Theolog'ica1 Gleanings from xs 151102t0t{, 12 Pen of the Seventeenth C CUM r Christian, being with Him anointed to the Priestly, Prophetical, and Royal Dignity. Bence there will be no bonds or impo-sitions; but the holy unction among these new born spirits will be all in all.- This Catholic and anointed church, must be perfectly holy, so that it may worthily bear the name of the Lord our holiness. " Until there be made ready such a church upon the earth so holy Catholic, so anoint-ed; that it is without spat or wrinkle, and ihat is adorned as a bride to meet her husband; Christ will not personally de-scend to solemnize the marriage and pre-sent the same to His Father. But when the bridal church shall be made ready, and thoroughly cleansed, and sanctified from every spot of defilement • through the blood of Christ, then He will el Great ' Mistake. Notwithstanding it will be brough forth into visibility as coming out of the wilderness within a short period. • Then will it go on to multiply and pro pagate itself universally, not only to the 1 number of the first born, ( which is 144 OW.) unitalso to the remnant of the seed, against whom the dragon shall make con- Lineal war.' Wherefore the spirit of David shall most eminently revive in this church, and most specially in sonic or other select members of it, as the blossoming root, which is to precede the day of Soloman in the blessed millennium, these will have might given them to overcome the dragon and his angels, even as David and his army over-came Goliah and the Philistines. This will be the standing up of Michael the great prince of ' sleet, and will be as the appearance of Moses against. Pharole in order that the chosen seed may be l) rought out from their hard servitude. Egypt doth _ figure out this servile cre- , pion under which each one of Abrallarn, s seed groan, but a prophet and most prop h-etical generot ion will the most High raise up, who shall deliver His people by mere foree of a plrituel arms. For which there must be rais ed up cer-tain head powers to bear the first, offices, who are to be persons of great eminence, and favor with the Trinity, whose dread and fear shall fall upon all nations, and invisible, because of the mighty acting power of the Holy Ghost, which shall rest upon them. For Christ berore His own distinct and personal appearance will first appear and represent Himself in some chosen vessels mointed to be leaders unto the rest, and to bring them into the promised land, the new creation state. Thus Moses, Joshua., and Arron, may be considered as types of some upon whom the same spirit may come, yet to rest in greater proportion, whereby they shall make Nir ay for - the ransomed of the Lord to return to Mount Zion. But none shall stand in any considerable office under God, but who are tined stones after the pattern, and . similitude of the chief corner stone, Christ. This will be afireytrial which very few win be able to pass, or bear up Where-fore - the waiters for the visible breaking out of this church; are strictly charged to hold that, fast Whiell they . have, and to wait together in the - unity of pure love; praying in the iduly Ghost according. to the apostolic pattern that they may* be sent ffnah t6 multiply . imore. universally. David• was, whom he will - dignify with honor and priestly sovereignty, for the drawing to them the scattered flocks, and gathering them into one fold, out of all nations and languages. Therefore there should be a holy enaula-. tion, and ambition stirred up among the bands of Jesus, that they may be of the first fruits unto Him that is risen from the dead, and so be made principle agents for Him, and with Him, that they may if possible be of the number of the first born of the New Jerusalem mother. All the lovers of jesus, and true waiters of His kingdom in spirit under whatso-ever profession or forms they are dispersed ought to be numbered among the Phila. delphian Spirits, to whom this message appertains. Tile society is not the church, but pre-paratory to the church of Philadelphia, it consists of those who have associated to whit in the unity of the spirit, for its glori-ous appearance, and manifestation, where-fore there is such a strict charge given to them throughout the message, to be watchful and quicken up their race. " The Church of God is today courting the world." Dr. Howard Crosby. Is that so ? Can it be possible that the divine organism of which Christ is the head, the Church which is His body, that holy nation and peculiar people, which have been Joined to the Lord, redeemed from all iniquity, and washed blood from all sin, and clothed in her pure raiment of righteousness ? Is - it possible I say, that she would reach down her snow white hand from. her heavenly place in Christ Jesus, and woo the companion-ship of this drunken sin polluted world. that lieth in iniquity? — Would not that khid of mating be a case of extreme am-algamation, and of unequal yoking togeth-er. We supposed that courtship always implied some degree of affinitv, and adap-tation. But, " what fellowship bath right eousness with unrighteousness ? and what communion bath light with darkness ? and what concord Bath Christ with Behai ? or what part bath he that believeth with an infidel? and what agreement bath the temple of God with idols?" Is it possible that such direct antipodes are seeking a matrimonial union ? Surely this Dr. has made a grave mistake. He farther says, " The ball, the theatre, nude and lewd art. social luxuries with al l t heir loose moral ities, are making inroads into the sacred enclosure of the Church." Well that would be an awful sight to behold. But. how can these things be? Wherein there a door that will admit such things "- into the sacred precints of the church.' Cltriet eays, " I am the doer," and there is no other. Can men pack all such aboinina-tions into Jesus Christ ? Does He admit uch stuff? Surely the Dr. has widely missed the mark again. Again he say's. ' It is the old trick Of the devil,' this union with the world, " The Jewish Church struck trick of the devil," nor all " the gates of hell shall ever prevail against" the latter. Surely there is room for the sounding of the Trumpet of God's truth, while the law-yers and doctors, and all the priests, and dumb dogs of babylon are still in such ignorance as to what the churelf of God is. Had the man said that babylon wee 1- courting the world, it would have been some nearer the truth: but not exactly the straight thing either. For the courtship of babylon and- the ' worldhas terminated in the matrimonial. bond long ago. Though they are still celeorating their union with numerous feasts cif revelry. " It, is my duty- to stand to His word. Sink or swim, come heaven, come Lord Jesus if tliou wilt catch me, do hell. on this rock, the Roman Church was wrecked on the same, and the Protestant Church is fast reaching the same doom." Well then this " Protestant Church" can-not be the church of God. For while the forme]. sf ast reaching its doom, no f; old Sixty Propositions to the Piziladel-phian Society, Whithersoever _ Dispersed. ( as the1srael of God) A D. I til 9 . The idea is hcrelie6dg, nized that the messages to the seven. churches of Asia, are prophetically . his-lorical of the . Church of G- xl, ' universal through-out its mundane history, and that the condition of those several churches, bears an analogy to the church indifferent periods of time. The church at Philadelpilia being the only one against which there was no evil alleged by Jesus, represents the pare bridal church, prepared in the end of the arse to receive the Lord. It must be evident to all that these predictions, which were Emil to have been made lathe seventeenth century, are now beginning to come to poss. . e living testimony therein : contained, shall be unsealed. The presence of the divine ark, will constitute the life of the Philedelphian Church; and. wherever that is, there must the ark of necessity be. ` The unsealing of the ' living testimony within the aril:. of the Lord must begin the promulgation of the everlasting' gospel of th0 ininedont.

For as a virgin woman brought forth Christ after the flesh, so likewise a - virgin womna is designed by God, to bring forth the first lyor after the spirit, who Shall be filled - with the Holy Ghost, and with 1- 1 0) V el'. The virgin that is here designed must he as of a pure spirit, so also of a glorified body, and all over impregnated. With the Holy Ghost.

ThOtigh the operation of the Holy Spirit in these waiters May for a long tune con-tend with many infirmities end evils, yet if it be kept continually wa tra and watch-ed to, it cannot at the last bat work out a perfect cure, and hung about full and total redemption from the earth., There may be some at present living, who may come then to be fully and totally redeemed, having another body: put on them, that is one after the priestly order. This priestly anointed body will render them- impregnable, and qualify them for that high degree of spiritual government which they- are called to.- 1' herefere it is required on our part to suffer the Spirit of burning to do upon us t, he refining work, fanning us with the . ey breath; and searching every part within us until all be pure and clean, and we thereby arrive to a fixed, body, from whence the wonders are to new out. This body will be the sealing character of the Philadelphian Church.

There must be A manifestation of the Spirit, whereby to edify and raise up this elinrch suitable to the resurection of Chi he. This manifestatie, n must be in the abso-lutenes of power, as well as in the beauty of holiness, so bringing down heaven upon earth and representing here the New Jerusalem state. In order to which, spirits which are thus purely begot- ten, and born of God, can ascend to the New Jerusalem above, where their Head in great majesty doth reign and receive there, such a mission whereby they- shall be empowered to bring down to this world its transcendent glory. None but those that have risen with Christ in the regeneration can thus ascend, anti tone but those that have so ascended and received of Hia glory can descend again to communicate the same, being thereby His representatives upon the new earth, and subordinate priests and princes ender Him. Now he that is ascended and glorified has made himself, as- it - Were our debtor, consequently he will not be wanting in qualifying, and furniehing certain high Ind principle instruments .- who Shsdi be most humble, and. as little regarded as If you could be as humble when you chose rich apparel ( which I flatly deny) yet you could not be as benificient, as plentous in good works. Therefore every shilling which you needlessly spend on your . aPparel, is in effect stolen from the poor! For what end. do you want these ornaments ? To please God? No 1- but to please your own fancy or to gain the admiration and applause of those who were no wiser than yourself. If so, wha wear you are in effect tearing fro the back of the naked; and the costly and delicate food you eat, you are snatching irom the mouth of the hungry. For mercy, for pity, for Christ's sake, for the honor of His gospel , stay your hand! Do not throw this money away. Do not lay out on nothing, yea, worse than nothing, what may clothe your poor, naked, shivering fellow creatures. Many years ago, when I was at Oxford, on a cold winter's day, a young maid ( one of those we keep at school), called on me. I said, " You seem half starved. Have you nothing to cover you but that thin gown She said, " Sir this is all I have.' I put my hand in my pocket, but found no money left, having just paid away all that I bad. It struck me, " Will thy Master say, ' Well done good and. faithful steward. Thou bast adorned thy walls with the money which might ha s ecreeeenn-ed this poor creature from the cold.' 0 justice ! 0, mercy Are not these pic-tures the blood of the poor maid ? See their expensive apparel in the same light; thy gown, hat, head- dress I" Everything about thee which costs more than Christian duty required thee to lay out, is the blood of the poor ! 0 be wise for the time to come. Be more mer-ciful; more faithful to God and luau; more abundantly clad ( like men and women professing godliness) with. good works. It is stark, staring nonsense to say, " Oh, I can oll'ord this or that!" If you have regard to common sense, let that silly word never come intoyour mouth. No man living can ( ford to throw away any pa: t of that food or raiment into the sea, which was lodged with him on purpose to feed the hungry and clothe the naked. And it is far worse- than waste to spend any part of it in gay and costly apparel. For this is no less than to turn whole-some food into deadly poison. It is giv-ng so much money' to poison both your-self and others as far as your example spreads, with pride, vanity, anger, lust, love of the world, and a thousand " foolish and hurtful desires" which tend to " pierce them through with many sorrows." 0 God arise and i mantain thy - own' cause I Let not men and devils any longer put out our eyes and lead us blindleib into the pit of destruction.

Yes, Christ, by the living energies of His Word and. Spirit., the two witnesses, is now shaking and sifting whatever is called thesChureh, to separate the few grains of Wheat from every chaff pile of denorninationalisin, sectism, and anti- sect ism. Trahy the " net has been gathering of all kinds," - for hundreds of years, and n ow the good and bad are. being separated. Many other clear prophesies declare this present special work in the ecclesiastical heavens, and. the intense c= ommotion that ensues. But. let us resume the recod in eta 11 13. " And the same ben r there ong these two witnes ges, hence their pros-- their more spenial operations, is a fact that many prophesies of present truth • s. m.

This is not a literal city: for it " is called Sodem and Egypt, where also our Lord was— crucified." But He was crucified at Jeruslem, hence not literally in those places And the city not being literal, but a moral force, the earthquake that convulsed it, and destroyed a tenth part of it can not be a literal one, but must be an upheaval by the force of moral powers, a religious COMmotion and revolution. This is noth-ing else but the Mighty shock tbatis- now„ blasting and consuming the great city of worldly religion. " We give thee thanks, 0 Lord God Al-mighty, which art, and : vast, and. art to come; because thou hest taken to thee thy great power, and bast reigned." And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time or the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldst give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints. and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldst des-troy them which. destroy the earth." " And the temple of God was. opened in heaven, and there was seen in His temple the ark of His testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earth-, quake, sand great hail."- Rev. 11: 17- 19. Yes every soul that is emancipated through the all cleansing blood of Christ, and the power of the Holy Spirit, from the. thralldom of priestly yokes, and inward fees, may well break forth in joyful thanks-giving to God, who has taken to Him His h€ relore prod utite. this general destruetten„ Cow O I no many Feripmres will suilice lit 1- 1.14) 11 ■ M the deplorable divisiens and eurruetions el he Catholic! and Protestant : te. staey, Etaa, e destroyed the whole world. frm straightened?

Behold I will feed them with wermwood, and make them drink the water of gall; fo; from the prophets of Jerusalem, is profaneness gone forth in all the land."— jer.; 23,14, 15. In-verse 18, above quoted, you see that the Spirit of prophesy is dwelling on the end of the world, and the Judgement is nigh. Just as Danie112, associates the deliyerence of ' thy children," through Michael, with the resurrection, it being near to follow. f Continued. 113,4414 Try The Spirits, ! Me her They be of God. [ Abridge' from the Good Way. 1 The more glorious and essential the truth, the more the evil one seeks to pervert and turn it into a cruse by false teachers, or by the impressions of his own vicious spirit. " Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as ministers of righteousness; whose end shall. be according to their works."- 2 Cora 11: 14, 15. " Beloved, believe not every Spirit, but try the Spirits, whether they be of God : because many false prophets . ogonnee out into the world."- 1 John 4: .1. What shall We " try the Spirits" by ? The word; and that word furnishes plain instruction to that none be left in the dark. " And when they say unto you, seek unto then that have familiar Spirite: 5: should not a people seek unto their God? * ;; to the law and the testi-mony:- if they" ( the Spirits) " speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them."- Isa. 8: 19, 20, One of the sure marks of the leading of a false spirit., is they scarcely ever refer to what God says in His word, as a reason have reado, Tile ultimate uits an! i i Wtlys Lad: so " by pneof. fir vti: Teetiee, for instrortiam in teetneeesnesst that the man el God may : 1- e naatteen teurezighly firnished unto ail good tverks --- 2 MI?. 3: 10. 17. Se what E'er Dave JPEtzegues Coarse., A Wesleyan Elder reports in the organ of that branch of modern - confusion, his work in Ingham Co, Mich., He alludes to their losses last winter, through the power of the gospel of holiness, preached by Brother Fisher. Quite a number of their members passed over into the land of Canaan, and proclaiming themselves free from all foreign jurisdiction, they refused any longer to " pay toll, tribute, and cus-tom, to the kings on the other ( babylon) side of the river." For this is that which was spoken by the mouth of the prophet, ciIt shall conic to pass in that day, that his burthen shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing." 71sa. 10: 27. Yes the anointing of the Holy Spirit, and " thorough holiness," as an editor of that sect said, " destroys sects and denominations." So the destruction of two Wesleyan classes, proves that thorough holiness was preached to them. Well, this detraction from the kings revenue, and priests bread and butter, has been no small plague tobabylon. Thus writes the overling, " Two of the appointments on the circuit were aband-oned by order of the Quarterly Conference in view of this plague." Observe that this full and free salvation, whie, l- ai; f a man will visit those communities, he will find has its fruits unto holiness, with abundant thanksgiving to God in the Spirit,- is ac-knowledged to be unto babylon - a plague which makes her desolate. To this agrees the scriptures. " Because of the wrath of the Lord it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate every one that goeth by babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues."- Jer. 50: 13. " Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine, and she shall be utterly burned with fire for strong is the Lord. God who judgeth her."- Rey. 18: 8. " And the first ( angel) went and poured out his vial upon the earth, and there fell a noisome grievous sore upon the men that had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worship his image."- Rev. 10: 2. Therefore " Come of her plagues."- Rev. 15: 14. Gen. lite Lore. its wish, but its pleading may prevail tigainat yOor judgment. Not se with God Jove. Ion may cry and plead but God is inexorable.

" The Spititoflife from God entered into them, and they stood op-on their feet: and', great fear fell upon-them which saw them."— yerse 11. The I: Instilled voice of God's Word ' and Spirit is a " noisome, grievous sore to all them that receive the mark of the beast: and therm that worship his image." As it is - written of the - prophet Amos, " The land cannot bear all his words." " And they beard a great voice from heav-ea saying ' unto them, Caine up hither; and they ascended up to heaven in a cloud. And their enemies beheld them."- aver, 12. Here again the blessed Spirit had to open up our understanding. - What IS meant by these witnesses' ascent into . heaven ? As ill many other places, the Church is here alluded to : for she is a- " heavenly prase in Christ Jesus," - andour " heavenly Jerusalem." That the Word and Spirit of „ G od still offer salvation to a lost world we are happy to - believe, - but glorious power, and is reigning in their near God's that these faithful witnesses have in a de- ts with the glorious scepter of His gree Withdrawn from the world and. assen hove; " And the nations— n- antaiotionnss ded into the Church., as the place of -.--- were angry, and thy wratle- G's wrath is come."' In Isa. 13, and many. other places, the great holiness reformation is teach and the great special- holiness reform represented as the consuming fire of God's st ik es. The wort wrath upon all the wood, hay, and stubble strikingly exemplifi peculiar k of the Holy Spirit at present as that of which has brought disgrace upon His holy " cleansing the land," and " cleansing the name. That He " should destroy them sanctuary." Which means the unification that destroy the earth." Who are they of the Church. In Ezekiel 38 39, we have that destroy the earth ? In Jer. 50, and the great. battle for . the extermination of 1 the 1, uratin:, ti,' e of God's judr.- o,, r1.4 Now and three hunkired thrys then Awn I no pc: r on Cis : 7: 0111111 wilt tor a the world may know that thou bast ! sent, me, and halt loved them as thou bestloved me."-- John 17; 21, 23. Now no one can be so blind as not to see that the sect divis.„' ions rival organizations of the great epos tact-, remove an important condition to the faith in Christ, that Tie declared necessary to save the word, and consequently works the destruction of 1.1G ix on, soar. V no v solemn and awful this fact. How long 0 Lord inust this wholesale deception and destruction of souls go on? Come 0 thou most high God, and consume the walls that divide thy children,. and sweep away the bonds of union between thy own, and the children of this world.
