AN ALARM Sounded forth from the Lord God of Vengeance unto England's Rulers, Mayors, Magistrates, and Unjust Judges, who are found Oppressors of the Seed and Heritage of God: For whose sakes the Lord God is risen to plead, and suddenly will bring Destruction on them all, if they repent not; and this I publish in God's Authority. HOwl, howl, howl, ye Inhabitants of the Earth; for the voice of God's thunders are gone forth against you, and the Lord God is risen in Jealousy to plead by the Sword of his Eternal Power, and all must know the fire of the Lord God's Indignation to pass over them, who are found this day opposing the work of the Lord God, who will work and none shall let him, who shall work and none shall hinder him; And blessed are all who are found clear of oppressing the work of the Lord; for verily on whom the Stone falls on, it shall grind him to powder; and whosoever falleth upon it shall be broken in pieces. And God hath determined the deliverance of his own Seed, which trusteth in his name; and for their sakes the Lord God, who is a consuming fire, will break forth suddenly, to the utter ruin and destruction of all his enemies, and all shall burn as an Oven; for God is kindling of a fire among the Briers and Brambles of the Earth, an utter consumption is coming upon them all: As God brought the Flood in Noah's days upon the world for the wickedness thereof, even so is the Lord bringing of an overflowing scourge, which shall sweep away the Wicked by the Besom of his own destruction. woe unto the World, and all that are found therein, Judgement is begun already at the House of God, and who shall abide the day of his coming, wherein he will set as with Finers fire; then shall the heavens pass away as a scroll, with lightning, with thundering, and with earthquakes; then shall the elements melt with fervent heat; then shall every man's works be tried by fire; and this the Trumpet of the Lord of Hosts which is blown to you all, dread, fear and tremble before the terrible God, who will shake both heaven and earth, who removeth the foundations thereof; and verify the Lord God will roar out of Zion with a voice of terrible thunder, and at the sound thereof all the beasts of the field shall tremble; For this is the day of the Lord God, wherein he will shake the kingdoms of darkness, and the powers thereof shall fall, and the Lord only shall be exalted over all: and again will he dash the potshards of the earth to pieces; and this day is at hand wherein Overturning, Overturning shall come from the mighty hand of the Lord, and such a down fall is near, as never was the like in the Nation of England; this is the Lord's bringing to pass, that all may know, that only he alone reigneth over all, who hath power to do whatsoever he will; then shall all know that God is in the midst of the most contemptible, despised remnant, who are not counted worthy to live upon the earth; but blessed are they from the Lord God, and they shall be blessed, although all the enchanters of Egypt study mischief against the Israel of God, yet their divinations shall not hurt Jacob, nor the enchantments prosper against Israel the called of God, none shall be like unto them; yea, they shall shine in glory, to the tormenting of Egypt's Dogs, who are barking and biting, who are like Wolves, tearing and renting the Lambs of the Fold of God's everlasting rest, but they cannot rend them from the rest, not pluck them from the Fold, neither can they take any of them out of the hands of the good Shepherd, who watcheth over his both night and day; for the Wolf cometh in the night, so the Wolves are in the night. The Dogs are in the darkness, and for mad they by't, being set on fire from hell, who are subjects of the Prince of Darkness, which is the Captain whom they follow, who is the King of the bottomless pit, who hath now sent forth his messengers, with all the wise men of Egypt, who are seeking for the Manchild to destroy it; but it is hidden from them all, so all that they shall slay and destroy is but the Firstborn of Egypt, which is the son of perdition, which is to be drawn in the gulf of misery. And this is the day when God's work doth prosper, and his truth shall spread and increase, and thousands shall be gathered unto it, and many shall come from the East and from the West, and shall walk in the Light of the Lord God, whose day shall be glorious, to the astonishment of the Nations, and never did the sons of Adam since the beginning ever see the like glory which the Lord God is now revealing, shall shine over all, at whose bright appearance mountains shall fall, and the hills shall melt at the dreadful presence of the living God, whose glory shall burn through all the clouds, and the rising of the Sun shall make them all to vanish; so glorious, so excellent shall be the day of God, that none shall be able to abide it, but they that can dwell with everlasting burn; then shall Gods enemies fall, then shall his power and his glory shine over all; then shall his throne be established on the tops of the Mountains, and all shall cast down their Crowns before him; then shall the Kingdoms of the World become the Kingdoms of God, then shall hallelujahs be sung over all by the redeemed of the Lord; and now is the shout of a King gone forth, founding this Alarm unto all England's Rulers, Mayors, and Magistrates, Justices and Judges, proclaiming the day of the Lord which is coming on them all: Fear, tremble and dread the living God from whom this is sent, and published By me Dorothy White.
