And mark in print how this last page stands,
Where the Seven Days' Dispute ended;
The print appears in three different ways,
And now men shall hear three different answers.
For in large letters, plain to behold,
You will see the truth from what the woman told:
OVER THE EARTH MY KINGDOM SHALL NOW COME;
THE GLORY OF THE LORD shall be clearly seen,
As perfectly as these letters appear,
As different from the rest as you shall clearly see.
And you all shall find the change to be great;
I will gain my footing here, as you all shall see;
And I will now become God over all the earth.
Three different prints must be known to all,
Which appear in this last dispute with both—
I mean the woman and the devil there.
And it was the same when I gave up the ghost:
Three different LANGUAGES were placed over my head,
OF GREEK, LATIN, and HEBREW too. original: "OF GREEK, and LATIN, and OF HEBREW too;" referring to the inscription on the Cross.
Now let them both be laid before your view,
For I am speaking this to the sons of men;
And now is the time you all shall find ME KING.
So now rejoice, you fallen sons of men!
Because I will make your standing more secure,
And much more firm to endure,
Than it ever could have been before you fell. The Reader will observe that if Satan had never tempted Man to fall, Man would still be liable to his temptations whenever he chose to begin during the 6,000 years. Therefore, infinite wisdom permitted the Fall and secured Man from eternal ruin by preserving the Tree of Life from his reach until the fullness of time came. At that time, Man is restored to the image and likeness of his Maker and secured from the power of Satan, who will be so bound and chained that he will have no access to deceive Man anymore. Then Man may take from the Tree of Life and live! Can this all-wise and merciful plan originate from the weak brain of a simple woman, or from any human wisdom, whether natural or acquired?
For now is the time I have come to conquer Hell;
So here is my answer to the sons of men:
If Paradise was lost, you may regain it,
If you stand in faith by the woman,
And take the GOOD FRUIT from the woman’s hand!
For now I will answer the woman here,
If her works all appear to come from herself;
Then something more than human is on earth
To bring a second birth to man!
And there must be something new in this world,
For it is more than all the learned men could do
To act like her and bring such mysteries about.
Something more than a woman is in every sound!
And if she vainly boasts that it is from herself,
I say her pride must equal that of Hell,
And she must judge herself superior to this race!
She must disgrace all the learned men.
For now I will issue a challenge—none shall plead with her
To say my Bible is true while she is misled.
I will defy all the learned world
To prove their Bibles and prove her a liar,
Or to say my Spirit does not lead her on;
If so, she must be a wonder born to man!
But if she appeared as such a boasting fool,
I would drown her senses and send wise men here,
So that they should soon confound her haughty pride.
But now, vain men, your wisdom is all being tested,
For there is no one who can confound her hand,
Because she now stands humbly in FAITH,
And confesses the Spirit came from ME—
Or "some invisible power," as she says. Handwritten note in right margin is illegible.
So she has ascribed none of this to her own wisdom.
But fools, in their folly, have shown their foolishness
To judge that man—who is pronounced "dead" to knowledge—
Could ever lead in such a wondrous manner.
If so, they must be all divine in wisdom,
And must pretend to shine alongside their Maker.
So now, vain fools, I would have you appear
And lower your pride, or give a full answer here;
If you could bring about such wondrous mysteries,
Then I would soon come and confound every sound.
So here are the different answers now for man,
For those who deny her written hand:
That you must now appear like the serpent,
To speak in lies that you can never clear.
And like the serpent, all your pride must fall,
Because you now rob your GOD of everything—
Of every honor due to His name—
And so I will surely put your pride to shame.
So here you hear a different sound from men,
But now see how the end is crowned for Satan:
Because see how the enmity stands—
The Seventh Day, and now the whole command.
For the enmity is placed in both there:
Satan confesses he is against the Lord,
And she appears against the devil,
And boldly told him that she hates him there.
Then you have come back to the Creation;
He killed the sheep, but I preserved the LAMB; Lamb Satan influenced the killing of the "sheep" (believers/martyrs), but Christ, the Lamb of God, is preserved for the final victory.
Because I MYSELF was the LAMB that was slain,
But I did not contend for my own death
To bring my murder then upon his head;
It is the murder of my followers that is laid against him!
