A34984	An alarum sounded in the borders of spiritual Egypt vvhich shall be heard in Babylon, and astonish the inhabitants of the defiled and polluted habitations of the earth. And the power of the Prince of Darkness called into question; and he himself examin'd by the truth, how he came to raign over mankind; and how long his time shall be, till he comes to be cast out of his dominion, and the creature be deliver'd from under his tyranny; to serve God in spirit and in truth, as Christ, the prince of peace, has order'd them. Also the number of him whom the world hath wonder'd after, found out; and demonstrated to be near at an end: and withal, that it is no wayes unlawful, nor in vain, both to hope, and to expect the utter desolation, and destruction of sin in this life, and the setting up of perfect righteousness in the souls of men, where sin has too long raign'd. Written in a testimony to the truth, and against the false position of the devil, and his servants; by a servant of God, Steven Crisp.	Crisp, Stephen, 1628-1692.	1671 (1671)	Wing C6922; ESTC R215182	35,940	50

Nations Tongues and People and there was none able to resist them except those whose Names were written in the Book of the Life of the Lamb. And as concerning them because they would not receive the Mark of the Beast in their Fore-head or Right-hand They must be Banished and must not have Liberty to Buy or Sell and those that would Worship nothing but a Living Substance and not an Image though it was alive those must be killed and when that Sort was all Killed and Banished and the whole World being brought sometimes to Worship the Dragon sometimes to Worship the Beast that had so many Heads and Horns as the Dragon himself and then to Worship a little Beast with two Horns that came out of the Earth and then to Worship the Image of the old seven Headed Beast When I say that all things upon the whole Earth were thus disposed then was it as the Devil would have it for now had every one subjected himself unto his Power and received that Name or Mark or the Number of the Substitute and admired his great Power and set him up as the chiefest among Men whom none could overcome except some few that had the Word of God it self for the other had the Scripture and durst seal their Testimony against the Dragon and False-Prophet with their Blood and because these were but a few and were soon killed they being dead there was a Joyfull and Merry World the Devil was well-pleased and they did send their Gifts to one another abundantly and those that had been most busie and serviceable to kill the Witnesses that dared to speak of another Kingdom or Dominion besides that of the Dragon and Beast they had the greatest Gifts And in those days there was no Prophesying but in Sack-cloath and that did not continue long neither but the Prophets were killed and being Dead their Dead Bodies were kept above the Earth and were more esteemed of then their living Testimony was for that plagued all the Worshippers of the Beast So in such a time have the Nations been so long that they are so us'd to the Power and Raign of the Devil that they plead for it as if he had an undoubted Right thereunto And if the Devil might speak himself he would not desire of the World to rule any longer then the World alloweth him and they have forgot that it is but to continue Forty two Moneths whil'st the Man-Child was caught up unto God and whil'st his Mother was in the Wilderness and also that it was to be expected that both should appear again in their appointed time But whil'st it was thus with the World viz. That the true Church was not to be found upon Earth but was fled away as upon Eagle's Wings and that he that ought to rule over all was caught up into Heaven and that the Devil was in his place the old Serpent ruling and giving his power to whom he pleased to a Great Beast or Little Beast or to a Whore or to any thing like him And whil'st Great and Small High and Low Bond and Free did wonder at his power and were ready to worship any one that had his power let those whose Eyes are open but consider in what a Lamentable State the miserable World then was and whether that Abomination that made the World desolate of God and all good Order was not then set up in the Holy Place where it ought not And was the World without a Religion or without a Profession of God and Christ in those dayes No they bore a Profession of Christ that is Unchangeable in all their Changeable wayes and this was a time of Gladness to many and they had many sorts of Religions and when they came to be weary with one the Devil furnished them with another And when they had been exercised a long time in the aforesaid Worships of the Dragon the Seven-headed Beast the Little Beast and of the Living Image then there came forth yet a deeper Mystery of Iniquity then before the Mother of all these Abomination she shew'd her self not as a despis'd Whore but as a Queen decked with Scarlet Purple and Precious-Stones and that very Beast which none could over-come but the whole World had wondred after it he himself must be under her command and must carry her up and down upon the Waters which are Peoples Lands Tongues and Languages And this Whore hath another Design upon the poor blind World Mark She comes with a preparation to make all drunk that they might not make use of their Sences to bethink themselves where they were and that they might not have any suspition against any thing the furnishes her self with a Golden Cup which there was none that had any thing against it but every one could well receive it and this was but to deceive them for any Potsherd of the Dunghil had been good enough yea a Hog's Trough had been too good to drink that out of which she had to give them But she must give her drink to Kings and Princes and Nobles and Captains and Merchants and to all sorts of men so she proffer'd them her Cup and they have all drunk But what have they drunk Her Whoredoms Fornications and all Abominations of the Earth How much Till they were drunk What did they then They committed Fornication with her they were drunk of Abominations and the Whore was drunk of the Blood of the Saints and Witnesses of Jesus and yet the Name of Jesus was still professed upon Earth that was not persecuted but those were persecuted that witnessed Jesus himself that takes away sin such were persecuted For she being the Mother of Whores and having nothing to proffer to her Customers but Abominations she could not endure to hear That Sin which is an Abomination to the Lord should be taken away and that men should live without sin and be perfect For if so then she must be Childless and as a Widdow and must lose her High-place on the top of the Beast and then they would not be so drunk of her Cup and that would not tend to her Advantage therefore if any came to be Witnesses of Jesus himself she drunk the Blood of such but if they would be content to drink her Cup and so would please themselves with good and precious words and in the mean time drink in her Abominations then they might live and flourish as long as she flourished But Alas What do you think that read with Understanding was the state of the World in those dayes Was it not high time that Plagues Indignation and Vengeance should be pour'd out upon this Bloody Whore and upon the Seat of the Beast upon which she did ride and upon the whole Earth which had committed Fornication with her Is it not high time that the Carpenters should come Zach. 1.20 to cut off these Horns For at that time the power of Darkness was spread over all and the will of the Devil
