I thought that I was walking along with my brother Richard, who is now dead, along a pleasant road. On the right side were very large trees, and one in particular near the road was very lofty; but it was all hollow, nothing remaining but the trunk and the bark. On the top were placed thirteen spires or steeples, similar to those on St. Nicholas’ Church, in Newcastle. I said to my brother, “See, what a curiosity!” It is so high that we are not on safe ground, for it cannot possibly stand.” After I had walked about a hundred yards, I lost sight of my brother, and heard a voice cry out, “The steeples are falling; take care, the Northumberland Bard.” I looked quickly back and saw the top of the centre steeple fall about 20 yards from me. I thought I saw a beautiful woman, having a towel in her hand, who said, “Mr. Martin, these fine trees should all be washed, or else they will all become decayed, like that which has fallen and is now level with the earth.” Then I awoke, and found it was a dream.
The Interpretation of the above vision:
The interpretation is from God.
The large hollow tree on the side of the road, with the thirteen steeples upon it, signifies that the churches have become decayed and corrupted;
and as it fell towards me, that signifies that the Martinian philosophy will cause all false systems to fall, and bring all to one true religion, the apostolic church of Christ.
The beautiful woman that spoke to me was God’s holy angel, who, by informing me that the other trees (the churches of the living God) should be all washed, signified to me that I should make it known to the world, being the only inspired writer till time shall be no more.
The British nation, therefore, must begin to purify its corrupted churches.
