THE Angels Oath Time is no longer The KINGDOMS of this WORLD are become the KINGDOMS of our Lord and of his Christ and he shall Reign for ever and ever Revel 10. 6. and 11 15. A PROPHECY FROM Mr. Mason's People AT WATER-STRATFORD London Printed for the Author 1694. The Testimony of Valentine Evans WO to London Wo to England Thou art that Servant which hath known thy Masters Will but hath not done it but now thou shalt be beaten with many stripes Oh! how Mercifully hath GOD dealt with thee by warning thee with Judgments and wooing thee with Mercies and thou hast been favoured highly in this respect for the Revelation of Jesus Christ hath been given out to us and the Messenger of Christ's Kingdom hath been sent to us and his way is prepared I Witness the Midnight-Cry was a Message from GOD. I declare the Two Witnesses was a Message from God I declare likewise in the Name of GOD that the gathering of us to this place was the Holy Will and Command of God A few days after we were gathered I Witness the Person of the Blessed Son of GOD appeared in this place to his Servant but you have scoffed and despised and forged Lies and called these things Delusions But what will you do now the Lord sends you word by this fellow Servant from the Oath of Jesus Christ That there is Time no longer A Word to you Wise Virgins you that love the Lord Jesus Christ in Sincerity you that have spoke or acted against these things you are guilty with the Foolish Virgins and have exposed your selves to Wrath but Blessed be God you are not under the Law but under Grace but you must apply your selves to the Blood of Christ and repent for what you have said thought or done against these things for GOD is a great God and you will Tremble for a time for slighting these things Isa 35. 3 4. strengthen ye the weak hands and comfort the feeble knees say to them that are of a fearful heart Be strong fear not Behold your God will come with Vengeance even God with a Recompence he will come and save you but it must be in his own way and that is in this place which the Lord hath called Zion where the Lord hath taken possession in his Kingdom Isa 25. 9. And it shall be said in that day Lo this is our God we have waited for him and he will save us this is the Lord we have waited for him we will be glad and rejoyce in his salvation Vers 10. For in this Mountain shall the hand of the Lord rest It is said so this day in this Mountain blessed be God Where the Body is there the Eagles shall be gathered together Luk. 17. 37. And now 't is our Duty to look for the breaking forth of these things visibly with an immediate expectation The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all you that love Him in sincerity Amen The Testimony of Thomas Harris I Bear Witness to you in the Name of GOD That this Servant that Writes to you this Little Book is one of the Anointed Ones that stood by the GOD of the whole Earth Zech. 4. 14. and by the Will and Appointment of GOD Almighty this Servant did bear Record to the Word of GOD and to the Testimony of Jesus Christ for Two Years together Rev. 1. 2. and now Blessed is he that hath read and they that have heard the Words of the Prophecy of this Book and I declare in the Name of GOD that this Book that comes to you is the open Book out of Christ's Hand Rev. 10. 2. and it is turned into Bitterness in the Bowels of this Nation Lamentations Mournings and Woe And now the LORD comes like a Refiner's Fire and like Fuller's Soap But now Blessed are all they that put their Trust in CHRIST Revelations 10. 6. and 11. 15. Time is no longer The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ and he shall reign for ever and ever IT is the Will and Pleasure of God that his dealings to this poor miserable Nation should be given an Account of for a Warning and Witness to all round about that they take heed that they do not dally and triffle with the Word of God and the Testimony of Jesus Christ but Fear and Tremble before a Crowned Solomon and give Glory to him for the hour of his Judgment is come Worship that God that hath made the new Heavens and the new Earth Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron thou shalt dash them in pieces like a Potters vessel Be wise now therefore O ye kings be instructed ye judges of the earth Serve the Lord with fear and rejoice with trembling Kiss the son lest he be angry and ye perish from the way when his wrath is kindled but a little blessed are all they that put their trust in him Psal 2. 9 10 11 12. Now go write it before them in a table and note it in a book that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever That this is a rebellious people lying children that will not hear the law of the Lord Which say to the seers See not and to the prophets Prophesy not unto us right things speak unto us smooth things prophesy deceits Get you out of the way turn aside out of the path cause the holy one of Israel to cease from before us Isa 30. 8 9 10 11. Sad and woful Accounts to be given up what entertainment the Word of God and the Testimony of our Lord Jesus Christ met with that was first given forth in England we witness the Trumpet was sounded several Years of the Coming and Kingdom of our Lord but they all slumbered and slept but they was told again and again how often that Word was commanded in the Scripture Watch and that the day was come God commanded every one to it The Lord threatens to cut them down for he had looked for Fruit Year after Year but found none loth was he to strike tryes them one Year more but swares Time shall be no longer but whilst the Mistery of God was finished the Lord was then proclaimed He 's brought to the ancient of days And there was given him a Kingdom and Glory that all Nations People and Languages should serve him Dan. 7. 13 14. The many Crowns was now set upon his head Rev. 19. 12. He was proclaimed to the ends of the Earth Zions God now reigns The Earth saw and trembled the Heavens were all on Flames of Fire whilst dreadful Thundrings and Lightnings proclaim our King but here is none regard The Trumpets blew in the Ears of the dead it was declared That Christ was on his great white Throne he finds all old but makes all new The Lord calls bring in those poor Worms let them bear witness in that day The deaf heard the words of the Book and the Eyes

of the blind were opened The Lord plants the Heavens lays the Foundation of the Earth calls Zion brings in the ends of the Earth The Beast is given to the burning flame he lays hold on the Dragon that old Serpent and binds him for 1000 Years Thus things went on until the glorious Mistery of God was finished and the voice came from the Throne out of the Temple of heaven saying It is done Rev. 16. 17. Often then it was declared in the Name of God It is done It is fulfilled but they would not believe Then was Philadelphia called in to bare witness what she had seen done she witnessed that the Heavens were planted and the Foundations of the Earth laid for she saw the new Heavens and the new Earth she witnesseth the New Covenant for Zion for she saw the new Jerusalem coming down from God out of heaven prepared as a bride adorned for her husband She attests in the Name of God the hearing of that mighty Voice The tabernacle of God is with men She must bear witness to the Words of the Prophecy of the Book and say as God saith There is no more sorrow death nor pain for the former things are past He hath sate on his throne and made all new And he said unto me Write for these words are true and faithful And he said unto me It is done And this day is this Scripture fulfilled in your Ears And he hath given the waters of life and hath replenished every sorrowful Soul that hath waited for him they have Overcome and are on the Sea of Glass with the Harps of God and they sing the Song of Moses and the Lamb. But the fearful and unbelieving and the abominable and the murderers and whoremongers and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars have their part in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone which is the second death Rev. 21. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8. The Lord commands the Witness to go on another comes and says I saw an angel ascending from the east having the seals of the living God And he sealed the servants of our God on their forehead Rev. 7. 2 3. Another Witness was brought that he hath measured the temple and the altar and them that worship therein But the outward court is given unto the Gentiles Rev. 11. 1 2. He hath opened his Seals sounded his Trumpets poured out his Vials and blessed all his Churches Thus the Witness went on from day to day until all Accounts was taken and given in Philadelphia sometimes trembling and quaking before the Majesty of Heaven often acknowledging what an awful solemn thing it was to bear witness to the Word of God and Testimony of Jesus Christ other times astonished and amazed to think that Mistery the Angels desire to pry into should ever be broken up among a few poor Worms The Lord declares That he hath finished the heavens and the Earth and all the hosts thereof as in the first Creation All was done by his Word so now it is again not by Might nor by Power but by my spirit saith the Lord of hosts Zech. 4. 6. And the Witness of the two anointed ones was the Witness of God himself Now who durst have denied the sound of the seventh Angel when God had called in a Witness that these Misteries were finished or that this was the Angel that was to be sent to shew the things that must be done in a short time When Scripture Witness was brought in that all these things are done it was a very improbable thing that one whose Unction from the Holy One for the Work of the Ministry had been sealed for so many Years with the Conversion of so many Souls should at last deceive the World and delude poor Souls but as for those poor Creatures that bear witness to these things they were not suspected of that being looked upon as not capable to delude or deceive others but that they were deluded themselves It is possible had it been things of another nature you might have brought them off by telling them that their bodily Eyes had deceived them and all their Senses were deluded But if you come to deal with them about the Word of God and Testimony of Jesus you might as well pull down the Sun and darken the World as ever prevail against it for it is the Testimony of that God which is infallible therefore infinitely impossible that ever any thing that is offered against it should stand it will be the utter undoing of all them that shall oppose it for tho' these be never such poor weak contemptable Creatures yet what they witness to is the Word of God and Testimony of Jesus and there is no more to be said Evidence having been given That the mistery of God is finished the mighty Angel he comes down with a rainbow on his head and a little book open in his hand and swares by him that lives for ever and ever Time is no longer Come away Philadelphia and own his Kingly Dignity and Honour they had not been long dancing before the Ark ere the Lord appeared to his Servant this he owns before many Witnesses warns them once more to get Oyl others to go home and trim their Lamps they have no time to spare they should have Watched that God that hath appeared in this place will quickly appear to you all but what do these Wretches do but go and make all the hast and speed they can to turn these things into foolish ridiculous Stories to be cry'd up and down the Streets and so far are they from any fear or concern upon them at such a wonderful time as this is that they make merry and sport themselves at the Word of God and Revelation of Jesus It would make a Christian's Heart tremble to think what a God-daring Generation the Earth groans under And now the Lord comes like a Lyon rends and tears the very cauls of their hearts they would take no Warning till they were dashed in pieces but all the Wit and Art they have must be laid together to make the Word of God and Revelation of Jesus the Scorn and Derision of the whole Nation without any stop being put to these things there was none to do it The Lord sought but for a Man to stand in the gap to make up the hedge that he should not destroy the Land but he finds none good and bad all give in their Verdicts that the Word of God and Testimony of Jesus Christ was a Delusion and so here is an end of all these things until God calls for another Account But we do attest in the Name of the Eternal God That the sounding of the quick and sudden Coming of our Lord and Saviour was the sound of the seventh Angel and God hath given infallible Proof and Witness for the Mistery of God is finished as he declared it to his Servants and as it was declared when the Trumpet first began to sound

Isa 24. 3. but the dreadful Sentences of his Judgments are now to be executed on a sinful God-daring Generation that scorned to take any Warning till Himself should come and take Vengeance on them Yet blessed be his glorious Name there is a Rainbow round about his Throne and when he shall bring a Cloud and cover the Earth the Bow shall be seen in the Cloud and he will remember the Everlasting Covenant Glory to the Righteous we have a full assurance of Faith we shall see an innumerable Company of all Kindreds People Tongues and Nations with white Robes and Palms in their hands crying Salvation to him that sits on the throne and to the lamb for ever and ever And for all these things Blessing Glory Wisdom Honour and Might be unto our God for ever and ever Laws Statutes and Judgments to the Church of Philadelphia THAT that I am to Witness to you now is that which was declared by the Lord's Servant whilst the Mystery of God was finished and witnessed by the Church of Philadelphia was the Laws Statutes and Judgments of the Eternal God that stand fast for ever and ever throughout all Generations And when the Word came forth in the Father's Season He that sits on the throne saith behold I make all things new The Lord pointed me to Witness to it and write it down and gave it to his Servant 't is gone forth in Righteousness and shall return no more till it hath formed the new heaven and the earth You will say How should I know that that Word was gone forth in Righteousness Alas I knew no more than a stock or a stone but the Lord made me know that it was the Word of God and the Testimony of Jesus and that I must bear witness to it and I could have no ease in my Conscience till I had done it and again when the heavens were planted and the foundations of the earth laid and he said to Zion thou art my people That Lord sent me to bear witness I saw the new heaven and the new earth and he had sworn in my heat time should be no longer The day is come he makes a new covenant with the house of Israel Jer. 31. 31. These Mysteries were as far above the reach of such a poor Worm as I as the Heavens are above the Earth for when I was so wrapt up in the sight of the new heavens and the new earth I could not forbear saying as I went up and down I see a new heaven and a new earth it was as wonderful to me when I heard those Words Rev. 21. as if I had never known there had been any such Scripture therefore God forbid that you should think there was any thing in the Creature in these things I did also about this time several times here Voices and they were those Voices in Revelations and I knew when I heard it it was the Voice of God differing from all other that ever I heard in all my life-time and when-ever I heard a Voice or saw a Vision or bore witness to any of the Words of the Prophecy of that Book I was so awed with it that I durst never entertain a thought ever any more against it it became a perpetual law in my Soul and when the Blessing was pronounced upon the Church of Philadelphia in a Ministerial way the Lord sent me to bear witness to it Rev. 1. 3. Blessed is he that readeth and they that hear the word of the prophecy of this book and he had declared the Downfall of Babylon and the chaining of Satan the Lord made us see it done in an Angelical way and so bare witness to it according to these words Rev. 20. 1. I saw an angel come down from heaven having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand and he laid hold on the dragon that old serpent called the devil and satan and bound him for a 1000 years Rev. 18. I saw another angel come down from heaven and he cryed mightily with a strong voice saying Babylon the great is fallen is fallen Again when the seventh Angel had poured out his Vial into the Air a great voice came out of the temple of heaven from the throne saying It is done enter Philadelphia in the Name of the Father Son and Holy-Ghost the Lord sent me to bear Record to the Word of God and to the Testimony of Jesus Christ That we are now entered into the Paradice where there is no more curse but the Throne of God and of the Lamb are in it and his servants shall serve him and they shall see his face and his name shall be in their foreheads and there shall be no night there and they need no candle neither the light of the son for the Lord God gives them light and they shall reign for ever and ever Some of these things I am forced to bear witness too that all the World may know that the Words of the Kingdom are no cunning devised Fables when our Blessed Lord and Saviour came and wrought those Miracles that never Man did yet they would not believe but said He cast out devils by Beelzebub the prince of devils What a dreadful Sentence he passed on them therefore said he All manner of sins and blasphemies shall be forgiven but the blasphemy of the Holy-Ghost shall never be forgiven You must think God will stand up for his great Honour and Name and call all nations together Who amongst them can declare this Isa 43. 9. Could all the Art in Heaven and Earth have caused one of these Voices to have been heard or Visions to be seen or one Word of the Prophecy of this Book to have been kept without the omnipotent power of God Indeed we might have seen these things with our bodily Eyes when they had been done to our outward Senses but to see them with Christ's seven Eyes which are upon the Stone that can be attributed to none but God Himself Can you think without a Commission from God any under the Copes of Heaven durst be so audacious as to take his Sacred Name into their Mouth and come and witness and affirm before all the World The keeping of the sayings of the prophecy of this book when such a dreadful Sentence is passed on them That shall add to these things Rev. 22. 18. but so great and vast are these Misteries above the comprehension of Men and Angels no Word can utter or Tongue express what is here delivered is but a short account of some few particular things to be a Testimony to you of the fulfilling of the whole Book but you must look to it for what comes to you is the Word of God and Testimony of Jesus Christ Object But we look for visible sensible things Answer That we are bound in Conscience because of this Word every moment to expect the great change that comes on the whole world but yet if the Word of God
