Exod. 27. 1. and from Solomon's which was Twenty Cubits square as too much 2 Chron. 4. 1. And why was this but to shew the True Attonement for the whole Israel of God Jews and Gentiles in its Symbolical Twelve Tribes is Jesus Christ declared to be so in the Doctrine of the New Testament established by the Apostolical Twelve And the Spiritual Levitical Priesthood concerning which God Lift up his Hand Jerem. 33. 19. c. is diffus'd through all Saints who shall be Priests of God and Christ in Robes wash'd in his Blood and daily Rejoycing in his Sacrifice and Altar most Holy And Other Tribe of Levi scatter'd through this whole Israel as that of old in Type Gen. 49. 7. and so Bless'd by Moses Deut. 33. 17. The New Testament Acknowledges none So Great is that mistake of calling the Elders Pastors and Doctors of the Gospel so of which the Gospel says nothing but the Contrary nor hath It come into its Mind And of the other Altar c. 41. 22. It is expresly said This is the Table before the Lord Leading us to that Great Supper of the Kingdom call'd the Lords Table wherein we shew forth the Lords 1 Cor. 11. 26. death till He come when we shall Eat and Drink at his Table in his Kingdom in that Passeover Fulfill d and that Fruit of the Vine New in the Kingdom the Father as the Ancient of Days hath given to the Son and to the Saints of the most High Dan. 7. v. 9. 13. 27. Matt. 26. 29. Luke 22. 16. And to shew the Spirituality of this State The Altar of Incense and the Table viz. of the Shew Bread Become One For I see no Reason to think as some Interpreters do that that v. 22. c. 41. consists of Two Things viz. The Declaration of the Altars Measures and then a Declaration to Ezekiel as by the by That near the Altar is the Table before the Lord But rather herein is this Great Mystery The Melchizedekian Priesthood brings forth the Super-substantial Bread of the Kingdom and with it the Power of the Endless Liv'd Intercession signified by Incense and Interpreted to be the Melchizedekian Priesthood of Christ Heb. 7. throughout with Revel 8. 2. So that They Became both one Correspon 8. The Jews have an undoubted Priority and the Gentiles an Engrafting and are even 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 a Body together a whole Israel one Temple Ephes 2. 21. c. 3. 6. Rom. 11. 17. 26. The first is so plain that the Vision is made up wholly of it So that I am fully convinc'd No Spiritual Mystical Evangelical sense can Satisfie it There must be therefore a Reception a Reduction of the Twelve Tribes which He Knows how to Gather and sift for who can Summon Them from A●●s 9. 9. and as it were by the Four Winds So that as their Reduction shall be like the Sifting of the Resurrection for Every mans Own Body and Life from the Dead to Themselves Of which we have that Illustrous Vision Ezek. c. 37. 1. c. So It shall be to the Gentile Churches Engrafted into that Olive that is the Jews Own the Time of the First Resurrection Even to All the Dead in Christ whom God will bring with Him And to the Saints who shall be 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 T●e Living The Remaining 1. Thess 4. 15. 17. There shall be such Issues of Living waters as are after to be declar'd Now as to the Latter part viz. the Gentiles Engrafting though indeed there are only Silent mentions of the Gentiles by the Strangers Sojourning among Them having the same Interest by Lot that They Had Yet It is because the Vision is Given in Jewish Types and Language But the Gospel declaring Jews and Gentiles are All One Body One Temple One New Man in the Stature of the Fulness of Christ One Olive Tree with its Natural and Engrafted Branches It is made Certain The Twelve Tribes with the Sojourners are the whole Israel of God c. 47. 22. In as much then as the Apostle Rom. 11. v. 12. hath declar'd a 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 an Ecclips under which the Jews lye to this day and that there is also a 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or a Full ORB'D LIGHT to which They are to Arise And that by Esa 60 1 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 v. 25. Speaking of the same 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or Full Orb'd Light of the Gentile Church The Apostle did privatly Foretell an Ecclipse by the Apostacy under which That Gentile Church was to Fall and then Ballanc'd the order of Each Churches Time We may thus understand it First the Gentile Church is to Come out of its Eclipse and Apostacy to its Full Orb'd Light when as our Saviour says The Gentiles Times shall be Fullfil'd Luc. 21. 24. Then Judah first of the Two and Israel of the Ten Tribes shall be Receiv'd both When This is perfected Then shall be the First Resurrection or as the Apostle Calls it Life from the Dead v. 15. For as the Jews could not be made perfest according to this Vision without the Gentiles which They not enduring became Enemies for their sakes So that their Casting away was the Riches v. 25. with ●2 of the World Even so the Gentiles becoming the prime Church of Christ could not be made perfect without them God therefore cast the Gentile Church into Martyrdoms under the Pagan Empire for 400 Years of the Seals then under an Apostasie of 1260 Years under the Antichrist not yet expir'd And when the Gentile Church is so far prepar'd by Sufferings It must come to that Full Orb But because it cannot be Fully perfect without the Twelve Tribes They must be Receiv'd that Both may be together perfected according to this Vision and as the Apostle v. 15. says by the Gentile Churches Mercy or Glory that must by promise be after the 1260 Days Joyn'd with the 400 Years of the Seals so long the Souls under the Alone slain by Paganism must Rest till the Rest slain by Antichristianism should be Fulfill'd according to Revel 6. 11. Then the Jews obtain Mercy v. 31. and must be Receiv'd that All may be Glorified together On which Mysterious Ordination the Apostle cries out Oh the Depth v. 33. So we see this Vision cannot be Accomplish'd till the Full Orb'd Light of the Twelve Tribes together with the Gentile Church Both which are yet under Eclipse till the 1260 End And then Preparation shall be daily made for the after Glory at the 1335 Days ending by the Everlasting Gospel Freach'd to all Tongues c. or to all the Gentiles And the Twelve Tribes shall then be also Receiv'd and the Veil or Eclispe Remov'd It is very Remarkable therefore though at the Resurrection of Christ Revel c. 4. c. 5. there was a Representation of the Apostol● Church of both Jews and Gentiles in the Living Creatures It was as in Heaven and after shut up there during
Successors after the Resurrection The Third 1000 will Rise to the Loins in the First Days of the Seventh Trumpet when this Temple shall be Open'd in Heaven But the Fourth Thousand in the Milennial State or in this Vision Accomplish'd in the Kingdo● of Christ There will be a River Running down from Above throughout the New Earth beneath a River of Life to Bathe and Swim in and that cannot be pass'd over nor Transcended in any Temple State For It is an Ocean Correspond 12. The Spring of All this State is the Glory of God coming into his Temple c. 43. 1. And the perfection of it is JEHOVAH is THERE as in perpetual Residence of his Throne c. 48. last and of the Soles of his Feet Yea so that He becomes Himself with the Lamb the Temple of this City as hath been said Well therefore might All parts of the Temple be Embellish'd with Cherubims attending the Divine Presence And as attending the Lamb They had the Face of a Man on one side Worshipping Emmanuel God in our Nature and of a Young Lyon on the other in Homage to the Lyon of the Tribe of Judah The Temple was also Adorn'd with Palm Trees Representing the Innumerable Palm Bearing Company of Saints c. 41. 19. c. Revel 7. 9. I have now presented the General Table of this Vision in Agreement in the Chief and Main Importances of it with the New Jerusalem It now Remains that I draw up some Conclusions giving the Scripture Rationality of the whole Conclusion 1. Although this State be so Great and Excellent a State that It can never have an End Impos'd upon it or that it can expire of it self Yet it is by the Apostles express Doctrine 1 Cor. 15. 24. to be Deliver'd up Even this Temple and this Kingdom of Christ As the Father is in it It shall be Resum'd And as the Son is in it It shall be Resign'd or Deliverd up by the Son with his Saints For as from Heaven It comes down for the Glory of God and Christ so thither It shall be drawn and Resign'd up Now All this speaks it to be in order to a Higher End There must be therefore some Ultimate State and Perfection to which even this Temple and Throne are as the Apostle styles it an Oeconomy or Dispensation of the Fullness of all Former Times In order to this All former Dispensations were and are as to their next even Supreme end and the very Complement of Them So This is in order to a further ●xaltation of it self that does not indeed give it End but comprehend it and into which It is deliver'd up And this is that God may be All in All and that the Son and his Saints may be Subject Or as our Great Mediator expresses it John 17. 21. 22. 23. That They viz. All the Saints of Christ may be One as Thou Father art in me and I in Thee That They also may be One in us And the Glory which Thou ga●est Me I have Given Them That They may be in one Even as we are One I in Them and Thou i● me that They may be made Perfect in One This being the Supreme End It gives Law to the Noblest means and even to That which is to All others an End viz. to this Grand Oeconomy and wherein All Oeconomies are Sum'd up Conclus 2. There never was Any Temple-state Either High Enough or Secure Enough for this Vnion of the Saints with God All in All till this Temple-State wherein God and the Lamb are the Temple be Brought down Herein therefore the Highest Perfection of the Redemption of Christ is Enjoy'd There are therefore Robes washed in ●is Blood There is a Continual Participation of the Altar of his Sacrifice His Intercession and Himself as the SHEW BREAD of Life is as an Altar of Incense and the Table before the Lord There is the Annoynting of All Things by the pouring out of his Spirit making his Servants Kings as well as Priests And All the Heavenly Things of this State are Purified that is Purchased and Consecrated by that Better Sacrifice of Jesus Christ in his Blood Heb. 9. 23. Even Angels and Glorified Spirits of Just Men wait for their being made perfect in this State and Learn from Time to Time till then Then All the Treasures of wisdom and Gace shall ●e Open'd to the Rev. 20. 6. Priests of God and Christ a 1000 Years And They shall be therein Compleated for the unspeakable and Eternal Vnion with God All in All. This State is Begun here on Earth on which Account The Servants of Christ are now in Common And not the Elders Pastors and Doctors of the Gospel only Call'd the Royal Priest-hood 1 Pet. 53. to which Dr. Hammonds Notion of 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 will Excellently Agree and the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the Portion and Lots of God according to the words the Holy Spirits wisdom Teacheth However we from the Ancients Humane Wisdom have Learn'd to speak Otherwise In them all alike is the Spiritual Tribe of Levi Perpetuated according to Jerem. 33. 21. 22. From this State Spirits Going to God are before the Thro●e in white Robes of this same Priesthood Cloath'd and so prepar'd to be Invested with Glorious Bodies in this High Temple State and therein Consecrated for an Eternal Vnion with God All in All So the Sublime Purification of this State is according to the Divine Oeconomy absolutely necessary to that Eternal Vnion Conclus 3. This Temple ●tate is the Complement of all Proph●●y For as All Things Times and Pr●phecy have been some ways Prophetick of it Even Adam in Paradise was the Type 〈◊〉 who is Yet to come in it And the Two Last Voices of Pro●● Fullfil'd It is done It is done come out of this Temple R●● 16. 17. and from the Throne of this Temple Revel 21. 6. as R●membring Ezekiel's Temple and Throne Even so All dates ●● Time from the Beginning more especially from Daniel's 2●0● Evenings Mornings have been kept by it and determine in th●● as the Apostle calls it the Fullness not of Time only as th●● Time of Christs Incarnation and Death are call d Gal. 4. 4. b●● the Fullness of Times that is All Times Ephes 1. 10. An● further to shew in this of the New Jerusalem or Ezekiels V●sion Fulfill'd All the Law and the Prophets are Fulfilld we may observe in that Grand Vision of the Gospel the Trans●●guration in the Mount which by the Apostle Peters express Exposition Ep. 2. c. 1. v. 16. c. was a Vision of the Power ●● Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and wherein God the Father ga●● Him Honour and Glory and by a Voice from that Excellent Glo●● that shall come down into his Kingdom Establish'd Him ●●preme saying This is my Beloved Son in whom I am well pleas'd Hear ye Him At the same Time Moses as Supreme Med●●to● on Earth of the Jewish Law and all its Tabernacle of Testi●●●● and its Types And Elias as that Prophet who was the Type ●● that Vndying State Carried up immediately into Heaven ●● Chariots of Fire and so the Chief of the Prophets Appear'd ●● Him to shew this State was indeed the Full Complement of th●● Prophetical Law and of all the Prophets Luke 9. 30. 35. Conclus 4. We should consider that this Temple is yet shut u● and not seen till the Days of the Seventh Trumpet because ●● Days of the Apostasie are not yet expir'd Nothing therefore ●● yet be as it ought according to the Pattern In the m●● Time This is our duty to come as near to it as we can by o●●ing nothing but according to the very Word of God For see●● All Things commanded by God are Patterns of Heavenly th●●●● and the Temple in Heaven is not yet seen none can transgress ●● much as by a Ceremony and be Innocent So nice and seve●● is that Admonition for this very Reason See thou do All Things according to the Pattern shew'd thee in the Mount Heb. 8. 5.
