years and for the ruine of the last Gog and Magog after the said thousand years Our blessed Saviour hath most orderly exactly and strongly confirmed the same in those many circumstances thereof in the following part of this Chapter when the last Enemy death will be destroyed and the Devil cast into the Firy Lake and I hope no Conscientious knowing Christian of any rank will dare to deny or gainsay any particular in this great Foundation so explained carried on and applied all along in the word of God c. of which much more is said in our Everlasting Gospel on Gen. 3.15 And Enochs Vision of the first Act of Christs Judgement Jude 14. also confirms the same as it is explained by Daniel 7.7 8 9. when the Judgement is said to be set and the Books opened to give the body of the Beast to the burning flame which will be at the beginning of the said thousand years as also Gogs the Turks destruction Ezekiel 38. and 39. before the setting up of the New Jerusalem chap. 40. to the end of that Book with the taking away others that do offend then Mat. 73.41 when also he will judge the Saints with reward Rev. 11.19 so judging both the quick and dead then 2 Tim. 4.1 and likewise Revelations 20.7 8 c. is contained Christs last proceeding in his Judgement after the 1000 years against the last Gog and Magog as by Christs Revelation is here explained to judge those quick and then the dead when their Judgement is said again to be set and the books opened first by declaring the absolution of the Saints written in the book of Life and pronouncing against all the wicked a Sentence of condemnation to eternal death c. Of the first Act of Judgement also Balaam speaks Numbers 24. when the Romane Kingdom should perish for ever explained again by our Saviour Revel 17.8 when in the last Head it should go into predition whereby an utter end will be put to the four mettle Kingdoms or the Gentiles Dominion and so this Prophesie passeth in the same course with the former as another Confirmation of the same Truth How Christ will eminently at the beginning and fully at the end of the said thousand years break the Serpents Satans Head c. And these are strong and clear evidences from Gods Word of Christs taking away the Enemies of himself and his Church in those times and that state of things shortly coming on to these we might add the Type of Abrahams subduing the five Kings and rescuing Lot And of Davids overcoming all his Enemies at last and leaving his Kingdom to Solomon his Son in a peaceable condition c. and as the Enemies destruction will be a great matter of the Saints Praise and Rejoycing at their first said blessed Resurrection so will also their enjoyment of the happy Vision of Christs Glory in his Davidical Kingdom then be given to them as John 17.24 with the happy communion with him and one with another and their inheriting all the promised Mercies of that time and state of the New Jerusalem Revel 21. and 22. by the Divine promised Seed of the Woman who shall then prolong his days in the world and abundantly see his own Spiritual Seed so that he will therein be satisfied when the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand as foretold Esa 53. namely when all Saints are come in at the general Rapture and change of them all 1 Cor. 15.51 52. And that the earth might continue to be the stage for all such actings of God in the world God upon his smelling a sweet savour from Noahs offering through Christ to come makes a Covenant with him after the Flood for all Creatures to that happy time and that then there should be the greatest fruitfulness in it his word is clear and as in Noah as a Type was signified how Christ would be the safe Ark of his Church in the beginning and after the end of the said 1000 years and also by his Prophesie of the Gentiles Japhets Posterities mercies at their foresaid first and second Call and Fulness which last will be performed in the said 1000 years when Jews and Gentiles shall both rejoyce together when all those many Promises concerning that state of the Gentiles happiness in the whole book of God will take their full effect And as surely by vertue of Gods Covenant with Abraham shall all his spiritual seed through that his own divine seed Christ then enjoy the many Promises still remaining in Old and New Testament to be made good to them in the natural life then whether circumcised or uncircumcised and such raised Saints then that are interessed therein will also enjoy by the same Covenant that happy New Jerusalem state in that City prepared for them then Heb. 11.10 16. and also all the spiritual seed of Isaac and Jacob with them in all the priviledges and benefits belonging to the same which the said Saints shall then be raysed to inherit c. as the spiritual seed of Abraham and I doubt not but the greatest part of the Promises in Old and New Testament made to God's people as the spiritual seed of Abraham Isaac and Jacob both circumcised and uncircumcised will chiefly have their fulfilling in that state and time wherein all such their natural race will have the greatest share and such promises as are made to all Israel or to Ephraim or Joseph joyntly with Judah do especially refer unto though not only unto them of which if duly considered a large volume might profitably be written And if lastly we look to that last sure foundation of Davids sure mercies concerning his Throne and Kingdom which Christ the Son of David should enjoy as the dayes of heaven upon earth or as long as the Sun and Moon shall endure though Davids natural race had forfeited their interest before Mic. 2.10 yet God laid sure foundations for the other 2 Sam. 7.8 9. to the end and Psal 89. with multitudes of Scripture evidences to the same purpose and all Believers as Esay shews shall also have their part in the same sure mercies of David Chap. 55.3 appertaining then to that time and state and very many other Promises were made to that end likewise And the interest of Christs said Davidical Kingdom seen by Daniel a long time past in Vision to be at the end of the fourth Kingdom chap. 7.13 14. which at this time Christ continues in heaven to receive and then to return Luke 19.17 it is that that contains in it eminently all the other said mercies to all suffering Saints that must then reign with Christ the said thousand years and joyntly enjoy all the happiness thereof and thence forth and for ever whatsoever things God hath provided for them which eye hath not seen nor ear heard c. though the things of this state may mostly be both heard and sten as decyphered by Gods Word Concerning which I conceive sufficient hath

I conceive spoken sufficiently to this purpose before I shall therefore here adde no more Now for Application We shall onely endeavour to give some breif hints thereof referring their inlargements to future opportunity if God be pleased to afford it for I cannot speak largby the Press c. 1. Vse of Inform. This may inform all Preachers of the Gospel and all wise and faithful Christians that desire to be well and surely guided in these great things of God respecting the said first Resurrection of what concernment it is to labour well to understand First the curious work of this Key given by Jesus Christ since he ascended unto the Father And Secondly the right Use and Improvement of it The curious work in it is that it is Divinely fitted for all ancient Prophesie and indeed for all Prophesie respecting the general good of Gods faithful Servants throughout all the Bible and of all times throughout the being of the World all setting forth the necessity of the Saints said Resurrection so revealed by our Saviour as we shewed c. And the excellent Improvement and Use thereof is to shew their special and peculiar interest as well as the general in all the revealed promised Mercies and Covenants in the whole Book of God viz. How or under what capacity any such special Mercy is derived to them and made effectual to their Souls in such or such a Dispensation of Grace to them particularly which hath not efficatiously reached to many others at least as yet but in Charity and thankfulness to endeavour truely that it may do so also if it may be and according to their understanding well the curious work of the said Key and the due improvement thereof All judicious Christians may find from thence an excellent sure guidance I say again an excellent sure guidance by divine assistance to judge of the true intent and meaning of all Prophetick Scripture all hangs upon that one Hindge of such said breaking the Serpent Satan head viz. both his head of Craft and Dominion and all drive to the same end of Restauration of men and Creatures in the World as in the several branches of such revealed Mercies may appear if they be rightly considered and all to be accomplished by the said promised Seed within the time of his Mediatorship Before those things shall be enjoyed that Eye hath not seen nor Ear heard nor entered into the Heart of man to conceive which will be in the highest Heavens afterwards Whereas these mercies in the interim will be much of another nature whilest Christ is redeeming and restoring Men and other Creatures from the bondage of Corruption unto that glorious liberty of the Sons of God And though there be many particular and special Prophesies many times yet they are in their drift and subserviency to be reduced thereunto and therefore the allegorizing of any sorts of Prophesies that have a direct tendencie to any branch of such reavealed ancient Promises and Covenants must needs be erroneous upon whatsoever fair pretenses such sense or senses are put upon them by any man or men whatsoever And therefore if we look unto what God declared in general to Adam and Eve and for their Spiritual off-Spring through Christ that said Divine Seed of the Woman about 4000 years after to come in the Flesh Both in respect of the evil to be removed and the good to be obtained answerable to those divers times and divers ways after declared Mercies acording to the good pleasure of God to the fore Fathers Or consider aright the Covenant which God made with Noah that Type of Christ for the preservation of the renewed Earth as the Stage whereupon God would act in all future Mercies to be known and performed in their due time and order to the end of the World and thereupon the Mercies then to his people were said to be as the Waters of Noah unto God himself that was sure and infallible and by that Covenant both all Creatures with men have their usual preservation and Provision by Seed time and Harvest c. and their greatest fruitfulness is especially reserved for those last times when the Serpents head shall be broken both eminently at Christs coming from the right hand of the Father at the begining or when his shall sully destroy all his Churches Enemies with death the last after the said thousand years Or consider the blessings of Shem and his Race to Abraham and thence especially to all Israel the twelve Tribes and so in Christs lineage and forward or the Predictions of the Calls of Japhets posterity the Gentiles since by holy Scripture explained and applied Or as Jews and Gentiles both united under that one King Christ Jesus which is that Son of David that shall sit on Davids Throne so long as the Sun and Moon shall endure according to Davids sure mercies promised respecting his said Kingdom and all other Saints interest therein through Christ for to them also belongs the sure Mercies of David Esa 55.3 whereby they are also secured for Eternity for such shall not be hurt by the second death as rise then to Reign with Christ in that Kingdom which onely will continue to the finishing of his Mediatorship but then is by him to be given up to the Father 1 Cor. 15. And is that that must be during the Worlds continuance as appears by our fifteen Reasons in the New Jerusalem pag. 9 10. when under him the said Saints glorious King Head and Husband who prayed in that sence before his death that they should be so made perfect in one as his Bride or mystical Body and willed they should behold his glory then Joh. 17.21 23 24. when there will 〈…〉 very gracious and happy performance of all such promised mercies in the 〈…〉 to the capacity of the Persons or Creatures that are to be so blened preserved or restored So that they attend to this Issue that Christ may be manifest in the world before all sorts of Creatures to be as perfect yea a much more perfect yea an infinitely more perfect Restorer and Redeemer than the Devil was or could be a dessolator and destroyer as all those said predictions in their several times and kinds with their subsequent Scripture Confirmations and explication sufficiently restifie being all opened by and accommodated unto this Divine Key of the Son of God the Wisdom of the Father by whom the worlds were made viz. the Old World the New world and the World to come shall be Heb. 1.3 with Rev. 21.5 who hath and doth and will till then uphold all things by his Divine Power as well as he hath Redeemed us by his Blood who shall then accordingly inherit all things answerably to this his said threefold right assigned by the Father unto him in his said Kingdom and by him to his suffering Saints Rev. 21.7 in the time of his said Mediatorship or of his Davidical Kindom and said New Jerusalem state upon which accounts the
