text will be fulfilled, the light of the sun will be as the light of seven days; that is, all the different lights or Revelations, which God has given unto man during the six days, which are the six thousand years, which are now nearly past, will all shine before the bride and bridegroom in his Kingdom, as the light of seven perfect days, which is the seventh thousand years, which will become as one day with the old world, which are those whose blood is cleansed, the pruned fig-tree being the figure of them, spoken of in Luke, 13th chapter, 6---9th verses; by Satan being taken away.

8. "And he answered and said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it.

9. And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down,' But eternity, will be one day with the redeemed.

Then will be fulfilled the words which are wrote in Isaiah, 52nd chapter, 8th verse.---“ men shall lift up the voice; with the voice together Thy watchshall they sing, for they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring again Zion."

29th chapter, 18th verse.---"And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness."

52nd chapter, 10th verse.---" The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God."

The Lord hath suffered his people who have walked with him, to be broken and wounded in every age of the world. They have been, as it is said in Hebrews, 11th chapter, 35th---38th verses, ---“Had trial of cruel mockings, and scourgings, yea, moreover, of bonds and imprisonment.

37. They were stoned, they were sawn asunder,

were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheep-skins, and goat-skins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented.

38. They wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.

35. Tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection."

Than that life that they were then living in, till times of the Gentiles had come in, as it is written in Luke, 20th chapter 35th and 36th verses, lest they should die the second death, which is the death of the soul, as well as the body.

It is written in Revelation, 6th chapter, 9---11th verses.--"And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held.

10. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

11. And white robes were given unto every one of them, and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow-servants also, and their brethren that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled."

The words of Daniel, 7th chapter, part of 25th verse: will answer the inquiry of the souls under the altar: "And he shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand, until a time and times and the dividing of time.' which is the half time.

And this power the Lord has permitted Satan to have during the six thousand years, which is the time and times: one time from the creation to the flood; one time from the flood to the coming of Jesus; and one time from his crucifixion to his second coming.

When the fulness of these three times comes, the sufferings of the Lord's people on earth will be fulfilled; and the third time is shortened.

And when the Lord raises up the heads of Israel above their enemies, then will the words of Micah be fulfilled, 5th chapter, and 8th verse.--"And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles, in the midst of many people, as a lion among the beasts."

And it is evident from the verses that follow, which is Daniel, 7th chapter, 26th and 27th verses, that at the fulness of times for this adversary which is the Devil to be taken away, the kingdom will be given to the people of the Saints; "For the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.

27. And the kingdom, and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him."

Q. Who are the Saints?

A. Those who have been put to death by the enemy, for the testimony which they held, who suffered their bodies to be made martyrs, rather than lose that faith which is wrote in the Scriptures, of that which was to be done at the fulness of the three times, which is within the six thousand years.

Q. Who are the people of the Saints?

A. Those that are living and has the fulness of the Spirit, and done the work that Christ did, and are the branches of the Saints.

Then will be fulfilled the vision shewn to John in Revelation, 11th chapter, 15, 17, and 18th ver

ses.---" And the seventh angel sounded: and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The Kingdoms of this world are become the Kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ.

17. We give thee thanks O Lord God Almighty, which art and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. 18. And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the Prophets, and to the Saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great, and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth."

And Revelation, 20th chapter, 1---4 verses, shews who it is that the souls under the altar are crying for their blood to be judged and avenged upon: and who it is that hath worn out the faith delivered to the Saints, and destroyed the earth, as mentioned in the foregoing passages.

1. "And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit, and a great chain in his hand.

2. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil and Satan, and bound him a thousand years.

3. And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that, he must be loosed a little season.

4. And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus and for the word of God; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. over that which Satan sought to destroy, which is the old world, flesh and blood living a thousand years without death.

K

Here it is evident who it is that hath caused all the evil, even him that deceiveth the whole world: and that when he is cast down, the Lord will give his reward unto those who have suffered: and heal up the stroke of their wound, as said in the text: and the time when Satan will be cast out, is the time that the kingdom of God will come.

It said in Revelation, 12th chapter, 9th and 10th verses.---" And the great dragon was cast out that old serpent, called the Devil and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with

him

10. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation and strength, and the Kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.'

The meaning of Satan being cast into the bottomless pit, and into the earth, are the same thing; that he will be cast into the bowels of the planet, where those are who have died the second death; where our Lord descended, as spoken of by Peter, 1st Epistle, 3rd chapter, 19th and 20th verses, he descended into hell, and preached to those that were in disobedience before the flood.

Then those who are alive at the time, who have waited for the kingdom, and found in obedience with his testimony when he comes, he will make their vile bodies like his own glorious body, Philippians, 3rd chapter, 21st verse; by his Spirit, which he will put within them, Romans 8th chap. 11th verse: so their mortal bodies will put on immortality, without seeing corruption, or dying, or a bone of them broken, Ist Corinthians, 15th chap. 51---53rd verses, which is the sentence pronounced at the fall, so their earthly bodies will be changed to heavenly ones. And the Psalmist says, in
