compleated For such Invincible Powers will go forth as shall draw to them the scattered Flocks and gather them into one Fold out of all Nations and Languages and Kindreds whose Worship shall consist in nothing but in pure Light Life and Spirit without any degree of Mixture whereby all outward Formalities must fly away when God shall thus come to pitch his Tabernacle in Man And the Ark of his Testimony will so open it self that Dagon must fall before it Nothing but the pure Fire and Air from the Holy Ghost shall be the Or●ans through which God will speak for●h his Mind whereby all shall be taught of God as being only filled wi●h God Which Word of his Speaking through them will beget a New and Heavenly Generation that will multiply it self over the Face of the whole Earth and make the old hereby to vanish and sink away This is the Bridal Church that Christ will make ready for his Appearance and until this be accomplish'd and effected he cannot come down in his Visible and Personal Glory for the Solemnizing of this Eternal Marriage which will be the Joy and Praise not only of the Earth but also of the Heavens which shall both be united as into One and the Militant Church and the Triumphant be no longer● twain § 47. In order ●o this the Angel-M●ssengers are gone forth to proclaim That this Day is upon the World dawning and that the Virgin Wisdom ha●h her Representatives upon the Earth that do ●ravail in the greatness of the Godhead strength for the bringing forth these mighty Bi●ths that shall rule and subdue all Nations under them that so the Kingdoms of this World may become one all-pure and powerful Kingdom in which Christ with his Bride shall rule and reig● in the Father's Glory and Might § 48 After this there was heard from Heaven the Sounds of a joyful Acclamation pronouncing Endless Joys Powers Glory and Blessing to such as should be counted worthy to be the First Fruits of this New Ierusalem Bride Now what have we more to say but that the Bride and Spirit in us do acquiesce to this gracious Invitation and Call Even so COME LORD IESVS A Further Manifestation Concerning this Virgin Philadelphian Church Given upon New-Years-Day in this Pres●nt Year MDCXCVI BEING A Second Message to the Philadelphian Society and a Touchstone to the Gathered Churches Ian. 1. 1696. § 1. UPon the Turn of the Year I was waiting and Praying having such a Pray●r given me that was very marvellous whence the Virgin order'd her Angel to write it down as a Memo●i●l which the Great High-Priest pres●nted with burning Ince●s● to th● Supream Majesty giving ●ssurance that it should be answer'd according to all that was Pray'd for not only upon my own account but upon that of as many as I had made request for And in particular praying that the same Spring of Supplication and Prayer might open in you and that all the Prophesies and Promises running upon the Melchizedeck Line might have their Accomplishment it was Answer'd so it should be For as the Father had given you to Him that you might be One with Him as He was with the Father so should the same Spirit rest upon you to bring you forth Conquerors ●hrough all Vicissitudes and Changes that should happen in Time and that this present Year should be the Beginning of a New Race of Life wherefore so excited you are to run as to win the Prize that has been waited for § 2. Then Virgin Wisdom said unto her Representative There is a Path that ye have not yet descried nor any Vultures Eye discern'd which I will bring you into So taking me by the Hand she led me into it whereupon I requested that some of my Spiritual Offspring might also be taken to walk with her Representative Then having a Golden Key she open'd with it a two-leaved Gate looking like a transparent Amber Which being unlock'd it appear'd to be a Path all of golden Oil Then said she Put off your Shoes for this is Holy Ground none that tread the common and broad Way of this Worldly Principle can set their Foot here But unto you it shall be given thus to dip your Feet in Oil where Fatness and all flou●ishing Life shall in you spring It was ●hen shewed to me that on each side of this Walk were Rows of Olive-Trees and to every Tree was an Angel to guard the Way having all Flaming Swords in their Hands and the Olives continually dropped the same golden Oil. So we we●● led on till we came to a mighty Mountain which was said to be the Top Glory of all Mountains and its consistency or matter appear'd to be of the same glorious Oily Substance Upon this Mountain there did appear the Glorified Person of the Lord and with ●●m stood a Virgin Woman cloathed with the Sun having the twelve Stars on her Head according to the Description in the Revelations whom he held in his Hand as his Bride And a Voice was heard to be utter'd This is my Spouse Then I beheld to be generated from them a multitude of Stones of Fire which as they came forth were all changed into Angelical Figures like to the Lord himself The Majesty of the Father did at the same time● as in a wonderful Globe of Glory overshadow the Bridegroom and his Bride Then a Voice said Thus shall the Paradis●cal Ea●th be replenished with Virgin Wisdom's Ang●lical Offspring which shall be called the Church of the First-born and be named IEHOVAH SHAMMAH The Lord of Righteousness is their Cloathing After this Wisdom said to her Representative and to her Followers Ye must pass into this Mountain and come forth tinctured with the Glance of this D●ified Mountain so shall ye become capable of the same Glorification with these Then Wisdom's Representative with one known by the Name of Cyrus that was highly favoured and given to be as a chief Pillar of Support to this New Modelled Virgin Church that has been so long prophesied of and with the rest passed into the Mount and came out tinged according to the Q●ality and Property of it as new Generated Angelical Figures Wisdom then said to her Representative Now hast thou seen the Virgin Church that is not only Glorious within but also without being clear as the Sun fair as the Moon and terrible as an Army with Banners This is the Mountain of the Lord's House which shall be established for Glory and Magnificency over the whole Earth At the Conclusion of which a mighty shout was heard in the Heavens and the Angels sounded their Trumpets rejoycing that the Marriage of the Lamb was come and the Bride was glorified with the self same Glory as Himself § 3. And it was said unto me Seal not up this Vision for the time is approaching n●ar for its Fullfiling But stand you and all your Fellow-waiters that are looking for this blessed Hour and Glorious Appearance of this Nuptial Day in

Person it should go forth with such an Eminent Breath of Power as daily added to it should be Spirits of like Virgin Purity preparing for those grea● Degrees of Sion's Glory Who still look forward after the utmost Redemption out of all that Sorrow and Distress which the Mortal Image is liable to For as the divine Sense shall clear up in them to make them see and feel under what heavy Oppression they are being subjected to the Pharaoh-Spirit of this World which will be throwing heavy weights and imposing servile Works upon them which suffered must be and will be so for a while to provoke and draw out their Cries to the most holy and great High-Priest that so he may be a Saviour of these his seperated Ones after a most miraculous way For therefore he will yet now again as in the days of old shew forth his great Wonders His mighty Hand must be lifted up on high to bring them out of Egypt that figured out this Servile Creation under which each one of Abraham's Seed doth groan A Prophet will the Most High yet raise up who shall deliv●r his People from all Babylonish Charms by meer force of Spiritual Arms and release them from the Tyranny of that Dark Prince who doth visibly reign all over the World And how must this be b●t by the Standard of the Spirit that will in a Moses-like Figure stretch forth the Royal Scepter of an everlasting Throne-Might For the Seed of Abraham must still expect to be under Oppression throughout every Age until the Soveraignty of the Holy Ghost come to be annexed to some holy Souls by which they may be enabled to do the Wonders of IEHOVAH in the sight of their Exactors and Oppressors For by no other way can the Lamb of God set free his chosen Flock whom he hath purchased with his Blood but by raising all the Powers of a God which may go forth in the Birth of That which shall shake the ●ron-Rod over all N●tions Then will the Reign of CHRIST have its beginning in Spirit For before his own distinct and Personal Appearance his Birth of Power will be first brought forth in some chosen Vessel or Vessels as M●ses Ioshua and Aaron were Types anointed to be Heads and Leaders unto the rest to bring them into the Promised Land So likewise the Lord hath expresly revealed and shewn to me That there shall again be raised up Head-Powers such as are to be of great Eminency and Favour with the Trinity whose Dread and Fear shall fall upon all Nations because of the mighty Acting Power of the Holy Ghost which shall rest upon them whereby they shall make way for the Ransomed Ones to return with Joy unto Mount Sion Where the New and Living Priesthood shall according to the Covenant and Law of the Spirit of Life be offic●ously and effectually performed after a much different manner then the First All Similitudes being too short to reach the Essential Top and highest Degree wh●ch shall be acted by holy and perfect Spirits within the Walls of the New Ierusalem when it comes down upon the Earth and by them be offered up as a most perfect Sacrifice in the New Temple § 19. For it was given me to understand and know in very Truth that such an holy Order of Priests should be Anointed that was to be what the great High-Priest was in this World Holy Perfect without Guile wholly Born again of a pure Spiritual Nativity without Sin Even such as our Lord might not be ashamed to own as his Priestly Brotherhood He only having the Preeminence of being Anointed with a double Degree yet the Lower Order is to be without Sin that so there may be no exception but all freedom to ascend up to the holy ●phere where God himself will ●ppear in an everlasting Taber●acle to talk and give forth his Mind freely unto such as do draw near to him in a Priestly Spirit and Body For the Spirit which hath opened these Secrets did declare that it was expedient 〈◊〉 thus upon this account it should be § 20. First because our Head Prince could not yet descend for that his Bride the Church was not yet ready neither any Temple-Body as yet prepared that is able to bear the Glory of his Personality As God therefore took of the Spirit of Moses and caused it to rest upon Seventy chosen out to bear the Burthen with Moses So verily and in like manner will the same Spirit of our Lord IESVS be given out to Qualifie and Furnish for that high Degree of Spiritu● Government Which will be pu● upon some that yet are in a Mor●tal Figure until another Body be put on them after a Priestly Order Which will be given when they are called up to enter into the most Holy Place of Purity When Power also w●●● given to them proportionable to that State into which they are called and to the State of that Virgin and Glorious Church which they are chosen and Redeemed from among Men to bear up and support in the Latter Day upon the Earth § 21. Secondly Now because Christ himself is in the Heavens to remain till such a Perfect Church be brought up as hath all those Characters and Marks that the Hundred Forty and Four Thousand are to have He will ●ctuate some by the Ghostly ●ower in an Extraordinary Man●er to Officiate as if he himself ●ere upon the Earth This is ●he Great Design that is Now ●ertainly on foot to bind the Mi●istration of the Spirit withal ●or what else in this unbelieving Age will be of Force or Preva●ency but a Power that may work according to Omnipoten●y Which may bear down all ●hat would still keep up the Formality of Things that is to ●e laid desolate § 22. All Oblations and Sacrifices which are weak and im●erfect must have their Cessa●ion For Pure Worshippers all composed of Life Power and Spirit must now wait upon the Altar for free Entrance into the most Holy Court. For which ●igh and signal Endowments we are pressed to wait that so no going out may be till we be richly furnished with every Gift to credit our High-Priest withal who hath made himself a Debtor to us for it and as we are his Remembrancers he will stand Charged to make full Payment unto us of these Great Things § 23. This only required is on our part to suffer the Spirit of Burning to do upon us the Refining Work fanning us with his Fiery Breath until all be Pure and Clean. For this Burning and Perfuming Oil of the Holy Ghost searching every part within us is the true Consecration for the Everlasting Priesthood that so we may come near to the Holy Being and be acceptable Worshippers before his Throne to Mediate for all these adorning Powers and Gifts that may demonstrate we are in Election to be the Beginning of that Priestly Church that is coming out of the Wilderness like to Pillars of Smoak and Flames of Fire
