North and South and they held the winde in their hands that it could no longer blow upon the earth or Sea and I said Lord what meaneth these foure men to do thus as they do and my excellent Majestie the Lord of hosts said these foure men are my sons and daughters in whom I have spread my selfe through out the world And by the wind which they hold in their hands that it should blow no more upon the earth or Sea is meant all outward formes or wayes of worship which of one kind or other have bin in all places set up by men but now I have taken their power from them and have given it to the Saints and by my bright appearing in them they shall not suffer any formes or wayes of worship to be set up And again the Lord said behold behold what seest thou now and I beheld a Throne and one that set thereon before whose face heaven and earth fled away and there was no place for them and I said what is meant by this Throne and the Lord said by this Throne is meant my sons and daughters and as you saw one that sat thereon t is I the Lord of hosts who●… rule and reigne in my sons and daughters and they are my temple and house wherein I dwell and by the heaven and earth that fled away is meant all earthly powers Governments and formes and wayes of worship all outward administrations which by the appearing of me the God of Gods shall be consumed and burned up that they may never be more but that I the God of Gods may appear to be their teacher and ordinances and so all and in all and so my Covenant of grace spoken off by Jeremiah my son be fulfilled you shall not need to say know the Lord so they shall know me from the least to the greatest and that other Prophesie ye shall be taught of God And on the seventh day of February The word of the Lord came unto me and said behold behold what seest thou and loe I beheld and there appeared a table and a cloth laid upon it and trenchers and napkins upon it and stooles pulled out for men to fit upon them and one cried with a loud voyce come all ye fowls of the heavens to the supper of the great God and presently there were dishes of all sorts of meat set upon the table and after this I saw three froggs creeping up and down and at length they entred into Kings and Lords and great men and presently they gathered themselves together and their armies and I said Lord what is the meaning of this Table and of the things that are there on and my God said the table is the earth and the things thereon being of all sorts represent all things in the earth and I said what is he that makes the supper and calls all the foules of the heaven to come to it and my eternall God within me said it is I the Lord of hosts that make this supper and invite the foules to it and I said what foules and the Lord said by foules you must understand my sons and daughters who live in the heavenly injoyment of me and they have all sorts of things here to supper I even the flesh of Kings and Lords and mighty men and captaines and of all both small and great bond and free it shewes that the day is now a coming that they shall have the full injoyment of all creatures and so shall inherit all things the flesh of Kings and great men which they eat is the wayes of worships and formes of governments which they have set up their eating of them shewes a final consumation of them as that they shall be consumed and never be more the three froggs that went into the King and great men of the earth are the spirits of devills which is the proud flesh domineering over the spirit of God so ruling in their hearts maks them raise armies of men gather their forces together to resist the appearing or coming of me saith the Lord of hosts And thus through the pride of their hearts and loftinesse of their spirits they gather Gog and Magog together to compasse the Saints round But I said what is meant by Gog and Magog and the Lord said by Gog and Magog is meant all the wisdome power and strength of proud flesh which the great and wise men of the earth have invented as their power on one side and their false wayes of worships and formes of governments on the other side and Lawes which they have made to make the Saints and people submit unto are the great armies that compasse the Saints round or make war with me saith God But you see fire come out of heaven and burne them up so by the bright appearing of me saith the Lord of hosts shall all the enemies of my Saints which have deceived them be consumed and burn●d up as formes and governments and wayes of worships that they may be no longer deceived by them and I beheld the Devil that had deceived them and I did at length see him thrown into the lake of fire that burneth with brimstone there to be tormented with the false Prophet day and night and I said what is meant by the Devil thrown into the fire and my God said by the Devil is meant all the wisdome cunningnesse and craftinesse of proud flesh which hath invented formes and wayes of worships to deceive the people they are all now burnt up and consumed by the fire of my jealousie saith the Lord of hosts and are to be day and night tormented by me That is all proud flesh and false Prophets which is the wisdome of the flesh shall from day to day and from night to night be under my wrath and afraid to looke me in the face and so by my appearing saith the Lord of hosts who am a consuming fire shall they be tormented who all flesh and filthinesse the power and wisdome of men Gog and Magog that I the Lord of hosts may be all in all For this lake of fire is my w●ath saith God into which I have judged and sentenced proud flesh that opposes me and throwne it that so I may consume proud flesh and bring it to nothing And againe the Word of the Lord came unto me saying what seest thou now and I looked and presently I saw a great City which to me did appear to be very gallant as if there were none like it and I said Lord what meaneth this City or what City is this and my Eternall God within me said this great City is spirituall Sodom and Egypt where the Son of God was crucified and I said Christ was crucified at Jerusalem though he was saith the Lord of hosts put to death by the Jewes yet he was also crucified in Sodome and Egypt that is the Lawes and formes and customes of the Jewes is Sodome and Egypt because their Lawes and formes did slay
