the holiest, where the Father sat. There I beheld Jesus, a great High
Priest, standing before the Father. On the hem of His garment was a
bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate. Those who rose
up with Jesus would send up their faith to Him in the holiest, and
pray, “My Father, give us Thy Spirit.” Then Jesus would breathe
upon them the Holy Ghost. In that breath was light, power, and
much love, joy, and peace.

I turned to look at the company who were still bowed before the
throne; they did not know that Jesus had left it. Satan appeared to be
by the throne, trying to carry on the work of God. I saw them look
up to the throne, and pray, “Father, give us Thy Spirit.” Satan would
then breathe upon them an unholy influence; in it there was light and
much power, but no sweet love, joy, and peace. Satan’s object was
to keep them deceived and to draw back and deceive God’s children.
