indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the
presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
Revelation 14 : 19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth,
and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress
of the wrath of God.
Revelation 15 : 1 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and
marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is
filled up the wrath of God.
and also;
Revelation 14 : 7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory
to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that
made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
Revelation 15 : 4 Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy
name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship
before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest. etc.
In the Eighth Call, the symbolism is even more striking; THE Midday,
the first is as the third Heaven made of 26 Hyacinthine Pillars, in
whom the Elders are become strong, which I have prepared for mine
own Righteousness, saith the Lord: whose long continuance shall be as
bucklers to the Stooping Dragon, and like unto the harvest of a Widow.
How many are there which remain in the Glory of the Earth, which
are, and shall not see Death until the House fall and the Dragon sink?
Come away! for the Thunders (of increase) have spoken. Come away!
for the Crowns of the Temple and the Robe of Him that is, was, and
shall be, crowned, are divided! Come forth! Appear! to the terror of
the Earth, and to our comfort, and to the comfort of such as are
prepared.
Here the reference to the Dragon in the Revelation is functionally
equivalent to the use in the Call, as the phrase “How many are there
which remain in the Glory of the Earth, which are, and shall not see
Death until the House fall and the Dragon sink?” refers to the end of
the Dragon, which is to say, the present cosmic order.
Revelation 12 : 3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and
behold a Great Red Dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and
seven crowns upon his heads.
