A27581 An appeal most humble yet most earnestly by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together unto him, even adjuring the consideration of the most contrary minded who love his appearing concerning the Scripture on due compare, speaking expresly, or word for word : of the thousand years state of the saints, the dead raised first, and of the living, the remaining chang'd in it : and of the wicked-dead-raised, the Gog Magog under it / by T.B. Beverley, Thomas. 1691 (1691) Wing B2121; ESTC R31270 16,373 16

the very date of this Time is when the We of All of Saints the Living the Remaining are caught up to Christ into a like State with the Saints raised First with Him in the Clouds and so put on Absolute Immortality and Incorruption Then the Triumphal Song over Dearh is sung and so All Saints are ever with the Lord in the Clouds or Air of the New Heaven and in the Kingdom deliver'd up to God All in All. 1 Cor. 15. 51. c. 1 Thess 4. 13. The Occasion of the Great Mistake in this matier is that the Changing and the being caught up are not distinguish'd The changing into Bodies of Paradise or of a Participation of the First Resurrection is indeed at the same Moment with the Saints rising First There is an Epita an Afterward of a 1000 Years before They are caught up According to this The Enemies of Christ as the Footstool of his Feet Bear up the State of his Sitting on the Throne for the 1000 Years viz. Sathan Chain'd Bonnd Imprison'd and Seal'd up The Wicked as Gog Magog in such an Infinite Number Exil'd in the Four corners of the New Earth Appear but cannot stir against the Beloved City and Camp of the Saints for the 1000 Years Death as not cast into the Lake hath an Appearance and a possibility of Action in that the Living Remaining Saints in having but a part and not the Full yet in the First Resurrection have not put on Immortality and Incorruption yet so Heal'd with the Leaves of the Tree of Life They shall not dye Death cannot Fasten though It shews its Fangs When Christ does as it were Take off his Feet from his Footstool from all his Three Enemies in order to Give up the Kingdom They Every one Rise as into Action Sathan the Prince the Gog Magog the Dead under Him viz. Condemn'd and so in the State of Death and Death and Hell under their Prince All these move to their utmost Activity against the Holy City but as in Anticipation to the Lake or a present Description of it Fire comes down from Heaven Sathan long ago Condemn'd is without any New Judgment cast into the Lake The Judgment of Gog Magog the Dead from all the Receptacles of Death is Recollected and Ratified in their being All Judg d And Death and Hell are cast into the Lake with Them This is the Final Catargests destroying and putting All the Enemies of Christ that had been his Footstool the 1000 Y. quite Below under his Feet The Conclusive Argument from the Compare of Doctrinal and Prophetical Scripture That Gog Magog are the wicked dead rais'd is this According to all Scripture the Wicked are Rais'd with the Servants of Christ all at a Time The Resurrection is yet peculiar to the Saints Because the Wicked are Rais'd to Condemnation and so to Death All Vngodly Men whether Dead before or Found Alive at Christ's Coming are under the Perdition of the Fire of the Day of Judgment and of Christ's coming according to the Apostle Peter Ep. 2. c. 37. according to the Apostle Paul 2 Thess 1. 8. and so There are none The Living The Remaining but Saints Then according to Prophecy whatever is not Partaker of the First Resurrection to which nothing is Second but the Second death must be under that Second Death Beginning with that very First Resurrection so the Wicked dead rais'd not partaking of that First Resurrection Immediately Begin to have their part in the Lake which is the Second death though not cast into it Revel 21. 8. as the Living Saints in the First Resurrection though not caught up into it Gog Magog then call'd the Nations and in so vast a Number as the Sand of the Sea must be the Dead having their part though not the full in the Lake For there are no Earth none else but the Nations of the saved But Gog does not for the 1000 Years Annoy the Holy City being Exil'd in the Four corners even as the Wine-press is Trod 1600 Furlongs without the Holy City or Camp shewing the Four square Vengenance Issuing from the Four square Holy City on the Wicked without it The Saints above Equal to Angels with the Lamb Behold their Torment and are Satisfied with their Flesh viz. Rejoyce in the Vengeance The Saints below as it were Burying Gog Ez. 39. 11 12. in Israel nigh the Holy City go out to Behold their Carcases For without are Those Dogs Going round about this City Esay 66. 24. Psal 59 14. Rev. 14. 20. c. 22. 15. Concerning the Gog Magog as the Dead Rais'd to Comdemnation I have this Remarquable to Add that when at the Final Doom They are said to stand before God Rev. 20. 21. The Earth is not said to Give up any Dead The Sea had as Grotius and Piscator Render it Given up its Dead long before viz. at the Beginning of the 1000 Years when as hath been prov'd the New Heaven and New Earth entred and There was no more Sea Why then does not the Earth give up its Dead as well as the Sea viz. Because the Sea giving up its Dead wh●● the Old Earth Burnt became in its Four corners The Common Death or State of the Dead and the Hades or Hell of Them So Hades or Hell and Death Alone Give● up the Dead and are cast with Them into the Lake This Assures Earth is not meant by Death and Hades except the Old as Burnt and Becoming the Seat of the Dead and so cast into one Common Lake For when Gog came on the New Earth to Cover it Fire from Heaven then Rescued that Earth and devour'd Them So Death and Hades or Hell had all the Dead for the Sea had before Given up its Dead to that Hades Death and Hell which is the Hamon Gog or Hammonah of Gog Magog Slain and Buried in Israel viz. without the Gate and Camp of the Holy City as Malefactors of Old Sathan for whom the Lake was first prepar'd is cast into it without the Formality of a Judgment as to his own place The Dead on whom the Judgment was at the 1000 Years Begun is at their end Compleated The New Jerusalem Seated in the New Heaven and New Earth upon their Flying Re-Ascends to God from whom it Descended So the Kingdom is deliver'd up to God All in All and the Saints are for ever with the Lord with God in Christ THE END A SUMMARY Of Arguments for the 1000 Y. Kingdom By T. B. Argument 1. IF the New Heaven and the New Earth be a Palace for Christ the King of Glory and for his Saints in Glory with Him Beginning with the Thousand Years and Flying away within a Little space after They are Ended when the Kingdom is Delivered up and the New Jerusalem Re-ascends to God Then there must be such a Thousand Years Kingdom But so It is by plain Doctrinal and by the Prophetical Scriptures of the Revlation compared Therefore There must be such a Kingdom
14. Dan. 12. 2. John 5. 29. Acts 24. 15. Mat. 25. 31. 2 Cor. 5. 10. Revel 11 18. And according to my Judgment when by the Sixth Voice Rev 14. 18. For there had been Five before it The Earth is Reap'd by Him that had on his Head the Golden Crown in the Raising the Dead Saints and Changing the Living In the Seventh Voice by which Seven Voices in that Chap. I understand the Seven Thunders open'd the Clusters of the Vine of the Earth are Gather'd and Thrown into the Wine-press of the Wrath of God that is The Wicked are Raised to Condemnation and to Everlasting punishment which by Comparing Rev. 16. 14. and c. 19. 10. 15. is done at the Battel of Armageddon when Christ with the Armies of Heaven viz. the Raised Saints on White Horses in Linnen White and Clean expressing the Purity of Spiritual Bodies of the Resurrection Following Him in Righteousness Judgeth and maketh War on all the Wicked and Treadeth the Wine-press of the Wrath of God into which They are cast And yet Because the Wicked Rise thus to Shame and to Contempt and to this Everlasting Punishment their Resurrection is Counted as no Resurrection neither in Doctrinal nor in Prophetic Scripture The Resurrection Absolutely spoken of is by our Lord styl'd The Resurrection of the Just Luke 14 14. and c. 20. 36. The Children of God are only Accounted the Children of the Resurrection The Apostle Paul in those Two Great Discourses of the Resurrection 1 Cor. 15. and 1 Thess 4. 13. so Frames the Doctrine of it as to Apply it only to the Saints who are Christs at his Coming and to the We All of the Saints Changed v. 23. v. 51. 52. and to Those whose who Sleep in or through Jesus Rising first and to the Living the Remaining who are Chang d in the same Moment with the Saints Rais'd afterward viz. the 1000 Years after Caught up to Them and into a Like State with Them 1 Thess 4. 13. c. and so the Apostle Leaves the Wicked wholly out in Both. Agreeably Prophecy as if They were not Rais'd calls the Remnant Slain with the Sword of Him that Sat on the Horse Rev. 19. 21. as in that very word the Rest or Remnant and in the same Sense with Slain of the Dead c. 20 5. viz. The Remnant or Rest because not cast into the Lake as the Beast and False Prophet but only Slain The Dead because Slain and neither Saints of the First Resurrection nor Saints Partakers of it Both which Lived and Reigned with Christ a 1000 Years But the Dead Lived not for the 1000 Years that the Saints Reigned and yet to shew They were an Appendage to the First Resurrection as Rais'd though but to Death till They were nam'd It is not said This is the First Resurrection Then it is and They are set in the middle of both sorts of Saints What Greater Evidence can there be of the 1000 Years Kingdom then the plain Scriptures Leaving the Wicked out of the High Discourses of the Resurrection and Prophecy in Agreement calling them the Dead as neither Principals nor Partakers of the First Resurrection but Assigning one and the same 1000 Years to the State of the Principals to the State of the Dead not Living and to the Partakers in the First Resurrection and the Reign with Christ Concurrent with it Argum. 6. If Gog and Magog can by Scripture be Cleared to be these very Dead slain with the Sword of Christ's Mouth and so in the State of the Dead the 1000 Years and then making their last Attempt and so cast into the Lake This will still Compleat the proof of the 1000 Years Kingdom But there will be Found a Cloud of both Witnesses Prophetical and Doctrinal Scripture Probabilities and one Great Proof of Scripture Doctrinal and Prophetical Compar'd that will conclude it must be so Let then the Scripture Correspondencies both Prophetical first to which this Figure first belongs and then the Doctrinal be just nam'd as Probabilities and then the more conclusive Argument weigh'd The First Rudiments of this Image are Found in Ezekiel which whatever Litteral Sense it may have serves this Apocalyptical Image with these Great Correspondencies 1. Gog Magog is a Confluence of Nations 2. They Appear in Battel 3. They come up against a People Rescued from the Sword and of Vnwall d Villages 4. The Vengeance and Fury of God comes up as in his Face upon Them 5. Their Death and Graves are made most Monumental Ezek. c. 38. c 39. Proportionably in the Revelation Although Their Name is Conceal'd in the First Yet I lay their Appearance both in the Battle of Armageddon c. 6. 14. c. and in this Battle wherein They are named c. 20. 8 c. and so first they are a confluence of Nations the Kings and the whole World c. 16. Kings Captains Great Small c. 19. 18. c. Gather'd under the Beast and False Prophet Both and under the Dragon by Spirits of Devils c. 16. But when the Beast and False Prophet were cast into the Lake c. 19. They are Rallied under the Dragon Sathan only c. 20. and their Number to shew their Confluence is as the Sand of the Sea Their City being a Hammonah as Ezek. 39. 16. 2. Their Appearing in Battle is plain and it is their Appearance under the mighty Efficacy of Spirits of Devils or Sathan in all their Malice against the Divine Kingdom 3. They come against the Kings of the East viz. as I understand the Saints the Living the Remaining Rescued from the Sword of Him that sat on the Horse and on Vnwalled Cities viz. these Saints before the New Jerusalem came down and now again after the 1000 Years when the New Jerusalems Glory as Walls and Bulwarks of Salvation was Retir'd 4. The Vengeance of God is alike describ'd every where Ezek. 38. 21. c. Sword Fire and Hail Rev. c. 16. c 19. Fire c. 20. 5. 9. As their Graves in their Hamon-Gog and Hammonah are Ezek. 39. so Their being Slain call d the Dead cast into the Lake is in the Revelation The Correspondencies of Doctrinal and Prophetic Scripture Inducing a probability that Gog Magog are the Wicked rais d are that there is a distance of Time between the Enemies of Christ being made his Footstool and their being Finally destroy'd The Man of sin made up of the Beast and False Praphet 2 Thess 2. 3. Rev 17. 8. 11. c. 19. 21 goes first into Perdition and is cast into the Lake at Christ's very Appearance no Antichristian Church or Kingdom being any more possible But the Three other Great Enemies of Christ Sathan Wicked Men Hell and Death are first the Footstool of Christ according to Psal 110. Heb. 1 13. c. 10. 13. All Rule Authority and Power are not Finally destroy'd or under the Catargesis till the very End Death is the Last Enemy so destroyed just before the Kingdom Given up 1 Cor. 15. 24 26. And
