17
And the amists of darkness are the temptations of the devil,
which bblindeth the eyes,
and hardeneth the hearts of the children of men, and leadeth them away
into cbroad roads, that
they perish and are lost.

And the large and
spacious abuilding,
which thy father saw, is
vain bimaginations and the
cpride of the
children of men. And a great and a terrible
dgulf divideth them; yea, even the word of the ejustice
of the Eternal God, and the Messiah who is the Lamb of God, of whom the
Holy Ghost beareth record, from the beginning of the world until this time, and
from this time henceforth and forever.

-the sad part for the wicked is
that their vanity and pride isn’t even real.
It’s made up in their own minds:
its “imaginations”.
“a great and
terrible gulf divideth them, yea even the word of the justice of the Eternal
God”
-notice the nature of the “word
of God” in its comparison to a “great gulf”
-the word of God separates the good and evil. That is bad for the sinner (they have no part
nor place) but good for the righteous (they are safe on ‘their’ side: kept away/insulated from sin).
