So perfect with the Jews of old, Now from the former who could judge, If thou had'st ended there? Zechariah 11th and 12th Chapters-Explained in part. 1796. "Now from these chapters I'll begin; From types and shadows now't comes on- Thou know'st the price was valued there, But now the mysteries I shall clear, And all the lines unfold. The staff was BEAUTY that was broke, And valued at that time; My Covenant from them was broke So by the Seals 'tis just the same; Tis but the Church alone doth stand, I told thee plain that they would weep, The types do in the ALTAR stand; And stedfast shall endure; I said the ARK was in MY HAND, And there must 'bide secure. Joanna was ordered to take out from one part of her sealed writings in the presence of witnesses, and to cut round her seals, as no seal was ever broke (from the first, until the 12th of January 1803. See the first page in this Book) except by the six men who met in 1795 to examine part of the writings; they were dissenters from the church, who contrary to the agreement broke the seals of about three sheets, which they carried away. (See page 10 of the Arst part of Prophecies published in 1801.) D Blame on themselves they all will cast; Thou told'st them not to break the seals; As far surpassed all their heads? How could they say thou wast misled? Out of their mouths condemn'd they be; But I'll explain the mystery, And show how they did warn; Then why not they as well as thee? And I shall bring the Truth to light, And to the standard let them come; Because their covenant is broke- None mark'd the words that I had spoke; So in the end they will be right; Because it was my mind To fix the standard to the Church, And there I shall resign." A Minister of the established Church who called to advise Joanna. Explanation of the 33d Chapter of Numbers, given to Joanna in 1796. "Now this chapter doth thee puzzle, As I said before to thee; The stars on both sides they do stand The parting is between; So Jews and Gentiles both may come, And I shall both redeem. Therefore this thing I did ordain, The four stars are at the top; And see the crown is clear. The four stars were seen at first, I told thee, in the seal; The four stars in heaven were plac'd- The four stars do now appear, That thou must wear that day; Then now my jury all must come- To judge as men they must begin; Since on the Cross I did expire, I'll own the trial then was high; And if the truth they thus deny, Thou know'st thou art already cast," But now the mystery's at the last; It was the Church that first believ'd; As I have said before; And they will find there's no deceit To judge as men they must begin, Or else my vengeance fast will come, land. But thou hast promis'd to obey, And I well know 'tis true; "Tis I that holds thee by the hand, And will not let thee go. The power and word are from the LORD; But those that do thee blame, Will surely know, with one accord, If they against ME still will fight, And wish to see it true? To this petition I shall answer, Let priests and bishops now awake; Then the King's heart I'll make tender, Ere мY Sceptre I will shake. He that doth obey Mɛ now, Preserv'd will surely be; And he that doth refuse мY WORD, My power shall surely see." By the Six first at Exeter, who broke themselves off through disobedience. JOANNA, in 1796, put her pen into the bible with her eyes shut; and she found it in the Second Book of Chronicles, chap. xxix. v. 1. She was ordered to read it over: and was answered in the following manner by the SPIRIT: "Now this chapter thou hast read it, And a mystery 'tis to thee; But the mystery I'll explain it, And shew these chapters do agree.* By the law I did ordain it, That burnt-offerings they should shew; By the Gospel I command it, As a token of the law; Both together I have join'd them; Wrong inventions come from man; They'll prevent the fatal blow. For this land I will defend it- That the earth may all know M. Fatal shall the ruin fall; Therefore thou must make it public; Isaiah liv.-Numbers xxxiii.-2 Chron. xxix. In the Summer of 1801, three ministers of the established church wrote to Joanna and inquired into the truth of these things.-The preliminaries of Peace followed in October 1801, and plentiful Harvests since. |
