As also, the succinct order of things from Christs first appearing in the clouds, unto the eternal state, after the day of judgment. By T.M. a lover of truth. 1680 (1680) Wing M86; ESTC R221371 14,235 15

humane bodies though glorified more than an immaterial visional glory can be supposed to be VII Argument To prove the Earths duration Eternal as a place of Glory is these Scriptures that appear to assign the Sea's place to be the place of Hell hereafter Revel 21.1 Isai 66.24 compared with Mark 9.43.44 there was no more Sea but there was a new Earth Isai 66. They shall go forth and look upon the Carcases of the men c. for their Worm shall not dye c. Which Christ expounds of Hell fire Mark 9.44 c. Now the Argument is this If they shall go forth to look upon them then they do not come down from Heaven to do it But being upon the Earth going forth so to do is very proper Again Hell is called a Lake Revel 20.10 14 15. Chap. 21.8 So are some Seas now called Luke 5.1 8.22 And though there be many Seas now and many Islands yet great Transformations may pass upon the terrestrial globe by its Conflagration perhaps to the reducing the many Seas into one Tophet and the whole Earth into one intire Continent for the Redeemed to walk there 2 Pet. 3.10 13. So Revel 6 14. When this day of the Lord is presented to us 't is said The heavens departed as a Scroll and every Mountain and Island were moved out of their places Which is called a shaking Hebr. 12.26 27. melting dissolving burning up 2 Pet. 3.10 11. folding up and changing Hebr. 1.12 But none of these express an Annihilation but destroying the form and surface and the works of men on the Earth In order to its passing into a New State when he that sitteth upon the Throne saith behold I make all things new Revel 21.1 5. Object But if the Sea shall be Hell hereafter then there is no Hell now Answer Hell is called a Prison 1 Pet. 3.19 But being they are spirits only that as yet are therein It s a question whether any spacious place be needful thereunto Whether they reside now in the deep or in the air I leave it Only the Damn'd spirits are in Chains of Darkness Jude 6. VIII Argument To prove the Immortality and Eternity of this New State is to consider That nothing but sin brings Destruction And God will free this New State from both the Cause and Effects of Sin and also secure it from both for the future 1. Satan that was the Occasion of the first Sin in the World is before this judged to the Lake Rev. 20.10 14. 2. And there shall be no more Curse Revel 21.3 So that the first Wound by Mans fall is perfectly cured and the Effect thereof is no other than a perfect Restitution 3. Jesus Christ the Lord from Heaven that was to come down thence to help the sinking Earth when it sailed in its head Man in the manifold Wisdom of God did not only make peace for man by the blood of his Cross but also as Angels also had faln● from Heaven Reconciled all things in one in himself both things in heaven and things in catth Col. 1.20 Enes 1.10 as hereafter will be manifest Yea the Creature it self to wit the irrational shall be delivered into the glorious liberty of the Children of God Rom. 8.21 So that I say Man and the Creation of God have a Restorer Colos 1.20 but 't is onely thee Elect that shall come to this time the wicked being judged to hell before See the next IX Argument from Ephes 1.14 Vntil the Redemption of the purchased Possession Here it may be Q●aeried How Heaven if that were the Possession spoken of can or ●eed be redeemed then It was never under the Curse tho the Earth is and the Creatures subjected in hope to the bondage of Corruption until their deliverance at the manifestation of the Sins of God ver 19 20 21. And therefore the Redemption of the Possession appears to be by way of Deliverance and Restoration as the Resurrection of the Saints Bodies from the dust of Death is called ver 23. the Adoption the Redemption of their Body Christ purchased the Eternal Inheritance and he is the Heir of all things Hebr. 1.2 and the Saints joint heirs with him Rom. 8.17 18 c. And what Inheritance see Rom. 4.13 and page 3. X. Argument That as neither the Soul nor Body of man hath lost any Essential part by the Fall but only depravity and misery in both so no essential powers of Heaven or Earth are lost by the Fall Still the Course of Nature is Lord in the Universe in the Vegetation of Plants Courses of the Luminaries procreation of Animals bounds of the Seas Tides c. Only evil qualities a curse instead of a Blessing And now the promise There shall be no more curse Revel 22.3 will turn the thorn and brier into pleasant plants as the tenour of these Promises in Isai 55.13 Chap. 41.18 19. See page 7. Though they have also a spiritual fulfilling in the New Creature even now yet when the Creation it self as a general good shall be brought forth that will be the absolute and ultimate fulfilling Or else what is the meaning of the Restitution of all things before spoken to p. 3 4. XI Argument To prove the literal and eterral fulfilling the New Heavens and Earth is that utter inconsistency of any other sense to be put upon the words in 2 Pet. 3.13 Rev. 21.1 For 2. Pet. 3.13 Nevertheless we according to his promise look for New Heavens and a New Earth wherein dwelleth Righteousness this evidently referrs to that Destruction of this present World by Fire that he was treating of ver 10. But the day of the Lord will come as a Thief in the night in which the Heavens shall pass away with a great neise and the Elements shall melt with fervent heat the Earth also and the works that are therein shall be burnt up Now if this be a literal visible Destruction and the Apostle comforts himself with a New state upon the loss of the Old as ver 13. Then what more apparent than that the New shall both be after the Old and as visible as the Old had been in the same way and sense And if it be a Visible material New State then it shall not be only fulfilled in a Mystical way in Church and State in this Life Besides after the Old World is destroyed there will be no Church or State in being to receive such a fulfilling And then for Revel 21.1 it also evidently referrs to Revel 20.11 where the visible Earth nd Heaven fled away at Christs Appearing to Judgment and Chap. 11.1 Asserts a new Creation of both in the room thereof And therefore why not taken as visibly as the former OBJECTIONS against the Literal and Eternal fulfilling of the New Heavens and Earth Answered 1st Object 'T is expressly sard of this State Isai 65.17 c. they shall live long and build Houses plant Vineyards c. which plainly belongs to this
