And as the everlasting gospel was preached in the apostles’ days to
all nations, that all nations might come into the order of it,
through the divine power, which brings life and immortality to
light, that they who are heirs of it, might inherit the power and
authority of it; so now, since all nations have drunk the whore’s
cup, and all the world hath worshipped the beast (but they whose
names are written in the book of life from the foundation of the
world, who have worshipped God in Spirit and in truth, as Christ
commanded), the everlasting gospel is to be, and is, preached again,
as John the divine foresaw it should, to all nations, kindreds,
tongues, and people. This everlasting gospel torments the whore, and
makes her and the beast to rage, even the beast that hath power over
the tongues, which are called the original, to order them, by which
they make divines, as they call them. But all that receive the
gospel, the power of God, which brings life and immortality to
light, come to see over the beast, devil, whore, and false prophet,
that darkened them and all their worships and orders, and come to be
heirs of the gospel, the power of God, which was before the beast,
whore, false prophet, and devil were, and will be, when they are all
gone and cast into the lake of fire. And they that are heirs of this
power and of this gospel, inherit the power which is the authority
of this order, and of our meetings. These come to possess the joyful
order of the joyful gospel, the comfortable order of the comfortable
gospel, the glorious order of the glorious gospel, and the
everlasting order of the everlasting gospel, the power of God, which
will last for ever, and will out-last all the orders of the devil,
and that which is of men or by men. These shall see the government
of Christ, who hath all power in heaven and earth given to him; and
of the increase of his glorious, righteous, holy, just government,
there is no end; but his government and his order will remain; for
he who is the author of it, is the first and the last, the beginning
and ending, the foundation of God, which over all stands sure,
Christ Jesus, the Amen.
