and the Sun giveth his light by day & the Moon giveth her light by night & the Stars giveth their light as they roll upon their wings in their glory in the midst of the power of God— unto what shall I liken these kingdoms that ye may understand? behold all these are kingdoms & any man who hath seen any or the least of these have seen God moving in his majesty & power, I say unto you he hath seen him, nevertheless he who came unto his own was not comprehended the light shineth in darkness & the darkness comprehendeth it not, nevertheless the day shall come when you shall comprehend even God, being quickened in him & by him then shall ye know that ye have seen me that I am & that I am the true light that is in you & that you are in me otherwise ye could not abound, Behold I will liken these kingdoms unto a man [p.
