The answer of the Lord

Because of pride, malice, envy, and strife, Satan's fury heated the others. I banished them to be alone by themselves. * Here we can easily understand the origin of Hell. The arm of Divine Power cast out the infernal spirits to secure the society of the righteous in wisdom and happiness. He compels them to be confined in their own hellish union. When the kingdom of heaven comes to earth, the infernal host must be cast out and chained so that Man may live in heavenly union with God and his Angels. But their words must be known from these pages. The twenty-second page must be seen by man, and there they all condemned my mercies. He said he would surely be a Devil an adversary or slanderer, and all the angels should join him in blasphemy against their God. He even dared the angels to say a single word in praise of heaven or to lament their fall.

Now the mysteries must be known to everyone: how he compelled the fallen angels to worship him as they fell from heaven. He dared them to ever utter a murmur and boldly told them they would feel his rod. This made the fallen angels submit, and they trembled at their leader’s feet. For as it appears on the twenty-third page, he called them whining Devils there because they lamented their folly. I know that some of them surely repented leaving heavenly pleasures and said, the devil deceived them all.

But then he boldly answered them again, saying they could never regain my protection and that he would surely tear them to pieces. He made them afraid with his threats. He told them they would be heroes if they joined him in spirit and defied all the power of their God; then he would praise them for their company. As the twenty-fourth page shows, he asked what greater power they could fear if he was always there to protect them. He asked what greater power they expected. So he made them plead his merits, just as you referring to Joanna Southcott plead Christ's. Remember what he said. For as the twenty-fifth page appears, he surely told them there that God was unjust. He told them their tongues should not run so fast because a discord had burst within them all. I say that when they were hurried down from the heavens, confusion was found in all of them.
