Luke, 21st chapter, 24th verse.---" And Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled."

Then will he deliver Israel from the death of the body, and make them his tabernacle, so they will abide in it, as said in the text, and put on immortality.

From the foregoing words it is evident what the tabernacle of the Lord is: and the Holy hill of the Lord is this planet, when it is made holy, by the fallen angels being removed from it; as it is written in Revelation, 20th chapter, 1---3 verse.

And when there shall be no more curse, as it is said in Revelation, 22nd chapter, 3rd verse.

It is written in Luke. 12th chapter, 50th verse. "But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished."

The fulness of the Spirit rested on the body of Jesus, the woman's seed, and by it he did the will of God, and afterwards that same body was baptized with fire, and the Spirit dwelt within the flesh, it being made the tabernacle of God.

And at the fulness of times are spoken of by Daniel, 12th chapter, 7th verse, God will set his hand a second time, as it is written by Isaiah, 11th chapter, 11th verse.

And those who seek for the fulness of his Spirit, he will cause it to rest on them, and they will do his will by that Spirit; and afterwards it will baptize them with fire, and make this blood flesh, the Spirit then being the life of them; and their bodies will no more see corruption, but become glorious bodies, like unto his, as it is written by Paul, in Philippians, 3rd chapter, 21st verse, which will be the tabernacle of God; and their spirits, with the life of him, will abide within that tabernacle to eternity.

The 126th Psalm, 6th verse.---" He that goeth

forth weeping bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.'

,,

Jesus wept for man, and he went forth according to his words, in John, 16th chapter, 7th verse. ---"If I go not away the Comforter will not come unto you.

And after he arose from the dead his body became the tabernacle of God, and ascended: but he promised he would come again, and bring with him the life of those who would be prepared for his Spirit to dwell in, they being his sheaves.

So Paul says to the Colossians, 3rd chapter, 4th verse.---" When Christ who is our life shall appear then shall we appear with him in glory."

Judges, 13th chapter, 5th verse.---" For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head; for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb."

Here is a type and shadow of those who will abide in the tabernacle of the Lord, and dwell in his holy hill; that as the angel ordered that no razor was to come upon the head of Sampson, being a type of Jesus, so it will be with them; they will not mar the temple of God, but keep his command which he gave by his Apostle Paul, in 1st Corinthians, 3rd chapter, 17th verse." If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy."

And the commandment which is written in Leviticus, 19th chapter, 27th verse.---" Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard." He that does this, spoils the image of God: and his body seeth corruption, which is the first curse that was pronounced upon man.

Philipians, 2nd chapter, 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.

[ocr errors]

The word of life which Jehovah is now holding forth, is the visitation of the fulness of his Spirit to man in prophecy, which is the third dispensation of his will concerning man, the Everlasting Gospel of Peace of his kingdom, that the time is at hand, that he will appear the second time, and bring eternal life to those who have received his word and obeyed it; that their bodies see not corruption, nor a bone of them be broken, but be made like his glorious body, that they may abide in their tabernacles, and dwell in his holy hill, as said in the text.

John, 3rd chapter, 34th verse." For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him." Jesus said in John, 15th chapter, 5th verse.--"I am the vine, ye are the branches."

And as it was with him, that the Spirit was not given unto him by measure, so will it be with the house of Israel: the Spirit will not be given unto them by measure, but the fulness; and afterwards, it will dwell in them, and change their vile bodies to be his tabernacle, as said in the text.

Hosea, 6th chapter, 2nd verse:---" After two days will he revive us; in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.'

These words shew the three periods of time into which the time of Satan's reign on earth is divided; and the half time, him being bound, that flesh and blood will live without death for a thousand years, the same as the time and times spoken of in 12th chapter of Daniel. The first day, being the time before the flood, which was two thousand years; the second day being the time from the flood, to the coming of Jesus, the woman's seed, wherein the law was given, and the Prophets wrote: which

N

was two thousand years, and, at the expiration of these two days, Christ, laid down the life of the woman's seed for man, that man thereby might be revived; which was fulfilled when he shewed himself to his disciples,after he rose from the sepulchre, John, 20th chapter, 22nd verse :---" He breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost." They were then revived to their former faith which was delivered to the saints. And within the third day, which is two thousand years, since the coming of Jesus, he will raise up the body of man, from the sentence which was pronounced in the beginning; "Dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. "And he will make it the tabernacle of himself, and the life of God will dwell in the man, and will abide in the tabernacle, and dwell in the holy hill, as said in the text; and there will be no death during the half time to those that dwell in blood, that serve those that are redeemed from the earth: so that the whole race of the first Adam and Eve is three days and a half; but the life of the latter Adam and Eve is eternal, which is the Bride and Bridegroom, the begotten of God,

Which Paul declares in Hebrews, 7th chapter, 3rd verse--"Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days nor end of life; but made like unto the son of God; abideth a priest continually."

And these are the sealed number, the hundred and forty four thousand, spoken of in Revelation, 7th, and 14th chapters, which are redeemed from the earth and they are also the Bride mentioned in the 19th chapter of Revelation, and the 62nd chapter of Isaiah, and 5th verse:---" For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee; and as the Bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee."

John 3rd chapter, and 33rd verse:-"He that

hath received his testimony, hath set to his seal that God is true.

It is written in Revelation, 19th chapter, and 10th verse:---"The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of Prophecy."

And it is written in John, 14th chapter, and 26th verse:---"The Comforter whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your rememberance whatsoever I have said unto you."

And in the 13th chapter, and 20th verse:--"He that receiveth whomsever I send, receiveth

[merged small][ocr errors]

And now the Spirit of truth is come, and is bringing all things to the rememberance of Israel, which is written in the Scriptures; and is opening the seals and is shewing unto them the Scriptures, which are yet to fulfil; and is causing the uncircumcised to become circumcised, and he that marred the temple of God to mar it not, and is pointing out the glory that is laid up at the right hand of God, which will shortly be given to all those who receive his testimony, and obey the commands of his Spirit: and thus the Spirit is the comforter, because it announces unto man the joyful tidings that his sorrows and woes will shortly have an end; and that he will make the old earth new, and his glory will fill it, according to the words of the Prophets. And those who receive the testimony, will set to their seal that God is true: and they will justify him in all his words, and ways; for they will see his wisdom in creation, and in the means he has appointed for man's preservation: and his mercy to man, and his justice to the prince of the old world. And these are they in whom the Lord will delight; and their bodies will be his tabernacle, and he and they will abide in those tabernacles, and dwell in the Holy Hill, as said in the text, which is the new heavens and the new earth.
