the Book given unto the Lamb. We might be 〈◊〉 in many particular Promises to this purpose respecting the 〈◊〉 in that time with many excellenties respecting tha● 〈◊〉 as we have specially shewed how concerning Christs Dividid a Kingdom and people then God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy Prophets since the world began as is manifest by the third of our 8 Conving Arguments in the Word written And the great designe of the All knowing and All working God in giving such Prophesies to his Church from the beginning concerning such great things to be fulfilled at the end of the world in that said Great Day of Judgment appears to be made manifest by such Divine Chronology first set down by Moses and other Penmen thereof before the Captivities of Israel and Judah but after that are in their discoveries chiefly carried on by those Mystical Prophesies of those two beloved Servants of God and Christ the Prophet Daniel and the Apostle John but chiefly by the last to whom these hidden secrets of God respecting those times wore particularly as we shewed commisted to open Danichs sealed Mysteries to Ch. 19. and from thence to the end the most antient Predictions and Promises c. when God would raise unto David that righteous Branch that King that shall reign and prosper and execute Judgment and Justice in the earth in whose days Judah shall be saved and Israel shall dwell safely Jer. 23.5 6. when they shall have the Mercies promised to their Forefathers performed to them as Zechary is taught Divinely to sing out and in such a manner he would grant unto them that being delivered from the hand of their enemies they might serve God without fear of them in righteousness and true holiness all the days of then lives Luke 1.7 c. which will be the stability of all the happiness of that state when that New Kingdom of Israel will be restored the Tabernacle of David that was fullen new raised up again for that said righteous Branch which God then said he would then raise unto David for whom with his Bride God will then make New Heavens and a new earth in that new world to come wherein shall be that New great holy and beloved Jerusalem that City that hath foundations whose Maker and Builder is God for those new Inhabitants that came from God out of Heaven and came with Christ to receive their spiritual bodies at the first blessed Resurrection of the Saints where also will be the New Paradise of God Also the converted Jews and Israelites shall then enjoy their New Jerusalem also built upon its own heaps when strangers shall build her Walls as the Prophet foretels upon the return of the Shulamite who instead of Fathers shall have Children whom she may make Princes in all the earth being the Seed then which the Lord hath blessed Esai 61.9 then shall be her new guides and watchmen upon her Walls probably the new raised Saints that shall not hold their peace day nor night new dispensations new peace plenty security new priviledges new pleasures delights in heavenly visions comunion discoveries in the revelation of such things as are appointed then to be known in the restitution of all things promised then to be done as in the forenamed particulars we before set down and the times of these things are chiefly made known in their fit latitudes by Revelation-prophesie for when we read of the coming of Christ at his appearance and Kingdom the times thereof are so set forth as was shewed by Revelation-prophesie We read of the Saints first bodily Resurrection but the time thereof is only deciphered by Revelation Prophesie we heard of raising Davids Tabernacle which was fallen but the time is only pointed out by Revelation prophesie and that the Saints shall receive their sure mercies of David Esa 55.3 but when can only be resolved by Revelation prophesie we read of Gods setting up the Kingdom of the Stone that should destroy all others and it self become a Mountain filling the whole earth but the times and order of his carrying on these great works by Jesus Christ is in the fittest proportion made known to the Church by Revelation-prophesie The Lord said to Davids Lord Sit at my right hand until I make thy foes thy footstool which he hath long expected Heb. 10.13 and the Heavens must receive him till the times of the Restitution of all things but the best resolution of both is to be had from Revelation-prophesie Glorious things are spoken saith the Psalmist of the City of God of the new the holy the great the beloved Jerusalem but what and when and where and for whom we are chiefly informed from Revelation-prophesie We read of the ruine of Gog and Magog the Churches greatest enemies before that City Jehovah Shammah shall be set up but when it shall be we chiefly learn from Daniel and Revelation-prophesie Object But did not Christ reprehend his Disciples Acts 1.6 for inquiring the time of his Kingdom c. Ans Though this and such like hath been sufficiently answered yet know it is only whilst God keeps such things in his own power and in the next Verse he said But ye shall be indued with power which was done about ten days after at the Feast of Pentecost and all that wrote after speak something thereof but chiefly the beloved John And though Christ as man then said he knew not the day and hour of his coming which none now pretend to yet in a fit latitude Christ hath revealed the near approach thereof with many things to be done before very useful for the Church to know and wherein all Saints are greatly concerned which are great mercies in many respects to be known and believed in these later days for which there is great cause of thanksgiving but no reason of cavilling with our mercies or the goodness of the Author of them Thus for the Doctrinal part of this Text wherein we have considered this most gracious Divine Declaration of the set time of such its performance with the glorious illustrations and confirmations thereof and shewed from Scripture wherein it doth consist and the many decipherings of the times of the renovation of all things with Scripture evidences accordingly referring thereunto both manifesting the thing and shewing in a latitude the near approach thereof We shall now by Gods gracious assistance endeavour to make some pertinent improvement thereof 1. We may hence be informed of the many mistakes that have been both of this Text and the Context thereof as respecting the matter time and place thereof the matter not the making new these visible Heavens and earth but the Prophetical Heavens and earth as we have shewed For the time not after the last Resurrection and Judgment but in the interim betwixt the first and last wherein the anciently declared and promised mercies are to be performed to the faithful Fathers and their spiritual Seed through the Promised Seed of the

of all things saith the Apostle Peter Acts 3.19 20 21. for they all contemporate 4. To assure us of the beginning then also of that said happy state of Christs Church chap. 11.18 19 19.6 7. for when Christ comes in the Clouds he brings all his Saints with him who probably may have that honour to execute that wrath in part upon those Enemies who shall then also in that Judgment receive their reward Dan. 7.13 14. ver 22. Rev. 11.18 to teach all Gods people then to lift up their heads as our Saviour directs Luke 21.28.31 because their Redemption is neer and that Kingdome of God also and though there will be then great shakings of the Enemies out of the world as Numb 25. Es 2.17 18 19. yet God will send his Angels then to gather his Elect from the four corners of the Earth Mat. 24.3 and two shall be then in the field the one shall be taken the other left v. 40 c. To the third Question we Answer That these generals of Christs Kingdome are explained in the following Chapters after Antichrists ruine to shew the first eminent act of power Christ will manifest when he begins to reign will be to remove that great offender out of the way who hath so long obstructed the happy communion of God and Christ with all the Saints which they shall enjoy upon his removal when the said Marriage of the Lamb takes place and Gods antient people are turned to him as was said 2. Because that is the eminent breaking of the Serpents head by the first Judgment revealed to Enoch seen in Vision by Daniel Dan. 7. explained and confirmed and to be fulfilled by Christ Rev. 11.18 chap. 19. as may farther after appear c. which first Judgment of the wicked quick is that removens pr●hibens removing the hinderance and therefore seems first necessary to be done to make way for that said happy ensuing state as Mat 13.41 42. and is an eminent breaking of the Serpents head as the destroying the last Enemy Death will be the total and final breaking thereof The next Question is What is meant ver 9. by that they are said to be blessed that are called to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb 2. Why the Apostle John is commanded to write it 3. Why the Angel adds as he testifiedth These are the true sayings of God 4. Why the Angel resisting his attempt to worship him enjoyns him to worship God as in chap. 22.9 5. Why he tells him he is his fellow Servant and of his Brethren the Prophets chap. 22. and here adds That have the Testimony of Jesus and then adds Worship God giving this reason For the Testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophesie To resolve the first Question these three things are to be considered First What is meant by the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. 2. What is their Calling to it 3. How they are said to be blessed that are called to it and these we desire a little to explain though but in our passage because they have been misapplyed formerly 1. The Marriage Supper of the Lamb is the ensuing destruction of the Beast and the like wicked Enemies shortly after the Whore chap. 18. for which the many said Halelujahs were sung when in such a terrible powerful and glorious manner Christ comes to destroy them with his heavenly Armies and his Garments dipt in blood and takes the Beast and false Prophet and casts them into the fiery lake for ever and that is denoted by the great Voice of the Angel standing in the Sun to call all the Fowls to the same Supper ver 18. who also were filled with their flesh ver last who were slain with the Sword of Christs mouth that is according to his Word who is therefore said in Righteousness to Judge and make War ver 11. and then to judge because it will be the first act of his Judgment as chap. 11.18 2. This sense may farther appear from other like expressions in Scripture of a Sacrifice God will make of his Enemies or a Supper or Feast as here so Esa 346. a great part of that c. and v. 4. is applyed to the destruction of those Pagan Persecutors Rev. 6. the like also Jer. 46.10 Gods day of Vengeance is called a Sacrifice But most pertinent is that of Gogs the Turks destruction at or about the same time Ezek. 39.17 18 19 c. yea and of Magog likewife the Pope v. 6. briefly there mentioned because it was to be farther explained in the New Testament as the Jews Enemy the Turk is largly in the Old see our 4th Obser of both which those hints of Reasons seem considerable besides many others both in Ezek. Dan. and the Book of Revelation 1. Because the Turk is stiled Gog in the Land of Magog ver 1. that is in the Roman Empire a great part whereof he should subdue unto himself 2. This is farther manifest in that he is designed by God to be the great Ruiner of that Empire to revenge upon it the blood of the Saints shed before under the Red Dragon being acknowledged by many to be the 2d Woe or 6th Trumpet falling chiefly on the Eastern Empire 3. He is a greater Ruiner of it than the Saracens before him who did but push at it and got scarce half so much as he hath since over-flowed in it by his multitudes Dan. 11.40 41 42 c. 4. Magog v. 6. is described to be in the Isles as the Jews reckoned all remote from their own continent to live in the Isles 5. God saith there he will send fire on Magog which will also be the means of the Beasts destruction Dan. 7.9 10. when his body will be given to the burning flame 6. As was hinted what was spoken largly of Gog the Jews enemy that holds their Land also from them in the Old Testament is left for Christ largly to explain of the ruine of Magog the Pope the great Enemy of Christians in the New Testament who hath all his 42 months trampled the holy City under foot till then 7. Both are said to be in the latter or postremity of dayes Ezek. 38.8 16. with the Revelation and both to be ruined about the Jews Conversion to be as we shewed in the latter dayes Jer. 23.20 and Jer. 30.24 for at Christs appearance the Jews will be delivered Dan. 12.1 and the man of Sin will be destroyed at the appearance of Christs coming 2 Thes 2.8 2. They are called to it namely to that Marriage Supper who have the word of God for their sure ground of coming to it for Christ will then slay such with the sword of his mouth which is the Judgment written when all predictions of the Beasts destruction shall take effect 2. When by his providence he remarkably points out that work to be done by them the Angel is said then to stand in the Sun to call all the Fowls to that Supper which seems to note
