more a Kingdom forever Answ This is a mistake of 1 Cor. 15.24.28 which must be understood of the Kingdom as now it is with respect to the present Dispensation and to confirm this Let me Declare a Mystery Which is this upon Mans Fall the Enemies of God increasing Christ as Mediator who was with Moses and the Church of old Heb. 11.26 1 Cor. 10.4 was set up and ruled invisibly over all the World but when he was by his Resurrection declared to be the Son of God with Power and all Power then given him Math. 28.18 When he Ascended and God set him at his own right hand in the Heavenly places Ephes 1.20 It was upon this Account till he makes his Enemies his Footstool So that its clear the whole Reign of Christ now upon his Fathers Throne Rev. 3.21 from his first being sat down thereon till he comes from Heaven is a Subduing Kingdom Only a 1000 years Triumph and then the Enemies break forth again And that by God himself in Honour of his Son Which Honour doubtless is not to be less when all is actually and compleatly subdued to him for that were to lose the end of God in making his Foes his Footstool Only as he owned here on Earth My Father is greater than I John 14.28 So all being subdued to him and he being Man as well as God must still continue under that consideration his inferiority to the Father who is the head of Christ 1 Cor. 11.3 by becoming Subject that God may be all in all Which is very confistent with his retaining the Glory of his Everlasting Kingdom among the Sanctified Sons of Men. Enemies being subdued there needs no further subbduing power or the subduing Kingdom Thus God brings Good out of Evil Israel sinned in d●siring a King but David and other Kings were Biessings to them and Types of this Eternal King For the Restitution as pag. 3. will be augmentative by the Experience of fallen man restored and by the Glory of the Lord from Heaven 1 Cor. 15.44.47.48 And so the Eternal Glory is expressly called a Kingdom What did man in innocency know what Kingdom meant c. But all things according to the purpose of God before time Ephes 1.11 The Conclusion 1. THat no unsanctified Spirits may trouble themselves herewith Psal 50.16 unless they truly resolve to turn God 2. And that none that do belong to God would be discouraged if after refreshing hereby they should find Deadness and Darkness in these things which is no strange thing nor the Truth ever the worse the Author is not quite ignorant of his Devices 2 Car 2.11 and lest such should faint under such Trials let them consider Colos 3.3.4 1 Joh. 3.2 3. If the World so renewed shall be the Saints Let them take the Council of Joseph to Jacob Gen. 46.20 Also regard not your Stuff for the good of all the Land of Egypt is yours Be content in the Faith of this with Food and Rayment 1 Tim. 6.8 Tho like Abraham you have not yet one Foot of Inheritance in the Land of Promise Act. 7.5 Tho Strangers now yet we should look upon the Earth with comfort as our proper Possession hereafter to be Redeemed Eph. 1.14 Rom. 8.20 4. Lay up a good Foundation against this time to come 1 Tim 6.19 i. e. by doing good to others See Math. 25.34.35 Luk. 14.14 Ephes 6.8 The Reward tho not for the good Deed yet will be proportionable to the works of Vertue and Charity see 2 Cor. 9.6 Ten Talents improved redounds to Ten Cities Five Talents to five Cities Luk. 19.17.19 Except what great grace in any will multiply their little as Mark 12.42 43. God is a free Agent and also Just I say there will be Dominion in the World to come Ease what means the Crowns promised 2 Tim. 4.8 1 Cor. 9.25 and a Kingdom Luk. 22.29 And if every Saint shall Reign in Glory much more the King of Saints notwithstanding his delivering up the Kingdom to God and becoming Subject c. which therefore must be understood of his delivering up his Commission to him that had put all things under him That the Humane Nature of Christ as becometh the Creature all the great Works of the Mediator being finishee may acquiess in acknowledging the Superiority of the Divine being Yet shining Gloricusly through God in the Glory of the Mediatorship accomplished in the Love and Glory of the Saints and in all peace and absolute perfection in the Glory of being King in and amongst them and they in him 5. I would have none Oppose themselves in this Doctrine of the New World to think that Heaven is excluded see pag. 9. Heaven will be more appropriate to Man by Christ than it could have been by the first Man Adam 1 Cor. 15.47.50 But as Heaven is superadded so the Earth shall be Restored and therefore the New Heavens and New Earth are very consistent A Confirmation of the Earths Eternal Duration in the State of Eternal Glory 1. THE Body of Man is made of the Dust of the Ground yet made Immortal by putting on Immortality 1 Cor. 15.54 So may the Earth be Eternized by Christ for the Glory and Good of Man 2. He that will restore it from under the Curse can perpetuate that restored State Rev. 22.3 3. God that made it of nothing can much more uphold it forever being made 4. Though the Earth be a material gross body yet the Foundations of it are unsearchable and Divine Job 38.6 yea it hangs upon nothing chap. 26.7 the principle of Nature is confounded here by that adequate poize of this Terrene Globe so that by Divine Artifice it is said to be so laid on the Foundations as not to be removed forever Psal 104.5 And I refer it to consideration whether these be not the Foundations in Heb. 11.10 at least by way of Allusion When all Humane works will turn over to the Foundations in the day of the Lord 2 Pet. 3.10 But the World to come after that is for the Children of the Resurrection Luke 20.35 36. 5. And whereas some say the Earth will be turned into its first Chaos and be a place of Torment yet how would that suit the Notion of a Lake as Hell is called pag. 5. Besides this very Tenet grants the thing For if it be a place of Torment forever then it shall abide forever and that same Divine power that might uphold it as a place of Fire and ●o●●ent can much more preserve it in its Verdure and Glory as a place of Divine Presence Happiness and Glory to the Heirs of Glory FINIS

A TREATISE OF The New Heavens and New Earth Proved to be Perpetual and Eternal in that Visible State of both in the Restitution after the destruction of the World by Fire Whereunto is added A true State of the Thousand years-time proving it to be before the second Coming of Christ As also the Succinct Order of things from Christs first Appearing in the Clouds unto the Eternal State after the Day of Judgment By T. M. a Lover of TRUTH Psal 119.162 I rejoyce at thy word as one that findeth great spoil Prov. 25.25 As cold waters to a thirsty Soul so is good news from a far country Isa 33.17 Thine eyes shall see the King in his beauty they shall behold the land that is very far off London Printed in the year 1680. A TREATISE OF THE New HEAVENS and EARTH THE main Subject of this Treatise is the Mystery of New Heavens and Earth as restored in the State of Eternal Glory As an Apology for the Impression I must say The Destruction of this Visible Heaven and Earth by Fire is a Truth I was bred up in from a Child from 2 Pet. 3. though I find divers question it Though it hath been pretended many others have wrote of this Subject I never yet saw one that Treated mainly or purposely or positively on it and but one that mentions it at all and that so by the by and as probable that he left it in doubt And moreover the same Book and Author is so erroneous in other points that I think it unsafe to commend any Reader to it Which Errors have been soundly answered by another with the harmonious assent of divers able Ministers Except about the Sonship of Christ wherein I humbly conceive they did not so understand him though the things they urged against him in it were also sound In a Word if this my Discovery of the New and Eternal State of the Earth as well as Heaven be a Truth 't is no light matter nor any Infirmities in me should make it to be despised But mend that in your own Search after it that you conceive desective in mine I shall be as glad of a further Revelation by another as I am of this Degree by my self As to the Second Subject of the Thousand Years I did not make it my Intention nor had I writ here of it Only I was forced to mention and make out the same as to the Time of it that I might distinguish it in the Scripture-Representations not to be confounded nor contemporary with the main subject Hereof For which cause also I was forced to present a Specimem of the Order of things from Christs First Appearing in the Clouds to the Eternal State which also leads to the Completion of my Design The New Heavens and Earth as to be Eternal Which may be comprized in this Position That after the Destruction of the Heavens and Earth that now are by fire and after the Day of Judgment there will be a glorious Renewed State of both which shall be the Inheritance of the Sons of God and the glorious Kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ for ever and ever Arguments to evidence this I. We are taught to Pray Thy Kingdom come thy Will be done in Earth as it is in Heaven Mat. 6.10 This Prayer is to be performed in all Ages till the Kingdom come and the Will of God be done in Earth as it is now in Heaven And we must Petition nothing but according to the Will of God and therein he will hear us See 1 John 5.14 15. Now the Will of God shall be done in Earth as it is in Heaven in 2 Respects 1. In Heaven it is done infallibly Not the least failing Mat. 13.41 This proves that the Thousand years Reign doth not perfectly fulfil this for a seed of evil-Doers is left in the Kingdom then who after the 1000 years make head against the Camp of the Saints in the Attempt of Gog and Magog Rev. 20.8 9. Nor yet will the Saints be then perfectly free from Sin being before the bodies Resurrection as page 2. In Heaven the Will of God is done by all and only those that are perfect and glorified Psal 103.19 20 21. Hebr. 12.23 So shall it be also in the Resurrection and world to come Luke 20.35 36. John 1. last See Page 4. And consequently when the Will of God is thus done in Earth and the Doers of it thus glorified It follows that they shall remain upon the Earth That the Earth shall be made glorious as Heaven is And also abide for ever from the ensuing Arguments II. Argument Christ shall Reign on the Throne of his Father David for ever and for ever and ever Luke 1.32 33. Isa 9.7 Jer. 23.5 Hebr. 1.8 Rev. 11.15 To Explain this consider two things 1. His Reign now on the right hand of the Throne of the Majesty in the Heavens Hebr. 8.1 is on his Fathers Throne Rev. 3.21 which Kingdom he is to deliver up at the end to God again 1 Cor. 15 24-28 2. His Kingdom now in the Churches is indeed the budding of the Horn of David Psal 132.17 The New Creature is a kind of first fruits of his Creatures according to purpose ordain'd for this New Creation which as the Creature it self so also the Saints having the first fruits of the Spirit groan for Rom. 8.22 23. And even now this true Israel is their Davids Glory the riches of the Glory of his Inheritance Ephes 1.18 And as it begins in Regeneration so it grows up in the World in succeeding Ages till the Kingdomes become Christs Revel 11.15 Dan. 7.27 Revel 20.4 and to be over all the world for a Thousand years But after the end of this World by fire in the first Death and change upon all Creatures As his Kindom to wit on Davids Throne had been sown in this World so it springs up in the World to come in the New heaven and Earth wherein shall dwell-righteousness 2 Pet. 3.13 And in this World to come is the everlasting Kingdom 2 Pet. 1.11 and the everlasting life Luk. 18 30. Revel 21.1 5. the wicked being Judged and cast into the Lake Rev. 20. end Now whereas his Kingdom is said to be for ever and for ever and ever and everlasting ●● though those terms in the Old Testament phrase are temporal and but for a set time yet in the New Testament it respects Eternity 2 John 2.1 Thess 4.17 Revel 1.6 Matth. 19.29 So Luke 1.32.33 2 Pet. 1.11 c. Now the present Dispensation of his Kingdom as now upon his Fathers Throne in heaven Revel 3.21 being at last to be delivered up again to God 1 Cor. 15.24 and the Son himself be subject in that respect And yet his Kingdom must be everlasting Therefore it follows That it shall be in the New heavens and Earth Eternally as unto which he was born typically and according to the flesh King of the Jews Matt. 2.2 of the Seed of
