That Doctor Bengel was the 2nd angel representing the body of messengers spoken of in REVELATION xiv. 8, has been shown in my above mentioned 3d volume, in which it is made manifest, that the mission of the 2nd angel is as well prophetical, as the mission of the first angel, REVEL. xiv. 6. But in this treatise we had only to mention matters, which have been explained in my quoted volume. Doctor Bengel and the whole body of messengers who came from his school proclaiming the coming of Christ about the year 1836, and Wm. Miller and the army of preachers with him who were proclaiming Christ's coming about the year 1843, and others proclaiming it in some other period, were ignorant about the manner of his coming or of his manifestation for establishing his peaceable reign. All these and many other things have been reserved to the 3d angel or messenger, spoken of in REVEL. xiv. 9. This is our mission. The martyr on the white cloud in the 14th verse, having "in his hand a sharp Sickle," was my leader in what I had to perform in the Roman Catholic Church in the year 1838 as the 3d angel REVEL.: xiv. 9, representing the body of messengers, by whom the proclamation of the contents of REVEL.: xiv. 9, 10, 11, must be made everywhere. And those great events and the prophecies in which they have been predicted, have been explained in the first three of my above mentioned German volumes; and we have so many credentials or signs according to prophecies testifying our mission, that while we were writing the fifth of my above mentioned five volumes, we were repeating, that sensible readers of those volumes were aware, that five hundred volumes could be written, testifying our mission. And when they study this whole volume and comprehend it, they will be convinced of the same truth.
