Being without a Blessing but misery Therefore in chap. 9. he largly distributes his Blessings to Noah his Sons to the beasts cattle and creeping thing fish fowls and every plant or green herb and subjects all to man only forbidding cruelty as appears by that expression Flesh with the life thereof that is the blood thereof shall ye not eat and again repeats his blessing v. 7. And then God largly establisheth his Covenant with all creatures and men again in v. 8 9 10 11 12. and then confirms it with the token of the Rainbow from v. 13. with a great deal of very gracious inlargment and improvement when they shall see that token to v. 17 Hence Gods Throne is compassed with the Rainbow Ez. 1. Rev. 4. where he gives an excellent Epephonema of his said grace as I may say And God said unto Noah this is the token of the Covenant which I have established between me and all flesh which is upon the earth Now as the earth with its fruitfulness and varieties of creatures is made the stage and accommodation too for all actings of promised and purposed grace from thence to the end of the world so the chief and greatest performances of fruitfulness are reserved for the time of Christs said reign as Psal 67. twice Then shall the earth bring forth her increase and God even our God shall give us his blessings And hence so many and great promises of those kindes upon the great Restauration of the Jews and Israelites and for both Davids house and Abrabrahams Isaacs and Jacobs then to have the Dominion See from this Covenant a strong assurance made thereof twice together almost yet in two Visions of the Prophet Jeremiah ch 33. v. 20 21. If saith God ye can break my Covenant of the day and my Covenant of the night c. Then may also my Covenant be broken with David my servant that he should not have a Son to reign upon his Throne c. that is Christ shall most certainly reign as the Son of David to the end of the world and what man shall dare to deny this and make any other meaning thereof And again v. 25 26. If my Covenant be not with day and night and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob and David my servant so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham Isaac and Jacob for I will cause their captivity to return and have mercy on them Many other places may here be produced to like purpose but this in brief at present 3. That all those Promises and Covenanted Mercies made and given to and with Abraham Isaac and Jacob and to their spiritual seed by that one Divine seed Christ for a thousand Generations which is a frequent expression in holy Scripture Jer. 32.18 Ezek. 34.7 Deut. 5.10 and particularly applyed to the promise and Covenant of the Land of Canaan and sung out by David at the bringing home the Arke to his Tent provided for it 1 Chr. 16.8 and again recorded Ps 105.8 c. in the last place said to be the Covenant which God remembred for ever and the word commanded for a thousand Generations c. as largly there set down to all three who in the grace they received resembled the Trinity Abraham as the fountain of mercy to his seed invested in himself Isaac as the conveyer thereof in thy seed alone not in thee Jacob as the immediate dispenser to the twelve Tribes to Ishmael his natural seed but in conjunction with Christ that what was wanting in Jacob should be made up in Christ therefore saies God to him in thee and in thy seed Christ shall all the families of the earth be blessed and God often stiles himself the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob in reference to the Promise yet to be fulfilled to them personally in their inheriting the promise of Canaan called the Lot of their Inheritance Psal 105.11 in the time of Christs Kingdom on earth but the 1000. generations seems to contain 7000. years from the giving the first promise Gen. 3.15 to the end of the world Which Promise contained in the bowels of it all the great Promises made to the Fathers afterwards and as from that Conduit head God hath disposed through those water pipes of future Promises his mercies to this or that person family or nation as he pleased ever since a generation being usually reckoned 7 years as 21 years is 3 lives suitable to Davids old age of 70 years which few of very many attain to in the intermediat 4000. years of the world for the ages of the old world and of the world to come differ for distinct reasons so the other seems to be the standard and the said Promise or Covenant seems be to here said to be remembred for ever and the other drawn from that for the residue of 1000. generations by Abraham Isaac and Jacob to their spiritual seed at the Resurrection of the just c. untill as Job saith The heavens shall be no more and the earth with all upon it become ve Tohu ve Bohu i. e. become again without form and void for ever c. or a perpetual prison Come we first to Abraham that Pater excelsus the Father of the faithful to whom the said grace was dispensed in a 7 sold gradation Gen. 12.2 3. and so forward c. Whereupon his ready obedience to Gods call he made a large comprehensive Promise of that land and all other mercies to himself alone personally as Gen. 1● 18 through the Divine one seed Christ conceived then and afterwards so by faith in Abrahams soul that as our Saviour said John 8.56 Abraham saw my day and was glad yea and his future day also of injoyment a far of with Isaac Jacob and Sarah Heb. 11. at the said Resurrection represented in the deadness of Abrahams body and Sarahs womb and Isaacs saving from death in a figure c. 2. Upon his coming to Sichem God appeared to him and promised that land unto his natural seed v. 7. as it is expounded c. 15.13 14. whereof Abraham in person was to have no part v. 15. nor Isaac nor Jacob who all died long before the 400. years ended 3. When he was severed from Lot God said to him c 13 14 15 16 17. View all the coasts East West c. For I will give it to thee and to thy seed for ever namely to his one most Divine seed Christ Gal. 3.16 who should continue for ever and would retain his right and maintain Abrahams Proprietie which he hath purchased for him and all his and God bids him walk through that land then for saith he again I will give it unto thee 4. When upon Gods great incouragement Abraham represents his Age and Childless estate unto God c. Thereupon he bids him look up to Heaven and tell the Stars
