Preliminary Remarks
Attentive readers will find superabundance of signs or credentialstestifying the mission of every one who comprehends this book and actswith us for the accomplishment of the great promise, if they peruse thewhole book as often as necessary for a full understanding of each eventmentioned herein in connexion with the whole. From this connection ofevents it is evident, that in collisions in to which we have come withour opposers during the performance of the duties of our mission, wewere under the direction of those invisible guardians who are labouringto introduce the promised new era of Truth and Righteousness, while ouropposers were endeavouring to support the existing systems of delusionand iniquity, and that spirits of all spheres, heavenly angels as wellas infernal demons, give testimony to our mission, spirits of eachsphere in such a manner as is most suitable to their sphere. By thedevelopments made in this book the secret enemies of true Republicanismare made manifest, and it is made clear, how every party and sect,notwithstanding their profession of republicanism, are supportingPopery, or, what is the same Monarchy, if they disregard our disclosuresconcerning the Roman Catholic and the Protestant churches in referenceto Christ's Peaceable Reign which will be the universal republic oftruth and righteousness, and if they neglect to co-operate with usfor its introduction.
When I say "us," I understand the whole body of messengers whom Irepresent. I became Representative of this Body by having performed andexplained what has been shown to me by the Spirit of Truth for theintroduction of the promised New Era. No imaginations, but facts,events, are testifying our Heavenly Mission for the true Freedom,Harmony and Peace of Nations, as well as the infernal Mission of thosewho either openly or secretly, are opposed to our mission. In this theircondition they are supporting the Papal Imperial Royal or Monarchialpowers. This will be evident to those who comprehend this book. Thenthey will know that those are either wittingly deceivers, or aredeceived and rep
