(25) Now when this is done, then the spirit which has opened the gates is angry, because none will go OUT and IN at its doors any more, and then it flings the doorposts 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.

(46) And the fourfold wind, and the sevenfold wind, and the whirlwind, and the wind which had no equal

(112) But that the lips stand open, when it is come hissing through the teeth, signifieth that he [The Holy Ghost] with his going forth out of the heart of God, in the creation of this world, has opened again the gates of heaven, and is gone through the gates of God's wrath, and has left the wrath of God strongly shut and bolted up, and has left the devil his eternal kindled wrathhouse close locked up, out of which he cannot come eternally.

(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. These draw into them, and fill the Chamber of the Deep, [viz.] the free and naked Will in the Mind; they bring the Glimpse [or Glance] of the Stars into the Gate of the Mind, and qualify with the Sharpness of the Glimpse [or Flash;] they fill the broken Gates of the Darkness with Flesh, and wrestle continually with the first Will (from whence they are gone forth) for the Kingdom [or Dominion,] and yield themselves up to the first Will, as to their Father, which willingly receives their Region [or Dominion.] For he is obscure and dark, and they are rough and sour, also bitter and cold; and their Life is a seething Source of Fire, wherewith they govern in the Mind, in the Gall, Heart, Lungs, and Liver, and in all Members [or Parts] of the whole Body, and Man is their own; the Spirit which stands in the Flash brings the Constellation into the Tincture of its Property, and infects the Thoughts, according to the Dominion of the Stars; they take the Body and tame it, and bring their bitter Roughness into it.

(23) And they will stand (with bows and) swords and war to turn them back into the way ; but they will not return until much blood hath been shed on the earth, one by another.

(116) And in the same way as the spirit goeth forth from the heart through the grumbling, murmuring and snarling of the bitter and astringent quality, very strongly and powerfully, and with its going forth ruleth in the astringent and bitter quality, incomprehensibly as to the astringent and bitter quality, as a potent king, so also the spirit of God ruleth in the outermost birth or geniture of this world (in the wrathhouse) mightily, and generateth to himself a temple therein, incomprehensibly to the wrathhouse.

(24) Then he will come to destroy all of them. And they will be chastised until they become pure. Moreover their period, which was given to them to have power, which was apportioned to them, (is) fourteen hundred and sixty years. When the fire has consumed them all, and when it does not find anything else to burn, then it will perish by its own hand. Then the [...] will be completed [...] the second power [...] the mercy will come [...] through wisdom [...]. Then the firmaments will fall down into the depth. Then the sons of matter will perish; they will not be, henceforth.
