that there shall ever be here on earth any such glorious place or being Answ. That which is impossible with man is possible with God who is able to doe all things And hath any man found God a lyar at any time who is faithfull in all his promises and just in all his wayes But Peter saith That in the latter dayes there shall be seoffers who shall say where is the promise of his comming for all things continue as they were from the beginning and so deny the word of truth But saith Peter We who are written in the booke of life Neverthelesse we according to his promise looke for new heavens and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousnesse which is Jesus Christ as John saith I heard a great voyce out of heaven saying Behold the Tabernacle of God is with men and he will dwel with them and they shall be his people and God himselfe shall be with them and be their God as Solomon saith It is true indeed that God will dwell on the earth And for a sure evidence of the same saith the Text I Jesus have sent mine Angel to testifie unto you these things in the Churches which things Peter questioned not but to his Church said Beloved seeing that ye looke for such things be diligent that ye may be found in peace without spot and blamelesse And to any Church that shall question these things saith Iohn These sayings are faithfull and true for I John saw and heard these things and I testifie unto every man that heareth the words of the prophesie of this booke wheresoever it is published that if any man shall adde too or take away from the words of the prophesie of this book God shall take away his part out of the booke of life and also take away his part out of the holy City which City saith the T●x lyeth four-square the length is as the breadth twelve thousand furlongs the squares lye East West North and South The East and West are derived from the antipodes of the rising and setting of the Sunne in the firmament all heavens created on the fourth day The North and the South are derived from the antipodes of the two ends of the worlds Axletree called the North and South pole or the two frozen zones of the earth by reason of the Suns obscurity and distance This City is to be on earth because it lyeth four-square East West North and South It is walled about and so bounded the length is as the breadth twelve thousand furlongs which is fifteen hundred miles The text saith in it there shall be no need of the Sun But the Text doth not say that it is not within the compasse of the Sunne therefore on earth For in heaven Gods glorious kingdome habitation and dwelling place is no Sun and where there is no Sunne there can be no East West North nor South therefore this City cannot be meant nor understood to be heaven but is meant and to be understood that such a City shall be on earth Now the reason why these things of the Devils confinement or imprisonment for a thousand yeares and the glorious new Jerusalem with all its glorious accommodations promised are not believed by us Gentiles is this As the Devill by his power in mortality deceived the Jews of the suffering comming of Jesus Christ for mans redemption though promised and prophefied of by the only looking for Jesus Christ a conquerour and King of Kings according to the promises of a conquering Saviour by the Devils deceit esteeesteeming his suffering Redeemers condition to be too mean a condition for the Sonne of God and so therefore did not believe him to be the Son of God but upon the Crosse said unto him If thou be the Son of God come down from the Crosse and then we will believe thee And so the Devill deceived the Iewes from their benefit of Jesus Christ his redeeming condition And so also the Devill by his power in mortality goes about to deceive us Gentiles of Jesus Christ his glorious conquering Princely condition by putting on this mask of infidelity upon us Gantiles notwithstanding all the sure promises of God that for Christ to come downe out of heaven and on earth to dwell in a walled Citie that is bounded is too glorious a condition for man to behold and for the earth to bear and therefore through unbeliefe and the Devils deceit doe scoffingly say where is the promise of his comming Expecting no other comming but his comming to judgement and so doth the Devill goe about to deceive us Gentiles of our benefit of Christ his glorious conquering reigne and condition here on earth in that great and holy City new Jerusalem Noah had three sons Shem Ham and Japhet Noah was drunke Ham jeeres at his Fathers nakednesse and threfore is cursed and deprived of all the precious promises made to Noah and his seed Shem and Japhet were sorry and ashamed to see their Fathers nakednesse and therefore going backward covered their Fathers nakednesse upon whom the promises of God to Noah were confirmed notwithstanding the said confirmation of promises inasmuch as the Devils originall power in and over mortality by Adam is not taken away his deceit ceaseth not for as he did deceive the Jews of Christs suffering comming so he laboureth to deceive us Gentiles of Christ his conquering comming as he doth deceive the Heathen of both who neither have had in the one nor shall have in the other any more benefit then the bruit beasts therefore saith Iohn without this City shal be dogs murtherers whoremongers adulterers lyers into whom the Devil when he shal be let loose for a little season shall again enter into under the name of Gog and Magog to make them more wicked then ever they were before according to that Text Out of whom the Devill is cast and returnes again he carrieth with him seven worse spirits then the former and so the latter end of that man is worse then the beginning because they have no share or part in the booke of life nor in this holy City Quest When will the time of the comming of Christ be to reign on earth for 1000. years Ans. That man that will declare more then God hath revealed must be wiser then God made him for saith the Text If an Angell from heaven teach any other doctrine then what is delivered believe him not and as is also said If they will not believe the Law and the Prophets neither will they believe if one should rise from the dead The precise time God hath concealed therefore no man can declare it But so far as God hath revealed and prefidents of Scripture doe make out so farre may a man suppose thus Man was tempted by the Devill to disobey God whose disobedience God suffered from the creation of Adam to Noah's flood which was 1656. yeares And as God waited with patience on Sathans deceived ones
