MEANING OF THE FULNESS OF TIME.

355

ther Gospel that was never taught them by me, nor my disciples; but my Gospel was never understood by any man, for they thought the fulness of time was when I came upon the earth, and was born of the Woman; but will men prove I was made of the Woman? I have already told thee, and I now tell thee again, I was made of the HOLY GHOST, and became the Son of GOD, taking man's nature upon ME, in every form and fashion as a man; neither was man's redemption then: and the Jews that were under the Law, are under the Law to this day. But what do men marvel at, to think that that Scripture should allude to a Woman in the last days, whom my Spirit should come to visit, to claim the Promise that was made in the Fall, and redeem men from the Fall, when I have told you that that PROMISE must be claimed by the Woman? But how is the Woman to claim it, without MY

SPIRIT coming to visit her? And why does it ap pear more marvellous to you, that God should send forth the Spirit of his Son into her heart to free the Fall and claim the Promise, that ye may be made Heirs of God, and joint Heirs with Jesus Christ, than it is marvellous that God should send forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, thereby crying, Abba, Father, making you Heirs of God through Christ?

Now here to man I hold shall come

And let them answer ME;
My Gospel no man doth discern,
How all fulfill'd must be;

In the FULL TIME, call all to mind,
The whole I must redeem.

Under the Law, you all must know,
The Promise stands for men;

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;

To clear the Fall, I tell you all, '
I in her so must come,

Because her Promise I must clear
And in her form, be it known,

My Spirit strong this way must come,
Or how could she go through?
I tell you all, ye sons of men,
My Gospel none do know,
The way 'tis plac'd, ye fallen race,
As none do understand;
You by the Woman ME disgrace,
The Fall, you must command,
I tell you plain, ye sons of men,
Her PROMISE must it clear;
If you discern how I do warn,
In her I must appear

In SPIRIT STRONG; and so I'M COME→→→
But could you all see plain,

That God has so sent forth HIS SON,

In SPIRIT to REDEEM,

And you went on to mock her hand,
More fatal now it would be
Than for the Jews, that did condemn
And nail'd ME to the tree;
My hands again, ye sons of men,
You'd nail them all the same,
In SPIRIT STRONG now I AM come,
And you the Woman blame,
To claim the wORD that's on record→→
Blind mortals, you must see

It is the SPIRIT of your LORD;
It can ne'er be done by she;
Yet in her form, it must be known,

The PROMISE I must claim,

If I do free the Fall, I say,

And all my Sons redeem,

The PROMISE strong to her must come, As it was made at FIRST;

I tell you plain, ye sons of men,

No other way 't can burst;

The PROMISE there the whole must clear,

And this I'm come to do;

And yet you do deny ME here,

MY GOSPEL none do know,

More than the Law the Jews did know;

They stumbled at the first,

And now I'M COME in SPIRIT Strong,
You like the Jews do burst.
Another way, you now do say,

My GOSPEL here doth stand;
Then can you prove that prophecy
Redeem'd the Law for man,
When I appear'd in BODY here,
In person like mankind?

I tell you, no man this can clear;
My Gospel I do find

Like Pomeroy's words, what's on record,“
Pretended all to be;

CONCERNING THE REDEMPTION.

"Tis but pretended prophecies
My Gospel they do see;

Because no man on earth can come
To say I did redeem

Them from the Law; you all do know,
The Jews in it are seen;

And so they stand, I say, for man

A proverb of the Law;

And you must know they're not redeem'd;

Then can you prove

it So,

That at that time the thing was done?

Then how can you appear

To say my Gospel true is come,

The way men plac'd it here?

No, no; 'tis I, who dwell on high,

My Gospel must reveal;

And in the SPIRIT now, I say,
My Gospel I'll fulfil;

To make you sons and heirs I'm come.
My Spirit I've sent here;

And yet, I know men do condemn,
Though they can never clear
The TRUTH at first it so did burst-
Like Pomeroy men go on,
Pretended prophecies at first,

They say my Gospel's come;
Can man appear the truth to clear?
They all must answer, No;
And own the Jews do now appear
Strong in the Law to go;
For unto ME they do not flee,
To make my Gospel good;
And so, I say, like Pomeroy,
My Gospel men allude
In nonsense here for to appear,
As they can't make it true;
Nor yet a word can they now clear

I've laid before their view.

My Spirit strong I said should come,
As my Disciples peun'd-

God sent the Spirit of his Son
Into your hearts to rend

The every veil, that now doth stand
Betwixt mankind and ME.

If you will gain the promis'd land,
And now like sons be free,

Made heirs of God, as it is said,

And joint heirs with the Son,

Then claim the PROMISE as 'twas male:.
-In Spirit you must join,

I tell you here, with her appear,

For to redeem the Fall,

For that's the Law of God you know,

The Woman HE must call,

357

Her Promise claim for to redeem,
And have the Serpent cast;
For interwoven must be seen,
There is no seam to burst

To part the Twa, you all must know,
For both alike do stand

And as the first on ME was plac'd,
The second I command
My Father's will for to fulfil,
And now fulfilled shall be;
Therefore I'm come in Spirit strong,
To claim it now in thee,

Ne'er taught of man behold thy hand,
For no man this did know,

The way my Gospel here doth stand
Till I reveal'd it so ;

So 'tis from ME, all flesh shall see,
'Tis I've reveal'd the word;
My Spirit strong to thee is come,
As in my Gospel said.

So learned men may now begin
To place a different way.
And by their learning may contend,
Pretended prophecy

My Bible here, that they can't clear
The thing was ever done;

But if I do not so appear,

The truth can never come;

So see the first, and judge the last,
How men will make it true,
That man's redemption then did burst→

Bring all before your view:

As I have said, the Jews misled,

And so the Law doth stand;

No learning here the thing can clear,
My Gospel to command,

To say 'twas then, ye sons of men,
Nor can you say you're free;
That in the Spirit strong I'm come,
To make you heirs with ME:
No, no; behind, you all will find,
Those words are hastening on;
But in the SPIRIT, all shall find,
To clear the whole I'm come.
The chapter through I bid men go
And now discern it deep;

The travailing Woman you may know
That thus alike does break,

To have you come her children strong-
And now her children see:

I am her HUSBAND, 't shall be known
To make you HEIRS with ME.
So SARAHS here you must appear;
The seed of faith must come;
Galatians w.

HOW THE WORLD IS TO BE RECONCILED TO GOD. 259

The Hagars I shall never clear,
For I shall cast out them.
So Isaacs, see, you all must be,
The Promise now to claim;
Tis from the Woman that is free,
When I her cause maintain,
The Serpent cast, my Spirit burst.
I tell you, in her strong;
This was my Promise at the first,
And so I say 'tis come.

So men dispute; but at the root
The whole is cast by she-
The Promise claim, ye sons of men,
And I shall make you free.
So I'll end here and say no more;
Let learned men dispute,
And if they say another way,

I'll surely strike them mute;

More marvellous here does this appear
To have my Spirit come,

The Fall in every thing to clear,
Than of her to be born."

Tuesday evening, Oct. 30, 1804. 1 Corinthians iv. 5-Judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God. Romans xvi. 20The God of Peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly, 2 Corinthians v. 19-To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

"The promise of reconciliation is made by the Gospel; but how can that reconciliation take place before Satan is bruised under your feet? Then how can you judge before the time that I come in the Spirit to bring to light all the hidden things of darkness and make manifest the counsels of the heart? But when were the hidden things of darkness brought to light, or made manifest to man? or, how can it be done by man? For who knoweth the counsels
