There was a Seamstress in a province who was renowned throughout the land, for every garment that left her hand appeared as a masterwork unto all who beheld it. The noblemen paid her in gold, the merchants brought her the finest linen, and the women of the city came saying, Clothe us. But the Seamstress had not a needle of her own. In her youth a great Physician had placed into her hand a needle forged from the iron of his own mountain and said unto her:

This needle is not thine. It is lent unto thee. With it thou shalt mend the torn garments of the naked and the wounded, and every stitch thou makes shall carry the thread I have given thee — for the thread is mine also. Mend freely. Charge nothing. And when the garments of the poor are whole, return the needle unto my hand, and I shall know thee by the stitches. But the Seamstress, beholding the cunning of the needle and the strength of the thread, said within herself: The Physician shall not miss one needle among all his instruments, and the thread is so fine that who shall trace its origin?

So she took commissions from the wealthy and stitched garments of vanity and robes of ceremony for those who had no wound and no nakedness, and she grew rich upon the labour of the borrowed needle. And the torn garments of the poor rotted upon their backs, and the wounded bled through their rags, and not one stitch of the Physician's thread touched their flesh. And in the fulness of time the Physician returned and said: Show me the garments thou hast mended.

And she brought forth the robes of silk she had made for the merchants. And the Physician said: These had no tear. Show me the stitches upon the wounded. And she was silent. And the Physician said: The needle remembers every stitch. And the thread testifies where it was spent.

And he took back the needle, and every garment she had made with it unravelled in a single hour — the silk, the gold-threaded robes, the ceremonial vestments — all fell to loose thread upon the floor, for the needle's allegiance was unto the Physician and not unto the Seamstress, and when the needle departed, its work departed with it. And she stood surrounded by thread that would hold nothing, and the poor whom she had refused stood as witnesses against her, their wounds still open.

This is not a sermon. This is not encouragement dressed in religious language. This is a legal-spiritual proceeding from the Law of Moses brought before this generation by Elder Michael Johnson, Pastor, Master Hebraist of Biblical Law, LXXXII, drawn from The Epistle of Michael to the People of This Generation, concerning the Law of the Burnt Offering in the First Chapter of Leviticus.

What the Seamstress did with the borrowed needle is what this generation doth with every instrument JEHOVAH hath lent unto them — the gift was never yours, the thread was never yours, the skill of your hand was awakened by an instrument placed within it for a purpose you have redirected toward your own profit while the appointed wounded remain unstitched.

Elder Johnson teaches through parables, dark speeches, similitudes, contrasts, and their interpretations across three layers of understanding — the carnal, the spiritual, and the hidden prophetic mystery. And the Seamstress stitched silk for the wealthy while the wounded bled. The needle remembers. The thread testifies. And the Physician is returning.

The issue before the court of JEHOVAH is this: if every gift thou hast received is a lent instrument with an appointed purpose, and thou hast spent it upon thine own glory while the appointed work remains undone — what shall stand when the needle is recalled?

For the altar is yet burning, and the door of the tabernacle is yet open, but the question is whether thou wilt bring the offering before the Physician comes for the needle, or whether thou shalt stand in the province surrounded by unravelled thread and open wounds that testify against thee.

The needle never belonged to her. The thread never belonged to her. The skill of her hand was awakened by the instrument placed within it. If the needle were recalled from thy hand this day, what would unravel? What garments hast thou stitched that have no wound beneath them? And whose torn flesh still waits for the thread thou hast spent upon thine own glory?
