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.
