The flaming sword, or, A sign from heaven

Notes

Walker experienced a vision of an angel-like messenger who described the signs of "the latter days" marked by bloody warfare, enormous population losses, and global devastation. Redemption is to come through a "Branch from the root of Jesse" and he will perform "remarkable wonders" such that "the Jews and Gentiles shall coincide in sentiments and become one and indivisable [!], declaring Jesus Christ to be their only king and sovereign ..." (pp. 10- 11). Walker’s name appears on p. 12.
