be ruler over kings, and to destroy with the sword all his enemies.-False Doctrine, 38. Mark what is said of my SERVANT: "A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: He shall bring forth judgment unto truth; He shall not fail nor be discouraged, tilf he have set judgment in the earth; and the isles shall wait for his law." Now, from this, it is mentioned my SERVANT; in the other, the RIGHTEOUS MAN, that these things are to be done by; then know, these promises and their fulfilment must be accomplished by the Son of GOD. Here the SON is called the SERVANT,- that shall set judgment in the earth, and the isles shall wait for his law. I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light to the Gentiles.-False Doctrine, 40, 41. "He shall set up an ENSIGN for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah, from the four corners of the earth." Now, from these words of the prophet, let them see how the Jews are scattered, and how they stand; and let them discern my promises to gather them together in the end, when they begin to look unto ME whom they have pierced.-C. with the Worldly Wise, II. 24. The witnesses spoken of are but Two; the ONE was fulfilled when our Saviour shed his blood for the transgression of man, that they might look unto him from the ends of the earth and be saved; and his coming again in power to cast out the adversary, that betrayed the woman, is the OTHER; and these two must be joined together, to bring the olive branch of peace to man.-A. to Paine, 49. "Then shall they see the sign of the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.-1 B. of Wonders, 37. Here were things spoken of Cyrus, as a SHADOW then to the Jews; but the SUBSTANCE remains for the end.-L. to the Clergy, 57. L. to the Clergy, 64. I speak to Gentiles and to Jews: The MOTHER she must first appear To bring the ISAAC,-men, see clear. As the year ended to thee, with a sparkling lustre round the sun, too bright for thy eyes to look into ; and as the sun arose the next morning with a sparkling lustre of light; perfectly so thou wilt find the event of this year will happen to thee and true believers.-Wisdom, 3. For what at first was lost by Adam's fall, Look deep to Abraham, and behold the call,- And so in ISAAC every land shall feel The promis'd blessings I have now in store. Wisdom, 34. They will find the ensuing year such a year, as Í told thee before, as was never seen in England, since it was a nation, to have the true meaning of the Scriptures to be brought forward and proved to men.-Wisdom, 46. I shall set this sign to the Jews, whereby they shall know whether my GOSPEL is true or not. For, like Joseph, was my life sought by them, and, like Joseph, I was separated from them; but now, like Joseph, will I make myself known unto them, by signs and wonders that I shall set before them. This year, in the sixty-fifth year of thy age, thou shalt have a Son, by the power of the MOST HIGH, which if they receive as their Prophet, Priest, and King, then I will restore them to their own land, and cast out the heathens for their sakes, as I cast out them when they cast out me, by rejecting me as their Saviour, Prince, and King, for which I said I was born, but not at that time to establish my kingdom.—3 B. of Wonders, 4. E The concluding passage has been inserted as being the subject whereon the whole of the foregoing collection depend, and have reference to; being also the key to unlock the scripture prophecies concerning the restoration of the Jews to their own land, and the re-establishment of the throne of David, preparatory to the glorious appearance of our Saviour, to cast out the prince of this world, and to establish his kingdom of peace upon earth for one thousand years. But for further information upon this point, the Third Book of Wonders is particularly recommended to all candid inquirers after truth, as furnishing topics worthy of their most serious attention. REMARKS. HAVING brought together the principal prophecies concerning the CHILD that was to be born, but never understood till this revelation was given, in what manner he should be born; I shall now bring forward some of the prophecies, which were given to shew how great the rage and fury would be in men when this was made known. "The living waters are the living stream, That like a fountain will come from on high; And as 'tis flowing, sin will sure abound; They'll foam with fury, and the truth you'll see." How true I have found these words by experience! as I am now compelled to flee, not only from the face of my enemies, but from my friends likewise, to conceal myself in a place of safety, where I am not known by any person; and my name I am obliged to conceal, to preserve my life from malicious and inveterate enemies, who threatened to set the house on fire where I lived, and to take my life if they by any means could get me in their power. This my friends have heard them say, that their determination was to seek my life. As my enemies mock me, they mock the Scriptures likewise; then what can I expect from such men, if I fall into their hands? but this proves the truth of the following words: "It is with Hell thou dost contend, For he in man doth speak; And angels here do now appear, So both are come the ranks to join, S. E. of F. Continuation, 103. Were not Satan to speak in men, such blasphemy would never be spoken, as I am now informed is spoken against my visitation, against the Scriptures, and against the Gospel; for all are condemned together in the same manner. This sheweth how infidelity is increasing, and how Satan is blinding the eyes of mankind. Concerning those men, who said that they would not let me live to see whether the Child was born or not, I was answered in the following manner. "Without the devil's speaking in men, to set them on with rage and fury, such expressions would not be made by men, as have been made concerning thee, so eagerly to seek thy life to destroy it. Because in men there is a curiosity wrought by nature; and from that curiosity they would wish to see thee live, to pass the time wherein it is said the Child will be born, so that they might have room to mock, without being put to shame and confusion, if no Child is born as mentioned by thee. But, on the other hand, so extraordinary an event to happen in the land, as never took place before, in any age of the world, the curiosity of men would make them long to see it, and what should follow such an extraordinary birth. "Here I have shewn thee what men are, as men, and what would be the language of their hearts, as men, wishing to preserve thy life, to see the effects of this extraordinary visitation that thou hast so published to the world. But how different from men dost thou now see thy enemies! No desire to come to the knowledge of the truth; but with rage and fury wishing to destroy the truth! And this is malice worked on by the devil; so that they may see the truth of the Gospel before them for as my enemies were worked on by the devil, when I became flesh and dwelt with men ; perfectly so it is now I am come to visit in the spirit, to bring in my kingdom that I died to redeem. But know what I said of my second coming, and the enmity that would then be kindled, and how offences would arise; and now let them look to the Revelations of John, chapter xii. and then they may see how the Dragon, which is the devil, is now working in the hearts of men to stand before the woman to destroy her child, as soon as it is born, if no place of safety can be found for him. Then I ask such men, who give themselves up wholly to the wiles of the devil, with malice and fury, what but a rod can they expect? But let no man simply suppose, because it is said he rules the nations with a rod of iron, that it will be with a rod of cruelty unto any that love his appearing : but, as iron is strong, so will his strength be; and as iron will not break, so will he prove that my words cannot be broken; and that my mercies endure for ever unto them that love my name. This is the rod of my strength, like a rod of iron, that will not be broken, but establish my kingdom |
