or rather some other Elias of the Rabbins because it is not found in the sacred Scriptures but in the Thalmud of the Iewes hath set downe his opinion thus Sex millia annorum mundus durabit deinde conflagratio that is The world shall continue sixe thousand yeeres and then burning makes an end of it And because of sinnes which shall be many and great some yeeres shall be wanting Irenaeus the Martyr was of the same mind these are his wordes Quot diebus factus est hic mundus tot millenarijs consummabitur nam mille anni apud Dominum quasi dies vnus Psal 90. and 2. Pet. 3.8 Now all things were finished perfectly in sixe dayes and the seuenth day was a time of rest Therefore the consummation of all those things shall be in the seuen thousandth yere the perpetuall Sabbath the euerlasting rest This is their fallible collection and conclusion altogether repugnant to the Scriptures The greatest reason or rather shew of reason that made Elias and Ireneus and their followers to erre was for that they vpon these words A thousand yeeres are with the Lord as one day doe say that the world was made in sixe dayes and the seuenth day was a day of rest therefore the world shal stand and continue sixe thousand yeeres and in the seuenth thousand shall be the consummation and end of all In very deed I must needs confesse that these men were learned But Bernardus non vidit omnia neither these men for in my opinion herein they were deceiued in that they thought that in eternall life in the world to come with God were spaces of times yeeres dayes and houres as well as with men in this mortall life which is not true for in heauen I meane not the aereum Coelum ayrie heauen conteining the space from vs vnto the Firmament nor coelum coelatum the engrauen heauen which I so call because it is as it were ingrauen and enameled with glorious lights the Sunne the Moone and the Starres but the heauen which is called of the Philosopher Empyreum but by Diuines in Scripture the glorious Heauen of heauens or Heauen aboue the visible heauens wherein is our Sauiour the Angels and glorified Saints In this are no spaces nor seasons of yeeres dayes moneths houres or other times which thus I proue because there is no Sun nor Moone nor Stars nor no vse need nor necessitie of any of them For the claritie and brightnesse of the Lord shineth there There is no night no Clockes nor Dyals nor Watches How then is it possible for a man to know the spaces of times there Wherefore in the life to come a thousand yeeres are as one day and one day as a thousand yeeres The Psalmist therefore well said A thousand yeeres in thy sight are but as yesterday Psal 90.4 seeing that is past as a watch in the night Againe there is so much ioy in heauen that for the greatnesse and pleasantnesse thereof a thousand yeeres seeme to be but one day But in no wise can it be hereby gathered that because in sixe dayes the world was made and in the seuenth was rest that therefore the world shall continue sixe thousand yeeres and in the seuenth shall be a perpetuall rest and Sabboth and an end of all and so a certaine time knowne Besides the maintainers of the opinion abouesaid there are others which haue taken vpon them to ghesse at the yeere when there should be an end of all things In this number are they which thought that the end of the world shall be in the yeere from Christs birth 1656. because there were so many yeeres from the creation of Adam vnto the Flood and the rather they haue so supposed because our Sauiour and Saint Peter doe compare the times of the Floud Mat. 24. 2.
