before him were stiled in the same verse the King of the South and fitly agree with the Seasons of the 5t and 6t Trumpet Rev. 9. of which more afterwards Again another part of the said battle is described in reference to the Pope for as in the Old Testament the Turk is foretold to be then the Jews great Enemy to withstand their return to Christ and their own Land so the Pope in the New Testament is set forth to be then the great Enemy of the Gentile Christians both which God will then bring down as many Scriptures declare Who also shall then be gathered with his complices to the Armageddon Battle as upon his account it is called Rev. 16.14 16. under the end of the sixth Vial or the beginning of the seventh called also the Battell of the Great day of God Almighty and it is more largely set forth how it will be accomplished Rev. 19.11 When the King of Kings with his Armies will come against the Beast and false Prophet and their Armies and take them both for ever destroy them c. And much is also set forth Dan. 7.9.10 c. concerning the time and manner or the Popes destruction because of whose great words the Judgement will then sit one the Throne and by a Fiery Sentence and Execution the Beast will then be consumed and the Body thereof given to the burning Flame and much to like purpose in that chapter and a complication of Judgements are in many parts of holy Scripture assigned for the ruine then of both those great Enemies besides what hath been named I only here point out but few of many in v. 22. of Ezek 38. God saith he will plead then with Gog the Turk with Pestilence with Bloud an over-flowing Rain great Haile-stones Fire and Brimstone Consider seriously the description of his ruine largely set down in 〈…〉 following chapter and the like of the Pope Rev. 16. 〈…〉 21. there are the horrours of Gods indignation in that 〈…〉 quake with Thunders and Lightning when Babylon shall come 〈…〉 before God to give unto her the Cup of the Wine of the fierce 〈◊〉 of his wrath as followed in the falling of the great Haile whereupon 〈◊〉 blsphemed God as follows whereby the fierceness of his wrath 〈◊〉 be most manifest as hath been seen in the Devil since Christ came in the Flesh who finding himself without remedy since blasphemed God which till then it was thought he durst not so for in the latter part of Rev. 19. the Fowls devour their flesh and they are cast alive into the lake of fire burning with Brimstone so Rev. 14.19 those Grapes are reaped and cast into the Wine press of Gods wrath c. In the next place unto the destruction of the said great Enemies the Scriptures adjoyn the appearance and Kingdom of Christ as the Apostle Paul joynes them 2 Tim. 4.1 and he knew he had good ground for it from Daniels Prophesie chap. 7. when the Beast is destroyed he had the Vision v. 13 14. c. now the Son of Man Jesus Christ came in the Clouds of Heaven to whom all the Kingdoms and the People are given as follows all Nations under the whole Heaven are then subject to him v. 27. read those things deliberately c. So when he had destroyed the Beast and his Complices in the end of Rev. 19. then that great Angel Christ with a great Chain binds the Devil and Satan for a 1000. years and sets up his Kingdom and Reigns with his Saints then to be raised and all such as walk in the light of the new Jerusalem all the 1000. years that very clear Prophesy hath been too well vindicated from Satanicall mists and Popish delusions to be again darkened by them or such as they seduce against holy Scriptures most evident light the same Apostle joynes them also 2 Thes 2.8 shewing the glorious appearance of Christ will be the utter destruction of Anti-christ which is another fore-runner of his glorious Kingdom c. Come to a fift the great and national restauration deliverance and conversion of the Jews and Israelites for to the former the Scriptures also joyn these their temporal and spiritual deliverance the temporal before in Joel 3. Both temporal and spiritual in Dan 12.1 2 3. And so in many expressions both are annexed to Gogs destruction when he shall come with an evil thought against them Ezck. 38. and 39. Their happiness in both was deciphered chap. 37. by raising the great army from the dry bones and joyning the two sticks both which are largely and excellently set forth and explained in the whole Chapter of which more 〈…〉 And when in the two next Chapters the hinderers 〈…〉 comes the New Jerusalem called Jehovah shamma 〈…〉 end of that Book all which fully agree with the 〈…〉 ●●velation which is the sure Key of all mystical Scripture 〈◊〉 ●●●pecting the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the latter times their conversion Zach●●● speaks of evidently chap. 12.10 when that Nation will be 〈…〉 born in a day Isa 66.8 and the iniquity of that Land be taken away in one day Zac. 3.9 then will that Bride make her self ready when all those Halelujahs shall be sung at the destruction of the Whore when the said Kingdome of Christ shall begin and the readiness of the Bride shall appear unto whom the abundance of the Gentiles shall joyn themselves as Rev. 19.1 to the 9th verse and Esa 60.3 4 5 c. Then also will Christs visible Kingdome of power be set up on earth First by removing out of it all things that offend viz. the Pope and Turk with their adherents with hypocrites and those that do iniquities all to be removed aforehand Mat. 13.41 42. which by the said judgement Dan. 7. are to be swept away with a temporal sudden destruction set up for to judge then such wicked quick 2 Tim. 4.1 and Rev. 11.19 and then by gathering both Jews and Gentiles into his fold when the Jews shall be honourably sent into their Land by the Gentiles and the Gentiles unconverted before shall in great abundance be brought in to Christ by means of the Jews upon the manifestation that God is with them Esa 60.2 3 c. But then thirdly That Kingdome of Christ will consist of another sort of Subjects such as Christ will bring with him when he comes and which before were said by the Apostle to sleep before in Christ in respect of their bodies 1 Thes 4.14 which shall then be raised from their graves and then be re-united unto their spirits at the first blessed and holy resurrection as it is called Rev. 20.6 who shall then live and reign with Christ 1000 years vers 4. and in the end of vers 6. which is his judging also of the dead at that time Rev. 11.19 by rewarding his servants the Prophets and his Saints and all that fear his name both small and great both then living and before dead when as for

devoured them v. 9. which was the temporal execution of Gods judgement on Satans last hosts 10. Whereupon follows the eternal execution of Gods wrath upon Satan himself for he is then cast into the lake of fire and brimstone to be tormented perpetually with the Beast and false Prophet sent thither above 1000 years before by means of his seducement v. 10. 11. Hereupon ensues the general Judgement first manifested in the sudden dissolution of the whole frame and fabrick of nature in that heaven and earth flee away from the face of him that the great white Throne was set for to sit upon who had upheld all things till then by the word of his power Heb. 1.3 who it seems then will ●●solve them into the first Chaos of confusion upon the ranture and chinge of the Saints but from thence no place will be found for them v. 11. but as Job saith these material heavens shall be no more But then 12. and lastly The general Judgement proceeds of all men good and bad both in respect of declaration or sentence and execution accordingly as in many particulars is set down to the end of the Chapter And whereas Hell and Death are in the issue said to be cast into the lake of fire and brimstone first by hell there may be understood the grave as sheol in the old Testament Ps 16. and Gen. 42.38 so 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in the new 1 Cor. 15.55 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 O grave where is thy victory in which Chapter what the Apostle Paul had taught of destroying the last enemy death is here metaphorical described to be fulfilled to wit in its capacity the subject matter of death and hell in that sence being now for ever taken away thenceforth no more use of either to be at all whereby Christ is made the death of death and death the last enemy to be destroyed will then as he speaks be swallowed up in victory Now as the Jews looking only at Christs second glorious coming foretold in the old Testament did usually-overlook such things as set forth the humility of his first coming for both his first and second coming as Mr. Mede observes are promiscuously set down in the old Testament except in Daniel so Christians under the new Testament have been apt to overlook the first resurrection called in Scripture the resurrection of the just under a confused notion taken up of the last general resurrection which once for all for the mysteries thereof were revealed by degrees our Saviour hath by his beloved Disciple John so fully at last declared by an orderly explication of both in this 20th Chap. of the Rev. for a sure Key to open otherwise much mystical Scripture concerning the last times of the good world as part of the 11th Chap. before to v. 15. was a Table for part of this Book in reference to the order of the bad times of the former evil world to chap. 19. adjoyning to it there the state of the good world to follow it with the continuance thereof chap. 19 and 20. and proceeds further in the two last Chapters to explain the glorious state and priviledges of it as he is wont in this Book after things more generally delivered to give more particular explications of them so here when he had spoken of joy at the marriage of the Lamb chap. 19. and that his wise had made her self ready v. 7. which he explains chap. 21.9 10. to be the New Jerusalem come down from God out of heaven which appears to be the spirits of just men made perfect which then came with Christ at his second coming as Zach. had prophesied of them c. being by a Metonimy of the subject the inhabitants of the New Jerusalem above Gal. 4. till they came to take their bodies wherefore that City prepared Heb. 11.10 16. for the faithfull is said to have foundations and so is described Rev. 21. And the Apostle Paul explains Zach. in 1 Thes 3.14 calling it the coming of Christ with all his Saints and in chap. 4.14 yet more clearly he saith them also that sleep in Jesus will God bring with him viz. to be united to their bodies at the first blessed resurrection to inhabit the said New Jerusalem on earth that hath foundations and behold Christs glory there Joh. 17.24 And that this first resurrection is from the death of the body hath been cleared by many but Mr. Farnworth in his Millenium hath added lately divers evident reasons respecting that and other matters of like nature pag. 49 50 c. and proves that it cannot be understood of a spiritual resurrection to which purpose were divers hints given in the end of our Irenicon see the Appendix And thus much for the grounds of our first demonstration from those Scriptures that concern all the said particulars to which a great deal more might be added of which we may say as our Saviour of Moses the Prophets that such as would not believe them they would not believe though one rose from the dead so such as would reject or evade so many evidences of Scripture would not believe though many more of the like nature were added so hardly are prepossessed opinions and prejudices against some divine Truths of this nature removed amongst some c. as I confess I experimentally found till God was pleased by many providences and helps afforded together with remarkable guidance of his word and spirit to teach me otherwise as he must doe in some things before men will rightly learn them though by the strength of Arguments conviction may be wrought c. Now from all the particulats before in and after the said thousand years of Christs reign with his Saints the Argument may thus be framed All such particulars which the holy Scriptures declare shall be accomplished before in and after the said thousand years shall certainly be fulfilled But the holy Scriptures declare most or all the said particulars before in or after the said thousand years to be accomplished on earth Therefore then they most certainly shall be fulfilled on earth The Major Proposition is undeniable to Christians The Minor is abundantly proved from many or all the particulars before specified under the three heads 2d Arg. I proceed to the second Argument drawn from sundry Texts of the Old Testament speaking of what concerns that time of Christs Kingly Office in the thousand years which are so explained by the spirit of God in the New Testament First for the begining of Christs Kingdom of power on earth when the Stone becomes a Mountain Dan. 2.35 Answerable whereunto in Christs Kingdom of the Stone he is set forth by a Lamb Rev. 5. that was slain that had seven horns and seven eyes denoting his perfect power and wisdom in that state but at the end of it he comes with his heavenly Hosts Rev. 19.11 c. and conquers the Beast and false Prophet and casts them into the Lake chap. 20. binds
