year that King Vzziah dyed 2 Chron. 26. 23. The Prophets discovery of the Lord is as followeth I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne as ready to judge Psa. 9. 7 8. But the Lord shall endure for ever he hath prepared his throne for judgement and he shall judge the world in righteousness he shall minister judgemen to the people in uprightness See Dan. 7. 9 10. I beheld till the thrones were cast down and the Ancient of days did sit whose garment was white as snow and the hair of his head like the pure wool his throne was like the very flame and his wheeles as burning fire a fiery stream issued and came forth from before him thousand thousands ministred unto him and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him The judgement was set and the books were opened See that in Rev. 4. 2 3. And immediately I was in the Spirit and behold a throne was set in heaven and one sate on the throne and he that sate was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine two glistering stones And there was a rain-bowe round about the throne in sight like unto an emerald which holds forth the Covenant of Grace See Revel. 6. 16. And they said to the mountains and rocks Fall on us and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb And that in Rev. 20. 12. And I saw the dead small and great stand before God and the books were opened and another book was opened which is the book of life and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books according to their works At vers. 19. And I saw a great white throne and him that sate on it from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away and there was found no place for them Or the Throne may be taken thus A Throne denotes Dignity Rule Kingliness Authority Sitting holds forth Rest The words being thus explained the meaning of them is this Isaiah saw the Lord sitting upon the Throne that is ruling reigning triumphing in a peaceable manner over his enemies High and lifted up that is far above all principalities and powers might and dominion and every name that is named not onely in this world but that which is to come Eph. 1. 21. And his train filled the temple That is the skirts of his Robes with which he sate upon the Throne filled the Temple that is the Saints for they are the Temple of the living God 1 Cor. 3. 16 17. Above it that is above the Throne stood the Seraphims What are those Angels appearing as fire Psal. 104. 4. Who maketh his angels spirits his ministers a flaming fire These stood and attended Christ See Dan. 7. 10. Thousand thousands ministred unto him and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before the Ancient of days that sate upon the Throne whose garments were white as snow Each one had six wings with twain he covered his face as not able to endure the brightness of Christ's glory even as Moses did see Exod. 3. 6. Moreover he said I am the God of thy fathers the God of Abraham the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob And Moses hid his face for he was afraid to look upon God See that likewise in 1 King 19. 11 12 13. And he said Go forth and stand upon the mount before the Lord And behold the Lord passed by and a great and strong winde rent the mountains and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord but the Lord was not in the winde and after the winde an earthquake but the Lord was not in the earthquake and after the earthquake a fire but the Lord was not in the fire and after the fire a still small voice And it was so when Elijah heard it that he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entring in of the cave Elijah could not endure the glory of God and therefore puts a mantle before his face And with twain he covered his feet as abashed in apprehension of their own infirmities and imperfections compared with God's incomparable perfection and majestie Job 4. 18. Behold he put no trust in his servants and his angels he charged with folly And with twain he did flie Which speaks their readiness and swiftness to go about God's business Psal. 110. 20. Bless the Lord ye his angels that excel in strength that do his commandments hearkning unto the voice of his word And one cried to another or this cried to this Holy holy holy Their constant employment is praising God See Rev. 4. 8. And the four beasts had each of them six wings about them and they were full of eyes within and they rest not day and night saying Holy holy holy Lord God Almighty which was and is and is to come The whole earth is full of his glory or his glory is the fulness of the whole earth He fills heaven and earth with his glory we can look nowhere but behold glory Psal. 104. 24 25. Lord how manifold are thy works in wisdom hast thou made them all the earth is full of thy riches so is this great and wide sea And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried and the house was filled with smoak that is the posts of the door of the house or temple moved The posts are those upon which the door hangs Their moving was a signe of God's indignation See Amos 9. 1. I saw the Lord standing upon the altar and he said Smite the lintel of the door that the posts may shake and cut them in the head all of them and I will slay the last of them with the sword he that fleeth of them shall not flee away and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered And the house was filled with smoak Another signe of his fierce anger incensed See Psal. 18. 7 8. Then the earth shook and trembled the foundations of the hills moved and were shaken because he was wroth There went up a smoak out of his nostrils and fire out of his mouth devoured coals were kindled by it See Deut. 29. 20. The Lord will not spare him but then the anger of the Lord and his jealousie shall smoak against that man Or by smoak here is meant darkness see Rev. 15. 8. And the temple was filled with smoak from the glory of God from his power and no man was able to enter into the temple till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled In this symbolical Vision Isaiah saw the Lord and the discovery of the Lord had such an efficacie and power upon his spirit that he was forced to cry out that he was undone So that the words are a fruit of that discovery that Isaiah had of Christ And there are in them these things to be considered First Here is what Isaiah said when he saw the Lord Wo is me or Wo belongs to

last thing to be enquired into is the ends of his coming They are these things following The first is this That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather tother into one all things in Christ both which are in heaven and which are on earth Eph. 1. 10. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet or with a trumpet and a great voice and they shall gather together his elect from the four windes from one end of heaven to the other Matth. 24. 31. or from the uttermost parts of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven Mar. 13. 27. Secondly that he might gather his people together unto the supper of the great God that is to say to eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of captains and the flesh of mighty men and the flesh of horses and of them that sit on them and the flesh of all men both free and bond both small and great Friends we shall feed upon all our enemies we shall make a supper of them all Rev. 19. 18. And I saw an angel standing in the sun and he cried with a loud voice saying to all fowls that flie in the midst of heaven Come and gather your selves together to the supper of the great God vers. 17. The third end is to take vengeance on them that know not God and that obey not the Gospel of our Lord Jesus 2 Thes. 1. 7 8 9. And to you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God and that obey not the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power The fourth end of his coming is that he might destroy that wicked one And then shall that wicked one be revealed whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming which is Antichrist 2 Thes. 2. 8. If it be thus that My God Thy God Our God Your God shall come yea will come Be not afraid of his coming and of his fiery appearance he comes to save you to redeem you he brings with him Redemption and Salvation he comes to deliver you from your corruptions from your temptations from your bondage and affliction Why should ye fear Therefore lift up your heads for your redemption draws nigh If it be thus that My God Thy God Your God shall come Do not doubt of his coming Say to them that are of a fearful heart Be strong fear not behold your God will come You need not fear but that he will But when will he come He shall suddenly come Mal. 3. 1. The Lerd whom ye seek even the Messenger of the covenant whom ye delight in shall suddenly come into his temple Behold I come quickly hold that fast which thou hast that no man take thy crown Revel. 3. 11. Friends look to your Crown God hath set a Crown of pure gold that is of salvation upon your heads take heed that Satan rob you not of it Behold I come as a thief blessed is he that watcheth and keepeth his garments lest he walk naked and they see his shame Rev. 16. 15. Behold I come quickly blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecies of this book Rev. 22. 7. Behold I come quickly and my reward is with me to give every man according to his work vers. 12. As the light cometh out of the east and shineth even unto the west so shall also the coming of the Son of man be which will be with speed quickly Matth. 24. 27. He hath promised that he will come and come quickly Quest But may some say Where is the promise of his coming for since the fathers and Apostles fell asleep all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation Answ. Take heed what you say This was the saying of scoffers that walked after their own lusts See 2 Pet. 3. 4. Quest But may some say There are a great many things to be fulfilled and accomplished before Christ comes in this manner as The calling of the Jews The bringing in of the Gentiles The time of restitution of all things spoken of in Acts 2. 20 21. and divers other things spoken of in Matth. 24. Also Satan is to be cast into the bottomless pit and to be shut up there and to have a seal set upon him that he should deceive the Nations no more till the thousand yeers should be fulfilled after that he must be loosed for a little season Rev. 20. 1 2 3. Answ. To all these Objections I answer thus It is true there are the Jews to be called and the fulness of the Gentiles to be brought in but when this shall be no man knows and for ought that we know it may be quickly in a very short time in the twinkling of an eye And as for the restitution of all things which is to be fulfilled before the coming of Christ that may be as soon for ought that we know And as to those things spoken of in the 24 of Matthew which are to be fulfilled before the coming of Christ I say The most part of them are already fulfilled and the rest are about fulfilling and will be fulfilled in a very short time And as to Satan's being bound and cast into the bottomless pit and there to be shut up and sealed that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand yeers be fulfilled I say this That Satan hath been bound already and cast into the bottomless pit and there was shut up and sealed that he should not deceive the nations I say he was comparatively to that which he is now and that he is let loose again If ever the Dragon was let loose he is let loose now and he is now gon out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth Gog and Magog to gather them together to battel the number of whom is as the sand of the sea And they shall go upon the breadth of the earth and compass the camp of the Saints about and the beloved City and fire shall come down from God out of heaven and devour them And after this the devil that deceived them shall be cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are and shall be tormented day and night for ever and for ever And if I be out in this then I shall say thus That a thousand yeers with the Lord are as one day 2 Pet. 3. 8. And by the way note this That I do not believe that it is so to be understood that Satan shall be so shut up as that he shall not decive some If it be so That which any of you hath already hold fast until Christ comes Rev. 2. 25.
