1 HEARKEN, and lo, a voice as of one
sent down from on high, who is mighty and powerful, whose going forth is unto
the ends of the earth, yea, whose voice is unto
men—aPrepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths
straight.
2 The akeys of the bkingdom of God are committed unto man on the earth, and from thence shall the cgospel roll forth unto the ends of the earth, as the dstone which is cut out of the mountain without hands shall roll forth, until it has efilled the whole earth.
|

way of the Lord, prepare ye the bsupper of the
Lamba, make ready for the
cBridegroom.

3a the supper of the Lamb This is the Wedding Feast wherein Christ takes unto himself the Church or the Kingdom on earth, which will bring forth his children, his sons and his daughters; which in part the supper of the sacrament, and the processes thereof, do so bring sanctification by degrees unto those who do partake worthly coming ever closer unto God and as they do continue in the Spirit, which over the course doth reveal all things, all truth and holiness unto man. Of course that great Wedding Feast will be at Christ's coming and the marriage of the Kingdom of Earth with the Kingdom of Heaven. | |

earth, that the inhabitants thereof may receive it, and be prepared for the

in heaven, bclothed in the brightness of his
cglory, to meet the dkingdom of God which
is set up on the earth.
6 Wherefore, may the akingdom of God go forth, that the bkingdom of heaven may come, that thou, O God, mayest be cglorified in heaven so on earth, that thine denemies may be subdued; for ethine is the honor, power and glory, forever and ever. Amen.
