THE REVEALING OF THE WICKED ONE. 277 For I must come again to Men, And must their RANSOM be, Who on the Cross did die for them; Now let the learned answer here The words before thy view."— 1 Timothy ii. 5, 6-For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. "Then where's the man that now can come To prove the time was then? If in due time I tell my mind, Ye simple sons of men, A time must come, to you unknown, Another Scripture must be shewn 2 Thessalonians ii. 6-9-And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.Who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. Then shall that wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming. "Now let this be answered by the learned, who it is that withholdeth, that must be revealed in his time-the mystery of iniquity. Now the mystery of iniquity must be understood by men in a way and manner they never discerned; yet ye have always understood clearly from my Gospel, that the Devil is as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour, and hath always been a let and hindrance to man ; yet no man has ever discerned the meaning of his being revealed, nor how he was to be revealed, nor how the Lord was to consume him with the brightness of his coming, after his being revealed. This is a mystery no man can find out, neither can they explain, before I make it plain to man; but know, I have made it plain, as I revealed to thee the myste ries of the Fall, and where the Promise stands, and how it is to be demanded. So now see plain, ye sons of men, But with my BIBLE you contend, Yet never see it clear, "Twas not reveal'd, but was conceal'd, It was design'd in heart and mind, My Bible there's no man can clear, Because I did conceal The things from man, that none might come But I've reveal'd it to MY OWN, To shew MY BIBLE clear: "Tis now revcal'd, and not conceal'd, To have the PROMISE burst. And let them answer ME, How they'll appear the whole to clear? My BIBLE one do see: Now tell me plain, ye sons of men, Was this reveal'd to Man, The Woman should her Promise gain, And claim it from my HAND, What then reveal'd was there conceal'd That must hereafter be, That then did let? Let men dispute, But I have answer'd thee; It was the Fall I've told you all, It must be by the Woman's call So, simple men, if you discern, And perfect TRUE, before your view; To be reveal'd, as I conceal'd These mysteries all from MAN; But now you see the mystery The REVELATION'S Come: SATAN CONDEMNED THROUGH THE WOMAN. 279 The Woman here for to appear Is now made known, I tell you plain, My SPIRIT SO is come; Then don't appear to quench it here, My Bible I have now made clear, That all from ME fulfill'd must be, These mysteries deep no man can see, To make all clear my Bible here, . Know how the tempter did appear, By the same hand that he condemn'd, But now to Man the same I'll come, To cast on she, you all do see, And so I've turn'd it back; And he shall feel the rack Of what on ME. was cast by he; For no man can appear To say, that hell is join'd with thee, I tell thee, No; it is not so, Though men do mock my every word, You say in peace your fears do cease, I shall not hasty come; But I do tell you, unaware The whole will be made known.-. And then I'll answer thee; For they shall find their COMING LORD Unto thee strong I now am come, Now write the word that's on record 1 Thessalonians v. 2-3-Knowing perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. "Now I'll appear to answer here : The Type to thee is come; As one with child thy heart's beguil'd, And so thou dost go on; As sudden here is now thy fear, Thy sorrows will increase; And perfect so, I tell thee here, It will come to the rest; For sorrows on them now shall come, And as thy sorrows hasten on, Then let the Man take care. Now see the end, how thine will bend In sorrow first I know, But after that thou'lt see thy end In every joy to flow! And perfect so, they all will know, But those that seek thy overthrow The every blame on him that's cast, Will be his cry, I now do say- TYPE OF THE COMING OF THE LORD UNAWARES. 281 They'll find their sorrows in a day Like Pomeroy here they all may fear, On him to come, he cannot shun, Upon RECORD now stands MY WORD, But men, like Pomeroy, mock their LORD, But they shall find MY WORDS ARE TRUE For to go through the whole to know: He told the first, when thou didst place He would obey what thou didst say, So he went on, to ME 'twas known, But now from ME he's surely gone He must appear his Fall to clear, Then thou'lt appear the Truth to clear, And so his Fall he'll see; Because the men with thee do join To hold him to his word; . And so I said they must combine, Just like a THREEFOLD CORD, And then his SAND he'll see won't stand, Twill break in two, he'll see and know; His binds cannot appear To bind his word, that's on record, And printed now by thee; But now he'll find MY THREEFOLD CORD In union join'd to be.
