A40276	A testimony for God's truth first, concerning new & heavenly Jerusalem, and Jerusalem from below. Secondly, concerning Christ the great mountain that fills the whole earth. Thirdly, how man and woman was created in the image of God, and to be help-meets one to another. Fourthly, how every one ought to improve the talent God gives them, to his glory, and their eternal happiness. By George Fox.	Fox, George, 1624-1691.	1688 (1688)	Wing F1928; ESTC R215788	10,734	17

the Apostles Dayes in the Apostacy the outward Christians have gone into many Sects and they have got many Mothers and by Law they force other to them but they that are brought out of the Night of Apostacy by the Light Power and Spirit of Christ Jesus they are come to new and Heavenly Jerusalem and can own none of their Mothers that they have set up since the Apostles Dayes that are below Heavenly Jerusalem that is free and from above in whom there is neither Sect nor Schism Rent nor Division Contest nor Strife for no unclean thing comes into it And the Lord said Behold I Create New Heavens and a New Earth and the former shall not be remembred nor come into mind Isaiah saw this by Prophesie Isa 56.17 And John said I saw a new Heaven and a new Earth and the First Earth was passed away and there was no more Sea Rev. 2● 1. And the Lord said Behold I Create Jerusalem a Rejoycing and her People a Joy and I will Rejoyce in Jerusalem and Joy in my People and the Voice of Weeping and Crying shall be heard no more in her Is not this Heavenly Jerusalem that Isaiah Prophesied of Isa 65.18 19. and is not this the Heavenly Jerusalem that John saw in Revelations 21.2 3 4. This new and heavenly Jerusalem that is above it shines over all the Nations for the Nations of them that are saved walk in the Light of it where it is always Day and there is no Night there for the Lord God and the Lamb is the Light of it in which Light the Nations of them that are saved walk Natural Men may know natural Sciences and the natural Tongues and Languages and the natural Arts and natural Philosophy for the natural Jews and Pilate could set their natural Tongues which begun at Babel upon Christ and yet Crucifie him And the Whore of Babylon and Confusion the Mother of Harlots she hath Power over the natural Tongues that is whored from the Spirit of God and so these natural men with these natural things that know nothing but follow their own spirits see not the things of God they are foolishness to them but God is pouring his Spirit upon all natural men upon all Flesh that with his Spirit they may know the things of God and serve and Worship him in Spirit and Truth and know Heavenly Jerusalem their Mother with the Spirit that God pours upon them And John saw the Mother of Harlots Drunk with the Blood of the Saints and Martyrs of Jesus and their Blood was found in the Mother of Harlots the Mystery Babylon the false Church And were not these Saints Martyrs of Jesus and Prophets of Heavenly Jerusalems Children whose Blood was and is Found in the Mother of Harlots the false Church the Mystery Babilon Rev. 17.18 He that was Born after the Flesh persecuted him that was Born after the Spirit even so it is now and the Children of new Jerusalem that is above and is your Mother they and their Mother never persecuted any But the Mother of Mystery Babylon and of Harlots she and her Harlots were and are the persecutors in whom is found the Blood of the Righteous viz. The free Born Children of Jerusalem from above G. F. How all Nations may see with the Light the Life in Christ him the great Mountain that fills the whole Earth COncerning the Stone Cut out of the Mountain without Hands spoke of in Daniel 2. which did dash to pieces the Image whose Head was fine Gold which was Nebuchadnezars and the Babilonians Monarchy and should dash to pieces the Brest and Arms of Silver which was the Meeds and Persians Monarchy and likewise it should dash to Pieces the Belley and Thighes of Brass which was the Grecians Monarchy and the Legs of Iron and his Feet part of Iron and part of Clay which was the Romans Monarchy So all these four Monarchies were but one Image the Head was Gold and the Brest and Arms Silver and the Belley and Thighes Brass and his Legs Iron and his Feet part of Iron and part of Clay and this same Stone Cut out of the Mountain break the Image of Iron Clay Silver Brass and Gold to pieces and they become like unto the Chaff of the Summer Threshing-floor and the Wind carried them away that no place was found for them So here was the end of these four Monarchies and the Stone that Smote the Image became a great Mountain and filled the whole Earth And in the Dayes of these Kings or four Monarchies shall the God of Heaven set up a Kingdom which shall never be destroyed and the Kingdom shall not be left to others but it shall Consume and Destroy all these Kingdoms and it shall stand for ever and of his Kingdom there shall be no end Dan. 2. and Luke 1.33 Now is not this Stone Christ that becomes a great Mountain and fills the whole Earth and did not he come in the dayes of these four Monarchies who dashed them to pieces and set up his Kingdom and did not Christ say when he was come My Kingdom is not of this World and also did not he say All Power in Heaven and Earth is given unto me Now Christs Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom that shall never be Destroyed but shall stand for ever and his Kingdom stands in Righteousness and Power and Peace and Joy in the Holy Ghost and Christ said to Nicodemas Except a Man be Born again he cannot see the Kingdom of God and again he saith to him Except a Man be Born again of Water and of the Spirit he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God John 3. And also the Apostle saith That none that is Defiled or Vnclean shall enter into the Kingdom of God and Christ and the Natural Man knowes not the things of God they are foolishness to him So this everlasting Kingdom of God which was set up above Sixteen Hundred years ago which shall never have end for no unclean or defiled Person can enter into it nor none can see it nor enter into it except they be Born again of Water and of the Spirit though this everlasting Kingdom stands and remains over all and the unclean and defiled cannot enter into it and they that are not Born again cannot enter into it nor see it so they are not like to destroy this everlasting Kingdom it remains firm and will never have an End though the unclean and defiled and them that are not Born again do not see it yet John saith in Rev. 1.9 He was in the Kingdom and Patience of Jesus Christ And the Apostle told the Saints that they were delivered from the power of Darkness and translated into the Kingdom of his dear Son And was not this while they were upon the Earth Col. 1.13 So these were Born again and Christ saith The Law and the Prophets were until John and he was the greatest Prophet Born of a Woman but the Least in the Kingdom
