A52084 Two sorts of latter days, proved from Scripture. First, the latter days of perilous times, the which are to be ended before the great and glorious latter days have their beginning. Proved when the elder people or nation is to serve the younger. And by that servitude made blessed. The old and new testament made to agree. And truth vindicated against all heresies. By M. Marsin Marsin, M. 1699 (1699) Wing M813E; ESTC R223742 30,711 48

since the Apostasie from the Truth the Wifest and Best of Men could not do it But God can give the Simple Wisdom when he pleaseth And with him there is neither Bond nor Free Male nor Female Gal. 3.28 But the sincere Heart that truly loves and fears him is best accepted of him And God having employed me in his Service I am willing to venture all even Life and all for him that the Truth of God's Word may be known And to be sure it is rightly understood when the Scriptures are made to agree and thereby they become plain to a rational Man's understanding which is the Light that God hath set up in the Soul of Man That thereby he might know how to chuse the Good and refuse the Evil. And the Scriptures now being made to agree and God by his Word according to his Promise proved true as well to the Jews as to the Gentiles This may be convincing to any rational Man's understanding that believes the Scriptures it they will but contemplate the matter Some say let the Prophet take care of his Prophecy But such little think that their destruction is included in it if they do not take heed of the Prophet's warning But there is no way to bring the People to a right understanding of the Truth but by unravelling to them their mistakes to the bottom For our Authors having lost the right Apprehension of the World or Time to come then they were put to their shifts like the Wits of the Times to weather out a Cause when they had neither Truth nor Tackle to assist their invention By which mistakes The Sheep of the Lord eat that which others have trodden and drink that which others have fouled with their feet Ezek. 34.18 19. So as thereby all are in mistakes at this Day for this is spoken concerning the time the Lord will Judge between the Rams and the He-Goats after which time the Lord will for evermore feed his Sheep himself ver 22 23 24 25. But now some by Studying the Scriptures with the strange interpretations which our great Authors as some call them have put upon them have lost their Senses And others fearing they are not elected and if not they then think they were reprobated from all Eternity or from the Foundation of the World The which have drove many into dispair and caused some to make themselves away But the knowledge of the Truth of God's word sets all free from such ill consequences And likewise puts them that know the Truth into a good capacity for eternal Salvation For to a true Faith there is required sound Doctrine as well as good Practice and to believe what God hath said and sworn to before what any Man saith in contradiction thereunto The weight of this great affair I hope will be considered which is the desire and earnest Prayer of your Friend and Servant in Christ M. M. All that are willing to know the Truth it is desired of them to consider these Twelve things 1st THat we are not the Elect but that the Elect was the Remnant chosen from among Israel which is the Church in the Wilderness and the first Gentile Churches unto whom the Holy Ghost was given to be in them that they might be a light to the World that the World through them might know that God sent Christ For the Elect are always chosen for a purpose which is to carry on the Counsel of the Will of God 2dly I affirm and prove that as there is a peculiar calling so there is likewise a common calling of the Gospel by which Salvation is attainable 3dly I affirm and prove that if we are Saved we must be Saved by Christ's Righteousness according to his Word which is in the way of our Obedience And by our believing that Christ is the Son of God we must Obey him as such for those whose Wills are not brought into Subjection to Christ are none of his for all are his Servants to whom they Obey and otherwise to believe in Christ will stand them in no stead 4thly I affirm and prove that the promised new everlasting Covenant is not establisht and that it will not be till the Lord again comes and the first Churches by receiving the Holy Ghost to be in them had an earnest of the inheritance for time to come 5thly I affirm and prove that there are two Judgments The first when Christ comes to Judge the Nations in the Valley of Jehoshaphat At which time the Dead Bodies of the Saints will rise and Israels Dead Men live And the last and final Judgment is when the Sea and Hell and Death deliver up their Dead 6thly I affirm and prove that God by his Word speaks but to them that are under it And when Christ comes they are that World and those Nations that will be condemned by it which have not lived in Obedience to it And it is the Sheep and the Goats that partake of one Pasture that then will be Judged and the one made Blessed and the other sent to the Fire of Hell For the greater light they Sin against the greater condemnation they fall under 7thly I affirm and prove that the Elect that will be gathered from the four Winds when the Lord again comes shall be Israel 8thly I affirm and prove that the World to come is not Heaven but a People with whom the Lord will establish his now promised new everlasting Covenant which Crowns Life to the Soul and those will be the World to come which will be put into Subjection unto Christ and the World without end 9thly I affirm and prove that Christ hath cleared all from original Sin and that all shall be Judged according to their deeds And that there is a redemption in the World to come and that all innocent Children will then be cleared and all the vertuous Heathens who have lived up to the Light which God had given them so as their Consciences excuse them when Judged they will then find Mercy 10thly I affirm and prove that it is not the material Heaven and all the Earth that will be burnt up when the Lord comes but it is a great state of People which in Scripture is likewise termed the Heavens and Earth and it is the Earth on which they dwell which will be burnt up and all the works therein so as never to be restored again 11thly I affirm and prove that the Earth will be renewed and Canaan made like the Garden of Eden 12thly I affirm and prove that the Glorious Tabernacle will then be pitcht over all the Assemblies of Israel so as the knowledge of the Glory of the Lord shall then cover the Earth as the Waters cover the Sea These things are of the greatest moment in the World to be considered of but whilst the Christians trust to their Authors and the Jews to their Talmud it is impossible either should come to a right understanding of the Scriptures CHAP I.

food by Hunting so this World Hunts and Labours for their food But Jacob was a smooth Man representing the Time or World to come in which time there will be Smoothness and calmness with all serenity and Provision in abundance without Hunting for Concerning the Servitude BUt as for the Servitude the Lord had determined for the Elder World before the Children had done good or evil In that Servitude they will be more Blessed than ever they would have been without it For God promised Abraham that in him all the Families of the Earth should be Blessed Gen. 12.3 Gen. 18.18 Gen. 22.17 18. Gen. 26.4 Which is by Christ and partly made good at Christ's first coming by the publication of the Gospel by which many of the Nations embraced the Faith by laying hold of the common Salvation wich is therein tendred Jude 2. For Christ tasted Death for every Man Heb. 2.9 Heb. 5.9 John 3.16 1 John 2.2 In which common Salvation I neither mean the elect remnant that was chosen from among Israel unto whom Christ promised to be with to the end of the World Nor the People that God at the first visiting the Gentiles did take out from among them for his Name Acts 15.14 The which People then received the Holy Ghost to be in them that they might be a light to the World And that the World through them might believe or know that God had sent Christ John 17.23 That thereby the Nations might take hold of the offered Mercy which accordingly they did Colos 1.6 and so became the Seed of Abraham And whilst they walkt in the stops of the Faith of Abraham Rom. 4.12 They were heirs to Israels promises and that by Christ who was of the Lyon of the Tribe of Judah And set forth as a propitiation through Faith in his Blood for the remission of Sins that are past Rom. 3.25 to all them that then believed according to the tender of his Grace Therefore they then concluded upon the publication of the Gospel or of a Sinners resigning himself to Christ to serve him that a Man was justified by Faith without the deeds of the Law Chap. 3.26 27 28. But in the Faith that they were to believe were included the deeds of the Law For it is required they should walk according to it for they are to be Judged by it Rom. 2.13 For the Lord will render to every Man according to his deeds when Judged Chap. 2.5 6 7 8 9. And Christ is become the Author of eternal Salvation to all them that obey him Heb 5.9 And walk before God with a perfect Heart as Abraham did Gen. 26.5 Gen. 17.1 And like him expect the promised Reward in the way of their obedience And whilst the Gentiles that had embrac'd the Faith walk'd in his steps they were Heirs to the promises and it is such will be partakers of the Glory promised in time to come The which time will be the time of Christ's Kingdom And then all the Families of the Earth will be Blessed in Abraham and his Seed For after the Lord has avenged himself of his Enemies which Enemies are those who regard not the Counsel of the Lord and will have none of his Reproof against these he will spend his Arrows And then God calls to the Nations to rejoyce with his People Deut. 32.42 43. For then all the Nations that are given to be Israel's Servants will have cause to rejoice in that they will then be made blessed thereby when all those of Mount-Seir and Idumea who through unbelief of the Promise made to Israel boast themselves and deny the Time or World to come in which the Lord will make his Promises good And through Covetousness of this present evil world they like Esau sell their Birth-right for this world's Morsel And it is these Edomites shall be made desolate when the whole Earth rejoyceth Ezek. 35.12 13 14 15. Now Esau was but termed Edom upon the desiring the Pottage for which Pottage be sold his Birth-right Gen. 25.31 32 33. As not believing the Promises which God made to Abraham as relating to this time nor that which is to come unto which the promised Blessedness belongs For if he had believed the Promises he would not have said If I dye for Hunger what profit shall this Birth-right do me And it was through Unbelief of a future slate made him unwilling to encounter with Difficulties and therefore sold his Birth-right to which the Blessing was annext For which afterward when he would have inherited the Blessing he was rejected Heb. 12.17 And had not Jacob known the advantage that was to be had by the Birth-right he would not have desired it from him For had not the Blessing gone with the Birth-right Jacob had been in a far better condition without it for then he had purchased the Servitude with the Birth-right But Isaac Rebecca and Jacob well knew that it was the Elder People Nation or World that was to serve the Younger And as Esau through unbelief disinherited himself so the Seed of Jacob by their disobedience and unbelief have in this time disinherited themselves Yet in the time to come the Seed of Jacob will have the promised Blessing with whom the true Believer will come in Heir with And in this time the Covenant which God made with the Seed of Jacob was such that others might take hold of it Strangers as well as Israel Deut. 29.14 15. So that the natural seed of Esau were not excluded from it as many as would come in according to the condition of the Covenant might be Heirs with Israel in time to come And Esau's Seed knowing the Covenant of the Lord and they not joining with Israel in the true Worship they were more inexcusable than the rest of the Nations For the true God was the God of their Fathers But in the time to come the unborn Posterity of Esau then cannot come in Heirs with Israel Neither any of this World can partake of Israel's Promises in time to come but those that come in Heirs with Israel in this time Jacob's Blessing THe Blessing wherewith Isaac blessed Jacob as relating to him and his Seed the which had not only Reference to this Time or World but much more to that which is to come For unto him he pronounced the Words of God to Abraham Gen. 12.3 I will bless them that bless thee and curse him that curseth thee For in the Blessing Isaac said to Jacob Gen. 28.29 God give thee of the Dew of Heaven and the Fatness of the Earth and plenty of Corn and Wine Let People serve thee and Nations bow down to thee be Lord over thy Brethren and let thy Mother's Sons bow down to thee cursed be every one that curseth thee and blessed be he that blesseth thee This Blessing as I said before must needs have its chief reference to the Generations of Israel's Children in time to come Psal 102.18 19. Psal 22.30 31. Psal 24.6 Deut.
