A39244	Christian information concerning these last times wherein all people may clearly see what prophesies the Holy Prophets prophesied of should come to pass, which of them is fulfilling and which is fulfilled, and how the lowest part of the great image that Daniel shewed to the King is now a breaking to pouder, and by whom, whereby people may see how very-near Antichrist or the great whore of Babylon is to her end : also some prophetical passages gathered out of Jacob Behme's works, who prophesied and gave them forth in the year 1623, concerning what should come to pass in these northern islands ... / wrinten [sic] in the fifth month by F.E.

were so much in love with her that they joyned with her and committed Fornication freely with her and the Merchants of the earth waxed rich of the abundance of her pleasures but now the dayes of her mourning is come and coming upon her and the dark night of Apostacy in which she hath drunk the blood of the Saints is near come to an end And the tydings out of the East and out of the North doth now sore trouble her and what the Lord spake through that Faithful Servant of his Jacob Behme in the Year 1623. is now near to be fulfilled as may be read in his Book entituled A Christian Information concerning the Last Times wherein he saith The Oriental Beast getteth an Humane heart and face viz. that is The Turk shall turn a true Christian but before this comes to pass while he is a beast he shall help to tear down the Tower of Babel with his Claws for this end hath the Lord raised him that so the tydings out of the East should trouble Babel And likewise the tydings out of the North doth at this day mightily trouble the Inhabitants of Babel to hear that the Lord hath raised his Seed in the North Countrey and now they bestir themselves and they would have them driven out of this North Countrey by all means and if ever they shall return again within seven years then they must die without benefit of their Clergie It seems the Clergie will neither save their lives nor have pitty of them nor pray for them O hard-hearted Generation of Clergy men will you not pray for Enemies nor have pitty on them but give the Lambs of Christ if they come amongst you up to the slaughter Are you like unto Christ who came not to destroy mens lives but to save mens lives Though you have Horns like the Lamb yet you speak like the Dragon and you appear to be Wolves in Sheeps skins that are thus minded But hear further what this German Author said further he said In the darkness of the North ariseth a Sun which taketh its Light from the sensualish properties of the Nature of all Beings from the former expressed Word and this is a Wonder at which all Nations rejoyce This is fulfilled in this Nation Also he saith An Eagle viz. the Emperor of Germany hath hatched young Lyons in his Nest and brought them Prey till they have grown great hoping that they would again bring their Prey to him but they have forgotten that and taken the Eagles Nest and pluck off his Feathers and in unfaithfulness bit off his Claws so that he can fetch no more Prey though he should starve for hunger Also he saith concerning the Turk That he should very easily come to the Rhine stream which now the Turk at this time is near being a River that runs through the heart of Germany where saith he then the great overthrow of the Children of Babilon may come to pass where two great Rods shall appear the one by War the other by Mortality in which Babel shall be ruined saith the Spirit of the Lord in all those who have prophesied before us Further he saith A Lilly blossometh to you ye Northern Countries if you destroy it not with the Sectarian contention of the Learned then it will become a great Tree among you but if you shall rather contend then to know the True God then the Ray passeth by and hiteth only some and then afterwards you shall be forced to draw water for the thirst of your Souls among strange Nations And as it was prophesied of by this Prophet of the Lord so the Lord hath brought it to pass and the Lilly is blossomed in this Island and the Sectarian Contention of the Learned have done what they can to overthrow this Lilly as witness of the publick Teachers in these Nations that have Writ and Printed against the Lilly as is to be seen in the Book put forth by George Fox and Intituled The great Mystery of the Whore unfolded wherein 197. of the publick Teachers are confuted and their Errors condemned and their mouths stopped to their shame for ever and so the Lilly is become a great Tree in this Nation Praises to the Lord for ever And for all you who do not witness the Lilly brought forth in you but are ready to ask what this Lilly is the Author tells you in his Book what it is and how you may know it The Lilly saith he will not be found in strife or Wars but in a friendly humble loving Spirit together with good sound Reason this will dispel and drive away the smoak of the Devil and flourish in its tim● to the overthrowing of Babel and the building up of Zion Also in his book he saith That the Turks after they have tared down the Tower of Babel as a Beast with their claws and given those People and Nations Blood to drink that have drunk the Blood of the Saints and Martyrs of Jesus then they shall saith he come in with great joy and great humility unto Abraham viz. that is to say unto Christ And he saith They shall not come in in the form of the Babylonical formal litteral Christendom in their invented and contrived Orders which are only verbal outside Christians so that a Testimony and some outward footsteps of Christ and his Kingdom have still continued upon the Earth but they shall be born in spirit and power for they are the lost Son that is wandred away from the Father and is become the Swineherd But when the Angel shall bid them return they come in the humility of the lost Son returning to the Father where then the great Joy shall be kept by Christ and his Angels that the dead is made alive and the lost is again found and the true golden Jubal year of the marriage of the Lamb ariseth up among them And albeit Christendom the Elder Brother who hath continued in the Letter doth grumble at it in respect of the different form that he hath made to himself for the most part for his belly and honour yet they are not moved at it they are merry with the Father And they are the two Sons to one whereof the Father said Go and do this and he said Yea but did it not and to the other Son which is the Turk Do this and he said No but did it which doth so highly advance and magnifie the Turks in the Kingdom of Nature which the blind Christian World doth not understand and though Christendom calls them by the name of Infidels and Unbelievers yet saith he they are both alike while the one lives like the other And as it is written Gal. 4.29 He that is born after the flesh persecutes him that is born after the spirit So all Persecutors may see what stock they proceed from the bond woman who must be cast out and the time draws very near for he who ever he be that persecutes his brother is in Cains way
