An explanation of the parables

my Love, to destroy my Rival Satan, in the end, whose
arts are to draw mankind from ME, I should as easily
have shewn them I could save my Life on the Cross,
as when I arose on the third day. Therefore, as
Man, I came in disguise, to bear all their mockery,
their shame, and contempt, that they cast on ME.
This I bore, as Man, and disguised myself of being
God, or having power with God, to destroy mine
enemies; but had I done it at that time, I must
have destroyed the WHEAT with the Tares A reference to the parable in Matthew 13:24-30, where pulling up weeds/tares too early would damage the good wheat/believers.: for
how could I preserve MAN, and destroy the power
of Satan, in justice to my Father's honour to
bruise his Head, before I had suffered him to bruise
my Heel? But how could my Heel be bruised
by the malice of men, if I had not appeared in dis-
guise amongst them, to be in the Flesh like man,
and conceal my power on the Cross? Here was our
Love united together, for ME to act in disguise, and
my Father's power concealed, to fulfil the one, and
have my Heel bruised, that I might come again in
honour and glory, to bruise the Serpent's head, as I
told thee, when I spoke so powerfully in thee—
That hell should tremble, and should fear—that I
would bind the tempter to his den—and destroy his
power, as the Hermit in Disguise destroyed the power
of his adversary. And those whose hearts are up
unto ME, longing for my return, to come and pos-
sess the Kingdom, as the woman longed for the re-
turn of her lover, to possess his hand and heart, will
find my Love unveiled, and shewn to them in their
distress, as the man shewed his: but as disguise was
in the body, when I came amongst mankind, that
it was but few knew who I was, so I have led thee on
in the Spirit, in such disguise, that thou hast often
taken in question, whether it was thy Lord or not,
that in all things led thee on, to put these simple
things in print: and many minds have been like
thine, not discerning the depth of the whole, while
the unbelieving world would no more believe it was
