July 25. 1678. the Flaming Tabernacle.
The Flaming Tabernacle is a place of healing and peace, accessible only to the humble and contrite, where God's all-healing power is found.
Jane Lead preaches about the future dwelling place of God's Holy Ones within the Body of the Sun, where a sure, quiet, and peaceable habitation awaits. This place holds all-healing power for the humble and contrite, but the rebellious and disdainful will be kept at a distance from this burning sphere in the heart of the Sun. God has set this apart as a consuming element for all that is not of a new creation from His substantial ground.
Text
When God shall pitch his Tabernacle for his Holy Ones, within the Body of the Sun, then shall they know, a sure, quiet, and peaceable Habitation. For all-healing Power is found there, to help the Humble and Contrite Ones. But for the rebellious and disdainful, there will be no coming near, this burning-Sphear, placed in the Heart of the Sun. And it is set a part by God, for his burning Element, that will consume all, that is not of a new created mold from God's substantial Ground.
