A52084 Two sorts of latter days, proved from Scripture. First, the latter days of perilous times, the which are to be ended before the great and glorious latter days have their beginning. Proved when the elder people or nation is to serve the younger. And by that servitude made blessed. The old and new testament made to agree. And truth vindicated against all heresies. By M. Marsin Marsin, M. 1699 (1699) Wing M813E; ESTC R223742 30,711 48

shall be cut off from the Earth and that their offspring shall not remain in it 37 Psal 9.22.28 The which will be made good in the ever of the time to come And whereas St. Paul saith Rom. 9.14 What shall we say then is there Vnrighteousness with God God forbid Whereas he saith then thereby he sheweth he hath his reference to the time to come For as Balaam said according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and Israel what hath God wrought Num. 23.23 And so St. Paul sheweth the deliverance of Israel the second time will be like that of the first And whereas he said in the 15. vers God said to Moses I will have Mercy on whom I will have Mercy and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion Whereas the Apostle saith vers 16. So then it is not of him that willeth nor of him that runneth but of God that sheweth Mercy By this then the Apostle hath his reference to the then time of Israels deliverance And therefore he saith in the 17 vers The Scripture saith unto Pharaoh even for this same purpose have I raised thee up that I might shew my power in thee and that my name might be declared through all the Earth Now in the Hebrew it is no otherwise writ then that God made him stand For they being Israel's oppressors God therefore then made him stand till he came in the Clouds to drown them in the Sea For tho' God did not harden him in Wickedness or Cruelty yet he did in unbelief of his Power that he and his Host might follow after Israel and be drowned in the Sea So again when the Lord comes in the Clouds the wicked Edomites will then be destroyed when their Children will be spared for them that harden themselves in Wickedness and Cruelty God chuses such to harden in unbelief of his coming that he may thereby overtake them at unawares And when the Master of the House riseth up to Judgment then he will have mercy on whom he will have mercy and then his Mercy will be shewed according to his Promise and his Punishments according to his Threatnings For therein they shall not resist his will for then it is not any ones willing and running can bring them in Heirs with Israel to the Promises For then God according to his Word will shew forth his Power and make some Vessels to Honour and some to Dishonour At which time vers 23.24 He will make known the Riches of his Glory on the Vessels of Mercy which he had before prepared unto Glory even us whom he hath called not of the Jews only but also of the Gentiles This the Apostle speaks of them that were then in a peculiar manner called in whom he had before well instructed in these matters about which he wrote unto them for he saith he had declared the whole counsel of God by which he says he was clear from the Blood of all Men Acts 20.26 27. But these things were hard for us to understand who since t●●●● of the Pope know nothing of this matter he having condemned it for a Heresie Now St. Paul had several meanings according to the several occasions he had to express himself As when the first Gentile Churches were brought out of Idolatry he said unto them it was not for any works of Righteousness which they had done but according to his Mercy he saved them Titus 3.5 Rom. 3.25 And to all that embraced the Faith He said they must run for the Prize 1 Cor. 9.24 And that such should reap if they faint not Gal 6.9 And whereas he saith ye are saved by Grace and not by Works Is thereby to shew That none can be saved by Works standing alone without the Grace and Mercy of God through Christ But the tender of God's Grace being on conditions we must in this Life perform the conditions if we will in time to come inherit the Promises But when the Master of the House is risen up to Judgment then it is not of him that willeth nor of him that runneth but of God that sheweth Mercy For then God will shew Mercy to Israel according to his promise and punish the Disobedient under the Gospel according to his Threatnings But we not knowing these distinctions it hath occasioned endless Controversie among us And had not St. Paul's Words had their several tendencies he had writ a parcel of contradictions and if so he had thereby made all that he had said as an insignificant thing Not all Sleep AND whereas St. Paul said 1 Cor. 15.51 52. We shall not all Sleep but we shall all be changed in a moment at the last Trumpet Now the question is what We the Apostle here speaks of Whether it be both good and bad or only the saved that will be thus suddenly changed To which I answer it is not the bad that will be thus suddenly changed neither the generality of them that are saved that will be the We the Apostle here meaneth For Israel is to return into their own Land when the great Trumpet is blown Isa 27.13 And then it is the New everlasting Covenant will be Establisht and then it is God will rest in his Love to his People Therefore the Apostle saith vers 52. As it is written Death is swallowed up in Victory Isa 25.8 For then it is the rebuke of his People Israel God will take away from off all the Earth But this will not be done in the twinkling of an Eye therefore can have no reference to the We that are to be so suddenly changed And so by this We the Apostle appears only to have his reference to them in that time rather than to the Elect remnant which was to remain to the end of the World undeceived For in that he said we shall not all Sleep as expecting the returning of the Lord in their Day as by his writing it does further appear in his first Epistle to the Thessalonians Chap. 4. vers 17. And therefore he saith Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the Clouds to meet the Lord in the Air. For he knew that they were fore-chosen for the Glorious Tabernacle as well as those that Sleep when raised And therefore St. Paul saith Ephes 1.12 That we should be to the Praise of his Glory who first trusted in Christ Whereby it is evident to all by his saying We he had but herein his reference to them in that time that did first trust in Christ and were fore-chosen that God in them might shew forth the exceeding Riches of his Grace in the Ages to come Ephes 2.7 For they being fore-chosen for the Glorious Tabernacle he knew there was no getting up there but by being taken up in the Clouds to meet the Lord in the Air where this Glorious Mansion is to be placed over all Israel's assemblies and for their Covert Isa 4.5 6. And that he did expect
