A29711	The temple opened, or, The great mystery of the millennium and the first resurrection revealed and found to be different from all the accounts that have been given thereof by any who have hitherto wrote on the same subject : more fully and plainly opening the nature of the death humbly presented to the King and Parliament by Thomas Brookhouse.

former Methods than a Personal The Last is if alive A Good Philosopher and Divine But a Bad Mariner Though at Roterdam and a worse Husbandman For He makes His Vessel to return back before it comes to its ordained Port Empire and The Gospel ought to Sail to the Extreamest Parts before They Return He makes also His Witnesses to Rise BARE GRAIN Whereas 't is First to rot in the Ground and come up with a New Body as The Apostle plainly demonstrates 'T is well known France is not the Extreamest Nation The Witnesses therefore could not Rise There The Extrusion of the Poor Reffugies was only an Act of Secretion By Him who has his Fan in his hand who being unwilling to have the Wheat and Chaff burned together dispersed them abroad not for their Ruine but their Safety Sodom could not be destroyed till These Lots were gone out And Now The Fatal Day is approaching The French Tyrant was Raised up on purpose to be thrown down and made Great that Neighbour of his might be made Greater But this runs me on another Subject I Freely acknowledge that what I have wrote on these Subjects is New But this gives it a title to Truth Since all who have hitherto wrote on the Same Points have been mistaken Now if Persons would but lay aside their Prejudices to Causes and Persons and consider of things sincerely and impartially I doubt not but they would confess that I have made good The Title and that These things will remain no longer a Mystery to all Generations To God be the Praise and Glory who hath hid these things from the Wise and Prudent and Revealed them unto Babes See! How The Heaven and Earthly Powers Run back This World 's The Green Jerusalem's The Jack The Spirit is The Bias and The NAME Of Him who is the BRANCH Begins The Game Of Time being no Longer ANd I saw another Mighty Angel come down from Heaven c. This Angel comes on a Solemn Embassy from the Mighty God and therefore his Garb is very magnificent He is clothed with a Cloud has a Rainbow on his head his face is like the Sun and his feet as Pillars of Fire The Great Business of his Embassy is to instruct The World in the Great Concern of TIME and to Commence a NEW Dispensation Which is first to be Published throughout the world and then TIME is to be no longer This NEW Dispensation is plainly intimated in the Commission He gives to John saying Thou must Prophecy AGAIN Before Many People c. The Open Book in his hand is The Book of the OLD Dispensation and his Commanding John to eat it up is the Cancelling of it and The Commencing a New One. This Solemn Act of eating it up lays it up in a safe place that Man may come at it at all times and so renders him inexcusable before the Great Judge The King is come himself The WORD is upon his White Horse and though We may regard his Picture in his absence and call it The King yet to call The Written Word so in his Presence is something unmannerly I have a due value for The Written Word of God But a much greater for The 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or The ETERNAL WORD The One is The Original The other is but The Copy WORDS Printed or writen are but painted And we have had a great many unhappy Artists who have made The Copy very differing from The Original Some of The Draughts look more like J than Jesus The True word is only Audible and not visible No man yet ever saw words only heard them Therefore what is written or Painted in our Books cannot be The True and Real word Before The Marriage 'T is usual to send The Picture But when The Bridegroom comes 't is laid aside If it be asked how we shall distinguish I Answer The Spirit is our Helper and The Bride knows Her Lord. But to Return to The Angel His Drapery is all Hiroglyphick and plainly declares in what part of the world he delivers his Errand viz in the West 'T is the Setting Sun of the Gospel which sets under a Cloud when The Sun is setting 't is usual to see the Rayes dart down on the Sea and Earth like Pillars of Fire Before The Church was all-glorious without but under This New Dispensation She is all-glorious with in Her State is now inverted And This Angel coming to proclaim a New Dispensation and to usher in The Refreshing Times is Clothed with a Cloud which is a Symbol both of Change and Refreshment The Eastern Sun of Righteousness shining on the Western Cloud makes The Rainbow which is a very Comfortable Symbol and assures us God is mindful of his Promise which Promise He Performes by Renewing all The Old Eastern Images in the west For the Death Birth Resurrection Ascension c. of Christ are again Renewed in His Witnesses or Church Regenerate And These Things being strange to The world are appointed to be Published John Therefore is Commanded by The Angel to Prophecy AGAIN And He cryed with a loud voice as when a Lyon roareth He comes from the Lyon of the Tribe of Judah and therefore speaks in his Masters Language But besides His Embassy being to all the World should He not cry a loud He would not be heard And when He had cryed Seven Thunders uttered their Voices c. Since these Thunders are sealed I will not be too busie with them 't is probable they are the Seven years of the Seventh Angels sounding betwixt the Second and Third Woe which are a Mystery till the Last Blast And standing on The Sea and upon The Earth He lift up his hand and swore by Him That liveth for ever and ever c. I Never see The Sun Setting under a Cloud with his Feet like Pillars of Fire but it puts me into a Fit of devotion Thinking of The Most Solemn Oath of This Angel which puts a dismal Catastrophe to The World The Great God who is Just in all his ways and Holy in all his works is unwilling to surprise The world and therefore sends a special Message to Mankind by This Angel to acquaint them that after such a Time TIME should be no longer And That He may be Believed He Confirms it with an Oath that which a more Tremendous and Solemn One was never sworn Now since He has been so kind to send a Special Embassador 'T is worth our while to hear and consider well of his Message His Oath is positive and Indefinite That TIME should be no longer BVT c. But In The Days of The voice of The Seventh Angel when He shall BEGIN to sound The Mystery of God should be finished as He hath declared to his Servants The Prophets Here is no mention made of Time Times and half a Time as by the Angel in Daniel under The sounding of The Sixth Trumpet But The Death of CRONOS or TIME Indefinite is positively
