Another VISION of JOSEPH PRESCOTT, seen "The part of the mill at the Neckinger, Bermondsey, where his eye was directed to, just about ten o'clock, all at once was obscured, and exhibited the appearance of a dark night with the sky full of stars; the moon appeared very low; the principal parts of a dark red colour, interspersed with some marbled part of light, like itsnatural colour; on the right hand of the moon, and higher up from the horizon, was the sun, which appeared of a dark, grey, gloomy colour, about half as large again as the moon, with some faint rays of light around it. Above the moon and sun were rolling light clouds, in form of a semicircle, or rainbow reversed; the underneath parts dark, the upper parts light, from the glory that was over it. Above those clouds, and on some fainter clouds, that seemed at a further distance, was a large grey horse, exceeding in size all he had ever seen. On it was a Person, whom he believes, from what followed, to be the Lord, dressed in a large loose flowing robe, of a red colour; underneath which he had a close garment, of bright purple, a broad sash over the right shoulder, and under the left arm, of the same colour. Upon his head was a crown of twelve stars, and four arches with a star between each arch, and one on the top of each arch, and four stars in a cluster, on the top of the ball; and in his right hand a sword, large and broad, which he held perpendicularly; with the other hand he appeared to guide the horse. The light extended itself above in a semi-circle, or arch, which with the clouds below formed a complete circle. In the circle, above and on each side the horse, were an immense number of angelic faces, of various sizes, at various distances, and apparently of different ages. All as with one voice shouted, "Glory to thee, O Lord. Ride forth, mighty God, conquering and to conquer." "From a voice behind him it was said, if a representation, or drawing, was coveted by any one that was a Believer in these things, it should again appear; but there was no command for drawing it." The ANSWER to the VISION, from the SPIRIT. The sword of the Spirit is drawn by мE. I am the Captain of their salvation, that am now going on conquering and to conquer. The horse represents men that my Spirit resteth on: and as the bridle is in my hand, so will I hold, guide, and direct 'them who now trust in ME, and rely on the words given to thee for direction and for protection. And as one leg is broken and turned round under my heel, that was bruised by the powers of darkness working in the hearts of men to bruise it, when they nailed me to the tree! so shall my heel tread down that power, to break his legs, and all his footing here. Satan hath but one power-I have three powers, viz. I have power to give life, and power to take it away; I have power to send blessings on the earth, or to withhold them. Satan hath but one power, and that is to tempt men to sin, and now that power shall be taken away, and God shall be all in all. For the one power, I say, shall fall. That every foe they shall pierce through, And have my glorious kingdom come, And comes like night, none can see clear I will not see your sins below, But from your names your joys shall flow. But then they will come down below, Or else your hearts I know't would chill, The Third VISION of JOSEPH PRESCOTT, of the Crowns and Crosses.-Bermondsey, March 9, 1803, About half past seven o'clock, Joseph was sitting in the kitchen, at the Neckinger, in company with ******, his eyes fixed on the ceiling. From seeing some rays of light from thence, he saw a crimson velvet cushion, four square, with gold tassels and fringe, letters formed with dimonds on it, and the word CHRIST."-Above that were ribbons of blue and white, plaited together in form of a basket. In it, and about it, were red roses and hearts-ease, and upon the cushion, by the basket, was "a star” and a cross in the middle. Two sceptres across each other like the letter were laid on the flowers, and a crown of diamonds on the sceptres. On the, basket was written, in diamonds, the word "SPIRIT." On the crown was written "GOD," with diamonds. The crown had seven arches, and a cross, with red diamonds, on the top of the ball; and over that was a representation of glory. In that glory were two stars, three points to each, one in another; and over that, in printing characters, these words; "BEHOLD THE GLORY OF THE TRINITY." |
