into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. And it is said in John, Ist chapter, and 18th verse:---"No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten son, which is in the bosom of the father he hath declared him.” This passage shews that no man in the life of the blood, hath yet seen the Lord in his glorified state, nor can see, but he that is changed, and then he is the temple of God, and God dwelleth in them and is the life of them. And he said unto Moses in Exodus, 33rd chapter, and 20th verse:---" Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me and live."* Yet Moses and the seventy elders saw him in vision. Exodus, 24th chapter, and 11th verse:---" They saw God, and did eat and drink." And Peter, James, and John, saw Jesus in his glorified state, when he was transfigured before them; but it is evident that it was only a vision, see Matthew, 17th chapter, 9th verse:-" Jesus charged them saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the son of man is risen." And it is evident that the fulness of time spoken of by Daniel, 12th chapter, and 7th verse, is to be within the sixth thousand year, for the Lord has shortened the time, for Jesus said in Mark, 13th chapter, and 20th verse:---"Except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh shall be saved." So it is evident that Israel will put on immortality, before the six thousand years be fully up, and their bodies will live by the life which is eternal. And there is a thousand years also for the aliens which is as one day with God, for they are the people which are spoken of in Isaiah, 2nd chapter, and 19th verse:---"And they shall go into the holes *Note-which meaneth in the life of the blood. of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.' And in them will the words of Joel be fulfilled, 3rd chapter, and 21st verse--" For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed. These being of the old world, being the leaves of the fig-tree. which is spoken of in Mark, 11th chapter and 13th verse:---"And seeing a fig tree a far off, having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. 14 And Jesus said, hereafter and for ever. 66 No man eat fruit of thee And his disciples heard it.' For ever, being an appointed time of God, which is the three years spoken of in the parable of the pruned fig tree, which is the figure of them, spoken of in Luke, 13th chapter, 7---9th verses :--Then said he unto the dresser, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none; cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground. And he answering, said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it and dung it: and if it bear fruit, well, and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down,' 66 The three years here spoken of, are the three generations; as also the three years spoken of by Isaiah, 37th chapter, and 30th verse: Ye shall eat this year such as groweth of itself; and the second year that which springeth of the same; and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof." And the year that the fig-tree is to be spared, is the halftime which is the thousand years, wherein it is to be dressed and pruned, and the blood cleansed by Satan being bound, and they will live a thousand years without death. Q So it is evident that there is a year accepted with God, that flesh, blood, and bone, which is the life of the mount of Esau, will serve mount Zion, by obeying the laws and commands, and will fulfill the 61st chapter of Isaiah, and 5th verse:---" And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen, and your vine dressers." For the light of the body is the eye, see Matthew, 6th chapter, and 22nd verse: but the Spirit of God is the light of mount Zion; they have no need of the sun, neither of the moon, for the glory of God enlighteneth them, see Revelation, 21st chapter, and 23rd verse. It is written in Philippians, 2nd chapter, and 16th verse:---"Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain." This proves the acceptable year of the Lord, that the promises are sent to those who ask for the fulness of his Spirit, always to rest on them. Collossians, 1st chapter, and 18th verse:--"And he is the head of the body, the church; who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have pre-eminence." This spirit which rested on the body of Jesus, is the Spirit of the seventh church, which is wrote of by John, in Revelation, 3rd chapter, and 8th verse :---“I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name." It is evident from the text, that this church could not make its appearance on this planet, until the words of Jesus is fulfilled, in Luke, 21st chapter, and 24th verse:---" Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, till the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled." Which is within the times epted is the Zion fulfil And the and new. it of по ory Ist 5th tI ot 12th chapter, and 7th which is a thousand possess the mount of that Daniel prophesies of, And likewise it is prophesied in Ecclesiastes, 4th chapter, and 15th verse:---"I considered all the living which walk under the sun, with the second child that shall stand up in his stead." Which is the fulness of the Spirit, that shall rest upon the bones of the whole house of Israel, as it rested on the body of Jesus, John 3rd chapter, and 34th verse:-"He whom God hath sent, speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him." So will he give the fulness of his Spirit to rest on the bones of Israel, and not by measure: Ephesians, 4th chapter, and 13th verse:---"Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ, of which the church of Philadelphia stood a type, being without guile; which is spoken of in Revelation, 3rd chapter, and 8th verse:---" Behold I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it." Which proves the text, the acceptable year of the Lord, and the ransomed of the Lord shall walk within it. Isaiah 66th chapter, 22nd and 23rd verses:--"For as the new heavens and the new earth which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain. And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord.' Also Isaiah, 6th chapter, and 13th verse :---“ But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof.' These two passages make it clear, to him that seeketh for the fulness of the Spirit, that the seventh church is accepted with God; and he has put all things under it, even the mount of Esau, which is man dwelling in blood, a thousand years without death; by their blood being cleansed, and Satan being removed, and the angels of heaven are put under this church. So that all things in heaven, and all on the planet shall bow before the Bride and the bridegroom. And the sabbath is the Lord's, wherein flesh. and blood shall obey all his righteous acts; and fulfil his law and gospel for a thousand years, while Satan is bound, that the author of all sin may be proved, whether it is Satan and the first Adam, or the woman and the latter Adam. And it is said in Revelation, 5th chapter, and 13th verse:---" And every creature which is in heaven, and on 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, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.' Joel 2nd chapter, and 16th verse:---" Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck |
