The Celestial Messenger

Reprint of the original, first published in 1876.

Excerpt from The Celestial Messenger Ten anx1ous and gloomy years have passed since the author made good the order. Of the angel to him, found in the roth chapter of Revelation. My second. Revelation was finished when handing The Messen ger. To the inhabitants of Earth. This was only the un veiling of the New Testament Scriptures. The author then supposed his agency on the earth was finished, but this was a sad mistake. The little open book that St. John was ordered to swallow was not what the au thor supposed. The book that the angel gave to john to swallow was only a spiritual record sketched and laid in spiritual lines, by the spiritual agent, from the great page of nature, and given to the physical agent, John, who had then finished his mission on the earth, and passed back to the Official Court, holding the keys of mystery 1n his possession, until his second return to his exiled brethren on the earth, spanning the lapse of years. Having returned, he is now officiating with joint officers both on the earth and in the Spirit Land, through which joint operations they are near the end of the nineteenth century, opening up the Sixth Seal at the closing out of the Gentile nations of the earth; at which time he will hand - over his official rec ord into the hands of the Executive Chief, the Son of God, who immediately thereafter will proceed to the opening. Up of the Seventh Seal, which will be the end of all mortality on the earth. This agent being closed in by a wall of flesh, could not be fully made to understand that he yet held the little open book in his possession, the contents of which, when fully revealed to man, will bring, to light the deep-laid plans of mediation, who through the co operation of all the obedient angels, aided by the Spirit of Divine Power, would in the end bring into friendly relations the enemies of God.
