A37578 The land of promise and the covenant thereof explained by certaine questions and propositions propounded to those that teach a deliverance of the Iewes out of all countries to the land of Canaan : and from their long continued blindnesse to the faith of Christ : and a glorious estate in the land for a thousand years : and also to those that teach a personall comming of Christ and a resurrection of the just to live and raigne with Christ a thousand yeares before the resurrection of the uniust and end of the world : of which there bee severall sorts, who are commonlyl called millinaries : by which doctrine of each of these the true intent of sundry places of Scripture of great importance to the church and people of Godm [sic] is uch [sic] obscured which being rightly understood and taught acording to their true and playne meaning would be greatly to the edification and comfort of Gods chosen, especially now in these last dayes wherein the accomplishment of all things which God hath spoken, draweth so nigh.

Christ hath spoken So their blindnesse shall last no longer they shall now see what they reiected and what is come of it according also as Christ said to their fathers for I say unto you ye shall not see me henceforth till ye shall say Blessed is he that commeth in the name of the Lord Mat. 23.39 for every eye shall see him and all tongues shall confesse at this day that Iesus is the Lord to the glory of God the Father as it is written And as touching that living and raigning with Christ for a thousand years spoken of in Revel. 20. of the soules of them that were to be beheaded because they would not worship the Beast nor his Image nor would receive his marke c. which is there sayd to be the first resurrection This being the onely Scripture they make use of to proove a thousand yeares glorious estate of a Church of the Iewes as some would have it or as others of the faith full disceased whom they will have to rise from the dead a thousand yeares before the end of the World and resurrection of the ungodly c. Therefore to remove these opinions and stop all obiections against the cleare truth if possible it may be My ●nswer is in breefe this First they are utterly mistaken in the word Soules because they wil have it to intend bodies as well as soules for although sometimes in Scripture soules only are named when both bodies and soules are meant as in Gen 46.15 and so the 27. verse where it is said All the Soules of the House of Iacob which came into Egypt were three score and ten yet I say it cannot be so meant here my reasons are first These soules which Saint Iohn saith he saw are the soules of men be headed and not of living men but if yee say Iohn foresaw them risen and so names the soule for both my answer is This cannot be the soule may not be named for the body nor with the body in this case as to meane both because the soule of a regenerate man being now alive by faith cannot be said either to dye with the body or to rise with the body neither is there any resurrection of the soule after the death of the body therefore may not be named for the death of the body nor for the resurrection of the body neither is there such an instance in all the Scriptures as to say whē a righteous mans body dieth or is dead there is a soule dead although it may be so said of an ungodly man● because his soule is alwaies dead spiritually And to say of a regenerate man that when his body riseth from the dead his soule riseth with it is to say a manifest untruth When those Saints rose from the dead at the time of Christs suffering it is not said their soules rose but th●●● bodies onely as in Mat. 27.52 When Iohn saw under the Altar the Soules of them that were slaine for the word of God Revel. 6.9 He apprehended their bodies to b● dead as the text sheweth plainely in that the Soules cryed How long Lord holy and tru● dost thou not Iudge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth th●y being in heaven and it was sayd unto them that they should r●st a little season untill their fellow servant● and their brethr●n that must be killed as they were should ●e fulfilled vers. 10 11. neither were the bodies of the first to rise before the last were slaine as the words declare Therefore my conclusion is that the living raigning with Christ and the first resurrection● in this place spoken of is of the soule onely and no● of the body and that it beginneth here while the soule and body are together● as Christ himselfe declareth saying Verily verily I say unto you The ●ower is comming and now is when the dead shall heare the voyce of the Sonne of God and they that heare it shall live Iohn 5●25 And then afterward speaketh unto the Iewes saying marvaile not at this for the hower is comming in the which all that are in the graves shal heare his voyce and shall come forth they that have done good●●●to the resurrection of life and they that have done evill unto the ●●surrection of condemnation vers. 28.29 Here we see the resurrection of the bodyes of good and band out of the graves are both together in one houre and that the resurrection of the Soules of the faithfull is daily all the time before as hee saith the hower is comming and now is And as touching this first resurrection of the Soule Saint Paule saith Ye are buried with Christ in baptisme wherein also ye are risen with him c. Col. 2. And aagaine If ye be risen with Christ seeke those things which are above where Christ sitteth at the right hand of God Colos● 3● 1.2.3 And the Soule being once risen with Christ liveth alwaies now though his body die or be beheaded and it may truely bee sayd of him to his great comfort even while he is in the body Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection for on such the second death hath no power But they shall be Priests of God and of Christ and shall raigne with him I will not say now a 1000 yeares in that manner with out the body because those yeares are almost expired So long a time being past since the first sufferings of Saints for those causes of not worshipping the Beast c. began who had the full time of the thousand yeares before them to come as they whose Soules Iohn saw under the Altar that cryed How long Lord holy and true dost thou not Iudge and avenge ●ur blood on them that dwell upon the earth it is not every Soule a thousand yeares but a thousand for all But this I say unto and of every such soule that he shall live and raigne with Christ untill his commi●g in glory And then he shall live and raigne with him soule and body for evermore world without end And this I say further That whosoever hath not part here in the first resurrection let him be sure whosoever hee be the second death will cease upon him body and soule for ever hee shall have no other first resurrection after the death of his body to helpe him or make him blessed and holy As concerning the other things of this twenty chapter and also of the 11. to the Romans before spoken of If the Reader please to inquire for a booke intituled The deliverance of the whole house of Israel from all their captivities he may see in the same the particular matters o● both in a more full manner declared which I hope through the grace of God with his diligent observation shall cleare the truth of all these things plainely unto him And now let me a little advise the Reader whosoever he be first that hee would take heede hee have not the word
