A VISITATION OF Heavenly Love UNTO The SEED of JACOB yet in Captivity; to whom the Love of the Lord is, who is Gathering, and will Gather it, for it belongs unto Him.  
THe Shout of a King is gone forth out of his holy Mountain, and the voice of a Mighty Prophet is descending through the earth, whose voice is as a mighty Thunder, Sounding forth the Day of the Lord God which is at hand; and the voice of the terrible God is heard in his Holy Mountain, at the sound of which, the inhabitants of the earth Fear and Tremble, for the word of the Lord God is quick and powerful, and this descends with a voice of terror to the wicked, and this speaketh not peace to the ungodly, but the voice of our beloved is terrible unto the unrighteous part.  
And in that day wherein God appeareth first, is a day of bitter Lamentation; and this all men must know, before they know him that bringeth Salvation; for as the lightning cometh out of the East, and shineth to the West, even so is the coming of the Son of Man in this the day of his Power; whose coming is already known, who is come to Judgement, and to Judge both the Quick and the Dead, and to Raise to Life again, that which hath been Dead; for Death hath reigned over all men from Adam until Moses, and Moses served God, and he was a Servant, and yet a Prophet, and he Prophesied, and he talked with God in the Holy Mount that burned with fire, out of which fire God Spoke; And he that dwelleth in Everlasting Burn, hath now revealed his Will by his own Son, that he hath manifested in his people; for now God hath revealed his Son in these last days, as in Generations past; and he that Revealeth the Will of the Father, dwelleth in him, and the fullness of the Father dwelleth in the Son; And he that hath the Son, hath the Father also: And this is he that hath brought Salvation by his own Arm of Power; and this is he that came down from Above, which is the the Living Bread of Life, the Living Word, by which the Heavens were Created, and the Earth was Form, the Word became Flesh, and it dwelled in the Sons of Men; the Word that quickeneth, and giveth life into the Soul, the living Virtue that God Breatheth forth upon his own begotten: The Living Nourishment that descends down daily, is only that which giveth Life, the Word of Life, that Nourisheth up unto Eternal Life.  
And so all are to come to the Word of Life in themselves, the Word that begetteth again out of Transgression, which Word leadeth again unto the Father, and Reneweth all that do Believe, into his Heavenly Image, and Divine nature of Love, as before the World began; for God is now bringing forth his own Likeness, and his own Image, in his Sons and Daughters; and he is Creating a New in Christ Jesus, all that do believe.  
And so that which was before the World began, God is bringing forth, and this must endure for ever, when the world shall be no more; and so to the end of the world all must come to that which was in the beginning; he is the Beginning and the End; the First and the Last.  
And so the end of all things is at hand; and all must come to know an end of the first Covenant which was made with Hell and Death, which Christ, the everlasting Covenant of Life, and of Light, is come to break and and make void; and he was given for a Light unto the Gentiles, and to be God's Salvation unto the ends of the Earth; and so he that believeth in the Covenant of Life, is lead again unto God  
This is the acceptable Day of the Lord God, wherein he is come to gather together his Remnant, and to seek the lost Sheep of the House of Israel; and this is to all, who are yet scattered upon the barren Mountains, who are seeking rest; the Lord God of Heaven, and of Earth is calling out of his holy Mountains, and the Trumpet of the Lord God is sounding, to gather the Nations together, that they may come in again unto the Shepherd of Israel; who feedeth his Sheep himself with indurable bread of life, who watereth them with the Rivers of his pleasure, who hath se● the Fountain open, whose Streams are as clear as Crystal, and out of the Throne of God the do proceed: So all come to the Fountain of Life, the Lord God is now opening freely, and is giving abundantly of his Heavenly Treasure, and he is filling of his Vessels with new Wine, and he is pouring forth of his Spirit upon his Sons and Daughters: and this is the day of the Lord God wherein he is fulfilling his promise, and many can seal unto it; for this is the glorious day wherein the Lord God hath now appeared in excellent brightness, as the breaking forth of the morning, even so is the Lord God appearing; at whose appearance, the Clouds of the night fly, for the Kingdom of God is revealing; which Kingdom consisteth in righteousness, and in peace and Joy in the holy Ghost: For Life and Immortality is brought to Light, through the Gospel which hath been preached, and glad tidings is come upon the Mountains of Israel, and an Alarm is sounded out of Zion, the holy City, the City of the living God, new Jerusalem is come down from Heaven, and all Nations are flowing unto Her, and into the Lords Holy Mountain many must be gathered, for the Mountain of the Lord shall be called the Mountain of Holiness, in which he will dwell for ever, and upon Mount Zion our King shall reign, and of his Government there shall be no end; and this is the Name they shall call him, The Lord our righteousness.  
For this is the great Day of the Lord God, wherein he is come near unto Judgement, and to gather together all Nations on the face of the whole Earth, and to plead with them by the Sword of his Power; and all must know the Sword of the Lord God, to make a separation in their own particulars; they must know the Word that divideth between the clean and the unclean: For verily, there is no coming to eat of the fruit of the Tree of Life, but as all come to feel the Sword of the Lord God to pass through their own particulars; for the Sword is placed to keep the way of the Tree of Life, so that none can come at it, but such as pass through death; and so there is a passage through Death unto Life; and so blessed are all they that Dye in the Lord, that have a part in the first Resurrection, on whom the second death hath no power; there is no Condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit; so he that is crucified with Christ, must reign with him in glory: so all must come to that eternal power that crucifieth the deeds of the Body, that mortifieth the Corruptions; for the fire of the Lord God must pass through the earth, to burn up all Stubble, and Briars, and Brambles that have grown there; for the Earth must be dissolved by fire, and the old Heavens must pass away with a great noise, and the Cup of Trembling must be Drunken, and the Cup of astonishment must be received from the hand of the Lord God; for he will pour out his anger upon his Enemies, and all that which letteth, he will take it out of the way; for the Lord God is come to remove the Mountains, and the Hills tremble before him, and the Sword of his Power is in his hand, and he is come to plead with the Nations: And thus saith the Lord of Host, the Mighty and Terrible God, I am riding swiftly to Battle. I am come to overturn all lofty Mountains, and to lay low all High Places, and to gather together all Potsherds of the Earth, and to dash them one against another; for the Decree of God is gone forth against this Generation, and the Controversy of the Lord is against them, and another overturning is at hand, the Lord of Host hath spoken it, and it shall come to pass in the Lord's Season: For the Lord hath decreed to shake terribly the Earth, that that which cannot be shaken may reign on the top of all: and this is the Day of the Lord God, in which he is come to Rule in the Kingdoms of Men: For Kingdoms shall rise against Kingdoms, and Nation against Nation; and there shall be Wars and Rumours of Wars in the Earth; mark, in the Earth: All must come to know this, for the warfare of the Lamb is begun, and Michael our Prince is Warring with the Dragon and his Power, and he in Heaven, and he that hath an ear to hear, let him hear: For the Dragon must be cast into the Earth; then woe unto the Earth, and the Sea: For the Devil is come down, which rageth exceedingly, because he knoweth he hath but a short time; for after he is thrown out of Heaven into the Earth, and the Sea, than he hath but a short time: And then the Dragon throws out his Floods after the Manchild; and the Sea rageth, and the earth is troubled, and there is woe upon the earth; and this must be known in that day, when the Lord leadeth Israel out of Egypt, unto the Land of Rest, Canaan, that blessed Land which floweth with milk and honey, the Lord God is bringing of many thither: And he is gathering of a Remnant from all Countries, and the sound of the glorious Gospel of Christ hath reached throughout the Earth; at the sound of which all Nations are gathering together, and the Voice of the Living God is gone forth out of his holy Mountain, by which he hath called to all on the face of the whole Earth to come again, and return into the Father's house; and now is the Prodigal saying, I will return in again into my Father's house: For behold, the hired Servants hath bread enough in the Father's house, and all that have been scattered, and are scattered, and driven out from God, to such, I say return, return, for this is the day of the Lord God, wherein he is come to seek, and to gather his scattered Sheep, who are yet upon the barren Mountains, and he is gathering in again into the holy Mountain where he dwelleth himself, and all must come to know the habitation where God dwelleth, which is holy, and undefiled; thus is the Living God Purifying his Temples; and he is making a Glorious Situation, a Heavenly Habitation, and an Everlasting dwelling place in the Sons and Daughters of Men; for God is now come to dwell in his people, as he hath said, I will dwell in them, and I will walk in them, and a people hath God chosen to dwell in, and this is God's everlasting day of loving kindness, and of free Salvation; and this day is breaking through the dark cloudy night that hath been over all Nations; the day springeth from on high, to visit them that sit in Darkness, and in the Region and Shadow of Death; for now the Lord God hath Commanded the Light to Shine out of Darkness, which Light is breaking through in a more clearer Manifestation than it hath in all Generations past; and the Glorious Lord hath now appeared in more Excellent brightness, and more is his Glory seen then in the days of Old: For as the waters cover the Sea, even so the Glory of the Lord covereth the Earth: And this is the begotten of the Father, full of Grace and Truth; its full, for a full Fountain the Lord God hath set open, out of which floweth Heavenly Treasures, out of which floweth the Springs of Life, and Salvation; and the Lord is Showering down his Heavenly Dews upon his Garden, his Paradise; for the Lord God hath again planted his Vineyard upon a high and fruitful Mountain, as in the beginning; and he is watering of it with the Springs of his Pleasure, and of the Heavenly Dew he sendeth down into the low Valleys, whereby the City of God cometh to rejoice; and Heaven and Earth is filled with the good Treasure of God; for God is pouring in of New Wine into his New vessels; for God is giving freely and abundantly, unto all that do believe in his Name, He that believeth in me, saith Christ, In him shall be a Well of Water, springing up unto Eternal Life; and out of his Belly shall flow Rivers of Living Water: And this is known in all that do believe. And from the feeling sense of the working Power of God, and from his own Manifestation I do declare the Truth by the Revelation of the Word of Life. And a greater than Solomon is come; and God hath Revealed the Son of his Love, the Eternal Power, the Wisdom of the Father; and this from him is given, by the flow in of the Power of Life. Given forth for this end to be sent abroad.  
The Powerful, and Eternal Word of the Lord came unto me the 26 day of the 9th month, which word ran through me, which word was as a flame of Fire: and thus saith the Lord God, The holy one of Israel, the mighty God of Jacob; for the shout of a King is gone through the earth, and the mighty day of the Lord God is come, in which he hath made his Eternal power Manifest; and the glorious voice of the Lord hath Preached into the uttermost parts of the Earth, and the Revelation of Jesus Christ, the power of God is Revealed in such as fear the Lord; and his Secrets are Revealed to them that fear him; and this is the day of the Lord God, wherein he is come to Reveal his Will in his people; whose Will is their Sanctification, and to all that do Believe in the Light of the Lord God, and dwell in it; such know the Sanctifying, and the washing by the Blood of Jesus; and such know the Regenerating, and the renewing by which they are baptised into the Death of Christ; and such know the Dying, and such know the Baptism by the Holy Ghost, and by Fire: And this is the Blood of Sprinkling, whereby the Heart cometh to be washed, and the Conscience purged from dead works again to serve the Living God.  
And this is the Baptism that all are to come unto, to know the purging, and to purify by the Spirit of Judgement, and by the Spirit of burning, and this is the Lord bringing many unto; the Living Word, which is quick and powerful, which is living and eternal; which word worketh, and operateth, and createth a new Heaven, and a new Earth, wherein the Righteousness of God is revealed, and that Living and Eternal Power of God worketh continually in all who walk in the Light: For the flying Angel is gone forth, having the everlasting Gospel to Preach to all that dwell on the Earth, crying with a loud voice, and saying, Fear God, and give Glory to his Name, for the hour of his Judgements are come on the Earth. And the Lord God is come not to bring Peace, but a Sword, and the Sword of the Lord Jehovah is drawn, to cut down and destroy the Man of Sin. And the Lord God is setting fire on the earth, to burn up the fruitless Branches thereof, and to Consume the Root and Ground, out of which the evil fruits have been brought forth; and all must feel the fire, and the Sword of the Lord God, which is more Sharper than any two edged Sword, and this must pass through the Hearts of all; and this must separate between that which is holy, and from that which is not holy: For the Living God is come to sit as a Refiners Fire, and like Fuller's Soap, and he is Purifying and Purging his Temple, that he alone may rule and reign therein; and all that is not like unto God he will burn up, and all men's works are to be tried by fire; and all that will not endure the fire, God will not five: For the Hour and Day of Great Tribulation is at hand, wherein God will try the Hearts of all, and of his own Dear Children; I say the Hour of Trial is at hand, and blessed are they that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved▪ For the Lord will once more shake the Kingdoms of the Earth, and that terribly, and not the Earth only, but the Heavens also; and the time of shaking is at hand, and the day draweth nigh, wherein all shall be scattered every one to his own: and then Blessed will they be, and Crowned for ever, with Immortality, and with Life, that dwell in God, that endureth the Trial, and the Hour of Temptation which must come upon all flesh: And such as endure to the end, God will gather together in that Day, when he bindeth up his Jewels: Then shall he spare them as a Man spareth his only Son that serveth him, and God will Crown his own with Honour and Dominion, in the sight of all the World: Therefore lift up your Heads all ye that believe, and shout for joy, and with one consent give praises to God; and Rejoice ye Heavens, and all that dwell therein, for a shout of a great King is going before his Host, and the Lamb is come to reign in his Eternal power over all the World, and in his great Dominion Hallelujah and everlasting praises, and eternal glory be sounded forth out of his Holy Mountain, praises, praises, for ever and ever be unto the Lamb.
