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.

Lord will hasten it in his time Isa 60.21 22. And this is the World to come that will be put in Subjection unto Christ Heb. 2.5 The which will be when the Old Heavens and Earth shall Perish which have now the ruling power And the new Heavens and Earth take place And then the Children of God's Servants shall continue and their seed shall be established before him Psal 102.25 26 27 28. And this is the World to come of which the Apostle saith we speak Heb. 2.5 8. For that which is called a Nation or Generation in the Old Testament where it is said a Seed shall serve him and it shall be accounted to the Lord for a Generation Psal 22.30 31. Psal 24.6 7. The same in the New Testament is termed the World to come and the World without end And the Christians since the Apostacy from the truth of God's Word have never rightly understood this World to come nor the Foundation thereof Whereby great part of the Fundamental Doctrine of the Gospel hath been overturned And in the New Testament the last Day is spoken of because they that are under the Gospel will then be Judged and the Gospel institution will then cease and the ruling Power taken out of the Hand of the People of this World and therefore it is termed their last Day But in the Old Testament we never read of a last Day because when Israel is again restored then the Land is given them for an Everlasting inheritance Gen. 17.7 8. And then as the New Heavens and the New Earth shall remain so shall their Seed and their Name remain Isa 66.22 and then 't is that Mount Sion shall be made an Eternal Excellency But more of this hereafter Now whereas St. Paul saith Thes 5.4 5. But ye Brethren are not in darkness that that day should overtake you as a thief ye are all the Children of the Light and the Children of the Day ye are not of the Night nor of darkness This he speaks of them that were of the first Churches which had received the Holy Ghost and thereby he knew they were chosen in a more peculiar manner for that Day which is still to come as his foregoing words make clearly appear in that he saith That Day should not overtake them as a Thief And if we now in this gloomy and dark day walk as Children of the Light in a holy and upright Conversation and with love to the Truth we shall belong to that Day also But when the Apostle wrote this Epistle and the first of the Corinthians he did expect the coming of the Lord in their day but afterwards he did declare to the contrary for in 2 Thes 2.2 he lets them understand that the Day of Christ was not then at hand but that there would be a falling away first but nothing of a New Election afterwards to be called in under the Gospel that being a new received notion and Scriptureless And concerning this Day which is to come the Apostle saith 1 Cor. 13.9 10. That they knew but in part and they prophesied but in part But when that which is perfect is come then that which is in part shall be done away Now then what gross Darkness must we lie under that came out of Popery by which was altogether lost the right apprehension of that Day for by the Pope it was condemned for a Heresie But St. Peter said to the Church to whom he wrote Ye do well that ye take heed as unto a Light that shineth in a dark place 2 Pet. 1.19 But we having lost the right knowledge of that day are thereby stumbling on the dark Mountains Every Sect sticking to that Opinion they first took up with when they came out of that darkness All thinking themselves so right that they need not make any further enquiry or search into the knowledge of the truth of the Scriptures But now is the time the Lord is beginning to fulfil his Promise in Dan. 12.4 By revealing the true meaning of his Word that thereby knowledge might be increased so as preparation may be made for the Coming of the Lord. And also it is said That at Evening time it shall he light Zech. 14.7 And that the Vision shall speak and not lie Hab. 2.3 By which it doth clearly appear that the Word of the Lord will be better understood than hitherto it hath been for these many hundred years But our mistakes concerning Election in that we have thought our selves the Elect and so they say can never fall from Grace And others wholly believing in the Righteousness of Christ for Salvation not considering the Conditions on which it is tendred All these think they stand so secure that it is no concern of theirs to know whether Christ is coming or not They not apprehending there are a certain Remnant of the Jeros given to Christ by his Father to be his standing witness through the World And that likewise the first Churches were elected and received the Holy Ghost to be in them that the World through them might know that God had sent Christ as thereby they might have ground to believe And upon the publication of the common Salvation was given a day of Grace by the Call of the Word with the assistance of the good motions of the Spirit of God the which Israel had till they resisted in their not obeying the Commands of the Lord Act. 7.51 For they did then strain at a Gnat and swallow a Camel Mat. 23.24 And so the Gentiles till they came to have no love to the Truth 2 Thes 2.10 Now the Mistakes in these things if we do not well awaken will prove of most dangerous consequence 1 Thes 5.3 For when they say peace and Safety then sudden Destruction cometh upon them as Travail upon a Woman with Child And then it is that such Christians will be found in Darkness who have not prepared for the coming of the Lord. God's Love to the World JOHN 3.16 God so loved the VVorld that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting Life That is every individual Person that believeth in Christ hath a promise of everlasting Life from which words we are to take notice that of this World or People there are some that will believe and some that will not but that the love of Christ was such as to dye for all for St. Paul saith H●b 2.9 That Christ did tast Death for every Man And St. John saith Christ is the Propitiation for the Sins of the whole VVorld 1 John 2.2 From which Scriptures we may plainly see that by Christ all will be cleared from original Sin so as when all come to be Judged they will be Judged according to their Works Rev. 20.12 1 Pet. 1.17 Cor. 5.10 John 5.28 29. Rom. 2.12 13 14. And therefore in the Time or World to come there will be a Redemption for Children and such as are not
