This anthology of Jacob Boehme's essential writings follows the course of the waters of Ezekiel's Temple: ankle-deep, knee-deep, hip-deep, "waters to swim in" and finally "a river that cannot be passed over." (Ezekiel 47) It begins with the easiest of his writings and ends with selections from The Signature of All Things.As Christianity declines and "lawlessness abounds," it appears that we are entering the time that Boehme called "the judgment of Babylon" and "The Time of the Lily.""In the time of the end, the time of the Lily, these writings will be sought out and understood. To all who are shooting forth into the fair Lily in the kingdom of God, who are in the process of birth, are these lines written; that each one may be strengthened, and bud in the life of God, and grow, and bear fruit in the Tree of paradise."
