You may see also from Ezekiel 38.7 8 9 10 11 12. in these words Be thou prepared and prepare for thy self thou and all thy company that are assembled unto thee be thou a guard unto them after many days thou shalt be visited in the latter years thou shalt come into the Land that is brought back from the sword and is gathered out from many people against the Mountains of Israel which have been always wast but it is brought forth out of the Nations and they shall dwell safely all of them thou shalt ascend and come like a storm thou shalt be like a Cloud to cover the Land thou and all thy bands and many people with thee thus saith the Lord It shall come to passe that at the same time shall things come into thy minde and thou shalt think an evil thought and thou shalt say I will go up into the Land of unwalled Villages I will go to them that are at rest that dwell safely all of them dwelling without wals having neither bars nor gates to take a spoyl to take a prey to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited and upon the people that are gathered out of the Nations which have gotten Cattel and Gods and that dwell in the midst of the Land Hence we may see that after Israels last and general return and their bringing their riches with them as they once did out of the Land of Aegypt that this Gog which is the great and last Antichrist as you may see for he saith it is in the latter days even in the very last before the coming of Christ as you may see Ezek. 38.16 17 18 19 20. And that he shall take the prey and spoyl Israel for a small time even until Christ deliver them is clear from the Prophet Zecharies words Zech. 14.1 2 3 4. Behold the day of the Lord cemeth and thy spoyl shall be divided in the midst of thee and I will gather all Nations against Jerusalem to battel and the Cities shall be taken and the Houses rifled and the Women ravished and half of the City shall goe into Captivity and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the City then shall the Lord go forth and fight against those Nations as when he fought in the day of Battel and his feet in that day shall stand upon the Mount of Olives which is over against Ierusalem From these Prophecies you may see that the Man that great and last Antichrist shall spoyl the Iews for a small time and take from them their City and place his Tabernacle in the glorious holy Mountain Dan. 11.45 which the Apostle Paul saith shall bee the Temple for that will be the place of his Seat or Tabernacle 2 Thess. 2.4 Much more might be said to this Particular but I hasten to the Fourth Particular in the which I shall discover the manner of the rising of the Sun of Righteousness and the gathering together of his Army and shall also prove that he is a man and so hee shall come and reign But to passe that and to the thing in hand which is the manner of his arising and the gathering of his Army The manner of the Sun of Righteousness arising and the gathering together of his Army When the full appointed time of the Father shall approach and the measure of Sin is full
or Iniquity at the height as now it is getting up a great pace by reason of a generation of ungodly men that deny that there is any God or Devil and so take liberty to prophaneness then the Lord shall send his Son even the anoynted man or the Man Christ Jesus for so he may be properly called for as man he did rise from the Dead and as man he did eat and drink with his Disciples as man hee ascended and sate at the right hand of the Father and as man shall descend and Judge the World and reign and as man he shall deliver up the Mediatorship unto the Father and be in subjection to the Father when he hath so delivered it up Luke 24.39 compare vers. 42 43. Acts 3.20 Chap. 17.31 1 Cor. 15.24 25 26 27 28. from hence you may see if you wel perusethese Scriptures that the Lord Jesus our King as he was a man and is so hee shall reign as a Man although the Man of men as wee may so say being the first born from the dead for consider him as God he cannot be sent nor appointed by any neither be in subjection unto any but being a man in whom the God-head is compleated in he is in a capacity to be sent by the Supream and Almighty Father but now to the manner of his coming to redeem Israel and restore them into their Kingdom when he is risen from the right hand of the Father he shall appear in the Clouds and shall cause the Angel to sound the Trump even the last and great Trump at the which sound all the godly that are asleep in the dust shall forth-with arise and no more for the rest of the Dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished Rev 20.5 and then all the living even such as are godly shal forthwith be changed and caught up to meet the Lord in the air but the ungodly Dead shall lye in the dust the ungodly Quick shall remain upon earth which makes good the words of our blessed Saviour Two shall be in a bed the one taken and the other left two in a field the one taken and the other left Matth. 24.31 Compare verse 40 41. 1 Thess. 4.14 15 16 17. Rev. 1.7 chap. 20.5 So when Christ hath thus raised the dead Saints and changed the living into a glorious immortal state then shall they forth-with be caught up into the Clouds and meet with the glorious Angels and so shall become that glorious Army that John saw Revel. 19.11 in these words And I saw Heaven opened and behold a white Horse and he that sate upon him was called faithful and true in Righteousness doth he judge and make war and the Armies which were in Heaven followed him upon white Horses cloathed in fine Linnen white and clean verse 14. Thus shall hee ride in great glory triumphantly in the air till he cometh over against the Mount of Olives and there shall he descend with his glorious innumerable Army that follow him and there shall he be the great King or Prince Royal of the whole World agreeing to the Prophecie of Scriptures that Prophecy concerning him Behold the Lord my God shall come and all his Saints with him and his feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives Zech. 14.4 5. When the Son of Man shall come in his glory with all his holy Angels then shall he sit in the throne of his glory Matth. 25.31 Also Enoch the seventh from Adam prophecied saying The Lord cometh with ten thousand of his Saints Jude 14. and when the Iews shall see him come in this excellent glory then shall that saying written concerning the Iews come to pass Loe this is our God we have waited for him he will save us this is the Lord we have waited for him we wil be glad and rejoyce in his Salvation Esa. 25.9 so that this wil be the voyce of them that remain in the City and as for those that are Captivated by the Man of sin they shal be redeemed out of the Land of their enemies by the Lord Jesus himself at that time shall that saying bee fulfilled that is written The redeemed of the Lord shall come to Sion with Songs and everlasting joy upon their heads they shall obtain joy and gladness and sorrow and sighing shall fly away Isa. 35.10 Chap. 51.11 So much briefly as touching the manner of the Son of Righteousness arising and the gathering of his Army and so pass to the Fifth Particular which is the ingagement of the two Armies namely the Son of Righteousness and the Man of Sin with the total overthrow of the Man of Sin upon the Mountains of Israel and the restoration of the Kingdom into Israels hands The great Warre upon the Mountains of Israel and the destruction of the last Antichrist Now as to the ingagement of the two Armies And I saw the Beast and the Kings of the earth and their Armies gathered together to make Warre against him that sate on the Horse and against his Army and the Beast was taken and with him the false Prophet that wrought Miracles before him with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the Beast and them that worshipped his Image these both were cast alive into a Lake of fire burning with brimston Rev. 19.20 21. From hence we may see the Lord Jesus Christ comes full of fury and wrath as the Prophet saith of him Behold the name of the Lord cometh from far his face is burning and the burden thereof is heavie his lips are full of indignation and his tongue as a devouring fire his breath as an over-flowing stream shall reach to the midst of the neck to sift the Nation with the five of vanity and put a bridle in their jaws causing them to erre Isa. 30.27 28. Again you see Isa. 63.1 2 3 4 5 6. Who is hee that cometh from Edom in dyed Garments from Bozra that is glorious in his apparrel travelling in the greatness of his strength I that speak in righteousness mighty to save wherefore art thou red in thine apparrel and thy garments like him that treadeth the Wine-press I have trodden the Wine-press alone and of the people there was none with me for I will tread them in mine anger and trample them in my fury and their bloud shall stain all my raiment for the day of vengeance is in mine heart and the year of my Redeemed is come I looked but there was none to help and I wondered that there was none to uphold therefore my own arm brought Salvation and my fury it upheld me for he put on Righteousness as a Brest-plate and as a Helmet of Salvation upon his head and he put on the garment of Vengeance for cloathing and was clad with Zeal as a Cloke according to their deeds accordingly hee will repay fury to his Adversaries recompence to his Enemies to the Islands he will repay recompence for it is the
year of the Lords vengeance and the year of recompence for the controversie of Sion I beheld till the Thrones were cast down and the antient of days did sit whose garment was white as Snow and the hair of his head like unto pure Wool his Throne was like the fiery flame and his Wheels like burning fire a fiery flame issued and came forth from before him thousand thousands ministred unto him and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him the Judgement was set and the Books were opened I beheld then because of the noyse and great words which the Horn spake I beheld even until the Beast was slain and his body destroyed and given to the burning flame let the Heathen be awaked and come down to the valley of Jehoshaphat for there will I sit to judge all the Heathen round about put you in the Sickle for the Harvest is ripe come get you down for the Press is full the fat over-floweth for the wickedness is great multitudes in the valley of Decision for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of Decision and the Angel thrust in his Sickle into the earth and gathered the Vine of the earth and cast it into the great Wine-press of the Wrath of God and the Wine-press was trodden without the City and bloud came out of the Wine-press even to the Horse bridles by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs Isa. 59.16 17 18. Chap. 34.8 Dan. 7.9 10 11. Joel 3.11 12 13 14. Rev. 14.19 20. From hence you may see what great slaughter the Lord will make with that great Antichrist and his Army when hee comes to try Sions Controversie Moreover see from the Prophet Ezekiel Therefore thou Son of Man Prophesie against Gog and say Thus saith the Lord behold I am against thee O Gog the chief Prince of Mesheck and Tubal I will turn thee back and leave but the sixth part of thee and will cause thee to come up from the North parts and will bring thee upon the Mountains of Israel and I will smite thy how out of thy left hand and cause thine Arrow to fall out of thy right hand thou shalt fall upon the Mountains of Israel thou and all thy Bands and the people that is with thee I will give thee unto the ravenous Birds of every sort and unto the Beast of the field to be devoured thou shalt fall upon the open field for I have spoken it saith the Lord And thou Son of Man thus saith the Lord speak unto every fethered Fowl and to every Beast of the Field assemble your selves and come gather your selves on every side to my Sacrifice that I do Sacrifice to you even a great Sacrifice upon the Mountains of Israel that you may eat flesh and drink bloud yee shall eat the flesh of the mighty and drink the bloud of the Princes of the earth of Rams of Lambs and of Goats of Bullocks all of them the fatlings of Bashan and yee shall eat fat till yee be filled and drink bloud till yee be drunken of my Sacrifice which I have Sacrificed for you Ezek. 39.1 2 3 4 5. Compare verse 17 18 19. Isa. 34.5 6. all which Scriptures and many more do shew that great destruction and total fall that the last and great Antichrist shall have upon the Mountains of Israel A word or two to shew that the Jesus the King shall restore their Kingdom into their hands even the Jews He shall stand and feed in the strength of the Lord and in the Majesty of the name of his God and they shall abide for now shall he hee great unto the ends of the earth and this man shall be our peace when the Assyrians shall come into our Land and when he shall tread in our Palaces the Lord of Hoast hath sworn saying Surely so shall it come to pass as I have purposed so shall it stand that I will break the Assyrian in my Land and upon my Mountaines tread him under foot then shall his yoke depart from off them and his burden depart from off their shoulders for the Lord will have mercy on Jacob and will yet chuse Israel and set them into their own Land and the strangers shall bee joyned with them and they shall cleave to the House of Jacob and the people shall take them and bring them to their place and the House of Israel shall possesse them in the Land of the Lord for Servants and Hand-maids and they shall take them Captives whose Captives they were and they shall rule over their Oppressors Isa. 14.1 2 3. compare 24 25. verses So we may see that it was no Childish question that Christs Disciples asked him whether he would at that time restore the Kingdom to Israel though it were a matter too inquisitive for them to ask such a question for to know the Times and Seasons but here you may see that there is an appointed time of the Father in the which it should be accomplished and indeed David was a lively Type of Christ which had no sooner dispaced the Jebusites and cast them out of Sion but he made it his own Seat and the place for his Family So likewise it will be with the Lord Jesus that no sooner shall he appear upon the Mountains of Israel but he shall destroy that last and great Jebusite or the Man of Sin or the great and last Amichrist more properly called and give it unto the Jews for a Possession that they may dwell there and have it in possession The seed also of his Servants shall inherite it and they that love his name shall dwell therein Psal. 69.35 36. so that hence I have discovered briefly that great Warre upon the Mountains of Israel with the total ruine of the last and great Antichrist and the restoration of the Kingdom into the hands of Israel and leaving of these few Scriptures for the further proof of this thing I shall passe to the Sixth Particular Isa. 33.1 2 3 4 5. Ezek. 38.18 19 20 21 22. Rev. 11.10 chap. 6.15 The glorious Reign of Christ and his Saints upon Earth a thousand years The Discovery of the glorious Reign of Christ the great King and the Saints upon the Earth and the great peace that shall be in his day Christian Friend here is that the consideration whereof is sufficient to bear up thy spirit in the worst of times it was that which made the Apostle Paul not count his life dear to him that he might finish his course with joy so that hee was contented to suffer with him because he knew he should reign with him but for the better understanding of this glorious reign I shall divide this subject into several parts The first is That Christ shall reign as King on the Earth even in Jerusalem Secondly That the Saints shall have an high Prerogative so as to reign on earth even as Christ And Thirdly I shall put these two together with some other
