for he shall yet serve God, When God by man has subfree. The body is cursed

stands not, is subjected to Satan, when evil is kept in subjection. jected him, then shall man be through that which he was subjected to: through the influence of Satan, until the last enemy, death, shall be destroyed. Then Satan will be one alone at the final resurrection, for he then will only be alive with the evil,—the evil in every man and woman is alone-there is no supporter for the evil,—in all, it differs. It is written: "There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother." Satan will be one alone at the final resurrection, and these words will not be fulfilled till the day of the final resurrection. There are two deaths to the evil;—the first is the death of the body;-the second, the death of the soul. But those who are his dead men, with his dead body, will they arise free from the evil at the first resurrection ?

Before the foundations of the earth were laid, or before an earthly house was given to man, his spirit dwelt in God-in Paradise-the heaven of heavens and in the presence of God. His spirit had, or had not rebelled in heaven, ages before He had given Adam a body; when this planet was yet without form and void-one chaotic mass.-The inheritance was then divided-light and darkness-good and evil. Through the mercy and longsuffering of God, another opportunity was given to the rebellious spirits in an earthly house, and good and evil were placed before him,—but instead of man subduing the evil,it subdued him ;-then Zion and Jerusalem above withdrew, and Satan overcame them, through the woman desiring her own image. The second advocate is now come, and causes man to return to his first or former love :-Christ and Jerusalem above. If ye love Satan ye cannot love God. Solomon says: "What is thy beloved more than another beloved? And, whither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among women? whither is thy beloved turned aside ?—that we may seek him with thee; that is the second advocate, Christ with Jerusalem above;-these are the two beloved, but if ye seek Christ without the other beloved, the body perishes and you only get the salvation of the soul.-Christ withdrew

from the woman, to see what Satan would do in the field ;— the field is the world, and the world is the body of the woman. Then it is for her to cast out Satan, the bondman, the man of sin out of both male and female. Jerusalem below is in bondage with her children, but Jerusalem above with her shall cast the bondman out of the earth-out of the body of man, and the fire of the Lord shall be kindled and devour him, and bind him with iron bands, and the immortal shall rule the mortal by the second advocate and the evil power shall be bound till the little season, till he comes out and deceives the four corners of the earth again,—then the jury will be called, and the verdict given against Satan; it will then be proved that Christ paid the debt for the two debtors.-That is the end of the seventh thousand years, then Satan will be bound to serve God. Those grafted into the life of Christ, will go on unto perfection. Can any one pay off the debt for his own body?— That debt is already paid. "For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance."-It is written, that if a thief be found stealing "he shall restore sevenfold, even the substance of his house" which is his body. If we only restore that which was stolen it is not sufficient. When death comes it takes the body, but Satan is not satisfied with the body-he holds soul and body till the resurrection. King Ahasuerus held out to Queen Esther the golden sceptre, and the king granted her life and the lives of her servants, then were they not free? A Queen reigns in England, if we keep her laws, are we not her freemen, and will she not protect her subjects?Those who will not receive the second advocate, are not of the house of Israel. That Spirit has descended from above, and no man hath ascended up to heaven, but the Son of man which came down from heaven.-The second advocate has come and is here to deliver man from his creditor, to blot out as a thick cloud man's transgressions. -There is but one God, and one Son immortal, and that Son touched the top of the sceptre, and yet the murderers slew Him.-Who then is the bride of Christ ?-It is Jerusalem above, and she now touches the top of the sceptre, for the lives of her children-the children of Jerusalem below, and

she by the power of her sister shall go forth to totally destroy and slay the man of sin.-Jesus hath sent forth the Spirit, to draw you into the Spirit of Christ, if ye will have Him;-then the mortal spirit of the earth shall hear the immortal Spirit of heaven, and shall dwell in it till it has done the will of God.-Every one who dwelleth in that Spirit knows it, for if he be tempted to do evil, he finds that he cannot do it; though he be tempted to go to the slaughterhouse to drink of the cup of abominations, which is the way to hell-the grave-he cannot touch it.-The evil spirit is set to try and prove the way of God, and the whole house of Israel shall be tried, but the world shall be happy and slumber; but when the vail is drawn back, then shall their misery appear. There is the spirit of man, which is the life of the body, and there is the Spirit of God, and the Lord saith I will clothe man afresh, and he who seeks to be clothed afresh, must first be unclothed of Satan's clothing; then he shall be clothed in light which no darkness can cover.-But if the soul of man turn not to God, it lies in the grave until it returns to give an account of the deeds it hath done, and the second death divides the spirit from the soul and body. There is death in the pot,-bring salt, that it may be cast in, that death may be cast out.Albeit that man is born in sin and shapen in iniquity, if he be grafted into Christ-and Christ grafted into him,—the evil in him will be subject to the two Spirits.-Man is first grafted into Christ, to bear incorruptible fruit.-Jew and Gentile both bear incorruptible fruit.-What is that fruit? Forgive me my debt.-Behold! a man doing evil day by day asks forgive me my debts !-But if we are grafted into Christ, and be tempted to murder, steal, (in the way of business) or do any manner of evil-and do it not—do we not overcome that evil?-It is to him that overcometh evil who shall possess all things.-Behold! the Spirit makes it known, and shews that evil subject to Christ and Jerusalem above. Then we dwell between the root and the branch.Why should we murmur or complain though we be tempted? -Jesus said: 66 The works that I do shall ye do also."-Was

not every evil made subject to Him ?-But who has asked for the two Spirits; for they were made blind by the vail being drawn. The creature was made subject to vanity that God might shew His power in the end. "For if through the offence of one many be dead,-much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, by one man Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.”—“Much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ."-"So by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life," for "where sin abounded, grace did much more abound."-And if the power of God in the end shall be so munificently displayed by grace to those of the common salvation,-the Gentiles who are only grafted into Christ and obtain blessings unto the salvation of the soul only-how much more exceeding abundantly shall the glory of His people Israel-the natural branches of the true olive-be manifested by His power in the end, who obtain both soul and body;-who will be changed and fashioned into the likeness of His glorious body?" Shall we receive good at the hand of God and shall we not receive evil?" - Discern righteous Judgment O! man and murmur not,—but rather rejoice at the great wisdom of God to usward, who maketh "ALL THINGS (both good and evil) work together for good, to them who are the called according to His purpose."-Whom He knew and foreknew-who dwelt in the brightness of His presence ages before the foundations of this earth were laid;—it being then His eternal decree and determination to raise us to a higher glory in the heaven of heavens, and by His own predestination and will, that we should be conformed to the image of His dear Son.-O! man, did God ask you to suffer-to drink the bitterness of sorrow and misery,—without first determining and causing His only begotten Son to suffer--to drink the bitterness of sorrows to the very dregs?-Did you disobey through evil, and were you to be taught true obedience through sufferings-without God Himself in the person of His own dear Son, first causing Him to learn obedience by the things which he suffered as it is written: "Though He were a Son, yet learned He obedience by

the things which He suffered."-Then if Jesus who was without sin had to learn obedience through the path of sorrowshow much more we, who were born in sin and shapen in iniquity?-Behold then, O! man, the great goodness, mercy and wisdom of God to usward. He lowered us unto exaltation-He humbled us that we might be exalted. Lucifer the son of the morning with all his hosts tried to exalt themselves in heaven-to an equality with the Deity,-but behold in a moment they were abased to the footstool the earth, with the evil. The spirits of the just were humbled that they might be exalted to a greater glory, and so it is written: "Whosoever shall exalt himself, shall be abased: and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted."- "When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee, cometh: he may say unto thee: friend, GO UP HIGHER--then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee."-Wherefore, C! man, "if thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice, marvel not at the matter for He that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they."-God's thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways His ways: "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts."-O! vain and foolish man, can you measure the great wisdom of God from your sleepy and helpless condition?-from your EARTHLY juxta-position?-Did not God say: "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an helpmate for him " -Were not the spirits alone-without an helpmate before that the foundations of the earth were laid?-Have you yet received this helpmate ?-Did not the Lord God cause a deep sleep to fall upon man and he slept, and is still asleep to this hour. Is the earthly woman by your side your helpmate? Is dead earth your destiny, your abiding place? Do you hope to enter glory through the two-leaved gates of corruption?—are these your portals ?-did Jesus ?-O! Lord God Almighty great is thy wisdom in having prepared for man-the two-leaved gates of living earth through which we must enter before that we can
