You are got into the last dayes yea unto the last dayes of the last dayes that is into the half time Daniel spake of and that half time is almost out too Oh world and therefore a spirituall judgment is near to be revealed to us all And the words that Christ hath spoken shall judge us all that is God will open the eye of the understanding of all by his spirituall light by the which light you shall know and see what you did reject and what you have done in rejecting and also what Christ said and how you all have answered him again and also how you have lived and you shall need no other Judge then the light of God which shall shine upon your understanding and consciences for that shall give you light into all your wayes in the which ye have walked and this your enlightned understanding and convinced consciences shall condemne you all that is all flesh There is a mysterie John 8. 9. And they that heard it being convinced in their consciences went out one by one their consciences bearing witness again Romans 2. 15. Their consciences also bearing witness and their thoughts the meane while either accusing or excusing and a convinced conscience either of good or bad lyeth in the understanding being enlightned your understanding and consciences oh Saints and worldlings is all the book that God needs to use in the day of his spirituall judging of you and behold he is coming to Judgment and every eye shall see by this light of God every one shall be saved that have part in the first resurrection and by the same light every one shall be destroyed that have not part in him so that this light of God will bring salvation and destruction both at one time unto the two hoasts that stand at the right and left hand of God Isa 33. 4 5. The sinners in Sion are afraid fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites and who among us shall dwell with devouring fire reade one of the next verses and it tels you who shall and who shall not the Lord is come and coming still for to destroy and yet to save and that 's the reason why all flesh doth so fear Ezek. 39. 21. I will set my glory among the heathen and all the heathen shall see my Judgments that I have executed and my hand that I have laid upon them Isa 66. 14. The hand of the Lord shall be known towards his servants and his judgments towards his enemies ye shall not only have judgment but see the judgment of the Lord upon you yea eat your own flesh and drink your own blood and the Lord will come for to open your eyes for to see it And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together Isa 40. 5. And again that they may see know and understand together that the hand of the Lord hath done this you shall see the Lord oh ye nations ere long in his Saints with great power for to consume thee oh world and all that is in it that will be the next dispensation of God after the cloudy Sion stand up now and rejoyce for thou hast almost received double for all thy sins Isaiah 40. 2. Therefore comfort thy self in thy God for my King is very near bringing double joy double peace double rest and double glory with a double spirituall power Isaiah 61. 7. And all shall be thine and therefore gather to thee And the reason is because the Lord will glorifie the house of his glory and all shall call thee the City of the Lord the Sion of the holy one of Israel for the Lord will give thee such a spirituall power that by that power thou shalt consume all the wicked in thee so that no oppressor shall passe through thee any more Zach. 9. 8. And I will encamp about my house because of the Army and because of him that passeth by and because of him that returneth and no oppressor shall pass through thee any more for now have I seen with my eyes this is a mystery the light of God is a consuming and a destroying light Isaiah 11. 4. Hear oh world your fall is begun for your Prince that is your leader is wounded by the light of God and so wounded that he bleeds all the way he goes and so he will untill he hath bled himself to death for the wound that is given him is an uncurable wound for it is given him by a mighty Prince called the Lion of the Tribe of Judah Sions King and your terrible Judge and from this arises all your fear and you know it not Oh who shall stand before this great Judge when he cometh out of Clouds into light to judge with light and glory why this the Lord is coming near withall and the day of the Lords light will be the day of the Lords dividing Joel 3. 14. Or the day of the Lords great separating not only a dividing or separating the powers of evill men far from you oh Saints or you from them but a dividing or separating two ancient warriers flesh and Spirit so that you shall never learn war more Why oh soul thou shalt never learn war more for the Lord who is thy King will conquer all thy inside enemies as well as thy outside enemies and there shall be a great valley between ye both and that is the reason why he comes with his glorious light for to destroy all and then for to make known all to you Israel thou hast been a long time under a vaile the which vaile so covered thy fathers glory that ye could not see nor yet discern him but now ye shall very suddenly for it is neer taking away Isaiah 25. 7.
