9 The ninth Star, is the Beatifical vision of God, when there shall be no marks to keep us from the Mount of the Lord, no bounds to separate us from that border of glory.1 When it shall no more be said, Whosoever toucheth the mount, shall surely die. But the contrary;2 Whosoever toucheth the mount, shall surely live. The sight was then so terrible, that Moses said, I exceedingly quake and fear. This sight shall be so comfortable, that every one shall say, I exceedingly rejoice and love. We shall see the Deity so glorious; even the Lamb advanced in our flesh to be one Person with God. How we love to behold the majesty of Princes, in all the state, magnificence, and pomp of their Courts? But this heavenly vision for one hour is worth a thousand years speculation of their glory. This is the Diamond of the Ring, the precious stone of the gate, the brightest Star of all, to behold the glorious presence of God.
