and will appear in the form of the human temple.
The term "heaven" denoteth loftiness and exaltation,
inasmuch as it is the seat of the revelation of
those Manifestations of Holiness, the Day-springs
of ancient glory. These ancient Beings, though
delivered from the womb of their mother, have in
reality descended from the heaven of the will of
God. Though they be dwelling on this earth, yet
their true habitations are the retreats of glory in
the realms above. Whilst walking amongst mortals,
they soar in the heaven of the divine presence.
Without feet they tread the path of the spirit, and
without wings they rise unto the exalted heights of
divine unity. With every fleeting breath they cover
the immensity of space, and at every moment traverse
the kingdoms of the visible and the invisible.
Upon their thrones is written: "Nothing whatsoever
keepeth Him from being occupied with any
other thing;" and on their seats is inscribed: "Verily,
His ways differ every day." (1) They are sent
forth through the transcendent power of the Ancient
of Days, and are raised up by the exalted will
of God, the most mighty King. This is what is
meant by the words: "coming in the clouds of
heaven."
