himself a kingdom and to come again Luk. 19. 12. There are many virgins that wait with oyl in their lamps for the bridegrooms coming Math. 25. To them that look for him the second time he will appear to their great joy and consolation the spirit and the bride say come O come Lord Jesus come quickly Further in the new covenant spoken of by holy Ieremiah it is said I will forgive their iniquity and I will remember their sins no more so forgiven and so forgotten as never before no further need of an advocate then in case of sin for that will be fully made good then in Ier 50. 20. In those dayes and at that time the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for and there shall be none and the sins of Iudah and they shall not be found c. Then will be the time when the Church will be presented glorious without spot or blemish or wrinckle or any such thing Ephes. 5. 27. And that true really without imputation Thou art fair thou art fair my love and there is no spot in thee Cant. 4. 1. 7. Lastly in this new covenant or testament as that which makes good all it is said and I will be their God and they shall be my people In a very high and eminent wise it will be so then beyond what before a very great and blessed thing this is still mentioned as the close to have God in a special wise to be their God and for a people to be so related to God as to be his people in a peculiar way is a great thing and that which renders them considerable and happy and blessed indeed Psal 144. 15. Those sealed ones having their fathers name written on their foreheads I conceive comporting in time and being the same with those Rev. 22. 4. His servants shall serve him and see his face and his name shall be in their foreheads He that sitteth on the throne sayeth these words are true and faithful that it relates to that blessed time in order to the high and full fulfilling of it we may minde that in Rev. 21. where the new heaven and the new earth is spoken of as vers 1. Iohn saw a new heaven and a new earth Vers. 2. He saw the new Jerusalem come down from heaven very glorious As he saw so he heard also vers 3. A great voice out of heaven it is with a behold the Tabernacle of God is with men and he will dwell with them and they shall be his people and God himself shall be with them and be their God And as vers 4. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes all sorrow and pain and death it self shall be done away and be no more and all things shall be made new and Iohn is bidden to write for that these sayings are faithful and true vers 5. In Ier. 32. vers 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. The prophet speaketh again of the Lord his gathering of them out of all countryes and bringing them again comporting as to the full fulfilling of it with the Angels gathering the elect from the four windes Math. 24. 31. And making an everlasting covenant with them and doing great things for them and that he will be their God and they shall be his people And that he will plant them in their own land assuredly and do it with his whole heart and soul as before he spake of the fureness of his covenant as sure as the ordinances of heaven their abiding stable to wit the sun and moon and the stars See the places at large I shall adde a few testimonies out of the following prophets that are of the like import and tendency with what hath been held forth before and shall begin with Daniel chap. 12. 1. At that time shall Michael stand up the great prince very likely to be the Lord Christ the prince of peace when he appeareth again great things will take place he will stand for Daniels people the Israelites the seed of Abraham unto whom he came before but they received him not at that time there will be such trouble as never was before and at that time Daniels people shall be delivered they shall be delivered by the great deliverer when he shall come to Sion Rom. 11. 26. As before is mentioned The Lord Christ sball send forth his Angels and they shall gather his elect from the four windes Math. 24. 31. They shall be delivered every one of them not one left behinde of those that shall be found written in the book of life it is like it is meant The lamb the Lord Christ hath a book of life wherein is written the names of his from the foundation of the world Rev. 17. 8. Much comporting with the promise Rev. 3. 5. 12. To those that are overcommers And it shews further what time this relates unto Rev. 22. 3. 4. It will be when there shall be no more curse but the throne of God and of the lamb and his servants shall serve him and see his face and his name shall be in their foreheads when they shall reign for ever vers 5. At that time when the Lord Christ cometh and the dead are raised and the living saints changed in a moment in the twinkling of an eye it shall be fully made good and it is likely not before Further in vers 2. of this Dan. 12. He speaketh of the resurrection saying many that sleep in the dust to wit in their graves shall arise some to everlasting life to wit of felicity and enjoying God and Christ c. their names being in the book of life and some to shame and everlasting contempt As it is said elsewhere To everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord into everlasting punishment everlasting there is in order to both according to that of the Apostle 1. Cor. 15. Then will be great glory and happyness to the just and great woe and misery to the wicked The parable of Dives and Lazarus speaks forth this very plainly the righteous will then shine gloriously though now they are made black with reproach Good Daniel was inquisitive about this and the time when it should be he is bidden as in the last verse by the Angel to go his way till the end I conceive of this world as if he should have said then it shall be and in a promissary way it is said thou shalt rest to wit in his grave as in a bed and stand up in thy lot to wit be raised again in the end of the days to enjoy his lot or share of glory then much the same with that in 1. Cor. 15. 23. 24. Every man in his own order first Christ then those that are Christs at his coming The wicked dead in their order or time a thousand years after In the next place take we notice what the prophet Hosea sayth Hosea 1. 7. where the Lord sayeth he will save Iudah not by bow or sword c. but by

not the things he had been speaking of but a case wherein there should be not dying or rising again but a changing in a marvellous manner in a moment in the twinkling of an eye Let the reader judge CHAP. VII Containing the holding forth that the righteous living and remaining at the coming of the Lord Christ changed in a moment In special the Israelites the seed of Abraham will be the inhabitants of the new earth and habitable world to come with some scriptures discussed that seem plainly to speak it forth THat there will be a new earth and an habitable world to come something hath been sayd before and that the righteous alive at the coming of the Lord then changed in a moment shall be the inhabitants of it not excluding the raised then living in the body again We shall now dilate a little by way of enquirie what the holy scriptures speak and hold forth concerning the same First the Apostle Peter 2. Peter 3. 13. speaking of the hebrews commonly called Jewes who are said to be the first in order Rom. 1. 16. chap. 2. 10. To every man found working good glory honor and peace to the Jew first and also or after to the gentile It was so in regard of the offer of grace and salvation it is very like it will be so then Peter he sayth we according to his promise look for a new heaven and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness or righteous men and women according as the prophet Isaiah saith Isa 60. 21. 22. Thy people also shall be all righteous they shall inherit the land for ever to wit the land of promise the land of Canaan a little one shall become a thousand and a small one a strong nation a nation born in one day I the Lord will hasten it in his time when the redeemer shall come again to Sion and all Israel shall be saved which shall more fully be fulfilled at the time of their being so changed in a moment as declared by him And on the other side holy John tells us Rev. 21. 27. There shall in no wise enter into it to wit the holy city any thing that defileth or is unclean neither whatsoever worketh abomanation or maketh a lie but they which are written in the lambs book of life those shall dwell in Gods mountain then or his hill Psal 15. 1. namely those raised and changed ones not excluding the children of the resurrection The Lord Christ shall send forth his Angels and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven Mark 13. 27. Very like to be made good in these changed ones not excluding the raised And that this will be made good then see that in the fore going verse And then shall they see the son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory comporting with this And that in a special wise it relates to them take we knowledge of that in Zech. 10. 6. 8. 9. 10. which as to its more full and through fulfilling seems in my apprehension to eye that time This seeing of the son of man at his coming may minde us of that of our Lord Christ Math. 23. 39. Ye shall not see me henceforth till we shall say blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord when every eye shall see him and they also which peirced him Rev. 1. 7. Further we may take notice what Ezekiel holds forth Ezek. 36. Ezek. 37. In the 36th chapter He declares the great displeasure of God against his people the children of Israel and speaks of great calamitie that had been upon them the heathen people being the instruments in Gods hand who dealt cruelly with them and that when God hath pitty upon them and returns to them to take them again to be his people then he would cause his fury against those enemies to break forth and they should bear their shame and punishment this from the 1. to the end of the 7th vers Then followeth very high and great promises vers 8. 9. For behold I am for you and will turn unto you c. vers 10. And I will multiply men upon you all the house of Israel c. vers 11. And I will multiply upon you man and beast and settle you after your old estates and will do better unto you then at your beginnings c. And so goeth on to the 16th verse in a promissary way Where the prophet begins again a further relation of their sin and the wrath that attends and the reason of the stop and staying of their misery namely the pitty and compassion he had to them and the regard he had to the honor of his great name Vers. 24. God speaks of gathering Israel from all countries and bringing them to their own land the iniquity of it being removed in one day And vers 25. and 29. he speaks of full cleansing promised vers 26. a new heart promised and a new spirit to be given the stony heart to be taken away and a heart of flesh given corruption wholly put off and incorruption put on a great change indeed much the same we are treating of vers 27. I will put my spirit within you and cause you to walk in my statutes Verse 28. And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers which land shall have the iniquity of it removed in one day And ye shall be my people and I will be your God The fulness of the blessing of the new covenant See what followeth to the end of the chapter and weigh the whole Chapter 37. First we have that of the dry bones set together with flesh and synews and covered with skin and life breathed into them with the interpretation of it vers 11 12 13 14. These bones are the whole house of Israel The opening of graves as to the full or utmost fulfilling of it seemeth to eye the resurrection We have likewise the two sticks made one to wit Israel and Judah made one as vers 17. explained in vers 21. behold I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen whither they be gone and will gather them on every side and bring them into their own land vers 22. And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel and one king shall be king to them all and they shall no more be two nations neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all Then in vers 23. There is the promise of preservation from pollution the promise of full cleansing of full salvation and being kept in that happy condition they were changed into and God to be their God and they his people And as in vers 24. David Gods servant to be king over them and they to have one shepheard Then followeth that very observable and remarkable vers 25. And they shall dwell in the land that I
