The Voice of the Daughter of Sion cried in me, what ailest thou, who art travelling for the Birth of Power? Faint not, for it is a God Almightiness; that will be the issue of all those internal pang•• of her who is travelling in the greatness of his strength. Every Arm of created Power is too short to bring it forth. God must bring forth God. Then queried my
Spirit, where, and how, and after what manner will be so marvelous a thing? Sure nothing of mortality can compass such an Immensity, as a Gods excellency in this World to be manifested. No said the Spirit of Councel, the Terrestrial Man cannot have any share herein, either to conceive or bring it forth: But yet such may be the high act of Love in the Most Holy, as to open his Mighty Name Ieho∣vah through that mean form of Morta∣lity, and send forth somewhat of a deifi∣ed express of his Existency, in terrestrial Creatures; so as to make them signifie unto the World, what power it is that moves through them. Who have been in strong and unwearied travel, for this all-saving Birth of Almighty Power. For indeed such a Birth is needed in the World, that may deliver from all the evils of it. There is nothing, but an Om∣nipotent Force will conquer the sinful Authorities, that have been so long in Government over all the Creation. There∣fore what are ye to look, and wait for, but the Birth of this Mighty Prince Cy∣rus to arise in, and to go before you; for it is by meer strength, that he must prevail, to subdue all Nations, whether
they be within or without. Many have been the forerunners of this by inferiour Births, which ye have passed through. As those of Regeneration, and Divine Inspirations, and Productive Revelations, all in order hereunto: But all these have been too weak and too short, to deliver out of the Servile Spirit. The Babylo∣nish Power doth yet keep and serve it self upon you, and will not let you go free; till this Mighty Prince doth arise to remand you back unto your own Land, and native Freedom again. Thus I did evidently see nothing, but the all-saving Arm could pluck us back again. And moreover this word was with me, and in me spoken. Pray for the Cyrus Might to be joined with the Nazarite Wisdom of Purity: for without Power ye cannot perform any of my Pleasure, in subduing the Babylonish Power, that hath enlarged it self over the whole uni∣versal state of things. It is well, for the elected ones in this World, that their Redeemer is now a Mighty King over all Kingdoms. And this day is drawing near for the revealing of this his shut up Power, that hath been reserved with him in the Heavens. By reason of which, a
sorrowful bondage and servile Life hath been upon the very Nerves of the New Ierus••lem. Who are now sensible, and do now cry unto this Mighty Cyrus to appear, and to break for them this Baby∣lonish Yoak: which hath made them so long groan, and mourn, as being made to serve with rigour under the Prince of Darkness. Who hath had a long Reign through his Agents in this Principle; but his Time is ••igh worn out. Of which this is an assured hope, when a deep sense is upon any of the Children of the Captivity: As upon Daniel and Ieremi∣ah, Ezra and Nehemiah, who set them∣selves to enquire for that Messiah; who is to restore, and gather together the Stones, for to build the Mystical Ierusa∣lem. Verily to such as do sigh and mourn, for all the Abominations of Desolations, which they see to be of Authority. To such, I say, the Most High will have re∣spect, not only to reveal, but to intrust the Scepter of his Kingdom with them. Who, he knows, will sway all in righteousness, according to his own heart: They shall be his Kings and Sav••ours upon Earth. Yet once again, they who are of a Daniel Spirit, wholly addicting their Minds
hereunto, and in nothing else ta∣king pleasure, but in diving into the Secrets of the Most High; that if by any means they might find out the Jubile∣year of release, when the Mourning Tribes might return again to their own possessions; even they shall be chose hereunto. Oh the wise in heart after this do look: waiting in true spiritual abstinence, as Daniel did; that so eternal Secrets may be revealed unto them. Know ye how beautiful would those be, who shall bring news, and glad-tidings hereof, from the Most Holy to the Mourn∣ers in Sion: That the Lord is indeed, with∣out delay, coming; for a full and perfect Redemption to the Groaning and Op∣pressed Creation•• Even so Lord Jesus come quickly.
