uppermost in his Kingdom upon it Mich. 4.8 And thou O Tower of the flock the strong hold of the Daughters of Sion unto thee shall it come even the first Dominion the Kingdom shall come to the Daughter of Jerusalem Isa 61.9 Their seed shall be known among the Gentiles and their off-spring among the people all that see them shall acknowledge them that they are the seed which the Lord hath blessed Zech. 8.23 In those daies ten men shall take hold out of all the languages of the Nations even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew saying We will goe with you for we have heard that God is with you And they are called Kings of the East the Greek reads it from the rising of the Sun because as some think their coming shall be from the Eastern Countries which though I do not altogether deny yet cannot I here subscribe to it as the reason why they are so called because as this interpretation adheres too much to the letter so it is evident that the Scriptures which speak of their return do as well mention their coming from other quarters as from the East and not one Scripture speaks of their coming from the East alone Isa 43 5. I will bring thy seed from the East and gather them from the West I will say to the North give up and to the South keep not back bring my Sons from far and my Daughters from the ends of the Earth Chap. 49.12 Behold these shall come from far and loe these from the North and from the West and these from the Land of Sinim Jer. 31.8 Behold I will bring them from the North Country gather them from the coasts of the earth Zech. 8.7 Thus saith the Lord of Hosts behold I will save my people from the East Country and from the West Country and I will bring them and they shall dwel in the midst of Jerusalem But rather following the Greek Kings from the rising of the Sun I take it they may be so called because then they shall come to this great preferment honor and dignity when Christ the Sun of righteousness shall arise whose rising that it shall be upon the pouring forth of this Vial before the last is poured forth shall appear hereafter Now God in his wonderful and unsearchable Providence will so order it as that at the appointed time of the Jews return the power and multitude of the Grand Signeur who is now the greatest Monarch in the world and holds their Land in possession shall be much wasted and consumed and that in such a way by such means and instruments that as the one viz. The wasting of the Great Turks Power shall set open a door for the Jews to possess their own Land so the other viz. the way means or instruments by which this shall be done shall be a special help and furtherance to their receiving of the Gospel and Christ for their true Messiah and so indeed the pouring out of this Vial upon the Great River Euphrates shall prepare a way as hath been said both for their possession of their own Land and their conversion to Christ both which to take in here is much better I conceive and more agreeable to the mind of the Holy Ghost than to limit and straiten the same to any one onely Now that the Jews are spoken of under this Vial whose conversion we are to expect before the pouring out of the seventh is clear 1 Because the Jews conversion being a thing so remarkable as nothing more and this to be in the very last ages of the world it cannot be thought that in the Vials which is a Prophetical History in short of things to be transacted in the last times the same should be wholly omitted which yet in case it be not here spoken of is 2 Because in Rev. 19. which Chapter is but a Commentary upon the two last Vials the Marriage of the Lamb to his Bride which Bride can be no other than the General Assembly of the faithful ones both of Jews and Gentiles converted to Christ among which the Jews as elder Sister are chief and therefore particularly spoken of Isa 62.4 5. and 54.4.5 6. Hos 2.19 20. is made an immediate forerunner of the battel of Armageddon as compare ver 7 8 9. with 19.20.21 with which battel the seventh Vial beginning for what is done before the pouring out of the seventh is onely a preparation to it the Conversion of the Jews or the Marriage of the Bride must necessarily be before the seventh Vial is poured forth He who desireth further light as to this Argument may at his leasure read over the 37 38 39 Chapters of Ezekiel the third of Joel and the 12 13 14 th Chapters of Zachary and by comparing Chapter with Chapter and the whole with this Prophecie may finde it 3 Because upon the pouring out of the seventh Vial a great voyce comes out of the Temple of Heaven from the Throne saying It is done What is the meaning hereof Why the phrase is but once more used in all the Revelations and that is chap 21.5 6. He that sate upon the Throne said Behold I make all things new And he said unto me it is done here it is applied to the setting up of the New Jerusalem noting the meaning of the phrase to be this Now is the New Jerusalem established and how should this be in case the Jews the primary and principal Inhabitants of this new City were yet to be converted Object If it be said the words speak not of their Conversion but onely preparing a way thereto I grant it the pouring out of this Vial doth onely prepare the way as to their Conversion to Christ which Conversion of theirs is to be for the fore-mentioned reasons in the Interval of time betwixt the sixt and seventh Vials Object Whereas it is further objected That the Conversion of the Jews cannot be until such time as the seventh Vial is poured forth because Chap 15.8 it is expresly said No man could enter into the Temple till the seven plagues of the seven Angels were fulfilled To that I answer That this doth as well exclude the Conversion of Gentiles and Pagans all the time the Vials are pouring forth as Jews and who will affirm that so long as daily experience hath and blessed be the Lord doth prove the contrary Some other interpretation must therefore be given of this Scripture to free it from such an assertion and whether doth not this suite the place well which also serves to forward the work of pouring out the Vials by putting life and courage into the Angels which are to do it to wit That the glorious and powerful presence of God in his Temple all the time the Vials should be in pouring forth which is here set forth by smoak alluding to that cloud covering the Tabernacle of old Exod. 40.34 and filling Solomons Temple 1 King 8.10 which was a sign
