What seems to Be
“What seems to Be, Is, To those to whom It seems to Be, and is productive of the most dreadful Consequences to those to whom it seems to be, even of Torments, Despair, Eternal Death; but the Divine Mercy Steps beyond and Redeems Man in the Body of Jesus.”
(“Jerusalem,” Plate 36)
Is Jesus a man?
“If Thou Humblest Thyself,
Thou humblest Me;
Thou also dwell’st in Eternity.
Thou art a Man, God is no more,
Thy own Humanity learn to adore.”
(“Everlasting Gospel”)
The Eternal Body
“The Eternal Body of Man
is The Imagination,
that is,
God himself,
The Divine Body,
Jesus;
we are his Members.”
(“The Laocoön”)
