The following IMPORTANT COMMUNICATION was given MAY 27, 1800 *.

It was in answer to a dispute between Joanna and her Sister, who told Joanna she was spoiling the paper upon which she was writing, and was answered by the SPIRIT, That the paper, which she said was spoiled, should be the means, by the writing upon it, to awaken thousands.

As I indite for thee to write,
And all shall fly abroad;
For in the end 'tis my intend

The truth shall all be know'd;

For 't must appear, the valley's near,
And Satan laid the plan,

And men did suck the poison deep

And deep I'll go with all:

I'll first try man, how he will stand
When I have shew'd his fall.

In colours fair I'll paint it here,
And sinners I'll awake,

To shew from hell what arts do swell;
And men's hearts I shall shake,
Till I mete out the valley quite-
Then Succoth I'll divide;
And men shall see their destiny,
When I bring back the tide
On Pharaoh's host-my honour's lost

While he doth this pursue:

For at the sea my people be,

And know not what to do.

The sea is red with streams of blood,

And Pharaoh's pride does swell;

This Communication relates particularly to the Harvests of the FOUR following years from 1800.

( 105 )

For Satan here does so appear,
With all his force from hell.

My people go! doth Satan know?—

Then I'll pursue them strong"

And all his force, like Pharaoh's host,

Doth furious follow on ;

But all shall see the mystery,

He'll follow to the shore;

And then the rod shall come from God,

And smite the ocean there;

Then men will see the mystery,
How I shall it divide,

To make it dry, for man to fly,
And in the pillar hide.

A light for man it so will come,
When in the ocean there;

But in the dark they'll miss their mark,
When Satan follows here.

His chariot wheels I'll surely foil;

For off they fast shall come:

I'll make the light to guide the night,
And that shall be for man,

When darkness here doth fast appear,
And Satan's pride doth swell;
His chariot wheels, with all his skill,
Must perish there he'll fall.
The Type is deep, the mystery's great:
Now see the fate of man;

By Satan's arts came every smart;
He'th laid the burden strong;
He'th took away from man, I say,
The GRACE that I had given;
Yet men are idle, he doth say,
And so complains to heaven.
So much like man doth Satan stand,
To make their load encrease;
(Men gather stubble in my land)

And makes their number less.
That is, their Grace doth not encrease,
While Satan robs them so;

shore is believers.

He'th heard my threatenings, more or less,

To let my people go;

But all in vain, he still finds men

To work in hearts like ME-
No prophecies from heaven came

But Satan finds a way

To follow on the same in man;

So Moses tries in vain!!!

While Satan swells in arts from hell

Your land may still complain"No Moses' rod can come from God;

"He is not in the sound;

"We all know well 't must come from hell; "Throughout our land they're found "To work the same; by arts they're come, "And all's imagin'd art."

But when I do unveil MY NAME

Satan must feel the dart;

For I've a wheel beyond his skill,
That I shall so work round,

That 'tis not all the arts of hell
Can in this wheel be found.
No likeness there can e'er appear
When I my wonders show;
I'll strike the lintels of the doors,
And let my people know

"Tis but a rod that came from God,
To warn them to depart;
And my salvation they shall know,
Though first it makes them smart.
Now I'll begin in words more plain;
My rod doth here go.deep;

It falls on Satan and his men,
And all my friends feel it.

As it was then, be't known to men,
When Egypt felt the blow,
Against my people Pharaoh rose,

And would not let them go,
Till I began a heavier storm,

And made my people fly,

( 107 )

Then to the Red Sea they did go,
And here's the mystery.

To murmur then they did begin,
While Pharaoh follow'd there:
They saw the dangers they were in-
And now the truth I'll clear:

For just the same 'tis now with man;
Dangers surround you all,

And must come on, I tell you, strong,
Ere men will know their call;
For Pharaoh's host will follow close,
And dangers all surround,

Just like the shore, before 'tis o'er,
Your dangers will be found.

Now I'll explain what this doth mean :.
Dangers stand thick for man,
When I the straw shall take away,
And stubble fills your land;
That is, you'll see the mystery-
Your Corn's design'd for Straw;
And if the wheat I take away,

Then stubble all will know
Must follow next, and man perplex;

Yet thousands will complain-
"We will have food; 'tis not from God;

"We are but starv'd by men.

"The fault we see in man to be→

"They're starving of the poor:

"Shall we die so"--they'll answer “ No.

"We'll have as heretofore."

So 'twill begin, a storm to men,

These dangers will appear; And like the people at the sea,

You'll be surrounded here.

The Egypt's host did follow close;

The Red Sea stood before;

They judg'd their cause still worse and worse,

And all did mu mur there,

Till I began an arni to 1 an,

And did the waves vide:
