preceding Lives but then they shall never hunger nor thirst any more neither shall the Sun or the heat thereof touch them for the Lamb who is in the midst of the Throne shall feed them and lead them to Fountains of Living Water and God shall wipe away all Tears from their Eyes And doth not this State belong to that place in the Revelations ch 21 and 22 And are not both States the same both that which is here and that which is there described which will be the State of such as have attained to the Resurrection before described Quest. 40. Wherefore is that number o● 148000 which is the 12000 of every Tribe of Israel distinguished from that great mul●titude as well of Iews as of other Nations who shall hereafter obtain the same kind of Reward Is it because those 14400● Rev. 14.4 are the ●●rst Fruits who will have the chiefest place in the first Resurrection of the Dead and after the first Fruits will follow a great Multitude of God's Elect of all Nations every one in his order as it shall please God to ordain it according to the determination of his infinite Wisdom for doth not Paul say positively That every one shall be raised in his own order and therefore all are not to be raised up or recall'd unto life at once even as Men now do not come into the World all at once but in a successive order one after another according to their proper Generations best of all known to God Quest. 41. Will not all the Saints of God or first Fruits Prophesyed of and all others that follow aferwards attain this first Resurrection from the Dead within the sixth Interval viz. from the Year after Christ's Resurrection 1666 to the Year 2000 And so all live compleatly 1000 Years after their first Resurrection before the end of the World the whole Age of the World containing 7000 years Whereas if any of them should be raised before the sixth Interval the end of the World would come before that Age o● a 10●0 years which they were to live which is contrary to the Scriptures And was not this Mystery prefigured by the Sabbath under the Law which began in the evening or in the latter part of the sixth day and which was also shadowed out by the Manna which was to be gathered on the sixth day but on the seventh day it was unlawful to gather any Manna Quest. 42 Who are those four Angels whom Iohn saw standing on the four corners of the Earth to whom power was given to hurt the Earth and the Sea which yet they could not do 'till that number 144000 was sealed Are they not Angels in a proper sence to whom power is given from God to execute his most Holy and Righteous Judgments on the Earth And may not those corners of the Earth peradventure signifie four parts of the World Ex. gr Asia Europe Africa and America whereof each may have his Angel And what are those four Winds or Spirits which the four Angels aforesaid withheld What are the Winds or Spirits by which Restriction the Earth was to be hurt Whether or no by these four Winds or Spirits good Angels may not be meant and by the 4 first evil Angels And thus doth it not appear that different parts of the World have their proper A●gels as well good as evil attending them one contending against another The good to benefit Men the evil to injure them even as Men have lived either well or ill And are not these good or bad Angels sent and appointed as Guardians and Governours over them CHAP. VIII QUest 43. What is to be understood by that half Hours The half Hours silence Silence and by those seven Trumpets which the seven Angels sounded successively at the opening of the seventh Seal Moreover whether or no the seventh Seal might not begin at Christ's Resurrection for otherwise would not the seven Woes and P●agues of the Trumpets happen in that most blessed Age the Sabbath of the World which is very absurd and contrary to the words of Scripture in the Revelations when as The seventh Trumpet the seventh Trumpet will bring us unto the 1000 years Reign of the Saints as is very evident from Revel chap. 11. v. 1 16 17 18 19. And will not every Trumpet have an equal and distinct Interval of time Which seven Intervals of the Trumpets and half hours silence added together do they not make up 2000 years from the Resurrection of Christ Now if it appears from the best computed Chronology that the seventh Trumpet commences at the year of Christ's Resurrection 1740 and reaches to the year 2000 after his Resurrection so as to contain the space of 260 Years and will not every one of the seven Trumpets contain the same space fo years viz 26● and so the whole time of the Trumpets will contain 1820 years which substracted from 2000 the remainder will be 180 the number of years that ought to make up the half hours silence And it was upon a good reason that Iohn said that space of silence was as it were half an hour for he did not term it a precise or just half hour for a precise or j●st mystical half hour is 166⅔ because an intire mystical hour is 333⅓ But this term of Year exceeds that precise half hour by 14 common Years which are of small moment viz. about two Minutes and a little more Quest. 44. Do not the Effects or Historical Events compleatly concur with the aforesaid Intervals of the Semihorary silence and the 7 Trumpet for if to that time of silence which lasted as it were half an hour we add 1●0 Years from Chri●●'s Resurrection which from his Nativity makes 214 may not all that time be call'd a time o● silence as to the inward State of the Church tho' she did suffer some Persecution outwardly for within that time did not the Angel offer much Incense with the Prayers of Saints as Iohn declared notwithstanding the hard Debates that arose about the year 198 between certain Bishops about the time of celebrating the Passeover for that was in a manner little or nothing in comparison of those great Calamities which afterwards invaded the very Heart of the Church And within the space of 200 Years after the Birth of Christ there was a time of great inward Peace and Tranquility among true Christians even when they were outwardly pressed with grievous Persecution and in those days there was a signal Zeal of Piety and Devotion and their Prayers flowed from the Hear● assisted by the Holy Ghost witness Ter●ulli●n who lived at that time Therefore those dead and empty Forms of P●ayer drawn from Books and appointed to be read● was not as yet known to the Church Quest. 45. What may we under●●and by the Hail † What the Hail was and Fire mixt with Blood and sent u●on the Earth at the sound of the first Trumpet Doth not the Fire
of 1000 Years after ●he ●ate of 1000 years to one Watch of the Nig●t as it is P●al 90. v. 4. each Watch consisting of thre● hours and 12 hours making ●p one intire Night or Day CHAP. XIX QUest 93. What is that multitude of People whom Iohn saw in ●eaven crying ●allelujah Salvation and Glory a●d Honor and Power to our Lo●d God Do not these signi●ie that ●ast Multi●ude which shall be Converted as well of Iews as of Gentiles over the whole Globe of the Earth under the Interval of the sixth Seal and the seventh and last Trumpet together with the Saints raised to Life again under the seventh Trumpet Therefo●e in the same hour of 2●●½ years viz. f●om the year of Christ's Nativity 1●0● to the year 2●33 or from the year of His R●●u●rec●ion 1666 to the year 2000. Will not the City Babylon be destroyed and t●e City or Church of God Glori●●●●y ●●ilt Whether or no that very hour is not that which is ●aid Rev. ● 8.● to be the hour o● Tr●al or Tem●ta●ion which sh●ll come over the whole ●arth from w●●ch● viz. f●om the Dan●●r a●d Evil of this ●our God hath p●omised to preserve t●e Church of P●●●ad●●phia aforesaid Quest. 94. What i● the Marriage of the Lamb which I●●n 〈◊〉 to come at t●e ●●me af●●●●aid And again what is that ●●pper of the L●m● to w●●ch whoso●●●r were called were Blessed v. 7 9 Do not both the Marriage and Supper of the Lamb denote the first Resurrection of the Saints unto Life among whom all Matrimony with the carnal use of it shall cease among Men and Women agreeable to Christ`s saying that in the Resurrection they neither Marry nor are given in Marriage But the Souls of the Saints are Married to the Lamb remaining in the mean time pure and chast Virgins Quest. 95. Doth it not clearly appear from chap. 18. v. 14 15. that the Army of the Lamb was to use no carnal Weapons For their Captain whom they followed Arrayed in white Garments and on white Horses will smite their Enemies with a Sword proceeding out of his Mouth And what are those white Horses which the Saints shall have Are they not pure Bodies Bodies of the first Resurrection above-cited CHAP. XXI QVest. 96. What is that Angel which Iohn sa● coming down from Heaven having the Key of the Bottomless Pit and a great Chain in his Hand who lay hold of the Dragon that old Serpent which is the Devil and Satan and bound him for a thousand Years Is not this Angel Christ But whethe● he shall descend corporally in his Glorified Body or only Spiritually I leave to be farther determined Quest. 97. Do not the 1000 Years six times mention'd in this Chapter signifie 1●00 Years properly so call'd And did not that Sabbath of Days and Y●ars made under the Law pr●●igure this Sabbath of the World to be in the seven thousandth year of it even as the six preceding thousand Years of the World were figur'd out or typified und●r the six Work-days And do not ●hese places of Scripture Psal. 90. v. 4. 2 Pet. 3. v. 8 r●late unto the mystery of 1000 Years put for a day And have not the Prophets prophesied of many great and glorious things touc●ing this ●amous time or gl●rious day of the Lord Also doth not that of Psal. 92. w●ere 't is treated of the Sabbath relate also unto that renowned tim● Moreover is not that day the same whereof Es●ias prophesied saying The Light of o●e day shall be as the Light of seven Days and the Lord alone shall be exalted and magnified in that da● B●sides also not only the more Learned among the I●ws but many also of the Fathers among the C●ristians in the Primitive Ag●s of the Church have declared and asserted their Faith and Hope concerning this Glorious Sabbath and Millennium to come wherein all t●e Saints being recalled from De●th unto Li●e shall lead a most Ble●●ed and also a most Holy L●fe upon Earth in the firm Belief and Perswasion wher●o● t●ey rejoyced and triumphed in the greatest Suff●rin●s and Dang●rs of this mortal Li●e Quest. ●8 Shall not all the Saints that ever lived ●rom the beginning of the World whethe● they w●re killed for the Testimony of God o● died ● natura● Death be raised up to live a Corpor●al Life in the fu●ure Millennium And is not this Resurrection som● part of the Saints Reward both of sma●l and gre●● according to Rev. 11. v. 13. and E●●d 20. v. 2. Quest 9● Shall not the Saints when they shall be rais●d to Life have Bodies of ●lesh not indeed su●h as Men now have but far more excellent such as was Adam's Body whilest he lived in the Earthly Paradise before the Fall and such also as was the Body of our Lord Jesus Christ before his Death which Bodies of the Saints shall at length in the end of the seventh Millennium be changed into Spiritual Bodies in which they shall ascend into H●aven to meet the Lord And did not Paul touch upon that Mystery 1 Cor. 15. saying As we have born the Imag● of the Earthly Adam viz. as he was before the Fal● we shall also bear the Image of the Heavenly now glorified in the Heavens And did not the Prophets prophesie of such a Resurrection and especially Hosea and Daniel Dan. 12. v. 2. Hos. 6. v. 2. and finally doth not Paul 1 Cor. 15. plainly describe the s●ate of a two-fold Body the first indeed natural and then after the Expiration of the Millennium and the end of the Worlds Ages is come a Spiritual Body but that is not first which is Spiritual b●t that which is Natural and then that which is Spiritual and is not that Reward one of the Promises of Christ in that Age when he shall come in the Glory ●f his Father Quest. 100. And as the Iews Sabbath began in the end or evening of ●he sixth day will not also this most blessed Sabbath o● the World begin in the end of the sixth Millennium to wit b●fore the sixth Milennium of the World is expired And seeing the whole time of this Worlds duration seems to be a Week consist●ng of 7000 Yea●s th●re woul● be no Rem●inder of Years af●er the end of the Millennium if this h●ppy Age of 1●●0 Years did not commence b●●ore the 6●00 Years were expired And that th●re is some Remaind●r of Years after the Millennium plainly appears ●rom the Revelations which Iohn calls a little Season Rev. 20 v. 3. Now wh●ther or no that little Season may not contain 260 Years making that most happy Age of the World to begin about t●e year of the World 5740 and of Christ's Resurrection 1●4● I leave to be determined by ●ny on● to w●om God shall vouchsafe to open these things by a purer Chronology Quest. 101. How shall the Saints be raised up again to live a Corporeal Life on Earth seeing Matrimony and carnal Conjunction of Male and Female shall cease whether all
King 11. Athalia reigned 6 Years 2 King 12. Ioas reigned 40 Years 2 King 14. Amazias reigned 29 Years 2 King 15. Azarias reigned 52 Years 2 King 15. Ioathan reigned 16 Years 2 King 16. Achaz reigned 16 Years 2 King 18. Ezechias reigned 29 Years 2 King 21. Manasses reigned 55 Years 2 King 21. Amon reigned 2 Years 2 King 22. Iosias reigned 31 Years 2 King 23. Ioathas reigned 00 Years 2 King 23. Ioach●m ●eigned 11 Years 2 Kin. 24. Zehoja●hin reigned 3 Mon. Years 418 Note also that the Captivity must be reckoned 70 Years from Zehojathin but not from Zedekia as appears from the Epistle of Ier●miah ch 29.10 But if according to others the Captivity of 70 Years be computed from the third year of the Reign of Ioachim according to that of Dan. 1●1 the fifth Period from the foundation of the Temple unto the Babylonian Captivity will contain only 410 and therefore that the number of Years from the Creation of the World to the Captivity may be 3440 there must be 37 Years added to Cainan in the second Period So that 't is all one whether the Captivity be reckon'd from the third Year of Ioachims Reign or after the eleventh Lastly 't is to be observ'd that the truth of this Period is proved from the Fourth Chapter of Ezekiel ● for those 390 Days signifie 390 Years from the time Ieroboam erected the Golden Calf to the Destruction o● Ierusalem therefore 36 Years of Solomon's Reign are deducted and two of Rehoboam's Reign To which 10 Years of Zedekia`s Reign unto the Destruction of Ierusalem being added the whole amounts to the number of Years 390 Lastly the sixth Period of 556 years and an half is proved for the Captivity lasted 70 Years and from the end of 70 years viz. of Daniel's Weeks 3 years and an half being deducted there are to be accounted 486½ Years when Cyrus publish'd an Edict for the rebuilding of the Temple 556½ Observe how exceedingly they wander from the Truth who contend that the 70 Weeks of Daniel are not to be reckon'd from the Edict of Cyrus and suppose the beginning of the said Weeks to be long since Cyrus`s Time forsaking the Truth of Scripture and giving credit to heathenish Historians and so indeed they abandon the Holy Scripture as tho` it were a maim'd and imperfect thing which true Christians and such as are studious of the Scripture should not do Admit it be according to them who follow the Historical falshood of the Heathens that Daniel's 70 Weeks were long since● Cyrus that is as they will have it 70 Years after the end of the Captivity to wit by their computation in the second Year of Darius Longimanus after this rate there will be 560 Years from the end of the Babylonian Captivity to the Death of Christ but this doth in a wonderful manner contradict Esdras in that he saith ten parts and ½ of the World are elapsed from the Creation to the Death and Resurrection of Christ. For suppose that there were 560 Years 1 21 and ½ of 1 12 from Adam to the Death of Christ all the twelve parts taken together would make up 4480 Years which far exceeds the years feigned by the followers of the Heathenish History 89. Now from the foremention'd Chronology the years from the beginning of the World to the Babylonian Captivity are 3440 as it is inserted in the Margin to which if 2300 be added those Years which the Angel spoke of to Daniel Dan. 8.14 prophe●ically signified by Days make up the number of 5740 Years which being complea●ed the Sanctuary shall be purged that is that happy Millenium of the Sabbath shall begin and then adding to it the aforesaid Millenium and 260 Years more thereof comes the sum of 7000 Years which makes up the intire age of the whole World from the Creation of Adam to the End Now the said 260 Years is that little time mentioned by Iohn in the Revelations Chap. 20. which commences after the expiration of the Millenium and therefore that Sabbatick Millenium begins 260 Years before the end of the Sixth Millenium of the World 90. And ●o indeed the whole age or time of the Sabbatick Happiness comprehends 1260 Years even as much as the Kingdom of Babylon and Antichrist contained that the Day of Christ`s glorious Reign upon Earth may be equal to the Reign of Antichrist in his base and filthy Kingdom of Darkness And either Period contains three years and an half that is seven years taken together which answers to the seven last years that Iacob served Laban 91. And indeed that whole time that Iacob served Laban making about twenty years elegantly divides the whole age of the World into its distinct P●riods by a marvellous Analogy for as 360 makes up one mystical and prophetical Year so 7●00 makes up 19 Y●ars 5 Months and 10 Days that is in a manner 20 Years but such is the Analogy The first seven years of Iacob`s Service extend from the beginning of the World to Israel's departure out of Aegypt now the Time of Iacob`s Marriage with Leah signifies that time wherein the Lord engaged the Childr●n of Israel to himself by the outward Law and the ●our Sons of his Wife Leah Ruben Simeon Levi Iuda extend from the Law to Christ's Incarnation who was to spring out of Iuda Lastly the Children of the Concubines signifie the Gentiles who were to believe in Christ in the days of the Apostles even almost until the end of the Babylonian Apostacy And Rachel's Barrenness signifies the Iewish Church which during all that long space was as it were barren● in the Christian Faith which Rachel was af●erwards to bring forth Ioseph whose time certainly reaches to the Sabbatick Millenium but the Birth o● B●njamin being last of all apparently signifies the Apostle Paul who was of the Tribe of Ben●amin with other Saints who were last o● all to come into the World to wit about the year of the World 6000 and shou`d remain in the World even till the coming of Christ from Heaven And ●inally the death of Rachel and the departure of Iac●b and his Sons out of Padan Aram into his own Count●y signifies the end of the World and the ascension of the Saints from Earth into the Heavenly Country in glorified Bodies all this is confirmed from Gen. 49. from vers 1. to the 28. 92. But that little time aforesaid of 260 years in which begins the Sabbatick Millenium within the sixth Millenium of the World to wit at the year 5740. was prefigur'd under the Law by the Sabbath which began in the Evening of the sixth Day wherefore those 260 years are as it were in the evening of the sixth day that is the sixth Millenium of the World 93. Moreover it is clearly demonstrated ●rom the Words of Osea when that most blessed and truly Golden Age of the Sabbatick Millenium shall begin Os. Ch. 6. v. 2. after two days
