Righteousness that all the Nations shall enjoy this Priviledge and Blessing Psal 9. 7 8. with Psal 96. 10 13. and 98. 9. and 82. 8. Arise O God judge the Earth for thou shalt inherit all Nations His inheriting all Nations must be at and after he hath judged the Earth and therefore at and after the Judgement 4. Because the Scripture not only saith it shall be in the times of the new Heavens and new Earth and in and after the Judgment but in that time when the great Transgressours shall be suffering where their Worm shall not die neither shall their Fire be quenched Isa 66. 18 23. 24. In this time it is that all Nations and Tongues shall come and see the Glory of Christ and all Flesh shall come and worship before him and go forth and look upon those in torment and therefore it must be after the Resurrection and Judgment 5. Because this worshipping and serving of the Nations is plainly stated in Scripture to be after they have born their Judgment and that is over and past as Rev. 20. The Judgment is past and over and after that comes the new Heavens and new Earth into which comes down the glorious holy City from God out of Heaven Chap. 21. 12. And after this the Nations worshipping and serving the Lord v. 24 26. and to this agreeth Zeph. 3. 8 9. after the gathering of the Nations and pouring out upon them the Indignation even all the fierce Wrath which sutes with the seven last Plagues in the very terms thereof Rev. 15. 1. in which is filled up the Wrath of God and is to be accomplished at and after Christs appearing in the Judgment that the gathering of the Nations and pouring out of all the fierce Wrath must be Rev. 14. 14-19 20. and after this is over he will turn to the People a pure language that they may all call upon the Name of the Lord to serve him with one consent Zeph. 3. 9. which fully agreeth with Psal 86. 8. and 22. 27. with many other Scriptures to the same effect 6. Because the leaves of the Tree of Life are for the healing of the Nations after the Judgment is over in the eternal Estate Rev. 22. 2 5. and Isa 19. 22. and Ezek. 47. 11 12. which are Prophecies of the same time and state and to which very probably Rev. 22. 2. relateth and therefore it must be after the Judgment 7. Because the promise of the peaceable time and state of the World and of the Kingdom of Christ therein in which Nation shall not lift up Sword against Nation neither shall they learn War any more Isa 2. 4. Mic. 4. 3. Psal 46. 8 9 10. will not be till the thousand Years are expired and the Judgment past Rev. 20. 7 8 9. When the thousand Years are expired the Nations will be in a flame of War therefore the peaceable time promised to the Nations will not cannot be till this is over when they shall learn War no more and in this time and state it is that all Nations shall come and worship therefore after the Judgment is over Isa 2. 2 3. Mic. 4. 5. Psal 46. 10. Mal. 1. 11. 8. Because it 's more than probable that all the Scriptures that promise to Christ an everlasting Kingdom upon the Throne of David do relate to his Kingdom and Raign in the World to come and that too after all his Enemies are subdued and visibly subjected under him which will not be till after the Resurrection and Judgement is over and past 1 Cor. 15. 23 24 25. which expressly relates to Psal 120. 1. and that his right-hand Kingdom on his Fathers Throne Rev. 3. 21. is an intervening Glory as a present reward of his Sufferings and for performance of his Mediatory-office till his own Kingdom take place which will be his highest visible Glory and of which he is in expectation Heb. 10. 13. And hence it likewise appears that the service and worship of the World will not be till this promised Kingdom take place in which all Nations shall serve him Psal 72. 8 9 10 11. It must be when all Enemies are made his Footstool 9. Because as before I said this general Salvation by Christ in the World to come is that which tends so wonderfully to exalt the glory of his Sufferings and Death for the World and the design of God therein The more universal the design was the more of Grace and the more glorious to the name of God and Christ and the narrowing thereof to a few only and all the rest of Mankind with the whole Creation eternally to perish not only contradicts the truth of the whole Volum of the Book of God but wonderfully derogates from the glory of God and Christ designed in this wonderful Undertaking Joh. 13. 30 32. Isa 6. 3. with Joh. 12. 41. Psal 72. 19. 10. Because it 's that in which the Glory of the Kingdom and Raign of Christ in the World to come is so wonderfully concerned for the honour of a King is in the multitude of People Prov. 14. 28. If a King should have a glorious Queen only and have no People no Subjects where would his honour be The Church is and shall be the Lord's Queen the royal and eternal Consort of Christ the King and Lord of Glory Psal 45. 9. Vpon thy right-hand did stand the Queen in the Gold of Ophir It 's true the Queen is a Subject to the King yet above all others with the King and nearest to him as his royal Consort bearing part at least of the honour of Government But if the King have not his other Attendants his Royal Council with multitude of Subjects in variety of degrees where will his honour be So the Lord and King Christ Jesus especially of the new and restored World Zech. 14. 9. who then shall be visibly Lord of Lords and King of Kings Rev. 19. 16. and shall have all things sutable to such a Kingdom yea far surpassing all the Glory of the most glorious Monarchs that ever were in this World as Types of this his Glory yea Solomon the most famous Type of Christ in this his most glorious reign in all his glory came infinitely short of him For first His Church his Spouse yea his then married Wife and Queen Rev. 19. 7. shall keep Court with him in the glorious holy City and shall reign with him for ever Rev. 22. 3 4 5. Secondly The glorious holy Angels shall be his and his Queens Attendants Heb. 1. 6. Rev. 5. 11. for the Church his Wife and Queen shall be united nearer to him by far than the glorious holy Angels Heb. 2. 16. Eph. 5. 30. who shall be his and his Churches Attendants Thirdly All the World shall be raised by him and be his Subjects in various states and degrees and shall worship and serve him as before hath been proved and all as an effect of giving himself a Sacrifice for the Life of the World
