Every serious student of Bible prophecy understands the times we are in. Through the rapid and electrifying succession of numerous life-changing and world-altering events, the Bible Book of Revelation, so little understood for the past 2,000 years, is now beginning to see its fulfillment. And if certain mysteries depicted in that book are now being fulfilled in this our day, then every serious student of Jane Lead can expect that the mysteries she wrote about will soon have their fulfillment as well.
This commentary on her Propositions (excerpts from her Messages to the Philadelphian Society), is a project that began several years ago. But this Writer had yet to attain to a better understanding of the content, and to experience a number of personal and inward challenges as well. But the Thrice-Holy God, having established a renewed interest and strengthening in Spirit, has now opened the way for this study to come forth.
Contrary to what some are declaring at this time, it is the opinion of this Writer that there is not yet any outward or visible manifestation of the Kingdom that Mrs. Lead describes in the following message. Neither have the Principal Agents of that Kingdom made their appearance in any outward or public manner. But for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, the Kingdom of our Christ it is most definitely on the near horizon.
This Writer does not claim divine inspiration for these Notes & Commentary. However, to say that the Spirit of Christ was not directly involved would be an untruth. For the same Spirit who inspired Mrs. Lead's writings must of necessity also be the Interpreter. Therefore if anyone has a clearer understanding of what was written by Mrs. Lead—this Writer is most willing to be edified.
