A27587	A chain of principles concerning the thousand years kingdom of Christ against the Seni-Sadducism of the apostasie that denyes that kingdom humbly offered by way of appeal to all Christians, especially to the pastors and doctors of the churches, that if there be error in any of the principles, or weakness in the concatenation, it may be publickly testified and convinced, for all is founded on express Scripture, compar'd and reason'd from according to Acts 17.3.

〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or afterward between the Dead in Christ Rising Incorruptible and his Saints Alive at his Coming Chang'd as the Term of its Beginning and the Living Remaining Caught up into the same Incorruption and Immortality with the Saints Rais'd First 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as the Last Term or End of the Kingdom of Christ when it is Deliver'd up The Saints therefore not Dying before the Kingdom are call'd The Living The Remaining under Guard of Life That They shall not Dye and to that purpose are also Chang'd into Bodies of Paradise * Healed by the Leaves of the Tree of Life Rev. 22.2 and yet have not put on Incorruption and Immortality nor shall doe till They are Caught up But as to the nature of their Bodies They might Dye as Adam who yet if He had not sin'd should not have Dyed And This in the Holy and wise Dispensation of God gives the space to the Kingdom of Christ before it be deliver'd up at the subduing of the Last Enemy Death Now to this Order from the Resurrection of Christ to his Coming There are set Just Notes of Time by such Words as express a Distance and an Immediateness which however they may be used sometimes indifferently yet in this order must signifie with greatest Exactness the distance of above 1700 years from Christs Resurrection to that of his Saints is couch'd under the First Afterward * 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Of a 1000 years and a little space from the Coming of Christ to the End under the second After * 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 And at the End the Immediateness of the Kingdom deliver'd up by the Third Then or at that very Time 1 Cor 15.23.24 And so 1 Thess 4.17 The same Afterward is us'd to divide betwixt the Dead in Christ Rising and the Living Saints Caught up to be Ever with the Lord. Princip 10 The Coming of Christ to Judgment is described with the Entrance of a New Heaven and a New Earth by the Apostle Peter Ep. 2. c. 3. v. 13 and His Kingdom by the Apostle John in the same manner * And Nations of the saved walking in the Light of the New Heavens and Kings of the Earth bringing their Glory Rev. 21.24 For He that sate on the Throne said Behold I create all New and John saw a New Heaven and a New Earth Rev. 21.5 And so the Saints Risen are describ'd by the Apostle to be with Christ as in the New Heaven And the Saints Living Remaining as on the New Earth are Caught up at the End to meet together in the Air in that General Assembly and Church of the First Born and at that Great Solemnity of Delivery up of the Kingdom to God and the Father and so being Ever with the Lord and where He is 1 Thess 4.17 John 17.21 c. Princip 11 The First Resurrection that Comprehends the Dead in Christ as Principals and the Living Remaining as Partakers does not Comprehend the Wicked who though They Rise indeed yet It being to Condemnation are call'd The Dead Revel 20.5 and at Last are Cast into the Lake of the second Death There can be therefore but One Resurrection joyn'd with Life of which Christ speaking Saith I am the Resurrection and the Life John 11.25 For the Dead in Christ who Rise First can Dye no more and so can Rise no more then the First Time And the Living Remaining being chang'd and not Dying are Caught up and so are Partakers of the First Resurrection to which the Second Death is only oppos'd and so Rise not But yet are found in the Lambs Book of Life by that Participation So the Second Death can have no Power over Them Rev. 20. v. 6.12.15 Princip 12 The Kingdom of Christ is not by Scripture call'd the Fifth Monarchy or Kingdom But it is most plainly declar'd by Daniel Chap. 2. and Chap. 7. to come after Four Monarchies before it But in that It makes its way by its own Power and Appearance in the Light and Glory of the Gospel The Doctrine of it if truly stared can never be suspected of Mutinies and Insurrections Nor that Brand which is so Generally Fix'd on Fifth Monarchy Men as They are call'd can at all belong to Them viz. That they are Enemies to the Higher Powers and Governments which are of God Now Allowing that whatever Scripture speaks in any Place ought to be compar'd with what It speaks in other Places so that we may Reason from the whole and Conclude as is evident Acts 17.3 we ought I even making my Boast in the Word of God and not in my self challenge All Persons Believing Scripture whether I have not prov'd That there must needs be such a 1000 years Kingdom of Christ to be Enjoyed by all his Saints by the Dead Rising first in the New Heaven and by his Saints L●ving Remaining on the New Earth and that It must be in the space between the Living Saints Chang'd when the Dead Saints Rise First and the same Living Saints Caught up and so All being ever with the Lord in the Kingdom Deliver'd up and God All in All If I have not proved these Things Scripture is Open Let Them Implead what I have said And the Lord give us Vnderstanding in All Things FINIS
