107. When He shall deliver up the kingdom, and present it unto
the Father, spotless, saying I have overcome and have trodden the
wine-press alone, even the wine-press of the fierceness of the
wrath of Almighty God.
108. Then shall He be crowned with the crown of His glory, to sit
on the throne of His power to reign for ever and ever.
109. But behold and lo, we saw the glory and the inhabitants of the
telestial world, that they were as innumerable as the stars in the
firmament of heaven, or as the sand upon the sea shore,
110. And heard the voice of the Lord, saying--these all shall bow
the {252} knee, and every tongue shall confess to Him who sits upon
the throne for ever and ever.
111. For they shall be judged according to their works, and every
man shall receive according to his own works, his own dominion, in
the mansions which are prepared,
112. And they shall be servants of the Most High; but where God and
Christ dwell they cannot come, worlds without end.
113. This is the end of the vision which we saw, which we were
commanded to write while we were yet in the Spirit.
114. But great and marvelous are the works of the Lord, and the
mysteries of His kingdom which He showed unto us, which surpass all
understanding in glory, and in might, and in dominion,
115. Which He commanded us we should not write while we were yet in
the Spirit, and are not lawful for man to utter;
116. Neither is man capable to make them known, for they are only
to be seen and understood by the power of the Holy Spirit, which
God bestows on those who love Him, and purify themselves before Him;
117. To whom he grants this privilege of seeing and knowing for
themselves;
118. That through the power and manifestation of the Spirit, while
in the flesh, they may be able to bear His presence in the world of
glory.
119. And to God and the Lamb, be glory, and honor, and dominion for
ever and ever. Amen.
