near approaching in the which the Earth should cast forth the Dead that have been buried in the Body of Sin For this end a terrible Blow and Stroke upon the Nations of the Earth will fuddenly come God saith he is wearied out with the Sinful Abomination of this World to which he purposeth shortly to put an end For it hath accordingly been sounded in my inward Ear that the Ends of all Sinful Worlds are by the great Creator of them now determined Upon which saying I queried in Spirit with my LORD in what other Worlds besides this Visible and known World the Evil of Sin did yet remain Whereupon it was replied that such as go out of this World in their gross and unmortified Earthly Life without Clarification obtained through the Water of Regeneration and the Blood of Christ shed in them and so Attoning for Sin and Trespasses which not being entirely done away before they go out of this Life will still abide with them in their nature and quality after Death do pass into such Worlds Stations or Centres which are most agreeable and natural to them and do accordingly bear great varieties and sundry degrees of Punishments proportioned to the Impurity that is left in them For as much as Sin dieth not totally with the Body except while in it there hath been a Dying to it by the Spirit of Righteousness spreading over it So that from hence a Cry doth go forth to all Nations Peoples and Languages to Purge out the corrupt Leaven of Sin that it may not go with them into that World or Worlds where their Lot may be § 3. For it hath been revealed unto me that there are several Regions or Worlds that do receive the Souls of all Degrees and Ranks to the Number Eight The First of these is this Mortal Visible World The Second is the Astral or Aerial World The Third is the Waterish Elementary World And the Fourth is the Fiery Dark World These are all the Worlds where Sinful Lustings may be with Punishments answerable till Sin shall expire therein through the Meditorship and Propitiatian of CHRIST the Almighty Redeemer For into the next Four Worlds nothing of Evil or Sin can enter or in the Inhabitants of them dwell The First of these is the Paradisical World being all Coelestial and a very pleasant State where there is a growing up to higher degrees of Perfection to compleat us for the Kingdom of Mount Sion Where Christ's the Lord's Kingdom is in great Magnificence with all the Angelical Principalities under him and with the Elders as Patriarchs Prophets and Apostles The Third Heavenly World is the Royal and Principal Seat of God the Father with the Eternal Virgin Wisdom and the Seven Spirits This bears the Title of the Great City called the New Jerusalem where the Glassy Sea doth encompass about Then above this is that World called the Still Eternity Out of which were generated all of these Worlds above-mentioned Of all which I must give an account according as I have had them shewed and opened from the deep Centre and Original Being of them I did not know when I published my two last Treatises that of the Enochian Life and the other of the Paradisical Laws that my God would ever have had made use of me any more in this kind the Day of my Life being so far spent and growing to its evening Rest. But my LORD doth still follow me with fresh Revelations and Inkindlings from his own immense Deep which run as a Fiery Stream through me so that I find there is no resisting this all-driving Power by which hidden and unknown Worlds must be made manifest in this last Age of Times § 4. But before I go upon this large and copious Matter it will be proper to Answer a grand Objection that is expected to be cast in upon the Reading hereof Namely Since the Holy Scripture maketh no mention of such Variety of Worlds how shall we give credit hereunto In Answer to this it is given from him who Was and Is and Will be the true Inspirer to open new Volumes of his Mind which are not to be less reputed and credited than the foregoing Scriptures The Old Testament having been appropriated to the Ministration of the Father the New to the Son now the Third Day is come in which the Holy Ghost will have His which will Excel all before it to Unseal and Reveal what yet never was known or understood that will be communicated to and by such as are in an extraordinary manner sanctified and set a part for this holy Function For from this Spirits Day must go forth a New Spring of things yet to be revealed both as to the Present and Future State that hath lain hid within these mentioned Worlds The Account of which I am more particularly to give according as it hath been shown to me from the Spirit of Inspiration For I write here from no other Ground than what the Spirit of CHRIST in the Glass of Wisdom hath presented to mine Inward Eye which pierceth into the Deep of God's Mind And which is no longer to be concealed for the Holy Unction is given for this end to drop his golden Oil which will dissolve all those Seals that have stood so long for an hiding and shutting up of those Mysterious Truths that a Commission is now given to bring forth in order to their being proclaimed and inscribed upon the Pillars and Temple of God's House Whether believed or not it must stand as the Engraving of God's Hand § 5. The First in Order is this Corporeal Visible World in which we now live Where good and evil Births have been produced from Adam and so still shall go on to be procreated till the Numbers shall be finished and filled up that are indeed as to us numberless but numbred by God Here is laid a Foundation for his manifold Wisdom in a wonderful way and manner to be made manifest from this first ground of Natural Generation Which Births after a limited time must pass through the Death of the Elementary Body to such Regions as their Lot will fall to § 6. As for such Ranks of Souls that do dye Unregenerated these having no part in CHRIST and having lived ignorant and as without God in this present World do go to their own direful Place within the Circumference of the Evil Worlds where they will be proved and tried till the general Restitution of all Lapsed Worlds by the Mighty God and Saviour shall come to be effected But of this we will not further now insist having elsewhere more largely declared it § 7. Now therefore beginning from below I proceed to make known to the true Simplified Inquirers what the First and Lowest of these Worlds or Elements is This is entitled the Dark Hellish World and by the only Supream Creator and Judge is allotted a Receptacle for Lucifer and the rest of the Apostatized Angels of that Hierarchy It may be also
