DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

George Fox preaches about the power of spiritual weapons over carnal
weapons, emphasizing that what is established by the sword is sustained
by the sword, while what is established by spiritual weapons is upheld
by spiritual means. He encourages believers to be peacemakers, holding
dominion over those who disrupt peace through the power of God. Fox
prophesies a new and living way emerging from the north, transforming
nations like waters, and urges against harming those who recognize the
earth belongs to the Lord. He speaks of the days of virtue, love, and
peace dawning, with the Lamb overcoming earthly kings with the sword of
the spirit, ensuring victory.

That Which Is Set Up By The Sword (1652)

Friends, - that which is set up by the sword, is held up by the sword;
and that which is set up by spiritual weapons, is held up by spiritual
weapons, and not by carnal weapons. The peacemaker hath the kingdom, and
is in it; and hath dominion over the peace-breaker, to calm him in the
power of God.

And friends, let the waves break over your heads. There is rising a new
and living way out of the north, which makes the nations like waters.
Hurt not the vines, nor the oil, nor such as know that "the earth is the
Lord's, and the fullness thereof." The days of virtue, love, and peace,
are come and coming, and the Lamb hath and had the kings of the earth to
war withal, who will overcome with the sword of the spirit, the word in
his mouth; for the Lamb shall have the victory.

And are not some like Ephraim, with a miscarrying womb? which have not
brought forth the substance, the birth form above; but have brought
forth children to murder?

G.F.
