The book of wonders

"The Spirit of Truth and knowledge is before you. Let those who reprove you answer how you had the wisdom and knowledge of how Pomeroy original: "**" would act, to put it in print. If you had acted according to the words to point it out to mankind, you would have brought it around like the Bible, to show them that what stands without conditions shall be fulfilled in the end.

"Now come back to the Prophet: Isaiah 25:8. 'He will swallow up death in victory, and the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall be taken away from all the earth: for the Lord has spoken it.'

This, let men discern, is promised to be fulfilled without any conditions being placed. Isaiah 55:12:

'For you shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the forest shall clap their hands.'

Here no conditions are made, but a positive decree that such a change shall take place as is mentioned in the following verse:

'Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the Lord for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.'

Here let men discern this chapter, and what the thoughts of the Lord are for man in the end. Then come to the sixty-fifth chapter:

'For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. But be glad and rejoice forever in that which I create: for behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.'

This, let men discern, stands without any conditions because it is a promise the Lord has made, which he will accomplish in the end. And all these scriptures that I have ordered you to bring forward, saying they shall be, they will find I shall fulfill in as perfect and true a

manner as Pomeroy original: "**" fulfilled the words I spoke of him in the beginning—to say original: "so asay" your writings should go out by him. Therefore, I ordered you to present in a straight line how he tried the Ministers, the pains he took to bring them forward with him, but they all refused. I ordered you to write to different Ministers so that it might not be said you had tried no one but him; but if you had written to others, they would have acted just like him. Therefore, I ordered you to write to others to invite them and threatened them with the judgments that would come through unbelief. Yet there was no way they would come forward; for by him I said it should be done, and by Pomeroy original: "*" it was done. Perfectly so they will find the scriptures that you have pointed out in like manner.

"Now come to Daniel 7. Let them discern in what manner he saw the vision—in what manner my coming is with the clouds of heaven to bring in the kingdom that I have promised by the Prophets. And let them discern that no conditions stand there in the end, when I come according to the vision and according to the Prophets.

Zechariah 14:

'And the Lord my God shall come, and all the Saints with you.—And the Lord shall be King over all the earth: in that day there shall be one Lord, and his name one.'

Luke 21:

'And then shall they see the Sign of the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your Redemption draws near.'

Here let men discern: I said this shall be—that the redemption of man shall be brought in at my coming, according to the Prophets, and I shall come according to my Gospel. Here the words"
