of all things saith the Apostle Peter Acts 3.19 20 21. for they all contemporate 4. To assure us of the beginning then also of that said happy state of Christs Church chap. 11.18 19 19.6 7. for when Christ comes in the Clouds he brings all his Saints with him who probably may have that honour to execute that wrath in part upon those Enemies who shall then also in that Judgment receive their reward Dan. 7.13 14. ver 22. Rev. 11.18 to teach all Gods people then to lift up their heads as our Saviour directs Luke 21.28.31 because their Redemption is neer and that Kingdome of God also and though there will be then great shakings of the Enemies out of the world as Numb 25. Es 2.17 18 19. yet God will send his Angels then to gather his Elect from the four corners of the Earth Mat. 24.3 and two shall be then in the field the one shall be taken the other left v. 40 c. To the third Question we Answer That these generals of Christs Kingdome are explained in the following Chapters after Antichrists ruine to shew the first eminent act of power Christ will manifest when he begins to reign will be to remove that great offender out of the way who hath so long obstructed the happy communion of God and Christ with all the Saints which they shall enjoy upon his removal when the said Marriage of the Lamb takes place and Gods antient people are turned to him as was said 2. Because that is the eminent breaking of the Serpents head by the first Judgment revealed to Enoch seen in Vision by Daniel Dan. 7. explained and confirmed and to be fulfilled by Christ Rev. 11.18 chap. 19. as may farther after appear c. which first Judgment of the wicked quick is that removens pr●hibens removing the hinderance and therefore seems first necessary to be done to make way for that said happy ensuing state as Mat 13.41 42. and is an eminent breaking of the Serpents head as the destroying the last Enemy Death will be the total and final breaking thereof The next Question is What is meant ver 9. by that they are said to be blessed that are called to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb 2. Why the Apostle John is commanded to write it 3. Why the Angel adds as he testifiedth These are the true sayings of God 4. Why the Angel resisting his attempt to worship him enjoyns him to worship God as in chap. 22.9 5. Why he tells him he is his fellow Servant and of his Brethren the Prophets chap. 22. and here adds That have the Testimony of Jesus and then adds Worship God giving this reason For the Testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophesie To resolve the first Question these three things are to be considered First What is meant by the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. 2. What is their Calling to it 3. How they are said to be blessed that are called to it and these we desire a little to explain though but in our passage because they have been misapplyed formerly 1. The Marriage Supper of the Lamb is the ensuing destruction of the Beast and the like wicked Enemies shortly after the Whore chap. 18. for which the many said Halelujahs were sung when in such a terrible powerful and glorious manner Christ comes to destroy them with his heavenly Armies and his Garments dipt in blood and takes the Beast and false Prophet and casts them into the fiery lake for ever and that is denoted by the great Voice of the Angel standing in the Sun to call all the Fowls to the same Supper ver 18. who also were filled with their flesh ver last who were slain with the Sword of Christs mouth that is according to his Word who is therefore said in Righteousness to Judge and make War ver 11. and then to judge because it will be the first act of his Judgment as chap. 11.18 2. This sense may farther appear from other like expressions in Scripture of a Sacrifice God will make of his Enemies or a Supper or Feast as here so Esa 346. a great part of that c. and v. 4. is applyed to the destruction of those Pagan Persecutors Rev. 6. the like also Jer. 46.10 Gods day of Vengeance is called a Sacrifice But most pertinent is that of Gogs the Turks destruction at or about the same time Ezek. 39.17 18 19 c. yea and of Magog likewife the Pope v. 6. briefly there mentioned because it was to be farther explained in the New Testament as the Jews Enemy the Turk is largly in the Old see our 4th Obser of both which those hints of Reasons seem considerable besides many others both in Ezek. Dan. and the Book of Revelation 1. Because the Turk is stiled Gog in the Land of Magog ver 1. that is in the Roman Empire a great part whereof he should subdue unto himself 2. This is farther manifest in that he is designed by God to be the great Ruiner of that Empire to revenge upon it the blood of the Saints shed before under the Red Dragon being acknowledged by many to be the 2d Woe or 6th Trumpet falling chiefly on the Eastern Empire 3. He is a greater Ruiner of it than the Saracens before him who did but push at it and got scarce half so much as he hath since over-flowed in it by his multitudes Dan. 11.40 41 42 c. 4. Magog v. 6. is described to be in the Isles as the Jews reckoned all remote from their own continent to live in the Isles 5. God saith there he will send fire on Magog which will also be the means of the Beasts destruction Dan. 7.9 10. when his body will be given to the burning flame 6. As was hinted what was spoken largly of Gog the Jews enemy that holds their Land also from them in the Old Testament is left for Christ largly to explain of the ruine of Magog the Pope the great Enemy of Christians in the New Testament who hath all his 42 months trampled the holy City under foot till then 7. Both are said to be in the latter or postremity of dayes Ezek. 38.8 16. with the Revelation and both to be ruined about the Jews Conversion to be as we shewed in the latter dayes Jer. 23.20 and Jer. 30.24 for at Christs appearance the Jews will be delivered Dan. 12.1 and the man of Sin will be destroyed at the appearance of Christs coming 2 Thes 2.8 2. They are called to it namely to that Marriage Supper who have the word of God for their sure ground of coming to it for Christ will then slay such with the sword of his mouth which is the Judgment written when all predictions of the Beasts destruction shall take effect 2. When by his providence he remarkably points out that work to be done by them the Angel is said then to stand in the Sun to call all the Fowls to that Supper which seems to note
