Again secondly for yield me but the ordinary liberty of construction and the words will run thus But when he bringeth again his only begotten into the world he saith c. Again namely in his second coming with a manifest respect to this Psalm And so very many interpret this Text in this psalm Loquitur hic inquit Ribera Com. in Heb. 1 6 de secundo Christi adventu cum ad judicandum veniet quae est secunda introductio in hunc mundum He speaketh saith Ribera in his Commentary on Heb. 1.6 of the second coming of Christ when he shall come to judge which is his second bringing into this world Primb inquit Chrysostomus introductus est Christus in Orbem per incarnationem passibilis mortalis iterum verè sive secundo gloriosus impassibilis die judicii Tunc enim filium quasi inaugurabit eumque mittet reipsâ in possessionem totius orbis terr●●um ait Cornelius à Lapide Firstly saith Chrysostome Christ was brought into the world by his Incarnation passible and mortal but again or secondly glorious and impassible at the day of Judgment For then saith Cornelius à Lapide he will as it were inthrone the Son and send him in very deed into the possession of the whole earth Yea some that deny this reading and interpretation do yet confesse the words may be extended to that dignity and dominion which God shall give the Son over the whole world in that he hath made him heire of all things and given him the uttermost parts of the earth for his possession Psal 2.8 And the learned and godly Annotators on the English Bible deny not but that the words may be understood of Christs second coming as well as his first ¶ See also Psal 97.1 Where it is to be noted that though the Psalm be without a title not only in our English Bibles but also in our Hebrew Copies yet the LXX Interpreters either doubtless had then Copies in which this title was prefixed to the Psalm or else had received it by tradition and knew that the Psalme was fitted to that time and therefore they have prefixed this title 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Psalmus David quando terraejus restituta est A Psalm of David when the earth is restored As if the whole Psalme were made and fitted to that time and truly he that will seriously reade and consider this Psalm wil see I think that time pointed at if not plainly deciphered and described Thus the Psalmist begins 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 The Lord reigneth let the Earth re●oyce let the multitude of ●sles be glad thereof which words seem clear for the reigning of Christ in his second coming for the Psalmist speaks expresly in the following words of those things that precede it a fire goes before him and burns up all his enemies round about him c. with a clear and evident reference to the A●mageddon battel and that conflagration which at that time shall burn up and consume his enemies Then to omit all other passages at the ● v he speaks plainly of the calling of the Jews or called at that time Zion heard and was glad and the daughtees of Judah re●oyced becau●e of thy Judgments O Lo●d Again v 9. for thou Lord art high above all the earth th●n art exalted far above all Gods This hath never yet been but shall then be when he shall take to himself his great power and reign and all Nations shall serve and obey him Again that is clear v. 6. All the people see his glory And v. 7. worship him all ye gods Paul to the Hebrews in the place before cited puts this out of all doubt to be fulfilled in Christs second coming Heb. 1.6 worship him all ye Angels 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 All ye Gods is rendred by the LXX 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 All ye Angels which rendring the Apostle follows and approves And thus Arnobius interprets and applies this whole Psalm ¶ So Isa 49.8 I will give thee for a Covenant of the people to establish the Earth and to cause to inherit the desolate heritages namely in a spiritual manner in the restoring the Kingdom of Israel or in the restitution of all things at Christs second coming v. 9. That thou mayest say to the Prisoners Go forth and to them that are in darkness Shew your selves viz. in the resurrection of the just And v. 10 They shall not hunger nor thirst neither shall the heat of the Sun smite them for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them even by the Springs of water shall be guide them viz. after the destruction of Antichrist All which did begin somewhat to be fulfilled in Christs first coming but because they far exceed that mean and low condition of Christ here on earth therefore they shall be perfectly and compleatly fulfilled in Christs second coming and that upon earth after the final destruction of Antichrist at the sounding of the seventh Trumpet contemporary with which are the innumerable company of white-robed palm bearing Triumphers of all Nations Kindred and People Concerning whom the very same words of the Prophet are used and that in the same sense Rev 7.16 17. They shall hunger no more nor thirst any more neither shall the Sun light on them nor any heat For the Lamb which is in the midst of them shall feed them and lead them to living Feuntains of waters and wipe away all tears from their eyes See also Zach 9.10 And I will cut off the Charet from Ephreim and the Horse from Jerusalēm and the battel-bowe shall be cut off and he shall speak p●ace unto the heathen and his dominion shall be from s●a even to sea and from the river even to the ends of the earth And chap. 13.2 And it shall come to passe in that day saith the Lord ●f Hosts that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the Land and they shall no more be remembred and also I will cause the Prophets and the unclean spirits to pass out of the Land And chap. 14.9 And the Lord shall be King over all the Earth and in that day shall be one Lord and his Name one viz in the day of the second coming of Christ I only name these Texts as being so clear and obvious that they need no Explication ¶ Also Mat 10.28 In the Regeneration when the Son of man shall sit upon the Throne of his glory ye shall sit upon Thrones judging i. e. governing the twelve Tribes of Israel Calvin understands these words de renovato Ecclesiae
