head by Baptism: therefore I said it must come to the Standard of the CHURCH. I will now tell thee, what this Marriage meaneth-As a Husband is empowered to avenge an insult offered to his Wife by the union of the hand in Marriage, so am I empowered as a Husband to avenge the injuries offered to those that give their hands to ME, to be signed and sealed for their Redemption: for as the Bond seals Man's Redemption, so shall the Bond seal Satan's destruction. For if you discern the manner of the Sealing it stands for both-but how could I, in honour consistent with a GoD, that hath always acted with men after the manner of men, come as a Bridegroom to avenge the injuries done to his Wife, that he was not empowered to do by the Heart, be fore she had given to him her hand? Then HIS Honour is engaged to save and avenge his Wife's injuries; just so is MY HONOUR engaged to save all that are entered into this Bond with ME. And if Satan works to tempt them, I, as a Husband, will avenge him; for this I am bound in honour to do; and though I may take many to Glory, that Satan might not say, they signed not in LOVE to ME but in love to their own Lives, because they might live for ever!" therefore they must be parted, and some die to shame the Devil, that it is not for the sake of long life that they are signing for MY KINGDOM, but for their LOVE to Me that they wish for MY Kingdom either in the World of GLORY above, or in the World here below; and for that Power to be destroyed that is a ri val between GoD and them. So now see plain, ye sons of men, Because his son was offered up, And so was I the same; But know that Isaac did not drop, The Ram the victim came. But know, like man was then my plan; And as the life remained in him, I I say the same, to men I came, And in my body did appear, The blood was sprinkled then by ME, As they would never ME obey, I rid them off the coast. He followed there, let men see clear, But then I smote the tide, And made my chosen men go through, And I myself did hide Then in the pillar of the cloud, And Moses did pass through, While Pharoah knew not I was God, He hasty did pursue; But then his wheels I took away, That he could not go through, And when I brought the break of day, And Pharoah may begin to fear: That Pharoah he the next must be, For Satan now must fall like ME, And feel a Pharoah's doom. If he pursues he'll surely know For, as the Blood was on the doors, The Seals are now for all. A type of Satan was in one, And from the Blood, mark what is said, How in their graves they would be laid, She seal'd Naboth's destiny:- But now comes on the mystery, Esther, you know, receiv'd the blow, As Haman sought their overthrow, To warn her then, her brethren And so her life she ventur'd there, Now here's a mystery to mankind, As I have said before; As Jezebel did there; Because the stroke I'll now turn back, I tell thee, by the Seal. My Promises they are not slack, For I shall now reveal, That Esther's come, it shall be known, Her brethren for to clear; A Haman's pride for to unthrone, And men behold her prayer: As Esther came unto the king, Her brethren there that she might screen, And free them at the last. So it is here, I'll make it clear; For she has ask'd the same, For to have Satan to be cast, That man might know my Name. 'Tis man to free from misery, That her Petition's made: And can't you see the mystery? Oh men, be not misled! But see the MARRIAGE OF THE LAMB, How it is written there: The WIFE is ready now for man, To have her LORD appear. No rival stands between; The Marriage here must first appear, And bid the Brides to come. Then sure her hand shall ever stand, And every Bride like her shall stand, With love appear, as she doth here, And like a Bridegroom govern here, The Powers of Darkness to tread down Is her Petition given, And I the LORD of all be found, And Earth resemble Heaven. This is her call, I tell you all, And now I'm come to act like men, That every soul shall see; For here's the MARRIAGE OF THE LAME That doth you all invite; The Testimony now is come, That can't my footsteps see; Rev: 19.7 Let no be glu and jou for the Marriage of the Lamb is come, and the Wife hath made herself ready On earth the wonder must become To see a Woman thus appear, Satan to claim the That now the Brides are all my own Ah, simple men, is this your plan, Because the good he soon destroy'd, And now his curse it must come on, As he my Blood has spilt! Then conscience here must strong appear And Satan must repent; And say as Judas did before, To say his mind is bent For ME to bruise his head." This must be done, ye simple men, If Satan so appear, And he a Judas must become, As there the works you place |
