A85605	The great mysterie of God: or, The vision of the evening and the morning opened. Whereby comparing Scripture with acts of divine providence, will plainly appeare that the ruine of mysticall Babylon, and the erecting of spirituall Jerusalem are the ground of these present commotions; which are not to cease till by meanes of this present Parliament. The worke being so compleated, that Christ shall in and by his saints in tranquility reigne on earth one thousand yeares.		1645 (1645)	Wing G1713; Thomason E276_4; ESTC R209877	70,009	80

could be taken by the King of Persia as the Lord foretold by his Prophet Jeremy as yee shall see in Ieremy 50.38 so see 38. compared with Jer. 51.32 where you shall see the Lord threatning destruction unto literall Babylon with the drying up of that great river Euphrates by stopping up the passages and by burning up the reedes thereof with fire which were done by Darius who tooke this City from the King of Babylon Dan. 5.30 31. so shall this mysticall river Euphrates be dryed up in a mysticall sense By this river is meant those great multitudes of people that shall be gathered together into Armies to destroy Christ and his Witnesses and to keep the Dragon Beast and false prophet in Heaven in their seate and throne And they are said to be gathered together into a place called Armageddon by the Devil the Beast Rev. 16.16 Rev. 17.13 14. and the false prophet and with them those ten Kings which gave their power and strength to the Beast these shall all make war with the Lambe Rev. 17.4 and he shall make war with them and will raise a great Army against them who are said to be called and chosen and faithfull Rev. 12.6 The called ones are the men of the earth who are said to help Christ and his Church Rev. 17.16 and the ten hornes which were upon the Beasts head are to hate the Where and make her desolate and naked and shall eate her flesh and burne her with fire By these hornes is meant the Commons of all those ten Kingdomes which were under the government of the Beast in whom the power of States originally lies and these shall be with the Lambe and take part with him against the Beast as we see Scotland and England hath done already and so will the commons of all the other eight Kingdomes doe for the Word of God must be fulfilled But those ten Kings that were heads of those ten States they shall take part with the Dragon and make warre with Christ Secondly by chosen are meant the Saints of the most High who are said to overcome Antichrist Firstly Rev. 10.11 By the blood of the Lambe Secondly By the word of their testimony And last of all They loved not their lives unto death ☞ They willingly ingaged themselves in this great quarrell between Christ and the Beast Chosen ones will be faithfull but not the called chosen and faithfull The Lord Christ notes this of them that are chosen that they shall be faithfull to him in this war but yet he secretly hints to us that the men of the earth will be trecherous This great Army of Christ shall be raised by that little stone cut out of the Mountaine without hands by that civill power which Christ and his witnesses hath in their hands now they sit in Heaven therefore Heaven is said to be opened Rev. 19.11 that is now there is liberty given by them that sit in Heaven That now men shall take up armes against Antichrist The Lord Christ is upon a white Horse in Heaven as the Captaine of the Lords Army Josh 5.14 and the Armies which followes him is said to be in Heaven being raised by that civill power which the witnesses have in their hand in Heaven and Christ and his Army is said to be upon white Horses which note the innocency of the cause and victory over them in this quarrell it being the custome of the Romans to ride in triumph after victory upon white horses or else their Horses and Chariots covered with white Againe Zach. 14.4 the Lord Christ is said to stand upon his feet upon the Mount of Olives in the day he goes out to fight against those Kings that carried the Church and people of God captive which is meant of this very time By Mount is meant power and there be but two powers in the world the Church power and the State power It is not meant the Church power for then this mount should have been called Mount Sion by which the Church power is alwaies set forth and this Mount should have been in Jerusalem in the Church and not before the Church But this Mount is that civill power of States set forth by that Mount Olives which is before Jerusalem so this civill power is before the Church of God and chiefly for the good of the Church And upon this Mount or power doth Christ stand with his feet By feet he meanes his Saints so the Lord Christ by his Spirit in his Saints and witnesses stands this day upon this Mount Olives And this mount saith the Text shall cleave in the midst towards the East and towards the West towards the North and towards the South This is fulfilled at this day Is not this power or Mount cloven in the middle part of it is in the hands of Christ and his Witnesses as they sit in Heaven and part of it in the hands of Christ and his Army which is in Heaven upon white Horses And this power shall extend it selfe from West to East from North to South to take away the power from Antichrist in all his ten Kingdomes and to dry up that great river Euphrates from one end of the world to another and this power or Mount is to be divided one part in the high place of Judicature and the other part in the Armies as is at this day untill they have poured forth the fifth and sixth Viall and then it shall close and become one in the yeare of Christ 1655. So by that little stone even that little civill power which is in the hands of the Witnesses shall the fifth and sixth Viall be poured upon the Beast and that great River Euphrates This sixth Viall of Gods wrath and indignation Isa 34.2 is said to be poured upon Euphrates upon all Nations and his fury upon all their Armies upon all the ten Nations of Antichrist and upon all their Armies that shall be raised be will utterly destroy them Vers 5. and give them up to the slaughter The sword of the Lord shall be bathed in Heaven upon the high one● which are on high Isa 24.21 upon the Kings of the Earth upon the Earth it shall be filled with blood Isa 28.18 that the Mountains shall be melted with their blood This is called the overflowing scourge which was to passe over the whole earth and the houre of temptation that should come upon all the world to try them Rev. 3.10 Chap. 19.17 18. and the slaine shall be so many that it is called the supper of the great God and all the fowles of Heaven are to eate the flesh of Kings of Captaines of mighty men of the flesh of horses and them that sit on them and the flesh of all men Rev. 9.18 small and great bond and free Even the third part of men that are upon the Earth shall be slaine in this warre to dry up this great river Euphrates
