they may be Installed in that Dominion and Power where Mortality shall not supplant them of a true and unfadeable Felicity For know there is a new time approaching such as never was for the Kingdom and Dominion of Christ in Power and Authority has never yet had any establishment upon the Earth nor could indeed because this long Life and Age was not yet to be For by this length of Days there will be time given for the finishing Transgression and Sin and bringing in that perfection of Righteousness that shall have no end As there was folly in not improving that long State of Life by those before the Flood for which end God allow'd it them to try if they would recover their Angelical and Paradisical State and remove the Curse from the Earth for which end his Spirit did strive with them which being resisted God shortned their Days So now the eternal Wisdom of God provokes for the recovery of that lapsed Age again that a second proving may be made in this last Age of the World having now the assistance of the Spirit of Christ which shall now be poured forth as a Flood of Flaming Love to burn away all the compacted Matter and Mould of the Earthly Image so as in this day it shall be said Christ lives and walks upon the Earth in and among this selected Number upon whose Shoulders the Government of his Kingdom is to rest For the Spirit of God and of his Glorious Power shall rest upon them so evidently that all shall be forced to acknowledge that these are the Anointed ones as bearing the Royal Priestly Mark of their God and King For upon them the Heavenly Power shall descend for the Heavens that have been shut so long shall now open stand for a free recourse to our mighty Redeemers Princely Court that from that upper Kingdom Orders and Commissions may be brought down for the management of these lower Regions that they may run parallel with what is transacted among the Saints in the higher With whom in this State there will be a great Freedom and Familiarity so that a Council and Senate both of the higher and lower Court shall meet to determine what high Miraculous works shall be expedient to be wrought § XXXV Now it is already so far made manifest that whereas the confusion of Languages was a great Iudgment and Witness of God's displeasure against that Age of Time So that it caused a scattering and loss of thé one pure Language of Nature Which now in this new State and Kingdom will be restored again About which I had some inquiry in the Spirit of my mind how and by what means the Unity of Speech might be opned again for as it is in Mount-Sión above where Christ Reigns personally so it must be here on Earth where he is now to set his Reign ' up Spiritually They all that are above do Harmonize together in the pure Language of Nature And thus it is expedient that it should be in Mount-Sion here below For it was said this Gift should come upon such as were Principal Stones and Builders of that new Ierusalem the City wherein the Reign of the mighty God and King may begin § XXXVI While I was considering this thing there was a sudden opening of the Temple-Glory in the Heavens Which drew away my Spirit thereunto Where I did see in the Hand of a bright Body the Figure of a Heart clear as Crystal with Strings or Veins of Gold in the midst of which there was fixed a flaming Root from whence branched out Tongues as so many divided Flames by which I was answered that according to this figurative Representation it might be given me to understand that the Root of pure Speech must proceed from the pure Heart of the Tri-une Deity and so formed into Christ the Essential Word it self first going forth in pure Cogitation without sound or Voice whereby in this internal stillness God discourses with the Soul and the Soul with God out of the Flaming Centre of this Tri-une Heart and from whence it may proceed and form it self into outward Organical Speech Which will carry Tućh a fiery flaming Power and Efficacy as shall beget the same Native Language in others and open the Centres that have been shut up them that is to be understood of those that prepared and qualified to receive it through the Faith and expectation of these Gifts And it was said further when ye see this great gift put forth it will be a certain sign that the gathering in of all Nations from far will be to the beholding and admiring of the first appearance of Christ in his Kingdom and Reign Through these impregnable and extraordinary Gifts the Holy Ghost will be made apparently manifest that he is return'd in order to restore and Build up what has been laid Wast and Desolate here upon the Earth § XXXVII The next Gift that is to accompany this Blessed day is to find out and open the All-healing Pool where the Corrupt and Putrifactious Matter in the Body Elementary may through the continual rising Spring of this Water of Life receive Clarifying and Healing And where-ever these Waters of the Sanctuary do rise there every thing shall be healed and maintain'd in Life according to that Scripture Ezek. 47. 9. So that according to the long date of Life designed for this State this River for Life must never cease to run through the Corporeal Forms And whereas in the first appearances of this gift of healing in the Elijah Spirit as a Type fore-runing Christ and in the following Century of the Apostles it was appropriated to them to convey vertue out of themselves for healing which they could not command at all times for then they would have conquer'd all Sickness and Death in themselves But when this mighty Gift shall be restored again it shall go on to fixation and Conquest of all Maladies For the great evil of Sin will be taken out of the way and so the suffering must cease For the Inhabitants that live in this new planted Region shall not complain they are Sick For they shall be forgiven their Iniquity Isa. 33. 24. So that where Sin is taken out of the way Sorrow and the Curse which are the product of it must needs cease Also Zech. 3. 8 9 10. For behold I will bring forth my Servant the Branch c. And I will remove the Iniquity of that Land in one Day In that day saith the Lord shall ye call every Man his Neighbour under the Vine and under the Fig-tree For if there should not be an Antidotal Medicine provided against all Corruptibility it would be rather a Punishment than a Pleasure to live in such a Body as should not be free from Infirmities whereupon it was made manifest to be that each one who should be counted worthy to be numbered among the first Fruits of the Resurrection-State shall be as so many Trees of Life that shall
