1. SUMMARIA EXPOSITIO DOCTRINAE NOVAE ECCLESIAE, QUAE PER NOVAM HIEROSOLYMAM IN APOCALYPSI INTELLIGITUR.

Postquam aliqua Opera et Opuscula de NOVA HIEROSOLYMA, per quam intelligitur NOVA Ecclesia a Domino instauranda, intra aliquot annos a me promulgata sunt, et postquam Apocalypsis revelata est, in animum induxi Doctrinam illius Ecclesiae in sua plenitudine, ita integram, in lucem edere: sed quia hoc aliquot annorum opus est, consultum duxi aliquam Sciagraphiam ejus emittere, propter causam, ut communis idea de illa Ecclesia et ejus Doctrina primum concipiatur; quoniam dum communia praecedunt, postea omnia et singula in sua latitudine exstantia in luce apparent, haec enim in communia intrant, sicut homogenea in sua receptacula. Attamen Breviarium hoc non subjicitur judiciis ventilandum, sed modo communicatur ad notitiam, quia hujus Contenta in ipso Opere plene demonstrabuntur. Sed praemittenda sunt Doctrinalia hodierna de Justificatione, propter sequentia de Discordantiis dogmatum Ecclesiae hodiernae et Ecclesiae novae.

118. 2. The Lord is also called Father, and the church, mother. That the Lord is called Father is apparent from the following passages:

...Unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given.... And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, God..., Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6)

You, Jehovah, are our Father; our Redeemer from of old is Your name. (Isaiah 63:16)

(Jesus said,) "He who sees Me sees (the Father) who sent Me." (John 12:45)

"If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him." (John 14:7)

Philip said..., "...Show us the Father...." Jesus said to him, "...He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, 'Show us the Father'?" (John 14:8-9)

(Jesus said,) "The Father and I are one." (John 10:30)

"All things that the Father has are Mine." (John 16:15, cf. 17:10)

"...the Father is in Me, and I in the Father." (John 10:38, cf. 14:10-11,20)

(We showed in full in The Apocalypse Revealed that the Lord and His Father are one as the soul and body are one; that God the Father descended from heaven and assumed a human form in order to redeem and save mankind; and that His human form is what is called the Son who was sent into the world.)
