to see whether these things are so or not? Then how can man find fault? If my love is not worth knowing, it is not worth receiving. Therefore, let them not marvel if they find the day of judgment is come to them, when I come to bind down their leader, and they are bound with him that now mock, and despise every offer of love that I have made them. Will they say the offer is not alike unto all, when it is made public to all; and when it is left on record that whosoever will let him take of the water of life freely? So if one will, and the other will not, where is the man can find fault? For I now tell you all, the day of judgment is at hand for all men, that now refuse to take of the TREE of LIFE. But here is a mystery thou dost not understand; neither can it be understood by man, before I bring them back to the fall. The Tree of Knowledge was forbid, because evil was on the tree as well as the good; therefore, man fell by cating of the evil that was forbid; but now I have said that evil shall be done away, and man shall come to the knowledge of the good, that he may possess the TREE of LIFE. Yet to this knowledge man refuses to come, but had sooner abide under the fall with the knowledge of the evil remaining upon him, Then know all men, this generation cannot find fault, when they refused the knowledge of the good. For no more than a sinner that dieth in his sins, can expect to enter the kingdom of heaven, no more can a man that refuses to come to the true knowledge of my Bible, enter into my Kingdom of Peace to inherit the TREE of LIFE. Now let men answer what fault they can find in ME-that I am not doing justice to this present age, when I am come to visit in the Spirit, to warn by Prophecies, to throw open my Bible, to explain the mysteries, and to invite all men to come to the knowledge of the good, BY THE SAME HAND that you say tempted man to the knowledge of the

ecil. Now if man readily received the first, that I Fad forbid, and refuses the last, that I have commanded, where is the man shall find fault? Do not my words stand on record in my Bible plain, to tell you that it is the SPIRIT, and the BRIDE must invite you to take of the WATER of LIFE freely ? that ye may have your part in the Book of Life, that ye may have your part in the Tree of Life, and enjoy the visions that were seen by John? Now, if these words did not stand on record, man might say he had some excuse for his unbelief, as Adam had for eating the forbidden fruit. But now the words stand plain on record, and therefore man hath no excuse. But I know thy pondering heart; man hath placed it to the church. Then now let the church tell me if the Spirit hath visited them, to warn them my kingdom is at hand?. Or whether they have any knowledge of these things? Have the church pointed out the Scriptures, as I have pointed them out to thee? Have they shewn them what stands on record, to call to their remembrance, that these things must be fulfilled? Does the church say they are visited by MY Spirit to warn of my coming? Do they not rather say, like the people of old, when the Disciples asked them if they had received the Holy Ghost, they answered, they knew not of any Holy Ghost; and is not this the language of the Church? Do they not mock the knowledge of the Spirit? Do they believe in any Spirit that is to come and teach them these things? Then how can man vainly allude the Spirit and the Bride to the Church, before the Church is led by the Spirit? before the Church acknowledge the Spirit? Now weigh the chapter through: it is written, I, Jesus, have sent mine Angel, to testify unto you these things in the Churches. But did I say the Spirit was in the Churches? If the Spirit had been in the Churches, I need not have sent my Angel to John, to testify these things in the Churches, if they had

known them all before. But I sent mine Angel to warn John in the vision for to warn them; and his words are left on record, that they may be testified of in the Churches, that the SPIRIT and the BRIDE should invite them to come; and whosoever heareth the Spirit and the Bride, should tell them to come; and whoesover thirst for the WATER of LIFE, should come freely. Now where is the man can say this is done by the Churches? Do not the Church deny the Spirit? then how are they the Brides, without the Spirit to invite men thus to come? Here, all men must be silent, that say the Church can thus be the Bride, who deny the Spirit. Let them see, how they are both joined together; then where is the man can part them asunder? Where is the man, without the Spirit, that can bring forth fruit for the healing of the nations? Are the nations yet healed? Are they not yet in darkness, as they were before? Then now I ask them, what manner of fruit the Church have yielded? Or what leaves from them can heal the nations? Let men weigh deep the Revelations, with the words that I have spoken; then, they must be convinced it is the SPIRIT of GOD and not of man, that must reveal these things, and explain these things, to warn men that the time is come that John warned them of was at hand: but he did not tell them it was then fulfilled, for though my Disciples were filled with the Holy Ghost, yet he tells them when this is fulfilled of the SPIRIT and the BRIDE, I cometh quickly, and then cometh the END. That he that is unjust, let him be unjust still; and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: behold I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. Now discern all men, this wARNING is for THE END, when I come to overcome the world: then ye may be of good cheer, that now relieth upon the Scriptures of TRUTH; for it is my words, and the revelation of
