The answer of the Lord

That was made as firm as heaven at first;
It cannot move: and so the end will burst forth,
And, like the Olive-tree, must stand steady,
And its decrees can never be moved by man.
So here you see the OLIVE would not move;
And here you see your GOD, in perfect love,
To bring his kingdom, and not Satan's at all;
For everything must fall exactly like that chapter.
For as the FIG-TREE denied the same refused to be king in the parable,
I tell you all, such heavenly joys will come,
That men will wish for no promotion,
Except what flows from ME in all sweetness:
For when the heavenly joys burst upon you,
And you taste the sweetness of the fruit,
You will say you will abide within its sweetness;
CHRIST is your KING, and Satan is denied.
So now I say you have come to the VINE;
I am the ROOT from which the branches grew;
And I know they will stick close to the VINE;
And they will never mind man's promotion,
But they will surely cleave close to the VINE,
And say, "we will now leave all other pleasures:
"For if we now appear in the Vine,
"We know the TREE OF LIFE is promised there;
"And Christ has promised to protect his Vine;
"And we will stand there, and shine in his vineyard."
So I know this will be the minds of men,
To stand still and see my kingdom come:
They will now expect the Olive-branch in Peace;
The sweetest joys from Heaven will now increase;
"And we now expect to see this in faith:
"CHRIST IS THE VINE, and we are the BRANCHES.
"Then how can we promote Satan as a King?
"We have signed the bond to bring Christ's vineyard now;
"And we will not move one step to break the law;
"CHRIST IS THE VINE, and we are the Branches too,
"Supported in everything by his hand,
"And we will stand steady in his Vineyard."
So I know the Trees cannot move here,
Those that stand in me, and wait to prove the truth;
They will not regard the honors done by man,
But they will stand steadfast in my Vineyard;
And it is in vain for Earth or Hell to move
The steadfast hearts that now stand in love:
Because the joys of Heaven will flow fast;
The pleasures you will taste below are sweet,
If you now say you will stick close to the VINE,
And let the world shine in their own promotion,
