Here in the quoted verses at Christ’s coming Christ’s relation to him who overcometh, is such as the relation of a father to his son, who inherits from the father all things which the father possesses.  Christ has not been known in the churches of Babylon, as he is made known in our mission to introduce the New Jerusalem.  Christ in his appearance in flesh was the Head, that is the representative of his body of followers; but they could not establish his peaceable reign.  It was necessary, that through the course of centuries matters should be so developed, as Prophets of the Bible as well as in the subsequent ages did prophesy; and I, to be qualified for my present mission, had to go not only through the usual studies of the Roman Catholic Church, but I had also to study continuously, with all sincerity of my heart, the sources of human knowledge and the investigations of different parties and sects, to support the Roman Catholic Church against the assaults of her adversaries, and was found qualified to be public Imperial Royal Professor of Bibical Literature in that Church.  In the charge of my Professorship I considered myself peculiarly bound to defend with the use of the Bible that church against all aggressions of the adversaries.  I did not know at that time, that the spirit of my Lord was preparing me through all stages of my life for my present office.  But while I was investigating the depth of the “burden,” of that church, comparing it with the Jewish and Heathen antiquities and with the developement of the mysteries of those antiquities through the centuries of the Christian Era, when I was duly prepared and the time of the last development of preparations for the Millennial glory arrived, I was called by messengers of the Heavenly Congress to “the works,” which were to be performed and explained by my instrumentality, and, under the direction of Heavenly leaders, who were most qualified to be my leaders in “those works,” I overcame all difficulties and I kept the “works of my spiritual Father Jesus Christ unto the end,” until all has been performed and explained, that belongs to the commencement of the Millennial glory, or what is the same, for the New Era or the New Jerusalem.

And we, that is, the whole body of messengers whom I represent, have received “the iron rod and the morning star,” the two symbols of our mission.  The first symbol testifies, that nations which reject our message of Peace, will be broken to pieces.  We do not break them, but we announce to them judgments by which they will be broken.  But we are laboring to save nations, that they as god’s people might come out from Babylon, that they be not partakers of her sins and receive not of her plagues, Revel. xviii:  4.  If people hear our voice, they will be partakers of the Heavenly blessings prepared for them in the New Era or in the New Jerusalem, and while they will be saved, their political and ecclesiastical systems “as the vessels of a potter will be broken
