the Apostasie and not so much as seen Nor any Appearance of those Elders and Living Creatures from c. 8. when the Apostasie was entring till the Seventh Trumpet c. 11. And when it is seen more and more c. 15. Yet it does not come down till c. 19. c. 21. And of this there is also this observable in the First Appearance of the Church in Heaven c. 4. The Gentile Apostolic Church in the Living Creatures is First and so when the Gentile Apostolic Church is restor'd under the Great Voices viz. of the Four Living Creatures c. 11. 15. 9. and c. 14. 1. is Returning to its Full Orb. But in every Vision of the New Jerusalem as c. 7. 11. c. 19. 4. The Elders are First signifying the Priority of the Israelitish Apostolic Church Receiv'd Till in that order the Priority is continued to Israel in the name of the New Jerusalem for ever So that must be first in the Elders But the Gentile Church is also Included in the Living Creatures looking universally to East West North South and Both are one Israel one New Jerusalem Correspond 9. The State of Blessedness and Happiness being Typ'd out by the Land of Canan divided by Lot is in this Vision also Represented as divided or distributed by Lot though as Interpreters Agree after a Divine Heavenly Spiritual and not an Earthly manner Thus it is promis'd to Daniel in Admirable Agreement with this Type That He shall stand in his Lot in the End of the 1335 Days plainly shewing when this Vision shall be Accomplish'd viz at the end of the 1335 Years the Last of the 2300 Evens Morns which 1335 began in just Succession upon the 965th which as is elsewhere shown ended in 437 of our Christian Account of Them and the 1335 at 1772. when Daniel shall Appear in Body with All the Dead Saints And as Inheritance and Priesthood fell under Lots so the Royal Inheritance and Priesthood of the New Jerusalem is fitly Typ'd out by Lots the Heavenly Inheritance being call'd 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 a distribution by Lot And so Rev 21. 7. He that Overcometh as the Israelites the Cananites shall Inherit all Things by Lot but the Fearful c. Even as those Fearful Spies Num. 13. 32. 33. were cut off shall be cast out into the Lake Correspond 10. The State of the New Heaven in the New Jerusalem is fitly given in Symbol or Type by the very Top of the ●zek 43. 12. Mountain the Limit of which Round about shall be a Holy of Holies and by the place of Gods Throne and the New Earth in all the various degrees of Approach to God by the Lower Gradual descents from that Holy of Holies and by the Place of the Soles of Gods Feet as if a Throne reached from Heaven down to Earth by its Footstool as was said before in Jacob's Ladder and as in the Prayer of the Kingdom as in Heaven and upon Earth * So the Throne lifted up the Tram filld All E●ai 6. Correspond 11. As the first Paradise had its noted Rivers as of Living Waters and a Tree of Life And as the New Jerusalem hath a River clear as Chrystal proceeding from the Throne of God and of the Lamb and a Tree of Life whose Leaves were for the Healing of the Nations c. 22. 1. c. And as in that Happy State the Lamb Feeds his delivered Servants and Leads Them to the Fountains of Living Waters So in this Vision there are Rev. 7. 17. Waters issuing from the Temple and the Altar Running into the Desert and into the Sea and Healing it so that It becomes an Ocean of Life And the Trees that grow by this River of these Waters are both for Food and Medicine and their Fruit New every Month as Rev. 22. 2. with Ezek. 47. 12. From whence issue an Universality and Perpetuity of Life For whatever Lives shall Live Even as in the First Resurrection of the New Jerusalem Blessed and Holy is He that hath his part in that First Resurrection either as in the New Heaven above or in the New Earth below For It is All one Life to Eternity The Living the Remaining dye not but are Changed and Caught up even as the Children of the Resurrection in the New Heaven cannot dye Rev. 20. 6. with 1 Thess 4. 17. 1 Cor. 15. 51. and Luke 20. 36. But as in the New Jerusalem of the Revelation There is a Lake and the Dead slain with the Sword of Christ's Mouth Live not again till the 1000 Years are Ended that is Never For then the Dead are cast together with the Devil Hell and Death into the Lake which is the Second Death oppos'd to the First Resurrection with which it begins and continues to Everlasting All one Death Whatever is Dead and not in the Book of Life dyeth for ever without a First Death even as the First Resurrection is All one Life without a Second Resurrection Rev. 20. 5. So in this Vision there are Marishes and Miry places that are not Heal'd but Given to Salt even the Salt of Fire and Brimstone and make the same Lake shewing both Prophecies of Ezekiel and John describe one State so parallel in so many Great Things Ezek. 47. 11. And now it is well known such a State hath never yet been so much as Spiritually much less Litterally Fulfill'd on Earth Nor can it be a Heavenly Paradise here intended For what Nations Desert or Sea will be then to be Heal'd What Fish to be propagated in such Abundance or to be Taken Which according to our Saviours Great Gospel-Parable of Fishers of Men signifie the very same Thing with the Dew of Christs Youth numerous as the drops of Dew from the Womb of the Psal 110. 3. Morning It must needs be therefore the New Jerusalem State on Earth when Christ shall have an Off-Spring so numerous as to make Recompense for the over-number of the Lost now And in All that State There shall be to the Second Adam Then to come in this New Jerusalem State when the Apostle wrote more of the Reign of Righteousness and Life then to the First Adam of Sin and Death Rom. 5. 12. to the End And this shall be when that False Fisher-man Antichrist with all his Nets is cast into the Lake of these Marishes and Miry Places never to be Heal'd Now These Waters were Four Times Measur'd by a Line viz. the Line of Flax Recorded c. 40. 10. and mention'd on this occasion only Each Measure was a 1000 Cubits But in Regard of the Great Dryness and Barenness of the Earth before though the Divine Manifestation was so GRAND Yet It Reach'd only to the Ancles having small success This may very well Resemble the Few to whom the Arm of the Lord was Reveal'd by the divine Preaching of Christ Himself and his Apostles before the Resurrection The Second 1000 Reach'd to the Knees in the Preaching of the Apostles and their Immediate

Mistakes spring from the same Root We are Afraid of a Kingdom of Christ that should make an Impression on the present State of our Carnal Grandieur and Enjoyment of this World and therefore desire All Things should Run in that Channel till Death and Final Judgment and the State of Eternity Temporal Princes and States-men would not have any change in their Powe● and Politicks and are Angry Christ should 〈…〉 told to Take to Him His Great Power and to Reign Ecclesiastical Grandees would have their Jurisdiction their Regiment their Canons their Dignities and Revenues Remain in the order wherein They now Stand And so the same Temper Runs down to the lowest of Both of each sort And thus we even as They Tread such Paths as that not Knowing the Voices of the Prophets Acts 13. 27. though we Read them as They did often Fulfill them in Condemning Him or His Kingdom For the Glory of this Kingdom and World to come whereof we now speak is so plainly declar'd and yet we are so Averse to it that It is Hard to know whether Theirs or Ours is the Greater Blindness Only Blessed be God the Error is not so damnable in our Case as in Theirs In the mean time We Pray for and Profess to desire better Things Even such as the Prophets have Foretold But what Hopes can there be of such a Betterness without a Higher Oeconomy or Administration from Heaven when the fairest Appearances that ever have yet been upon Earth have been Blasted Faded and Wither'd as a Flower in the Field when It hath most spread its Glory Even This is a Demonstration beyond denial that either there is a Despair of any better State or else some Great Prophesies must be Fulfill d according to the High Eloquence of Scripture concerning a Restitution of All Things by the Second Adam from the Time of the Fall of the First Adam and a Spirit pour'd out from on High Suitable to it Oh that therefore by this and other Concurrent Discourses I might however unworthy be Instrumental to perswade That we might with One Consent Give our selves by Books to Understand when the 1260 Years which God will have Accomplish'd for the Desolations of his Sanctury shall come to an End And that we would Set our our Faces to the Lord to Seek by Supplication Fasting and Ashes as the True Witnesses of Christ that They may come to an End Even if it may be sooner then 1697. And I am most assur'd that at that Time at least we shall prevail and the Tabernacle of Testimony and the Ark of the Testament shall Begin to be seen by us in the Temple open'd in Heaven and It will be Filling with the Smoak of Divine Purification by the Spirit of Jugdment and of Burning just before the Glory of the Lord Returning to it For the Time given for the Bringing Ezekiel's Vision into Effect must be at Hand and the New Jerusalem shall come down as the Lord hath spoken Amen 〈…〉 A●justment of the Lords Prayer to th● Vision O●R Father which art in Heaven whom yet the Heaven of Heavens cannot contain Hallowed be thy N●●e Bow thy 1 Kings 8. 27.

Seed being Seal'd up in the Abyss For Thine is the Kingdom the Power and the Glory The Cherubims and Palm-Bearing Company shall sing Everlasting Hallelujahs The Lord God Omnipotent Reigns For Ever and Ever In a Kingdom deliver'd up to God and the Father throughout Eternity of Ages Amen So be it and So it shall be So It shall be done The Humble Proposal to the Reader I Have already published however at several Times as I could a Scheme of the whole Scripture Line of Time and Prophecy as a Preface to the Work and with it a Compare of the First State of Things that may be call'd the Stasis at the First Sabboth with the Restitution which the Apostle calls A●● Catastasis or Re-Enstating Them at the Grand Sabbatism and so proceeded by the Patriarchal Line down to Abraham and from Him to the Going out of Egypt And then beginning at Cyrus have drawn the Line to the Thousand Years Kingdom of Christ I have also strengthen'd the Fixing the Line of Time from Cyrus to that Kingdom by Full discourse on the Visions of the Four Monarchies in Nebuchadnezzars Image c. 2. and the Four Beasts c. 7. and shewn How the Revelation Falls in with and more Fully ●narchy in a Tre●●●se call'd The Kingdom of 〈…〉 Time accordin● 〈◊〉 those Four Monarchies I have also prov'd 〈…〉 ●narchy to be the Roman Pagan Empire and then the Papacy with a short ●●●●●thesis of the 〈…〉 Empire in both That and Another discourse call'd Gods Command to come out of Babylon I have now published Ezekiels Vision of the Temple and City in the ●●and design of it the New Jerusalem and shown the several States of the Churches of God and of Jesus Christ till this Temple and City come down in the New Jerusalem are Commensurate to the whole Time of the Four Monarchies and give Dates to the Line of Time ever since first in that entire Line of 2300 Evens Morns after Forty Years from this Vision given to the New Jerusalem and in several Parcel Collatteral Lines and by Name of Daniel's 70 Week and 1335 Days And also herein Joyn'd a discourse on the Reformation the Rising of the Witnesses at 97 when shall be the Great

Re-Reformation I have Lastly published the Prophetical Song of Solomon from the Kingdom of David the Type to the Kingdom of the Great David the Antitipe Shewing its Stupendious Configurations with all Prophecy There now Remains to fill up the Line of Time from the Going out of Egypt to the Building the Temple and so to Solomon's Death and from thence to the Restoring that Temple by Cyrus and therein to Solve the Difficulties of the 480 Years in the History 1 Kings 6. 1. and the 450 Acts 13. 20. and to Clear that the 390 Days and 40 Days of Ezekiel's lying on his side continue the Line from Solomon's Death and the One Kingdom of Israel Becoming Two to the Restoration by Cyrus And upon all this I Find it necessary in an entire Discourse to clear by plain Positive Doctrinal Scripture in compare with Prophetical that There is such a Kingdom of Christ as of the 1090 Years New Heaven above and the New Earth below that Begins with a Judgment by the Vials and ends in the Casting the Last Enemies the Devil Hell and Death into the Lake and between Those is a Thousand Years Kingdom of Visible Glory of Christ and his Saints after the manner of his Transfiguration above and after the manner of Adam in Paradise below and Full of Holy Spirituality and Enjoyment of the Redemption of Christ Free from all Cerinthian or Millenarian Heresie and shining in that Divine Oeconomy or Preparational Glory until the Kingdom is deliver'd up to God and the Father All in All. And Lastly To shew that the Lords Prayer the Sacraments of Baptism and of the Lords Supper even as I have shown the Sabbaths of the Old and New Testament have their Continuance and their Great use as the only Ceremonials of the New Testament in Typing out that Great Kingdom Upon all this I Humbly Propose to every Reader that is Favourable hereunto and of Ability to Assist me by Contributions for Thirty Sheets more to compleat the Work at a Penny a sheet and a Seventh Book to Six Subscribers or as they please in further Assistances to be Given either to my self or to Mr. Salusbury at the Rising Sun in Cornhill And the Press shall be daily going on to Finish the Work And with Faith Hope and Prayer Let us if we Love the Kingdom and Appearance of Christ Humbly and Earnestly wait for the Great Revolution I Affirm of the Kingdom of Christ at 1697 to enter into its Succession and 75 Years after viz. 1772 to begin in the 1000 Years Appearance in Glory Month 11. Day 29. 1689 90. The Pattern of the Divine Temple Sanctuary and City of the New Jerusalem Measur'd according to Ezekiels Last and Greatest Vision c. 40. c. 41. c. to the End AT a day of a most Certain and exact Date when Jerusalem and its Temple lay in Ruins God shews in Vision to Ezekiel not a Model nor a Direction to any persons to Build according to it but a Building in Actual Being and therefore a Building made without Hands 2 Cor. 5. 1 Revel 21 10. Heb. 10. 11. 16. whose Builder and Maker God is Eternal in the Heavens from whence It is to come down in the New Heaven and the New Earth viz. a Temple a City that hath Foundations and a Countrey Lying about it the principal State of which is Heavenly but to shine down to the New Earth from the New Heaven Rev. 21. 24. The Preparation to the Vision 1. The Date is above the Exactness of any Record viz. By the Year of Captivity It is first dated and thereby it is Joyn'd with the Thirtieth Year in the Beginning of Ezekiel's c. 1. 1. Prophecy which being set alone without any other note of Time can in no fair Construction be any other Thirtieth Year but from the Last Jubilee according to General Jewish Style of Time and that being the Fifth year of Jehoiachins Captivity and the present year of the Vision being the Twenty Fifth year of that Captivity It shews it to be the Fiftieth c. 40. 1. year and so the year of Jubilee Fitly to Represent the Great Jubilee of the World that shall be in this Vision Accomplish'd It was on the Tenth day of the Month Answering the day of the first Institution of the Passeover when also will be the Exod. 12. 1. Dan. 12. 1. Matt. 24. 21. Rev. 3. 10. Greatest Passeover of Deliverance from the Great Trouble Tribulation and Temptation which shall come on all the Reprobate Earth but the Saints shall be privilegd'd from it It was in the Beginning of the Year or Spring on which the Greatest Acts of God are Recorded and which God E●od 12. 1. made the Head of the Sacred Year It was in the Fourteenth year after the City was 〈…〉 To shew it was in the deep Desolation of the Temple and City of Jerusalem and Land of Israel as the Season of Mercy For when his Servants are the lowest Then in the Mount the Lord will be seen Gen. 22. 14. with Ez. 40. 2. Lastly It was the Self Same Day and thereby the Time is Gen. 2. 1. c. 7. 11. 13. 2 Pet. 3. 7. 8. Knit to the self same day of the Creation and First Sabboth To the self same day of the Flood when the World that then was Perish'd by Water Answerably the Heavens and Earth that now are are Treasur'd up for Fire Even for the day when this very Vision shall come into high effect All Great Epochs 2. The Theatre of the Vision is the City Jerusalem that then lay in Ruin and the Land of Israel under Desolation whether the Prophet Ezekiel was carried by a Divine Ha●d in the Visions of God Agreeable to so Great Visions of God as will be when this Jerusalem comes down from Heaven 3. This wonderful Measurer whose Appearance was as Brass as the Feet of Jesus Christ are Represented in the Prophecy of Daniel and in the Revelation This Measurer is parallel to the wonderful Numberer call'd Palmoni in the Margin of the Bible Dan. 8. 13. Knitting both Visions 4. There is a Charge upon Ezekiel obliging all his Powers of Attention and Observation Son of Man see with thy Eyes Hear with thy Ears and set thy Heart upon All that I shew thee c. 40. v. 4. which Charge is renewed c. 44. 5. shewing how weighty and how sublime a State this Temple-Communion with God shall be 5. There is a Charge upon Ezekiel to shew to the House of Israel All that He saw c. 40. v. 40. and then c. 43. 10. to shew them the House that They may be Asham'd of their Iniquities and let Them saith the Lord Measure the Pattern And if They are Asham'd shew them All the Forms Laws and Ordinances c. of the House Now this I look upon as chiefly Prophetical of the Time when the Temple shall be Open'd in Heaven And it shall Tend to the Great Purification of the Churches of
