======================================================================== JUNE 2. 1678. THE INTERPRETATION OF THE VISION. by Jane Lead ======================================================================== Summary: The sermon interprets a vision of fire-sparks as representing the divine nature of God, which will bring forth a body of its own kind through the refining process. Topics: "Holy Spirit", "Spiritual Refining" Scripture References: 1 Corinthians 3:16, Galatians 5:22, 1 Peter 1:7, Revelation 1:20 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jane Lead shares a vision of fire-sparks being scattered in a clear ground, uniting to form a glorious, pale-colored body resembling lightning. She interprets these sparks as unmixed essences of the Deity coagulating with pure elements to bring forth a body of its own kind, representing the manifestation of the Spirit. Lead emphasizes the refining process by the Lord to prepare individuals who are receptive to the Spirit for this manifestation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONTENT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The former Vision did open to me again, concerning the Fire-sparks, that did appear to be in a Hand, that scattered them in a Ground, that was as clear as the Air. The Number was the same of those Stars, that are mentioned in the Revelations. But these after a while, did all together unite in one Body, into a Figurative Body, all Fire-like; but of a pale Colour like Lightning, but very Glorious. Then this Word came with it, These which thou hast seen, are the unmixed Essences of the Deity, which Coagulating with the matter of the pure Element, as Seed sown in its own proper Ground, will bring forth a Body of its own kind, in Figure and Spirit, as this is Consubstantiated into the very Body of God. This is the right Grain of the Spirit, which in no Ground hath ever yet come up for Manifestation. But the Lord is refining and making some ready for it, as they shall be found yieldable to the Spirit the Sower. [For the further Interpretation of this Vision, see what was afterwards revealed upon the 14th Day of this very Month.] ======================================================================== Source: https://sermonindex.net/speakers/jane-lead/june-2-1678-the-interpretation-of-the-vision/ ========================================================================
