Immanuel The Salvation of ISRAEL The Word of the Lord came unto me the twelfth day of the sixth Month in the year accounted 1657. concerning the Jews and scattered Tribes of ISRAEL As I was waiting upon the Lord in spirit in Legorne in Italy which in the Name of the Lord I give forth to be copied and sent throughout the World Written by a lover of Righteousnesse a mourner over the scattered Tribes a seeker of the lost that the Remnant may be saved J. P. LONDON Printed for Thomas Simmons at the signe of the Bull and Mouth near Aldersgate 1660. The word of the Commandment of the Lord to his Servant concerning the scattered Jews in Italy Spain Portugal France Holland and the rest of the Regions and every Island throughout the Earth and the Seas to write these words following to them all WHether you will hear or forbear this is the word of the Lord God unto all you scattered Jews throughout the whole Earth God of a truth is arisen to gather unto himself his peculiar Seed from the four winds of the Earth Isa 〈◊〉 25. Jer. 〈◊〉 7.8 Jer. 14 〈◊〉 Ezek 4● end that Jacob may possesse and inhabit his inheritance and the Seed of Israel the Holy Land And according to the Prophets he hath began at the North and is streching and hath streched forth his Arm over the South and over the East and over the West And behold it cometh to pass and is at hand and not as a day afar off but even nigh unto the door that the Lord will separate of all Nations both Jew and Gentile the just from the vile him that feareth God from him that feareh him not him that keepeth the Law of God which is written in his heart through the sanctification thereof by the power of the Lord ruling in his conscience mind spirit and life from him that in words which professeth God and his Law and Statutes and ordinances and yet walks in his life and daily practices contrary to the Law written in the heart which God spake unto Moses saying De 〈…〉 14 〈◊〉 The word is nigh thee in thy mouth and in thy heart that thou mayest do it See I have set before thee this day life and good death and evil And unto ye Oh Jews is the same come and before you in the Name of the Lord coming unto you do I set life and death light and darknesse in this the day of the Lord which is dawned unto a measure of the Remnant even in this day which is light and not darknesse wherein the promise of God is fulfilled and it came to pass according to the Prophefie in a day when it was neither night nor day neither dark nor light but in the evening it was a little light And not as from the traditions of my forefathers or the generations of men in the corrupt and polluted nature in the degeneration from God and alienation from the Covenant of life and promise who confessed the Messiah as this generation doth to be come in words with their corrupted tongues and polluted lips but in their works and by their practise and life make his coming void and of non-effect unto them neither by the reading of the Scriptures came I to know that he was come as he is come but by the spirit of the Lord by which I was chosen in the womb and sanctified in the day of my birth by which also I am seperated from the Land of my natural nativity and brought unto the feeling of sorrows in a strange Land for your sakes I come to know and now to declare unto you that Immanuel who is God with us who is the light of the world the Messiah in the power of God who is a spirit is come reigning in spirit in the hearts of his people over whom and in whom he rules as King treading down and trampling upon all principalities and powers making the Earth new and the Heavens also warring against all which is contrary to his own pure nature in many until he hath put all his enemies under his feet and then will he give up the Kingdome to the Father that God may be all in all And for this cause also even for your sakes who are of most men despised in heart I pass as one desolate and despised and hated and mocked of many and many more of the nation of my naturall birth would gladly have my blood yet am I not forsaken of him that sent me with his message unto you of salvation and everlasting glad tidings of Redemption And now he that hath an ear let him hear and a heart to perceive let him understand Be it known unto you all That God hath more regard to your souls then that you should perish in your sins and your souls is more precious in his eye for which he hath ordained life everlasting for as many as come to believe then the pleasure and ease of your corrupt carcases which are to rot in Graves and Sepulchres And therefore for the Lord to regain his own Image which is lost in man through fall in the transgression and to r●store man unto the same uprightness where in man was created which was the promise of God unto man in this wise the seed of the woman shall bruise the Serpents head Behold unto you it is given forth and declared for the redemption and restauration of the seed the Messiah came and now is coming the second time without sin unto salvation even he cometh now in spirit and in power who was the Rock whom your Fathers in the Wilderness forsook and the light of the world whom your Fathers slew at Ier●salem which brought a grievous curse upon you of being a people troden upon by all the world and not onely so but the most lamentable thing and curse which is over you for which cause my soul mourns for you that such cruel hard-heartedness distrust doubt jealousies and unbelief coveting fraud deceit dissimulation and Hypocrisie hath vailed your hearts and grossely darkned your understandings Oh that is the worst of all that is the greatest curse in how much throughout ages the Iews have been given over unto vile affections hard-heartedness sinn and unbelief which is the cause why ye cannot rightly speak of the things of God and understand the Prophets writings which were spoken Ezek 2. and do stand as mysteries yea deep mysteries to your thick hearts your understandings being covered as with a thick cloud of darkness Hos 〈◊〉 9. Jer. 2● Jer. 3● Jer. 3● which now we the seed Abraham of the true Iew inwardly do walk by the light thereof as a Pillar of fire by night and therefore said the Lord by his Prophet for want of knowledge my people perish The Prophets they prophesied of the M●ssiah to come in spirit in a mystery to the whole world Iew and Gentile so that when he came he was not received but by the Remnant in them
dayes as he is received now in these dayes but unto whom the spirit of wisdome and understanding was given to read and understand that which the Prophets spake forth in Parables to the whole world of mankind which lay in sin and wickedness And therefore ye Iews now in these dayes ye ought not to speak of God or to name his name in perversnesse whilest ye ha●e to be reformed in your hearts minds and spirits but ye ought to hear the Message of the Lord God and to ponder it in your hearts that you may see how farre ye are yet from the Promise being not come in truth in spirit and in life unto the condition thereof fulfilled and made up in you untill which ye cannot justly expect the fulfilling of the promise unto you in the substance For whilest you are in your sins as your Fathers were in their sins in the day that they slew Jesus at Ierusalem you cannot but as men in the flesh look with any other than an eye of flesh for a God of flesh to come among you and to save you by the Arm of flesh Oh blind and sottish of dull ears and dark understandings and so could not your Fathers neither can you now as you stand see him that cometh to ransome the seed in spirit and in power Behold none other but Immanuel the Messiah which is God with us the light of the world that is come unto us and is passing through the whole world who will smite the earth with the Rod of his mouth and with the breath of his lips he shall slay the wicked 1.4 Now this is wisdome to know and understand that birth and nature of the wicked in you and to feel the power of that breath in you thereby to taste of the pangs of that slaughter in you and then ye will witness the Messiah come in you in spirit 〈◊〉 1.2 ●●e 3. and in wisdome and in a deep and quick understanding making the Heavens new in you and the earth new in you as Solomon saith God hath set the world in mans heart wherefore man cannot find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end thereof he that hath an ear to hear and heart to understand may now come to discern and read Nations Kingdoms Countries Armies Philistines Egyptians Aliens the seed of the Iew and the generation of the Gentile in him Mountains heaps of Stons Sodom Built and Gomorrah fenced Ierusalem trodden down Zion and her Daughter in bondage and her seed in great Captivity lamenting as in solitary places left and forsaken as in a wildernesse and as a Virgin Daughter in a strange land altogether left comfortlesse the poor the widow and the fatherlesse the blind the halt and the maimed all left without pity I say search your hearts in secret and see if this be not truth the light of Immanuel answering in all your consciences and hidden parts Again I say wait upon God with your minds staid upon the light in all your consciences and thereby God will shew you even by the coming of his son Iesus the Messiah the light of the World the fulfilling of the Law and of the Prophets in you that is to say thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart with all thy mind and with all thy soul and thy Neighbour as thy selfe this is the sum and substance of all which the light in all your consciences if ye follow it in your minds will perfectly lead to the fulfilling of and then ye will know that Immanuel the light of the World came not to destroy the Law but to fulfill the Law that the righteousnesse of the Law might be fulfilled in us who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit which is according to the leadings of the light in all our consciences and this is from the Lord both to the Iew and the Gentile Furthermore to the scattered Tribes of the house of Israel this is the word of the Lord God of Heaven and Earth who is the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob who by a mighty hand and out-stretched arm by the hand of Moses his Prophet and Messenger unto the seed in Bondage in great Captivity brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt Even vnto you Oh ye Iews this is the word of the dreadfull Lord God of Hosts and as a sign unto you and among you and in you it shall stand unto the end of your dayes if you perish in unbeliefe and in your sins that the Messiah is come Jesus whom your Fathers slew through unbelief and hard-heartednesse in their dayes who slew him for saying in words that which they themselves did own concerning themselves in the substance according to their profession that is to say he declared that he was the Son of God and therefore they put him to death as a Blasphemer and they said that God was their Father yet were in their wilfulnesse so far blinded that they could not discern that their words in manner of the declaration tended to the same thing and was of the same nature and this shall stand the sign thereof unto the end if ye perish in unbelief to your perpetuall judgment that he hath lightned you all with his true light which shineth in all your conscences which sheweth you in secret the deceitfulnesse of your hearts and convinceth you in your minds of lying cheating coveting envy and of all sin and unrighteousnesse which is not according to the Law of God written in your hearts this sign the light in your consciences shall never dye in you which all your burning Lamps and washings and Altars and vails and holiest of holiest and all the other ceremonies were but signs and sigures and shadows of this everlasting signe and substance which shall perpetually stand to justifie you if you love it and follow it and walk according to it or to condemne you for evermore if ye hate it and walk contrary to it And be it also known unto you that if you expect another Messiah then him that is come which is Immanuel God with us in spirit and in life and power leading out of sin the land of bondage and darknesse and in vertue and in wisedome and in counsel and in judgment not judging according to the seeing of the eye or hearing of the eare but with righteous judgment in spirit who searcheth every spirit and the bottome of every heart with his light in every conscience ye are but Seekers unto this day for flesh to come yet farther to be an ease unto your flesh and to purchase more ease and liberty for your flesh in which state ye already stand even in the ease and lust of the flesh which God Almighty by the coming of his Son will destroy for because of sin and iniquitie and men living in the ease and lust of the flesh the Lord God will hasten judgement upon the earth Now consider search and
