(5) But the Light shines through Death, and has made its royal Seat in the Midst or Center in the House of Death, and of God's Wrath, and generates to itself a new Body of God out of the House of Wrath, which subsists eternally in the Love of God, incomprehensibly to the old kindled Body in the outermost Birth or Geniture. [* Or divine Body.] Now thou wilt ask: How shall I understand this? Answer.

(17) But seeing the Light in the outermost Birth was extinguished, the Heat also was captivated in the Comprehensibility or Palpability, and could no more generate its Life. From thence Death came into Nature, so that Nature or the corrupt Earth could no more help it, and thereupon another Creation of Light must needs follow, or else the Earth would have been an eternal indissolvable Death; but now the Earth generates or brings forth Fruit in the Power and Kindling of the created Light. Now one might ask: What is the Condition then of this twofold Birth or Geniture? Is God then extinguished in the Kindling of the Wrath-fire, in the Place of this World, so that nothing is there else but a mere Wrath-fire? Or is the one only God become a twofold God? Answer.

(79) And the Life of the Light breaks through the Death, and generates to it another Body out of Death, which is not conformable to, or of the Condition of the Water, and the dead Earth; also it does not get their Taste and Smell, but the Power of the Light presses through, and tempers or mixes itself with the Power of the Earth, and takes from Death its Sting, and from the Wrath its poisonous venomous Power, and prefers forth up together in the Midst or Center of the Body, in the Growth or Vegetation, as a Heart thereof.

(119) Thus thou seest, how the Power or Virtue of the Word and eternal Life in the Earth, and in its Children, lies hidden in the Center in Death, and springs up through Death, incomprehensibly as to the Death, and continually travels in Anguish to the Birth of the Light, and yet cannot flourish or bud, till the Death be separated from it.

(50) Now this Love and Wrath is indeed one Body, but the Water of Life is the Heaven of Partition between them, so that the Love does not receive or comprehend the Wrath, nor the Wrath the Love, but the Love rises up in the Water of Life, and receives into itself from the first and austere Birth the Power, which is in the Light, which is generated out of the Wrath; so that the new Body is born out of the old.

(16) The Light of God, which is the Son of God, as also the Holy Ghost, died not, but the Light, which is gone forth from or out of the Heart of God from Eternity, and has enlightened Nature, which is generated out of the seven Spirits, that is departed or gone away from the hard corrupted Nature; from whence it is, that the Nature of this World with its Comprehensibility or Palpability has remained in Death, and cannot apprehend the Light of God, but is a dark House of Devils.

(37) But now thou must not think, that thereupon the whole Nature or Place of this World is become a mere bitter Wrath of God. No; here lies the Point; the Wrath does not comprehend the innermost Birth or Geniture in Nature, for the Love of God is yet hidden in the Center, in the whole Place of this World, and so the House which Lord Lucifer is to be in, is not fully separated, but there is still in all Things of this World, both Love and Wrath one in another, and they always wrestle and thrive one with another.

(17) But seeing the Love and Meekness of God would not leave the Body or Place of this kindled wrath World flicking in eternal Wrath and Ignominy, therefore he generated the whole old Body of this World again into a rectified, reformed Body; wherein Life ruled in a divine Manner and Way; though in the kindled Wrath, yet it must subsist according to the Right of the Deity, that out of it a new Body might be generated, which should subsist in Holiness and Purity in Eternity.
