was also stiled by Christ The Kingdom of God that was foretold by him should draw near at hand when Israel's great Redemption so often spoken of in the Prophets shall be accomplished and upon the beholding the signs thereof he bids the Jews lift up their heads because their Redemption then draws near as is very evident from Luc. 21.31 of which our Saviour spake in a Parable Luc. 21.11 12 24 27. the time whereof is explained in the order of accomplishment Rev. 11.15 as is easily discernable to such as are acquainted with the Series of that Book which said Davidical Kingdom of the Son of man shall begin in the world as Daniel declares Chap. 7.13 14. at his coming in the Clouds of Heaven which Christ himself also further illustrates shewing it shall be with his own Glory and of the Fathers and of his holy Angels Luc. 9 2● when ten thousand times ten thousand shall minister to him and stand before him Dan. 7.10 when the Judgment is set to destroy the ●●ast and give his Body to the burning ●l●me vers 11. All which Tex●s 〈◊〉 holy Scripture will be fulfilled above a thousand years before the Resurrection of wicked men to the general Judgment as is most evident from the series and order of things set down ●oth by Daniel and more fully explained in the Book of Revelation especially in the twentieth Chapter the most clear Table of these last times and order of things to be done in them for which purpose also consider the foresaid Parallel XI Eleventhly Being also so Expounded by the Apostle Paul and others of the Apostles concerning which Doctrine fi●st the Apostle Paul delivereth many things by way of explication thereof we shall touch upon some of them briefly First When he comforts the troubled Saints that they shall have Rest with him and other Apostles and Sairts whilst Christ will ●e●der tribulation to such as troubled them ●e s●●s down that time to be when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed with his mighty Angels in ●laming 〈…〉 taking vengeance on them that know not God and they not the Gosp●● of our Lord Jesus Christ c. 2 Thes 1.7 8 9. and in Chap 2.8 〈…〉 further from Dan. 7. that Mother-Text as M● Mede 〈…〉 of all such Scriptures in the New Testament That Christ will particularly destroy that man of 〈◊〉 the same appearance of 〈◊〉 coming or presence when the body of the s ame Beast a● w●s sai● shall be ●●ven to the burning ●l●me as Dan. 7.11 which ●e al●o ●art●●r d●c●●●●reth by his Appearance and Kingdom 2 Tim 4.1 as also was by Daniel seen in vision c. Again He further informs us strongly That Christ must reig● till he hath put all his Enemies under his ●eet 1 Cor. 15.25 Now when he most eminently begins to do this ●is said Reign begins for ti●l ●h●n he sits at the Fathers right hand yea and sits there exp●cting til● th●● time come as the same Apostle manifestly declares Heb 10.12 13. and at that time the Beast is expresly said to be cast into the lake of fire burning with brimston after the language of that most acred Prophecy And to make his Exposition yet more clear and forcible he further teacheth That the last Enemy that shall be destroyed in the said Reign of Christ shall be Death viz. Bodily Death that separates Soul and Body not the death of Soul and Body for that thereupon will begin most to reign and to reign over the Damned eternally but the other namely the death of the Body shall be destroyed and cast into the lake burning with fire and brimstone that is in its capacity and after the language of Cods Spirit in that Book the very being of it as the general Destroyer of humane Nature in this life will be taken away when no such matter will remain for it to work upon when all Saints are rapt up to meet Christ in the air in a moment and wicked men stand in their state to be judged the present being of Humane Nature separable of Soul and Body will be utterly abolished Now this said destruction of bodily Death that last Enemy will not be effected till above a thousand years after the coming of the Son of man in the Clouds of Heaven as was said and after the said casting of the Beast and false Prophet into the said lake burning with brimstone as is very evident from Rev. 19.20 compared with the order of the said Table of the Times in Chap. 20. to vers 14. where Death and Hell are also said to be cast into the lake of fire that is Death and the Grave in the said sence have no more use or matter to work upon and by consequence no more being in the world And whoso faithfully and seriously endeavours rightly to weigh and consider these things without partiallity or prepossession which at first may seem an hard thing for some sorts of men to perform yet upon such endeavour with humble seeking unto God for direction in these truths and faithful and patient waiting upon him in the use of pertinent means I doubt not but in Gods good time they may be well satisfied from h●s Word and good Spirit of Grace in the reallity and truth of the su●stance of them for which purpose I conceive it not needful here to say more for information or conviction which is mainly my business and for particul●r application hereof it will be obvious to all knowing and pious Christ●ans which I am forced to leave to themselves at present for brevity-sake publishing by Press having long been to me a difficult task and when a Doctrinal Foundation in this case is once surely laid application of these with some points of such nature will in some respect be made à fortiori as from an additional consideration but yet a very weighty and moving consideration i● particularities therein to be considered in their several kinds and natures be duly improved by Scripture-guidance and the holy Spirit of Gods gracious assistance the infallible means of being rightly guided into all needful profitable Divine Truth as all holy Scripture-Truths are and these in particular though too much over-look'd and sl●ghted by some though the great things of God and an excellent and glorious part of the Gospel of Christ a rich and long inheritance of the Saints yea as we noted the highest form of God-glorifying Creatures then viz. Saints and Angels to fit them wonderfully above all other means in the preceding six thousand years to glorifie him more excellently for ever and ever We shall but even mention some like evidences from the other Apostles Peter James and John the Witnesses at Christs Transfiguration who then joyntly saw that representation of Christs glory at his coming in his Kingdom for he calls that his coming in that sence Matth. 16.28 Mark 9.1 when those eminent glorified Saints and Prophets Moses and Elias appeared talking with him First Peter sets forth the beginning

fore-tells ships shall come from the coasts of Chittim which Mr. Mede evidently shews to be meant of the Roman Navy coming from Italy and are so applied in the order of accomdlishment by Daniel Chap. 11.30 and then declares what the Romans shall do viz. They shall afflict Ashur and shall afflict Eber which they have long done but since they were to be the last Oppressor of the Jews he further adds And he also shall perish for ever or shall go into perdition as is otherwise expressed by the holy Ghost Rev. 17 8. that is the Roman Monarchies being the last shall utterly be ruined when Christ shall destroy the man of sin when all wicked and tyrannous Dominion shall utterly cease and the Kingdom of the Stone shall becom a great Mountain filling the whole Earth when that Star and that Scepter and that Dominion he spake of before verse 17 19. which are often in Scripture afterwards spoken of shall continue for ever viz. to the end of the world These things are obvious I shall not therefore here insist further on them V. Fifthly Typified first by one pair of partial Types in the Old World secondly by three partial pairs in the New First the said pair of partial Types in the Old World are Enoch's ascending shewing the bginning of the Kingd●m of the Stone at Christs ascention into Heaven Dan. 2 34. And Noah's saving his by the Ark shews how Christ at the general Rapture of all Saints as the true Ark will save them when all wicked men shall perish at the finishing of the Kingdom of the Mountain Dan. 2 33. First Enoch was a Type of Christ in his walking with God who as the Apostle saith Heb. 11.5 before his Translation had this Testimony That he pleased God and therefore was translated that he should not see death in a wonderful manner Body and Soul in a way unknown to man into an ever-blessed and happy condition Even as Christ having fulfilled the work God gave him to do on earth and fulfilled all the wills of his heavenly Father in the Body which he gave to him Heb. 10.5 7 8 9. who therefore had this Testimony from the Father That he was his beloved Son in whom he was well pleased Matth. 3.17 and after all things were done in order by him to the last finishing of the work of Redemption and the witnessing of his Resurrection from the dead to his Apostles and other faithful Witnesses thereof he then ascended visibly into Heaven in the sight of his Disciples Acts 19. Luke 24.51 which was his eminent beginning of the Kingdom of the Stone which is the first state thereof when he so triumphed gloriously over all the spiritual Powers of Darkness as the Apostle teacheth Col. 2.15 so leading Captivity captive to give his Kingly Divine Gists unto men Secondly Noah also that Preacher of Righteousness as he is stiled Heb. 11. may be added unto Enoch being another partial Type of Christ Kingdom in the second state of it or the Kingdom of the Mountain who by faith saith the Apostle Heb 11. performed that Princely or Kingly service to make the Ark in the sight of that wicked Generation in the Old World that after perished by the Flood thereby to save himself and all his Relations that entred with him into it So Christ who shall be called saith the Prophet Jeremiah Chap. 23 by his Church The Lord our Righteousness and hath long sent abroad the Preachers of his Righteousness into the wicked World who regardeth it not when the time of their perishing at last shall inevitably come upon them by a deluge of fire as it did on the old world by water He will himself become at that time the true Ark prepared for all his true Members united spiritually unto him at the general Rapture or Change of all the Saints when the wicked remaining on Earth shall all perish at the worlds lost destruction by fire where all the other shall abide with Christ in the greatest safety and security above all worldly dangers sufferings or changes even when the Heavens and Earth shall be dissolved for ever VI. Sixthly Again also typified by three pairs of partial Types in the New world First of the Kingdom of the Stone First In Abraham towards the first times of the new world Secondly In Moses his Conduct from Egypt and in the Wilderness afterwards Thirdly In David's Conquest and Kingdom which God set up and gave him Secondly of the Kingdom of the Mountain First In Melthisedeck King of Salem that is King of Peace Secondly In Joshua's Conduct of Gods People into the promised Land Thirdly In Solomon's peaceful Kingdom the immediate Seed of David's Loyns First In the New world God said a new foundation with Abraham of Christs Kingdom in his free Covenant with him to be his God and the God of his Seed which the Apostle saith was one namely Christ Gal. 3.16 and by no other way was Abraham capable of that mercy that God should become his God Indeed God both promised and bestowed many Benefits and Priviledges upon Abraham's Isaac's and Jacob's natural Seed upon the renewing or repeating of the substance of that Covenant but all upon that Foundation-Truth wherein their Souls were divinely illuminated that the Son of God should become the Son of Abraham in a wonderful divine manner and so by him in a spiritual way of grace such his Children by faith should become the Sons of God and both he and they by such a way of faith and grace should inherit all the promises as the Spirit of God revealed and parposed so to fulfil them And therefore the Apostle Heb. 11. doth remarkably shew how Abraham Isaa● Jacob and Sarah by such illuminat on of their Souls saw afar off by faith the promises to be fulfilled in Christs Kingdom and at the Resurrection of the Just when Abraham shall be heir of the world actuaily which he was but onely by faith whilst he lived in the world as he also teacheth Rem 4.13 and ●nely from that ground all Gods Servants are interessed in any ●●mpora Promises or Blessings And in such time of his living but 〈◊〉 Abraham was a great conquerour of his Enemies when he d●●vered his Brother Lot and his house and those with him from there Kings that carried them Captives So Christ whilst he is fulfilling the Covenant m●de with the Faithful he is a great Conquerour and delivereth all his Prethren whose flesh he took from their nature and gives them his Spirit from his own Divine Nature which mak●s them ne●●ly related to him and dearly beloved of him and in whose behalf and for whose deliverance he did not onely venture himself as Abraham did for Lot and his but actually suffered death to deliver them from their spiritual bondage and erernal misery The other of this first pair of partial Types in the first times of the New World is Melchisedeck who is not improbably conceived to be Shem the
