upon whom the end has come, 1. Cor. 10-1 1. These are keys. There was a sabbath millennium day of rest of a thousand years in which God did rest. Gen. 2-3. Therefore another key, that. One day is with the Lord as a thousand years. 2 Pet. 3-8. And he is Lord of the sabbath and who finished his work of creation and rested, and the thing which has been shall be again, and, God requireth the thing ispast, Eccl. 3-15. The paradisical laws were broken, and the fallen angels together with Adam and Eve by transgression fell, and brought sin and death’ up- on the Adamic world. ~ And in the duration and conserva- Esd. 8-52, and death abolished. 2 Tim. 1-10. The six thou- sand years divided into three parts, a dispensation of two thousand years each; the antediluvian world before the ﬂood and in which Enoch the Seventh from Adam was redeemed from the effects of the fall and God took him that he might not see death. And further down the line sin waxed gross, and the flood came and swept them all. away, an ensample for them who would afterwards live ungodly. 2 Pet. 2-6. Then the second age or prophetic day, dispensation of two thousand years, and Jesus came, and therefore it says, After two days I will revive the hope of Israel, and in tl'i'e’third day I will raise them up, and they shall live in my sight. Hos. 6-2. Before the ﬂood one prophetic day or dispensation of two thousand years, and from Abraham to Jesus a prophetic day, and Jesus came. and revived the hope of Israel. Hos. 6-2. ' . After he showed himself immortal to the two who walked with him on their way to Emmaus, and knew him not, while he as a stranger, expounded the scriptures to them concerning himself. And their hearts burned within them, but knowing him not, yet they said, Besides this is the third day since all these things happened concerning his cruciﬁxion and resurrection. And they said, We hoped that this was he who was to redeem Israel. Luke 24-21. I make mention of this circumstance brieﬂy to show the three days here were, in a sense, typical of the three prophetic days, when he would come the second time without sin unto salvation to them who look for him, i. e., through the Word, and not by gazing into the skies. And their hope was revived, but Jesus did not gather Israel. He said, How oft would I have gathered you, but ye would not. l\"Iatt. 23-37. And Paul afterwards said, Had Jesus given them rest, would he not have afterwards spoken of another day‘? Seeing they entered not into his rest, there yet remaineth a sabbath of rest for the people of God. Heb. 4-9. Therefore during the third prophetic day, Gentile time, he made the free gift of grace, a way so plain the wayfaring man though a fool may not err therein. Isa. 35-8. The Holy City to be trampled under foot until the times of the Gentiles be fulﬁlled; (Luke 21-24;) then the Lord would set his hand the second time to recover (and redeem) his people, Israel, (Isa. 11-11,) and restore Eden’s paradise; the meek to inherit the earth, and he shall reign with them on the earth. Rev. 5-10. Now as we have outlined the times and the seasons, and the mystery to be made known, (1 Thess. 5-1,) I wish to brieﬂy show the three classes of people, viz., the Jews, the Gentiles and Israel. And so it says, Give none offence to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the Church of God. 1 Cor. 10-32. So concerning these in their dispensatioiis of time, it says, Two parts shall be cut off and die, and the third part shall be left therein; and I will reﬁne them as silver is reﬁned, and try them as gold istried, and in that day Israel shall be the third, (Isa. 19-24,) who will be given thﬂ seven- fold doctrine by the seven spirits of God. And as shown in the seven colors of the rainbow, the token of «the covenant of life immortal, and which says, I will no more destroy all ﬂesh. Gen. 9-15. He shortens the time, and will save ﬂesh and bone, to be the temple of God—lively stones, and living bones of the great immortal city, Christ head of the church and saviour of the body. Eph. 5-23. Christ Jesus, the only be- gotten son, and the ﬁrstborn among many brethren. Rom. 8-29. Paul speaks of them to come on this wise: The earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. Rom. 8-19.

In the true , meaning of that quotation might be difficult to understand, until you understand the! true meaning of the sheep of the ~ true Shepherd. Jesus said, My sheep know my voice, and a stranger they will not follow. John 10-5; Jesus wore long hair and wore,_beard, and bein a shepherd ‘of his sheep, and , 3 their pattern and waymark, it follows that his sheep wear long hair and beard also. And they know his voice, or Spirit of truth, Spirit of prophecy, which is the testimony of ‘Jesus Christ, and to receive not him, i. e., this little child whom I: send in my name, they receive not me. Matt. 18- .Notwi.th-4 standing this, it must be remembered, goats are a similar thing ‘ to sheep, and if wolves put ‘on sheep’s clothing, they would appear somewhat similar, in order to catchithe sheep e_as_y, ii e., by this they deceive the sheep. Therefore try the $p1l'lI‘.5I» to see whether they be of God or not. 1 John 4-,1. And" as .God sends his Messenger of his covenant and standard ’ bearer, he must bear the testimony of Jesus Christ, and be in harmony with him, as he said, I and my Father are one; and I in you and you in me, etc. John 10-30. , And in this message of life and ingathering thereto, you must rightly divide the word of truth lest you could not ' discern between a sheep and a goat, nor between Christ and antichrist. And remember the scriptures plainly speak of antichrist who go out from us and work in opposition. 1\ John 2-18, 19. Such are now in operation and opposition, and work by transformation and in reprobation, deceiving and being deceived, or ratherdeceiving themselves in trying ' to deceive others. Therefore we feel it our duty to warn ' you, and feel that it is fair and just to you to do so. They» seem to be publishing and promising you liberty,‘ while the ‘ themselves are in the bondage of corruption and the gal ‘Uf ‘bitterness. Acts 8-23. The House of David are Wellge tablished on the Rock by the truth, unmovable and un- shaken, ‘and therefore abide for ever. And the ingathering is going on according to the scriptures. Matt. 25-31,3-2‘. The lust of the eye, and pride of life, and all these things, shall pass away, but he that doeth the will of my "Father shall abide for ever, and he shall not pass away; (1 John’ ' 2—17;) for he says, He will not only once more shake the earth, but also heaven, that the things which are shaken might remain.

SABBATH ’ DAYS A TYPE or BETTER THINGS ~'ro COME. MARK 1-8; COL. 2-16, 17. JESUS, himself baptized not, but his disciples. Thev — were commanded to baptize; and why? The scriptures show very plainly that baptism is unto death. John bap- tised with water, closing the second dispensation, and baptizing into death; and Jesus opened the new and third dispensation, who, as it was said, will baptize with the Holy Ghost and with fire. Notwithstanding Jesus was baptized; and’ why? Because he was also to be cruciﬁed unto death, and to make the atonement, a free gift for the soul; and therefore he had two baptisms, one for the dead, and one for the living unto immortal life. And therefore he became the ﬁrstfruits of them that slept, (1 Cor. 15-20,) as his soul was poured out unto death. Isa. 53-12. The water soul life separated from the blood on the cr0ss——the water which ﬂowed from .his side; and being separated from the blood, it was quickened by his spiritiwith which, i. e., his spiritual ‘soul body went and preached to the spirits in prison, who had died in disobedience wliile the long- suifering of God waited in the days of Noah. As the soul salvation had not been preached, nor was the atonement yet made before the ﬂood, notwithstanding he was as a lamb slain from before the foundation of the world, in God’s plan, as it is written: Shall I give my firstborn for my transgres- sion, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? Adam and the Adarnic world was only called living soul, for which 7 the atonementpwas made. Adain blamed God for giving him the woman, and God took it to make it good in the fruit of his body. As Jesus his son was the body, and the blood received from the woman, the fruit of his body, had'to be given up for the sin of his soul, which was Adam and Eve. Therefore Jesus became the ﬁrstfruits of them that slept by the resurrectionof his soul, and the real fruit of the soul, including aliens, firstfruits of them that slept, who will . also come in resurrection as angels, and his body for the living, ﬁrst begotten and ﬁrstborn among many brethren, and sons of God who »should afterwards be revealed. And he with his spiritual body preached to the spirits from before the ‘ ﬂood, that they might be judged in spirit according to men .in the ﬂesh. And they were all baptized into death at the ﬂood. And it is also written of the Gentile age or this 1 third dispensation, being under the free gift, the atonement. It says: As many as are baptized into Jesus Christ are _ baptized into his death, ( Rom. 6-3,) and denoting a spiritual resurrection, like unto the angels. But his life is for the living, and the baptism of the holy spirit and of ﬁre, (Matt. 3-11,) unto life immortal. . - He Cometh the Second: Time Without Sin - Unto Salvation. Heb. 9-28. F the soul of Jesus had not risen on the cross as before described, then he could not have beeii the firstfruits of them that slept. Why‘? Because at the time of his cruci- ﬁxion many bodies of the saints arose, and therefore of a necessity the soul of Jesus had to rise ﬁrst, and so it did. He poured out his soul unto death, which was the water from his side, and quickened by the spirit, and his body of ﬂesh and bone arose immortal near three days afterwards. Nor did his soul nor body go to heaven at his death, as many claim, for his soul, quickened by the spirit, went in spirit and _ preached to the disobedient spirits in prison who had died in »' disobedience while the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah.- Within three days Christ raised the body, and so he showed two bodies: a spiritual body, with which he Said: Touch me not, I have not yet ascended; and it plainly speaks of him appearing in another form ; and he also said: I have not yet ascended to my God and to your God. Therefore to ascend from the cross to meet the thief in heaven as commonly taught is knocked out completely. Notwithstanding, the repented thief said: Lord remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. Note the word gozng- was not used but day shalt thou be with me in paradise, having reference to a prophetic day or dispensation of two thousand years each, . when he at the appointed time of the end referred to ‘by all the scriptures, that he would come the second time without sin unto salvation. To them who look for him he would come into his kingdom; and within this prophCt_lC day the, ‘Chm’ rection would also take place of both the just and 11n_]L1St,.[0 be judged among that great innumerable host. The thief would be seen in paradise with angel, celestial, spiritual body, likeunto the angels. Jesus being a light to lighten the Gentiles for soul salvation, a free gift of grace, he is 3150 thﬁ 10 of his people, Israel, and to be glorified in them, and igheiiy bodies become the temple of God, made like him. Let No Man Judge You In Meats and Drink Or In Sabbath Days. Col. 2-16, 17- THEREFORE in living reality there is but one Lord, one faith, one baptism. Water baptism therefore is but a Fig- nie, like many things of the visible creation show forth the invisible, even the eternal power and godhead, and so per- taining to types and shadows of better things to come. So let ins seek for the better things in living real substance, and ‘- sabbath day of rest to which all the scriptures point since " the fall, who by transgression broke the paradisical law and fell, from the sabbath of rest, which was a sabbath day of when thou comes! into- thy kingdom. And Jesus said: This, SH1LOH’S MESSENGER OF WISDOM a tliousand years. Rev. 20-4. And :’-o it l:~ written: If Jesus (in his day) had given thcrii rest. would he not after- wards l’l'.1\'€ spoken of another d:1_\"?

And so the Lord of .<;ibb;i.'h c-izncrh without sin unto Szilvation. Therefore he must lT.l\t‘ :1 pi'cp:1reil people for a prepared siilibzitli day of rest. 'l licrcforc let us cease from our works as God did froni his. and enter in with him into that seventh day of thousand years reign with him on the earth, during which time Satan, the old red dragon, called the devil, shall be bound :1 thousand years to deceive the nations no more. All tears wiped off all faces and there shall be no more sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more death, and the meek shall inherit the earth and the deserts shall bloom in roses, and instead of the briler shall grow up the myrtle tree, and the earth shall yield her seven fold. And so to this end Christ came to abolish death and to destroy him who had power of death which is the devil. Heb. 2-14.- CHERUBIMS AT THE GATES WITH FLAMING SWORDS\ TO TURN EVERY WAY TO KEEP THE , WAY OF “THE TREE OF LIFE Genesis 3-24. T is well known by all the world that life is a warfare. i. e., the life of the old world; and it may be noticed that there has been war in ail the world sinceithe day the fallen angels rebelled, and since Adam and Eve were driven from the garden, and cherubims placed with ﬂaming swords to turn every way to keep the way of the tree of life. And yet ‘the promise is held out: To him that ovelcometh shall I give to eat of the tree of life. Rev. 2-7. And even to this attainment there is war, and battle after battle to be fought, for the promise of life is to the overcomer. And to him that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved. And he says: I will be with you in the six troubles, and in the seventh I will not forsake you. Job 5-19. And seven overcoming promises given in Revelation. Rev. 2nd and 3rd chapters. To him that overcsmeth will I give to eat of the hidden manna hid in the midst of the paradise of God. Rev. 2-17. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit down with me on my throne, as I have overcome and am set down with my Father in his throne. Rev. 3-21. And to attain unto the promises must crucify the old man with its affections and lusts. Gal. 5-24. , Notwithstanding all these things, I wish to point out the fact that the soul salvation is a free gift, of grace with- out works, lest any man should boast, (Eph. 2-9,) and the promise which is, to wit, the redemption of our body, (Rom. 8-23,) for these promises are to the elect, who will do the Works, which is keeping the commandments of God and hav- ing the faith of Jesus Christ. Rev. 14-12. And so he said, The works that I do shall ye do also, and greater works than these shall ye do. John 14-12. And to be made like Him, your vile body changed and fashioned likeunto his glorious body, immortal. .And so it is written: This mortal shall put on immortality. 1 Cor. 15-53. These works do not make to none effect the free gift of grace, and therefore we must not confound works with a free gift, because works are for the life of the body, while the free gift is for soul salva- tion after death, that their souls may be raised in resurrec- tion, spiritual or celestial glory like unto the angels, and who are to be made equal to angels, etc. Therefore pertaining to war, it does not interfere with soul salvation, nor make to none effect the free gift of grace by the atonement. The atonement was made a free gift of grace for all souls, (Rom. 5-18,) and nothing can disannul it. But, for the greater prize, which is the promise of life of body, soul and spirit to be redeemed from among men, (Rev. 14-4,) and in whom the kingdom will be established on earth. and swords beat into plowshares and learn war no more. and a universal peace on earth and good will to men, and all tears wiped off all faces, and therc shall be no more sorrow, nor crying, neither shall .there be any more death. Rev. 21-4. And then will that scripture have its accomplish- ment that Je.-iiis came to abolish death and to destroy him who had power of death which is the devil, the old red dragon boiindii thou.-arid years to deceive the nations no more. Rev. 2o-3. Before this can be uniycrsally established, there rriust of a necessity be war in all the world according to propheticzil scripture. Aiid Jesus himself set forth that there should he kingdom against kingdom, and nation against nation, and even from house to house, and that there shall be a time of trouble such as never was, no, nor ever shrill be. Dan. 12-1. The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth under- standing unto the simple. Psa. 119-130. 5! 1! 35 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined. Isa. 9-2. 1 WHY WE WEAR LONG 1i£i’i“i't OVV while we give 11 few brief scriptiiral reiisoiis, we wish it uiidcrstood we do not try to iiiipose it upon either Jew or Gentile. In the first place. long hair is for an lsriiclitc, who believes and understands the true teachings of Jesus, who is our pattern and waymark. They Well, urlderstand he wore long hair and beard untrimmed. as no tool shall come upon the temple, and that the temple is destined to be the temple of God, to be kept undefiled, that it may not be destroyed. 1 Cor. 3-17. Jesus kept his Nazarite law, and never at any time transgressed his Father’s command. Luke- 15-29. And therefore his temple, i. e., his body, never saw corruption. He was made after the power of an endless life, therefore would not have died a natural death; and he said, No man taketh my life (i. e. his mortal life) from me, that he lay it down and took it up again, (John 10-17,) and showed it alive immortal, and said: Reach hither thy hands and feel, for a spirit hath not flesh and bone as you see me have. Luke 24-39. And with the temple of ﬂesh and bone, less the blood, for 40 days, teaching and showing forth the kingdom of God in his temple. Concerning the prophets and the Psalmist David, they saw corruption, but this man saw not corruption; (Acts 13-36, 37 ;) and he being the firstborn among many brethren, the pattern and waymark of these brethren, the sons of God who would afterwards be revealed. Rom. 8-19;, Gal. 3- 23. And as to these his elect, they must do the works that he did, and greater works than these shall they do. John 14.-12. Therefore he was the only begotten and ﬁrstbornson, the pattern and waymark for these who will also wear their hair as he did, not having a tool upon the temple to mar it, it being a divine mark outwardly, subject to the inward cleans- ing, as they do the works of him according to his Word, he (bringing life and immortality to light through the gospel, and to be made like him when he comes, (2 Tim. 1-10,) and by him become subject to the law of God, Vegetarians from the beginning, even in the first age before the ﬂood, and after the millennium sabbath of rest of a thousand years. During the period of the paradisical age there was no ﬂesh eating, no killing, till after the trans- gression, for which death came into the world. And even since the fall the living oracle of God forbids ﬂesh eating, handed down more particularly for the elect, for this the time of the end and day of visitation, (1 Pet. 2-12,) in preparing our bodies for life immortal. Luke 1-17. Notwithstanding the fallen world kill and eat ﬂesh, make graves of their stomachs. And after the ﬂood it says, speaking of a time to come, that he that killeth an ox shall be as if he slew a main. Isa. 66-3. As clear as the scriptures are upon this subject, yet like the mysteries of the scriptures was sealed from the fallen world, to be unsealed to his elect spirits of the just in this the day of visitation. Yet the question is often asked: Why do you not eat meat? We ask: Why do you eat it, since there is but about one eighth of the population of the world who eat meat. We believe in the life of the body; and the scripture says, Meats for the belly and belly for meats; but l—-:_ g:( Q both shall be destroyed. 1 Cor. . A . , R 6-13. HE THAT OVERCOMETH SHALL I GIVE TO EAT OF TREE OF LIFE Revelation 2-7. WISDOM preserved the first formed father of the world, and brought him up out of his fall. Wisdom of Solomon (Apoc.) 1o-1. Notwithstanding through trans- gression was driven from the garden, under the sentence of death, within a day or a thousand years, to return to dust from whence he was taken. And to Eve, being deceived was in the transgression. it was said: For this cause, in your conception, you Shall bring forth children in sorrow. and sorrow shall be multiplied. Gen. 3-16, And the whole creation groan and travail in pain together until now; and even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. Rom: S-23. Adam and Eve driven from the garden, and cherubims placed‘ with ﬂaming swords, to turn every way to keep the tree of life (sealed), (Gen. 3-24,) until the Seed, spirits of the just, should come to whom the promise of life was made, who will overcome the world, the devil and the ﬂesh.

GOD has said, I will give you a mouth and wisdom, that all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. Now then, this is a proof that it is He that speaketh, and not man; therefore Israel speak in the spirit and demon- stration of power—not as the Scribes and Pharisees, but like Jesus: and by the same Spirit of truth they confound the wis- dom of the wise who contend for the doctrines of sects and commandments of men, to be heard of their much speaking in loud and long prayers of flowery orations. Prayer that is acceptable unto God must proceed from the heart; and yet God will answer according to the heart, ‘as has been shown by ensamples in times gone by. Jesus said, \Vhcn you pray, enter into the closet, viz., the heart, and there pray in secret, and he will reward you openly. But will a righteous man pray for temporal blessings. or for spiritual blessings, wisdom and understanding‘? Pray to be kept from the evil. Jesus himself prayed that they be taken not out of the world but kept from the evil. Paul also prayed that the God of peace sanctify you wholly; and that your whole spirit, soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus taught his disciples to pray for the kingdom to comc—not die and go off to some unknown place; but when you pray, pray, Th)’ kingdom come, thy will be done in earth, as it is done in heaven. Matt. 6-IO. There Was War In Heaven—Michael and His Angels Fought Against the Dragon; and the Dragon Fought and His Angels, and Prevailed Not. Revelation 12, 7-9. Hl<‘\' was his will done in licavcn‘? and how‘? that we maﬁ ray for the same in earth.

As it is written, Those whom I foreknew I did predestinate to be conformed to the image of my Son; who was the head archangel-—-Michael, the spirit of Jesus, who fought as head general against the dragon and his angels who prevailed not, but were cast from heaven to earth. It was then that the morning stars sang together and the sons of God shouted for joy. But it was woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of him who hath come down unto you having great wrath, for he knoweth he hath but 3.’ short time, i. e., till he shall be/cast from the earth (Israel) as he was cast from heaven; as it is written, Thou profane and wicked prince of Israel, thy days have come when iniquity shall have an. end; remove the diadem, take oﬂ the crown, and give it to Him whose right it is to reign——Jcsus, King of kings and Lord of lords; Michael being his'spirit, into whose hands was given all power both in heaven and in earth to put down all power, (i. e., all other which comes from Satan,) andthen turn the kingdom over to God, and God shall’ be all in all. Satan (Lucifer) was a choice cherub until iniquity was found in him-——w'hich was rebellion. He being anointed with brightness, it exalted him above the Most High. So it is written, He that exalteth himself shall be abased. God gave power to Michael because of obedience, to subdue him; therefore there was war in heaven—.\Iichacl and his angels fought against the dragon and his angels, and the dragon prevailed not. And so it is written, The thing that has been is the thing that shall be, and God requireth the thing which is past. Therefore as the dragon was cast from heaven to the earth he drew the third part of the stars with his tale, i. e., he deceived them by his tale of subtility; and as Luci- fer was called son of the morning, va bright star, by reason of his brightness, so also these stars deceived by him were spirits of the anointing of Lucifer. He drew them to the earth, now to war with him in the earth against Michael in the person of Jesus Christ. Therefore all spirits stand in earth as they stood in heaven; and as the dragon drew them from their first estate, deceived by Lucifer, so also they are deceived by him in earth, and he drags them down to the grave. Therefore he is called the dragon. Yet he is given many names in the scripture~—first, Lucifer, son of the morning; a choice cherub“:-‘ :1 L‘ , I ,»_:w_ » (which means a spirit) till iniquity was found in him. He is called‘ that old serpent, the devil. Why‘? Because of his subtility; a serpent being a figure‘. Because of what God pronounced upon him in the garden of Eden, when he en- tered and deceived Eve in her innoceney by his subtility, did not God say, Because of this thou shalt crawl upon thy belly-all the days of thy life, and dust sh-alt thou eat‘? i. e., heis of that decomposing .power by which the body of man who sins is destroyed, decomposed and returns to the dust, and becomes the serpent’s meat. stand this? for he said -to them who had sinned, Turn such an one over to Satan for the destruction of the ﬂesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus; (1 ‘_ Cor. 5-5 ;)—proving this to be the office work of Satan. God Made Not Death; But Through Envy. of the Devil Came Death Into the World. Wis. of S01. (Apoc.) 1-13; 2-24. T I the devil came death into the world; and he that holdeth with him on that side shall surely ﬁnd it. It is also written, As heat consumes snow, so does the grave those that sin, etc. As it says, The visible things of the creation show forth the invisible, therefore the serpent was made a ﬁgure of Satan, who crawls upon his belly downward all the days of his life; his days being numbered. He is of a cold, clammy nature, as that of death-—full of poison which produces death. Hate is embodied in the snake; but love is embodied in the dove, which is harmless——a perfect em- blem of innocency; with wings to raise above the earth— very contrariwise to that of the serpent. It is said by many that it was a natural serpent that beguiled Eve. But ,-we would ask, What is there in a serpent that .would be enticing to a female? Would she not have ﬂed from its presence? How is it today in such cases? And, besides all this, did she not conceive in the act of the fall and bring forth the first- fruits of the crime, whose name was Cain? and did not God point to the crime and say, For this cause in thy conception thog‘sha'lt ‘bring forth children _in sorrow, and sorrow shall l3 multiplied‘? And Jesus said, Did not an enemy sow tares in the field? which was the devil. He also said to those who were persecuting him, Ye are of your father the devil, and of his works will you do.

Then once more I beheld the villages. towns and cities springing up where they had been before, while the bright angel planted the azure staiidard he had brought in the midst of them, and cried in a loud voice to the inh;ib¢ itants: ‘While the stars remain, and the heavens send down dews upon the earth, so long shall the Republic last." and taking from his brow the crown on which still blazed the word Union, he placed it upon the standard, while all the people kneeling down said, Amen! “The scene instantly began to fade and dissolve, and I C at last saw nothing but the rising, curling, white vapor I -had first beheld. This also disappearing I found myself once more gazing upon my mysterious visitor, who in that same mysterious voice I had heard before, said: ‘Son of the Repub- lic, what you have seen is thus interpreted:—Three perils will come upon this Republic; the ‘most fearful is the third, passing which, the whole world united shall never be able to prevail against her. Let every child of the Republic learn to live for his God, the land and the Union.!.’ “With these words the ﬁgure vanished. . I started from my seat, and felt that I had been shown the birth,_ progress and destiny of the Republic of the United. States. In Union she will have strength, in disunion her destruction.” “Such my friend,”-concluded my venerable narrator, “were the words I heard from Washington’s own lips, and America will do well to proﬁt by them. Let her iremember ‘ that in union she has her strength, in disunion her destruc- ‘ n . tion. WEsLi~:v BRADSHAW. WARNING! w @ ‘BEWARE of imposters who go out from us,. that it might \ be made manifest that they are not of us. In the true meaning of that quotationimight be difﬁcult to understand, until/you understand the true meaning of the sheep of the true Shepherd. Jesus said, My sheep know my voice, and a stranger they will not follow. John 10-5. Jesus wore long hair and wore beard, and being a shepherd of his sheep, and their pattern and waymark, it follows diat his sheep wear long hair and beard also. And they know his voice, or Spirit of truth, Spirit of prophecy, which is the testimony of Jesus Christ, and to receive not him, i. e., this little child whorri I send in my name, they receive not me. Matt. 18- 5. Notwith- standing this, it must be remembered, goats are a similar thing to sheep, and if wolves put on sheep’s clothing, they would appear somewhat similar, in order to catch the sheep easy, vi. e., by this they deceive the sheep. Therefore try the spirits to see whether they be of God or not. 1 John 4-1. And as God sends his Messenger of his covenant and standard bearer, he must bear the testimony of Jesus Christ, and be in harmony with’ him, as he said, I and my Father are one; and I in you and you in me, etc. John 10-30. And in this message of life and ingathering thereto, you must rightly divide the word of truth lest you could not discern between a sheep and 21 goat, nor between Christ and antichrist. And remember the scriptures plainly speak of antichrist who go out from us and work in opposition. 1 John 2-18, 19. Such are now in operatibn and opposition, and work by transformation and in reprobation, deceiving and being deceived, or rather deceiving themselves in trying to deceive others. Therefore we feel it our duty to warn you, and feel that it is fair and just to you to do so.‘ They seem to be publishing and promising you liberty, while they themselves are in the bondage of corruption and the gall of bitterness. Acts 8-23. The House of David are well es- ’tablished on the Rock by the truth, unmovable and un- shaken, and therefore abide for ever. And the ingathering is going on according to the scriptures. Matt. 25-31,32. The lust of the eye, and pride of life, and all these things shall pass away, but he that doeth the will of my Father shall abide for ever, and he shall not pass away; (1 John 2-17;) for he says, He will not only once more shake the earth, but also heaven, that the things which are shaken might be removed, and the things which cannot be shaken might remain. Heb. 12-27. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and ﬁnd pasture. John 10-9. 1! 5! 1! And now let me exhort you, my chi1dren,.to love righteousness, and to walk in it; for the paths of righteous- ness are worthy of acceptation; but the paths of iniquity I all suddenly fail, and be diminished. Enoch 93-1. Pubiialied at Benton Harbor, Michigan, u.s.A. SEEK _l_’V_ISDOM SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND ALL THINGS SHALL BE ADDED UN TO YOU. Matt. 6-33. ENOCHS answer was rightly given, that he was desirous of instruction, and to understand, as it follows in scriptures: Seek wisdom. And in those original days, WlS€l0IT1 W51" forth, and ﬁnding no habitation returned from whence it crime and dwelt with the sons of God who did not rebel; and it may be noticed, Enoch went also and learned wisdom from the sons of God, and often returned until his ﬁnal trip. VVisdom must be diligently sought with pure motives, and an honest heart fully surrendered to seek ﬁrst the kingdom of God, and all things shall be added unto you. To him that overcometh shall inherit all things. And seek not that. bread that perishetli, but for that daily bread, the hidden manna, which comes from heaven, that we may eat thereof and live and not die, even the bread that the Son of man shall give. For in the beginning was the Word, and the VVord was with God, and which was God. Moses gave not that bread from heaven, but the words I speak unto you, they are spirit and they are life. This is the bread, the life of the body of the Lord Jesus—- the Word, spirit and life; and as the body without spirit is» dead, so faith without works is dead. And the proof is that you keep my commandments, my Word, in spirit and in truth.. God seeketh such to worship him, therefore worship in obe- dience in spirit and in truth; and. by this we abide in him as a lively branch of the evergreen tree.. And the visitation is« the sap, spirit and life; Christ, the vine tree, which was, and. which is, and is to come. Degenerate plants abide not in the vine. Jesus being a seed handed down in the earth,'a seed from the vine tree, and was therefore‘ called the root, and. offspring of David, and his spirit a bright and morning star, and a Branch from the Root of the same stock, called the Lord’s brother, and which springs up, growing up out. of his place, standing up in his stead. Behold the branches of the- living are considered with him, and his spirit also the Day- star, bright and morning star, i. e., of the millennium morn—- ing, the Seventh Messenger of the seventh day of rest, that yet remaineth for the people of God to enter in. Heb. 4-9.’ And so the Branch of the Root brings forth fruit of the same I kind, and dwelling in the vine tree. And the vine grafted into him brings forth, fruit of the vine._ Every Branch That Bringeth Forth Fruit, He Purgeth It, That It May Bring Forth , More Fruit. John 15-2. NOW as it says to bring forth fruit, he purges that they may _ bring forth more fruit. Therefore ﬁrst the Branch, and fruit of that Branch, and was purged for more fruit, for the members to be grafted; for they are considered with the Second Child that standeth up in his stead, instead of the Root and offspring of David. Therefore a fountain opened in the House of David, and which shall be as God; and, because of the grafting, the Branch is called Shiloh, unto whom the gathering of the people shall be, and is recorded in the old scriptures, the song of Moses. And therefore the seed sprung up and made under the righteousness of the law in which there is no death. And therefore he came to abolish death for his elect, chosen seed and spirits of the just; and there- fore in his gospel he spoke of die Child, Spirit of truth, to. come in his name, to stand upon his feet of understanding, for the sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor the law- giver from between his feet till Shiloh comes, and Son of man, before Whom shall be gathered all nations. And two manner of people separated by the law of separation and go- ing on to perfection, which is in Christ, unto Shiloh. There- fore they who receive the Second Child receive me, and who sent him tolstand up in my stead, and therefore they who receive him in my name receiveth the Spirit of truth which guides you in the way of all truth and shows things to come. And they who receiveth not him receiveth not me. And this is the foreordination and predestination of my Father who sent me into the world, and so send I you. Therefore the woman who gave birth to the visitation of life testiﬁed of Shiloh, the Branch, to come, the Vvord of life. And John and James clearly testifying of him said: From the time the woman set her hand to virite should be severity weeks, which was years in this visitation, the Spirit of life would possess the temple. Private Word, Vol. 2, pp. 765, 768; Extracts, Sermon 3, p. 109. And watching under tlie_ law in vain expectation of John to receive Shiloh and be crowned, but it needs ' be that the scrip. tures be fulﬁlled and which cannot be broken. John, the prophet likeunto Moses, said: I labored from sun risincr to its setting, and Benjamin shall reap the fruits thereof. Tes- he labored from the sun rising of the visitation and whic}; was a bright and burning light, until its Setting‘. And he also clearly prophesied of the Sixth Messenoe? to f01]0W_ But was this the Spirit of life in living realitly? No: He was to come as Joshua, and as the spirit and power of Elias to prepare the way, and to turn the hearts of the children to the fathers. And he said to the watchers of the Old House who watch as in the tomb of the law of dead works If Shiloli had come when ye expected him, (i. e., at the expirzition of 70 years,) would ye not have crowned him king over Sataifs king- dom‘?—for he is king of the law of dead works for deqtbh reigned from Adam to Moses, and even over them,( under ihe - ..;_s.w...r.~.;...z ' ’ ‘JERUSALEM. li'I‘H MONTH- SIXTEENTH YEAR OF‘ THE NEW CREATION SH1LOH’S MESSENGER or WISDOM ‘h Piibllahed II .

There- fore Moses gave not that bread from heaven. Therefore, Jesus abolished the law of dead works, because by the law no man can be made perfect. And the watchers of the Old House stumbled at the death of the prophetic messenger and stood still. Therefore I will not feed them that stand still, not visit them that are cut off. But what about his prophecies? They have been and are being fulﬁlled. The SP_lTlt Of life which was to possess the temple at the expiration of seventy years, from the beginning of the W 1'l.lI’1gS and birth ’ of the visitation comparatively, the spirit of Benjamin, pos- S6SS€d the temple. Notice the word p0.v.tc.r.r, and called Gabriel, brother of Michael, spirits of the Father, firstborn and younger brother, born in 1861, and came into the visita- tion when about 3o years of age, and by preparation, the graft when about 33 years of age, according to the prophecy of the Sixth Messenger, who said: It is but a short time when the Second Child will stand up whether you are ready or not, i. e., speaking of the Latter House, whether they are ready to receive him or not, and asked: Will he stand up in Jew or Gentile‘? Nayl But in the Israel of God, and most assuredly before the third watch closes the graft will alight, and truly before the third watch closed it had its ac- complishment. So it is written, VVhen the Seventh Angel begins to sound, the mystery shall be finished, as declared to his servants the prophets. Rev. 10-7. Satan, Prince and Power of Air, De- stroyed, and the Red Dragon Bound . for a Thousand Years. » Eph. 2-2; Rev. 16-17; 20-2. , ‘ N Enoch’s day, and before the flood broke up the fountains ot the deep, in his journey to the extremities of the earth there was an entrance to the north, which seemed to be “difficult to find, wirthout guides; and how much more difficult now, since the earth turned out of its course, and the garden of Eden, together with the paradisical country with all of its goodly and precious things of blessing, covered with the frozen cloud, and sealed till the earth returns back to her proper ‘ourse and changes her laws of the elements, and restores the‘ great paradisical country from whence we came, that all the people of God might return. Again I wish to make mention of this fact: When Enoch found the entrance above the moun- tains to the norm, he turned eastwards a great distance, and arrived at the garden of righteousness, the present north being then in the east. And his starting point on this half of his trip seemed to be from Jerusalem, Palestine country, then in the south. And he proceeded to the middle of the earth, and then east, east, east, until he came to the citadel, and arrived at the garden of Eden which is now sealed in the ‘ north, and rivers and fountains broken up and the place unknown to this day by the fallen world. Since the fall of Adam the earth slowly turned, corn- paratively speaking, and the earth cursed by degrees during the first dispensation, until about the time of the ﬂood. And before, she was often shaken, and eruptions, as fore- warnings, preceding the ﬂood. Andthercfore the paradisi- cal conditions held out around the eastern region, and the garden of Eden country, which remained in its Eden state until the ﬁnal turn north, and the’ great deluge, which changed completely the elemental laws, before which men lived almost a thousand years in the evil state, which short- ened slightly and until after the ﬂood. Then on account of natural conditions life shortened rapidly. Much water over the earth had much to do with it, which receded hack slowly unto this day; and new countries appearing above. The water is now receding back more rapidly, and will continue more rapid until the ﬁnal turn of the earth back to her proper place when the waters will rush back into the inner part of the earth, changing the laws of the planet and effecting the paradisical conditions again. And Satan, prince and power of air destroyed, and the red dragon bound for a thousand years, together with all the fallen angels, to deceive the nations no more, until a thousand years are expired, and then loosed for a little season, and the ﬁnal judgment com- pleted. My Eyes Longed for That Habitation, and Rejoice In Contemplation. Enoch 39-8. IT is written of ,them who reject the Lord of spirits, it would have been better for them had they never been born. When he visits the earth, and the light of the righteous be manifest, the great veil drawn, as light expels darkness, then their misery shall appear; and where is their place of rest‘? Who will be able to stand or abide the day of his mziiiifestation in the glory of his elect, likeunto the immortal manifestation of Jesus, the ﬁrstborn, rejected by Gadrel and fallen angel host; and the Adamic world having re- jected and persecuted the Second, and before whom he will _ be revealed in judgment which fall on them severity‘? .A_nd the kings of the earth shall mourn as they behold him sitting upon the throne of his glory; but to them in displeasure and unto them condemnation. Therefore a greater condem- nation because of the manifestation of the greater light: which brings them to judgment; therefore will not be capable of beholding the countenance of the Holy in peace. . ‘ He was taken in a cloud, and the winds carried him in vision above the surface of earth, to the extremities of heaven and he saw the habitation of the saints with the angels »and their couches with the Holy ones; righteousness like whter and mercy as d€W ﬂ°Wln8 and Scattenng over the earth for them of the new world to come, the place for the elect ,of truth, faith, and righteousness, which shall ﬂourish in holiness and everlasting praise. And countless are the number for that inheritance. And therefore Jesus said: I go to my Father; and if I go I will prepare a place for you-7 speaking to the spirits of the just. The heavens received ’ him until the full restitution of all things. Notwithstanding this he prepared a place, which is the paradisical condition that he worketh and prepares for us, to whom the promise was made, and whom he prepares by that Spirit of truth he sends, which the world cannot receive. And he made the’, world and was in the world, and goeth to prepare, and therefore will come again and receive you unto himself. Every son he receives he chastens and prepares them, and being with you shall be in you, and therefore receive you unto myself, that where I am there ye might be also. So he only hath immortality. Therefore where he is we might immortality, at the sound‘ of__ the Seventh and last trump, which will sound throughout the earth till it be changed. Therefore he comes in visitation, preparation and crucifixion, unto regeneration of his creation, and. shall inherit his great plantation. And so my eyes longed for that habitation, and rejoice in contemplation. The Third Voice, Gabriel, Was Heard Pe- titioning and Praying for Those Who Dwell Upon the Earth. Enoch 4036.. THE great four voic_es of the Most High God:‘The first is the Holy Michael blessing the Lord of spirits, Christ of God. The second is the Holy Raphael, which voice was heard blessing the Elect One, and the elect who were ciruciﬁed on account of the Lord of spirits, in obedience in love. And the third voice was Gabriel, heard petitioning and praying for those who dwell on earth, and supplicating the name of the Lord of spirits. Gabriel who is over all that is power- ful, and over Ikisat, and over paradise; and the fourth is Phanuel, presiding over repentance, and the hope of those who shall inherit eternal life. Many heavens, but one paradise; and so there are heavens below and heavens above, and paradise according to its divisions, and concerning human action. And in most all things natural, there is also the spiritual conditions. The winds, the rain, and snow, and dew, and the clouds, the viable things of the creation, show forth the invisible, evcnjthey eternal power and Godhead, by which all were created, ‘shad man the highest type of creation made and is to be made in his image and after his likeness, to be lords of creation, possessing the power of creation, through Christ, the bright- ness of his glory, and the express image of his person, by whom he made the worlds. And the winds, the pillars of the earth, i. e., the ethereal winds, turn the sky, and cause the sun, moon and stars to set; and the clouds by,it are carried over the earth. And he speaks of the clouds that pass over the earth, and the cloud itself, which continued over the earth before the creation of the world. Notice! the cloud ztrelf, which continued over the earth, before the creation of ‘the world. This is of no private interpretation. The wind blew around the ball of fire, which created water before earth was formed, and the cloud itself, which continued over the earth in its formation, and which was the darkness covering the face of the deep, before the creation of the world, or before its completion, and before the creation of living creature and moving thing, etc. And as the winds lcw around the formation of the ‘world, so also the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters, and said: Let there be light! And the cloud rolled back at the word of the Lord; and as the winds blew from whence they came, so is every man born of spirit, and born of water and spirit, not of blood, nor of the will of man, nor of ﬂesh, but of God, and not of human origin, having no beginning of days not end of life. And the wind, ﬁre, and water, and clouds’ and most all things of like nature are compared to the spiritual, that man might be able to see and comprehend the invisible things of creation. The ﬁre, the winds, and the water, seas, rivers, and springs, and clouds, rain, dew, and frost, and snow, and the earth, with all its precious things, made for Israel’s sake. And the sun, moon and stars of the ﬁrmament heaven, representing the glories pertaining to man, who are of earth and of heaven; and the seas, rivers, and springs are spoken of in comparison. And in the beginning it speaks of a garden inclosed, a spring shut up, a fountain sealed, to be unsealed to the elect. And John spoke of seeing a river clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and the Lamb, etc. And the latter rain as a visitation of his spirit, and as the dew of heaven, and again as refreshing showers from the presence of our Lord and his Christ. The Kingdom _Was Prepared From» the Foundation of the World, and “Yet Remaineth For the People of God. Matt. 25-34; Heb. 4-9. . AND man as a tangible substance is compared to trees hear- ing fruit, vines, and plants, and as stones of the rock—— stones of the mountains, man to be both spiritual and natural. And yet most all things of nature brings both cursing and- blessing, all terminating in good to the elect, for all things work together for good to them who love God and are so called according to his purpose. And as I have shown before, the thundering and lightning are for curs- ing and for blessing; in fact after rebellion and transgression took place, in process of time, most every thing in earth’s nature was cursed, reprobated by a change of lzfw, and the elements as well. And therefore Satan was called prince and power of air until the seventh and last plague destroys his power from the atmosphere, as I have shown in other writings in more detail.

' Seek Wisdom, That You May Be Mindful of That Country From Whence Ye Came, That You May Return. Eccl. 7-12; V Hebrews 11-15. . ;;,J T is said theiworld loves its own. Yes; that’s an in- herited law! And its own loves the world. Therefore as the elect are mixed with it, and tainted with its poison, it is said: Except ye leave father and mother, etc.. ~ for the kingdoms sake, are not worthy; but the elect will‘ come out from the world in the true sense of the word, and free themselves by a clean cut and make the Abraham sacriﬁce, severing all connection with the world, thedevil and the ﬂesh, and have that enmity required between them-‘- selves and the seed of the serpent, and overcometh power with\ all h' ‘charms, attracting power, iwliich , prove every elect, which must come to a decision an m, a clean cut,” which sets themselves free from the bondage of Satan, and from corruption, and brings deliverance into the glorious liberty of the children of God. Seek wisdom, since it has visited the earth again, that you may be mind- ful of that country from whence ye came, that you may return! ‘ ‘ The moon is shown to be in its path, light to the right- eous, and darkness to sinners; and its inﬂuence to the seed _ of. the righteous, and preﬁgures the. glory of the righteous, aliens of mount Esau, according to the righteousness of the law in the name of the Lord of‘ spirits, who created :1 _ division between, light and darkness, and separating the spirits of men,‘ strengthened the spirits of the righteous, in, the name of his own righteousness, which «denotes soul sal-2 vation glofy also, and strengthens them in their own right- , eousness. And there are three divisions of the spirits and souls of the Adamic world-—as I have already .shown, and wisely separated for many reasons—-—besides the three divisions of thefallen angels; they would contaminate each other in’ spirit as in ﬂesh, and the judgment could not be the same. And the great seventh in their separation in spirit, and so - also in ﬂesh, and different divisions or heavens on ac- count of the aliens of mount Esau; and so it says: Two na/tions are‘in her womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from her bowels, and all told, all terminating into seven heavens. But in the‘old world on account of the deceivers and the deceived, wisdom found not a place on earth_to inhabit. So her dwelling place was in heaven. Notwithstanding wisdoin went forth to dwell among the sons of men, but obtained not a habitation; so she returned to her place, and seated herself among the angels. And in the case of Enoch, Elijah, and Esdras, in order to obtain wisdom they entered heaven by a visitation. coming from heaven, obtained wisdom’s lively proportions, the fulness of her glory, because she brought him forth, he being a son of wisdom’s glory, and the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person; made in his image, and after his likeness created he him. And now in -~ this visitation male and female creates he them, while this Adamic world sleeps on. A deep sleep fell upon Adam, and they were still found ‘sleeping in the garden of his great suffering, condemned by the Gadrel world of darkness, He was the son of glory shining in darkness, and the dark. nesscomprehended it not. which arose,again triumphant. And so they went to the_ garden about sunrise, and found the true and living Son had arisen in all of its glory, and so he~said: Ought not he to have suffered all these things and A entered into his glory‘? and iniquity *' habitation, make to them- ‘ And: Jesus, I It was as the sun setting, but ‘ Ji;nusAi.i:.\i. mi MONTII , SIXTEENTH }i:An or THE NEW CREATION = SHILOH’S MESSENGEROF , 0.

Therefore it is written, He that soweth to the ﬂesh shall of the ﬂesh reap corruption; and it is written, Corrup- tion cannot inherit incorruption—proving, as also other’ scriptures show, that the body which goes to the grave re- turns to dust or corruption, and therefore it is raised no ' ore, for corruption cannot inherit incorruption.

For was it notby one man’s sin that death entered in this case signifying all of the Adamic race who have sinned, therefore they have reaped the wages of sin, which is the death of the body. Yet there is :1 sin unto death and a sin not unto death—-which shows the sin unto the death of the body, and yet not unto the death of the soul, by reason‘ of the atonement. And yet, for the body, there IS a reprieve from death through obedience to the law of life; for while it was appointed unto men once to die, yet we find it was not unto all men—-and all have not died. By three or four wit- nesses we know that the appointment of death came by Adamic race under the fall because all have siiined——who died by reason of a continuation of sin, which'is a trans- gression of the law of life which was given to Adam at first. Enoch, the seventh from Adam, received a reprieve, being in the fall, a descendant from Adam.

Elijah, of the Second dispensation, received a reprieve—the second witness or, thelife of the body; and Esdras also, making the third witness. ,And so it is written, In the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established. Three Hebrew Children of the Fiery ,~ Furnace a Figure of the Cleansing Furnace By the Fiery Law. Daniel, 3rd Chapter. JESUS was the fourth whose body saw not corruption by reason-of the law of life, by which he was conceived without evil. Heb. 7-16. These three witnesses are like the three Hdbrew children of the fiery fiimace——a ﬁgure of the cleansing furnace by the ﬁery law,‘the baptism of the Holy Ghost and of fire. Behold thd fourth was seen like unto I the Son of man. And remember,‘No prophecy of the scrip- tures is of a private interpretation. All is written for us upon whom the end has come. , Jesus came to abolish death, and to destroy him who had power of death, which is the devil; and to bring life and immortality to light through the gospel; (2 Tim. I- 10;) being the firstborn Son of God among many brethren who are 'et to be made manifest—as Paul said, The earnest expectation of the creature waitgth for the manifestation of the sons of God; who shall have their vile bodies changed and fashioned like unto the glorious body of Jesus Christ, which saw not corruption. And these sons of God who are to be like‘him——bone of his ‘bone and ﬂesh of his ﬂesh, the bride——shall receive the reprieves from death, as it is writ- ten, The Lord looked down from the height of his sanc- tuary; from heaven did the Lord behold the earth, to hear the groaning of the prisoner, to loose those that were ap- pointed unto death. Paul said, The whole creation groan- ' eth and travaileth in pain together until now; and even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption ogour body. Rom. 8-23. Give Us iThis Day Our Daily Bread——Even That Bread That Cometh Down .;,?,I;‘,1°.om Heaven, That a Man May ‘Eat _Thereof and Not Die. Matt. 6-11; John 6, 48-50. THE 144,000 who are groaning under the fall for de- liverance, shall now be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. Rom. 8-21. And so it is written, If there be an interpreter, one among a thousand, then be gracious unto him, and saith,‘ Deliver him from going down into the pit, I have found a ransom; his ﬂesh shall become fresher than that of a child’s, and he shall return to the days of his youth. Now mark the saying! As they are kept from going down into the grave, their bodies. cannot see corruption; therefore they shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption. Re- member, it is those who sow to the ﬂesh who shall of the ﬂesh reap corruption, being turned over to Satan for the destruction of the ﬂesh. But if we sow to the Spirit, we shall of the Spirit ‘reap life everlasting; and by that Spirit return to the days of youth; and our ﬂesh shall become fresher than that of a child’s. And did not Jesus say, Except we become as a little child we cannot enter the kingdom of God? \ ‘ Therefore let us pray for the kingdom to come, that his will be done in earth as in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread—even that bread which cometh down from heaven that a man may eat thereof and not die; (John 6-50;) for Jesus said, I am that living bread that cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof and live for ever.

And unto Shiloh shall the stones be gathered, and the building. go up without the sound of a hammer or tool to beheard, for it is by the spirit, saith the Lord. The seventh key remains hid and sealed from those of mount Esau. till a thousand years are expired; and the living substance of‘ that key to be received in immortality by the elect of the seven heavens, with all power both in heaven and in earth—-in embryo at present, as signs will not make them perfect, but the living spirit itself in its fulness and. com- pleteness, and which is now preparing and making man as in the womb of Jerusalem, who has come down from the upper heavens, from God out of heaven, as the bride of Christ, and to bring forth her children. And two nations in the womb of providence, remembering Jesus’ second birth of spirit and without blood was by the Mother. And therefore Christ said: Let us make man in our image after our likeness; and in the image-of God created_he him; and our vile bodies must be cleansed by cruciﬁxion and afterwards changed and fashioned like unto his glorious body, he bringing life and immortality to light: through the gospel, now revealed to and by the Second Child sent and prepared to stand up in his stead, Therefore the Lord himself sounds the trump which is Shiloh with the voice of an archangel, Gabriel, and with the trump oi God——the Lord from heaven, a quickening spirit, to quicken our mortal bodies.

IN his nameshall they be preserved, and his will shall be ,, their life. The Lord of spirits is'i\lichael, who preaclied to the spirits in prison, and who redeemed all by the blood x'0f Jesus, his body. Therefore it speaks of the Lord of ’ -spirits and his Messiah, our Lord and his Christ. And the Elect One sthnds before the Lord of spirits, and his glory is for ever and ever, and his power from generation to generation; who is- over Paradise, andmall that is powerful. In meekness and in righteousness shall he judge and rule ‘the nations. Iniquity shall pass away like a shadow, and ~ possess not a ﬁxed; station, and all"who hold with it shall pass away like a dream. The lust of the eye, the pride of life, and all these things shall" pass away, but he that doeth ‘the will of my Father shall abide for ever, and he shall not pass away. With him dwells the spirit of intellectual wisdom, the Spirit of truth, which the world cannot re- ceive, the spirit of instruction and power. The Elect One is in the presence of the Lord of’ spirits. according to his own pleasure, and in controversy none shall be able to utter a word before him. A deep insight is given him, which searches into the deep mysteries of all ‘things, which puts an end to controversy, and which binds Satan, the old red dragon called the devil, that he deceives "the nations no more. However, after the thousand years -have expired, he is loosed a little season and deceives the : rangers, in their generations, but not the nations who bring their honor and glory into the city of theelect, redeemed. in; Michael (Jesus) in that day shall stand up for the -deliverance of his people Israel, which wasi partly ful- ﬁlled in his first coming in the personality of Jesus, the firstborn; and deliverance of his people Israel in this the rt" _ -second coming by his younger brother, Gabriel, who re-' . :sembled one of the holy angels, Michael; and he resembled, that of man, who wasinvoked in the presence of the holy angels, and the Lord of spirits, and the Ancient of days. Therefore in spirit work-with him, and in the creation, to this end, that he testiﬁed unto the truth, Spirit of truth, which is the testimony of Jesus Christ. And therefore the Word of truth bringeth deliverance of his people Israel, and so if the truth set you free ye shall be free "indeed: And therefore the Child he sends in his name, which is the VVord of God; for the Word was with God, and which was God, made ﬂesh in the firstborn, and to be made ﬂesh in his second Son, which is the second ensign for the ingather- ing of the tribes of Israel, and therefore the Lord of spirits with him, and the Lord shall cover him all the day long. Deut. 33-12. And the map of the heavens is given into his hands, and it is found that Jesus, antitype and 2 substance of Joseph, is seated on the throne at the1 right i_ . hand of God. And Gabriel, in the personality of the Second, ‘ - Man-child, sent to stand up in his stead, for the deliverance 4 .of his people Israel. And so the Deliverer shall come EJ1‘ out of Zion and turn away ungodliness from (the household of) Jacob. f,“The Light of Day Shall Rest Upon Them, and They Shall Undergo a Change. Enoch 49-1. ' . THEREFORE sound the alarm in my holy mountain, ,2 saith the Lord! And Gabriel sounds‘ the trump of ‘- God; and with the voice of an archangel, and the mouth- piece, Messenger, Interpreter. Deliver him, saith the Lord, from the pit; I have found a ransom. And his ﬂesh shall become fresher than that of a child’s, and he shall return to the days of his youth by the regenerating spirit of quick- ening; for this mortal shall put on immortality, at the sound of the last trump; and the mystery ﬁnished. And I con- sidered all living, which walk under the sunlight of this visitation, with the Second Child, who stands up in his stead. "And I pray, Father, that you take them not out of the world, but keep them from the evil. And this prayer must have its accomplishment by this visitation of light and life, giving light and power to go through4the .CI’uCli‘lXlOIl, crucifying the old man, that the body of sin might be de- stroyed, that they may be able to return to days of youth.

And the gifts and if calling of God are without repentance, (,l{on1. 11-29,; for repentance is hid from his eyes.

In those The. light of day shall rest upon ‘ (lays the Elect One shall be exalted, and the earth shall rejoice, and the elect inhabit it, for the meek shall inherit the earth, and possess all things. VVhatsoever is produced by labor, sinners will destroy by crime, but they will perish from the face of the Lord of spirits and from his earth‘. Forespeaking of the ﬂood, said: In vain have I destroyed the inhabitants of the earth, because he foresaw wicked- ness would break out again after the ﬂood, and overspread the earth with crime. Therefore it~~seemed to be in vain, if it yet be in vain. And Solomon said: All is vanity and vein- tion of spirit. It was the Ancient of days who repented, and said: In vain hav€I destroyed all the inhabitants of the earth. It repented him that he had to destroy them, for when‘ these words were uttered, which stands on record in the Book of Enoch, he had not yet destroyed them. Therefore it sta ds apfoof that it repented him, in sorrow, that the angels rebrehledand deceived the Adamic world, and therefore had to be destroyed. And still, foreknowhig allithings, it was decreed and determined that as in the days of Noah. so shall , it be in the coming of the Son of man; and therefore‘ pre-‘ fixed a sign, and foreordained and predestinated a covenant that he would not act thus, and no more destroy all ﬂesh. Rainbow, Sign of the Covenant, Appeﬁrs . By Mist and Sunshine. Genesis 9, 12-15. ‘THEREFORE there will be 144,000 elect, and seven times that of aliens of mount Esau, and strangers together with them will be ten times that number. The elect he will re- deem and will not repent, for repentance shall be hid from my eyes. Hos. 13-14. It repented him that the world fell, but he will not repent in their redemption, and neither will his elect, for the gifts and calling of God are without rc- pentance. Make no mistake in this, for where sin is com- mitted there must be repentance, but the gifts and calling of God are not sin, but righteousness. Therefore the gifts and calling of God are without repentance;.and the fruits of, the Spirit follow._ ‘And it repented him -in sorrow to see his son, the righteous and just, suffer for the unjust; not ithat he repented on account of the gift and his calling, but to see and feel him suffer. And Jesus wept, and in deep sorrow, bearing the depression and sins of the world, not on account of the glory that was to be revealed and which was revealed. And so he said after his cruciﬁxion: Ought ‘not he to have suffered all" these things and enter into his glory?’ Truth is many sided, and we cannot compass its lively pro- portions with a single gaze. ‘ - ’ , The world was lost by the fallen angels in Adam, and in Adam all die, i. e., the first Adam, of earth, earthy, and its dust of clay; but the latter Adam, a quickening spirit, is the Lord from heaven, by whom we shall return to that country from whence we came; but must suffer with him after doing the greater work: by crucifying the old Adamic man. And then the greater suffering, and do the work that he did and enter into his glory and reignwith hirn. And the rainbow with its seven colors is the sign in the heavens of his covenant, the Word of God. And the seven spirits of God is immortality. I I l 1 ‘ 4 r ‘ The rainbow; sign of the covenant, is a beautiful ﬁgure in every way. It appears by mist and sunshine, and pertain- ' ing to the latter rain visitation, and its glory 6f the s-u-n and of the s-o-n. I will place a sign in the heavens, ﬁrmament heaven, answering to the upper heavens. And the covenant is with the elect of God. And the sign shall be a faithful witness between me and them for ever. And this covenant itself in Jesus, Lord of spirits, a faithful witness between God and the Elect One, and to them to whom the promise was made. And a new‘ covenant will I make with the house of Israel after those days, (.Ier. 3i-31; Heb. 8-8,) because the covenant of life could not come into effect until after the days of «the old world expire, the time being shortened for the elect’s sake; because the Gentiles trample it under foot until their fulness. Luke 21-24; Rom. ii-25. And as to the fallen angels, saith the Lord, I will seize them, and as Jesus said: As a snare shall it come upon all that dwell upon the earth. But Israel will dwell in heaven by the visitation. And he says: I will seize them before the time, by the instrumentality of angels, in the day of aﬂliction and trouble." And 0 ye kings, and ye mighty, who inhabit the world, ye shall behold my Elect One, sitting upon the throne of his glory. And he shall judge Azazeel, and all his associates, and all his hosts, in the name of the Lord of spirits. The Day of Preparation. Fulﬁllments of Prophecy. Nahum 2-3, 4; Enoch 55, 1-3. ND this Elect One sent in the name of the Lord of spirits is Gabriel, who knows and understands concerning the judgment of Azazeel, and his hosts. Before and during such judgment, the deceivers and the deceived shall be set against each other, and chase them’ like foxes. And princes combine together and conspire. The chiefs of the east, among Parthians and Medes, shall remove kings, in whom a spirit of perturbation shall enter. They shall hurl them from their thrones, springing as lions from their dens; like famished wolves into the midst of the flock; and take their land. And the city of my righteous people shall impede the progress of their horses, and they shall destroy each other, nor shall a man acknowledge his friend or his brother, nor the son his father or his mother; and the same is shown in the gospel; and these things cannot take place without a cause, and hell shall open her mouth wide and swallow them up.

And He says: This shall be in t E day of my preparation; And there are many things In W33’ 0 invention spoken of in ancient wfitings. And Enoch f““he"' niore clearly spoke of these last days in which he 53W 8"?" inventions, and preparations of war, by which they d€5U'{’Y _ tliemselvcs. Enoch 52, 3-5. And therefore’, 21S.lt says in another place: VVith their own wisdom th_e_v p6l'1Sh~ 3001‘ of Enoch 68-16. ' O And it also says in the Apocryphal writings :’ Show - the image of a voice, and I will then show you things which must come to pass in the latter times of the last daysot visitation, when I shall begin to Visit thﬁ earth, 215 It Shall .. be life to a remnant on one hand, and desolation and woe on the other. - _ _ In these times the old world shall vanish away, and the new come in as a bird unfolds and blooms in beauty. _ and which fadeth not away; for the deserts shall bloom in. » ‘ roses, and the earth shall yield her seven-fold. The‘ image of the voice mechanically could be applied to thegrapha-, phone, and all such inventions; notwithstanding ‘It has 2 more far-reaching meaning, as reprobation, delusion, and false prophecies always follow the genuine; and since the .. fallen angels reprobated the secrets of heaven, and be- ‘ came traitors ‘to God, the world is filled ‘with spiritiial reprobation, deceiving and being deceived; the.whole thing an imitation, and exalting themselves above the Most High and God of the living, (Matt. 22-32,) and claim to be born of God, having Christ in them; and therefore it is but the image of a voice; and so it is written concerning the beast and the image of the beast, and causes the image to ‘speak. Rev. 13-5, 6. And it speaks also of them speaking great — swelling words, and even will call down ﬁfe. I only brief in-a few‘ points on these lines, but there are volumes, as this 4 great subject runs through, the scriptures, written for this the time of the end and day of visitation. And because of V the visitation, Satan imitates, transforms, and reprobates most all things, assuming to be gods and lords; and so it is written of them: There are lords many and gods many; and’ so the legion of tombs cried out at the presence of Jesus, saying: We are many. And so it is also written that Satan himself is transformed. into an angel of light, and no marv if his ministers be, transformed also,:and would deceivepif it were possible the very elect. And as" he is transfonnecl’ into an angel of light, what‘ is their speech but an~‘i7i1¢ "‘ of a -voice, assuming to speak with the voice of God? i Jesus said: My sheep know my voice, the,’-tr-iie a stranger, or a strange voice, they will ,not. John 10-4. v ' - 5 Blessed Are Ye, .0 Ye Saints and Elect, for Glorious Is Your Lot. Enoch -56-2, ,,’ JESU/‘S Christ was the true vine, and the,"Father, the hus- bandman, and speaks with the true voice. Then it fol- lows the image of a voice by reprobation and t'ransforma- ‘ tion. But the Spirit of ‘truth proves all things, and this the i_ world cannot ‘receive. And the time shortened for the e‘lect’s ' sake or no ﬂesh would be saved. But as he hath shortened" the time, so ﬂesh will be saved. And Satan in great wrath; ‘ knowing his time is shortened, therefore he -raiseth up in “ great wrath, knowing he hath but a short ‘time. And the . agitation shook the pillars of the earth, and the ﬁrmament ' of heaven. Therefore, it says: I will not only once more shake the earth, but alsg heaven, 'that the thingsiwhich are shaken mightrbe removed, and ‘be things which cannot be shaken might remain. , There is a difference in the elect and the saints, and even in this, no privateinterpretation; and as Enoch said: Blessed are ye, 0 ye saints and elect, for glorious is your lot! . But there are different glories, both in the spirit, celestial and terrestrial. The saints shall exist in the light ,of the sun. Those who die in the faith, they hold the light of the glory of the sun, andthereforc become ministering spirits to i -' the elect in their redemption. In the terrestrial, the aliens are in the light in part, and obtain a partial redemption; and again the children of the elect with the light by inheritance, and they may be called elect saints; but as to the alien saints, or second elect: Nor will the days of‘ the saints be numbered, who seek for light and obtain righteousness with the Lord of spirits, i. e., Michael, Jesus, who became ‘both_ Lord and Christ. And so it is said: Peace be to the saints with the’Lord of the world; and again it is written: Behold, He cometh with ten thousand of His saints. ‘ And henceforward shall the saints be told to seek in heaven the secrets of righteousness, the portion of faith; for like the sun it has arisen upon the earth, first upon the moital and immortal earth of Jesus, and secondly upon the elect, wvhile darkness has passed away. And it follows that there shall be light, which cannot be numbered, nor shall they be numbered, nor shall they enter upon the enumeration of time. And this light that cannot be numbered are the gen- erations born in the sabbath of light; and darkness pre- viously destroyed, and light shall increase before the Lord of spirits, and the light of uprighmess increase for ever. The elect shall exist in the light of everlasting life, and the light of everlasting life in them eternally, the days of whose ‘ life shall never terminate. I r as the train ‘pulled out. I .

A. i e ‘ _ _ _ Ephrata, Pa. SINCE last writing you from Columbia we have spoken in several towns and disposed of quite a lot-of Isracl’s "literature. After leaving Columbia’ we went on to Char- lotte}, where we\stayed three weeks and met up with Annie, Forest and Jesse, and had a very enjoyable time together during our stay. We held some ﬁne meetings and disposed of quite a lot of literature. Charlotte is a soldier camp town, and in all of our meetings weihad quite a number of them present, and many became deeply interested and took the seven Booxs or WisDoM and the Book of Enoch. Quite a number of them that obtained the literature had orders to move, and sevieral of them said that the LITTLE BOOKS would be in their kit when they went across. We stayed with Forest and party quite a while. On Saturday one party went in a brothei"s auto to Fort Mills and Rock Hill, while the other party stayed in Charlotte. _ —The next town on our route was Greensboro, .where quite a lot of interest was manifested, several people taking the full sets of the Books or WISDOM, some also ordering the further books. During our stay in Greensboro we went out on Sunday afternoon and spoke at McAdoo Heights, . which is a bigvcotton mill settlement, and here we left quite' t of literature as a witness of our visit. At Greensboro arties separated, Forest and party going by Danville staunion to Hagerstown, while we went by way of 2 I ' -and-Charlottesville to Washington and Baltimore. — ot stay longiin Washington, but went on to Balti- more, and here we found a wide-open town with exceptionally odd permits. In Baltimore you can speak on any corner that you desire to, but I think it is one of the noisiest towns that we were ever in. During our stay here, one man wanted ‘to contend for ‘a heaven up in the sky, but after we were through" with him, he said he -was satisﬁed to stop here, and see the Lord’s prayer fulﬁlled, which says, “Thy kingdom come!” Just, before we left he took a subscription to our paper, SHiLoH’s MESSENGER or Wisnoivi, and the Book of Enoch. We stayed in Baltimore for one week and held many interesting meetings, and quite frequently after meeting we would be held on the corner answering questions put to us by interested ones, which we are always pleased to answer when the -‘questions are not asked for contention. After leaving Baltimore we visited York, Columbia and ,Lancaster, and then came on here, held a ﬁne morning - meeting in Columbia, and then caught train for Ephrata, where we are at present. This is a very interesting little town,’ as it is where the first "printing press was madﬁa Wh€1'C' ' the ﬁrst newspaper was printed, and where the ﬁrst church was built, in the United States. We are sending you a view of the different buildings. We stayed here Saturday and ' Sunday. Immediately after arriving here as there was quite a crowd down at the train, we started in‘ to speak as soon We held a very nice afternoon mee ‘ng and advertised for our nightgmeeting. At our night meeting we had one of the most attentive crowds we have ever spoken to. They were hungry ‘for the truth. They took every book and paper that we had in the box, so while sister spoke a second time, I obtained a fresh supply, much of which we also disposed of. After meeting quite 21 number came, up and invited us to their homes during our stay In their city. _ " - From yours in the race for the establishment of God’s Roxis AND GORDON. ?f~=“f?E=“.’{*=‘.’E¥§~?E*¥*2E [CONTINUED FROM JULY Misssizxoiskj V ' Ontario, Calif. kingdom on earth, T San Bcrnardino, a kind lady, on ﬁnding out we were veg- . etarians, brought us over a cooked vegetarian dinner both days we were there.

Then ’sHi‘LoH’s MESSENGER or WISDOM he turned to the crowd and called out loud, trying to drown me out, and said, “Men, I want to warn you against false prophets, who are going around denying there is a hell. They do not tell you to be saved.” I said, Hold on", sir! Two can’t talk at once. You take ﬁve minutes and prove what you are saying. Read it out of the bible to these people. I And at the end of that time you will see I have kept per- fectly quiet, so the crowd can hear your side. Then I will .speak for five minutes, and you must keep quiet, so they can hear my side. At this many in the crowd said, That is fair. Then at the end of ﬁve minutes, he asked for longer time, as he said he was not through yet\ I said, All right then, let him have a little longer. So he spoke nearly ten minutes, and seemed to be run out; and then had not read one quotation to prove his point to the crowd. Then when he was ﬁnished he made off. I said, Don‘t run'away. Then ‘ as I commenced to speak, the police, who listencd",'tox‘the preacher and h ldingswith him, came up to me and said, That is enouglf:.you are not going to be ﬁghting on the _scriptures\here. I said, VVe are not ﬁghting. That preacher tried to ﬁght, and I told him he could go ahead and speak, and I would keep quiet till he was through, then I would talk,_ He said, I don’t Care, you’ve got to stop and cut it out. I said to him, You areiriot fair to let that prc:1cher'butt in on me to stop my meeting, and now will not let me. ﬁnish -it. -At this the crowd called out to him that it was not fair, that they wanted to hear our side; but he said he would arrest me if I did not get off the street, and made for me, as if to arre"st'me. But just then a strong husky man in the crowd grabbed him by the arm, and shook his ﬁnger in the policeman’s face and said, You are_not fair. I, seeing that, said, All in this crowd that want to hear me on this subject, put up your hand. Then all hands were raised, it seemed; and some raised their hands and shouted they would stand by me.-. Then I went on talking. Now, I,said, this man says there is an eternal hell; that is what he rays, but he never brought up one passage of scripture to prove it. Furthermore, he says, There are only two places to go to— heaven, or hell; and when you die you go to either one, as you can’t go to both. I’ll prove that you do not go to either hell or heaven at death; and I’ll also prove that the bible does not teach an eternal punishment. In the ﬁrst place, I will ask this man, does he believe in the great judgment day, when the books will be opened and the dead shall 1 be judged out of the things written in the books. Rev. 20-12; Acts 24-15. The crowd assented, and he nodded his head. Then, I said, Why would you send a man to hell or heaven before he was judged, if the books were to be opened at the last day? If a man goes to heaven or the other place just as soon as he dies, that would make God out'to be unfair. Now’ for example: If a good man about five thousand years’ ago got into poor circumstances, and his little family were crying for bread, and this overcame him and he stole a sack of ﬂour; and while he was going home with it on his shoulder, the owner saw him and shot him and killed him in the act. Now they say he went to ‘hell right then, be- cause he did not have time to repent, and has been frizzling in hell ever since. Another man commits the same crime last night, we’ll say, under the same conditions, and was killed the sameiway. He would _go to hell last night. Then if the books were opened tonight, both those men would be called up to be judged—one having served 5,000 years, and the other only 24 hours in hell, for the same crime; then call God just! The crowd saw the point. Martha, speaking to Jesus concerning her brother Lazarus, said, “I knowmy brother shall live again at the resurrection at the last day.” Now this man also said that we were deceivers, and deceiving, telling you that there is no hell, when the bible teaches an eternal hell. And he also said, God was a God of love. It is written, “God’s darling attribute is love and mercy.” Now I ask, How could God be a God,of love, if he—knowing all things, always was and ever shall be the same God; if he made man, having all power to make him as he so chose, and knowing at the same time what his destiny would be—'for he made him subject to the fall,, and vanity against his will——-then created a dreadful hell to burn him in? Then it must be God’s pleasure to make or create a whole mass of human‘ ﬂesh or beings for fuel for this eternal ﬁre, that diis man tells you about. Would you call that a God of love‘? I tell you, men, the bible does not teach it. He is the Saviour of all men, especially of those that believe. 1 Tim 4-io. There is a punishment for sin. Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not go unpunished—but it is not eternal torment. The rest of the dead lived not again until after the thousand years are expired. They may be banished for 1,000 years; but it is written, “Yet doth he dc-‘V vise means, that his banished be not expelled from him for ever;” (2 Sam. 14-14;) also Lam. 3-31: “For the Lbrd will 220/ cast off for ever; but though he cause grief. yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.” The bible speaks of for ever and everlasting punish- , ment, which does not mean eternal, as this man thinks; for I 3 will show, by the scriptures, that for ever and ever_la5tz'ng i both have an end in the scriptures. For instance: The ‘ wicked shall be cast into the lake of fire, and_ the .smoke of their torment ascended up for ever and ever. Now the first “ever” had to ﬁnish before the second “ever” Gould coin- mence. That shows that for ever had an end. This preacher shook his head." He did not think it had an end. It is written, If a servant say, I love my master, I will not go out free: then his master shall bring him unto the door post; and shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he _shall serve him for ever. Exodus 21-5, 6. When that ‘servant died that ended his service; for Job 3-19 says, In the grave, Published at Benton Harbor, Mlolilgan, U.8.A. the small and great are there, and the servant is free from- his master. Jonah was in the whale‘s belly, and the earth with her bars was aboiirhiiii for ever (Jonah 1'0)‘-ﬁnd he wgis there only three (l21_\‘S and nights. This is the shortest mr PIT/‘ we liavc any record of—tlirce dziys. _ VVherc it speaks of the wicked being cast into ever- lasting fire, this word evcrlartizzg does not _mean eternal, for it is written, The priesthood was given to the sons of Aaron of the tribe of Levi, and it should be to them an everlasting priesthood. Exodus 40-15. This everlasting priesthood ended. Paul says in Hebrews 7-12, 14: Our Lord sprang of Judah, of which tribe Moses said nothing concerning priesthood. As there was a change of priesthood, there was of necessity a change of the law. Hebrews 2-i4 says, that through Jesus’ death he would destroy him who has the power of death, that is the devil. So when the devil is de- stroyed, who is going to carry on your hell, you talk about‘? Meanwhile that police went off and got two more police, but they were afraid of the crowd, who stood for us to a man, it seemed; and the preacher finding himself as one alone, never offered to speak again, but told the crowd that he did not understand. This was all he hzfd to say. I then told the crowd that Mr. B. , the attomey-at-law, had given me the permision to speak here, and thatwhat we had to say would not hurt any one. ' We met a woman in Ontario, who seemed to be a real truth-seeker,’ and she took the SHiLoH’s Mrsssxcsk for a year; also first Book or WisDoM, and little books. We are now at Los Angeles, and have received our mail, which has been forwarded on to us from Redlands. I forgot to mentipn, at Riverside, a man in the crowd called out, Paul says, It is a shame for a man to wear long hair. I said, Will you please read that to me out of the bible. I have been preaching for eleven years, and have had ' a great many people to say, Paul says, It is a shame for a man to wear long hair, but I have never found one yet who" ' could produce it. VVill you please read it to the crowd? He began to say, “VVell, anybody knows it is a shame.” Then he came over to me and said, “It is a shame for any man to wearla wig!” and grabbed my hair expecting it to come loose, but found it would not come off, and said, It seems to be stuck on. He did not know where the quotation was he wanted. He said, “These people are false prophets. They are not God’s people. They are not chvristiansl” and then ran off. I said, Wait a minute! Do you know me? He saidthat he did not. Then how do you know we are ‘not God’s people‘? You told the crowd, we were not God’s people. Now who is the false prophet‘? Out of your own mouth are you condemned. Then I read the quotation where it shows that nature teaches that if man have long hair it is a shame unto him. Notice, nature teaches it; not God; and it is written, Ye are by nature the children of wrath. Rosie asked him if he kept the Nazarite law! He did not answer. Then I said, Do you know what the Nazar- ite law is? Still he hesitated. Then I quoted, Thou shalt not round the comers of thy head not mar the corners of thy beard; and no razor shall come upon the head of a Nazarite, from the day of his consecration. At this the crowd com- menced to laugh at him, and he ran off down the street. Yours in Israel’s most holy faith, ROSIE & WALTER. HOME- COMING. House of David, Benton Harbor, Mich. AFTER a successful trip of about fourteen months, we are glad to arrive home again, and rest up awhile. We enjoyed our trip very much, as we had ﬁne meetings all the time. People are now beginning to realize Jesus’ words are- true: Wars and minors of war, pestilence, famine, etc.; which will sweep all wickedness off the earth_ Then 3 new kingdom will be set up, wherein dwelleth righteousness. We have met many in our travels who are earnestly seeking truth, and awaiting the call to come home. On ‘our way home through Missouri and Illinois we held some very‘ inter- esting meetings with scarcely any contention. ’ 1 ‘ - 1 At Sedalia, Mo., where we stayed three days, we had some big attentive crowds. Boonville and Fayette were ‘ b°Fh Very 800d; but Moberly was one of the best towns in Missouri. We were there several days, and had splendid attention—many good questions being asked for jnfonngtjon, One man took all the BOOKS or WVISDOBI.‘ He was one of the head officials of the railroad. About seven vears ago he was in Chicago on business; and while there, a lawyer, who was :1 friend of his, invited him to take :1 trip across to the Hoiisc of David. He was very much interested in the place, and also our belief; but more especially in Benjamin, Whom 116 had never met before. They talked 21 long while t0{-Tether. and I16 Silid he had never seen or met a iiiaii with such a clear mind. All his talk was so brief and to the point. Hesaid he never did forget his visit, and intends coming again as soon as possible. From there we Crossed‘ 10 Hannibal, Stopping On our way at several smaller towns. At Hannibal we stayed three or four days, and had good success. Saturday night we had a very large crowd, Vvhcn we were almost through three Mormons interrupted, taking up the point of the soul. They claimed the spirit with the body constituted the soul—trying to prove it by Genesis. The)’ Said, God made man of the dust (i. e., the body). and breathed into him the spirit; so man became a living SOUL We t00k them upon it, and proved, undoubtedly, that man is composed of three distinct parts—spirit, soul and body. The spirit returns to God—one part. The curse \ i 5‘ I \ ” Iunusatnmtiiirrn MONTH . SIXTEENTH YEAR orrriiiishisvv CREATION E g _ being pronounced on the body, because of sin, it returns to dust. 2 Sam.’ 14?-14 says: It is as water spilt upon the ground. In Job 79» it is written, As the clouds are consumed and V3m5h =1“’3Y» so he that goeth down to the pit (grave) cometh up no more. And in 1 Corinthians I;-;o it says, Corrup- tion cannot inherit incorruption. Paul also says, Thou fool, thou sowest not that body which shall be. VVhile proving that the body once dead never rises again, they interrupted again, saying the body would rise again; and quoted Ezekiel, where the dry bones in the open valley came together-~bone to bone, and sinew to sinew. They said this had reference I to the dead, both Jew and Gentile. But when we read the ‘ W passage to them carefully, they had to admit it was not M -' to Israel. And furthemiore, it was an open valley—not a closed valley, or the grave. Ezekiel in this place was refer- ring to the remnant, the elect——a few, who would overcome sin, death and the grave; and would have their vile bodies l 106d . d fsmhon d like h" 'Jesus ——bone of hi" bone, _ . Cunt‘ rm 1 6 1 m1 i D i hear us preaching on the street think our doctrine strange. and flesh of his ﬂesh. V\'hereas those who die are never made like him, but like unto :iIigels—a spiritual body. To prove this, we referred them back to Genesis, where God ‘made man, male and female, in his own image. But by transgression they lose that image (the body); as Paul says, They suffer loss. Consequently, in resurrection, they are neither male nor female, but only have two parts reunited—forming a spiritual, or celestial body. We also proved it by the object lesson Jesus brought’ forth to the - people in his day: The woman with seven husbands. They I wanted to know whose wife she would be in the resurrection; but Jesus said, In the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage. And it says, They are neither male nor female. Gal. 3-28. Why‘? Because the body. which constitutes male and female, goes to dust, to rise no more. To make it more clear, I asked them where the spirit came from. Why, from God, they said. Now this proves our point, I said; and it proves the spirit is separate from the soul, as the scripture says, Out of J acob’s loins came seventy souls——not spirits. They tried to twist out of that, by saying, “But that is the old scriptures, and it might have reference to something else.” I said, Well, we will take you on your own ground: so you believe the atonement of Jesus Christ is a free gift of grace‘? They said, Yes. .We then asked, Do , you believe that both are saved——Jevv and Gentile? Yes, . I’ the,y,_ said. Then I quoted Rev. 20-12: I saw the dead, both ' small and great, stand before God; and the Books were opened: and the dead (Jew and Gentile) were judged put ' . of the things written in the books (law and gospel); and another book (the third book) was opened, called the Book of Life. And allthose whose names were not found written in the Book of Life, were cast into the lake of ﬁre. Now, I said, if the spirit and the body form the soul, and _the soul ‘is saved ‘by the atonement——a free gift of grace, without works—then what is left to be cast. into the lake of fire? Nothing? So you have destroyed your own argument. They did not attempt to answer it. Two men stepped up and took three books each, and said, You people have the best argu- ment. The Mornions did not wish to go any further, but acknowledged to the crowd we had plenty of good argument; but they would not take any literature. They were not willing to be led in the way of all truth, and shown things to come. ‘ J . Well from Hannibal we crossed the Mississippi river, pver to Quincy, Ill., where we stayed threedays. The ‘crowds were very attentive, and anxious to listen; but the privileges were not very good. "From there we went on to Galesburg, and then to Peoria. We stayed nearly four days in Gales- burg, and over a week in Peoria. VVe enjoyed ourselves very .:,s._.v).;<—,v_.., . . stayed with a sister in the faith, where we spent a pleasant time. As we got closer home we met many people who had visited our park, and had stayed at our hotel and vegetarian restaurant, and said they had enjoyed themselves very much. After leaving Peoria, we only made a few more stops, but stayed several days in each town: Ottawa, Joliet, and Aurora whﬂe we were vervv well known, and we held fine , . . meetings every time we spoke. . VVell we are glad to be home, after such a long trip; and after 21 short rest will no doubt go out again to spread this Great Iiiessage of life; as it must be preached as a witness untoctliem, then shall the end come.

We are causing quite a stir among the people. 1\'Iany when they They Say they never heard the like before. Others \say, VVhy can’t our ministers tell us these things? We say, It is because Jesus handed them a closed book—signifying it was sealed from their understanding. The deep sayings of Jesus, spoken of in proverbs, were under seal till the time of the end. And it is w-ritten, Go thy way, Daniel, the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Daniel 12-9. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie; though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Hab. 2-3. This is the promised visitation to Israel, by ‘which all things will be made plain. The days of visitation are come; the" days of recompence are come; and Israel shall know it. Hosea 9-7. But the world say, He cometh upon all as a thief in the night l——showing they. are in darkpess. 1 Thess. 5, 2-5. -Speaking of Israel, it says, Ye brethfen are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you ,as,_ a'tlief. _ Some are awakening out of the sleep ofﬂkdarn. They say to us, “We are getting nothing at our church, and we know we can learn more; and what a beautiful message you have brought us. We never heard the scriptures ex- plained before like it.” So those who know the-Master’s voice will rejoice, and receive the unsealed Word, which will be made ﬂesh in his elect, the 144,000 living bones, and lively stones of the immortal city of God—the general assembly of the church of the ﬁrstbom. This is the virgin message that Gabiiel and the heavenly host brought at Jesus’ birth. And now he comes the second time with the message that will bring to birth the sons of God; who will sing, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, and good will toward men!” Therefore, unto us aichild is born; unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulders. He laid the foundation in his firstborn, and in his youngest son shall he set up the gates thereof. Isa. 9-6; Joshua 6-26. This is the Lord himself, with ‘the voice of an archangel, and the trump of God. 1 Thess. 4-16. This is the trump of everlasting life, the testimony of Jesus Christ. This Angel Messenger was seen by John, ﬂying through the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to them that dwell upon the earth. The meek shall inherit the earth, and the righteous shall never ,.be removed. I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death; O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction. Hosea 13-14. A man said to me when I offered him the LITTLE ‘BOOK, What is .this—is it a new faith? I said, It is old and yet new; It is the faith once delivered unto the saints. Paul often spoke of the great faith, and the common faith. The common faith is simply the salvation of the soul, by and through faith, common toboth Jew and Gentile; while the great faith, is the redemption of the body, without death, promised to Israel,‘ who are now to receive it. He said, Do you mean to say, you will not die? I said, We take the VVord of God for it: Jesus said, If a man will keep my saying he shall zzarier rec zicaifi; believest thou this‘? He Said, “ I always thought that meant a spiritual death; this is something new to me. I will have one of those books to study it. I never heard it explained like that before.” A man at our meeting was urging the people to take the literature. and he read it, and it was the truth; and although e ‘had read the bible many times, there were certain passages he could not understand until he read the LITTLE Boox, which made them clear and plain to him. Let him‘ who runs now read; and he that readeth let him understand, for the davs of visitation have come. Jesus speaking of the end of the Gentiles, said there would be a time of trouble, such as never was, or ever shall be; and if those days.were not shortened, no ﬂesh would be saved, but for his elect’s sake he would shorten the time. Therefore Satan’s time is nearly up. It ‘is written, Remove the diadem, take off the crown, and give it to him whose right it is to reign. God has placed the rainbow in‘ the sky, as a covenant that he would not destroy all flesh. Michael, the great Prince, is now standing up tor the deliverance of his people, Israel; for this mortal must put on immortality at the sound of the last trump.‘ Our vile bodies are to be prepared for that great change by the new covenant, which writes his laws in their hearts and stamps them upon their mind. He will take awav their sins, and blot them out of his remembrance; for by the power of God they will overcome the works of Satan and live the life of Jesus—growing in grace and knowledge of the truth. Blessed aretliey that do his commandments. that they may have a right to the tree of life.

Joel 3-21. , Jesus was a light to lighten the Gen-tiles, but to the glory of his people Israel. His prayer will be answered 111 his elect, when he said, 0 Father, glorify me with the glory \ I had with thee before the world was; and the answer Was. I have gloriﬁed thee, and will glorify thee again. And so he was glorified in Jesus, and also will be again In his elect (the Bride), who are now being gathered unto mercy, truth and life; while the warnings are going on to_ all nations». asking them to ‘ﬂee from the.wrath to come, like as in the days of Noah. and Lot. The message of life is being preached among all nations, and soon the door of life will be closed. Jesus said, The kingdom shall be given to those prepared of my Father; (Matt. 20-23;) and no good thing , ‘I, will God withhold from those who love him and keep his cdmmandments. We are looking forward to the time, when Israel will be restored to their kingdom, and Satan bound, a thousand years, to deceive the nations no more; (Rev. 2o-3;) when Christ’s kingdom will be established on earth. Turn the battle to the gate, and strive to enter in at the” straight gate. Many will strive to enter in but shall not be’ able, because they will not strive lawfully, nor be obedient to the Master’s voice. Israel will follow the Son of man, through the cruciﬁxion and regeneration», and will sit doW1'l with him on his throne, because they will overcome the World,‘ ‘ the ﬂesh -and the devil. for the Lord . s Last Sunday afternoon we had a large crowd at our meeting on the Yarra bank.’ This place is noted for the many and varied speakers. We are allowed to express our views, but will not be permitted to pass out literature, so we - tell the people we will bring it to their homes. While one of the brothers was addressing the crowd, a man who claimed to have the Spirit within him, kept interjecting. His tongue was an unruly member, as he could not_ keep quiet, although he was asked to be; quiet by those who stood near him. He claimed all have to die; and he said, I want to ask a question. Brother asked what the question was. He said, Are all things possible with God? Brother’s answer was,‘ No. ‘He said, “Oh! Oh! Did you hear him?”, Broth said to him, There is one thing impossible with God, and’ that is, it is impossible for God to lie—a thing which you -have been doing. The crowd then gave him the laugh said, He is too much' for you. He then bolted thr the crowd, to-the merriment of all. The people ’th§n us for the words we uttered, and Said’t.'hey Wo1.1.1d:'c again. ' '- 5 i I ' ' ‘i The’ troubles on the earth are stirring the people - Some ask us‘ if this is the battle of Armageddon. We say, ~ No, but this leads up‘ to it. There will only be breathing space long enough to make greater preparations. Israel are to be gathered in a dark and cloudy day, and will, be plucked as’ brands from the burning pile. I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep, not back! I will gather my sons from afar, and my daughters from the ends of the earth. God has said he will make a quick‘ work of it, and cut it short in righteousness. Therefore Israel is the seed spoken. of to whom the promise of eternal life was made, which was given by God (who cannot lie) before the world began.

"Strive To Enter In At th St ‘t G t ‘Life. Matt. 7-13, 14;eLuli.eal13-2a4.e of ACCORDING to the scriptures there must of a necessity be the lngalherlng 0'f the promised seed, which was to come to whom the_promise was made, and it needs be that tho; scriptiires be fulﬁlled; and it cannot be broken. And this mgathering has begun, and is going on, and there was to anew covenant made with the children of Israel after ‘those days, when I shall take away their sins; (Rom. 1 1-27 ;) and therefore there must, of a necessity, and accordingvto the scriptures, be a Messenger of the Covenant, and who must be a representative of the coming of Christ, the spirit of God, for the establishment of his kingdom on earth. And the S€VCI1.tl1 Angel Messenger to ﬁnish the mystery of God ‘manifest in the ﬂesh; and as it furthermore shows, when the Seventh Angel ends his sound, the kingdoms of this ,world become the kingdoms of our Lord and his Christ. And if I come in the second watch, or in the .third watch, blessed are those servants who are so found doing. Therefore trive to enter in at the straight gate, for many shall strive to‘ titer: in and shall not be able._ Luke 13.-24. ‘ His reward is th\him,and ‘his’ work before him. Therefore there is a paratiori to be made for entering in‘ at the straight gate (of h I w'll_explain later down). Many will not fulﬁll ord o God, and therefore not prepare, and when it is o -late.'will strive to enter in and shall not be able. Like in‘ the days of Noah, and so shall it be in the coming- of the Son of man. Straight‘ and narrow is the path, and ‘few -there be that go in thereat; but broad is the way that eadeth to destruction (which isthe grave), and many go n thereat. And so also many will strive to enter the gate after it is too late. . Straight and narrow is the pathway of life, and a few there be that ﬁnd it. Therefore strive to enter in at the open gate of life. And in the way of righteousness is life, in the pathway thereof there is no death. Prov. 12-28. According to the gospel of life, as it is in Jesus Christ, let. your light shine, and be honest in good works, that the gospel of life be not evil spoken of. And if for the ‘gospel’s sake they speak evil, return not railing for rail- irig, nor enter into evil contentions, but meekly deliver the message of life, that they may by your good works which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. B_e subject to the powers that be, as ordained of God in their . t_irnes and seasons. Therefore submit yourselves to ordinance ljof men, ‘without rebelling- in railing contentions, which gcndereth strife and bondage; and as to governors and supreme rulers, in ishrnent of evil doers, and for the praise’ of them that do well, and so by well doingmay put‘ to silence the ignorance "of foolish men. God is light,‘ which is the light of men shining in the clay of the visitation of his I K . spirit. He Will Send His‘ Angels to Gather «His Elect. Matt. 24-31. If E are now verging on and into the most. prophetic and’ most momentous time of the gospel age, viz., the time of visitation spoken pf since the world began. Hosea 9-7. ‘For he declared the end from the beginning, and all are written for us upon whom the ends of the world have come. 1 Cor. 10-11. The time of ingathering, and a time oi judgment. a.time of clearing away, and a time of war in all nations, and soon to be the time of the seven last plagues by‘ the seven angels, to go their way and pour out the vials of the wrath of God. Rev. 16-1. Andi-a time of. self-judgment to the elect by the living Word of God, 35 it “Y5, If We judge ourselves we shall not be judged. 1 Cor. 11-31. A time in which he will send his angels to -gather his elect from the utterinost parts of the earth to the uttermost parts of heaven. Mark 13-27. And as in the days of Noah, and as in the days of Lot, so shall it be in the coming of the son of man. Luke 17-26, 28. And as the lightning shineth from east even .1ll'lt0 the west, so shall the coming of the Son of man be. Matt. 24-27. And then he shall send his inor crying, neither shall there be M? the ‘h’ I ; d h re the body is, there will ﬁhngggcgzgtlfasgbe gratli:r:dCcttog:It]hei".v and before him shall be 6 SHIIiOH’S. MESSENGER . OF WISDOM gathered all nations; and as shown in old scripture, Unto Shiloh shall~the gathering of the people be. Gen. 49-10. And they shall be gathered in troublous times, and ﬁnally snatched‘ as brands from the burning pile, (Amos 4-11,) and I Will keep them as a shepherd keepeth his ﬂock. Jer. 31-10. This great ingathering is for the purpose of prepar- ing them for the life of body, soul and spirit, that after the deluge of fire and water, as in days of Noah, and as of I.ot, when the five cities were destroyed by fire, as ensamples and all object lessons for us upon whom the end has come, and time of the visitation of -his Spirit of truth, when the mysteries shall be unsealed and made plain, to be understood, and the door of life and immortality opened. The warning cry has been heralded forth: Come out from her, my people, and be not partakers of her sins, that ye receive not of her plagues, for her judgments shall come in one hour! I Will Make a New Covenant With, the House of Israel, When I ‘Shall Take Away Their Sins.. Rom. 11-26, 27. ' THEREFORE as one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and as Jesus said: Are there not twelve hours in a day? therefore divide one thousand years, i. e., a day, by twelve, and you will ﬁnd 83 years and 4 months is one hour of a day of the Lord’s time. This time of visitation has been, and now is, and is to come; as Jesus said, speaking of that Spirit of truth: If I come in the second watch or if in the third watch, blessed are those servants so fbund“ doing. His reward is with him, and his work before him. Rev. 22-12. Therefore it has been going on during the second and third watches of the eleventh hour—(Matt. 20-6, 9)— the laborers of the vineyard. And the work of ingathering has been, and is going on, and will continue in a time of trouble until the elect 144,000 are gathered and sealed unto himself; as it”:-is also written: I will make a new covenant with the-,hoiise“of~ Israel, when I shall take away their sins, and I will iwkite -my law in their hearts, and stamp them upon their this is the seal of _the forehead. Rev. 14-1.‘ ' n'd I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people. Heb. 8-10. And when the Seventh Angel completes his sounding, the kingdoms of 1122': world (not some other world, but ﬁzz"; world) are become the king- doms of our Lord, and his Christ, bringing in the seventh day sabbath of rest; and so it) is written concerning his ﬁrst coming and his second. In his first Jesus said: How oft would I have gathered you, as a hen gathererh her chickens under her wing,'but ye would not; (Luke 13-34;) and said, Had they been mindful of the day of visitation, and the. things which belong to their peace. And he said: Come, take my yoke upon you, and learn ‘of me, and I will give you rest; but they would not. Afterwards Paul re- ferred to it, and said: Had Jesus given them rest, would he not afterwards have spoken of another day? Seeing they cntered not into rest, there yet remaineth a sabbath of rest for the people of God. Heb. 4-9. Notwithstanding, before this can be fully established, there must of a necessity be a time of trouble such as never was, no nor ever shall be. Dan. ‘12-1. The kingdoms of this world shall pass away, and there shall be another kingdom, which shall be an ever- lasting kingdom, which shall not pass away. Dan. 4-34, 1-27., And when all tears shall be wiped off all faces, and CONCERNING THE GREAT WORK ‘or THE INEATHERING. E wish to make it known to all, that in all of our publications .._we simply set forth the plain scriptures showing forth life -,etcrnal, and ingailiering and restoration of the elect seed of Israel, and spirits of the just. Israel's literature and preaching is given mil. to the public in general; and as teaching and preaching without persuasion in any way, that all and each and every individual might oqfnsider it according to their own will and according to their own mnd, according to the constitution of America, that each a'nd every person may worship 3C(50I‘dll'!_E' to the dictates of their 0\Vl'l conscience; and that according to our faith, our preaching and teaching must be supported by the scriptures. And with it our entrciities are to the .sound_ mind, and do not iilteiiipl thcrefore to excite or work on feelings, but by faith accordinr: lo kiiowlcdge; for without faith, it is iinpossllile to plcase‘Qod: and that which is ncl of faitli is sin. Romans 14-23. W‘? believe in all being fully ]')f‘l'SIla(lP.Cl in their own mind, and prove al ll1iIl§S~\VlllL‘ll feelings, excileinent or persuasion cannot do. And we furtlicrmorc know, those who are not thoroughly established by faith according l.O knoxvlerlzc cannol. stand. Therefore we (liscoiirrige rather than r-ncoiimnc. perlalniiig to Ulr’ll' coming into the ingatherlna like Elliali, v-bu lrinrl to keep them back: and like Jesus with the persistent \\‘Iil!'Jill, lrhnrl to keep her back from follmyingz and with the man \vlio wzinlwl Io follow, to whom he said, The foxes have holes and ibc'birds have nests, but the Fan of niaii has no rilzicu lo lay his lieail!— which was the condition of this Messenger, the True Stranger, for many years before the ingaihcriiig began. Yo"l. no scriptiirc is of a private interprciuiioii. lie liavlng no place to lay his head, sign cs, he nor his Leacliing was r‘ ‘l‘\(‘ll by the natural world, as min by nature cannot find out the l.lll of God; and the world loves its own.

Bill when he travelled, and like lsraclilc preachers today who follow him and preach his gospel of grace and truth, are not received in a general way. Ilowever, let us get back to lllf’ main issue of what we wish to con\'r_-y, which is: This gospel of the kingdom must be preached, which is to be put within man, rt-mlering lilm immortal; as this mortal musl. pul on iiiiriioriziiiiy iii the sound of this seventh and last trump; for when he begins to sound, the mystery shall be ilnisheEi._ Rev. i0-'1. And my sheep know m_v voice, and a slrringer they will not follow~this being the voice of the True Stranger. Jesus the True Shcplierd said, The words I speak, they are spirit and they are life. Therefore we understand that the true sheep of the house of Israel know the voice, and need no persuasion, for it is written, I will have a willing il€0Ill€ in l-he day Of my power. Psa. iiO—3. For how can a man come unto me except the Father who sent me draw him? John 6-“. Knowing this rule of faith. why would we unduly persuade? A true Israelite will not do it, And we furthermore offer no personal inducements. And so it is written, Seek not the bread that perlsheili, but seek first the kingdom of God and his righleoiisness, and all things shall be iidded unto you. And it conveys the life of the body, for If we gain the whole world and lose ourselves. what would ii prom‘! And Published at , Ionian Harbor, Michigan, U.8.A. i'f we lose the body. how could tin meek inherit the earth, if his bad? is lost? To him that over-comcih Sll8ll‘lfIhEI'Il, all l_lllIl8S.

On Inc oilicr liuud, such as are estaiblisllcll. illlll 001118. they simply come into the coiniiiciiwealili of Israel, freely and wholly of mail- own free will, according to tile apostolic plan, as gm-,ii in Acts 2-H, and according to the one lillllll)’ of God. Andiwe do not reckon such as a sacriﬁce. because they eunie as ii iiiciiibcr. .\ni.i wny is it not reasonable to bring their means with ilieiii‘! Paul says, i'reseiii your bodies a living saci-iilcc, holy and acceptable wiili bod, wliicli is your reasonable service. And Israel shall see H0 W t‘.i‘c \_vliun the Lord brings again Zion. Isa. 52-8. We uiidcrsl.iiii<l iiie proiiiiscs held out in scripture, and we do not add to nor take iroiii the tliiiisii Written therein. ’I'lierefore we do not make a personal promise, not unduly persuade, knowing the scriptures teach and set forth conditions in which all work out their salvation, and must. come up to the conditions rc<rui'i'cd of Goa, Tlierefoi-e the proinises are to ibe overconicr, as faith wiilioui. works is dead. Tliercicre we hold out no natural _i'nIluc€in€HlS 0!‘ material blessings, or choice places or front seats. knowing Wllal JESUS said concerning back seats. and coming to the front according to merlL—— faith and works and the bidding of God, as Jesus took the f0i'm_of a servant, and learned obedience by the things be siiffered; being subject. to the laws and powers that be. for it says they are ordained of God—and law abiding according to the gospel rule. and the rammin- wealili fund, received by those who enter into it by l'<’l_llll. established upon the scriptures, and of their own free will, having been fully persuaded in their own mind, and that of themselves, andnvliicli they hereby acknowledge that they understand it -W91‘ hail“!-' Wefiillv studied this great spiritual visitation with the S('I'l[lllll‘(‘S, and are now acting by faith to be proven by works, as lllf‘ body» V\‘llll0Ul ll1‘3 _SDll‘ll£ is dead, so_ faith without works is dead—ki10wing_ llll‘ soul salvation is 51 free gift of grace, and the life of the body by faith and works, as Jesus said, The works I do sliali ye do. John ii-12, And that “I understand the work to be 3 5g1{_5acr-iﬂcing work—giving up all for the kingdom's sake_ and therefore bringing myself and my all into the common-wealth, of the house of Israel, and to abide by the rules and regiilalions of the House of David; knowing the scriptures say, There shall be a cleansing fountain open in the House of David. and as Jesus clearly showed an ingaihering and restoration of Israel; having read the literature published- by the House of David, which leaves it up to me without offering any further inducements or persuasion, and without. personal promises of any description; and that I understand the park which is advertised by the House of David to be for the general public, and not private beneﬁts or pleasures of the House of David or any of its members in any particular." Any home members, or members in general visiting the park, are _ as public visitors while doing so; not prohibited liowever—nol but while doing so it is understood to be on equal basis with the general public, and on their o\vn responsibility; no special privileges more than is to the general public. Notwltlislaiidlng the Park Springs of Eden is a private park, and its income belongs to the commonwealth of Israel, The preachers sent out by I e House of David are forbidden to ask any one to come to the House of David, or induce or persuade in any manner. They are instructed to simply preach the word of God rightly divided, and leave it with them. This work of lngaihering is preparatory to the establishment of the kingdom of God on earth in peace and in righteousness; and “before coming to the ingsinering I understand its purposes according to the scriptures, and that all I possess is to be turned into the commonwealth for the work, and to be used for the work of ingailiering, nor to ever liereafier set up any personal claim regarding it." In this visitation, during the time of the sounding seven angel messengers, it has ever been understood that there was to be no persuasion whatever; but under the foregoing nicssengers rathe! discourage, chiefly because ll. was not the time for ingatliering under their ministry, as their publications show clear and plain that the gathering was not to take place until the Seventh Angel Messenger began to sound. Notwithstanding even now, under this message, It is strictly against our faith and gospel rule to use any persuasion in any manner whatsoever, or hold out inducements unduly, outside of scripture teaching, for ‘many reasons, knowing this ingailiering is for preparation by this visitation, and the cleansing fountain; as all are born in sin by nature, and therefore nothing can remain except by faith proven liy works, as gold is tried in the fire, and i-cllncd as silver. Zech. 13-9. And as be is spoken of as a great Shepherd. separating the sheep from the goats, lldereforc this instrunit-iit or article will begin its work informing each and every one that this step for entering this ingatliering must be by faith, separately and individually, wholly by understanding and that of themselves, and not by another encouraging or discouraging. These seeing this great faith through the \Vord need no encouraging or discouraging. \Vhy' would we take pleasure in unbelief, coming and going, making trouble unnecessarily, both for themselves and others? Therefore we give no place for unbelief, for without faith it is impossible to please God. 0 As ensamples, referring to the past. when Mary and Benjamin went to Australia, to the members under one of the former messengers, they brought eigl1ty—flve people with them; and not one of them had been informed by Mary and Benjamin concerning how we were fixed in the [way of providing for them. And they were surprised upon tlicir arrival at the House of David; and many of them said they expected accommoda- ‘ll0I_1Sl0 be poor, and expected to sleep on a board or something similar. This is to show our methods have been, and still are, purely from the icripture standpoint; and_tliis is taught. pure and in all simplicity, for the ingdom s sake. Jesus said, Seek not for_tl1e bread that perishetli, but for the bread which the Son of man shall give; and by this bread which is In Jesus Christ, we may eat thereof and live for ever. Jbhn 6-51 And furtl1ei'mO1'e be said, He knowetli what. you stand in need of There- fgre seek lye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness‘ and all lugs sha I be added unto on; Mail. 6-3 ; ‘ ' - the earth. Matt. EH5. Y ( 3 ) for the meek shall inherit. We simply preach the kingdom of God and his righteousness, that no one be blamed. Any one who comes to the ingathering must understand, that they after-wards bring not a railing accusation In case Of 00mins. before Wlllclli 01‘ ﬁller, Sign to this great. truth now set forth’ and in the event of marrying or choice of anv description it must be by their own act and free will, that no one be blamed in any ‘way or manner wliaisoever.

This is gospel rule, and according to rule of faith. and according to the constitution of the United States of America‘ therefore we believe we should be subject to the powers thai be, for: they are ordained of God, and uphold the law of righteousness, and keep it which is ordained of God. Rom. I3-l. IlllPOR'l‘All_'l‘_ NOTICE !

HOUSANDS today look for Christ’s coming, but do they understand the time and manner in which he comes? This is the most important thing——to be ready. But we can only just brieﬂy bring a few scripture statements to bear upon this great subject, for two reasons: First, because time would fail us at present; and secondly, because many things pertaining to these unspeakable words are not lawful to be uttered in the outer court. 2 Cor. 12-4. The Spirit of truth which was to be sent, and has now come, must gen-. tly lead his people in the way of all truth as they are able to receive it. Yet they are to be led in the way'of all truth and shown things to come, but not all at once——it must Jesus Came to Abolish Death, and Destroy Him Who Hath Power of Death, Which Is the Devil. Heb. 2-14. ESUS said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel; (Matt. 15-24;)'b11t while the sheep are scattered over the mountains of Christendom, we must say, I have many things to say, but you cannot bear them now.

And .there were sealed‘ 144,ooc>—which shall be the manifestation of the sons of God. Rom. 8-19. The first coming was for the soul by the atonement— a free gift of grace without works, lest any man should boast; and he laid the plans for the second coming, to receive his elect unto himself. John 14-3._ Therefore he comes the second time without sin unto salvation. And the sec- ond coming therefore is for the body, for he is the head of the church and saviour of the body; (Eph. 5-23;) and the time is shortened for the elect’s sake, or no ﬂesh would be saved. Matt. 24-22. Therefore the promise is the re- demption of @116 body. Romans 8-23. To say nothing of the types and shadows of these better things to come, set forth in the old scriptures by Moses"and the prophets, let us behold the gospel in all of its beauty, pertaining to this great subject; then you will better understand the law and the time of the end of the old world of sin, and the new which must now come in, and be made ready for his coming; for he comes to receive his bride, who must be like him when he brings the great change from mortal to immortality. Now listen! He came to abolish death and to destroy him who had power of death, which is the devil, (Heb. 2- 14,) and -to bring life and immortality to light through the gospel-——thus showing this is yet to be fulﬁlled, because death is not yet abolished, and the devil is not yet destroyed. And remember, it is written of Jesus, He only hath immortality; but as the promise is, This mortal shall put on immortality, it stands a proof that it is yet to be fulﬁlled in this second coming. But they must be gathered and made ready. Ezelt. 34-13. The Last Enemy That Shall Be Destroyed Is Death. 1 Cor. 15-26. SEEING this is a plain proposition, we would ask, what was the gospel given for, if it is not to be fulﬁlled by his elect, whom he foreordained and did predestinate to be confonned to the iiriage of his son, (Rom. 8-29,) who only hath immortality? And as there was a manifestation of (WHEN THE SON or MAN SHALL COME — THE SHEPHERD or ISRAEL +- rm SHEEP SHALL BE GATHERED FROM AMONG THE ‘I Q NATIONS; AND HE SHALL KEEP THEM AS A SHEPHERD DOTH ‘iiis FLOCK.. JER. 31-10. one son-—the ﬁrstborn among many brethren—so there must be a manifestation of the Second, and the sons of God, who shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. Rom. 8-21. And; so it is written, I considered all the living which wall: un- der the sun with the Second Child who shall stand up in his stead. Eecl. 4-15. And as Jesus is the root and offspring" of David, the bright and morning star, (Rev. 22-16,) what about the Branch who shall grow up out of his place, and build the temple of the Lord? Zech. 6-12. And this is called the Man-Branch. Jesus was the root; and he said, by the spirit of God, which was Christ, I am the true vine, and ye are‘ the branches; and the branches are the elect— the seed which was to come to whom the promise was made ;. (Gal. 3-19;) and they will fulﬁll law and gospel, as they sing the song of Moses and the Lamb. Rev. 15-3. And so it is written, The law of the Spirit of life shall set you - free from the law of sin and death. Rom. 8-2. And so death - will be abolished—the last enemy that shall be destroyed is death, (1 Cor. 15-26',)—and the ,—‘ilcvil destroyed. _'Jesus Spoke of the Coming of the Sonof Man; and Before Him Shall the People Be Gathered.

And Paul said: First that which is natural and after that which is spiritual, and-so in consideration of the old fallen world, which came in this cycle first, and after which that which is spiritual; and they‘ being both natural and spiritual understood both natural and spiritual thinvs, but not all at once; must grow in grace and the knowledge {hf I the.truth. 2 Peter 3-18. Therefore Israel are born first natural—born in sin, and afterwards become spiri_tual ‘by the visitation of the spirit of truth which guides them in the l way of all truth. And concemimg the old world which came in first, it says, The first Adam is of the earth, earthy, but the latter Adam is a quickening spirit, the Lord from heaven, And therefore as the old Adamic world is of the earth earthy, and being deceived and by transgression return to dust and corruption, and cannot inherit, so the world was A _ made for Israel’s sake, and they work with him in the crea- tion arid shall inherit all things. And so by inheritance Jesus the ﬁrstborn obtained a much more excellent name than the angels, for they sold their inheritance and wanted Jesus to do the same, but as he did not sell his rights and title he inherited the land for himself and his household of faith, who do the works he did, and greater works because of more to overcome, and by faith and works will prove their inheritance to the land of promise—heirs of God, and joint heirs with Jesus Christ, sons of God, redeemed from -among men. And so the election hath obtained Eden’s paradisical land of promise restored.

GOING back to call attention to the place of darkness where those of ﬂesh migrate only conﬁrms what I have before _ said in the BALL or FIRE, pertaining to the black fallen angels ' -of night, made in darkness, and from others separated be- tween light and darkness, and day and night, the place of gloom; and Israel the children of light, and of the day, kept back and sent in this the time of the end to be puriﬁed. It must be remembered no unclean thing, no reprobate, no darkness can enter the gates of ﬂaming ﬁre into the city of light. Therefore there must of a necessity be a prepara- tion for Israel; and as Israel are called out from the world and yet cannot enter into the new world until prepared, and therefore there must be a place prepared between the two worlds for separation, and preparation, and a proving and a cruciﬁxion, and a battling, and struggling, as two nations in the womb of providence, struggling and to be separated. Therefore in the proving make your calling and election sure. See to your lamps, that a goodly supply of oil is in your vessels, and your lamps trimmed, as wise vir- gins.’ If your lamps are burning bright you.can_see your way - clearly. Watch that your light be not turned into darkness, ’ and the last state be worse thah the ﬁrst. Know ye not in *- the midst of darkness God said: Let there be light, and there was light, and that the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters? And that after the beastlypcreation God said: Let us make man in our image and after our likeness? And that the thing which has been shall be, and that he considered all who walk under the Sun Wlth the Second Child who standeth up instead of Satan ?.

Let us still bear in mind, the visible things show forth the invisible, and even the eternal power and Godhead; and the four winds bear up the earth and the ﬁnnament of heaven, and arises in the midst of heaven and of earth; and the midst opening in the east and sunrise of heaven originally, and must return back to its proper place, and behold the earth restored for the new creation of God. The winds rising in the midst of earth and heaven constitute the pillars of heaven. And the winds turn the sky, and cause the orb of the sun and all the stars to set. mountains of stone; and -the middle one, which is the sev- enth, reached to heaven, like the throne of God; and a blazing ﬁre over all the mountains. < The Old Red Dragon To Be Bound a Thousand Years Sabbath of Rest. ' Revelation 20-2. IN the place of desolation with no firmameiit of heaven above, nor solid earth beneath, and no waters above, there- fore no refreshing showers of blessing. And seven stars, like great blazing mountains, and like spirits entreating. And the angel said: This place shall be the prison of the stars, and the host of heaven, i. e., the prison of the fallen angels and their host, until the consummation of heaven and earth. And these are theylwho roll over’ ﬁre and transgressed the comrnaridments of God before their time, and came not in their proper season. Therefore he was offended with them, and bound them until the period of the consummation of their crimes in the secret year. And this is the place where they appointed their leaders, ‘ and descended upon the mountain. Therefore we ﬁnd the remote and ﬁrst cause of their fall which was followed by untimely births, and with- out waiting for the Creator's command. They agreed and appointed their leaders, as gods, and came before their ap- pointed time, and therefore were turned over to hardness of heart and reprobate mind. Therefore in spirit trans- gressed before their time, for they came not in their proper season; and so the legion which said: VVe are many! cried out and said to Jesus: Have you come before the time? They knew about the proper time for the spirits of the just, but thought Jesus might have come before the time also. And on account of themselves -coming before their proper season, their offspring and generation of vipers, and serpent- ‘ beasts rejected the kingdom and therefore could not have - been established. Therefore two ill()L1SLlI1d years more, less 1 if the sliortenedtime for the elect's sake, and therefore the coming of the Second Child to stand up in his stead, and the old red dragon bound for a thousand years sabbath of rest in the kingdom of God. There Remaineth a Sabbath of Rest For the ‘ People of God. Hebrews 4-9. HESE few lines above are in reference to a foregoing article, concerning the kingdom which was set forth by Jesus; and he only entering. And had it been received it would have been the bringing in of tlie seventh day, counting from the beginning of the sixth day of former cycle. But on account of the agreement of the fallen angels resulting in untimely births, the kingdom was rejected by the seed and generations of the fallen angels. Notwithstanding it was offered to them, and therefore they cannot complain in the day of judgment. So it was said afterwards: Had he given them rest would he not afterwards have spoken,of another day‘? But seeing they entered not into it, there yet re- maineth a sabbath of rest for the people of God—who were foreordained and predestinated from before the world began. Again I wish to say, by their sins, both in spirit and in ﬂesh, and in their generations, they were untimely birsths pertaining to the kingdom. And even Paul said he saw Him, as one born out of due time. 1 Cor. 15-8. He had taken part in perse- 'cuting the saints, followers of Jesus, and therefore Jesus appeared in light, above the brightness of the sun, and struck Paul blind, and said: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? In one sense Paul was born out of due time, yet he was a chosen vessel to witness and testify of the power of Christ. But what was his calling? Not to bring in the Jews, synagogue of Satan. No! but to the Gentiles, the generations of Adam, and testiﬁed of Israel who would be prepared for the kingdom after the Gentiles’ fulness, ac- cording to the Word of the Lord Jesus, who said, the Holy City would be trampled under foot till the times of the Gentiles be fulﬁlled; because of the sin of coming forth before the proper time, and deceived the fallen world, it brought them also out of due time for the kingdom, and both understood in reprobate, and therefore the Gentiles believe the kingdom was established in ‘the first coming of Jesus, not understanding the nature of the kingdom.

And they who delivered Jesus into the hands of sinners hath the greater sins than the Gentiles. Here again we see ii season pertain- ing to the deceiver and the deceived. The .Jews,greutly of~ fended, and therefore an untimely birth of Gentiles or the deceived of the Adamic world would he better than the offence and sin of the Jews. They condemned him, and the Gentiles, being deceived, cruciﬁed hini. Therefore from the original sins of the fallen angels their sins were visited upon their generations, and which were manifested by rhc Jews who condemned Jesus who offered the kingdom by the command of Christ and the paradisical law. And they refused to take on his yoke and said: VVe will not have this man, Jesus, to rule over us. Therefore cried out and And so Jesus rightly said, they are of their father the devil and of his works will they do. And so they have in every age of the world, and even to this.very day, andthe more, knowing their time is short; and therefore their judgment follows them in all their generations, and sins visited, but not without a cause; and for this cause in their untimely conception, brought, forth in sorrow, and sorrow multiplied down the ages of time, unto the judgment of the great day. They ‘broke the sabbath in sin, and afterwards rejected the=sabbath to come, and therefore will not ascend into the heaven of the sabbath that yet remaineth for the people of God, and spirits of the just. And there- fore in the, end break it again, and all enter into the great ﬁnal judgment; and so it is written, They shall not obtain rest, i. e.,. in body, and not in spirit until for ever be completed, and the consummation and restitution of all things. Therefore restoration and restitution and consum- mation do not mean the same thing, and vary in their dif- fcrent meanings. There shall be a restoration of Israel and the earth restored now by this visitation, and yet not in ful- ness till the full restitution of all things in the consummation of the cycle ofitime. And even at that it includes different kinds and classes, and differ in glory, etc. And there were different companies of fallen angels, and different places, and also for the souls and spirits of the de- ceived, as I have zilready made mention; and three different places of which seven stars were bound. The second place where nothing was completed, and where there was neither a tremendous workiiianship of an exalted heaven, nor ofan established earth. but Ll desolate spot, prepared, and temihc. And here also were seven stars of heaven bound together like great mountains, and like blazing ﬁre. And it was said: These are those of the stars which have transgressed the com- mandments of the Most High God, and as before I have pointed out-—lords and gods of high stations. And here I call attention to the iVIost High God; and for this species of crime these seven stars were bound in this terriﬁc place until the inﬁnite number of days of their crime he completed. And from thence to another terriﬁc place ‘ spoken of here, and the operation of a blazing ﬁre, and glit- tering, and in the midst of which there was a division. Columns of ﬁre struggled together to the end of the abyss, and deep was the descent. This was a place of suffering, and the prison of the angels, and here are they kept for ever. The Thief Cometh Not But to Kill and To Destroy—Which Was the Devil, or the Enemy Who Sowed Tares. . John 10-10; Matt. 13-39. reference to the cross upon which Jesus was cruciﬁed, IN shown before. Its origin was in the crossing contrary to_thc paradisical law, and in the original sin of Gadrel and Eve. 9 H And the I; which was a cross; and secondly Adam and Eve, Jews, as I have showed and proven, descended from Gadrel and the ‘fallen angels by cross. ‘ And the Jews instituted the crosses to crucify thieves; and therefore the two thieves between which Jesus was cruciﬁed, caused by the mfxing of Jews and Gentiles, originally from Gadrel and Eve and Adam. And so Eve said: The serpent beguiled me; and Adam hhhhed G0ds S’<1}‘iI1g: It was the woman thou gavest me. God gave the woman to Adam for good, but she being deceived was in the transgression of the cross, for the para‘ . disical law set forth that all and each and every kind should hhhfé forth afttr their own kind. And so God said: Shah if I glve, Ih)’ h1'§t‘h01'_I1, for my transgression, the fruit of ml’ I body for the sin of my soul‘? which was accomplished when — Jesus was cruciﬁed on the cross, and between two thieves, which originally was the cause, as Jesus said, The thief cometh not but to kill and to destroy, and which was the devil, V Or the enemy which sowed the tares, poison seed which was Shwh hy Gﬂdfeli the serpent-beast, and followed bv the hlheh hhgel5a Who Went in unto the daughters of men: i- C" the daughters in the generation of Adaiii and Eve; and 50 continued the cross and ﬁlled the world with cross crossing , cross. for which Jesus, the pure seed, purified and separated hi’ the lhw “hd the P0W€r of Christ, and was born puflhcd from evil taint of the Jews, and She was °"”5h"hl0““Cd by the. power of the liitlhes And the Child was conceived and brought forth without evil. \ And to offend one of ' these little ones, which by iﬂt*«’TP1'5mh°h Slghlhes the elect here I wish to show its origin, different to what I have ' , '_ _ And the virgin _\lar_Vs ‘Vhoi kept the law of purifying, the Holy Ghost came upon her " / t V JERUSALEM, 5TH MONTH six'rnEN'rii YEAR OF THE NEW (JHEATION SHILOH’S MESSENGER OF WISDOM Published at pm; 3 Benton Harbor.

U-8-I« and therefore was firstborn in this cycle; and so God said: " Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of « my body for the sin of my soul ‘?——Adam and of course Eve, being his 50111: for he was called living soul. The First Cause of the Cross. THEREFORE you may clearly see the first cause of the cross, and therefore his blood received from the woman, M319’, thﬁ virgin, atoned for thesln of Eve, and therefore re- deemed all under the fall, i. e., their, souls. And therefore foreknowing this, he called Adam and the Adamic world liv- ing soul. Adam in the fomier cycle was made without soul and raised from animal blood, without soul. But Eve, with soul, called mother of all living (soul) to be under the fall, gave to Adam, and he partook of ‘blood containing soul, and therefore was called living soul. I might say here, Esdras, in speaking of Adam before the fall, ‘and before he contracted. soul life, said Adam was made without soul. and became living before him. God breathed into him the breath of life, and he became living before me. This was when Adam was raised in the former cycle before the sabbath. Now notice the language of this given in Genesis: God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and he became living soul. Notice again, he cm/nu living soul, i. e., afterwards, and a long time after! And the souls of the Adamic world became corrupted in the blood of the fall, by and through the cross between Gadrel, the serpent beast, who came forth with Adam, as shown in the Book of Jasher, and by the cross crossing cross in the mixing between the Gadrel fallen angels and the Adamic world. There must of a necessity be a redemption of soul, because God said, All souls are mine, and must be saved in resurrection; and so it says: By the sin of one man. many were made sinners, so by the righteousness of one. many are made righteous; for righteousness was im- puted to the Gentiles, a free gift of grace. So in Adam all die, but Christ redeems all souls. And in Christ all shall be made alive. Israel, born in sin, are dead, but shall be made alive by :1 visitation of life. And so he breathes into them the breath of life, and quicl-zens our mortal bodies by his spirit that dwells in us. " He Is Called Both the Iiicorruptible and Im- mortal God. "Rom. 1-23; 1 Tim. 1-17. HEREFORE as the first Adam and the Adamic world are of the earth, earthy, so the latter Adam is a quickening spirit, the Lord from heaven. But what will he quicken‘? It says, Quicken your mortal body by his spirit, etc. And as Adam was called living soul. so the latter Adam became living body made iiriinortal, as we have shown: Shall I give the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul ‘?—which was Adam, living soul, who transgressed. But Jesus poured his soul unto death, but raised and became both Lord and Christ, and head of the church and saviour of the body, (Eph. 5-23,) so from his side came forth blood and water; the water was his soul substancq separated from the blood, and which was quickened, forming his spiritual body. Nevertheless he poured out his soul unto death, and his blood also, for the blood was originally handed down by Eve, and through the generations under the law, separated, and on the cross the , soul separated from the blood received by the woman. His spirit raised and quickened the soul, with which he went and preached to the spirits in prison, who had died while the long-suffering of God waited in the days of Noah, and those who worked with Michael and Gabriel and the ' holy angels, and were taken by death, while the long.-suffering of God waited, that they might escape the impending judg- ments of the ﬂood. Therefore Michael with the quickened soul preached the free gift just completed, that they might be judged in spirit, according to men in the ﬂesh, and live accord- ‘ ing to God in spirit; and with this spiritual body he returned and showed it to the woman, which completed the fall and the rise, in which the woman was instrumental. But now it must be noticed with more importance, that Christ, by whom the worlds were made, quickened and .f3l5€d the b°dY ml’ mortal and showed himself and ‘said: Handle me; reach hither thy hand and feel, for a spirit hath not flesh and b0n€ as you see me have. But with the soul, spiritual body, celestial, to the women he said: Touch me not. f01’ I h3VC not yet ascended to my God, and to your . . is clearly manifest that be conveyed by this, ﬂint Wlth l:"5 spiritual body he was their God, i. e., those for soul, celestial ’ glory; and his God was in the personality of ﬂesh and b0I1€r the temple of God, and yet his ascension, full and complethe, took place afterwards. And before the ﬁnal ascension he Showed himsdf for 40 days in the kingdom of (rod, anhd e kingdom of God in him.

Strange as it may appear in all the dreadful sights, and more exceedingly glorious sights shown to Enoch, by the archangels, they most always, and each and every time they would ask Enoch. when he made inquiries: Why are you desirous to know about these things‘? The great question is from what motive. since the fallen angels turned traitor and reprobating everything. Book of Enoch 16-3. And it follows throiifrhout all the scriptures, borrowing light and knowledge and reprobating it, therefore a cautious instruc- tion is commanded lest they reprobate, and turn and rend you, and turn every thing into another meaning. Therefore the mysteries of the scriptures are wisely sealed from the fallen world, and to this day even in the ingathering of this visitation they turn reprobate, and most always to the hurt against those who stand loyal ,.to the true vis- itation of light and knowledge, which rises from impure motives, and most assuredly reprobates on them. And the light turns into darkness—and reprobatg knowledge, wresting the visitation to their 0 destruction. And it becomes contagious and works ‘as a leaven till it becomes common to not only ask: Why' is this‘? Why is that? And‘ in fact question almost everything. And the proper answer is: VVhy are you desirous to know‘? Add in natural work there must of a necessity be unhandy things.

And if you do not know, why qiiestion or complain‘? -Some one else might know; and per- taining to spiritual and natural things, questions might be asked, without brain to comprehend if it was answered. And if things on these lines or any other line do not suit you and might be a trial, and complain or question it, I wish to say: Such is not the question. Well, may I ask, what is the ques- tion? This is the question, and worthy of all acceptation: Israel must be tried and proven. If any thing causes you to rebel or feel rebellioiis, then it is a sure proof that the thing was necessary, notwithstanding it may not have been intended for that. And therefore why kick‘? VVhy should the Mes- senger run about and try to find out who it suits; should he do this or that‘? Or why look to the right to catch a smile of approval, or to the left to catch a frown? Do vou think he was sent to be ministered unto, or to minister‘? ‘Was not rebellion the original sin‘? And whatsoever the controversv might be—who is right? Did not God form the light and create darkness’? It is so shown in the Gospel that the greatest darkness is created by the light. Does it not say, If the light which be in you be turned into darkness, how great .. . . ‘-7 Y ‘ ? is that darkness‘? 'Ihen was it not created bl’ éhe nlfigtn And the greater the light, the greater the con Cm < ’ v Blessed Is He That Is Not Offendedi In Me-' Matthew 11-6. THEREFORE I form the light, and create darkness, I make v peace and by that create evil. Blessed are the peaCem3k€1'5§ and blessed are they who are not offended in me. Matt. 1 1-6. And it says, It needs be that offence cometh,'but woe to him by whom it comes, for to offend one of these littleones, bﬂtter a millstone be tied about his neck and he be cast into the 568- Matt. 18-6. But rightly divide. The little ones spoken of. are meant to be in the visitation; and the offence comes by x Satan, because of the visitation, and against the visitation- And the little child prefigured the Second Child who was sent in his name, and offence-——an untimely birth would be better. One phase of it is that had he been born out of his time he would not have been in his presence to offend. Or these born and come into this ingathering and offend, an un- timely birth would have been better. Eccl. 6-3. Therefore there are many ways of untimely births. But if the Son of man offends you, is it a question of who is right‘? No! It is this: Blessed are they who are not offended in me. Yeti sin against the Son of man shall be forgiven, and if this was not a law of love who would be saved at all? Even the disciples of Jesus would have been lost. But Jesus forgave them; and in fact all sin ‘is against the Son of man, for is he not that Spirit of truth ‘.Z'—and sin is against it. Is he not of God? Well is not sin against God‘? And so it is written: He that sinneth is of the devil; and the devil is against God. ‘But the elect’ spirits of the just must and will overcome it and go on to perfection. And here again we see another meaning to the doctrine of Christ, because the doctrine 'of Christ is love, and to forgive sins. Therefore cease impos- ing upon it by ceasing to sin, and go on to perfection, leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ by expecting to be” forgiven, and therefore continue sinnirig and laying again and again the foundation of dead works, for the gifts and calling of God are without, repentance. And remember repentance shall be hid from mine eyes. When? VV hen the gates are closed. Therefore make your calling and election sure, before’ they close. And for a time, sin against the Son of man shall be forgiven, and even at any t_ime it might run into the sin against the Holy Ghost, for they are closely, connected, as the visitation of the Holy Ghost, Spirit.of truth, is revealed through him. Therefore after having‘ tasted of the good Word of God and the power of the world to come, and wilfully (deny) and sin against it,‘saying: It is of Satan, shall not be forgiven in this world nor in, the world to come; (Luke 12-10;) for this, is the worst of’ reprobation, and the light turned into ,darkness, and how\ great is that darkness!

GETTING back to Enoch and the archangels showing and teaching, and when he asked they answered, Why do you Wish to know? Erioch had a chance to be deceived by the fallen angels. They were at their work in his day of mortal life, but it may be noticed he rebuked them. Yet with their apparent repentance he carrieda message for them. Well this was better than to have railed on them, for-.God hates :1 railing spirit. Notwithstanding all this, these archangels who accompanied Enoch knew what manner of spirit he was. ‘ Still they asked: Why are you so desirous to know? as a proof they informed him. Yet there were many traitors against heavens and e.V€I1 to this day; but the Ball of Fire will burn them up, and this Ball of Fire will consume the — evil and protect the righteous.

And, this spirit rested and remainedaupon Jesus, the Son of man, as a creature and des- cendant of the Adamic race; and therefore became both Son of man and son of God. Acts 2-36; 5-30, 31.

A Sabbath of Rest Remaineth for the People of God. Heb. 4-8,-9. it be understood that in the beginning of the crea- tion we behold the six days, spoken of as the six thousand years, according to the keys, (which was shown to be six thousand years creation,) and God ended his work on the seventh-—to be a sabbath of rest from the six thousand years labor and toil under the curse, (Heb. 4-9,) which came upon the creation of the old world by sin; and the planet cursed to bring forth thistles and fhorns, and her increase of beauty and seven-fold blessing blighted, (Gen. 3-18,) till the day . of rest which yet remaineth for the people of God, when man shall be redeemed from the curse of the fall. Then there shall be no more curse, (Rev. 22-3,) and all tears shall be wiped fromuall faces, and there shall be no more sorrow nor crying, neither‘ shall there‘ be any more death, for the former things shall havopassed away. Rev. 21-4. ’And the planet, which came under the curse because of sin, shall then be redeemed also,‘ and the curse removed; and instead of the brier shall grow up the myrtle tree, and the desert shall bloom in roses,.and produce seven-fold above that which she has under the fall. And in this seventh thousand years millennium day of Christ’s reig"n on earth, while Satan’ is bound, the knowledge of God shall cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. Isa. 11-9. v < We can only brief along the line, but hope you will follow us closely and rightly divide, as we note the dif- ference between the immortality of the body, soul and spirit for the living, and incorruptibility for the soul of the dead. Therefore there is a body celestial and a body terrestrial; and the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terres- trial is another.. Therefore we must not confound the two, but rightly divide. And so it is written, There are many mansions in my Eather’s house; if it were not so, I would have told you. Therefore, there are the glories, compared to sun, moon and stars in its two-fold meaning, to be seen manifested on earth in bodies, and in the spiritual as angels (which you will see are not sons); but the glory of the sun will be manifest in the sons of God,»as with Jesus, the firstborn among the many brethren. But as to Jesus, few have ever fully understood his divine mission; as he was a representative of both God and man, inasmuch as he was the s'eed of the woman, in which the spirit of- God was manifest; as it is written, In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was ‘with God, and the Word was God, and the, Word took upon itself ﬂesh and dwelt among men. John 1-1, 4; 1 John 5-6. And Paul says, He was made :1 little i lower than the angels, (Heb. 2, 7-9,) and took upon himself the likeness of sinful ﬂesh—yet without sin, (Rom. 8-3,) being made by the righteousness of the law. The Earnest Expectation of the Creature Waiteth for the Manifestation of the Sons of God. Rom. 8-19. UT let us notice a‘ better and much brighter side of this pattern and waymark. he was made lower than the angels in inortal ﬂesh, subject to the death of the cross, we must also notice that he was raised higher than the a ls, crowned with honor and glory in im- mortality, and is seated at the right hand of the Father as our High Priest and King. And why and how was he raised higher than angels? Because he, through keeping the law, and doing the will of his Father, retained his body of ﬂesh and bone in which Christ was gloriﬁed; (John 12-28;) which temple saw not corruption. Acts 2-31. Jesus, as a creature, or seed of the woman, and root and offspring of David, was a man (called Son of man) composed of three parts—- spirit, soul and body——as any other man, except he had no evil in his body; and Christ was the spirit of God which was with God before the world was, and came down from God, the Father——as he said in many places. Therefore Christ was before Abraham; as he said, Before Abraham was, I am. And Christ was with Moses; for did not the apostles say, speaking of Christ, This is he which was with the church imthe wilderness? Acts 7-38. And so it is also written,,. They all drank of that spiritual Rock which fol- lowed them in the wilderness, and that Rock was Christ ; and all were baptized in the cloud and in the sea. 1 Cor: io-2. This spirit, called Christ, rested and remained upon Jesus at the river Jordan, and remained upon him (not in him) till his blood was shed; and then this spirit was put within him——which was his immortal life of the body. And the spirit of Jesus (Michael) raised his soul and showed a spirit- ual body"to the women, he being the ﬁrstfruits of them that slept. Christ raised the body of ﬂesh and bone, and showed it alive to the disciples; and his words to them were very different to what he said to the woman. You will notice he said to her, Touch me not! And why? Because he could not be handlcd—-showing what kind pf spiritual bodies they would have in the resurrection of the souls of the dead; and he therefore was the ﬁrstfruits of them that slept, or who sleep. Those who die, their souls will be raised incor- ruptible—a spiritual body, like unto the angels. Matt. 22- 30. But notice what he said when Christ appeared to the disciples: Reach hither thy hand and feel, for a Spirit hath not ﬂesh and bone as you see me have. Luke 24-39. So he was the resurrection and the life—-i. e., the res- urrection of the dead and the life for the living. And so it is written, If the spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, then the spirit of him that raised up 1 Tim. 1-16. While we see how‘ Christ (i. e. the body of Christ) from the dead, shall also quicken youir mortal bodies by his spirit that dwelleth in '[‘ﬁ(i:l:0l§;lVVi(; r11ust rightly divide between the dead and the living, and between the resurrection of the souls ‘of than which sleep, and those who will be alive and remain, and who will have their vile bodies cleansed——<:hanged from mortal to immortality; (1 Cor. 15-53;) 'r1.n<_i_th‘?“,Y°“ C311 clearly see the difference between incorrUl’t'b'1‘t.V Of the 5"“l imiin()siiiii-llitt1:Iabfb(t)l(ii<gribody, made like the Son; which will be the manifestation of the sons of God» (R°m- 8'19) who will be raised with hii11 higher fllilll the angels, and made priests and l kings.

NOWING the. time to be short, we hope one and all will do all they can for the spreading of SHILOH’S lVI1:ssr.1~'oer. or W1snoM; for 21 quick work will he make of it upon the earth, and cut it short in righteousness. Israel are now to be gathered as brands from the burning pile, as an elect remnant from the nations of the earth. I will send my angels (or messengers) to gather mine elect from the ut- termost parts of the earth to the uttermost parts of heaven. " While the judgments of God are fast increasing upon the nations of the earth, Israel will seek refuge under the shadow of his wings and enter the Ark at the call of the Master’s trumpet sound. Therefore beloveds, God requires of you to do your duty of rescuing your brothers and sisters, that they might be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the ‘glorious liberty of the children of God. Therefore every paper sent forth will accomplish that whereunto it is sent, and every subscription you obtain for SHILOH’S hlnsssuoex or VV1s- DOM will bring forth a blessing unto you whether it be received or rejected. In the end all receive their reward according as their works shall be. All things work together for good to those who love God and are so called according to his purpose. Rom. 8-2,8. Therefore let one and all do all they can in spreading the good news of SHILOH’s l\I-1;ssnNGr.R, containing the glad tidings of redemption full and complete. The call is going forth to the ends of the earth for Israe1’s ingathering and restoration from the effects of the fall. If every subscriber would send the addresses and $3.00, for ten three month’s subscriptions, or the same for five 6' month’s subscriptions, or $1.50 for five 3 month’s subscrip- tions, it would help wonderfully to spread the «Word, for the second or third copy might awaken interest, whereas :1 single copy might easily be forgotten.

Jesus 33’ Inheritance Obtained a Much More Excellent Name Than the Angels. Hebrews 1-4. . law of inheritance is a most wonderful thing, A since we see it traces back into the former cycle of time. It was shown in the parable, where two men represent- ed the two worlds. One desired his inheritance to be divided ﬁwhich was Adam. And it runs through the dispensations of time, and will be proven in this the time of the end, by this visitation. Jesus, by inheritance, obtained a much mote ex- By inheritance there is a foreordination and a predestin- ation, according to spirit, and according to seed; to whom the promise was made. Adam having an evil heart in spirit, before he fell, was due to his standing with Lucifer; and by transgression inherited evil, which worketh death——his mortal life divided from the immortal, and becomes as an angel in the resurrection. But Jesus—the firstborn son by inheritance —took not the nature of angels, but the seed of Abraham. He That Overcometh' Shall Inherit All Things. Rev. 21-7. OVV what does this signify‘? The Jews claimed to be of the seed of Abraham also. But Abraham was a ﬁgure of a higher order (opening the second dispensation of fiine), and in whom all nations were to be blcssed——but every seed after its own kind and order, running back further than Abraham. And there are different blessings. Melchisedec was of a higher order still. These orders of seed came down the line from the former age. Melchisedec was of the order of the Lord Gods, and sons of the Lord Gods. Jesus being that seed, by inheritance was made .high priest, after the order of Melchisedec, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, by reason of Christ dwell- ing in Him. The lives of the Lord Gods were eternal, and not subjected to death. Heb. 7-3. Jesus therefore liveth ever—a high priest (Christ), without father or mother of earthly lineage. And that seed of Melchisedec order therefore was handed down from the paradisical Eden age 'or sabbath day of rest, and therefore inherits immortal life. And so also with the elect seed. He taking the seed of Abraham does not prove he was not of the Melchisedec order of seed going before. Jesus said, I tell you the truth, that Abraham did not do, because it was sealed until unsealed by Jesus, who was of the Melchisedec priestly life of immor- tality; because Christ—the spirit of Paradise—was upon him. And the inheritance is the habitation-——which is the body; and such inherit all things, and are made to rule and have power and dominion over every thing of creation. And so it says, He that overcometh shall inherit all things. Therefore these who are the seed of inheritance, and children of the promise——spirits of the just——-will overcome and do the work they did in spirit; for which the promise was given. Therefore this visitation is given to them for this cause, and to this end, that they may testify unto the truth, as Jesus did, and do the works that he did, and get the glory that he got; and be made like him, and given a much more excellent name than the angels. - If God In Christ Takes Pleasure in a Body for a Habitation, Why Not We Also? Heb. 10-5. A . OVV as to inheritance, it being the body, we would ask: If God in Christ takes pleasure in a body for a habita- tion, why not we also? And think‘ it not robbery to be made equal with him—Jesus Christ—by whom the worlds were made; and they were made for Israel’s sake. If the world was made for Israel‘s sake. then we are greater than the world: and he who is inns is greater than he who is in the world——vi7.., Lucifer and Satan and his host of fallen spirits. It was desire for bodies in which to rule, to be like the Gods, that the rebellion came——through exaltation. Therefore he said, Thou shalt not die. to partzlke of that which was for- bidden—tlius ignoring the Word of God, and command of fin} Lord, It was known and iinilerstoml that the Lords of the first creation of the former cycle. were to multiply and bring forth their inia;_re——-which was the image and likeness of God in immortal life; but this was to be everything after its own kind—-no mixing seed; every seed of its own kind, befrmi it grew, to be plaiited according to the law of Christ—— _ . paradisical law, i. e., Jerusalem of Paradise. SHILOH’S MESSENGER OF WISDOM which has been sealed since the day cherubims were placed iwith ﬂaming swords to turn every way to keep the way of the tree of life. Therefore, since that time to this, it was, as said by Solomon the wise, A garden inclosed is my sister ——not a wife of youth, but a s,ister—a fountain sealed. Song of S01. 4-12. Therefore the tree of life was sealed from I:uci- fer because of rebellion; and this has been the battle ground —viz., the woman, the dividing medium of the inheritance. Now had there been no inheritance, how could Adam, have desired it to be divided‘? and how could it have been divided if there had ‘been no inheritance to divide? He ibeing immortal, therefore had an inheritance to divide; and it was through the ‘influence of Lucifer that he desired it He had not that love for God; as Jesus said, If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And this will prove the creation today, and bring the great separation of the inheritance. ‘ ‘ Lucifer having deceived’ the beast, sehpent man, by making him believe the tree of life was to be found in the tree of knowledge of good and evil, caused him to say to Eve, Thou shalt not die; but we shall be as these Gods. And since the fall, they were ashamed, and hid among the ﬂtrees, and pinned fig leaves to hide their nakedness and shame; which signified that they were unclothed With immortal life—spirit of Paradise. And in saying, “We are naked,” the Lord God said, Who told you that ‘you were naked? And it is common today to seek delusions, and hide among the trees, with fig leaves pinned on for a cloak—- no prophecy being of a private interpretation. . Satan himself being transformed as an angel of light, 'means, as an angel messenger. Therefore sincethe True Mes- senger of light and truth came forth by the Visitation Of thc true light of God, it is a common thing to see them pop -up on every side. And why? Because they can borrow from the light of the True Messenger of‘God——like the false prophets imitating the true prophets of God; because Satan C811 d0 more harm with the Word unsealed. Remember the unseal- ing of the Word is the interpretation. But make no mistake in this, and be deceived by the transformed word; for ‘the U66 of life is ever sealed from disobedience—'ever sealed from the uncleansed and the uncruciﬁed. Jesus By Obedience, in Love, Proved His Immortal Inheritance, and Became Heir ——Possessor of Heaven and Earth. Rom. 8-17; Gen.-14-19, 22. .— ESUS had two inheritances———one being the seed of Para- dise handed down by the woman; he being called the seed of the woman. took part of the nature of sinful man, inherit- ing the blood from Eve, in Mary, his earthly mother—the mother of all living who live in him.
