I (Joseph Herrin) have added the Scriptures in red and the notes in blue.</div> <bR> <div> 1. There shall be a total and full redemption by CHRIST.</div> <bR> <div> I Peter 1:3-5</div> <div> Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,  to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, </div> <div> who are protected by the power of God through faith for<U> a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time</U>. </div> <bR> <div> Hebrews 9:28</div> <div> So Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many,<U> will appear a second time for salvation </U>without reference to sin,<U> to those who eagerly await Him. </U></div> <bR> <div> II Thessalonians 1:10</div> <div> <U>When He comes to be glorified in His saints on that day</U>, and<U> to be marveled at among all who have believed</U>.</div> <bR> <div> I Timothy 4:10</div> <div> For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have fixed our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, <U>especially of believers</U>.</div> <bR> <div> I Thessalonians 5:23</div> <div> Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and<U> may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame </U>at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. </div> <bR> <div> Note: These, and many other Scriptures indicate that there is a complete salvation of body, soul and spirit that will be known only by the overcomers in Christ. It will be a salvation where they will not suffer any loss, but will fully attain to the desire of God to have sons in the image and glory of His Firstborn. The repeated testimony is that this salvation is reserved for those “who have believed” the report of God and have made themselves ready. As the next Scripture reveals, there will be many Christians who will suffer loss.</div> <bR> <div> II Corinthians 7:9</div> <div> I now rejoice, not that you were made sorrowful, but that you were made sorrowful to the point of repentance; for you were made sorrowful according to the will of God, <U>so that you might not suffer loss in anything </U>through us.</div> <bR> <div> I Corinthians 3:15-17</div> <div> If any man's work is burned up, <U>he will suffer loss</U>...<U> If any man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him</U>, for the temple of God is holy, and that is what you are.</div> <bR> <div> 2.  This is an hidden mystery, not to be understood without the Revelation of the Holy Spirit.</div> <bR> <div> Luke 19:26</div> <div> "I tell you that to <U>everyone who has, more shall be given</U>, but from the one who does not have, even what he does have shall be taken away.”</div> <bR> <div> Hebrews 13:10</div> <div> We have an altar from which those who serve the tabernacle have no right to eat.</div> <bR> <div> 3.  The Holy Spirit is at hand to reveal the same unto all holy seekers and loving inquirers.</div> <bR> <div> John 16:13</div> <div> But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth...</div> <bR> <div> Matthew 7:6</div> <div> "Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine...”</div> <bR> <div> Note: Not all Christians are given the same revelation. Revelation is given to those who have proven themselves to be lovers of the truth through their obedience to those things they have already received.</div> <bR> <div> 4.  The completion of such a redemption is withheld and obstructed by the apocalyptical seals.</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 10:4</div> <div> When the seven peals of thunder had spoken, I was about to write; and I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Seal up the things which the seven peals of thunder have spoken and do not write them..."</div> <bR> <div> 5.  Wherefore as the Spirit of God shall open seal after seal, so shall this redemption come to be revealed, both particularly and universally.</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 10:7</div> <div> But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then the mystery of God is finished, as He preached to His servants the prophets.</div> <bR> <div> Daniel 12:4</div> <div> "But as for you, Daniel, conceal these words and seal up the book<U> until the end of time..</U>.”</div> <bR> <div> 6.  In this gradual opening of the mystery of redemption in CHRIST, doth consist, the unsearchable wisdom of God, which may continually reveal new and fresh things to the worthy searchers.</div> <bR> <div> Daniel 12:9-10</div> <div> He said, “Go your way, Daniel, for<U> these words are concealed and sealed up until the end time</U>. Many will be purged, purified and refined, but the wicked will act wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand, but<U> those who have insight will understand</U>.”</div> <bR> <div> 7.  In order to which, the Ark of the Testimony in Heaven shall be opened before the end of this world, and the living testimony which is therein contained, shall be unsealed.</div> <bR> <div> I Corinthians 13:12</div> <div> For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face;<U> now I know in part, but then I will know fully </U>just as I also have been fully known.</div> <bR> <div> 8.  The presence of this divine ark, will constitute the Philadelphian Church, and wherever that is, there must the ark of necessity be.</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 3:7-8</div> <div> "And to the angel of <U>the church in Philadelphia </U>write: He who is holy, who is true, <U>who has the key of David, who opens </U>and no one will shut, and who shuts and no one opens, says this: “I know your deeds. Behold, I have put before you an open door which no one can shut, because you have a little power, and have kept My word, and have not denied My name.”</div> <bR> <div> 9.  The unsealing of the living testimony, within the ark of the Lord, must begin the promulgation of the everlasting gospel of the kingdom.</div> <bR> <div> Romans 8:18, 22-23</div> <div> For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with <U>the glory that is to be revealed in us.</U>.. For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. And not only this, but also we ourselves, <U>having the first fruits of the Spirit</U>, even <U>we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons</U>, the redemption of our body.</div> <bR> <div> II Corinthians 4:6-7</div> <div> For God, who said, "Light shall shine out of darkness," is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. But <U>we have this treasure in earthen vessels</U>, so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves...</div> <bR> <div> 10.  The proclamation of this testimony of the kingdom, will be as by the sound of a trumpet, to alarm all the nations of the earth, and more especially all the professions of Christianity, because attended with the power of ACTING ALL WONDERS.</div> <bR> <div> Hebrews 6:4-5</div> <div> and have been made <U>partakers of the Holy Spirit</U>, and have tasted the good word of God <U>and the powers of the age to come</U>...</div> <bR> <div> Hebrews 2:4-8</div> <div> God also bearing witness with them, both by<U> signs and wonders and by various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit </U>according to His own will. For He did not subject to angels the world to come, concerning which we are speaking. But one has testified somewhere, saying,</div> <div> "What is man, that Thou rememberest him? Or the son of man, that Thou art concerned about him? Thou hast made him for a little while lower than the angels; <U>Thou hast crowned him with glory and honor, And hast appointed him over the works of Thy hands; Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet</U>. " For in subjecting all things to him, He left nothing that is not subject to him.</div> <bR> <div> Isaiah 60:2-3</div> <div> For behold, darkness will cover the earth and deep darkness the peoples; But <U>Yahweh will rise upon you and His glory will appear upon you</U>. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.</div> <bR> <div> 11.  So there shall be an authoritative decision given forth immediately from CHRIST, to the putting an end to all controversies concerning the true Church.</div> <bR> <div> Isaiah 49:22-23</div> <div> Thus says Yahweh God, “Behold, I will lift up My hand to the nations and set up My standard to the peoples; and they will bring your sons in their bosom, and your daughters will be carried on their shoulders. Kings will be your guardians, and their princesses your nurses. <U>They will bow down to you </U>with their faces to the earth and lick the dust of your feet; and you will know that I am Yahweh; <U>Those who hopefully wait for Me will not be put to shame</U>.”</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 3:9</div> <div> Behold, I will cause those of the synagogue of Satan, who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie -- <U>I will make them come and bow down at your feet, and make them know that I have loved you</U>. </div> <bR> <div> 12.  This decision will be, by the actual sealing of the Members of this church with the name of God; giving them a commission to act by virtue of the same. This new name will distinguish them — from the seven thousand names of Babylon.</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 14:1, 4-5</div> <div> Then I looked, and behold, the Lamb was standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand,<U> having His name and the name of His Father written on their foreheads</U>... These have been purchased from among men as <U>first fruits to God and to the Lamb</U>. And no lie was found in their mouth; they are blameless.</div> <bR> <div> 13.  The ELECTION and PREPARATION of this church is to be after a secret and hidden manner; as DAVID in his minority was elected and anointed by the prophet of the LORD; yet was not admitted to the outward possession of the kingdom for a considerable time afterward.</div> <bR> <div> I Samuel 16:13</div> <div> Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of Yahweh came mightily upon David from that day forward. And Samuel arose and went to Ramah.</div> <bR> <div> 14.  Of the stem of DAVID, a virgin church, which hath known nothing of man or of human constitution, is yet to be born.</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 14:3-4</div> <div> And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders; and no one could learn the song except the one hundred and forty-four thousand who had been purchased from the earth.  <U>These are the ones who have not been defiled with women, for they have kept themselves chaste. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes.</U></div> <bR> <div> II Corinthians 11:2-3</div> <div> For I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy; for <U>I betrothed you to one husband, that to Christ I might present you as a pure virgin</U>. </div> <bR> <div> 15.  And if it be yet to be born, then it will require some considerable time before it gets out of its minority, and arrives to the full and mature age.</div> <bR> <div> Ephesians 4:13-14</div> <div> Till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children...</div> <bR> <div> 16.  The birth of this virgin church was visionally typified to St. JOHN by the great wonder in Heaven bringing forth her first born, that was caught up to the throne of GOD.</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 12:1-2, 5</div> <div> A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars; and she was with child; and she cried out, being in labor and in pain to give birth... And she gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron; and her child was caught up to God and to His throne.</div> <bR> <div> 17.  FOR — As a virgin woman brought forth CHRIST after the flesh, so likewise a virgin woman is designed by God, to bring forth the FIRST BORN after the Spirit, who shall be filled with the Holy Ghost and with power.</div> <bR> <div> John 17:22-24</div> <div> "<U>The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one</U>; I in them and You in Me, <U>that they may be perfected </U>in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me. Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, <U>be with Me where I am</U>, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.</div> <bR> <div> 18.  The VIRGIN that is hereto designed, must be as of a pure spirit, so also of a CLARIFIED body, and all over impregnated with the Holy Ghost.</div> <bR> <div> Luke 1:35</div> <div> The angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and for that reason the holy Child shall be called the Son of God.”</div> <bR> <div> Acts 1:8</div> <div> But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you...</div> <bR> <div> 19.  This church so brought forth and signed with the mark of the divine name, shall be adorned with MIRACULOUS GIFTS AND POWERS beyond whatever yet hath been.</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 20:6</div> <div> Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years.</div> <bR> <div> 20.  HEREBY all nations shall be brought into it, so that it shall be the Catholic Church according to the genuine sense and utmost latitude of the word.</div> <bR> <div> Isaiah 45:22-24</div> <div> Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; For I am God, and there is no other. I have sworn by Myself, the word has gone forth from My mouth in righteousness and will not turn back, that to Me every knee will bow, every tongue will swear allegiance. They will say of Me, "Only in Yahweh are righteousness and strength.' Men will come to Him, and all who were angry at Him will be ashamed.</div> <bR> <div> 21.  It must be an anointed church; whereby it may truly bear the name of CHRIST or Christian, being with him anointed to the priestly, prophetical and royal dignity.</div> <bR> <div> Acts 5:12-16</div> <div> At the hands of the apostles <U>many signs and wonders were taking place </U>among the people; and <U>they were all with one accord </U>in Solomon's portico..., <U>the people held them in high esteem</U>. And all the more believers in the Lord, multitudes of men and women, were constantly added to their number, to such an extent that they even carried the sick out into the streets and laid them on cots and pallets, so that<U> when Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on any one of them</U>. Also the people from the cities in the vicinity of Jerusalem were coming together, bringing people who were sick or afflicted with unclean spirits, and they were <U>all being healed</U>.</div> <bR> <div> 22.  Hence there will be no bonds or impositions, BUT the holy unction among these new born spirits will be all in all.</div> <bR> <div> Romans 8:14-15</div> <div> For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons...</div> <bR> <div> 23.  This Catholic and anointed church must be perfectly holy, as CHRIST himself is holy; so that it may worthily bear the name of the Lord our Holiness, and the Lord our Righteousness.</div> <bR> <div> I Peter 1:15-16</div> <div> Like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; because it is written, "You shall be holy, for I am holy."</div> <bR> <div> Ephesians 1:4</div> <div> He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him.</div> <bR> <div> 24.  Until there be such a church made ready upon the earth, so holy, so catholic, and so anointed, that is without all spot or wrinkle, and that is adorned as a bride to meet her bridegroom, CHRIST will not personally descend to solemnize this marriage, and present the same to his Father.</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 19:7</div> <div> "Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come and His bride has made herself ready."</div> <bR> <div> 25.  But when the bridal church shall be made ready, and thoroughly cleansed and sanctified from every spot of defilement through the blood of CHRIST, then he will no longer delay his coming in person.</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 22:17, 20</div> <div> The Spirit and the bride say, "Come." And let the one who hears say, "Come." </div> <div> He who testifies to these things says, "Yes, I am coming quickly."</div> <bR> <div> 26.  There is not this day (1697) visible upon the earth any holy catholic, anointed and bridal church; all the churches and professions, being found light, when weighed in the balance: therefore they are rejected by the Supreme Judge.</div> <bR> <div> Daniel 5:27</div> <div> Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 3:1-3</div> <div> “I know your deeds, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. Wake up, and strengthen the things that remain, which were about to die; for I have not found your deeds completed in the sight of My God. So remember what you have received and heard; and keep it, and repent. Therefore if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come to you.”</div> <bR> <div> 27.  Which rejection and condemnation will be for this end, that out of them, a new and glorious church may rise up in whom there shall be no fault to be found, like as he findeth none with the PHILADELPHIA. (Rev. 3)</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 3:8-12</div> <div> "I know your deeds. Behold, I have put before you an open door which no one can shut, because you have a little power, and have kept My word, and have not denied My name. Behold, I will cause those of the synagogue of Satan, who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie -- I will make them come and bow down at your feet, and make them know that I have loved you. Because you have kept the word of My perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. I am coming quickly; hold fast what you have, so that no one will take your crown. He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will write on him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God, and My new name.”</div> <bR> <div> 28.  THEN shall the glory of GOD and of the Lamb so rest upon it, as the cloud upon the typical tabernacle, so that it shall be called, The Tabernacle of Wisdom.</div> <bR> <div> 29.  Though this PHILADELPHIAN church is not known in visibility, yet it may lie hid at this present time as in the womb of the morning.</div> <bR> <div> 30.  Notwithstanding, it will be brought forth into visibility as coming out of the wilderness, within a short period.</div> <bR> <div> Song of Solomon 8:5</div> <div> Who is this coming up from the wilderness leaning on her beloved?</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 12:6</div> <div> Then the woman fled into the wilderness where she had a place prepared by God, so that there she would be nourished for one thousand two hundred and sixty days.</div> <bR> <div> 31.  Then will it go on to multiply and propagate itself universally; not only to the number of the first-born (which is 144,000) but also to the remnant of the seed: against whom the Dragon shall make continual war.</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 12:13-17</div> <div> And when the dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child. But the two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, so that she could fly into the wilderness to her place, where she was nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. And the serpent poured water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, so that he might cause her to be swept away with the flood. But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and drank up the river which the dragon poured out of his mouth. So the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went off to make war with the rest of her children, who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus.</div> <bR> <div> 32.  WHEREFORE the spirit of DAVID shall most eminently revive in this church, and most specially in some or other selected members of it, as the blossoming root, which is to precede the DAY OF SOLOMON in the blessed MILLENNIUM these will have might given them, to overcome the Dragon and his angels, (even as David and his army overcame Goliath and the PHILISTINES).</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 12:10-11</div> <div> Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, "Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.</div> <bR> <div> 33.  This will be the standing up of MICHAEL, the GREAT PRINCE of Israel, and will be as the appearance of MOSES against Pharaoh, in order that the chosen seed may be brought out from their hard servitude.</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 12:7-9</div> <div> And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.</div> <bR> <div> 34.  EGYPT doth figure out this servile creation, under which each one of Abraham's seed doth groan, but a PROPHET, and prophetical generation, will the MOST HIGH yet, raise up, who shall deliver his people — by mere force of spiritual arms.</div> <bR> <div> Obadiah 21</div> <div> Then saviors shall come to Mount Zion to judge the mountains of Esau, and the kingdom shall be Yahweh’s.</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 12:5</div> <div> And she gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron...</div> <bR> <div> 35.  For which — there must be raised up, certain HEAD POWERS to bear the first shock, who are to be persons of great eminence and favor with the TRINITY: whose dread and fear shall fall upon all nations (visible and invisible) because of the mighty acting power of the Holy Ghost, which shall rest upon them.</div> <bR> <div> I Corinthians 6:2-3</div> <div> Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world?... Do you not know that we will judge angels?</div> <bR> <div> 36.  For CHRIST before his own distinct and personal appearance, will first appear and represent himself in some CHOSEN VESSEL or vessels anointed to be leaders unto the rest, and to bring them into the promised land — the new creation state.</div> <bR> <div> II Thessalonians 1:9-10</div> <div> These will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power<U>, when He comes to be glorified </U><I><B><U>in</U></B></I><U> His saints on that day</U>, and to be marveled at among all who have believed...</div> <bR> <div> 37.  Thus, MOSES, JOSHUA and AARON, may be considered as types of some, upon whom the same spirit may come, yet to rest in a greater proportion, whereby they shall make way for the ransomed of the Lord to return to MOUNT ZION.</div> <bR> <div> Hebrews 12:18-24</div> <div> For you have not come to a mountain that may be touched and to a blazing fire, and to darkness and gloom and whirlwind, and to the blast of a trumpet and the sound of words which sound was such that those who heard begged that no further word should be spoken to them. For they could not bear the command, "If even a beast touches the mountain, it will be stoned." And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, "I am full of fear and trembling." But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels, to the general assembly and church of the first-born who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the Judge of all, and to the spirits of righteous men made perfect...</div> <bR> <div> 38.  BUT — none shall stand in any considerable office under GOD, but who are tried stones, after the pattern and similitude of the chief corner stone — CHRIST.</div> <bR> <div> Romans 8:16-17</div> <div> The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ,<U> if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.</U></div> <bR> <div> I Peter 4:12-13</div> <div> Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you; but <U>to the degree that you share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing, so that also at the revelation of His glory you may rejoice with exultation</U>.</div> <bR> <div> 39.  THIS will be a FIERY trial, which very FEW will be able to pass, or bear up in; wherefore the WAITERS for the visible breaking out of this Church, are strictly charged to hold that fast which they have, and to wait together in the unity of PURE LOVE, praying in the Holy Ghost according to the apostolical pattern, that they may be sent forth to multiply — more universally.</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 3:11</div> <div> “I am coming quickly; hold fast what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”</div> <bR> <div> Hebrews 10:36-39</div> <div> For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised. For yet in a very little while, He who is coming will come, and will not delay. But My righteous one shall live by faith; and if he shrinks back, My soul has no pleasure in him. But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the preserving of the soul.</div> <bR> <div> 40.  This TRIAL will be of absolute necessity to every one in particular, and to all in general, for the constituting and cementing of the true Philadelphian Church; by clearing away all the remaining infirmities of nature, and burning up all that there is of hay, stubble or dross, which they may have added to the work of the LORD.</div> <bR> <div> Hebrews 5:8-9</div> <div> Although He was a Son,<U> He learned obedience from the things which He suffered</U>. And <U>having been made perfect</U>, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation...</div> <bR> <div> John 15:20</div> <div> “Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A slave is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you...”</div> <bR> <div> 41.  FOR — nothing must remain in this pure Church, but what can abide in the FIRE. For as a Refiner will the LORD purify the sons and daughters of it, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto Him an offering in perfect righteousness.</div> <bR> <div> I Peter 1:6-7</div> <div> In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ...</div> <bR> <div> Numbers 31:23</div> <div> Everything that can stand the fire, you shall pass through the fire, and it shall be clean.</div> <bR> <div> 42.  — Though the operation of the Holy Spirit in these WAITERS, may for a LONG TIME, contend with many infirmities and evils, yet, if it be kept continually warm and watched too, it cannot at the last, but work out a perfect cure, and bring about a full and perfect redemption from the earth.</div> <bR> <div> James 1:2-4</div> <div> Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.</div> <bR> <div> 43.  There may be some, at present living, who may come to be thus fully and totally redeemed; having ANOTHER BODY put on them, that is, — one after the priestly order.</div> <bR> <div> Ezekiel 44:15-19</div> <div> But the Levitical priests, the sons of Zadok, who kept charge of My sanctuary when the sons of Israel went astray from Me, shall come near to Me to minister to Me; and they shall stand before Me to offer Me the fat and the blood," declares Yahweh God. They shall enter My sanctuary; they shall come near to My table to minister to Me and keep My charge. It shall be that when they enter at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and wool shall not be on them while they are ministering in the gates of the inner court and in the house. Linen turbans shall be on their heads and linen undergarments shall be on their loins; they shall not gird themselves with anything which makes them sweat. When they go out into the outer court, into the outer court to the people, they shall put off their garments in which they have been ministering and lay them in the holy chambers; then they shall put on other garments so that they will not transmit holiness to the people with their garments.</div> <bR> <div> 44.  This priestly anointed BODY will render them impregnable, and qualify them for that high degree of spiritual government which they are called to.</div> <bR> <div> 45.  WHEREFORE it is required on our part to suffer the spirit of burning to do upon us the refining work, fanning us with his fiery breath, and searching every part within us, until all be pure and clear, and we thereby arrive to this FIXED BODY, from whence the WONDERS are to flow out.</div> <bR> <div> Isaiah 4:4-5</div> <div> <U>When the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion </U>and purged the bloodshed of Jerusalem from her midst, by<U> the spirit of judgment and the spirit of burning</U>, then Yahweh will create over the whole area of Mount Zion and over her assemblies a cloud by day, even smoke, and the brightness of a flaming fire by night; for over all the glory will be a canopy.</div> <bR> <div> I Peter 4:1</div> <div> Therefore, since Christ has suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same purpose, because he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin...</div> <bR> <div> 46.  This BODY will be the sealing character of the PHILADELPHIAN Church.</div> <bR> <div> 47.  Upon this BODY will be the fixation of the URIM and THUMMIM, that are to be appropriated to the Priests of the Melchisedeckian order; whose descent is not to be counted in the genealogy of that creation which is under the FALL; but in another genealogy which is from the RESTORATION — (vide Prop. 17 & 18).</div> <bR> <div> Exodus 28:30</div> <div> “You shall put in the breastpiece of judgment the Urim and the Thummim, and they shall be over Aaron's heart when he goes in before Yahweh; and Aaron shall carry the judgment of the sons of Israel over his heart before Yahweh continually.”</div> <bR> <div> Numbers 27:18-21</div> <div> So Yahweh said to Moses, "Take <U>Joshua</U> the son of Nun, a man<U> in whom is the Spirit</U>, and lay your hand on him; and have him stand before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation, and commission him in their sight.<U> You shall put some of your authority on him, in order that all the congregation of the sons of Israel may obey him</U>. Moreover, he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall <U>inquire for him by the judgment of the Urim before Yahweh</U>. <U>At his command they shall go out and at his command they shall come in</U>, both he and the sons of Israel with him, even all the congregation."</div> <bR> <div> 48.  Hence these Priests will have a deep inward search, and a divine sight into the secret things of the Deity; will be able to prophecy in a clear ground, not darkly and enigmatically, for they will know what is couched in the first originality of all beings, and in the eternal archetype of nature; and so will be capacitated to bring them forth, according to the divine counsel and ordination.</div> <bR> <div> Isaiah 45:2-3</div> <div> I will shatter the doors of bronze and cut through their iron bars. <U>I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden wealth of secret places</U>, so that you may know that it is I, Yahweh, the God of Israel, who calls you by your name. </div> <bR> <div> 49.  The LORD, whose hand is lifted up, sweareth in truth and righteousness, that from ABRAHAM'S line according to the Spirit, there shall arise an HOLY PRIESTHOOD.</div> <bR> <div> I Peter 2:4-5</div> <div> And coming to Him as to a living stone which has been rejected by men, but is choice and precious in the sight of God, you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.</div> <bR> <div> 50.  ABRAHAM and SARAH were a type of THAT which should be produced and manifested in the last age of the world.</div> <bR> <div> Hebrews 11:8-12</div> <div> By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed by going out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs of the same promise; for he was looking for the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God. By faith even Sarah herself received ability to conceive, even beyond the proper time of life, since she considered Him faithful who had promised; therefore, also, there was born of one man, and him as good as dead at that, as many descendants as the stars of heaven in number, and innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore.</div> <bR> <div> 51.  The mighty spirit of CYRUS is appointed to lay the foundation of the third temple, and to support it in its building.</div> <bR> <div> Isaiah 45:1-6</div> <div> Thus says Yahweh to His anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held--</div> <div> To subdue nations before him and loose the armor of kings, to open before him the double doors, so that the gates will not be shut: “I will go before you and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron. I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, Yahweh, Who call you by your name, am the God of Israel. For Jacob My servant's sake, and Israel My elect, I have even called you by your name; I have named you, though you have not known Me. I am Yahweh, and there is no other; There is no God besides Me. I will gird you, though you have not known Me, that they may know from the rising of the sun to its setting that there is none besides Me. I am Yahweh, and there is no other...”</div> <bR> <div> 52.  THESE — are the characteristics or marks whereby this pure Virgin Church, so founded, shall be certainly known and distinguished from all others, and whereby the unction and true sound of the Holy Ghost shall be discerned from THAT which is FALSE, LOW, and COUNTERFEIT.</div> <bR> <div> Ezekiel 44:23</div> <div> “Moreover, they shall teach My people the difference between the holy and the profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.”</div> <bR> <div> Numbers 16:5</div> <div> “Tomorrow morning Yahweh will show who is His, and who is holy, and will bring him near to Himself; even the one whom He will choose, He will bring near to Himself.”</div> <bR> <div> 53.  There must be a manifestation of the Spirit, wherewith to edify and raise up this Church suitable to the Resurrection of CHRIST.</div> <bR> <div> 54.  This manifestation — must be in the absoluteness of power, as well as in the beauty of holiness; so — bringing down Heaven upon earth, and representing HERE — the NEW JERUSALEM state.</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 3:12</div> <div> “He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will write on him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, <U>the new Jerusalem</U>,<U> which comes down out of heaven from My God</U>, and My new name.”</div> <bR> <div> 55.  In order to which, spirits that are thus purely begotten and born of GOD, can ascend to the new Jerusalem above, where their HEAD, in great majesty, doth reign, and receive THERE such a mission, whereby they shall be empowered to bring down to this world its transcendent glory.</div> <bR> <div> 56.  None but those that are risen with CHRIST in the regeneration, can thus ascend, and none, but those that have so ascended, and received of his glory, can descend again to communicate the same, being thereby his representatives upon the new earth, as subordinate Priests and Princes under him.</div> <bR> <div> 57.  Now, HE that is ascended and glorified, has made himself, as it were, our debtor; consequently, he will not be wanting in qualifying and furnishing out certain high and principal instruments, WHO SHALL BE MOST HUMBLE, and as little regarded as David was, whom he will dignify with great honour and priestly sovereignty, for the drawing to them the scattered flocks, and gathering them into one fold, out of all nations, and languages, and kindreds.</div> <bR> <div> 58.  THEREFORE, there should be a holy emulation and ambition stirred up among all the lovers of JESUS, that they may be of the first fruits unto him that is risen from the dead, and so be made principal agents for him and with him; that they may, if possible, be of the number of the first born of the New Jerusalem Mother.</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 20:6</div> <div> Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years.</div> <bR> <div> 59.  All the LOVERS of JESUS, and true waiters for his kingdom in spirit, under whatsoever professions or forms they are dispersed, ought to be numbered among the Philadelphian spirits, to whom this MESSAGE appertains.</div> <bR> <div> 60.  The Society is not the Church, but preparatory to the Church of Philadelphia; it consists of those who have associated to wait in the unity of the spirit, for its glorious appearance and manifestation. — WHEREFORE — there is such a strict charge given to THEM throughout this Message, to be WATCHFUL and quicken up their pace.</div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
