On that feast, which was celebrated A.D. 1856 on the 22d day of May, my pamphlet: "Redemption of oppressed Humanity! Christ's manifestation for the abolition of all kinds of Popery!" issued from the press in the same Printing Establishment of Cincinnati, into which Bishop Baraga came on that feast to see the proof-sheet of the title page of his Latin Book for his missionaries. Our meeting on that feast in a Protestant Printing Office was so unexpected, that we did not know each other, when we met at the compositors' room which he left while I was entering into it. I was then instructed by the compositors, that that gentleman was the same Bishop Baraga about whom I spoke in the pamphlet showing that while bishops were consecrating him or made him a bishop, they were crucifying Christ in his members; to wit, that bishop after having become so great an apostle of the Indians, that he was very renowned in our native country and at the Austrian Government, was made a medium by my leaders, that he opened the way for my voyage to America. But after having discovered, that our mission was not for, but against the Pope, he instead of having studied my books and examined our message of Peace and the credentials of our mission, became enraged. I expected that at a personal meeting with him I would make him comprehend our mission. But there was no opportunity until that feast on the 22d May, 1856, which was selected for the commencement of the spirit manifestations at my personal meetings with that medium of spirits of delusion and destruction.

After having written a considerable portion of the next following treatise, I am aware that I cannot encompass within so few pages as I am desirous to do, what is to be communicated there to nations, and I take from this treatise some sheets away, in which I have given disclosures, why we have mentioned in our Epistle to Bishop Anthony Slomshek also the Bishops of Triest and Goricia, whose predecessors should have at the same time opened the way to the circulation of our message of Peace in which time Bishop Anthony Aloysy Wolf should have been their co-operator for Peace. But Matthew Raunicher, who was at that time Bishop of Triest, should have been the leader of this work; because amongst those who belonged to the Austrian Government he was the first who received the first two volumes of my works. But he was formerly Professor of Dogmatics and as such also my professor, and was so fixed in the Dogmas of his infallible Church, that he could not study my books, to learn what all dogmatists of the so called christian denominations require, to with signs according to prophecies by which an "extraordinary ambassador" to the churches should prove his mission. I hope, that Raunicher's disciples, Bishop Baraga and Bishops and Priests in Illyria and elsewhere will learn at length that we have superabundance of signs according to prophecies testifying our mission against the infallibility of the Church, and for the great truth, that many of the Dogmas of the church are the most shocking absurdities, of they are taken as they have been delivered by the Papal Imperial Royal Hierarchy, but that we show a deeper sense, in which sound reason and science are reconciled with religion. But we close this treatise to get more room for the next following treatise, to assist the Pope and his bishops to prepare for their own and the ressurrection of their departed predecessors.

Fourth Treatise

Pious IX Bishop of Rome, Louis Napoleon Emperor of France, Francis Joseph Emperor of Austria, the three extraordinary witnesses of our on the title-page of this book expressed mission and powerful preachers to all governments and in the first place to the Government of the United States of North America, that they should submit to the Government of our Lord and his Christ and become with us messengers to introduce the promised universal Republic of Truth and Justice, Harmony and Peace on the whole Globe.

In the first three of my five German volumes the magnetic chain of memorable events to bind the dragon. Revel xx: 2, is so developed, that the proper position of the existing governments of the so called Christians is made manifest. They belong to the Beast with seven heads and to its ten horns either in the old or in a new fashion. Those three volumes having been published from A.D. 1838 to 1840, Pope Pius IX and the two named Emperors to whom the world's attention is now directed, have not been mentioned in those volumes nor known to mortal men, that they will occupy the position, on which they appear according to prophecies, nor they themselves nor other men know at this time that position, if they have not studied the magnetic chain exhibited in those volumes to bind the dragon, Revel, xx.:2, the large serpent, the image of the spirit of delusion and destruction by whom rulers and their supporters have been inspired with such a madness as to apply their studies how to kill men in the most cunning manner and to strip the remnant of their property and keep them in bondage. Each of those volumes is of a considerable size; the third is the largest containing 864 pages. But the substance of their contents is concentrated in the Latin manuscript, written at the commencement of 1849.

If Theologians had studied my German volumes or attended the Latin Convention to which they have been most earnestly invited, they had known without my explanation the position of these three great representatives, or rather they had converted them long ago into the messengers of Peace. But after matters had arrived so far as they are now manifest, we must do what we can for the benefit of these three witnesses and of those who are attached to one or the other as well as for the benefit of all governments and their subjects; because all are preparing instruments for destruction of human life and property and drilling men to destroy or wound their fellow men in the most artful and cunning manner, and to reward with the highest premiums those who perform best this most criminal work.

If you ask, by whose authority they are doing this, the answer is given: "and the Dragon gave him his power, and his seat and great authority," Revel. xiii: 2. to wit, to the representative of the Beast with seven heads and ten horns. Under the Christian mask he became such a terrible monster, that no other epithet was more suitable for him than that of a Therion, of a ferocious beast having seven heads and ten horns. Having been inspired and directed by the Dragon and his host, he could not teach his sons and daughters, emperors and empresses, kings and queens, a better doctrine than that which was infixed in his heads by the Dragon and his host. "The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth; and they are seven kings; five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he comes, he must continue a short space," Revel. xvii: 9 and 10.

It is to be understood, that in a brief treatise we can give only some hints in regard to certain links of the long chain of events, which is exhibited in the first three from A.D. 1838 to 1840 published volumes. The three at the head of this treatise mentioned witnesses are so extraordinary links added to that chain, that while I was writing those three volumes I thought that the chain was long and strong enought to bind the Dragon and to establish Peace on the whole Globe. But when people would not spread that chain, it was after that much protracted. In the years 1841 and 1842 the 4th and 5th German volumes and then a number of English pamphlets were added; but the last links of the chain cannot be understood without some knowledge of the preceding links.

In every age men were awakened, whose intellectual and moral improvement was above the general course of the age, and who were endeavoring to warn and elevate the fallen generation. They were preparing the way for our advent, and disclosing what belonged to their sphere, that it might receive more light in "the dispensation of the fulness of times" Ephes. 1: 10, to introduce which we are commissioned. One of those forerunners, was Doctor Bengel, disclosing what belonged to his mission in the first half of the last century, so that in the same years of the 18th century remarkable disclosures have been made by his instrumentality, in which years in the 19th century Heavenly messengers have given great disclosures by my instrumentality regarding Christ's peaceable reign on earth. A.D. 1740 his German work "Erklaerte Offenbarung" (Revelation explained) was published; and exactly one hundred years after that, on Easter Saturday, 1840, my third German volume, by which the chain to bind the Dragon was complete, issued from the press. To wit, in the first and second volumes the "memorable events" are reported, which took place at our experience for the abolition of Popery, or what is the same, for the abolition of monarchy; and in the third volume is shown, that memorable events which are explained in my first two volumes, happened according to prophecies which are in the Bible and also in other works of ancient times and have been repeated through the course of centuries of the Christian Era, and that the memorable events which happened at our experience, would not have scared priests and preachers, but would have been expected by them, if they had not been ignoramuses of what our forerunners had disclosed before us, or stubborn materialistic hypocrites, not beleaving what they preach and profess by their performance.

The principal of those forerunners have been mentioned in that volume, and how far each in his situation saw the objects, which have received in our mission a light which could not be obtained in former ages. Doctor Bengel occupies amongst those forerunners a peculiar place; because he is the second angel or messenger, spoken of in Revel. xiv: 8, that is, the representative of messengers by whom the contents of that verse are fulfilled, because he was the first amongst those, who have proclaimed prophetically Christ's coming or Christ's manifestation to effect the fall of Babylon while they were showing the time in which it had to take place, and disclosing many other deep things which were not known before, and have warned people powerfully, to prepare for Christ's coming. This was done by Doctor Bengel and his disciples prophetically, I mean, that they saw Christ's coming only in the image of the Biblical prophets, and did not know the manner of his coming, and pointed out the year 1836, as the tropical year for his coming. But when that year expired, those who had before great confidence in Dr. Bengel's disclosures, said, that he was mistaken in the calculation of the times. But we have shown according to our mission in the 3rd. of the mentioned volumes, that Doctor Bengel was not mistaken in what belonged to the sphere of his mission, and his wonderful calculation was correct regarding the time, but that what he wrote regarding the manner of Christ's coming and other things were not correct, which not he but the third angel, Revel. xiv. 8, had to disclose; because the year 1836 was the tropical year, at the expiration of which the 3d angel had to appear, and then to perform his task and explain the prophetical images and other things which have not been understood before that explanation; because the Lord came at that time as a thief, Revel. xvi: 15. The thief is not seen, when he takes away what he finds suitable for his use. And the same have we done in our mission in which was gradually disclosed, that Christ comes by us, his messengers, and discloses what is needed, by the direction of his invisible agents who are operating through our mediumship.
