That all his creatures he'll deceive;
None but themselves will they believe.
"Then they no inner court can be ; They draw their judgment not from ME; Because I bid them judge no man ; For different gifts I said would come, As different as your members are; Then sure the OUTWARD COURT is there; That is, I mean the outward man : They place my gospel by their plan; And by their plan they all appear, And so the outward court is here, I tell you, in a crooked line. From such professors can you find A path that's straight, wherein to go? And from within thou answerest, no: Their paths are crooked all to thee; And so I say, they are to ME. Then they are but the outward man, That from their judgment form their plan, Which in my gospel I forbid ;
For different gifts to man is said
That in the end there must appear,
To make my church ONE BODY here.
The gift of wisdom it must come,
And different spirits to discern,
And divers gifts I said would be,
And prophecies I said you'd see
Amongst the different gifts appear;
Then sure the inner court is here,
Which hangs together in this chain.
The INNER COURT I'll now explain :
Like my disciples it must appear,
And judge of ME as they judge there,
Such miracles could never come
From none but GOD'S ANOINTED SON;
Because the power must come from heaven,
That unto ME that time was given.
And as I said I was his Son,
They saw the wonders I had done,
And so within they did appear,
To judge from faith the truth was clear;
From miracles that they did see,
They judg'd the truth did come from ME;
And so the standard did appear;
It was by faith they walked there;
And so by faith they all went through,
And brought the Gospel to your view.
"So this by faith, I say, was done,
And charity in them did come,
That as a God I'd not deceive
Those that by faith so right believ'd;
A thing was never done before;
Without a God it could not appear:
And though they saw a crooked line,
They judg'd my wisdom laid behind,
That all my words I would fulfil.
Faith was their anchor; wisdom still
Was fixed in them at the time;
They judged the miracles divine
Could never come from any hand,
Without a God for to command
The wind and weather to obey;
They pondered all before them lay,
And then they judg'd the whole divine.
And now their offspring bright shall shine;
For 'tis by faith you walk the same→
You've seen the truth how fast it came ;
You've seen how all did hasten on;
Then to my Bible you did come,
Like my disciples then of old;
You've seen the truth, how all was told;
You see my Bible, how it doth stand,
And so, like them, you all command,
That there's on power but a God
Could in such wondrous manner lead,
To have the mysteries so come round,
The wise and learned to confound:
Because the truth confounds them all,
If they reject the heavenly call,
They can't reject the truth is here,
Unless from Satan they appear
For to affirm it all a lie-
In Satan's words they must deny,
And so in Satan's words appear
For to deny a prophet here.
"So this is now the OUTWARD MAN;
For to the truth they never came;
Then how can they be plac'd within?
And now to reason I'll begin :
The INWARD MEN did so appear,
To look within, and see it clear;
And then my Bible they did see,
These promises were made by Me,
To bring it all in a straight line,
And prove my Bible all divine,
That every word therein is true:
My Bible's open to their view,
And I am bringing round the chain,
As I have said, for to redeem
My sons and daughters from the fall,
That now in ME you may live all.
Because the fulness now is come-
The GODHEAD BODILY with MAN,
It must in union now agree:
The inner court, if men do see
That Joel's prophecies are here;
The vision to the youth appear'd,
The woman gave the prophecy,
And mark the manner how they lie,
That both together near did come,
And to each other were unknown,
Until I brought the mystery round,
That both together should be found,
To prove my prophet Joel true.
And now my Spirit, all shall know,
I'll pour upon the sons of men,
And Satan hath not long to reign;
Though he in power will now appear,
Because he knows his end is near-
And the Philistines he will shake;
Like Sampson's strength will Satan's break,
I tell you now, on every man,
That in their strength and wisdom stand.
So in their strength let men appear;
They'll find a Sampson's strength is near:
Because that Satan's strength will come,
And pull their fatal ruin on.
"But here I see thy heart within;
To ponder deep thou dost begin,
Because to Sampson it cannot be :
A type of hell, is judg'd by thee,
I cannot make the mystery clear;
For Sampson's foes destroyed were ;
Then 'tis the devil's foes must fall,
And bring the ruin on them all.
And so I say the end will burst ;
For Satan's friends like foes are plac'd ;
Because they all despised thee,
And said that Satan fills thee up;
Therefore they say that they do hate
The writings, for the devil's sake:
Because to him they all do place,
And so the devil they disgrace,
And in their malice prove his foe; For there they place thy writings so; And so I say they make the sound, And the Philistines they are found; And Satan's malice will abound, I say, to fall upon their heads: Because they say their anger's spread, Against the writings which came from hell. Then Satan's malice there will fall, I say, with fury on their heads: And they no promise have to plead, То say I died to set them free, And bring my vengeance all on he; That is, the devil I do mean. And FAITH the promises must gain; But they have got no faith at all: They place my vengeance for to fall, I tell thee, on the sinner's head ; And so for hell is all their plead. For there the Tempter they do free, And Satan's words, like mine, will be→ "What hypocrites do you appear! "You say you hate the woman there; "Because her words came all from hell; "You said from me her heart did swell, "To tell you all what must appear, "And so you hate the woman there; "Because you said she wrote from me, "And so your malice, now I see, "Was all against the power of hell; "And now my power you shall feel, "Because your love was not for me; "You hated the woman, I did see, "Not for her virtue, as 'twas there, "But her with me you did compare, "And so your malice you did show."Like the Philistines, such will know Like Sampson's fury 'twill appear, In Satan's anger, they'll see clear; Because their building is not strong; They have no church to build upon, That I shall make their building sure, Where Satan's malice can't appear, I say, to pull their buildings downIt is my woRD the walls are found, That Satan's power cannot shake; But on the other he will break, And all the building he'll pull down; These churches must fall to the ground,
Who judge his strength I did cut off,
When I expired upon the cross.
But now they'll find, like Sampson's hair,
His strength in fury will appear,
To pull down vengeance now on men,
Though he must perish now with them:
For all together they must fall.
The Six foretel's the end of all,
How the six thousand they must drop;
But I shall build the others up,
That like the inner court appear,-
The chain is fasten'd, you see clear;
And so I'll fasten every word,
And bring my Bible as I said:
The Law and Gospel now shall join,
As Joel's words are to mankind,
That all the inner court may see,
I mean of men that judges be
In what a manner this came round,
To have the chain so perfect found,
That like my Bible does appear;
And all my prophets now I'll clear,
And bring Isaiah to their view-
The Mighty Counsellor, they shall know,
Doth in this counsel now appear,
To shew the visions as they are,
And in the spirit doth explain
The every vision, what they mean.
"For by these visions all may see
One link of chain without to be,
Without another to come round;
And so my Bible all is found,
That in one link it doth appear;
Then who can make my Bible clear,
Before the other link doth come,
That GoD and MAN they both must join,
So perfect in the TRINITY?
The GODHEAD must with MAN agree,
To make your happiness complete,
As I at first did him create;
In my own image, and my form,
I said I first created man',
To be in favour then with me;
I ask what flness there can be,
If I do not fulfil the whole,
And so the chain bring round to all ? ·.
That God and man alike must join,
To bring my glorious kingdom down,
