The Revelation

March 24. [Margin note: A fresh Prophetical opening upon this subject.] A further Addition to the former Subject. Know then, that as in a miraculous way, This will be made as healing Waters from out of the Threshold of the Sanctuary, that shall recover the dry and parched Earth, to make it bud and flourish, as it did before the Curse did overflow it: Take it either inwardly, as to spiritual Fruitfulness; or otherwise, as to the outward Elementary state. Great also will be the Trust that will be granted by the mighty Jehovah, for management hereof for his little Flocks sake: and put into the Hands of some that are to be set apart, as good and principal Shepherds indeed; who can both let out, and lay down their Life for the elect Sheep, which are to be gathered in, not by Sounds, or Words; but by Magical Impregnation, which can send in a Breath of Life, to quicken what is as dead. This is now what we are in a daily expectation of from the rich Furniture, which will come down with the Tabernacle-Body. Oh come holy Souls! And let us be in a watchful posture: For I do see in Spirit, that the Morning of this Day begins apace to clear; the bright Clouds do open; the face of our Heavens appear; the separating Vail is all rending away; that out of the first Tabernacle we may pass, and within the most Holy Place fixedly stay. Where we shall have no cause to fear, that God will henceforth move away; because we our selves shall be brought up to that height of Purity, that all Offerings shall be most pleasant and powerful, from the everlasting Flame of the Holy Altar; from whence ascending Powers will go up, to bring down such Gifts as will all abundantly enrich, more than came down in the day of Pentecost. For they were but the first Fruits; and did but continue a little while: But here is such a Shower of the Eternal Powers to fall down upon this Second Call to the Jerusalem-waiters; as shall bring forth the Harvest of the Lord’s Joy; whose Spirit, for the ripening of these Fruits doth work most powerful. What is to be done by us? but only to drink in the falling Dews, and dropping Showers, and to grow as Lilies that may know neither Heat nor Drought, Toil nor Care. Hasten, O God! And send thy Angel Reapers, for some Fields do begin to look White; whose ripe Fruits may into thy Store-house be brought as the first Offerings, for the consummating of all those great and mighty things, which thou hast taught us in this little Volum of thy Life Book! ? [After this ought to follow from the Author’s Diary, Vol. III. Part II. p. 233, What is there Inserted of a further Revelation, being Dated April 14. 1680. which will afford some Light to the Divine Communion ensuing.]
