One which happiness in this degenerate and forlorn posture of things we cannot hope for untill that kingdome come which we for the most part ignorantly but daily pray for and our Lord from Heaven be put in full possession upon Earth of his promised and dearely purchased Inheritance Heb. 12.2.3 in contemplation and foresight of which he couragiously bore the contradiction of sinners against himself induring the Cross despiseing the shame and is now sate down at the right hand of the throne of God Heb. 10.13 and as the same Authour saith in another place exspect or watch till the time cometh that his Enemies be made the footstool of his feet Thirdly Our Saviour himself never denyed Reason third that he both was and would be a King in that glorious and visible manner which is prophecied of for though while he was upon Earth the Lord Christ acted in a way suitable to that form of a servant which he then took upon him and therefore his kingdome and patience are joyned together Rev. 1.9 Yet when he was urged by the Pharisees he told them that he was the Son of God and that they should see him sitting on the right hand of power Mat. 26.64 And before Pilate he confessed he was a King which he calls a witnessing to the Truth John 18.37 and the Apostle Paul stiles it a good confession 1 Tim. 6.13.14 and though our Saviour then said to Pilate that his kingdome was not of this world so as to be advanced by worldly acts and to be set up by the fighting of his followers v 36. Yet he did not deny that he was to have a visible kingdome in the world but on the contrary doth clearly intiemate it both there and in several other places As 1. When Peter in the name of the rest of the Disciples doth ask our Saviour what reward they should have for leaving all and following him our Saviour replyes Mat. 19 28. opened that besides an hundred fold recompence in this life given as an earnest of somthing better they should be fully recompenced in the regeneration i. e. As the Syriacke translates it in the new world or 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in the world to come as it is called Heb. 2.5 This is the new Heaven and new Earth which Isay prophecies of Isa 65.17 and which saith the Apostle Peter we exspect according to his promise 2 Pet. 3.13 and is the same time with that of the sounding of the seventh Trumpet Rev. 11 for then the kingdomes of this world are to become the kingdomes of the Lord and of his Christ v. 15. and then he will give a reward unto his servants the Prophets and to his Saints and to them that fear him both small and great v. 18. this is called Acts. 3. The times of refreshing v 19. and the time of restitution of all things v. 21. i. That time wherein the state of the World shall be renewed and altered and that perfection and beauty put upon it wherewith it was endued at the first Creation as is evidently prophecied Isa 11.6.7.8.9 and 51.3 add 65.25 with Ezeck 36.34.35 And this is the time in which our Saviour promiseth that all his followers shall have a rich and ample requital for all their temporal hardship and losses which time is not the final judgement for none of the forementioned places do speak of that but the time of our Saviours Reign in which he saith that his Disciples shall share with him both there and again Luke 22.29 30. and not only they unto whom that answer was made but all the faithful 2 Tim 2.11.12 and all who overcome i. e. who have the words of Christ and hold them fast unto the end even they have a promise of the same royalty which the Lord Christ hath received from his Father and that is To have power over the Nations and to rule them with a rod of Iron Rev. 2.26.27 Which is celebrated in that Tryumphant Song of the Church thou hast made us unto our God Kings and Pri sts and we shall reign upon earth Rev. 5.10 2. Our Saviour compares himself upon his withdrawing from earth Luk. 19.12 opened unto such a Prince who goes a far Journey to receive a Kingdom and then returns in person to mannage it Luke 19 12. Which comparison is very observable because is was used and spoken by our Sav our at such a time when his hearers thought that the Kingdom of God which from the Prophets they had received such clear discoveries of was just then upon the point of Appearing v. 11. And though by mentioning the delay that would be interposed our Saviour doth check the impatience and eager hast of their desires yet doth he sufficiently manifest that at the time appointed he would come and in person destroy all his Enemies v 27 as we find he actually is seen to do Rev. 19.11.21 Which is the direct purport of all those Prophecies that I have mentioned 3. When the Apostles Act. 1 6. opened who were now in a great measure enlightned for by our Saviours breathing upon them they had received the Holy Ghost Joh. 20.22 and their mind was opened to understand the Scriptures Luke 24.45 Yet then they asked our Saviour whether he would at that time resto e the Kingdom unto Israel Acts 1.6 where by Kingdom is meant that Dominion and Soveraignty promised to the Israelites in Deut. 33.29 Isa 60 10 11 12. Micah 4 6 7 8. At which time the Lord Christ himself shall be at the Head of his Returning Israelites Isa 52.12 c. 35.8 according to the Hebrews Hos 1.11 Mic. 2.12 13. And our Saviour in his Answer doth not rebuke them for expecting such a Kingd m for the Scriptures which foretell it are clear and must be fulfilled but only he proves the curiosity in that they required after Gods Arcana and desired to know those Times and Seasons i. the particular time of setting up that promised Kingdom which as yet were not revealed but reserved by the Father in his own Power It is for the same Reason that the two Sons of Zebedee Mat. 20.22 are checked who did believe that Christ was to be a King nor are they blamed for that but they discovered a preposterous ambition in desiring to be advanced above their Brethren and utterly mistook both the time and manner of setting up that Kingdom and therefore our Saviour to take them off from their thought which then possessed them of present greatness mentions his sufferings as the way whereby he and consequently all his Followers were to enter into Glory So Luke 24 20 21. When the two Dssciples were disconsolate for the death of Christ bemoaning themselves as if now all their hopes were lost for we say they trusted that it had been he who should have redeemed Israel 1. Who should have asserted our Nation into that liberty and freedom which the Prophets speak of as the effect of
