And mark from Pilate what he said: Then know the words I answered him; And so my kingdom I'll bring here. 3 Er. B. 237. The SPIRIT and the BRIDE are come to warn all men of my coming. Now let the world answer me, how I could be the beginning and the ending, the first and the last, without I accomplish according to my words? Was I not the beginning in the creation, to form MAN in my own likeness, and make the WOMAN for his helpmate and happiness? This was my plan in the beginning when I made man at first, then I must accomplish it in the ending, if I am the last. He that doth overcome, His GOD I surely will appear, 3 Ex. B. 261. And make him as my SON-3 Ex. B. 264. The LAW before no man could clear The way that I should come, And of the WOMAN born- In SPIRIT in her FORM; Thou know'st the Jews believ'd in ME, 3 Ex. B. 276. That is, I Israel should restore, In the full time, call all to mind, Under the LAW you all must know, The PROMISE stands for men ; 4 Ex. B. 329. The WOMAN'S SEED must bruise his head, Then I must sure be here, And in the WOMAN strong to plead, Your great Deliverer here. If you discern how I do warn, In SPIRIT strong, and I am come- That GOD has so sent forth his SON, And you went on to mock her hand, More fatal now 'twould be Than for the Jews, that did condemn, And nail'd ME to the tree. 4 Ex. B. 355. 4 E3, B. 356. "He shall build the temple of the Lord, and HE shall bear the glory, and rule upon his throne; HE shall be a priest upon his throne; and the counsel of peace shall be between them both." Your Father which is in heaven, hath the power to build the TEMPLE of the LORD; that meaneth to build the TEMPLE in MAN.-5 Ex. B. 453. If Abraham obtained the Son by faith, which was but a shadow of the promise, how much more by faith must ye obtain the full promise of your redemption.-6 Ex. B. 481. If I made the first vessel unto dishonour, as man dishonoured ME thereby, have I not power over the clay off the same lump, to make one vessel unto honour, to shew my wrath, and make known my power upon the vessels of wrath ?-6 Er. B. 483. Let men answer what the FULNESS of the GENTILES means, that it is written, that at the fulness of the Gentiles there shall come out of Zion the Deliverer, when all Israel is to be saved? Now will men answer me, that that Deliverer meant when I came to establish my Gospel?-How then was it written, to wait until the fulness of the Gentiles was come in, if it was to come at that time? -6 Ex. B. 493. How will men answer these words, to say, the WORD was made flesh ?-But know, if the wORD was made flesh by my coming in the flesh, to dwell amongst men, in the likeness of man, then the WORD that was spoken in the creation, of making MAN in my own image and likeness, must become flesh in my likeness, for MAN to dwell with ME, as I dwelt with him.-6 Ex. B. 547. Know, the WORD that was in the beginning, that the evil power should receive his curse, and his head should be bruised, as my heel was; then if the FIRST WORD became flesh to dwell amongst men, to have my heel bruised, according to the words in the beginning, then according to the words in the beginning, I must bruise Satan's head, and take sin out of the world:-6 Er. B. 548. These parables shew my firm decrees in the creation-what I said when I created the WOMAN at first-the promise that was made in the fallmy being born of the VIRGIN-my promising to come again as the BRIDEGROOM, to free the fall of the WOMAN; or how could I bring in the redemption of MAN?-Ex. of Parables, 28. How can she be saved through child-bearing, from the transgression of the fall, if the PROMISE is not fulfilled? And let men mark the words that follow the transgression-" Notwithstanding she shall be saved in child-bearing:" but how do men understand the words? Do they suppose that no woman is to be saved but such as have children? Then let them remember the words of the Apostle "The SINGLE WOMAN is to the LORD:" then if the single woman be to the Lord, let no man vainly imagine that this CHILD-BIRTH means temporally; but I tell you all it means spiritually ; for if I that was of the SPIRIT, born of the FLESH, and yet conceived by the HOLY GHOST of the SPIRIT of GOD, to be born of the WOMAN; know all men, through this CHILD-BIRTH the WOMAN shall be freed from the transgression of the fall.-K. of Christ is at hand, 23. As ye are born, it must be known, You say, of bondmaids all; Then the TRUE HEIR cannot appear, Much like Herod I will do: K. of C. 39. 2 B. of S. Prophecies, 9. Like a travailing woman in sorrow did Eve begin-and perfectly so, I tell thee, like a travailing woman the whole will end.-Foley's Answer, 29. Eve travailed in pain, in child-birth, to bring on man's destruction; so it must be in like manner, of pain and child-birth, to bring on man's restitution.-Foley's Answer, 36. He persecutes the WOMAN which brought forth the MAN-CHILD. Now I tell thee of this mystery, concerning the MAN-CHILD, it will not be cleared up till the end; and then will every one see clearly |
