be Subjects of this Kingdom and Dominion It is not the Locality of the Place or Difference of Degree that can hinder the Combination and Entercourse with the first Born from the Dead and with those that are in Ioint-Possession with him in his Kingdom If so then it is no distance that can separate the Spirits of the Church of the first Born here upon this visible Stage But there will be a sense and knowledge of the State and Condition of each other how far removed soever Several instances there are for it both in Antient Records and in present experience hence it is that St. Paul being absent was present in Spirit to the Corinthians beholding their Order Nay further when this Estate shall come to its high Magnitude that the Etherial Body shall penetrate through the Grosser part they may walk upon the Waters or pass through the Doors and be of that swift flight as to out-run the Chariots and Horsemen But all of this we pass over as not knowing the time when this high divine Magia shall be set a work For if the false and dark Magicians can do marvelous things out of their Centres much more then may the Wonders be brought forth out of the true Original and Creating power from the Abyssal Eternity Which will have their time of Reviving again in this new modell'd Reign as God shall move in Nature and Creature in this last Period of time § XXXII Now it remains further to be considered what are the Laws appertaining to this new modell'd State which will not be after the manner of the old Covenant written in Tables of Stone which gave not force nor power for Obedience for that Law being weak through the flesh Christ became the end of it and so is become a fiery Law in the Spirit of Life engraven upon the Mind and Heart there Springing and Rising according to the pure dictate of the Holy Ghost Having reference only to what shall be immediately taught from God as a Fountain still flowing in Now as to the Particular Laws I shall refer to a Book put forth in the Year 1695. Entituled the Laws of Paradise I shall offer at present only what is the Sum of them which is Love to God and Faith in him For this new Creation-State and Life is all founded thereupon and so the Building must be carried on and supported by these two great Pillars from whence may be branched forth the manifold Wisdom that will from the high and Heavenly Court be given out For as it is there so it must be here that the principal Elders in the Love and Faith as they are deputed to bear Rule and Government here so must they have recourse to the King of Kings and his Privy Counsellours and so derive down and give forth what has been confirmed and sealed by Him unto those that are under their Iurisdiction Thus it shall be according to what is mention'd Iob 22. 28. Thou shalt also decree a thing and it shall be Establisht to thee That is whatever they shall believe for as Springing from the rootlaw of Life Christ in us shall be fully accomplisht and made good Otherwise there could be no maintaining this Soveraignty and Power over the contradictions of Spirits that would still keep up and make opposition by their Traditional Laws Which must be subdued and brought under to these high born Spirits into whose hand the ruling Scepter is given The mighty God confiding in them in their Humility Meekness and great Wisdom for the management of this Trust reposed in them § XXXIII It may further be asked Whether these Children of the Kingdom shall not stand in need of the outward Accommodations as may be meet to supply and support the outward State and how they shall come by them It is answered there will be a requiring of these things but with a very different use of them as in the degenerate Life they take their pleasure and pride in the abuse of them making them as their Mammon God which our Lord does caution us was not to be allowed in a Redeemed State wherein they were to take no thought for these things as the Gentiles did but absolutely to pin our Faith upon the All-sufficiency who will give the Blessing of increase to such as shall make them only as Steps which they set their foot upon that they may with greater freedom be advancing to a higher Sphear as having matters of greater Consequence to mind which are the manifold Affairs that appertain to the Government and Kingdom of Christ which indeed is so considerable as will drink up their whole time so as they will have little leisure to mind Trivial and Transitory things And therefore 't is not to be doubted but such shall have more than enough so that they shall not have only for their own use but also as Stewards to dispense out of God's Stock and Store For this we have not only private experience in manifold Instances hereof for the Building upon this Foundation of Faith but also many Scripture Prophesies that must have their fulfilling which is to be expected in such an Age of time as this is which we have been Treating of which will be the true Solomon's Lily-Day That in the 45 Psalm verse 12. is so considerable I cannot but mention it And the Daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift even the rich among the People shall intreat thy favour Such likewise is that Isa. 61. 5 6. And strangers shall stand and feed your stocks and the Sons of the Alien shall be your Plow-men and your Vine-dresser But ye shall be named the Priests of the Lord Men shall call you the Ministers of our God ye shall eat the Riches of the Gentiles and in their Glory shall ye boast your selves By all this you see the high Prerogatives and great Immunities that do belong to the Royal seed and Offspring that into the Priestly Court are taken in as the Anointed ones to Minister in the Holy Tabernacle whose Lot and Portion will not be among the outward Tribes of the Earth but out of the Treasure-house of Faith § XXXIV The day is already come wherein these Prophecies begin to be fulfill'd For there shall be a bringing in from far for it shall be as in Solomons time Materials for the Temple-Glory of this day and the Magnificence of it shall be heaped up and given in in all abundance The Renown of which shall go throughout all quarters of the Earth So that as the Queen of Sheba did then now shall the Kings and Princes and great ones of the Earth both from the East and West North and South come to the Mountain of the Lords House and bring their Glory and Honour into it and highly favoured they may reckon themselves to hear this Ioyful Sound which many in former Ages have desired to hear but have not heard Therefore this gracious Call is all worthy to be taken hold of that
me a very pleasant Flowery and delightful Sphear with a wonderful bright Light that covered it as a Firmament and the word said this is the Childrens Sphear and Kingdom It appeared like a little World fill'd up with them from the Womb to the Stature of about 12 Years This was inferiour to Paradise but was appropriated to Wisdom to be under her Government and Dominion who appointed here several ministring Angels to Discipline and Educate them in the Faith of Iesus For being stained with original Sin they were to believe in and receive the Lamb of God as their Redeemer And so by Union with him they become Virgins without Spot or Blemish Hereby it was said that Wisdom did make out her self in the Fathers new-created Wonders in these Children being transplanted out from the Earthly into the Divine and Spiritual Orb of Light § XVIII Now the Three other Regions to wit Paradise Mount-Sion and the New Ierusalem I have already given an account of in the Book of the Eight Worlds I must pronounce Happy and Blessed are they that dye so fitly qualified as immediately to pass through all these before-mention'd Regions that none of them may detain them but that as an Arrow swiftly they may fly into this more high degree of the Paradisical Sphear for they shall not long rest here before their Ascension shall be where they shall see the King of Mount Sion stretching out the Golden Cord that shall draw them up to sit with him upon his Throne which he has prepared for them and so to rise from one Glory to another till in the fullness of the Fathers Glory Christ shall install them jointly with himself The everlasting Gates of the New Ierusalem here open and wide do stand Which properly does belong to the high and lofty Majesty as his Principal Seat or Manision-house Which he will in the concluding part of all Scenes make to descend to fill the whole Creation with the Splendor of it's Glory Even so Amen § XIX But for caution let none think they can reach to these two last degrees at the passing out of the Body but as Christ in them shall come to be grown up in a perfect Stature covering them all over with his divine Nature Which we hope and believe may be wrought out effectually by the same Power that gave a Resurrection to his dead Body and an Ascention to Glorification in the Faith of which we wait and pray for this perfect Day Iune 30. 1698. § XX. I was Considering and Recollecting with my self the manifold Mysteries that among the Dead lay yet hid which in these Ages past were to be concealed and shut up but as the nearer approach is of the finishing of the fulness of Redemption the Word of the Eternal Wisdom has been pleas'd to make known what is beyond the present belief of the World but to the Impartial seekers and Worthy inquirers the secrets that appertain to the States of seperated Souls may be communicated § XXI In the first place we are to consider how these three Ranks of such as have departed this World short of Redemption shall come to recover the Regeneration or Remaining part of the Work which they might possibly have attained in this Life for which end the Mediatorship of Christ was establisht by the Father and continued in the Melchizedeck-Order And as Souls are daily Dying in this imperfect State so Christ is daily renewing the Efficacy of his Blood that must still attone for them It is also further made manifest that the great Saints that are made Kings and Priests as they have Thrones so they have Seats of Iudgment and are also made Saviours with their high Prince and Saviour being of the same Merciful and meek Nature as joined and made one Spirit with him And their intercession with him is of acceptation and efficacy for these their fellow Members that have laâ—'d behind and lost their time either in this Life or in other Centres So that is laid for a Foundation-truth that the great Saints may help the less whether In the higher World or the lower Now as it was queried in my self so it may be by others how those that are departed shall be brought to Repent and believe in Christ for Salvation It was here shewn to me that there were There Prophets Pastors and Teachers that did exercise their Function and Office as well as in these Regions below For it is well to be understood that this Converting and Regenerating work is to go forward on till that which is perfect do so enter into every Member that they come to be in Congruity with their perfect Head who must see the full Fruit of the Travail of his Soul throughout the whole Creation For Christ the Head does not account himself perfect till every Member be co-joined with him Therefore also the high Saints do Sympathize with the groaning Creation because till all are brought in their Ioy cannot be full If it be asked What Scripture is there for this I recommend the same that was open'd to me from the Revelstions Chap. 5. 8. Where the 24 Elders were in Office to receive the Golden Vials of the Prayers of the Saints and to pour them before the Throne Whereby it is implyed that the Prayers of the Saints of a lesser degree may pass through them that are of a higher Then another Scripture I shall superadd is that 1 Cor. 15. 29. Where you find the Living did enter into the Covenant of Baptism for the Dead as being capable of helping them forward in their Process to Christ by Concurrence and Union of Spirits with them And had we more of this Concurrence of Spirits one with another the Kingdom of our Lord had not been so long detained and kept back but a quicker dispatch might have been made but we are in hopes that as the day-Star shall more Universally arise in Hearts this Light shall so spread it self as that the knowledge of these great Mysteries shall find more kind entertainment in the World that lyes Buried in so much Ignorance and Darkness Then there will be less to do in those other Regions because there will not so many dye in an imperfect State and the Kingdom of Satan will be weakened and diminisht thereby who shall not be able to hold his Dominion either in the invisible dark Sphear or the visible Principle I shall now conclude this Point with this Acclamation Rejoice ye Heavens and shout ye lower parts of the Earth for the Lord God Omnipotent is about to do Marvelous things which shall be seen and admired by such as do long for and Love his Appearance Which approaching is still nearer and nearer Even so come Come O Lord in thy Kingdom Power and Glory Amen Iuly 10. 1698. § XXII II was further discovered that the Elders before the Throne did receive Commission from the Supream King and Lord as being his most near Privy Counsellers for to put into Office and
expected the Reign of our Emmanuel § XXVI The beginning and method of which was thus platform'd out to me as in the Mount was seen in the threefold Court there in Persons so indued and qualified to be Prophets Priests and Kings which are to be laid as the Foundation of that ever Springing Creation that are born into a State of Eternal Generation These shall know length of Days as it was in the Patriarchs before the Flood even to Methusalah's Years This good old Golden Age will presage that Christ has set his Foot to Reign upon the Earth in his Spirit made manifest in his Temple-Body whom he has espoused to himself as his Bride Who will rise and shine in her Ornamental Gifts and Powers Cloathed with that flaming Robe that the Moth of Corruption cannot eat out XXVII So in answer to the Query made by that worthy Person the swallowing up of the outward Body into an immortal Figure of Glory for constant manifestation and duration I do not expect to see till the Lord of Glory himself shall appear then such as are alive at that day shall be transfigured instantly and be made like him for they shall see him as he is Not but that there may be upon some extraordinary occasion a Transfiguration for to give a proof of the verity and possibility of it as in the case of Christ himself but this only transient And further we are to note according as has been seen in the clear Glass of divine Secrets that such of the long-lived Stones as shall reach to the Patriarchal Ages will be found in a more fit capacity to transcend all these Bounds and Limits of numbers of Years by putting on of that Glorified Figure which can never need to fear the diminution and alteration of its Beauty and Perfection as they shall bear up in the unwavering Faith hereof they may hold out till the Personal Glory shall descend while others that may also be Spiritually united in the Temple-Body through doubtfulness and sensible feeling of infirmities with other temptations incident to the Corporeal State may not be able to hold out beyond the Mortal Life but this will no way hinder but that they may maintain their Spiritual Affinity and Fellowship with those others that out-live them in the Body and shall be privileged more particularly to descend with Christ and to rejoice together with them in the Neptial Unity Therefore counsell'd and call'd upon we are to keep up in the Faith and strive hard that so we may attain the Prize and reach the Crown Number each one standing in their Lot as it shall in divine Wisdom be decreed and as the measuring Line of Life shall be stretched out upon them Having no more to do but to watch and wait each one in the inward Court of a pure Mind § XXVIII For the confirmation of these Prophetical Openings there is a Scripture-evidence as a foregoing and more antient Prophecy As Isa. 65. 20 There shall be no more thence an Infant nor an old Man that hath not filled his days for the Child shall dye a Hundred years old but the sinner being an Hundred years old shall be accursed Also verse 20. as the days of a Tree are the days of my People and mine Elect shall long enjoy the Work of their Hands And Isa. 25. 8. He will swallow up Death in Victory and the Lord God shall wipe away Tears from off all faces And lastly that place Rev. 20. 6. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first Resurrection on such the second Death hath no power but they shall be Priests of God and of Christ and shall reign with him a thousand Years These Scriptures are a plain and evident proof that such a State shall be within the Holy Mountain of the Lord when it comes to be established as has by Vision and Prophecy been hereof declared § XXIX Now it may be asked by what means and after what manner shall this be brought to pass for in present view the highest Saints are subject to Infirmities Diseases and Death True it is so and may continue so to be till Christ who is the Tree of Life shall out of the Ground of renewed Nature Spring Which he will not fail to do in such as are weaned from that forbidden Tree from whence the Curse and Death hath been drawn in which is the old poisoned Root that can only be healed and recovered again to its own Original purity by the Iuice and Sap that is offered most freely for an Effectual Wonderful Transformation for you must know that till there be a perfect State arrived to these two Trees will both be growing in Natures Ground within us and as the Souls propension and feeding is such Fruits it will bring forth This runs Paralel with that Representation Christ gave of himself as the Bread of Life Iohn 6. 50. This is the Bread which cometh down from Heaven that a Man may eat thereof and not die and more Emphatically in the next Verse Ifany Man eat of this Bread he shall live for ever So again Verse 58. Not as your Fathers did eat Manna and are dead Now what kind of Eating must this be but the very Quintessential Spirit of Christ the true Tree of Life drawn into the Soul by the strong attraction of Faith and Love § XXX Now in order to the true Participation hereof and attaining to the essentiality of the Resurrection-Life There is a new Institution that has been Commanded and given forth to some that in the Faith and expectation of this great Change have waiting been the Practice hereof being but among a certain Number that have had open'd in them the Mystery of Christ's Resurrection-Life That as hitherto the Solemnization of the dying Lord has been observed under the suffering State of the Church So now upon the new Modification as having the Eye of Faith upon the Resurrection-mark there is a particular Commemoration likewise of his Resurrection not only personally from the Grave but also of his rising in us out of our deadly Mold Celebrating here withal the Marriage-Union as being risen with him from the Dead And this Symbol as it is received Virtually and Powerfully incorporates with and infuses by degrees That which is incorruptible into the outward Body also to make it hold out the Race that it is set to run within the Circle-Reign of our great Immanuel The good influences of this Institution hath been experienc'd in the Partakers hereof as greatly Advantageous for their growth and flourishing towards this translated Life So that it may be well worth joining in a high and holy Communion in this true Love and Resurrection-Feast § XXXI Now if it be inquired where this Reign of Christ in such choice Spirits will first appear It is not limited or confin'd to any Nation or Kingdom but Persons out of all Ranks and Degrees high or low from the Monarch to the meanest of States may come to
put forth the Golden Leaves for Medicine to themselves Which shall be as a constant Imbalming to render their Bodies durable and Incorruptible O Blessed and highly Marvelous and Wonderful will this great Appearance of Christ in his Saints be in its Time For which it is only required of this Generation that they gird up in the Faith and be found in waiting and Preparation for it § XXXVIII Now I do see in Spirit some Footsteps are already taken in order to this translated State An Election has been hereunto from the Eternal Court and Council in the Heavens for the gathering such as shall be steady Pillars to bear up the Mountain of Holiness upon which shall be written Emmanuel liveth and resteth here But let it be known that this Ascent to the height of this Majestick Reign of Christ and Arrival to this length of Days will not be all at once but rising by Degrees There will be several Signs that will fore-run it The Messengers for this end must go forth to Preach up the Faith and to draw forth an expectation of it in such as shall be Selected hereunto So that there will be some Bright Stars that will rise and go forth as Lightning upon the Earth receiving special Endowments and Spiritual gifts and in an eminent manner the Gift of discerning Spirits piercing into the very thoughts and intent of the Heart As Peter perceived the perverse design of Ananias and Sapphira the Spirit of God within him opening it unto him And so in the same manner will these things be made manifest again For as the World in Age grows old so the Mystery of iniquity will wax greater by putting on and Counterfeiting the very Robe of Christ's Innocency and Truth and also by a breaking forth of the dark Magick as the more true and divine by way of Miraculous Working is coming forth Therefore the Tri une Council in Heaven foreseeing this will raise up such as shall be of quick-sight and sound Iudgment to detect and countermine what would make the true thing questioned and invalued Therefore the Lord will see it necessary to set his own Stamp first for Immaculate purity and next for great Powerfulness to do and act in such a manner as none of the false Magicians shall be able to imitate or stand before them Thus the Lord will move himself step by step And for length of Days at first it may not arrive to above a Hundred Years and so in every Generation there will be an Increase as they grow stronger in Spirit and work themselves more out of the Gross and Elementary Life for there will be skill and understanding given to draw in from the one pure Element And there will also be outward Medicines discovered that have not yet been that will have a wonderful Efficacy for the preserving and fortifying Nature and recovering the lost Paradisical Body There is a Vein of Gold in Eternal Natures Garden that has not yet been pierced into which when the Divine Artists shall be sent forth shall be broken up and run most free as the true Elixir appropriated and reserved for this Age and a Soveraign help and Blessing to the Inhabitants of this new Kingdom Now who would not rejoice to see the Dawnings and first breakin gs forth of this most Wonderful time for which end these Discoveries and Manifestations of the approaching time have been given out through one that has been upon the Watch-Tower Who has received Commission to declare what is here Written for inviting and exciting all the Unbelieving as well as the Believing the Ignorant as well as the Knowing of what Name or Profession soever they be but especially the Philadelphian-Flock that they may all take good notice of the present Season or the Beginning of the Love-Reign Wherein the true Philadelphian-State will be better understood known and established The Foundation whereof is already laid whereby as flaming Stones of Love the Fountain-Heart of God's love they will reach to multiply therefrom as numberless Golden Sands and Drops of Love as Seeds to overspread the Earth For Lovesday shall now bear the Dominion over all the wrathful Properties which shall all sink away as this day of the Lords shall in Mortals Reign § XXXIX One considerable thing I have more to open which is concerning the great Wonder seen in Heaven mentioned by St. Iohn of the Woman Cloathed with the Sun and the Moon under her feet of which there have gone forth many Interpretations and Calculations of the time of her Travail and bringing forth the Man-Child Now as to this it is made manifest that her coming forth out of the Wilderness will signify this great day of Dominion and Power over the Earth as has been here made mention of For there can be no Soveraignty of Rule and Command till she has brought forth that Man-Child that is to Rule the Nations with a Rod of Iron Now this Wilderness-State according to the Spiritual and Mystical sence thereof is to be understood of a quiet Retirement shelter and defence from the fury of the Dragon where she is fed and nourisht with the true Manna and Eternal Word of Life having free entercourse as St. Iohn had in the Isle of Patmos with the superior Heavens for communications and discoveries for such a time and season As also that holy Birth that hath proceeded from her is to remain in the Heavens till the number of Time shall be finished Who shall come forth in the Male strength of a Godhead-might in some Persons both Males and Females that shall be fitly Qualified to bear rule and to manage the Rod of Power according to that Type of the Rod put into Moses hand by which he did all those great Miracles For thus the Regency will be with a Superiority over all the outward Constellations and changeable motions of the Planets all Sublunary things being put under their Feet For the united Number of these High-born Spirits will have their cloathing from that Sun whose fixation is in the one unchangeable Element unto which all other Elements must bow and be made Subject Tho' there will not be wanting after all this attempts by the Satanical Spirit and Kingdom who will encompass and encamp against the Lamb and his Bride But this will be permitted for that end that the Omnipotent Rod put into their hands may be more signally stretched out to break all Combinations and bring to nought all that would deal Treacherously against those whose Persons the God-man hath taken up to magnifie his great Reign and Power in over all Nations of the Earth And so that saying may be made good Micah 4. 8. And thou O Tower of the Flock the strong hold of the Daughter of Sion unto thee shall it come even the first Dominion the Kingdom shall come to the Daughter of Ierusalem § XL. Now 't is given me to declare that this is not only in future expectation but that there has been
asked what this meant and it was answer'd It is a sign of the Covenant of Faith that is confirmed betwixt me and thee and thy Houshold that so ye may be saved from the Iericho Curse that will come upon the Earth which Curse is spread over all this outward Prnciple For there is Confusion and Distress to be read every where and that not only among the Earthly minded but even among the more Enlightned and better Disciplin'd all which carries a direful Face so that no Peace is to be found neither without the Fold or hardly within it but Divisions in every place Therefore this Word of Advertisement is given from the true Natural Mother cautioning you to retire and keep out of both the Outward and the more Refined Societies of Mortals that are not yet redeemed out of the Animal and Sensitive Life Then further it was intimated that our Spirits should fly up by this Scarlet line of Faith which would direct us there where a Door of Heaven is open through which we should pass and have an immediate access to the Father of of our Spirits And accordingly entrance was made by the Spirit 's might that did Mount the Soul up where was sitting the Glory of the Majesty Co-mingled with all variety of Glories that is not to be discribed with the Glorified Person on one side of it and the Princess Wisdom on the other the Court being all filled with Angelical Spirits that waited in all obedience to receive their Commands and moved in and out in that Principle Then was it said to my Spirit This is the Peaccable Region which I know your Spirits do delight greatly to be found in for in the Mortal World where your visible Figures do stand Wars and Confusions are apt to meet upon the outward Part Therefore here is prepared for you quiet Mansions in this City of Refuge which is alotted to be the Dwelling Place for your high-born Spirits to resort unto And know that this Priviledge you shall have above others ascending out of Time into Eternity and descending out of Eternity into Time Whereby ye shall know and understand what is expedient to be known that relates to you in your own Native Kingdom for ye are but Strangers in the Visible World and are not thence to regard at all that which lies in a Changeable State but to trust and confide for what your eternal Patronage shall from that upper World produce which will be Blessings of another kind then what the Earth can give which ye are to rejoice exceedingly in Then said the true Mother of our Spirits ye now know full well where your Treasure is to the which let your Hearts be evermore ascending and taking your residence in Heavenly places with your Iesus § XLIX Then did I enquire How was to be the conveyance of these Blessed Heavenly Stores that so necessary is to shew forth from what descent we come according to our Spiritual Birth To which Answer was made you know the way is only by the Spirits Flight which in the strong Power of Faith you must take from the fulness of the God-head which dwelleth in your Christ the manifold Powers and Gifts that may be for the adorning of that high and holy Calling Your Lord would not be spared in this matter he grudgeth not to give plenteously because it makes for his Honour that his Spouse and Bride especially such as do Represent her should be extraordinarly Dignified and Endowed But the Way for this is to be as a Bucket that goes down deep into a Well so the Spirit of Faith is to ascend into the Heights and then to descend down into the Deeps whereout the excellency of all Massy Treasure must be brought up For it is expedient that when the Spirtual Births are near to the full Age grown up they should come into some possession of the Revenues and Dowries that are alloted to them These are not to live so Poor and Mean as others that have not hereunto attained Therefore ye of This Society are called to be upon your Strict Watch and gird up your strength of Faith hereunto for it is Spiritual Industry that must give the increase of these Celestial Riches consider therefore and know what is the Hope of your High-Calling hereunto for where God has given great manifestations of his Mind and Counsel there he expects they should accordingly pursue to fetch out all of the Weighty Prize § L. Now this high Favour will not only be appropriated to a Peculiar Number but more generally will be extended even to the saving of Nations and Kingdoms from those Calamities and Iudgments that might well be feared and expected by reason of the Violence and Oppressions every where with the Abominations and Spiritual Wickednesses For what Cure else can now be prescribed for the repairing of these Ruines and making up of these Breaches whether they be Spiritual or whether they be Carnal Must it not be by the Rod which shall strike the Rock so that the Waters of the Spirit shall gush forth and overflow for Healing These Waters verily will be for distruction to all that Springs out of the evil Ground of Nature and will overwhelm and drown the Briars and Thorns of the Wildernessed-Earth So on the other side these Holy Waters of the Spirit will Feed Nourish and Strengthen every Birth of Life that hath been conceived by the Spirit till it shall grow up to that Maturity as entrusted it may be with a Kingdom And these are those that shall stand up in this latter Day on the Earth to bless the Nations with the good Things and Treasures out of This Mountain that standeth open to all the four Quarters of the Earth To which there will be a flying as of swift Dromedaries from the North and from the South and from the Rising of the Sun unto the going down of the same For reports will so sound forth every where of the great Powers Goodnesses and Glories of the Majesty of Christ here appearing with his Saints that shall draw together the Scattered and Dispersed that through all the thick Clouds and Darknesses they may break away and make their entrance hereinto § LI. Then it was further shewed to me concerning This Nation that as Light and Knowledge was breaking forth as a mighty Stream upon it so it should still go on further to increase and multiply and many should now run to and fro here for the opening of the Fountains and Deeps of such Blessings as therewithal the whole Earth should be covered and this Land become as a Springing Paradise And no devouring Beast or Hurtful Thing shall abide in it but the Holy People shall be for Bulwarks and a Flaming Wall of Defence to it Which Blessed Day is near at hand for which upon our Watch-Tower we are all charged to stand and to be found in a Readiness to entertain this Ioyful Message with all the Pretious and Weighty things that therein are Prophesied of But here caution is given that all do stand in a ready posture yielding to Wisdom's Divine Discipline who well instructs her Children to be obedient to the Law of Love whereby they will be able to stop that Flying Roll of the Curse which is going forth and to open the Heavens out of which may descend Flying Angels who will proclaim to this Island and to all Nations and Tribes of the Earth the everlasting Gospel of Love Good-Will and Peace whereby all Internal and External Wars may cease Which will open a torrent of boundless Blessings upon the World In the assured Faith of this and all the Prophesies here mention'd let us in Harmonious Concord and Unity wait and agree Amen FINIS THE CONTENTS Sect. 1.
