[[A Vision of the Last Judgment] PAGE 68] The Last Judgment is not Fable
or Allegory
VLJ-N68; E554|
but Vision Fable or Allegory are a totally distinct & inferior
VLJ-N68; E554|
kind of Poetry. Vision or Imagination is a Representation of
VLJ-N68; E554|
what Eternally Exists. Really & Unchangeably. Fable or Allegory
VLJ-N68; E554|
is Formd by the Daughters of Memory. Imagination is Surrounded
VLJ-N68; E554|
by the daughters of Inspiration who in the aggregate are calld
VLJ-N68; E554|
Jerusalem [P 69] <Fable is Allegory but what Critics call The
VLJ-N69; E554|
Fable is Vision itself> [P 68] The Hebrew Bible & the Gospel of
VLJ-N68[b]; E554|
Jesus are not Allegory but Eternal Vision or Imagination of All

Eternal Life Plato has made Socrates say that Poets & Prophets do
VLJ-N68[b]; E554|
not Know or Understand what they write or Utter this is a most

Pernicious Falshood. If they do not pray is an inferior Kind to

The Last judgment is one of these Stupendous
VLJ-N68[b]; E555|
Visions[.] I have represented it as I saw it[.]
VLJ-N68[b]; E555|
to different People it appears differently as [P 69] every
VLJ-N69[b]; E555|
thing else does for tho on Earth things seem Permanent they are
VLJ-N69[b]; E555|
less permanent than a Shadow as we all know too well
VLJ-N69[b]; E555|
The Nature of Visionary Fancy or Imagination is very little
VLJ-N69[b]; E555|
Known & the Eternal nature & permanence of its ever Existent
VLJ-N69[b]; E555|
Images is considerd as less permanent than the things of
VLJ-N69[b]; E555|
Vegetative & Generative Nature yet the Oak dies as well as the
VLJ-N69[b]; E555|
Lettuce but Its Eternal Image & Individuality never dies. but
VLJ-N69[b]; E555|
renews by its seed. just [as] <so> the Imaginative Image
VLJ-N69[b]; E555|
returns [according to] <by> the seed of Contemplative
VLJ-N69[b]; E555|
Thought the Writings of the Prophets illustrate these conceptions

Cain <with the flint in his hand with which he slew his brother>
VLJ-N76; E556|
falling with the head downward From the Cloud on which Eve stands
VLJ-N76; E556|
Satan is seen falling headlong wound round by the tail of the
VLJ-N76; E556|
serpent whose bulk naild to the Cross round which he wreathes is
VLJ-N76; E556|
falling into the Abyss Sin is also represented as a female bound
VLJ-N76; E556|
in one of the Serpents folds surrounded by her fiends Death is
VLJ-N76; E556|
Chaind to the Cross & Time falls together with death dragged down
VLJ-N76; E556|
by [an Angel] a Demon crownd with Laurel another demon
VLJ-N76; E556|
with a Key has the charge of Sin & is dragging her down by the
VLJ-N76; E556|
hair beside them a figure is seen scaled with iron scales from
VLJ-N76; E556|
head to feet precipitating himself into the Abyss with the Sword
VLJ-N76; E556|
& Balances he is Og King of Bashan--
VLJ-N76; E556|
<On the Right> Beneath the Cloud on which Abel kneels is
VLJ-N76; E556|
Abraham with Sarah & Isaac [&] also Hagar & Ishmael.
VLJ-N76; E556|
<Abel kneels on a bloody Cloud [P 80] descriptive of those

a Man may suppose that the States he has passd thro exist no more

Every Thing is Eternal>
VLJ-N79; E556|
[[A Vision of the Last Judgment] PAGE 79] In Eternity one Thing never Changes
into
VLJ-N79; E556|
another Thing Each Identity is Eternal consequently Apuleius's
VLJ-N79; E556|
Golden Ass & Ovids Metamorphosis & others of the like kind are
VLJ-N79; E556|
Fable yet they contain Vision in a Sublime degree being derived
VLJ-N79; E556|
from real Vision in More Ancient Writings[.] Lots Wife
VLJ-N79; E556|
being Changed into Pillar of Salt alludes to the Mortal Body
VLJ-N79; E556|
being renderd a Permanent Statue but not Changed or Transformed
VLJ-N79; E556|
into Another Identity while it retains its own Individuality. A
VLJ-N79; E556|
Man can never become Ass nor Horse some are born with shapes of
VLJ-N79; E556|
Men who may be both but Eternal Identity is one thing & Corporeal
VLJ-N79; E556|
Vegetation is another thing Changing Water into Wine by Jesus &
VLJ-N79; E556|
into Blood by Moses relates to Vegetable Nature also

[[A Vision of the Last Judgment] PAGE 76] [Beneath] <Ishmael is Mahomet>
& <on
VLJ-N76[b]; E556|
the left> beneath the falling figure of Cain is Moses casting his tables
of
VLJ-N76[b]; E556|
stone into the Deeps. it ought to be understood that the Persons
VLJ-N76[b]; E556|
Moses & Abraham are not here meant but the States Signified by
VLJ-N76[b]; E556|
those Names the Individuals being representatives or Visions of
VLJ-N76[b]; E556|
those States as they were reveald to Mortal Man in the Series of
VLJ-N76[b]; E556|
Divine Revelations. as they are written in the Bible these
VLJ-N76[b]; E556|
various States I have seen in my Imagination when distant they
VLJ-N76[b]; E556|
appear as One Man but as you approach they appear
VLJ-N76[b]; E557|
Multitudes of Nations. Abraham hovers above his posterity which
VLJ-N76[b]; E557|
appear as Multitudes of Children ascending from the Earth
VLJ-N76[b]; E557|
surrounded by Stars as it was said As the Stars of Heaven for
VLJ-N76[b]; E557|
Multitude Jacob & [their] his Twelve Sons hover beneath
VLJ-N76[b]; E557|
the feet of Abraham & recieve their children from the Earth <I
VLJ-N76[b]; E557|
have seen when at a distance Multitudes of Men in Harmony appear
VLJ-N76[b]; E557|
like a single Infant sometimes in the Arms of a Female
VLJ-N76[b]; E557|
[they] <this> represented the Church>
VLJ-N76[b]; E557|
But to proceed with the description of those on the Left
VLJ-N76[b]; E557|
hand. beneath the Cloud on which Moses kneels is two figures a
VLJ-N76[b]; E557|
Male & Female chaind [P 77] together by the feet[.] they
VLJ-N77; E557|
represent those who perishd by the flood[.] beneath them a
VLJ-N77; E557|
multitude of their associates are seen falling headlong[.] by the
VLJ-N77; E557|
side of them is a Mighty fiend with a Book in his hand which is
VLJ-N77; E557|
Shut he represents the person namd in Isaiah XXII.c & 20.V.
VLJ-N77; E557|
Eliakim the Son of Hilkiah he drags Satan down headlong he is
VLJ-N77; E557|
crownd with oak [&has] by the side of the Scaled figure
VLJ-N77; E557|
representing Og King of Bashan is a Figure with a Basket emptiing
VLJ-N77; E557|
out the vanities of Riches & Worldly Honours <he is Araunah the
VLJ-N77; E557|
Jebusite> <master of the threshing floor> above him are two
VLJ-N77; E557|
figures <elevated on a Cloud> representing the Pharisees who
VLJ-N77; E557|
plead their own Righteousness before the throne. they are weighed
VLJ-N77; E557|
down by two fiends[.] Beneath the Man with the Basket are three
VLJ-N77; E557|
fiery fiends with grey beards & scourges of fire they represent
VLJ-N77; E557|
Cruel Laws they scourge a groupe of figures down into the Deeps
VLJ-N77; E557|
beneath them are various figures in attitudes of contention
VLJ-N77; E557|
representing various States of Misery which alas every one on
VLJ-N77; E557|
Earth is liable to enter into & against which we should all watch
VLJ-N77; E557|
The Ladies will be pleasd to see that I have represented the
VLJ-N77; E557|
Furies by Three Men & not by three Women It is not because I
VLJ-N77; E557|
think the Ancients wrong but they will be pleasd to remember that
VLJ-N77; E557|
mine is Vision & not Fable The Spectator may suppose them
VLJ-N77; E557|
Clergymen in the Pulpit Scourging Sin instead of Forgiving it
VLJ-N77; E557|
The Earth beneath these falling Groupes of figures is rocky
VLJ-N77; E557|
& burning and seems as if convulsd by Earthquakes a Great City
VLJ-N77; E557|
<on fire> is seen in the Distance <the Armies are fleeing upon
VLJ-N77; E557|
the Mountains> On the foreground hell is opened & many figures
VLJ-N77; E557|
are descending into it down stone steps & beside a Gate beneath a
VLJ-N77; E557|
rock [howling & lamenting] <where Sin & Death are to be
VLJ-N77; E557|
closed Eternally by that Fiend who carries the Key in one hand &
VLJ-N77; E557|
drags them down with the other> On the rock & above the Gate a
VLJ-N77; E557|
fiend with wings urges the wicked onwards with fiery darts he
VLJ-N77; E557|
[represents the Assyrian] <is Hazael the Syrian> who
VLJ-N77; E557|
drives abroad all those who rebell against their Saviour
VLJ-N77; E557|
beneath the steps Babylon represented by a King crowned Grasping
VLJ-N77; E557|
his Sword & his Scepter he is just awakend out of his Grave
VLJ-N77; E557|
around him are other Kingdoms arising to Judgment. represented in
VLJ-N77; E557|
this Picture as Single Personages according to the descriptions
VLJ-N77; E557|
in the Prophets The Figure dragging up a Woman by her hair
VLJ-N77; E557|
represents the
VLJ-N77; E558|
Inquisition as do those contending on the sides of the Pit & in
VLJ-N77; E558|
Particular the Man Strangling two Women represents a Cruel Church
VLJ-N77; E558|
[[A Vision of the Last Judgment] PAGE 78] Two persons one in Purple
VLJ-N78; E558|
Scarlet are descending [into Hell] <down the Steps into the Pit>
VLJ-N78; E558|
these are Caiphas & Pilate Two States where all those reside who
VLJ-N78; E558|
Calumniate & Murder <under Pretence of Holiness & Justice>
VLJ-N78; E558|
Caiphas has a Blue Flame like a Miter on his head Pilate has
VLJ-N78; E558|
bloody hands that never can be cleansed the Females behind them
VLJ-N78; E558|
represent the Females belonging to such States who are under
VLJ-N78; E558|
perpetual terrors & vain dreams plots & secret deceit. Those
VLJ-N78; E558|
figures that descend into the Flames before Caiphas & Pilate are

Judas & those of his Class Achitophel is also here with the cord

Savage who having not the Law do by Nature the things containd in

The Aged Figure with Wings having a writing tablet & taking

Presence mentiond in Exodus XIVc 19v & in other Places this Angel

Around Noah & beneath him are various figures Risen into the

not of the dead but of those found Alive at the Last Judgment

Meets her <numerous> Family in the Arms of their Father these are
VLJ-N81; E559|
representations of the Greek Learned & Wise as also of those of

other Nations such as Egypt & Babylon in which were multitudes

VLJ-N81; E559|
somewhat like the Milky way they ascend from the Earth where
VLJ-N81; E559|
Figures kneel Embracing above the Graves & Represent Religion or
VLJ-N81; E559|
Civilized Life such as it is in the Christian Church who are the
VLJ-N81; E559|
Offspring of the Hebrew

[[A Vision of the Last Judgment] PAGE 82] Just above the graves & above
the spot

where the Infants creep out of the Ground Stand two a Man & Woman these
are
VLJ-N82; E559|
the Primitive Christians. The two Figures in <purifying> flames
VLJ-N82; E559|
by the side of the Dragons cavern represents the Latter state of

Flaming Sword. Multitudes are seen ascending from the Green

taken> <Also> On the
VLJ-N82; E560|
right hand of Noah A Female descends to meet her Lover or Husband
VLJ-N82; E560|
representative of that Love calld Friendship which Looks for no
VLJ-N82; E560|
other heaven than their Beloved & in him sees all reflected as in
VLJ-N82; E560|
a Glass of Eternal Diamond
VLJ-N82; E560|
On the right hand of these rise the Diffident & Humble & on
VLJ-N82; E560|
their left a <solitary> Woman with her infant these are caught up
VLJ-N82; E560|
by three aged Men who appear as suddenly emerging from the blue
VLJ-N82; E560|
sky for their help. These three Aged Men represent Divine
VLJ-N82; E560|
Providence as opposd to & distinct from Divine vengeance
VLJ-N82; E560|
represented by three Aged men on the side of the Picture among
VLJ-N82; E560|
the Wicked with scourges of fire
VLJ-N82; E560|
If the Spectator could Enter into these Images in his
VLJ-N82; E560|
Imagination approaching them on the Fiery Chariot of his
VLJ-N82; E560|
Contemplative Thought if he could Enter into Noahs Rainbow or
VLJ-N82; E560|
into his bosom or could make a Friend & Companion of one of these
VLJ-N82; E560|
Images of wonder which always intreats him to leave mortal things
VLJ-N82; E560|
as he must know then would he arise from his Grave then would he
VLJ-N82; E560|
meet the Lord in the Air & then he would be happy General
VLJ-N82; E560|
Knowledge is Remote Knowledge it is in Particulars that Wisdom
VLJ-N82; E560|
consists & Happiness too. Both in Art & in Life General Masses
VLJ-N82; E560|
are as Much Art as a Pasteboard Man is Human Every Man has Eyes
VLJ-N82; E560|
Nose & Mouth this Every Idiot knows but he who enters into &
VLJ-N82; E560|
discriminates most minutely the Manners & Intentions [P 83] the
VLJ-N83; E560|
[Expression] Characters in all their branches is the
VLJ-N83; E560|
alone Wise or Sensible Man & on this discrimination All Art is
VLJ-N83; E560|
founded. I intreat then that the Spectator will attend to the
VLJ-N83; E560|
Hands & Feet to the Lineaments of the Countenances they are all
VLJ-N83; E560|
descriptive of Character & not a line is drawn without intention
VLJ-N83; E560|
& that most discriminate & particular <as Poetry admits not
a
VLJ-N83; E560|
Letter that is Insignificant so Painting admits not a Grain of
VLJ-N83; E560|
Sand or a Blade of Grass <Insignificant> much less an
VLJ-N83; E560|
Insignificant Blur or Mark>
VLJ-N83; E560|
Above the Head of Noah is Seth this State calld Seth is Male
VLJ-N83; E560|
& Female in a higher state of Happiness & wisdom than Noah being
VLJ-N83; E560|
nearer the State of Innocence beneath the feet of Seth two
VLJ-N83; E560|
figures represent the two Seasons of Spring & Autumn. while
VLJ-N83; E560|
beneath the feet of Noah Four Seasons represent [our present
VLJ-N83; E560|
changes of Extremes] the Changed State made by the flood.
VLJ-N83; E560|
By the side of Seth is Elijah he comprehends all the
VLJ-N83; E560|
Prophetic Characters he is seen on his fiery Chariot bowing
VLJ-N83; E560|
before the throne of the Saviour. in like manner The figures of
VLJ-N83; E560|
Seth & his wife Comprehends the Fathers before the flood & their
VLJ-N83; E560|
Generations when seen remote they appear as One Man. a little
VLJ-N83; E560|
below Seth on his right are Two Figures a Male & Female with
VLJ-N83; E560|
numerous Children these represent those who were not in the Line
VLJ-N83; E560|
of the Church & yet were Saved from among the Antediluvians who
VLJ-N83; E560|
Perished. between Seth & these a female figure [with the back
VLJ-N83; E560|
turnd] represents the Solitary State of those who previous
VLJ-N83; E560|
to the Flood walked with God
VLJ-N83; E561|
All these arise toward the opening Cloud before the Throne
VLJ-N83; E561|
led onward by triumphant Groupes of Infants. <& the Morning Stars
VLJ-N83; E561|
sang together>
VLJ-N83; E561|
Between Seth & Elijah three Female Figures crownd with
VLJ-N83; E561|
Garlands Represent Learning & Science which accompanied Adam out
VLJ-N83; E561|
of Eden
VLJ-N83; E561|
The Cloud that opens rolling apart before the throne &
VLJ-N83; E561|
before the New Heaven & the New Earth is Composed of Various
VLJ-N83; E561|
Groupes of Figures particularly the Four Living Creatures
VLJ-N83; E561|
mentiond in Revelations as Surrounding the Throne these I suppose
VLJ-N83; E561|
to have the chief agency in removing the [former] [P 84]
VLJ-N84; E561|
old heavens & the old Earth to make way for the New Heaven & the
VLJ-N84; E561|
New Earth to descend from the throne of God & of the Lamb. that
VLJ-N84; E561|
Living Creature on the Left of the Throne Gives to the Seven
VLJ-N84; E561|
Angels the Seven Vials of the wrath of God <with> which they
VLJ-N84; E561|
hovering over the Deeps beneath pour out upon the wicked their
VLJ-N84; E561|
Plagues the Other Living Creatures are descending with a Shout &
VLJ-N84; E561|
with the Sound of the Trumpet Directing the Combats in the upper
VLJ-N84; E561|
Elements <in the two Corners of the Picture> on the Left hand
VLJ-N84; E561|
Apollyon is foild before the Sword of Michael & on the Right the
VLJ-N84; E561|
Two Witnesses <are> subduing their Enemies [Around the Throne
VLJ-N84; E561|
Heaven is Opened] On the Cloud are opend the Books of

<A Last Judgment is Necessary because Fools flourish>
VLJ-N84; E561|
Nations Flourish under Wise Rulers & are depressd under
VLJ-N84; E561|
foolish Rulers it is the same with Individuals as Nations works
VLJ-N84; E561|

VLJ-N84; E561|
in Affluence or is Above the Care of it Poverty is the Fools Rod
VLJ-N84; E561|

VLJ-N84[b]; E562|
True Art till he has Explord & Cast out False Art <such is the
VLJ-N84[b]; E562|
Nature of Mortal Things> or he will be himself Cast out by those

History of Art & Science [& its] <the Foundation of

John the Baptist Zacharias & Elizabeth recieving the Bread & Wine

VLJ-N85[c]; E563|
up fleeing from the rolling Cloud which separates the Wicked from
VLJ-N85[c]; E563|
the Seats of Bliss. These represent those who tho willing were
VLJ-N85[c]; E563|
too weak to Reject Error without the Assistance & Countenance of
VLJ-N85[c]; E563|
those Already in the Truth for a Man Can only Reject Error by the
VLJ-N85[c]; E563|
Advice of a Friend or by the Immediate Inspiration of God it is

for this Reason among many others that I have put the Lords

at the Last Judgment for a Protection

[[A Vision of the Last Judgment] PAGE 91] Many suppose that before [Adam]
<the
VLJ-N91[b]; E563|
Creation> All was Solitude & Chaos This is the most pernicious
VLJ-N91[b]; E563|
Idea that can enter the Mind as it takes away all sublimity from
VLJ-N91[b]; E563|
the Bible & Limits All Existence to Creation & to Chaos To the
VLJ-N91[b]; E563|
Time & Space fixed by the Corporeal Vegetative Eye & leaves the
VLJ-N91[b]; E563|
Man who entertains such an Idea the habitation of Unbelieving
VLJ-N91[b]; E563|
Demons Eternity Exists and All things in Eternity Independent of
VLJ-N91[b]; E563|
Creation which was an act of Mercy I have [P 92] represented
VLJ-N92; E563|
those who are in Eternity by some in a Cloud within the Rainbow
VLJ-N92; E563|
that Surrounds the Throne they merely appear as in a Cloud when
VLJ-N92; E563|
any thing of Creation Redemption or Judgment are the Subjects of
VLJ-N92; E563|
Contemplation tho their Whole Contemplation is Concerning these
VLJ-N92; E563|
things the Reason they so appear is The Humiliation of <the
VLJ-N92; E563|
Reasoning & Doubting> Selfhood & the Giving all up to Inspiration
VLJ-N92; E563|
By this it will be seen that I do not consider either the Just
VLJ-N92; E563|
or the Wicked to be in a Supreme State but to be every one of
VLJ-N92; E563|
them States of the Sleep which the Soul may fall into in its

but it has also a Man <Good & Evil are Qualities in Every Man
VLJ-N86; E563|
whether <a> Good or Evil Man> These are Enemies & destroy one
VLJ-N86; E563|
another by every Means in their power both of deceit & of open
VLJ-N86; E563|
Violence The Deist & the Christian are but the Results of these
VLJ-N86; E563|
Opposing Natures Many are Deists who would in certain
VLJ-N86; E563|
Circumstances
VLJ-N86; E564|
have been Christians in outward appearance Voltaire was one of
VLJ-N86; E564|
this number he was as intolerant as an Inquisitor Manners make
VLJ-N86; E564|
the Man not Habits. It is the same in Art by their Works ye [P
VLJ; E564|
90] shall know them the Knave who is Converted to Deism & the
VLJ-N90[b]; E564|
Knave who is Converted to Christianity is still a Knave but he
VLJ-N90[b]; E564|
himself will not know it tho Every body else does Christ comes
VLJ-N90[b]; E564|
as he came at first to deliver those who were bound under the
VLJ-N90[b]; E564|
Knave not to deliver the Knave He Comes to Deliver Man the
VLJ-N90[b]; E564|
[Forgiven] <Accused &> not Satan the Accuser we do not
VLJ-N90[b]; E564|
find any where that Satan is Accused of Sin he is only accused of
VLJ-N90[b]; E564|
Unbelief & thereby drawing Man into Sin that he may accuse him.
VLJ-N90[b]; E564|
Such is the Last Judgment a Deliverance from Satans Accusation
VLJ-N90[b]; E564|
Satan thinks that Sin is displeasing to God he ought to know that
VLJ-N90[b]; E564|
Nothing is displeasing to God but Unbelief & Eating of the Tree
VLJ-N90[b]; E564|
of Knowledge of Good & Evil

[[A Vision of the Last Judgment] PAGE 87] Men are admitted into Heaven
not because
VLJ-N87; E564|
they have
VLJ-N87; E564|
<curbed &> governd their Passions or have No Passions but because
VLJ-N87; E564|
they have Cultivated their Understandings. The Treasures of
VLJ-N87; E564|
Heaven are not Negations of Passion but Realities of Intellect
VLJ-N87; E564|
from which All the Passions Emanate <Uncurbed> in their Eternal
VLJ-N87; E564|
Glory The Fool shall not enter into Heaven let him be ever so
VLJ-N87; E564|
Holy. Holiness is not The Price of Enterance into Heaven Those
VLJ-N87; E564|
who are cast out Are All Those who having no Passions of their
VLJ-N87; E564|
own because No Intellect. Have spent their lives in Curbing &
VLJ-N87; E564|
Governing other Peoples by the Various arts of Poverty & Cruelty
VLJ-N87; E564|
of all kinds Wo Wo Wo to you Hypocrites Even Murder the
VLJ-N87; E564|
Courts of Justice <more merciful than the Church> are compelld to
VLJ-N87; E564|
allow is not done in Passion but in Cool Blooded Design &
VLJ-N87; E564|
Intention
VLJ-N87; E564|
The Modern Church Crucifies Christ with the Head Downwards
VLJ-N92[b]; E564|
[[A Vision of the Last Judgment] 92] Many Persons such as Paine & Voltaire
VLJ-N92[b]; E564|
<with <some
VLJ-N92[b]; E564|
of> the Ancient Greeks> say we will not Converse concerning Good
VLJ-N92[b]; E564|
& Evil we will live in Paradise & Liberty You may do so in
VLJ-N92[b]; E564|
Spirit but not in the <Mortal> Body as you pretend till after the
VLJ-N92[b]; E564|
Last Judgment for in Paradise they have no Corporeal <& Mortal>
VLJ-N92[b]; E564|
Body that originated with the Fall & was calld Death & cannot be
VLJ-N92[b]; E564|
removed but by a Last judgment while we are in the world of
VLJ-N92[b]; E564|
Mortality we Must Suffer The Whole Creation Groans to be
VLJ-N92[b]; E564|
deliverd there will always be as many Hypocrites born as Honest
VLJ-N92[b]; E564|
Men & they will always have superior Power in Mortal Things You
VLJ-N92[b]; E564|
cannot have Liberty in this World without <what you call> Moral
VLJ-N92[b]; E564|
Virtue & you cannot have Moral Virtue without the Slavery of that
VLJ-N92[b]; E564|
half of the Human Race who hate <what you call> Moral Virtue
VLJ-N92[b]; E564|
The Nature of Hatred & Envy & of All the Mischiefs in the
VLJ-N92[b]; E564|
World are here depicted. No one Envies or Hates one of his Own
VLJ-N92[b]; E564|
Party even the devils love one another in their Way they torment
VLJ-N92[b]; E564|
one another for other reasons than Hate or Envy these are only
VLJ-N92[b]; E564|
employd against the Just. Neither can Seth Envy Noah or Elijah
VLJ-N92[b]; E564|
Envy Abraham but they
VLJ-N92[b]; E565|
may both of them Envy the Success [P 93] of Satan or of Og or
VLJ-N93; E565|
Molech The Horse never Envies the Peacock nor the Sheep the Goat
VLJ-N93; E565|
but they Envy a Rival in Life & Existence whose ways & means
VLJ-N93; E565|
exceed their own let him be of what Class of Animals he will a
VLJ-N93; E565|
Dog will envy a Cat who is pamperd at the expense of his comfort
VLJ-N93; E565|
as I have often seen The Bible never tells us that Devils
VLJ-N93; E565|
torment one another thro Envy it is <thro> this that
VLJ-N93; E565|
[makes] they torment the Just but for what do they
VLJ-N93; E565|
torment one another I answer For the Coercive Laws of Hell
VLJ-N93; E565|
Moral Hypocrisy. They torment a Hypocrite when he is discoverd
VLJ-N93; E565|
they Punish a Failure in the tormentor who has sufferd the
VLJ-N93; E565|
Subject of his torture to Escape In Hell all is Self
VLJ-N93; E565|
Righteousness there is no such thing there as Forgiveness of Sin
VLJ-N93; E565|
he who does Forgive Sin is Crucified as an Abettor of Criminals.
VLJ-N93; E565|
& he who performs Works of Mercy in Any shape whatever is punishd
VLJ-N93; E565|
& if possible destroyd not thro Envy or Hatred or Malice but
VLJ-N93; E565|
thro Self Righteousness that thinks it does God service which God
VLJ-N93; E565|
is Satan <They do not Envy one another They contemn <& despise>
VLJ-N93; E565|
one another>
VLJ-N93; E565|
Forgiveness of Sin is only at the Judgment Seat of Jesus the
VLJ-N93; E565|
Saviour where the Accuser is cast out. not because he Sins but
VLJ-N93; E565|
because he torments the Just & makes them do what he condemns as
VLJ-N93; E565|
Sin & what he knows is opposite to their own Identity
VLJ-N93; E565|
It is not because Angels are Holier than Men or Devils that
VLJ-N93; E565|
makes them Angels but because they do not Expect Holiness from
VLJ-N93; E565|
one another but from God only
VLJ-N93; E565|
The Player is a liar when he Says Angels are happier than [P
VLJ-N94; E565|
94] Men because they are better Angels are happier than Men <&
VLJ-N94; E565|
Devils> because they are not always Prying after Good & Evil in
VLJ-N94; E565|
One Another & eating the Tree of Knowledge for Satans
VLJ-N94; E565|
Gratification
VLJ-N94; E565|
Thinking as I do that the Creator of this World is a very
VLJ-N94; E565|
Cruel Being & being a Worshipper of Christ I cannot help saying
VLJ-N94; E565|
the Son O how unlike the Father <First God Almighty comes with a
VLJ-N94; E565|
Thump on the Head Then Jesus Christ comes with a balm to heal it>
VLJ-N94; E565|
The Last Judgment is an Overwhelming of Bad Art & Science.
VLJ-N94; E565|
Mental Things are alone Real what is Calld Corporeal Nobody Knows
VLJ-N94; E565|
of its Dwelling Place <it> is in Fallacy & its Existence an
VLJ-N94; E565|
Imposture Where is the Existence Out of Mind or Thought Where is
VLJ-N94; E565|
it but in the Mind of a Fool. Some People flatter themselves
VLJ-N94; E565|
that there will be No Last Judgment & [P 95] that Bad Art will be
VLJ-N95; E565|
adopted & mixed with Good Art That Error or Experiment will make
VLJ-N95; E565|
a Part of Truth & they Boast that it is its Foundation these
VLJ-N95; E565|
People flatter themselves I will not Flatter them Error is
VLJ-N95; E565|
Created Truth is Eternal Error or Creation will be Burned Up &
VLJ-N95; E565|
then & not till then Truth or Eternity will appear It is Burnt up
VLJ-N95; E565|
the Moment Men cease to behold it I assert for My self that I do
VLJ-N95; E565|
not behold the Outward Creation & that to me it is hindrance &
VLJ-N95; E565|
not Action it is as the Dirt upon my feet No part of Me. What it
VLJ-N95; E565|
will be Questiond When the Sun rises do you not see a round
VLJ-N95; E566|
Disk of fire somewhat like a Guinea O no no I see an Innumerable
VLJ-N95; E566|
company of the Heavenly host crying Holy Holy Holy is the Lord
VLJ-N95; E566|
God Almighty I question not my Corporeal or Vegetative Eye any
VLJ-N95; E566|
more than I would Question a Window concerning a Sight I look
VLJ-N95; E566|
thro it & not with it.
