THE BREAKING OF THE DAY OF GOD Wherein Four things are manifested I. That the two Witnesses are not in killing but in rising from death II. The three dayes and half or 42. months of the Saints Captivity under the Beast very near expired III. Christ hath begun to reign in his Saints and to tread their corrupt flesh under his feet IIII. Christs dominion over the Nations of the world near the approach BY Gerrard VVinstanley London Printed by I. C. for Giles Calvert at the Black-spread-Eagle at the West end of Pauls 1649. TO The despised Sons and Daughters of Zion scattered up and down the Kingdom of England DEar friends and fellow brethren in the Kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ you have been and are the object of the worlds hatred and reproach not simply as you are men and women but because the light beauty of our Father shines forth of you which they cannot behold therefore they brand you for wicked ones and your principles to be errour And under that name of deceivers troublers though indeed they themselves are the only deceivers troublers they threaten your ruine death you are the signes and wonders of the Kingdom you are the object of every ones laughter and reproach you are the men that they would plunder you are the men that are sentenced to be put to death in these uproar risings under the name of Round-heads That the name of Israel may be no more known in the Land but they shall never prevaile your Father hath blessed you yea and you shall be blessed you are the men they would chain up by an Ecclesiasticall compulsive or coersive power you are the men that they would give no liberty to to practise what God teaches you you are the men preached against writ against petitioned against to the higher Power to bring you under their foot-steps you are the men that are counted the troublers of Kingdoms and Parishes where you dwell though the truth is you are the only peaceable men in the Kingdom who love the Kingdoms peace the Magistrates peace and the Peoples peace who love the health and peace of all their souls But what 's the reason the world doth so storm against you but because you are not of the world nor cannot walk in the darkwayes of the world they hated your Lord and Master Jesus Christ and they hate you they knew not him and they know not you for if they had known him they would not have crucified him and if they did truly know the power of that God that dwels in you they would not so despise you But well these things must be it is your Fathers will it shall be so the world must lie under darkness for a time that is Gods dispensation to them and you that are Children of light must lie under reproach and oppressions of the world that is Gods dispensation to you But it shall be but for a little time What I have here to say is to bring you glad tydings that your redemption drawes neer you are come to the half day of the Beasts reign which may be very hot yet it will be short for the Son of righteousness and peace i● risen and he is beginning to disperse those cold rainy Clouds of mens lusts and inventions And to make the earth mankind to become like the summer season full of light heat fruitfulness and comfort There are two things which the Lord our righteousness is in doing First He is burning up all the drosse of our flesh and treading it under his feet by his bright appearing in our hearts and by the lively and free discoveries of himself and doth cast out the accuser The Serpent and takes possession and dwels in you himself and takes you up to dwell in him this is Gods Kingdom and this many of you have experience of and this strength of your God within is that which supports you against all the storming provocations of the world without stronger is he that is in you then he that is in the world Secondly the same God of truth he is burning up the drosse and shaking and casting down all corruptions which the wise flesh or rather wicked Serpent hath built up in Common-wealths and Churches and is beginning to spread the knowledg of himself over the earth as the waters cover the Seas But for the present men are angry disquieted at it they would not know God nor be saved God at first must work against their wills and make their swelling spirit to become willing and obedient before they can be healed And what 's the reason Why truly the Serpent that deceived the whole earth doth still stir up the whole world to wonder after the Beast and to maintain that corrupt power as long as he can for when once the Anointing takes the Kingdom and reigns The Beast or fleshly wisdom in States and Churches shall never reigne more this the Serpent knows and because God and the Lamb sits upon the Throne judging the Beast and Serpent The smoke of their torment ascends upwards day and night in blasphemy against God and bitter language and ill usages of his Saints that live above in the liberty and life of God which is a condition above the bondage and death of the Serpent well it must be thus for a time but do you wait patiently upon your God and you shall see in conclusion he will bring in your enemies to fall down at Christs feet and acknowledge love and live in the same God with you and then your joy shall be more and more fulfilled This thing God ere long will do far he is judging the Serpent And if England Scotland and Ireland this three-fold Kingdom united under one head or State Government be the tenth part of the City Babylon that must fall off from the Beast first as I have no doubtings but daily confirmations in me that it shall be You shall then see That all this envy and bitterness of spirit in these Nations shalldie and shall be swallowed up in the spirit of love you shall see these great nationall divisions to be swallowed up into brotherly one-ness you shall see oppressing injustice to be swallowed up into righteousness and peace and the fire of Gods spirit to burn up the fire of mens lusts and inventions so that Magistrates shall love the people and be nursing Fathers to them for that prophesie comes now to be fulfilled and the people shall love and chearfully obey the Commands of Magistrates All striving who shall honour God most in their severall places and callings this God can do and this he will do for he is Commander in chief in and of the spirits of men There are three Songs which God hath taught us and will have us to sing in experience continually The first is fear or rather love

power till that time be accomplished for it is their time of prophesying in sackcloth it is not Gods time of raining down wrath as yet because God by his word hath limitted himself to such a time And truly here our God points out such a spring as may refresh his people in all their suflerings To consider the sufferings of the Saints and the enemies cruelty is not acted according to the will of the enemy but enemies and Saints and troubles are all in Gods hand and enemies shall dye the Saints shall be comforted and all teares wiped from their eyes when Gods appointed time is accomplished and not till then surely this gives much strength of peace and patience to poor children of God in their sufferings But secondly They have power to shut Heaven or to stay Gods hand from raining down judgement upon the Beast all the dayes of their prophesies as sometimes God rained down a deluge of water to drown the rebellious World and sometimes he rained a deluge Of fire as a plague to destroy those wicked people in Sodome and Gomorah And this power is in the hand of the Anointed Iesus Christ for he hath the power of hell and death And the reason is this Iesus Christ hath bought out this power by his bloud out of the hands of offended justice For now as God shewes no mercy out of Christ so he executes no act of wrath or justice but by the hand of Christ for the Father hath committed all judgment to the Son and Christ is all and in all Christ hath the Key of life and death he can either bind or loose destroy or save Therefore it is said That the Witnesses have power to shut Heaven or the hand of offended justice that it rain not down plagues And they have power to open Heaven and to smite the earth with plagues as oft as they will Or secondly If by Heaven we understand the Church which I rather adhere to then I conceive the meaning is this The Witnesses have power from God to prophesie in sackcloth one thousand two hundred and sixty dayes and there shall not be showers of divine discoveries whereby the Beast shall be utterly consumed all that time onely she shall be plagued now and then by those divine discoveries like drops of raine so often as the spirit of truth the Anointing which rules in the witnesses pleaseth And by these few discoveries of divine truths from God to and in the Church the carnall inventions of the Beast shall be discovered to be evil and made void thereby and the Beast or subtile flesh shall be put to her shifts to invent new deceits every age against Christ which doth plague this carnall earth mightily But the witnesses have power to shut Heaven that it rain not That you may see into the mystery hereof By Rain I understand two things by which the Beast is destoyed quite First When discoveries of God and manifestations of the brightness of the Anointed Iesus Christ appears in every Member of the Church like a showre of raine that sweepes away the refuge of lies or fleshly inventions before them as Isaih saith The Earth or Saints shall be filled with the knowledge of the Lord as the Waters cover the Sea for now the darknes of men cannot stand before the light of God nor the wisdom of the corrupt flesh cannot stand before the wisdom of God and this is that sword that is in the mouth of Christ whereby he destroyes his enemies and this shall be made good when the Church shall not need to be taught by any man but shall be all taught by God and by that same Anointing shall know all things But Heaven or the Church is shut up from these plentifull discoveries till the time of the end that the Witnesses sackcloth-prophesying is accomplished but when that time is finished then this rain shall appear whereby the Beast with all her fleshly deceits shall be destroyed Secondly By Raine I understand the number of Saints that shall increase and spread like the multitude of drops in a showre of raine or like sands upon the Sea shoar so that their number shall over-top the number of Babylons Citizens And so the Church being full of the righteousnes of God and discoveries of Christ shall sweep away the City Babylon with all her beastly practices and fleshly inventions And hereby the Beast shall be destroyed For whereas all the dayes of the Witnesses sack-cloth-prophesying and death The earth that is the flesh of men and conversation of men was full of drinesse and unfruitfulnesse before God in every thought word Work by reason of the Beast or wisdom of the flesh that ruled in them and promoted Self Now by this Rain the earth or flesh of man is filled with fruits of righteousness and truth I mean by the plentifull discoveries of truth or brightness of Christ and by the plentiful1 increase of the Saints the destruction of the Beast or the Serpents head in flesh is broken and consumed And that there shall be such increase of Saints in the latter dayes the Prophesie of Hosea makes it manifest for when God cast off literal Israel He promised the large increase of spiritual Israel which are beleeving Iewes and Gentiles that shall be like the sands of the Sea shoar in the day of Christ But the Witnesses have a power to shut the Church or Heaven from raining in this kind till their Prophesie be ended as God appointed And then I believe there shall appear plentifull manifestations of Gods love in the Church to the increase of their number and to the increase of their spiritual enjoyment of God And likewise there shall appear hereby even plentifull manifestation of justice and wrath upon the beast and wisdom of the flesh to its utter overthrow And these manifestations of love justice shal appear like a showr● of raine sweeping away the refuge of lye before it And yet further in that sixt verse They have power over waters to turn them into bloud By waters first of all I conceive are mean● the inventions actings and appearances of the power and wisdom of the flesh arising against the testimony of the two Witnesses to prove their testimony false For the Devil and corrupt flesh would faine prove God a lyer and would not have the seed of the Woman break the Serpents head And hence doth arise such a dea● adoe among men to find out a way to worship God and give direction to others and to enforce people to observe those directions o● else to stand lyable to humane punishments as though they must help Christ to save sinners But when the Angel powres out his Viall into the Sea fountains and waters of Babylon that is upon the very spirit of subtile enmity it self and upon all the carnall wisdom and appearances that have flowed there-from and caused them to become like the

together be manifest in them call you this likewise what you will I am confident it speaks like the Dragon and is of the Image of the Beast and part of the half day But I will speak one work of comfort to the Saints your captivity under the Antichristian power is come to the half day or half time and the Lamb will nourish and feed you before the Throne or under the eye and protecting care of God in this half time as he hath fed the Church with love and watchfull care in the 3 dayes that are past And the power of this blaspheming horne that will not acknowledge Christs testimony nor suffer others to acknowledg him this day of his is and shall be shortned for the elects sake And I believe ere long we shall heare the Angel say it is done her 3 dayes and half or her time times and half time is now accomplished And the stone which is cut 〈…〉 Mountains without hands even 〈…〉 Christ our righteousnes shall destr●●● 〈…〉 workings and Kingdom of darkne● 〈…〉 in the Saints and likewise 〈…〉 power that Satan exercised over 〈…〉 he trod them under foot the 42. 〈…〉 now Christ will reigne himself for 〈…〉 ever for of his Kingdom there shal1 〈…〉 And then the world shall see by experience that word of Solomon to be made good That when the wicked that is the flesh rules the City mournes but when the righteous that is Jesus Christ rules the City Zion rejoyces and there is great shouting for joy among the Saints when they can speak by experience and say O rejoyce rejoyce for the Lord God Omnipotent reignes And now doth the Sonne of righteousnes rise higher in the bright manifestations of himself upon the soules of his Saints And the day of Christ begins to shine more clear even that one day as Zachariah calls it which did appear in the hearts of Saints formerly for Abraham saw it and David saw it and rejoyced to see it And truly this day of Christ this sweet discovery of the Fathers love to poor sinners began to dawne upon the seventh day in course after the Creation of all things for Adam sinned upon the sixth day towards the close of the day or cool of the evening And then the seventh day in course should have been a day of punishment or destruction to Adam for his disobedience I but the Son of our righteousness rises presently and love appeared in this promise that the seed of the woman should bruise the Serpents head and so stopped the breakings forth of wrath and made it a day of joy and gladness unto lost sinners And therefore when the Jews told Christ he was a finner because he had broke the Sabbath-day when he had but cured the lame Man upon that day Why saith Christ my Father worketh hitherto and I work that is All the six dayes was my Fathers time of working and making all things but the seventh day is my day and now I work to bruise the Serpents head and to save that which was lost And therefore I say this one day of Christ did dawn upon the seaventh day from the creation and the Sonne of righteousnes hath rose higher and higher in the discoveries of himself or his Church though the thick and cold clouds of flesh and self-love both in our selves and in the world hath darkened the beames of it from us I but now the Winter is near past the Summer is come the flowers appear in the earth that is the glorious workings of the Anointing in the spirit of Saints The time of the singing of birds is come that is all the Saints begin to sing Halelujah for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth within and begins to reign in the world and the voice of the turtle is heard in our Land that is the voice of the Lord Christ our rightousnes is heard and seen to rule in our flesh And now the Beast or wisdom and power of our corrupt flesh or Serpent within us is wounded to death and she shall reign no more And so by the multitude of divine discoveries self-love and confusion shall be destroyed in the flesh of Saints and their very flesh shall be made that land of righteousnes even the branch or the Lords own planting the Inhe●●tance of their Father in whom the King of Righteousnes and the King of Peace shall dwell and rule for ever And by the multitude of these Saints whom Christ will raise up like drops in a shoure of raine for number All the oppression injustiee false shewes and formes of Gods Worship shall all be destroyed in the World and judgement shall run down our streets like a stream and righteousnes like a River And though there be a people still on earth in whom the wisdom and power of the flesh dwells as yet there must be yet the power of it shall be kept under and suppressed by the power of Christ the Anoining in the Saints for a certain terme of years appointed by the Father And then he will let Satan loose again who shall stir up those children of disobedience in whom he dwells to joyn together in one mind and spirit of malice and of fleshly wisdom and force which is Gog and Magog 〈◊〉 destroy the holy City the Saints the body of Christ and house of God But then shall the wrath of the Lamb be made manifest to their destruction and then comes the End That the Son shall deliver up the KINGDOM unto the Father CHAP. V. The Witnesses were to be slain when they had finished their Testimony NOw in the next particular we are to mind the time when the Witnesses are to be slain and that is when they have finished their Testimony as John speaks When they shall have finished their testimony the Beast that ascendeth out of the bottomles pit shall make war against them and shall overcome them and kill them These two Witnesses I conceive may be said to have finished their testimony when by manifest experience they have made it appear that the seed of the Woman hath broken the Serpents head and so have proved the Word of the Father to be true And this they have done for first Jesus Christ in his own person he broke the Serpents head when he trod under his feet all the sub●●wit and power of the Serpent and prevailed over all his temptations so that Satan could find nothing in him and so by death overcame him that had the power of death which was the Devil Secondly Jesus Christ breaks the Serpents head in the Saints when he makes them able to speak out of experience I was proud saith the soul now God hath made me humble I was envious now God hath made me love even my enemies I loved and acted injustice now God hath made me to hate injustice and to love truth in my heart and to

men that were guided by God to walk sincerely according to what they knew and understood and durst not do any thing because others do it or said it was a truth unles they saw it to be a truth likewise I wish this were seriously minded in these our dayes And as it was raised by deceived Magistracy so in every change of time the maintainers of that stolen usurped power did not rely upon God to preserve and carry on Church-work but still they were petitioned to Kings and Parliaments to establish this Ecclesiastical power to enforce men to a uniformity in Religion but self-love and temporal livings were the bottom of that zeal And so by the precepts of men they have taught or rather by compulsion have enforced men to pretend a fear of God for thei● Ecclesiastical power makes men fear men mor● then God and so makes hypocrites which hath been a power God hath since Esay prophesied threatned and executed wrath upon the mannagers So that ever since this Ecclesiastical power was raised up it hath been a troubler of Godly Magistrates a troubler and silencer of godly Ministers a troubler of common people in High-Commission Courts Sessions and by Classical censures making men hypocrites to act contrary to their knowledg for fear of punishment But if it please God to put it into the heart of Magistrates in Kingdomes to take back their power from this Beast and to let the government of Church-work lie only upon the shoulders of our Lord Christ for it is his due right he is King of Saints Then the pure reformation of civill Magistracy would soon appeare confusion and Babylon would die and there would be peace among men Indeed the main cause of all our Nationall troubles is the discontent of the whorish spirit in men that wonder after the Beast but when once it is faln really in Common-wealths as it is faln in some Saints then men will be freed from bitternesse and rejoyce because the Lord God omnipotent reigneth And Magistracy which is Gods Ordinance will run in its right channell to be a terror to the wicked and to protect them that doe well whereas by this Ecclesiasticall power established by deceived Magistracy the sincere in heart that worship God in spirit and truth according as God hath taught them and they understand These are and have been troubled in Sessions in Courts and punished by Fines and prisons c. But the loose-hearted that will be of any Religion that the most is of these have their liberty without restraint and so Magistracy hath acted quite backwards in punishing them that do ●●ell and protecting in a hypocriticall liberty them that do evill O that our Magistrates would let Church-work alone to Christ upon whose shoulders they shall find the government lies and not upon theirs and then in the wisdom and strength of Christ they would govern Common-wealths in justice love and righteousnesse more peacebly All that I shall say in conclusion is this Wait patiently upon the Lord let every man that loves God endevour by the spirit of wisdome meeknesse and love to dry up the river Euphrates even this spirit of bitternesse that like a great River hath over-flowed the Earth of man-kind For it is not revenge fines fightings that will subdue a tumultuous spirit but a soft answer love and meeknesse tendernesse and justice to doe as we would be done unto This will appease wrath When this Son of righteousnesse and love arises in Magistrates and people one to another then these tumultuous Nationall stormes will cease and not till then This Son is risen in some or else these tumultuous stormes would have made it a cold and uncomfortable season before this time This Sonne will rise higher and must rise higher and the bright shining of it will be Englands liberty Well I am confident that those that are very violent in spirit without double-dealing acting outwardly what meerly is in their hearts and knowledge though for the present they are tormented even in Hell night and day by that unquiet Spirit yet these 〈…〉 make and enjoy a peaceable quiet and righteous spirit and I beleeve within a short time and they shall be delivered from this Serpents bondage and Gods kingdome shall enter into them and when men have wearied out themselves in following their lusts then is Gods time to take them up into his rest and liberty This work God maniests in some that are scattered up and down like a few drops of haile before the showre fall in force And when he workes in generall then the showre of haile shall fall in force and sweep away all the refuge of lies before it that is plentifull discoveries of God in every man burns up the drosse of the flesh and plentifull increase of Saints in a Kingdome is like a showre of haile that sweeps away all abominations in States and Churches And such a time as this is coming on when the seventh Angel sounds And I shall leave with you one Scripture with which I will conclude And the Temple of God was opened in Heaven and there was seen in his Temple the Arke of his Testament and there were lightnings and voyces and thundrings and an earth-quake and great haile Commander in chiefe is God himselfe who rules the Spirits of men Wait then on him up-roares to quell and setle peace again Those that doe rise for fleshly ends a Kingdome for to trouble Shall lose their pains undoe themselves and vanish like a bubble Gods shaking Nations trying men and changing times and customes Ruining the Beast and saving men amidst these great combustions Cease striving then ye sons of men Destroy not one another God will avenge him that 's opprest by Christ our elder brother His turn is next the Realm to take and rule the sons of men And Beast and Devill Pope and Sin Shall never rise again But yet mens hearts disquiet are and bitter as we see Hot times have been hot times yet are but hotter yet may be For now the Image of the Beast appeares to act his part But he 's a falling and Saints shall sing Haleluja with joy of heart FINIS 1.
