Here is something following of a VISION And a few words of Prophecy concerning the fall of BABYLON, And destruction of her People, this signifies the time at hand, therefore I warn all in the fear of the Lord to turn from the evil of their ways. The 4th. of the 7th. month 1663. ABout the tenth hour in the morning, as I was at my Employments, the glory of the Lord God shined round about me, and I was taken so with the glory of God, that I beheld no other thing, and in that I laid me down a little while flat upon the floor, and after a little time, I saw beneath this, a great Pit, out of which there arose a mighty great smoke, and all the Inhabitants of the earth was even ready to join hand in hand together, and out of the Pit arose a mighty great power, after which power the Inhabitants of the earth went forth, and followed it to their destruction: So this is a great day that the glory of the Lord doth so gloriously appear, that it even covereth the whole earth, and as this day is great and the glory of it is greater, so as no mortal eyes can behold it, so will the days be that is coming upon the earth, when this glory shall be hid in God from the eyes of all men: then shall woe, lamentations and wail be upon all people who refuseth to receive the Lord of glory in this his day, for this is a day that he proffers himself to dwell with the Sons and daughters of men, and this is to all you who refuse to receive the Lord of life and glory, a great day of gloominess and thick darkness is ready to come over you, then O your wailing, O your mourning, and O your lamentations, that you had made better use of the days and time that you had upon the earth, when the Lord Christ Jesus preached himself in your streets, and in your highways in and through his Servants and handmaids, whom he had made choice of to preach the everlasting Gospel of glad tidings; but you would not believe though the noise of wisdom was oft heard in your streets, Market places and Steeple houses, now what pity and compassion shall I take over you O you Sons and daughters of Adam, Oh my bowels within me is filled with pity and compassion that you would yet return whiles there is a little space and a little time before the glory withdraw itself from you. This I was made to do some days after I saw this thing. From a Lover of Truth, Lewis Rogers. A Salutation, and Revelation of God, unto His seed, Concerning his People which he hath chosen unto himself. THis hath often been sounded in my heart, and many deep and serious queries have there been made by the spirit of life in my heart, and now hath the Lord answered, and now with force and commission from the Lord, am I made to publish it and declare it and to sound it forth: This hath the Lord often spoken concerning his people, you are mine saith the Lord, and I will be your God for ever, and you will I keep hide and preserve in the day that is coming, I will cover you, yea I will hide you from the eyes of all that rise up in opposition against you, for verily you are mine saith the Lord, and I have wooed you unto myself and I will be your God for ever therefore fear not O ye little flock, yea I say fear not, yea it is the Father's will to suffer this day to come to pass, but he will preserve ye and safe keep ye in the day which is hasting. O dear Lambs, lift up your heads and rejoice, for the glorious day of Zions King is come, and he hath adorned himself with glory and beauty, and he is going forth to gather unto himself all that will be saved, therefore Oh rejoice and be exceeding glad, for the glory of the Lord is come into Zion yea verily the glory of the Lord is appearing and is revealing and manifesting itself, therefore ye dear lambs and babes of the heavenly Father, whom God hath called, and chosen to himself, to bear his name amongst a crooked and perverse generation, in that I say rejoice and be exceeding glad, that you are found worthy to bear the name of the Lord in this his great and mighty day, for verily a great and mighty day is coming, yea verily the Lord hath spoken it in my heart, and I dare do no other than to publish it, yea a day of great joy to the righteous, but a day of fury and indignation unto the wicked, and all that dealeth treacherously with the Lord, for it is such a day that hath not been known in many ages or generations past, which now the Lord is revealing, but yet the wicked will not believe, but unto you its given to believe the mystery of the kingdom, you I say who are called and chosen of the Lord, and are come to believe in the light of the Covenant of life, Christ Jesus, whom the father hath revealed and is revealing in this his day of great and mighty power, by which power the earth shall be shaken and the heavens shall melt, and all shall be astonished and amazed at the work which the Lord is bringing to ●ou, yea the Heathen shall know that they are my people, and I will destroy all that rise up against them saith the Lord, yea all nations shall know that they are my people and that I will preserve them unto myself: Therefore in vain doth the Heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things, for it's I the Lord that will work a work in your days, that you will in no wise believe, though an Angel from heaven did bring the message unto you, but this am I doing I am destroying Babylon, and building up the Tower of Zion and it shall stand for ever, therefore in vain do you work, O ye foolish Potsherds of the earth, for it is I the Lord that is a working a great and wondrous work for the deliverance of my people Israel, and the redemption of Zion; for I will in no wise suffer you to destroy them from off the earth sor they are mine saith the Lord, who hath the zeal and testimony of Jesus in their hearts, and the word of Prophecy in their mouths, these are them which I will keep and preserve to the end, to the utter ruin and destruction of all that rise up against them: So dear friends be all bold and valiant in God's cause, in bearing your testimony here upon earth for Jesus, whom ye have received, yea friends I say let noneneglect, for this saith the spirit, be ye all bold and valiant, yea be bold in this God's day in fight God's battle on earth, yea I say not with carnal weapons, but in spirit and in truth, preaching forth the coming of Jesus in your lives and conversations, and the generations to come will glorify God on your behalf; so this is my message unto you all, in the fear and dread of the everlasting God of heaven and earth dwell all in the power of the Lamb of life and dread him over all, yea dread him over all who is come and coming to reign and rule upon earth in the hearts of the children of men, him I say fear, and dread his holy name, and fear not man whose breath is in his nostrils, but fear the Lord ye dear lambs and babes of the heavenly father, This is my Salutation unto you all as being one with you in the Spirit and life which is not of this world, dwell in the spirit and power which hath begotten you, and the Lord of power will be with you and keep you and preserve you to the end. So dear and precious Friends the peace of the Lord be with you all, continue and abide for ever, so farewell. Bristol the 6th, of the 8th, month. L. R. Printed for M. W.
