Niy DEAR MISS TOWNLEY, On Sunday Evening after I had sent you the Communication, I sat meditating to myself on the words spoken to me in 1794. 'Tis I that holds thee by the hand, Till stedfastly by faith thou'lt stand, To these words I was answered, Then now thy hand I still shall hold To realms of GLORY and of BLISS, That here below thou cans't not know, For deeper mysteries I shall shew, And now the whole explain. If strong my Love you here did prove, And say, "that ye were worse than He, "He never would my ways condemn'd."- For now I'll tell thee here, When men below my Love do know In all it's power to shine, A heavenly Joy they then will know, And then that Joy they'll find In beauty to appear For then, I say, one heart and mind Will in you all be here, And Joys below in all will flow, As now it flows above. In Realms of Glory none can go To interrupt my Love; But here below, I well do know, Satan stands between; And here your Joys can never flow, Till I do all redeem From Satan's hand, and free my Land · From every Serpent here; And then like saints you all may stand, Like angels to appear; ( 41 ) Enthron'd above they see my Love, The Cause for men I'll surely move, Because for Men I now will stand, And they shall gain the promis'd Land, The promis'd Land you must command, All that was good I made for man, Let men go on as some began And then below mankind will know For Satan's bounds he now shall know: Because that he is fallen, I see, As Adam fell at first. Beyond his bounds he now is found, And so I say he's cast; For I'll not spare the Serpent here, My words and promise I shall clear— Till unaware I do appear To chain the Rebel down; Because his fall, I tell you all, For Adam did repent; But Satan's fury now I see, His mind is fully bent In rage to swell, with pride of Hell His fury doth appear; And now in man I do know well, The Man Child sex سمارت In every man, where he can come, My Kingdom to prevent. Therefore my judgments must go on, The veil from Men to shew them plain For it is Satan work'd in men To make them foes to thee. But simple men, their thoughts are in vain, Their God they do not know. My Kingdom they could ne'er obtain; My Bible proves it so. This way must come, be it known to man, And see my Bible clear: F Against the Woman Satan stands, As so doth now appear. Then know the end must here be come, And altogether weigh; For I shall answer simple men, And boldly to them say The Jews at first on me did burst, By Satan's artful hand; The rage of Hell in them was plac'd, I say, and Feet, the wounds went deep, What men so blind, can Satan find, To prove from Heaven is every sound I tell thee so he now will do, Unto the press these words must go, What rage doth flow, I well do know, In true obedience now by ME, For to support thy hand. Then they'd prevent with one consent, But Satan's veil from some I'll rend, For some are mine, their hearts I'll join, That in my Vineyard now are come- For their reward they now shall gain If they my work will do. For now to all I loud do call, My Kingdom is at hand; And them that will it now obtain Must in my Labour stand. For I'll go on to ask of man If they my Kingdom think to gain, Or shall it come to you, vain men, No: to my Gospel you must come,— 1 ( 43 ) That do offend against my friends, Or do you judge that I shall come To wish ME here? shall I appear My dying Love, that so did prove As at that time I knew mankind Did suffer for my sake: And now's the time, mankind shall find, My Love to Man shall break; Upon such men as they were then. All mocked at the first; And now the same it is in man— Men's mockery so doth burst. Then now see plain, ye sons of men, Unto such men as mock MY NAME, Or could you judge before you're tried No: men, you are blind you all will find, To prove your hearts is first my mind, But here within thou dost begin At first to come in Spirit strong To plead the Promise in the Fall, My Father's words to clear. Then sure in man there is no plan But let my Coat be known to them So if they tear and rend it here To say I died the Fall to clear, And make the Serpent fall. And then by thee they all must stand If with the Serpent now they stand, THE JEZEBEL IN THE REVELATIONS. Saturday Morning, June 23d, 1804. I dreamt, in the night, that my brother's son that is dead, was alive; I thought the Lord said to me, I was to kill the child, as Abraham was to kill Isaac. I thought I could not kill him any other way than by taking him and twisting him round the neck; I thought the child was then dressed up to be roasted; it then seemed the child began to go into convulsion fits, and was in such agonies, as my heart ached to see him. I said I hoped I had not hurt the bone of his neck, that he might come to life again. And then I thought I travelled on, and saw a woman, sitting on a gate post, railing to another woman against me, and told the woman she must come to her for religion. I thought I gave the woman a push, and pushed her off the gate; and the other woman was disputing strong for me. I then thought a number of other women came, that looked like witches, and one looked me strong in the face, and said in derision, are you the Saviour, then I will go on my knees in the mud pit? which she did. I said no, I was not the Saviour, but Christ was come in the Spirit to me to bring in the Redemption of Man. I thought one woman mocked me, and said, I see yours is a money business, and I will give you half a guinea. I told her I despised her money, and she should put it in her pocket. She said, so she would; for she had not half guineas so plenty; and another woman took out a parcel of half guineas that were brass and shewed me, and said she had not half guineas so plenty neither. I said no, and what you have are not good. THE ANSWER OF THE SPIRIT. "Now, Joanna, remember this dream I brought thee before Foley's letter came; for she is the Jezebel |
