God here gives us some of His most exquisite self-revelations through the Israelitish peasant-soul. The middle of this rich second period is filled by a great prophet-priest's figure, and a great prophetical priestly reform.
On the 6th day of January, 1838, which was Saturday and the feast of Epiphany or Christ's manifestation, a great prophetical feast for our mission, I received the order from my guardian, the martyr in Revel. xiv: 14, who was crucified and burned by the Pope, and found by the Heavenly Congress, Revel. xiv: 1, as best qualified to be my principal director in what I had to perform in the cathedral Church in Boston.
Bessie's words to Edna had been strangely prophetical "Trouble may come to me one day;" it had come already, in its most crushing form. The bond of sisterhood is very strong; it has peculiar and precious privileges, apart from other relationships; a sort of twinship of sympathy unites many sisters who have grown up together. Their thoughts and interests are seldom apart.
Here now I might begin to speak of His prophetical and kingly office, and the privileges that do and shall come thereby, but that I fear I shall be too tedious, therefore at this time I shall pass them by. Thus you may see how the Covenant of Grace doth run, and with Whom it was made, and also what were the conditions thereof.
I had to mention some points at my public initiation to my present mission in which I had to perform in the first place in the Roman Catholic Church what was required according to prophecies to give the Pope and his bishops the most solemn divine testimony, that their prophetical administration is accomplished, and that their highest duty is to become with us messengers of the dispensation of the fulness of times Ephes. 1:10, in which all in Heaven and on Earth should be united and pacified in Christ.
All great improvement is the fruit of speculation, upon which, indeed, commerce itself is based. We have, therefore, no sympathy for that numerous class of gentlemen who profess a pious horror for every venture of the kind, who croak prophetical bankruptcies, and would disinherit their sons without scruple, if by any accident they detected them in dalliance with scrip.
It is Mary's purification and Christ's presentation in the temple; and that our reference to the casting of votes for the speaker in the House of the United States destroyed the spell and they agreed at length in the prophetical name Banks, with which there was already great trouble, and the greater troubles will follow the longer nations delay to apply our remedies against the manifold enormous evils with which nations are harrassed and ruined.
Benjamin Franklin White, doctor of medicine, has most suitable names expressing his prophetical position, as we will have perhaps elsewhere opportunity to explain the mystery.
He threw his sentences into air, and let them find their feet as they could. But to-day, unconsciously, his talk took a tone that was rare with him became prophetical, pontifical assumed a note of unction. And often, as Molly noticed, with a slight instinctive gesture a fatherly turning towards that golden spot made by Laura's hair among the shadows.
While a message to any individual is rare in the prophetical books, that which we come upon wherever we open them is a patriotic and statesman-like appeal on the condition of the country.
