A27581	An appeal most humble yet most earnestly by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together unto him, even adjuring the consideration of the most contrary minded who love his appearing concerning the Scripture on due compare, speaking expresly, or word for word : of the thousand years state of the saints, the dead raised first, and of the living, the remaining chang'd in it : and of the wicked-dead-raised, the Gog Magog under it / by T.B.	Beverley, Thomas.	1691 (1691)	Wing B2121; ESTC R31270	16,373	16

the very date of this Time is when the We of All of Saints the Living the Remaining are caught up to Christ into a like State with the Saints raised First with Him in the Clouds and so put on Absolute Immortality and Incorruption Then the Triumphal Song over Dearh is sung and so All Saints are ever with the Lord in the Clouds or Air of the New Heaven and in the Kingdom deliver'd up to God All in All. 1 Cor. 15. 51. c. 1 Thess 4. 13. The Occasion of the Great Mistake in this matier is that the Changing and the being caught up are not distinguish'd The changing into Bodies of Paradise or of a Participation of the First Resurrection is indeed at the same Moment with the Saints rising First There is an Epita an Afterward of a 1000 Years before They are caught up According to this The Enemies of Christ as the Footstool of his Feet Bear up the State of his Sitting on the Throne for the 1000 Years viz. Sathan Chain'd Bonnd Imprison'd and Seal'd up The Wicked as Gog Magog in such an Infinite Number Exil'd in the Four corners of the New Earth Appear but cannot stir against the Beloved City and Camp of the Saints for the 1000 Years Death as not cast into the Lake hath an Appearance and a possibility of Action in that the Living Remaining Saints in having but a part and not the Full yet in the First Resurrection have not put on Immortality and Incorruption yet so Heal'd with the Leaves of the Tree of Life They shall not dye Death cannot Fasten though It shews its Fangs When Christ does as it were Take off his Feet from his Footstool from all his Three Enemies in order to Give up the Kingdom They Every one Rise as into Action Sathan the Prince the Gog Magog the Dead under Him viz. Condemn'd and so in the State of Death and Death and Hell under their Prince All these move to their utmost Activity against the Holy City but as in Anticipation to the Lake or a present Description of it Fire comes down from Heaven Sathan long ago Condemn'd is without any New Judgment cast into the Lake The Judgment of Gog Magog the Dead from all the Receptacles of Death is Recollected and Ratified in their being All Judg d And Death and Hell are cast into the Lake with Them This is the Final Catargests destroying and putting All the Enemies of Christ that had been his Footstool the 1000 Y. quite Below under his Feet The Conclusive Argument from the Compare of Doctrinal and Prophetical Scripture That Gog Magog are the wicked dead rais'd is this According to all Scripture the Wicked are Rais'd with the Servants of Christ all at a Time The Resurrection is yet peculiar to the Saints Because the Wicked are Rais'd to Condemnation and so to Death All Vngodly Men whether Dead before or Found Alive at Christ's Coming are under the Perdition of the Fire of the Day of Judgment and of Christ's coming according to the Apostle Peter Ep. 2. c. 37. according to the Apostle Paul 2 Thess 1. 8. and so There are none The Living The Remaining but Saints Then according to Prophecy whatever is not Partaker of the First Resurrection to which nothing is Second but the Second death must be under that Second Death Beginning with that very First Resurrection so the Wicked dead rais'd not partaking of that First Resurrection Immediately Begin to have their part in the Lake which is the Second death though not cast into it Revel 21. 8. as the Living Saints in the First Resurrection though not caught up into it Gog Magog then call'd the Nations and in so vast a Number as the Sand of the Sea must be the Dead having their part though not the full in the Lake For there are no Earth none else but the Nations of the saved But Gog does not for the 1000 Years Annoy the Holy City being Exil'd in the Four corners even as the Wine-press is Trod 1600 Furlongs without the Holy City or Camp shewing the Four square Vengenance Issuing from the Four square Holy City on the Wicked without it The Saints above Equal to Angels with the Lamb Behold their Torment and are Satisfied with their Flesh viz. Rejoyce in the Vengeance The Saints below as it were Burying Gog Ez. 39. 11 12. in Israel nigh the Holy City go out to Behold their Carcases For without are Those Dogs Going round about this City Esay 66. 24. Psal 59 14. Rev. 14. 20. c. 22. 15. Concerning the Gog Magog as the Dead Rais'd to Comdemnation I have this Remarquable to Add that when at the Final Doom They are said to stand before God Rev. 20. 21. The Earth is not said to Give up any Dead The Sea had as Grotius and Piscator Render it Given up its Dead long before viz. at the Beginning of the 1000 Years when as hath been prov'd the New Heaven and New Earth entred and There was no more Sea Why then does not the Earth give up its Dead as well as the Sea viz. Because the Sea giving up its Dead wh●● the Old Earth Burnt became in its Four corners The Common Death or State of the Dead and the Hades or Hell of Them So Hades or Hell and Death Alone Give● up the Dead and are cast with Them into the Lake This Assures Earth is not meant by Death and Hades except the Old as Burnt and Becoming the Seat of the Dead and so cast into one Common Lake For when Gog came on the New Earth to Cover it Fire from Heaven then Rescued that Earth and devour'd Them So Death and Hades or Hell had all the Dead for the Sea had before Given up its Dead to that Hades Death and Hell which is the Hamon Gog or Hammonah of Gog Magog Slain and Buried in Israel viz. without the Gate and Camp of the Holy City as Malefactors of Old Sathan for whom the Lake was first prepar'd is cast into it without the Formality of a Judgment as to his own place The Dead on whom the Judgment was at the 1000 Years Begun is at their end Compleated The New Jerusalem Seated in the New Heaven and New Earth upon their Flying Re-Ascends to God from whom it Descended So the Kingdom is deliver'd up to God All in All and the Saints are for ever with the Lord with God in Christ THE END A SUMMARY Of Arguments for the 1000 Y. Kingdom By T. B. Argument 1. IF the New Heaven and the New Earth be a Palace for Christ the King of Glory and for his Saints in Glory with Him Beginning with the Thousand Years and Flying away within a Little space after They are Ended when the Kingdom is Delivered up and the New Jerusalem Re-ascends to God Then there must be such a Thousand Years Kingdom But so It is by plain Doctrinal and by the Prophetical Scriptures of the Revlation compared Therefore There must be such a Kingdom

were the Heaven and Earth that Fled from the White Throne as is prov'd It must needs be that Heaven and Earth that were in Being after the Thousand Years that Fled And if the Heaven and Earth that Fled were the Heaven and Earth that were in Being at the Thousand Years end They must be the Heaven and Earth that were in Being during the Thousand Years who can so much as Imagine other And If They were the Heaven and Earth during the Thousand Years They must be the Heaven and Earth during the Holy City For the City cap. 20. and cap. 21. must needs be the City New Jerusalem which as call'd Holy c. 21. So it was the Camp of the Saints secur'd from Sathan's Approach during the Thousand Years And so Righteousness dwelt in it c. 20 9. And it is the Beloved City c. 20. 9. Because it is the Bride the Lamb's Wife c. 21. 9 10. Now this Beloved City and Camp of the Saints had had a State of Peace and Righteousness for a Thousand Years while Sathan was in Prison and Gog and Magog stir'd not All which Time the Saints Above sat on Thrones and Reigned with Christ a Thousand Years and the Partakers of the First Resurrection on Earth were Blessed and Holy and were Priests of God and of Christ and Reigned with Him a Thousand Years and so were for ever Holy and Blessed For over such the Second Death hath no Power If then the Heaven and Earth that were in Being during the Thousand Years of the Holy City be the Heaven and Earth that Fled when Sathan was cast into the Lake after the Thousand Years as hath been shown These must be the Heaven and Earth that John saw together with the Holy City And so they must be the New Heaven and the New Earth that He saw c. 21. 1. and not the First and there can be no more except a New Creation be Piled on this New Creation and New Heaven and Earth that Fled away So They End with the 1000 Y. Argum. 2. If according to Prophecy concerning the Thousand Years Reign of Christ with his Saints of the First Resurrection and his Saints Partakers of the First Resurrection There must by the Apostolical Plain Doctrine be a space of Time between the Time of the Saints Dead in Christ Rising first who Answer to the Saints of the First Resurrection and the Saints Chang'd who Answer to the Partakers of the First Resurrection and the Time of these Chang'd Saints being Caught up This space by Prophecy must be the Thousand Years Reign of Christ with his Saints But such a space will in the Apostles plain Doctrine be found Therefore It must by Prophecy be the space of the thousand years and so the thousand years Kingdom of Christ will be Fully Assured from hence If the Apostles plasn Doctrine be That there are two Sorts of Saints and no more at the Resurrection viz. The Saints Raised Incorruptible and the Saints who shall not Sleep but be Chang'd Chang'd in opposition to Dying farr below the priviledge of being Chang'd Chang'd in distinction from being Rais'd Incorruptible a priviledge above being Changed when Incorruptible is not Added And if these make up the We All of Saints even The Living The Remaining Rescued from the perdition of the Wicked Dead and preserved under Guards of Life Then These are two Sorts of Saints vix Principals in the First Resurrection and Partakers of the First Resurrection Seeing To be the We All is to be Saints or Holy To be the Living is to be Partakers To be Chang'd but not Incorruptible is to be no more than Partakers To be Hi Zontes The Living Hi Perilipomeni or the Preserved is to be Blessed For over Such the second Death hath no power But All These Things are expressly written 1. Cor. 15. 51 52. 1. Thess 4 14 c. and Revel 20. 4 5 6. And Both these Sorts of Saints Live and Reign with Christ a thousand years So There is a thousand years Kingdom 2. If the Saints The Living the Remaining who dye not but are Chang'd are Chang'd in the Atom of Time the very same Moment in the very Twinckle of an Eye with the Saints Raised 1 Cor. 15. 51 52. and yet The Saints Dead in Christ Rise First and the Saints The Living and the Remaining are not Caught up till an Epita not to be Translated Then but Afterwards which Epita is so Translated Afterward 1 Cor. 15. 23. and leaves Room to almost 1700 Y. since Christs Resurrection If All This be Then there may be such a space as the 1000 Y. from the Raising the Dead Saints Changing the living Saints before The living The Remaining Saints are Caught up and the Ama Translated Together shall not signify Together in Time but pariter or Alike as it must needs be Rom. 3. 12. with the Dead Saints raised and with Christ Above who cannot be say'd to be 1 Thess 5. 10. and elsewhere Caught up at all For Christ Brings Them with Him much lesse Together with the Saints Rising For this would Contradict the Apostles Proton or First of the Saints rising and his Epita or Afterward of the Living Remaining Saints caught up All this we find express 1 Thes 4. 14. c. Seeing then by the Apost a Space there must be and Prophecy says expresly the Dead Saints Living and Reigning with Christ on Thrones a 1000 Y. was the First Resurrection and that the Reign of the Partakers of the First Resurrection Blessed and Holy and on whom the Second Death hath no Power is a Reign with Christ also of a 1000 Y. It must be a 1000 Y So Christ must needs have a Kingdom of a 1000 Years Argum. 3d. If the Saints Raised Sitt on Thrones with Christ as above a 1000 Y. and There is a City and Cittadell of Saints on Earth for a 1000 Y. and who after are made to Sitt on Christ's Throne in his Kingdom ere the end according to Prophecy and that According to the Apostle The Saints chang'd The living and The Remaining are on Earth while Christ and the Raised Saints are above and this for some space of Time Then how clear a proof is there of the 1000 Years Kingdom of Christ in the New Heaven Inhabited by the raised Saints and in the New Earth Inhabited by the rising Remaining Saints But so it is according to the Prophecy and Doctrine of Scriptures Such a Kingdom therefore There shall be 1. It is never said in Scripture Christ shall come down on Earth at his second Coming But He is the Epouranios the Lord from Heaven The Heavenly not Earthy as the First Adam As He went up to Heaven in a Cloud so He shall be seen Coming in a Cloud Then indeed out of sight But now Every Eye shall see him as Above Those places Job 19. 25. Zech. 14. 4. that seem to Favour Christs standing upon the Earth at the last day The Hebrew Word may better be
