24、会众到齐之后，牧师登上讲坛，作充满属灵智慧的布道。布道的主题是圣经的神圣，并主藉此与灵界、尘世这两个世界的结合。牧师所受的启示足以使他能充分证明：这本圣书是主耶和华口授的，所以主就在它里面，甚至祂就是其中的智慧；但智慧，即圣言里的主自己，隐藏在字义之下，只揭示给那些拥有教义真理、生活良善之人，因此他们在主里面，主也在他们里面。牧师以诚挚的祷告结束了布道，从讲坛上下来。会众散离后，天使请求牧师向他的十个同伴说几句平安的话。于是，牧师走到他们跟前，他们一起谈了半小时。牧师提到了神的三位一体，说它就在耶稣基督里面，如使徒保罗所说，神一切的丰盛，都有形有体地居于祂里面，然后又谈及仁和信的结合，但由于信就是真理，所以他说的是仁爱和真理的结合。
24、人们就位后，牧师走上讲坛，他的讲道中充满了智慧。牧师讲述了《圣经》的神圣，讲了主通过《圣经》与自然界及精神界相结合，他彻底说明了《圣经》是由耶和华口授的，主体现在《圣经》之中，主就是其中的智慧。但是，那种智慧存在于字面意义之下，只展示给追于真理的高尚的人，因此他们在主里，主在他们之中。
牧师以虔诚的祈祷结束了讲道，退下去了。
在人们准备离开时，天使请牧师讲几句话向十个来访者告别。于是牧师走过来，他们谈了半小时。牧师讲到了三位一体，他说它存在于耶稣之中，在其中体现着神的躯体，这是根据使徒保罗而来的。然后他讲到了慈爱及信仰的统一，他说慈爱和信仰的统一是因为信仰是真理。
24. When they were assembled, the priest went up into the pulpit and preached a sermon full of the spirit of wisdom. Its subject was the holiness of Sacred Scripture, and how by its means the Lord is linked with both the spiritual and natural worlds.. The enlightenment he enjoyed enabled him to prove fully that this holy book was dictated by the Lord Jehovah, so that He was present in it, to such an extent that He was the wisdom it contains. But the wisdom, which is the Lord Himself in it, lies hidden beneath the literal sense, and is not laid open except to those who possess the truths of doctrine and at the same time lead a good life, so that they are in the Lord and the Lord is in them. He ended his sermon with an earnest prayer, and then came down.
As the congregation was leaving, the angel asked the priest to say a few words of greeting to his ten companions. So he came over to them, and they talked together for half an hour. The priest spoke about the Divine Trinity, saying it was in Jesus Christ, in whom dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily, as the Apostle Paul stated. Afterwards he spoke about the union of charity and faith, but what he said was the union of charity and truth, because faith is truth.
24. When the congregation was assembled, a priest went up into the pulpit, and he preached a sermon full of the spirit of wisdom. He preached on the sacredness of the Holy Scripture and on the conjunction of the Lord with each world, the spiritual and the natural, by means of it. In the enlightenment in which he was, he established fully that that Holy Book was dictated by Jehovah the Lord, and that the Lord is therefore present in it, even so that He is the wisdom in it. But that wisdom, he said, which is the Lord in it, lies hidden beneath the literal meaning and is not disclosed except to people who are concerned with truths of doctrine and at the same time with goodness in life, thus who are in the Lord and the Lord in them.
He concluded the sermon with a reverent prayer and descended.

24. After they all gathered, a minister mounted the pulpit and delivered a sermon full of the spirit of wisdom. The sermon was on the holiness of Sacred Scripture and how it joins the Lord both with the spiritual and with the natural world. In the enlightenment he enjoyed, he demonstrated fully that the holy Book was composed by Jehovah the Lord, and that therefore He Himself is in it to the point that He Himself is the wisdom in it. But he showed that the wisdom that is Himself in it lies concealed beneath the literal sense and appears only to those who have truths from religious instruction and at the same time have good in their lives, so that they are in the Lord and the Lord in them. He added to his talk a spoken prayer and stepped down.
After the listeners left, the angel asked the priest to say a few words of peace with his ten companions.

Then they discussed the union of charity and faith - only he called it the union of charity and truth, because faith is truth.

Its subject was the holiness of the Sacred Scripture, and the conjunction, by its means, of the Lord with both worlds, the spiritual and the natural. In the illustration in which he was, he fully proved that this Holy Book was dictated by Jehovah, the Lord; and that hence He is in it even so that He is the wisdom therein; but that the wisdom which is Himself therein, lies concealed beneath the sense of the letter and is opened only to those who are in truths of doctrine and at the same time in goods of life, and so are in the Lord and the Lord in them. To the sermon he added a votive prayer, and then descended.

24. When all were assembled, the priest mounted the pulpit and preached a sermon full of the spirit of wisdom. It was about the holiness of Sacred Scripture and about the Lord's union by means of the Scripture with both the spiritual world and the natural world. In the illumination which the priest enjoyed, he showed convincingly that the Holy Book was dictated by Jehovah, the Lord; that therefore He is in it, even to being the wisdom in it; but that the wisdom which is He in it, lies concealed under the sense of the letter and is opened only to those who are in truths of doctrine and at the same time in goods of life and therefore in the Lord, and He in them. To the sermon he added a prayer, and descended.
As the listeners dispersed, the angel asked the priest to speak some farewell words to his ten companions.

24. Postquam congregati sunt, ascendit Sacerdos pulpitum, et concionabatur sermonem plenum spiritu sapientiae: Concio erat de sanctitate Scripturae sacrae, et de conjunctione Domini cum utroque Mundo, Spirituali et Naturali, per illam; in illustratione, in qua erat, plene convicit, quod Sanctus ille Liber dictatus sit a Jehovah Domino, et quod inde Ipse sit in illo, adeo ut Ipse sit Sapientia ibi; sed quod Sapientia, quae est Ipse inibi, sub sensu literae jaceat recondita, et non aperiatur nisi illis, qui in veris doctrinae, et simul in bonis vitae sunt, et sic in Domino et Dominus in illis: Concioni subjunxit votivam orationem, et descendit. Exeuntibus auditoribus Angelus rogavit Sacerdotem, ut aliqua verba pacis cum decem suis comitibus loqueretur; et accessit ad illos, et colloquebantur per semissem horae, et loquebatur de Divina Trinitate, quod illa in Jesu Christo sit, in Quo Plenitudo omnis Divinitatis corporaliter habitat, secundum edictum Apostoli Pauli; et postea de Unione Charitatis et Fidei, sed dixit, de Unione Charitatis et Veritatis, quia Fides est Veritas.
