And brought thy writings just the same, That you from one must judge the whole, To be fulfilled at one time. I've plac'd these harvests to mankind, To shew you plain the time is come, Before the truth of all is known, And when the time to man appears, I mean to make the mystery clear, Why I these pages did so name, To say the were fulfill'd by man; For so by man the words were true; For as I said the truth you know, That friends and foes did so abound, And thou from both did hear the sound, As in the pages that were penn'd; But can you say you've seen the end, To have these pages all come true? Bring every page before your view, You'll see it must be a work of time, Ere every truth therein you'll find; And perfect so my Bible stands-Awake, ye dark benighted land, And all together now compare; Then you must know the Lord is here Or, such a likeness could not be, To bring my Bible round this way, To shew you all that time must come, Ere I fulfil the whole for man, That man doth say is now fulfill'd. The serpent's head, you say, I chill'd, When that I died to rescue man, To bruise his head was then my plan; But will you prove it then was done? Did not his head appear in man, To slay my followers all the same? And so the martyrs I shall name; And now I tell you to this day, That Satan's head in men is high, To blind their eyes they may not see, The end is come must fall on he: And it is man must bruise his head, As I by man was surely laid To take my trial all from men, And I was nailed by their hand; And by their hand it shall appear, That Satan now the same shall share; Because the nails were drove by men, When they did nail my feet and hands, And they must drive the nail the same; To bruise his head must be by man. So every name that's enter'd here, Satan will find to be a spear, To pierce his heart, as man pierced mine For on his head the names I'll bind, That every name shall bruise his head, As in the grave I then was found. And this must all be from the hand; So saints and sinners need not fear, If from their hearts they wish it here; And with their hearts their hands do join, That they with me might dwell in peace? Now I must call my readers to the following pages, printed in 1801. The 83d page of the 2d book. In the Heavens I say 'tis working high. The 146th page-I'll begin in the new century to shew you the doors that were bolted for man when he was cast out of Eden, and will bring to his view the knowledge, that was kept from him. The 56th page 2d book-The wars were said to abound, and the substance was to come; but in 53d page, they were said to be deferred for a while. The 64th and 65th pages, it is written, Men will join with men, and women will join with women, who do not believe, to persecute those that do believe, till the anger of the Lord is kindled against them. In the 70th page, it is writ ten, I should put my writings in print, with the new century; as the hand of the Lord would be close after to fulfil them. In the 107th page-I took man's nature upon me, and bore the blame man cast on me, that Satan might bear the blame the woman cast on him. The 113th page, my writings are to bring all things to your remembrance. The 114th page, men that are believers are said at first to see things as trees walking, be fore they are come to see them as men. The 122d page-As the past ages, so is the present. They despised my prophets, and were full of their own invention, till destruction came upon them. The fifth Book, page 235, printed December 1801As there is a peace, let there be a peace; but I may say, what peace, so long as Satan and his witchcrafts are so many? Let it be known, my prophecies are not ended; yea, they are scarce begun; for as you say the war is ended, I say it is not begun. Mark deeply the 237th page, the 251st page-I bore the blame for man, but knew my second next must come, to take the sword and plunge it in the powers of darkness, and so turn back on Satan the mischief he created. The 268th page-When they have proved it came from heaven, it will be given to the public and then I shall try the hearts of men, and my arrows shall fly fast, if men mock my word, they soon shall feel my glittering sword. The 288th page of the sixth Book, printed January 2d, 1802. What God designed at first, he will accomplish at last; it is not all the powers of earth or hell can frustrate the designs and purposes of the Most High: the Lord made the woman to complete the happiness of man, and by her it must be done," Here I shall give the answer of the Spirit to these pages, that I was ordered to mark to-the public. Here begins the explanation from the sixth Book, on which seven men set in judgment. "Three of them were shepherds, whom I had chosen; and these three agreed in one, though three in person, but one in heart and mind, whom I have told thee are the shadow of the three that beared record on earth, compared with the three that beared record in heaven. Mark now what is written in the third Book: I had chosen me a shepherd in whom I find no fault. If you chuse him, I will chuse you. Page 124.-Now this shepherd is my Son, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul delighteth. And there are three shepherds that have testified of him, that it is his spirit which has visited thee, to make men heirs of God, and joint heirs with Jesus Christ. I have begun at the ending and shall go back to the beginning. But how could any man or woman complete your happiness by prophecies, seeing they were never completed? But the way the woman shall complete them are by my words and promises; as I have said the one shepherd is my Son. And if they now chuse him, as thou hast desired them, by their names to prove they have chosen him, then will I chuse them, and make them, as I said, heirs of God, and joint heirs with Jesus Christ. Those words which were unknown to thee, were meant when I came to try men, whether they would chuse him or not. But it is the three shepherds agreeing in one, that my Spirit is upon as men, who bear witness of me: They are the shadows, I am the substance; therefore I chose three and no more, to prove I am the substance of their choice: for I am the substance there mentioned. Had I chose one shepherd, men might say he was the man they must chuse and not me. Had I chose more than three shepherds to join the twelve; they could not be the three on earth, as is written in my gospel: three to bear record of the three in heaven, and these three to agree in one. So I have shewn the meaning of the three shepherds in the oneand the three have agreed to chuse me as the one. And now I shall come to the woman's completing the happiness of man. By these three agreeing with me, thou now standest, and by thy petition for the coming of my kingdom and for Satan's destruction, that thou wilt complete the happiness of all men and women, who join with thee in hand and heart. It is not thy prophecies that complete their happiness, but sealing their names, that they have signed for Satan's destruction, and their desire for my Kingdom that must complete their happiness in the end. Thy prophecies shall bring them to the perfect knowledge of the good; but it is the seals that must complete their happiness in the end. So man is an helpmate with thee; and thou with them; for this shall complete the happiness for man. And it is for the sake of these that elect me for their chosen Priest, and King, that Satan's reign shall be shortened. these are the elect, for whose sake he shall be cast down. Now I shall go back to the first pages I ordered thee to mention.-It is working high in So |
