The day dawned both to Jews and Gentiles, and clear discoveries of light and righteousness; the bright and moning star appearing Jacob wrestled with the angel until the break of the day, and would not let him go until he blessed him.

the Lord is gathering all Nations inone place of Worship into his own Spirit the Spirit of Truth as he saith such Worshippers is my Father seeking to worship him and in the beginning of the first creation he said Let the Waters be gathered into one place so the people are the Waters which are to be gathered into one place of Worship And John saw the numberly number that stood upon Mount Sion of all Nations and he saith I heard the sound of many Waters as of a great people with Harps harping with their harps and they sung a new song which none could learn but they that followed he Lamb these were the redeemed of God which were brought home these sung before his Throne who lived for ever who had their Names written in Heaven these Reigned with the Lamb over the Beast and over his power these were sealed with the Seal of God in their foreheads and in their right hand they stood upon the Sea of Glass mingled with fire and John said I hear as it were the sound of a Trumpet it talking with me so all the redemed comes to hear as well as John the sound of the Trumpet it of God sounding from heaven in them that Trumpet sounded clearer and clearer which is the way of the Bridegroom talking with them who are his true Spouse as a man talketh with his friend So they come to the Ministration of the Spirit unto the ministration of Angels he saith Come let us reason together and Abraham reasoned with the Lord and convened with the Lord unto whose house the Angels came and the Lord saith shall I do any thing and hide it from my servant Abraham so all that truly serve the Lord and fear the Lord they are of the faithful Generation of Abraham and shall be accounted to the Lord for a Generation yea his Seed shall serve him the chosen Seed unto whom the promise is so they shall be a numberless number that shall come from the four Winds of the Earth and hasten to the Holy City whose Gates are not shop by day nor by night but yet the unclean cannot enter therein none but the redeemed the washed and purified by the Spirit of Judgment and burning them that do pass through the Rivers of Judgment that do pass through Jordan such enter the good Land and know Judgment brought forth into Victory so the Lamb and the Lyon comes to lie down together and the little child shall lead them so they come to be lead by Christ their leader they are little children in Christ he that would be greatest amongst his Disciples must become as this little child as Christ himself saith so they must be led by him as those little children that cannot go of themselves nor are not able to do any thing without him as he saith unto Peter Once thou girdest thy self and wentest whither thou wouldest but another shall gird thee and thou shalt be led whither thou would not so he leads his into a daily cross and self-denial Christ saith if any man will follow after me and be my Disciple he must first deny himself and take up his daily cross and follow me a cross to the carnal mind which stands in death and enmity to the pure appearance of the Lord Jesus Christ So to be carnally minded is death but to be Spiritually minded is life and peac Sow to the Spirit that you may reap life for if ye sow to the flesh you will reap the wages of sin and death but all that come to the gift of God which is Life and Truth and receive it in the love of it they come to be set free by it and if the Truth set you free then are you free indeed no more children of the Bondwoman but of the Freewoman which brings forth the Heir of life the Son of Righteousness which she comes to be clothed with and to have the Moon under her Feet she is clothed with his Righteousness with the Righteousness of Faith which speaketh on this wise Justification by Jesus Christ Abraham by Faith was justified and his Faith was imputed to him for Righteousness so every one that is a child of Faith they are of Abraham's seed according to promise they feel their Faith speaking to them better things than the bloud of Abel so they grow up in Faith and from Faith to Faith and from strength to strength and so at last they meet with the Lord in Sion where they behold the King in his beauty and these come to say How beautiful are thy Tents O Israel how excellent are the dwellings of Jacobs O Israel who is like to thee a People saved of the Lord and this shall be the Song that shall be heard in the Land of Judea we have a strong City for which God hath appointed salvation for Walls and for Bulworks a City that hath foundations whose Builder and Maker is God The God of Abraham and of Israel Hath caused us in pleasant Tents to dwell Abraham was perfect he was in his Tent when the Angel to him God then had sent Jacob a plain man dwelt in Tents Therefore O Israel hasten in within thy Tent And stand within thy Tent door that the Angels of God thou mayest see come in unto thee When they do glad tidings brings That thou may'st Hallelujah sing for evermore For such redemption is drawing nigh That the redeemed shall sing on high Yea their peace shall so increase They shall make sweet melody So turn into your strong hold ye Prisoners of hope hold fast your Hope Faith and Confidence which Anchors go in him that is the Rock which the Storms never did nor never can nor never shall more that it may be known you are the mans building that the Rain nor Storms could not beat down because it was grounded upon the Rock then you will come to say and experience that Greater is he that is in you than he that is without you or he that is in the World so the Prince of this World cometh to try and to sift your Building but all that are anchored in the Rock in Christ Jesus who did conquer and overcome and was made perfect through suffering so all that are in him shall be made more than Conquerours through his love this is their victory even their Faith by which they overcome the World the Flesh and the Devil so by Faith Noah entred into the Ark which by Faith he had built so all ye that have built this day the Ark of God's Covenant by Faith and are entred into it will have a safe hiding place within the rock an hiding place which is sure for ever and all who are without this who are not so surely builded the Flouds is coming that will wash them away and quite beat down their building such will be seen to be the foolish builders whose house is upon the sands where no foundation can be laid and blessed is that man whose God is
THE Day DAWNED BOTH TO JEWS AND GENTILES And Clear Discoveries of LIGHT AND Righteousness The Bright and Morning STAR Appearing Jacob wrestled with the Angel until the breaks of the day and would not let him go until he blessed him Printed in the Year 1684. The Day dawned both to Jews and Gentiles and clear discoveries of Light and Righteousness IN the Beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God and the same was with him in the Beginning by it was all things made that was made and without it was nothing made that was made so without him their is nothing can be made as he said without me ye can do nothing so then it is by Grace in Jesus Christ that Salvation cometh for by Grace are ye saved as he saith unto Paul My Grace is sufficient for thee so Grace and Truth came by Jesus Christ the Lord of Glory in whom all Glory endeth unto whom all Glory is returned and ascribed unto him who siâ—teth upon the Throne who liveth for ever before whom the four and twenty Elders and Beast fell down and Worshipped God saying Worthy worthy is the Lord God and the Lamb and to receive all Power Honour Glory Might Majesty and Dominion be given unto him that liveth for ever and for ever more not unto us beause we can do nothing but all honour unto him because he can do all things who created all things by the Word of his Power which word breathed into Man the breath of Life in the beginning and the word is Life and in it is the Light of Men and the Light is perfect and cometh from above from the Father of Lights and as the Father hath Life in himself so he hath given the Son to have life in himself and whosoever believe in the Son hath Eternal Life in him and he that hath not the Son hath not Life but I am come that ye may have Life and that ye may have it more abundantly that your joy may be full that ye may know Life and Immortality brought to light By him that is true is the perfection of Beauty who is the Glory of all Nations unto him shall the gathering of all Nations be that they may see him in his shinings of whom the Prophets have foretold and behold it is now come to pass his coming was prophesied of that he should come in and with his thousands and ten thousands with his innumerably companies and Troups and Armies of Saints and Angels and the Armies that are in Heaven follow him who rideth on his White Horse whose face is as lightning and his Raiment as white as Snow who hath a Rainbow about his Head and now he is come to Reign and to sit on the Throne he that was dead is now alive he lives for evermore he that saith Behold I come quickly and I will not tarry and for the cry of the Poor and the sighing of the needy I wil arise saith the Lord of Hosts I have heard I have heard the cries of my Afflicted I have heard I have heard the groaning of the oppressed and I am coming down to deliver because the cries of Sion as unto me the cries of the travelling ones whose pains shall hasten deliver and because this is her cry How long Lord holy and true art thou arise and avenge our cause on them that dwell on the Earth also this was the cry of the slain that lay under the Altar that was slain and filled all the day long these had the Testimony of Jesus these were beheaded for it these had no other head but Christ these were hidden in him and he was head over them and all that did Reign as head over them were taken away So Christ in them was the Supreme Authority he Reigned King in his Kingdom where the Kingdoms of the World are become the Kingdom of God and his Christ and he is become all and all in them These are the true Spouse that is coming up out of the Wilderness leaning upon the breast of her beloved and indeed there is no other to be leaned upon besides him upon whom help is laid he hath laid help on him that is mighty and whither shall we go but unto him Thou hast the word of Eternal life the word of life and peace that satisfieth the disquieted Soul for it is he that dissolves the doubts by the sweet incomes of his love and sweet distilling Showers from above by his former and latter Rain and blessed are all they that feel and enjoy it yea most of all happy and crowned for ever shall they be that dwell in his love O what shall I say there is not greater love more enduring love more constraining love confirming love it confirms and establisheth that heart that feels it they can say O God my heart is fixed in thee and upon thee not in the form but in the power of God such are fixed Stars fixed in the Firmament of God's power shining Stars some greater and some lesser every one in its Degree and Order the wise Creator hath fixed them in the Firmament of his glorious power such come to shine above the Word above the dark forms of the World in the Firmament of the Heavens in Paradise Again where God hath Planted them as in that day wherein the Morning Stars did sing together and the Sons of God shouted for joy there was a mutual harmony an Angelical harmony an innocent harmony all must be brought unto this into Innocency into Joy and Humility as the Angels in Heaven so God will make up his Church of such Jewels as he will compleat and bind them up in the bond of Peace and covenant of Love out of all strife he will redeem them and from amongst men And the numberless number which John saw on Mount Sion of all Nations Kindreds Tongues and People which were to be brought there which God is bringing to pass in this our day yea of all Nations and of all sorts of People the Lord is now gathering as a Shepherd gathers his Sheep together and brings them to their Fold so is Christ the true Shepherd bringing all the true Jews to the Heavenly Jerusalem from above not onely into one form but into the heavenly power and heavenly life of Jesus where they shall sing Hallelujah with the Lord God and the Lamb who hath redeemed them and such as are redeemed by his power and washed by the word of Regeneration who are made white in the Bloud of the Lamb who are come to the Bloud of Sprinkling and to know their Conscience washed from dead works these come again to serve the living God and worship him in the beauty of holiness in the light of Righteousness into it must the Nations be gathered the Nations of them that are saved must walk in the light of the Lord and of the Lamb in the Light of the Holy City in the Light of the New Jerusalem and
