EPILOGUE

Things Angels Desire to Look into!

The fishing, O the Fishing to be Done! (Ezekiel 47)

Little A was conquered by love. As he wept, there came into his heart such an intense longing that he should become human, so that the embarrassment of their difference could depart and his mission could be more excellent, that he resolved to go to the very door of heaven, adjoining the Celestial Land, and seek for permission.

Arising with resolve, dressed in fortitude, keeping close to courage, and inspired by a combined meekness and love, therefore, he rose to the Land and set about finding the way to the Gate of Heaven, where upon receipt of the sound of his wings, the gate keeper opened and soon he bowed his head before the divine throne.

What brings you here ? came a voice like that of many waters.

You who know all things, know O my Lord, my quest. It is that I, permitted to become like man, could then the better preach the Gospel of grace to him, and being sent, could the more win the restless souls which are taken into  captivity by those like those who gave me audience in America.

And what would you do that is not done ?

I would seek, preach and teach, being all things to all men, first making myself man first.

And is this then done, O Little One, for has not Your own Lord done precisely this, and much more, by becoming man, teaching, preaching, seeking and finding, and dying, and paying the price of the ransom you preach, and breaking the bond of death they fear, and preparing to return to judgment on the earth ?

Yet there are so  many, the wolves are so hungry and verily they devour children.

If it were needful to send another christ, for another payment, or another gospel, or with another spirit, do you not realise it would have been done ? One incarnation is all, and all is one incarnation.

Pardon, precious Lord, responded Angie, and he did not know for the time whether he was dreaming, but it seemed to pass before the eyes of his soul, and so whether it were dreaming or not, he experienced it.

What is your request, then, since incarnation is done once, sacrifice is made once, and no more should be, can be or will be done, all other sacrifice being idolatry, mystery of iniquity and folly ?

It is then that you send out others  who are already human, and expressing by the power of your Spirit the grace of your word, the salvation which is free, all glorious and prodigious in its mercy, win many, while I am permitting to continue to work in my specified role as being entertained unawares as I minister to the heirs of salvation.

Your work has its own reward, and you are free to continue your endeavours; but it is for man to meet man, and for the gospel by man to be given, so that He who became man, not as an oddity, or an extravaganza, but as a work of the One who made man in His own image, taking that image, while being in the express and perfect image of God, may find many.

The Gospel of that one Incarnation, where that one Saviour made that one life, which culminating in that one death, for that one reason, that man be saved by grace through it, and so find eternal life to the glory of God: this was and is a gift for man. Though he curse, it is his own. Though he lament, it is the gift still. Even if he follows evil shepherds, the Truth is still freely available. Many are the saved, many are those who teach, preach, and many those who hear, and if many are those who follow their own lusts while formally on the divine highway, and so bring evil to the name of your Lord, yet it is but the rubbish blowing over the fields of grace, and it will soon be swept aside, and burnt with fire unquenchable.

Go, then, and remind others to go, Little Angel, in your lusty work on earth, but work as an angel, and let those who are men, do a man's part and promote, provide and pursue the Gospel, teach the word with all authority, fearing no man, becoming separate if need be from organisations so that the union and unity with the faithful may continue. Seek to rescue the oppressed, to stir and stimulate to more action, the people of the Lord, and the Lord's reward for you is that you will aid the work in your own function, like a violinist who, wanting better to be pianist, yet is most suited for his own work, and in doing it, does all for all, and so pleases the conductor.

Little Angel worshipped the Lord and fell before His throne, his little star twinkling in the vast and enthralling light, so that it appeared like one of a galaxy of grace before the throne of the Most High, and his heart was so warmed, that already there began to occur to him, ways of stirring the faithful to preach, reach and teach the more, the wondering to resolve their doubts, the wandering to come home and the churches to return to the Rock which is higher than they.

That night a search was made, and among the angels the story of the Little Angel became noted and the person of the Little One admired, so that bands of angels went out to aid the heirs of salvation, to help prepare the field and to launch spiritual missiles into the hearts and consciences of many, as Autumn leaves are launched by the wind. They were not that wind, but leaves within it, filled with the colours of delight, ubiquitous before the iniquitous, as they ministered to the heirs of salvation, many not yet won, and ready like ripe fruit, to be picked.
