The Enochian walks with God found out by a spiritual-traveller, whose face towards Mount-Sion above was set ... : with an experimental account of what was known, seen, and met withal there, as to an essay to a further revelation of an immense and infinite latitude of God's love ... / written by Jane Lead, in this year 1694.

The Manner of Christ's Appearing.

HEarken, O Daughter of Sion, Behold thy Bridegroom cometh no more a Servant, but to be served by all Flesh; The Word that was manifest in Flesh reign in Spirit, to Prepare for Christ's Kingdom to come into a visible Dominion Here upon the Earth, by Signs and Miracles, wrought by the Spirit in forms of Flesh to confirm Christ the Lord is Coming to appear in his Saints, to set them over the Earth.

For to the Daughter of Sion the Dominion shall be restored through Marriage Vnion with the Lamb of God.

This is the first Resurrection of the Holy People, which shall be the Trumpet-Voice, that shall awaken the rest that lie Dead in Sin.

THe Hour of God's Judgment will thus come upon the Evil Nature that hath hitherto reigned in Man: the Spirit shall be so fully pour∣ed forth upon These first Risen-One, as to go forth with a quickenning Life, to raise the Dead Spiritually, and Bodily; This shall be the Terri∣ble Day of the Lord, for the condemning and destroying (not Persons, but) the Sin in Flesh, so it is declared unto me, which will be fulfilled in its Season and Time; which time will be when the wind of the Spirit shall rise more strongly, for the Holy-Ghost is to be the latter day Glory prophesied of, and the Expected Kingdom of Christ to be manifested Here, upon the Earth, in which he will Reign Personally in his Saints, who anointed are, first, with such measures of the Spirit, that do high∣ly sanctify, which do prepare for this great Day of the Thousand Years

Reign Prophesied of, but whether it be so to be understood according to our number of Years, is not to be determined; but glorious Reign in the Spirit there will be before Christ in His glorified Person will come distinctly upon the Earth, to turn it into a Paradise, to make these lower parts of the Earth glorious, upon which in the last of times he will stand, and model it into a Christalline Land, which will be New-Earth and Heavens, as declared of in Scripture is; So from hence it is made known to me, what the work and business of our present Age, and Day is, which is to pass daily through the Baptizing River, that may drown, and keep all of Sin down, that the Spring of Righteousness may rise for the true washing of Regeneration; Then will the Holy-Ghost be renewed, and set up his Reign in Souls, and will exercise Power and Dominion, so as it shall be known Jehovah-Shammah, the Lord and Mighty King live∣eth and reigneth Here; for this must be the Forerunner of that more great and notable Day of Christ, as to his Appearance in his own Per∣sonal Glory. It is advertised me, that there is much to be done in the King∣dom of this World by a more plentiful Effusion of the Spirit then yet hath been; Therefore each one in their own Jerusalem within be waiting for the Spirits Day, which is the great Increase, and mighty Power that will turn the World upside down; Therefore nothing is more expedient for the hastning this Blessed day of our Lord's Appearance.

Therefore all that are Watchmen, and Holy-Seers to sound out That Trumpet of the Spirit, that may gather the Dove-Spirits together to wait in Love-Unity, that the Thousand Years Reign may have a speedy beginning, and entrance; upon the which it will follow, as enquiries made into This Spirits Reign and Dominion, shall hereunto be encourag'd. Even so, and Amen, in the Spirit, Come Lord Jesus quickly.

A Dialogue betwixt Christ, and the Spirit of my Mind, which was upon Enquiry, whether I might not be Initiated into a present Dowry, and Spouse to my Lord: to partake of the Heavenly Possessions, which he Himself is Inheritour of, as the Father's Heir?

And it was replied unto me, Yea surely, It will so follow to be, to the Soul that has put on the Deiformation of Christ the Lord; such, hath a Good and right Claim to His Person and Possessions. And when thus believed, and ap∣prehended, Liberty is granted for to draw out of this Stock, and Trea∣sury, as the present occasion shall require; for out of this Fulness an Em∣ptying into the most holy and sanctified Vessel may be most easily, pro∣portional to its Growth and Degree. For my Lord said to me,

You are not ignorantly to suppose that I willingly do hold back from that which stands in Unity with me: But there is a Cause if any stop be.

Then replied my Spirit, Oh my Lord! Let it be given to me to know, and understand where the Obstructions hath lien?

Answered I was, That the Veil of not Knowing, and not Believing the Things reported of, which do of right belong unto my Virgin Spouse; also wanting are holy Boldness, and Courage to come freely, and take what is mine, and make it your own; For be it Known to Thee, It is far from Me, to ingross to My self, what the Father hath so much, and li∣berally bestowed on Me, was it not that I might give out as Plente∣ously? Therefore come with full Assurance of Faith to Me, and ye shall re∣ceive Grace for Grace, Wisdom for Wisdom, Love for Love, and Power for Power; As I have obtained, and received of my Father in Heaven, so you from Me all answerably.

Pondering in my Spirit these words of my Lord's,

I Replied. How shall it be, that a Spirit should thus be mingled, and made one Pure Lump with Thee, so as nothing of it self for to be?

Answered it was. This should be effected by Dying out of Creaturely Censation, whereby a vacancy of Place, for the Holy-Ghost to rise, and spring, and move, as One Entire Spiritual Body within; for so it will be when ever there is a cessation, and a rest, from the whirling Thoughts and Motions, which from the outward Astral Birth is.

This will be the manner of my coming in this Latter-Day, to stand upon the Earth, which thus emptied is, and refined by the Fire, that ne∣ver dieth; which Fire is that Seed of God, that shall multiply it self, to bring your Christ forth, numerously to overspread this World, till all shall be formed a new.

Thus shall each one become a Christ, (or an Anointed) from this Deified Root opening within their own Soul.

And when this Life of Christ shall out-grow its Minority, and come to Ma∣turity of Wisdom and Strength; then it shall be known what you are made Heirs to, and shall possess, while in the age of time you do remain; for Christ fully Grown will bring such Gain, as Trains of Heavenly Powers will open and fly like Lightning, that shall reach from one Nation to another, by which the dark Corners of the Earth shall become light.

This is the New, and Living Model, which your Lord Christ will now begin to manifest himself in; Therefore hereunto, Let the Holy Anoint∣ed Ones, be ever waiting for me, till Power come over all that is Nature and Creaturely Spirit.

Seeing I have (Oh my Lord) Liberty of Speech further to proceed for Enquiry into this deep condescending Love of Thine, what upon my Spirit do move, which is,

How the ardent Soul, that so great a lover of Thee is, may have fre∣quent admittance into Thy Council-Chamber, to know, hear, and learn, what may be conduceable, to such an high degree of Unity, as hath been mentioned by Thee; For thou art so over cloathed with Greatness and Majesty, that it is no light, or easy thing to maintain such Accesses unto Thee, as required is in so high an Import as this is: For to know the Se∣crets that do concern the Kingdom of Thine, and my Joy, and Glory in Thee? O my Lord, be pleased in This to satisfy me.

Which was answered most sweet and mildly of my Lord, in these words.

O thou Soul of mine! thou hast searched deep, for to find a Path of Life, that few have found, because it is all Holy Ground, where none but Spirits that have put on my Spiritual Body can ascend, and keep their feet steady in this Track, which I to God the Father did freely pass; and so may you, as I in you this Risen-Body shall quicken up, That so, as hereby you may know it is not my Personal Glory, that shall prevent such Spirits, in this their humble, and Love attempt: For I your Lord do well know, it is but expedient you should thus keep up your acquain∣tance with me; For great will be your advantage hereby, in taking and receiving from Me such fresh and wonderful Supplies of Wisdom, and Knowledge in the Heavenly Mysteries, as shall satisfy, and quiet the Mind in the middest of an unquiet, and disturbing World.

And now I have informed you, in what you are priviledged in, take all care to keep this way of the Spirit all free and clear, that your Flight may not be stopped; so then you will keep your Dwelling securely above with me in the Heavens, and need not be careful what happeneth to the World beneath; for your Mountain Scituation in God shall never be moved.

Therefore only happy unutterably are they who knows me thus for to be their new living and ascending way, that as with my Spiritual Body, they may go in and out, taking what is for their present use, which they may have from me, all free, as coming in the Faith of Sanctity.

Now having taken in these Communications from my Lord, I found a precious feeding hereupon, and did feel such a spreading and quickning Life come upon me, as if all were filled with Christ in every part, which may be compared to Elijah's stretching himself upon the dead Child, which was made alive thereby.

Thus the Lord Christ draws a lively Draught of Himself in every part in the Soul, and nourisheth it with his own Royal Blood, which runneth thro' every Vein, by which we know we have put on Christ in his Resurrection-Spirit,

and inward Body, to which Perfect Thing coming, Redemption is Finished.

Highly blessed are those that shall arrive hereunto.

By all these Manifestations, I see the Day of Love is breaking out, to compass the whole Earth, and Christ will no longer a Stranger be; for so he doth Prophesy in me, That in the Holy-Ghost, he will in this Last Age of the World more wonderfully appear; therefore I am press'd in Spirit to Excite all that love, and longeth for to see, feel, and know Him, as a Present Counsellor, and Comforter, that they would thus prepare by Pureness of Heart and Mind, waiting for this Love-Star to rise, and multiply it self to numberless Stars of Love, and Power, that may a Heavenly Host be, to proclaim the Glory of Christ's Kingdom.

Even so Come, Thou Mighty King of Glory, and make us Kings to Reign over all That of the Earthly Life, as so redeemed by Thee, Thou Lamb of God, to whom the Hallelujahs is given.
