W. THE END
A Call from GOD OUT OF EGYPT By His SON CHRIST THE Light of Life And this from the Movings of the Holy Power is sent for a VISITATION unto the SEED of GOD in all Professours Teachers and People through this Nation and Land of ENGLAND From a Follower of the Lamb D. W. LONDON Printed in the Year 1662. A Call from GOD out of Egypt c. THe Day is dawned and Light is risen and broken forth of darkness and Immortality and Life is brought again to light and the Day from on high hath springed and is come to visit you who are sitting in darkness and in the region and shadow of death that you may come forth and walk in the Light Whilst you have the Light believe in it that you may become the Children of the Day of God And now is the Spirit of Truth come according to the Promise of the Father in the fulness of time he is come to convince the world of Sin of Righteousness and of Judgment So all must come to the manifestation of the Spirit of Truth within them to be convinced thereby of their Judgment And as all turn to the manifestation of the Light of Life which hath long shined in darkness but the darkness could not comprehend it this Light is given for a Leader and for a Saviour unto all that are saved This is the Gospel that is now to be preached unto all Nations The Day-star is risen and the Light of the Day is come and the Gentiles must be gathered into the Light of the Day of God and this is the Day of gathering wherein all Nations shall flock into the Fold of God's Everlasting Rest as Doves into the windows And blessed are all who hear and obey the Call of the Shepherd of Israel who calleth his Sheep by name and other Sheep have I saith Christ that are not of this Fold and them will I bring also and they shall be of one Fold and have one Shepherd And now is God gathering his Seed from the four winds of the Earth so this is the mighty Day of God's Power wherin he is bringing Deliverance to his Captives by a mighty Hand and by an out-stretched Arm is the Lord God bringing Salvation to the lost Sheep of the house of Israel which he is coming to gather home For all Nations have sinned and come short of the Glory of God and darkness hath reigned from Adam until Moses and all Nations have been vailed under the clouds of the Night of Apostacy although there hath been a profession of God and Christ and a form of Worship hath been set up yet the Power of God hath been wanting and the Life of Jesus Christ hath not been known amongst them such have had the Form of Godliness but have denied the Power of God which maketh able to overcome all things contrary unto God But the reason why the Power of God hath not been known to the overcoming of Sin and Uncleaness amongst Professors they have not been in that in which Power is given from God and so their Faith hath not been wrought by that Power which raised up Jesus from the dead and exalted him on the top of all Principalities and Powers and Spiritual wickedness in high places so the same Eternal Power which brought up Jesus out of the Grave the same Power all must feel to work effectually for the raising up and quickning of the soul which hath been dead and as the Spirit quickeneth and raiseth to Life so cometh the soul to live in God and to be upheld by the same Word of his Power so that Word giveth Life All are to come unto the Word which is near in the heart and in the mouth this is the Word of Faith which we preach the Word which created all things in the beginning And the Word is Light and in it is the life of men the same Word was in the beginning with God and God was the Word and the Word became flesh and dwelt in the sons of men and they beheld the glory of it as the Glory of the only begotten Son of God full of Grace and full of Truth So they that were Saints indeed who were born of the Word who came to be sanctified thereby such came to the purifying by Faith to the washing of Regeneration and to be renewed again by the renewing Power into the Image and likeness of God And all Professors at this day must come unto the Corner-stone to be fitted and squared thereby for the building up of the Spiritual house and every stone of the building of God must be living like unto the Corner-stone and all must come unto the Light of the perfect day that the perfection of Beauty they may come to behold that the Glory of all Nations may shine amongst you So into the Power God is gathering out of all Forms he is bringing into the life and substance of all Professions and this is the day wherein the cry of the Spirit of Life is gone forth into thy Street O England saying to thy Inhabitants Prepare unto the Day of God which is dawned the Light of which is rising over the Nations and the Bridegroom is come therefore prepare a way for this is the Voice that 's gone forth The Bridegroom is come therefore make ready trim your Lamps and come away while there is a door of hope opened stand not out neither tarry behind in Sodom lest you be destroyed in her for God will burn her walls with fire and Babylons destruction is determined and God is come down to confound her many Languages her Builders and Daubers God is bringing all to Truth in the inner parts which is the one true Language which must remain for ever And now is the Bridegroom's Voice heard in the Land of the living amongst the Church of the first-born who are come again out of Egypt to walk in the Light of the Day of God for now hath the Glory of all Nations appeared in the beauty of his Holiness in excellency of his Brightness he is now shining forth unto the Nations and all that are saved must be gathered in unto the Light of the Covenant of Life in which is perfect Peace and Joy and fellowship with the Father is known by all who dwell and walk in the Light and here stands the Unity of the Saints in Light But he that saith he hath fellowship with God and walketh in darkness he is a lyar and the Truth is not in him but if we walk in the Light as he is in the Light then have we fellowship one with another and the Blood of Jesus Christ clenseth from all sin So people must come into that which clenseth which purifieth which purgeth from all dross and this is known in the Faith of Gods Covenant which Faith giveth dominion And here is our victory even our Faith by which we overcome the world But they that are out of this Faith they want power and
such are complainers but he that cometh to the Light and therein doth believe he shall have the Light of Life for unto him is given all Power of the Father to rule and to govern both things in Heaven and things in Earth and all things and every knee shall bow before him and the Day of his Reign is come and his Government is known that it is upon his shoulders So all that profess Christ must come to know his Power to create them anew into his heavenly Image and Divine Majesty and all must know the New-creation of God brought forth in them according to his Promise who saith I will create new Heavens and a new Earth wherein shall dwell Righteousness and Peace and Joy and all must know the shakings of the former Heavens at the passing away of them with their noises and with great trembling and fear and astonishment of heart for the Walls of Jerico and the old Buildings of Babylon must be thundred down by threshing Instruments of the Lord God Almighty whose two-edged Sword is in his hand by which he is threshing and cutting down the Mountains in which there hath been a Worship pretended unto God but now the Day is come wherein our God will not be worshipped in the Mountains neither at Jerusalem but he will now be worshipped in the Spirit and in the Truth and such Worshippers is the Lord our God seeking for the Spirit of Truth is come according to the Promise of the Father which hath also appeared unto us by which we know the Son of God is risen and this we are faithful Witnesses of his Resurrection who is ascended up on high and hath given gifts unto men and therefore we preach Christ and his Resurrection unto all for he is come again with great Power and in great Glory and he hath given us an understanding by which we know him that is true and so the Foundation of God we preach unto the World which is JESUS CHRIST the Son of the living God and no other foundation can any man lay than that which is already laid in people for the Light hath appeared in the hearts of all the Grace of God which bringeth Salvation I say hath appeared unto all men and so it is no new thing to preach the Foundation of God the Light of the World the Life of Men the Son of the living God which hath enlightened every man that cometh into the world so the same Foundation which the Prophets preached who received the Power of God who were anointed with the holy Anointing from above these preached what from God they had received so they preached the Resurrection and the Life and they preached Christ revealed in them and so from the Revelations of God they spake from the movings of his holy Spirit but all before they come unto this must come unto silence and so learn of Christ the husband the head of the Woman which is to keep silence in the Church all flesh ought to be silenc'd but he or she that is born of God who are Members of the same Body which was raised by the eternal Power of the Father such as are Witnesses of his Resurrection in whom he is come and as this Prophet speaketh here the Man speaketh which is Christ in all but all who speak and not from the Power of the living God ought to keep silence in the Church of Christ But now is the Lord God bringing of a People unto the Everlasting Teacher the High-Priest the Leader of Israel the Light the Salvation of God unto the ends of the Earth So the People of the Lord are now come to be taught of the Lord and in Righteousness they come to be established So unto the holy Anointing which is able to teach and to direct in the way to everlasting Life unto the same we direct all people now as the Prophets did in whom the Anointing dwelt plentifully and so let the Word of Life dwell plentifully in all who come to learn of the Father who come to obey the Truth the Gospel of Christ the Power of God to Salvation And now is the Glory of all Nations risen and the Light of the Gentiles is come and the Glory of the Day hath appeared and God is bringing and gathering People into Covenant with himself And this is his Covenant the Light of his Son which hath enlightened All Men and God is bringing People into the Light out of the Darkness into the Glory of the Day For the day is come that it shall be no more said The Lord liveth that brought the Children of Israel out of the Land of Egypt but it shall be said The Lord liveth that brought up the Seed of the house of Israel to reign on the tops of the Mountains And this Day is God exalting the Kingdom of his Son in the hearts of the sons of men and that which we have heard from the beginning that which we have looked upon with our eyes that which our hands have handled of the Word of Life of the same do we declare freely that all may come freely and drink of the Fountain of Life which is now set open for Judah and for Jerusalem and now the day is come wherein the Wells of Salvation overflow and the Springs of the holy Fountain run freely therefore all that are athirst come for the Spirit saith Come and the Bride saith Come for the Feast of fat things is prepared and the Supper of the great King is making ready and the sons and daughters of men are invited to the Marriage of the Lamb which is now come Therefore be awakened ye dead Arise shake off the dust of the Earth and Christ shall give you Life And this is the Day of God's Visitation and of free Love and everlasting Consolation wherein Salvation is founded unto the Inhabitants of the Earth Great is the Sea whose blessed bounds are Love Whose Compassions unto her own doth move Great is his Love that now hath led us home To sit again upon our Father's Throne Great is the Light by which now we do see The Glory of our Father Abrah'ms day Great is the Love by which we overcome Our Vict'ry stands in the beloved Son And in the Love and Fulness of his Power In us is shining in this glorious hour And all must come within unto the Light T'live in that Pow'r which gives the blind their sight Yea all must come to the Eternal Love And by it must be joyn'd to God above And by the same Love all must be led home To sit again on David's holy Throne And in this Day of Light is shining forth God's Cov'nant which is his performed Oath Which is his Promise and is come again For to redeem from sorrow and from pain And to set free all such as do believe Who his Light and his Love come to receive Such by the Truth do come to be set free Who dwell in Pow'r that works effectuallie
