His past offenses I will forgive,
And bring in PEACE for all.
But if he will not, I will tell his fate:
My threats shall appear.
If he does not heed My anger,
He shall bear My vengeance.
Did I come down from Heaven's High Throne
And make a world below?
All was made out of confusion;
You do not know the Earth—
In what disorder all was found,
And how darkness appeared.
I say there was no solid ground,
But all was chaos here.
But I will now explain this to men,
As you do not understand;
But near your sister’s house*,
You may see it all.
A likeness appears there;
You know the ground shakes,
And so the entire globe appeared
When I began to take
The cause in hand! And I formed man
Out of the primal dust;
Then I made the dry land solid ground,
And placed the Earth in order.
You shall all know that the grass
Was quickly formed by Me;
Then I created living beasts
And formed the lofty trees.
As men began to multiply,
I improved their talents;
And so I made the raging sea,
And I set boundaries of love.
The dry land that appears here
Would perish with its drought
If I had not prepared the clouds
To come from Heaven’s height!
You shall all know the sea draws it up
To wet the barren ground,
For soon all below would be barren
If no rain were found.
For all shall see the rain is from Me,
And when I do not appear,
You soon see your scorching fields,
And how everything withers here.

• A piece of ground at the foot of a hill, near a well of water, which was called a boggy place, or peat bog. When anyone puts their foot upon the edge, the entire ground for a quarter-acre shakes before them. In wet weather, it is impassable.

So ground was found to be barren to man
When I withheld My rain;
A famine was found in the land—
Be wise, you sons of men.
Survey and examine your every land!
And see how everything grows;
Without My rain, nothing can stand.
You know the scorching Sun
Would soon burn up your every hope,
And barren ground would appear.
The pride of men must surely fall
If Satan conquers here.
I ask: what Earth can he bring forth
With all his boasted pride?
For the foundation of the Earth
By ME was surely laid.
I placed the foaming billows,
And they know their boundaries;
But they would soon destroy this Earth
If I let their boundaries go.
For they all stand in MY HAND,
And I have set boundaries for all;
And I can command the proud waves
So that they must fall backward.
Wave after wave often comes,
And the rude sea appears;
But it is by My Powerful Hand
That they fear the shore;
Because My boundary is found by them,
They can go no further.
And HELL shall be bound in the exact same way,
And you shall all know that.
Wave after wave may hasten on
And appear like raging seas;
But know, the shore is fixed for MAN,
And the proud Tyrant there
Must surely stop his every hope;
I made a shore for MAN!
And by the raging of the seas,
I have shown you Satan’s plan:
How he will swell in rage from Hell,
But shall not break the tide;
He will swell like foaming billows,
Like the application of angry seas.
So now, you sons of men, see plainly
What lies before your view:
Can the proud seas sustain your lives
If I let go of their boundaries?
