A14107	The figure of Antichrist with the tokens of the end of the world, most plainly disciphered by a Catholike and diuine exposition of the seconde epistle of Paul to the Thessalonians, collected out of the best and most approued diuines, both olde and new, very profitable for all men in this age to reade: published by Thomas Tymme, minister.

in this world do oppresse the good and godly and doe make them liue in exile and banishment by persecutions should suffer the same thinges themselues in time to come which they do to others and that they should be in rest with other saints who coÌ„ming out of great tribulation shal receiue an eternal kingdom Thus the Apostle toucheth the vengeance of god against the reprobate to teach them that the faithfull doe rest in the expectation of the iudgment to come because God doth not as yet take vengeance on the euil who notwithstanding must needes suffer the punishment of their wickednesse Withall notwithstanding the faithfull doe vnderstand that there is no cause why they should enuy the momentany and transitory felicitie of the wicked which soone after shal be changed turned into horrible and most fearful distruction 7 And to you which are troubled rest with vs when the Lorde Iesus shal shew himselfe from heauen with his mightie angels As it is agreeing with the iustice of God to repay vnto wicked and vngodly men condigne punishments so also it is agreeing with the same Iustice to giue vnto godly and righteous men the rest and consolation of eternal life Great therfore shal be the miserie and vnhappines of al the wicked and most excellent shal be the feliâ—â—â—ie and blessednes of the godly The Aâ—ostle hath opposed rest against the tormeÌ„t â—f tribulation in the which the godly are â—xercised in this world without intermission For wheÌ„ we shal depart from this life all labour and sorrow shal cease and rest ioy shall follow in steed thereof Apoc. 21.4 For God shall wipe away al teares from the eyes of his saints This then agreeth with the senteÌ„ce of Peter where he calleth the day of the last iudgment the day of rest Notwithstanding in this declaration of the good and of the euil the purpose of the Apostle was to expresse more plainly how preposterous vniust the gouerment of the world should be if God did not defer the punishments rewards vntil another iudgment Hereunto also tendeth that which was said vnto Diues Luk. 16.25 Sonne remember that thou in thy life past enioyedst thy pleasure but contrariwise Lazarus enioyed paine but now is he coÌ„forted and thou art tormented The Apostle addeth With vs. That he might bring the more credit to his doctrine by the sence feeling of his owne faith For he sheweth that he doth not speake of vnknowne things when as he placeth him selfe with them in the same cause and condition And we knowe that they doe deserue to be best regarded which are exercised by longe practise in those things which they teach and doe require nothing of others but that they be ready to proue and try Therefore the Apostle doth not commaund the Thessalonians to fight as it were in a shadow but fighting valiantly him selfe he exhorteth them to the same warre and fight When the Lorde Iesus shall shewe him selfe This is a figure called Occupatio or preuention which the Apostle vseth that the Thessalonians might not be carefull concerning the time wherein the wicked persecutors shal be afflicted with punishments and the godly which are afflicted shall receiue rest The time shal be the comming of Christ to iudgment or the time of iudgment For the Lord shall come a iudge but from whence From Heauen That is to say from the habitacle of God which is perpetuall wherein is the glorie of the inuisible God and the light whereunto no man can attaine seeing it is a spirituall firmament in the which dwelleth sempeternall righteousnesse From thence therefore doe we look for our Lord sauiour Iesus Christ who shall chang our vile bodie that it may be like to his most glorious body Philip. 3.21 But this Iudgment shal not be before the consummatioÌ„ of al things For til that consuÌ„mation be the Lord Iesus shall not be reuealed from heauen as appeareth by many testimonies of Scriptures For because one shall iudge all it must needes be in that last iudgment which shal be in the end of the world where he shall repay to euery one according to his deedes Christ therfore will shut vp and reserue the times of this present world against the time of his iudgment in the latter day But when this iudgment shal be it is vncertaine Wherfore the Lord Iesus himselfe doth testifie that the moments of times of this iudgement and of the glorie of Christ to come ought not to be curiously searched for neither yet that they can be knowne aforehand Act. 1.7 It is not saith he for you to know the times and seasons which the father hath reserued to himselfe And in another place Mar. 13.32 Concerning that day and houre knoweth no man neither the Angels which are in heauen nor the Sonne but the father onely And the Apostle saith 1. Thes 5.2 2. Pet. 3.10 That the day of the Lord shall come as a theefe in the night And yet for all this some foolish men haue gone about of late time to prognosticate of this day yea and almost of the very houre of the day With his mightie Angels These words do describe and set foorth the forme and manner of the comming of Christ to iudgment As if he should say the most righteous iudge shall not now any more come from heauen in humilitie and contempt as he did at his first comming in our flesh but inuironed with an Angelical bande For it is written Thousand thousands ministred vnto him Dan. 7.10 ten thousaÌ„d thousaÌ„ds stood before him As therfore a puisant and mightie King hauing a huge hoast of picte and chosen men marcheth forward against his enimie euen so the Lord Iesus himselfe shall vse the ministerie of Angels in suppressing and vanquishing the wicked and in deliuering the godly And for this cause the Apostle calleth them mightie Angels because by them and in their ministerie the Lord wil shew foorth his power and might Whose force no creature is able to resist whose iudgment must necessarily of all men be endured and by whose sentence the wicked shal be assuredly condemned and eternally punished 8 With a flame of fire rendering vengeance vnto them who haue not knowen God and which obey not the Gospell of our Lord Iesus Christ The present description of the iudgment tendeth to this end that the Godly may vnderstand that by how much the more feareful the iudgment is which remaineth for their enemies by so much more the Lord hath a care of their afflictions For this is the chiefe cause of our greefe and sorrow that we thinke that God doth slightly ouerpasse our miseries We doe see into what complaints Dauid bursteth foorth now and then Psal 37.2 when he fretteth at the pride and insolencie of his enimies Therefore the Apostle hath vttered all this here for the consolation of the faithfull that he discribeth the tribunall and iudgment of Christ to be full of

horror The like description of the comming of Christ is set downe by the prophet Esay Esay 66.15 Behold the Lord will come with fire and his charriots like a whirle winde that he may recompence his anger with wrath and his indignation with the flame of fire c. The Lorde Iesus to be reuealed from heauen with Angels of might in the flame of fire signifieth that the Lorde Iesus shall come to iudgment with great power and maiestie in fire Mat. 24.30 For they shall see the sonne of man come in the cloudes of heauen with power and great glorie Gen. 7.21 2. Pet. 3.7 God hath once already destroyed the world with water the second time he will destroy it with fire But what manner of fire that shal be and of what matter coÌ„pounded I leaue it to be disputed of by such meÌ„ as are foolishly curious It shal be sufficient for vs only to note this that Paules purpose was to teach that Christ will be a seuere reuenger of all those iniuries which the reprobate do vnto vs For the metaphor of flame and of fire is very common in the Scriptures where the wrath of the Lord is intended Rendring vengeance vnto them which do not knowe God Now it followeth to shew what the Lord Iesus will doe when he is reuealed from heauen with angels of his might in the flame of fire namely he wil take vengeance of the wicked and vpon such as know not God that is to say he will plague them in his wrath which wold not know God but following the world and seeking for worldly things neglected the commaundements of God And which obey not the Gospell By these two titles he noteth the vnbeleeuing who knowe not God nor obey the Gospel of Christ For if men do beleue the Gospell through faith Rom. 1.5 and .16.26 vnbeleefe is the cause of resisting the Gospell He condemneth them also of the ignorance of God For the liuely knowledge of God doth beget of it selfe reuerence but incredulitie is alwayes blind Not that the vnbeleuing are altogether void of light vnderstanding but because they haue their minds so darkned that in seeing they cannot see Esay 6.9 Our sauiour Christ doth not without cause pronounce that this is eternal life Ioh. 17.3 to know the true God and Iesus Christ whom he hath sent Therefore of the defect of this most holesome knowledge followeth the contempt of God and at the last death And as it is the office of Christ one day to punish those which haue not knowne God so also it is his office to reward those which haue knowne God and which haue obeyed the Gospell of Christ 9 Which shal be punished with euerlasting perdition from the presence of the Lorde and from the glorie of his power These words appertaine to the amplification of those punishments which persecutors and al the wicked in general shall one day feele that no man might thinke that they shal be light or easie or of some small continuance For he saith that the perdition shal be eternal that is without end a death immortall To the which saying of the Apostle agreeth also the sentence of Christ in his sermons where he saith that the torments of the wicked shal be perpetuall Mat. 25.46 euen as the felicitie of the righteous shal be euerlasting so that the reprobate shall go into eternall torment and paine Mar. 9.44 and the elect into euerlasting life And their woorme shall not die and their fire shall not be extinguished Therefore the wicked shall susteine the punishments of destruction for euer alwayes feeling them and neuer ceasing insomuch that the very punishment it selfe shal after a sorte as it were reuiue them to the end they may alwayes be consumed From the presence of the Lorde The perpetuity of death is proued hereby that it hath the glorie of Christ contrarie vnto it the which glorie is eternall and hath no ende Thereupon the horror of the terrible punishment may be gathered because looke how great the glorie and maiestie of Christ is so great shall their torment be Therefore al they doe deceiue and are deceiued themselues which doe promise after a certaine time a deliuerance from the torments of hell fire at which time Origens Error as Origen also thought the wicked and the diuels themselues shal be pardoned but how falsely and wickedly it doth hereby appeare And from the glorie of his power With the which power he shall come to iudge the quicke and the dead He alludeth to the forme of the comming of Christ to iudgment and to his might and power before the which the wicked shall not be able to stand By these woords also he sheweth how easie a matter it is for God to bring torment vpon the wicked For the Rebellious and obstinate shal be tormented with the terror onely of his countenance And contrariwise the presence of God shall bring to the saintes felicitie and glorie For he shall come with glorie and with power insomuch that neither his glorie shall want power neither shall hiâ— presence and power be without glorie 10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints and to be made maruelous in al theÌ„ that beleeue because our testimony toward you was beleued in that day The Apostle hauing hitherto spoken of the punishment of the Reprobate returneth to the godly and saith that Christ shal come that he may be glorified in them that is to say that he may make them to shine with his glorie As if he should say when Christ shall come to punish the impietie of the wicked he wil then also shew himselfe glorious to the saints and will make their vile and corruptible bodies like to his most glorious body Philip. 3.21 Therefore he will not keepe this glorie to himselfe alone but will make the same common to al his saints This is the great and singular consolation of the godly that when the sonne of God shal be made manifest in the glorie of his kingdome he shall gather them into the same societie with him And there is in these words an Antithesis or Comparison between the present state vnder the which the faithfull doe labour and groane and that last restitution For now they are laid open to the reproches of the world they are counted vile and of no estimation but then they shal be precious and replenished with glory when Christ shall power his glorie vpon them Therefore to all the godly and saintes he shall not come austere or terrible but glorious and admirable that they may be led into an inheritance incorruptible 1. Pet. 1.4 In all them that beleeue This is added for an exposition For those whom before he had called saints he now calleth beleeuing signifiyng that there is no holines in men without faith but that all being deuoid of faith are prophane and vncleane Because our testimony toward you was beleeued That which
