in Times of old on his Enemies Terror upon them Castingthem Headlong into the River Does I hope Intimate a near approaching Final Destruction And that All this is come to pass in this Year 1697. According to the Line of Time and in those Remarkable Months we Call August and September and in the very prophetic Hour of August I have so Remarked upon and so upon the Time of the Scripture Jubilee In All which I cannot but hope God hath been pleased to take off much of the Scandal of my mistake And this is the Consummating Reason of my Hope I have now dispatched the Second Head of this Apology and come to the Third Or what It is I expect when Time shall be no more but for the Finishing of the mystery of God Which I shall but just represent in the several uses the Spirit of God makes of the Word Mystery in the New Testament And shew That the Mystery of God in every of those Things shall be Finished in the Kingdom of Christ Beginning and Going on to open it self into its Fullest Glory 1. The Gospel the Comprehensive Mystery the Mystery of Faith of Godlyness The Mystery of God of the Father of Christ With All its Divine and Glorious Truths The Mysterys of the Kingdom of Heaven shall be Finished by the Full Revelation of it in the Everlasting Gospel Preached to every Nation under Heaven And particularly in that Branch Christ Received up into or rather for Glory Viz. The Glorious manifestation of Himself upon which the Apostacy hath so long layn as an Eclipse and Delay 2. The Mystery of the Union betwixt Christ and Believers in the Spiritual Marriage shall be Finished in the Bride the Lamb's Wife making her self Ready and the Marriage-Supper of the Lamb. 3. The Mystery of the Gentiles Universally brought in and illustriously united as a 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or One Body with the Israel of God And further The Eclipse taken off that is yet upon the Gentile Churches and their return to a Full orb'd Light according to the Promises made to the Churches in the Glorious Kingdom of Christ 4. The Mystery of Reconciliation Reception Salvation and Fulness of All Israel when that Full Glory of the Gentiles is Then shall be a Great Appearance of the Fulfilling All the Great promises and Prophecys we find in both the Old and New Testament to that People when the Gentiles Times are Fulfilled as was Noted a Summary Assurance of which is the very Name of that City The New Jerusalem 5. The Mystery of the Seven Churches as Seven Golden Candlesticks in the midst of which The Son of Man walks and the Seven Stars of the Evangelick Ministry seen in his Right Hand in all the Glory of each The Seven Churches as Types of the Churches of the New Testament successively with their Angels And comprehending under them Those Grecian Churches of Asia All brought into the Glory and Purity of the Philadelphian Church and the New Jerusalem the City of our God coming down into it shall then be fully Finished 6. The Mystery of the Antichristian Church City and the whole Hierarchy of it with All its Abominations shall be laid open understood of All and come to an utter end by the mighty Spirit of Christs Mouth by the Brightness of his Appearance and by the Judgments He will execute according to Rev. 17. and C. 18. On the Womans Forehead was written Mystery The Mystery of the Woman and the Beast that Carryed Her and the Judgment of the Great Whore were made known to John by the Angel and it shall be a Mystery Finished that is Laid open and brought to an utter End 7. The Mystery of the Divine will in Recapitulating and Recollecting All Things in Heaven and Earth in Christ even in Him as the Head in the fullness of Times of All Times that is in the Glorious Thousand Years-Kingdom of Christ Eph. 1. 10. 8. The Mystery of the Living Saints changed who shall Inherit the New Earth during the 1000 Years and walk in the Light of the New Heavens or Jerusalem above in the sight of Christ and of his Saints of the First Resurrection and in Bodys every way Proportioned to that Blessed State and Healed with the Leaves of the Tree of Life This the Apostle shews as a Great Mystery 1 Cor. 15. Now other then these eight Great uses of the word Mystery or what is most clearly referring to Them I do not find in Scripture and seeing the Spirit of Prophecy hath so comprehensively used the word Mystery concerning its Finishing and that each of these things is Styled Mystery in the Gospel and shall have so certain a Consummation and Complement in the Kingdom of Christ We may very well Expound the one by the other and be sure of their coming into their Finishing when Time of a former sort that is of the Time Times and Half Time shall be no more And because there are such direct assurances of the Finishing of each of these in the Prophecy of the Revelation How clear is it And now I come to the Fourth and Last Head To give the duest and justest Apology concerning no more Appearance of the Finishing of the mystery of God in All these Great mentions of it already in this Year 1697 And to adjust between the Humblest Acknowledgment of my own mis-understanding in what Hath fallen so much below and yet with equal Acknowledgment of what hath been already reflected upon to have passed as an Earnest and Pledge And wherein yet I have sure Grounds as I most Humbly conceive and believe in the sure word of Prophecy concerning 97. And hereof I will give Account in this short but yet full Declaration of my self and of my Sense herein The Year 1697. I must still look upon as I have all along Remonstrated to be the very Year in which the Time Times and Half Time of the Antichristian Apostacy and of the 1260 Years of the Witnesses in Sackcloth and of the Church in the Wilderness are to Expire and End But now whether in the Beginning of the Year 97. as I first Hoped or towards the Middle of the Year on the Twenty Third of the Month we call August Answering to the Twenty Third of the same Month 476. on which the Roman Western Empire ceased in Augustulus as I had Entertained Hopes when I found no such Appearances in the Beginning of the Year or that in and with the very Ending of the present 1697. the aforenamed Terms Expire Solomon says The Desire of a Man is his Kindness I desire with all Sense of Unworthyness to speak it The earnest desire of my Soul in Love to the Kingdom of Christ and the Hope of it deferred making my Heart even sick excited my Zeal to prefer the Times that I had any Reason to pitch upon that were nearest And this as I now find produced the mistake which I desire with All Self-Humiliation to confess before God
