My Dear Sir,

This week my Seventh Series has commenced, which will end only with life. More startling than ever. I wish that you may live to see my ‘Revelations’ in print, and their effect. I have just completed them dictated on the most important Issues by the highest Authority therefore they are Authoritative. I think you will change your tone, if ever you hear or see them. I think that the whole will commend themselves to your Reason which cannot teach the unrevealed, but can, as you did, declare it’s reasonableness. I will [2] state the Theology of the near future in a few lines.

The highest point, which I with you, was unattainable, is now reached.

There is a Personal God of all Creation, Uncreated. He is never referred to in the Bible. He is not of our order of Being.

Creation, as far as it is known, is divided into an uncountable number of Universes, confirming the theory of Mr J E Gore2, "The visible Universe" is one of these.

In the Centre of these, and Lord of all these is the Throne of "The Universal Father". [3] He is one Progenitor, Distant beyond conception. He is referred to only by Daniel, as "The Ancient of Days".

At the head of each "Universe" is a "Father" of whom Jehovah, "Our Father" is one.

The Lord Jesus Christ is His Natural Son, born countless Ages ago. This World was made by or through Him and for Him.

Therefore, "Belief" in "Him", is absolutely necessary to reconcilement to on with The Father.

The Holy Spirit of Truth is the Medium of The Supreme, and of His Order of Being, not ours.

[4] These are facts, in which you are in every sense, interested.

I came here on the express instructions of The Lord Jesus Christ on an errand of Mercy, and expected to end my days here. This morning He tells me that He wants me again in England, where I shall prepare for coming on the day and Vessel of His own appointments. I have followed Him above sixty years and have not yet been deceived and my itinerary of the past seven years has fully established His greatest repute and excelled it.

Yours truly | Mr Jepsom [signature]3
