Behold, saith the Lamb of God,
after I have visited the remnant of the house of Israel
— and this remnant of whom I speak is the seed of thy father —
wherefore, after I have visited them in judgment,
and smitten them by the hand of the Gentiles,
and after the Gentiles do stumble exceedingly,
because of the most plain and precious parts of the gospel of the Lamb
which have been kept back by that abominable church,
which is the mother of harlots, saith the Lamb —
I will be merciful unto the Gentiles in that day,
insomuch that I will bring forth unto them, in mine own power,
much of my gospel, which shall be plain and precious, saith the Lamb.

and she is the whore of all the earth.

And when the day cometh
that the wrath of God is poured out upon the mother of harlots,
which is the great and abominable church of all the earth,
whose founder is the devil,

in preparing the way for the fulfilling of his covenants,
which he hath made to his people who are of the house of Israel.
