The Mystery of the Trumpets Synchronizing with the Seals; And in particular of the sixth Trumpet. Thus I have been driven on according to Experience and Revelation, to open the Mystical Meaning of what is Written in the Revelation, according as it is to be fulfilled in Holy and Heaven-born-Saints: though I also well know, that their opening will cause a terrible Day of Wo to the Rebellious and Unregenerate. For they who shall then be found in the Beasts Kingdom, must look to fall and go into Perdition with him; for as there are inward Vials to be poured forth, so there are outward Vials to be poured forth on the World. Which I could enlarge upon, but that it is not my Commission, being otherwise instigated: Besides, the Lord shewed me, that to every seal there is an Eye opens within, which is therefore called upon to look Inward, where the great Mystery is to be opened. And as every Seal hath its Eye, so the Ear its sounding Horn, which is filled with Holy Oyl, which makes Kings and Priests in God’s Tabernacle. These are the Trumpets that give the most certain sound for Time to end, and the everlasting Kingdom of the Alpha and Omega to begin, in that Soul where the sixth Trumpet shall sound: Upon which follows the loosing of those Angels that have been bound, who are to fight the Lamb’s Battle, and to revenge his Quarrel. For the great and last War will be upon this sixth Seals opening; and the Lord did testifie it would be such, as in no fore-going Seal had been known. But he said withal, I am the Lord strong and mighty, who will prevail, and wholly overturn the Kingdom of the Dragon and Beast: Continue thou, whilst I am doing this in the most holy secret of my Being, where the constant Mediatorship and Offerings may go on, as the strength of an Army that shall all overcome, through the burning Incense that is mingled by the Angel, whose place is to stand always at the Altar; no hurt or suffering by all this Conflagration, shall touch the Jewel that lies hid in my Deity, that would shine forth again in the Body of its Native Virginity, as before time was; wherefore suffer thou all this Violence on thy Elementary part, as knowing that it will not at all disturb the inward Temple-Worship and Communion of the pure Spirit. But now, as of old time, in the first elect Church and People, God was ministered to, and worshipped in a dark formal, mixed manner, going up and down in a moveable Tabernacle, till Solomon’s Day, where the Typical Temple, which was to be filled with the Glory, was built: Even so since the time of the Son of Man’s offering up himself, the holy One hath walked in Clouds, and hath been worshipped after an imperfect rate, and therefore he hath prepared a burning flaming Day for all his Vessels to pass through, to know whether they be Sanctuary proof or no. For the Lord is carrying on a pure Jerusalem-Worship in truth, and substantiality: Rejoyce all ye, who shall stand the trial of this sixth Seal, in order to it. Now according to this divine Interpretation of the six Seals, we may know how near the end of Time, and the passing away of the old Heavens and Earth in our selves are; for that it is we are to look to, at every Seals opening: For from the first to the last there is a sounding Trumpet to bring Ruin and Desolation, to the first six days Creation, because of Sin and the Curse which came in by the Serpent’s sting; by which means the Beast hath erected his Kingdom, and corrupted the whole Principle of Time. Which the holy One hath suffered now so many thousand Years: During which all Just Men dyed indeed in the Faith of this Prophecy; but attained not to that Degree, which is to usher in the heavenly new Jerusalem in her Glory. But the Lord is now stirring, and in good earnest is sounding his Trumpets for Battel: And there is That in us which doth witness he is going on Gradually, to Unmake and dissolve all of the first Creation. For the Lamb will not much longer carry the weight and burthen of a sinful Creation. He hath in some already sounded to Judgment; and will set himself free thereby, and the Spirits and Souls of those who are resolved to follow him through every Seal, till they shall Overcome. It was given me hence to observe, that there are Six Engagements, to which Six Overcomings do answer, mentioned in the Revelations [Margin Note: Rev. 2.3]; and to every Conquest a most high and wonderful Reward promised; All which is to encourage to follow him chearfully, who is our Leader; who hath sworn that Time shall be no longer than till he hath gotten the Victory over the Beast and Whore, and hath destroyed the Dragon’s Kingdom in every Property within us; who are elected to reign in his Life with him on his Throne, with a train of new created Powers, in the Properties of the redeemed Earth in the Soul’s Essence. And then we shall know how unconfined the Lordly Dominion over all Outward Things is, even over all the Beasts of this visible Earth, who must be subjected to the Lamb: who hath taken his Victorious Crown, and put it on the Heads of the holy Warriors, that have passed through all; and are come to the last Overcoming, that gives entrance into the seventh Seal.
