He (Jesus, the Son) was in the divine mind of the Father from eternity, foreordained before the foundation of the world, foretold in prophecy and oracle, made known in the promises to Adam and the Fathers, through which Promises by shadow and figure they received the hope of eternal life, as by a finger pointing into the far distance...

He was manifested in the world in true human nature, a condition in which he was despised and disdained, yet filled with miraculous power...

After his resurrection he ascended into heaven, where he is now crowned with glory and honour,

Though under Antichrist all light and truth were buried in papal darkness, he is now calling his own people to him and enlightening them.

At the time of the consummation of the age he will reign a thousand years with his own people on this earth which will be made most blessed. Then afterwards he will hand over the Kingdom to God the Father who will rule perpetually with all the number of those who, according to the Promise, form his perfect body, his ecclesia. 40
