whole world These things Reader I have thus discussed not rashly affirmed I leave the whole matter to the Church to be determined by the word of God to the iudgement whereof as it is meete I do● willingly submit mine opinion concerning this mysterie IN THE DIALOGVE OF IVSTINE MARTYR WITH TRYPHO THE IEW there is a notable place concerning the thousand yeers Raign of Christ TRYPHO BVt tell me the truth doe you confesse the restauration of Ierusalem and doe ye expect the gathering together of your people that they triumph together with Christ and the Patriarchs and the Prophets and our Tribes or those also who before your Christ came were Proselytes or doe you grant those things that you may seeme to get the better of us in dispute IVSTINE Trypho I am not brought to such a pinch that my words and thoughts should differ I confessed to you heretofore that not only I but many besides me doe verily thinke as you well know will come to passe 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 i. But contrariwise I have signified to thee that many who are not Orthodox and pious Christians deny this I pointed out those to thee who are in name Christians but indeed Atheists and prophane heretiques because what they teach is altogether blasphemous wicked and foolish But that I may manifest to the world what I speak● to you I will collect all our disputations into one body wherein I will set down in writing what I hold in this point agreeable to what I professe to you my determination with my self is to follow neither men nor their opinions but God and his word For although ye have conferred with some who beare the name of Christians but are not so indeed but dare blaspheme the God of Abraham of Isaac and of I●cob and who say that there is no resurrection of the dead but that presently after death their souls are received into heaven yet you must not thinke that those are Christians as neither any man if he judge aright will acknowledge the Sadduces or such like heretiques as those of the Genists M●rists Galil●ans Hell●nians and Pharisees who are Baptists to be I●ws not to trouble you with the expression of all that is in my minde they be called Iews and the children of Abraham and confesse God with their mouthes but their heart as God himself complaineth is farre from him 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 But I and all entirely Orthodoxe Christians doe both know the future resurrection of the body and the thousand yeers in that Ierusalem that shall be reedified adorned and enlarged as the Prophets Ezekiel and Esay and others doe declare For so Esay of the time of those thousand yeers 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Esa 65.17 For there shall be a new heaven and a new earth and the former shall not be remembred neither shall they come into their mindes but they shall finde joy and rejoycing in those which I create For behold I make Ierusalem to triumph and my people to rejoyce and so forth to the end of the Chapter But of that for the dayes of my people shall be as the dayes of the tree of life he addeth In these words we understand that the thousand yeers are impli●itely pointed at For as it was said to Adam in that day thou eatest of the tree in that same day thou also shalt die we know he did not accomplish a thousand yeers we know also saith he that saying that a day with the Lord is a thousand yeers is to our purpose Moreover a certaine man with us whose name is John being one of the twelve Apostles of Christ in that Reve●ation which was shewed to him prophesied that our faithfull members of Christ should accomplish those thousand yeers at Ierusalem and then the generall and in a word the everlasting resurrection and last judgement of all joyntly together even that whereof also our Lord spake wherein they shall neither marry nor be given in marriage but shall be equall with the Angels even sonnes of the resurrection of God For the gifts of prophesie are extant with us even till this time c. There is another place to this purpose in the same book After the discourse of the great Day of judgement which he calleth 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 when the Iews should lament Christ whom they have crucified and Christ himselfe inaugurated after the order of Melchisedech should be the Iudge of quick and dead presently he addeth At whose second coming thinke not ye that Esay or other Prophets warned us to offer up sacrifices of blood or drinke offerings but true and spirituall sacrifices of praise and thanksgiving THE OPINIONS OF THE LEARNED HEBREWS CONCERNING the great Day of Judgement and the Kingdom of CHRIST then to be CArpentarius in his Commentary upon Plato his Alcinous pag. 322. affirmeth That the seventh Millenary is called by the whole Schoole of the Cabalists The great Day of Iudgement because then saith he they suppose that God will Iudge the souls of all men By the name of the Cabalists if I be not mistaken he pointeth at the Doctors of the Talmud with many of whom it is manifest this tradition was frequent for we reade in Gemara Sanedrin Perek Chelek 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 R. Ketina said The world doth continue sixe thousand yeers and Esa 2.11.17 in one it shall be destroyed Of which it is said And the Lord only shall be exalted in that day But he understandeth that destruction which shall be by fire whereby the world shall be purified as gold and shall be freed from the servitude of the curse under which it groaneth by reason of mans sinne into the glorious libertie of the sonnes of God Rom. 8. 22. It followeth a little after 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 That is Tradition agreeth with R. Ketina Even as every seventh yeere of seven yeers is a yeere of release so of the seven thousand yeers of the world the seventh thousand yeere shall be the thousand of release as it is said And the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day Likewise in the 92 Psalme the title is said to be A Psalme or song for the Sabbath day that is the day that is nothing else but rest Againe it is said in the 90 Psalme For a thousand yeeres in thy sight are but as yesterday Here let the Reader note two things First that the ancient Iews did understand that Prophesie in the second of Esay where these words And the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day are twise taken for the day of the great judgement and the kingdom of Christ whose steps our later Rabbins have seemed to imitate R. Schelomo saith 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 In that day that is in the Day of iudgement Againe 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 when he shall arise to shake the earth terribly that is saith he 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 In the day of iudgement when the Lord shall breake the wicked of the Earth Rabbi
