Independant and baptized Ministers here the ministry changed as the moon yet God in his free grace was pleased in all the times of the Apostacy still to appear enlightning the world by the ministry of men in some dark discoveries of himself But when Christ shall appear the second time when the day of Christ shall dawn after the night of Apostacy is ended when the day of God shall be again and God shall appear the second time binding up the breath of his people and healing the wound that was made by that spirit of Antichrist prevailing in the church then the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun and the light of the sun shall be as the light of seven daies that is there will be a perfect light for God shall appear to be the light of men as Christ was ever indeed the light of the world and God in truth was the light of men from the beginning shining in darkness though the darkness did not comprehend it and though men did not know God in them to be their only light but as I said God shall appear in the last daies to be the light of men then men and ministers shall be no more the means of light the sun shall be no more thy light by day neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee but the Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting light and thy God thy glory Thy sun shall no more go down neither shall thy moon withdraw it self but the Lord shall be thine everlasting light and the daies of thy mourning shall be ended as mourning was Babylons plague the judgement of the great Whore so thou shalt never mourn for want of a minister for the Lord God in thee shall minister light unto thee men and ministers may go down yea the sun may set at noon-day and there may be a withdrawing of all light and all left in darkness but in darkness the Lord will be thy light as well as when thou art in clearest light when thy light shall be the Lord God in thee then God thy Sun shall not go down and God thy Moon shall not be withdrawn yea God shall appear not only thy light but the light of the world the light of every man and the light of every creature thou shalt then clearly see the invisible things of God even the eternal Power and Godhead in the whole creation ' and no more sun or moon shining in the heaven but God ' himself shining in both and his glory filling the earth also and every thing in heaven and earth as the appearance of God This is that fire that burns not only churches but every creature in heaven and earth God appearing in all This is the fire which all the Prophets and Apostles speak of to come in the last daies this fire came down at the first coming of Christ in spirit when the spirit when God in power first appeared in the Gospel-church then the church under the Law the Jewish church was burn up the sun was turned to darkness and the moon to bloud all the glory and light of the Law was darkned the Temple Priesthood Sacrifices and all their Ordinances were change and became as bloud So the same signes in heaven above and signes on the earth beneath shall be again in kingdoms and churches also bloud and vapour and smoak all this was in spirit then performed it shall again be so fulfilled with greater power when the appearance of the great God shall be this fire even God himself that consuming fire and everlasting burnings shall not only burn up churches and the flesh or the Whore but the purest flesh of men and pride of all glory when God our glory shal appear as the glory of heaven and his glory the fulness of the earth then all the works on the earth shall be burnt up with fire as all the works of man shall be burnt up in God that is as now we see the works of men and not God working all in all so now we see only the outward forms of the creation every creature being that form of God but when we shall see God all in all we shall never see no more forms of creatures or churches FINIS
