(25) now when this is done, then the Spirit is angry, which has opened the Gates, because none will go OUT and IN at its Doors any more, and then it flings the Door-posts into the Abyss, and then there is no more Time at all. Those that are within, remain within; and those that are without, remain without. AMEN. Now it may be asked, What are the Stars? Answer.

(9) Now these two Gates are in one another; the nethermost goes into the Abyss, and the uppermost goes into Paradise; and a third Gate comes to these two, out of the Element with its four Productions, and presses in together with the Fire, Air, Water, and Earth; and their Kingdom is the Sun and Stars, which qualify with the first Will; and their Desire is to be filled, to swell, and to be great.

(14) They are the Power of the seven Spirits of God; for when the Wrath of God was kindled by the Devil in this World, then the whole House of this World in Nature, or the outermost Birth or Geniture, was as it were benumbed or chilled in Death, from whence the Earth and Stones are come to be. But when this hard Dross or Scum was driven together into a Lump or Heap, then the Deep was cleared, but was very dark, for the Light therein was dead in the Wrath. But
