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

Arg 2. If All Saints be Saints Dead in Christ Rising first or of the First Resurrection Or Saints Styled The Lrving The Remaining not Dying but Chang'd in the very Moment of that First Resurrection so putting off this Low State of Body but not immediately Caught up to Christ nor Immediately putting on the Incorruption and Immortality of the First Resurrection but Secured for it by this Change as being Partakers of the First Resurrection over Whom the Second Death shall have no power And if there be a Thousand Years between this Change at the Time of the Saints Rising first before the Time of these Living these Remaining Saints being Caught up All which Time the Saints of both Kinds Reign with Christ Then there Must be such a Thousand Years Kingdom of Christ But so all this is by plain Doctrinal and by the Prophetical Scripture of the Resurrection Compar'd Therefore there must be such a Kingdom Argum. 3. If Christ and the Saints of the First Resurrection are in the Palace of the New Heaven above as on Thrones and their Glory shining down on the New Earth below and the Saints the Living the Remaining Chang'd are in the Paradise of the New Earth below and walk in the Light of the New Jerusalem Above and so Each in this Thousand Years Reign with Christ and at the End the Saints below are Caught up Alike with the Saints Above Then there must be a Thousand Years Kingdom of Christ But so it is by the Compare of plain Doctrinal and of Prophetical Scripture in the Revelation Therefore such a Kingd must be Arg. 4. If Satan the Old Serpent bound must Lie a 1000 Years having his Head Broken by the Second Adam the Seed of the Woman and Bruised under the Feet of Saints shortly and then be Loosed for a Little space before he be Cast into the Lake which can never yet have been Then there must be a Kingdom of a Thousand Years to Christ and his Saints But so by plain Doctrinal Scripture and the Prophetical Scripture of the Revelation It must be Therefore there must be such a Kingdom of a Thousand Years Argum. 5. If the Dead Wicked Raised as at the same Time with the Saints of the First Resurrection and with the Saints chang'd and yet being Raised to Condemnation are neither counted Principals nor Partakers of the First Resurrection but the Dead still who with Death it self must be the Footstool of Christ's Feet Sitting on an Exalted Throne Above Them and as Ashes under the Soals of the Saints Feet for a Thousand Years before They are Finally after the 1000 Y. Destroyed and Cast into the Lake Then there must be such a Thousand Years Kingdom of Christ But so It must be by plain Doctrinal Scripture and by the Prophetical Scripture of the Revelation Compard Therefore such a Kingdom must be Argum 6. If the Gog-Magog in the Revelation of which Ezekiel's Prophecy is a Great Type c 38. c. 39. that stirs not for the Thousand Years of Satan bound under the Reign of Christ with his Saints against the Beloved City and Camp of the Saints but at the End of the Thousand Years makes a short Assault is no other than the Wicked Dead Rais'd and Lying at the Fotstool of Christ on his Throne for a Thousand Years then Judg'd and Cast into the Lake with Death and Hell Then there must be such a Thousand Years Kingdom of Christ But so it must needs be by plain Doctrinal and the Prophetical Scripture of the Revelation Compar'd Therefore such a Kingdom must be And thus according to both plain and Doctrinal and Prophetical Scripture The last Enemy Death shall be subdued with Satan its Prince and all its Dead and in the New Heaven and Earth flying away the Kingdom is Delivered up and God All in All. By way of Addition upon All This. Inferential Argum. If at the Reformation Beginning by Luther A. D. 1517. The Last 180 of the 1200 Years Assigned to the Tyranny of Antichrist and to the Witnesses in Sackcloth Began and so at the Ending of those 180. A.D. 1697. Daniel's Fourth Monarchy is at an End and the Kingdom of the Stone and of the Son of Man Filling the whole Earth shall Begin and the Kingdoms of this World shall be Proclaimed to be the Kingdoms of the Lord and of his Christ in order to a 75 Y. Preparation to the Glorious Kingdom of the Thousand Years Then the Time is so near that it ought to call us off from this World to a Faith in Earnest Prayer for and Preparation for this Kingdom But this hath been Argued on Great Scripture Grounds Therefore so we ought to be Affected Loving this Kingdom and Appearance of the Lord Jesus Coming Quickly AMEN Revel 20.

An ANSWER is Desired to a DISCOVRSE Annex'd Some Short Additional Remarks taking off what may seem to Weaken the former ARGUMENTS Rem 1. THE New Jerusalem Revel 21. Can neither be the State of Saints in the Highest Heavens to Eternity As Some Nor any Excellent State of the Church on Earth As Others would suppose It cannot be the State in Heaven For the New Jerusalem is first by the Apostle Paul said to be Above Galat. 4 26. and to be the Heavenly Jerusalem Heb. 12. 22. Then Three times in the Revelation It is said to Come down from God out of Heaven Not only from Heaven but from God out of Heaven Chap. 3. 12. Chap. 21. 2. and Vers 10. And upon it The Tabernacle of God is said To be with Men. Now if this were a Going up to God into Heaven the Apostle had Inverted all And what he says is a Coming down must be a Going up As if One should Look up and say Oh Earth and Look
