his own, ere that time come, for the nearer the time is. the .
fouls lhall be taken away, aud more and more (hall be revea-
led to God s people ; for tne Lord doth nothin without he
reveal it, by Ills Spirit to his fervants the prophets: he del-
troy d not the old world, without the knowledge ol Noah,
he did not overthro jv Sodom and Gommorah without the
knowled ge of Abraham I do not mean now', that any new'
prophet (hail arife, but tile Lord by his Spirit, Inall
caufe knowledge to abound amongft his people, whereby
the old prophecies lhah be- clearly and pert Ctly utider-
ftood. And I die in that thought, and really believe,
that my calculation on the Revelation by St John, and
the prophecy which St {erome copied <11, and tranila-
ted out of the Hebrew language, as it is written on Se'h s
piliar in Damafus, which pillar inlaid to have Rood fmce
before the flood, and was built h.y-.fteih Adam’s Ion and
wrtrten by Knoch the prophet; as likew’fe the holy pre*
cepts, whereby the patriarchs walked before the law was;
given to Mofes, which was alfo engraven on the faid pillar,'
whereof many Jews have copies, in their own language,
written on parchment, and engraven on brafs and copper,;
but the alteration of the date makes them to flagger at it,
not knowing that the dates were to be a’tered by the birth
of Ghrifl Firfl, this prophecy is intitled, ‘ A fliort work of
the Lord’s in the latter age of the world.’ Great earth¬
quakes and commotions by lea and land lhall come in the
year of God 1779, great wars in Germany and America
1780; the deftruftion of Popery, or Eabylon s fall, in the
year 1790; God will be known by many in the year 1 795 ;
this will produce a great man. The ftars will wander, and
the moon turn as B'ood in 1800. Africa, Afia. and Ameri¬
ca, will tremble in 1783 a great earthquake over the whole
world, in 1785, God will be univerlally known by all. Then
a general reformation and peace for ever, when the people
lhall learn war no more, happy is the man that iiveth to fee
this day.
