The strange effects of faith. Fourth part

there was one the size of a bullock, but covered with wool like a sheep, remarkably long and white as snow, with a head like a lamb. The others were of the common size of sheep, lying around the large one; but all had long white wool like snow and faces like lambs. Some were the size of lambs, and all lay in the air around the large one, and the heavens seemed covered with them, so that some appeared near to the earth. In the morning when I awoke, it was said to me—

"Arise and write; the daylight has now come;
My Spirit is waiting to direct your hand."

The way it was then explained is now concealed from me, as my writings are sealed away. I only remember these words. When I had written, "the light came from the moon," I was questioned, "Where do you see the moon?" I threw down my pen in astonishment, knowing I did not see the moon, but I had judged it to be so from the light, as I dreamed it at midnight. I was answered—

"What you have written, I well know is true;
It was I who brought this vision to your view."

I cannot recall how it was then explained, but it was done in such a beautiful manner that my eyes were drowned in tears while I wrote what was then revealed concerning Christ and his flock. It is now answered in the following manner:

"Then Christ and his flock must now stand together,
And prove from this vision that my kingdom is at hand;
And my flock shall appear as white as wool;
And you shall all clearly see the light from my lambs;
My Spirit has descended so far from my throne,
And now my Spirit has come so near to the earth.
And surely I will gather my sheep around me Likely referring to the divine presence or the Messiah,
And now you may sleep in safety in the air;
No light from the moon needs to appear there;
I will enlighten my shepherds to lead you all here;
So walk in this light before it is gone;
My flock must not linger: it is time to come;
Because this vision is concealed from your view,
You know little of how it was explained;
