and Jacob the chief intent was in the Renewed State thereof in which sence the Apostle saith he was Heir of the World by Faith Rom. 4.13 which he with his Spiritual Seed shall then have even that Great Holy and Beloved Jerusalem comeing then down from God out of Heaven having Foundations whose Maker and Builder is God Heb. 11.10 16 40. after 6000 years But the Typical Canaan Conditionally given to his Naturrl Race was to them a polluted Rest by their Sin and therefore it cast them out with a sore Destruction Mic. 2.10 2. To Isaac the like Covenants were renewed for the same to him and his Spiritual Seed which will be also made good at the end of the sixth Millennium and throughout all the seventh pag. 9 of our Key page 9. of Introduct 3. To Jacob and his Spiritual Seed the like was again ratified whence God is the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob through all Generations which is his Memorial until all their Covenants be compleated to the end of the seventh Millennium page 9. of our Key In the 3d Millen God made his Covenant with David for his sure Mercies respecting Christs Kingdome in the 1000 years after his Natural Race's long Bondage for Sin Yet first David and his Natural Race enjoyed the Typical Canaan and their Jerusalem about 450 years until that by their increased Provocations there was no remedy but they must go Captive to Babylon as the Ten Tribes of Israel went many years before into Assyria Both which Captivities were to continue as God then Revealed by Daniel ch 8. all the 2300 years of the four Mettle Kingdoms ch 2. at the end whereof the Spiritual Seed of David with himself through that his one Divine Seed Christ shall possess Davids Kingdome with the Holy City which Ahraham looked for and both in the Renewed state of them and though Davids Tabernacle fell at Babylons Captivity yet then it shall be rai ed again Amos 9. at Christs appearance and Kingdome 2 Tim. 4.1 Acts 15.16 pag. 9 c. of our Key Moreover God was pleased to shew Mercy to Davids People after 70 years to reduce them by Cyrus to fulfil in due time Jacobs Prophesie of the comeing of Shilo Gen. 49. by sending then the great Messiah towards the end of Daniels 70 Weeks or 490 Years by his first comeing in Humility to suffer and perform all Gods Wills putting an end to Transgression by his Death and bringing in everlasting Righteousness by his Resurrection and forty dayes after by his Ascention to improve that his great Work of Reconciliation by his Death and by his Intercession ever since at Gods right hand on his Fathers Throne during Gods Kingdome of the Stone for its 1666 years Divinely in that time destroying the last Roman Iron Kingdome with the Remainders of the former Dan. 2.35 when he comes from thence to sit on his own Throne Rev. 3.21 page 9. This Sovereign Antidote against Atheisme Profaneness and all Errour contrary hereunto and also as an excellent means to promote all contrary good if God shall set it home is conscienciously to be applyed by all Christians for themselves and others for which purpose let us all Pray that God would give his blessing and good success thereunto Amen The Composer of the Divine Scheme explained by that very apt decyphering of Christs most precious Key of the same Divine Grace earnestly seeking the good and satisfaction of all men by such now seasonable great and gracious Discoveries thereby evidently manifest that all such branches as are not really transplanted into the true Vine may earnestly and speedily labour to get into that estate and such as are transplanted already may bring forth their due fruit therein and that he may the better set home all other Scriptural Considerations doth now thereunto farther add many Convincing Evidences than what he set down Assert 7. of his Key and in many other parts formerly of these two things viz. 1. Of the Personality of Christs appearance and Reign at the beginning of his great day of Judgment 2. Of the now neer approach thereof which he purposeth if God will to annex as an Appendix thereunto The Summarie of both here follows AS to the first their Personality is strongly proved so by many heads of Arguments drawn from the drift of the whole Divine Scheme carrying on Gods Design of Christs Mediatory Kingdom in the Ishue as God-man and the Son of David And 2. In the four particulars explained by Christs Revelation respecting that happy time and state And 3. from the particular Covenants and Promises gradually carrying on the same being also explained by the Prophets Gospels Apostles Writings and especially by the Revelation shewing the true meaning of all the other 4. By many apt and evident expressions and proofs in the Old and New Testament of his said personal appearance and Kingdom 5. From many Divine Evidences that the great day of Judgment or Matutinum Judicium thereof then begins as Jewish Rabbies also understood that first Session of the Judgment at the Beasts Ruine Dan. 7. which is farther proved by all the four marks of the day of Judgment and by both parts thereof in judging the quick and dead bad and good the last with rewards whose lot fell out to be under the suffering times and state of the Church both of Jews and Gentiles and of all Saints until Christs second comeing the like marks and parts will be of the Vesper Judicium set forth by by Christ Rev. 20.11 c. 6. From the many great things then peculiarly to be done by Christ and none else As 1. To bring all the said Saints with him Zach. 14.5 1 Thes 3. ult 2. From his raising then their spiritual Bodies 3. From his commanding his Enemies then to be brought and slain before him Luke 19. 4. From his being seen then with the eyes of Jews and Gentiles through the Clouds Rev. 1.7 5. From his feet's standing on Mount Olivet Zach. 14. Upon his descending then probably to convert the Jews by means of his wonderful cleaving that mountain shakings of the Earth Isa 2.19 21. and destruction of the enemies then Ezek. 39.8 with his eminent pouring his Spirit upon them Joel 2. Zach. 12.10 7. His receiving then his Universal and perpetual Kingdom Dan. 7.13 14 27. 8. His sitting on the Throne of his Father David Luke 1.32 In all which and the like actings he must necessarily then be personally present And 9. In his whole Reign by his executing Righteousness and Judgment in the Earth The last Head of Arguments is from the many Relations he will then stand in to them 1. As their then visibly glorious Head and they his visible Members 2. As their Divine Bridegroom and the said Saints his visible Bride 3. He the Husband to dwell with them Rev. 21. and they the Lambs Wife vers 9. 4 He as the Heir of all things and they joynt-heirs with him Rev. 21.7 as the Wife's
me and so he judgeth his Saints with Reward ch 11.19 and this he will be doing all the 1000 years for them 8. His sitting on the Throne of his Father David Luke 1.32 Isa 9. not as he sits now on God the Fathers Throne but as distinct from it Rev 3.21 when he comes from his Fathers right hand to sit on his own Throne in the world as the Son of David and be manifest therein to be the King of Kings and Lord of Lords and all his manifold actings in righteousness and Judgment in the Earth of which are many and great Prophesies then upon his said Morning Judgment in all the 1â—00 years also prove his personal presence as the Branch or one out of the root of Jesse and yet though so the Son yet as God he was the root of David Rev. 5. But N. B. not as some mistake of his and his Saints being then as other Kings and men in the world but comeing as the great God Tit. 2.13 in his own and his Fathers and his Angels glory c. and in that Christalline Transparent Golden Wonderful Holy and Beloved New Jerusalem Rev. 21. 1500 miles high as well as 1500 miles long and broad a perfect Cube without allegorising of it or many other matters then and there for Gods Spirit hath not said it will be of such height in vain who best knows and being likewise the Maker and Builder of that City for the Fathers and all his Saints as Heb. 11.16.40 is able to make it both capacious enough and suitably glorious to the blessed holy raised Saints condition therein to behold Christs glory Joh. 17.24 their blessed Redeemer Head and Husband and when men begin to wait upon God more duly to seek to know these things from his Word as they are there held out in humility and uprightness he will doubtless give them a suitable Faith to believe more of such Divine Truths which is now a great duty though the Old Seducer labours by all means possible to perswade men to the contrary otherwise like Thomas they may not haply know them until they see them and haply for wilful neglect may then obtain a smaler portion in them c. But all the said promised mercies expounded by Christ as is manifest in our Scheme do refer to that time and state and will then have their due accomplishments though multitudes now shut their eyes against such light as by our six Conclusions is sufficiently evident pag. 17 18. of Restitut such glorious Revelations left by the Father to be made known by his Son alone after all ought earnestly to be sought into by all good means and highly prized when they are found The transparent matter of those Coelestial Spheres wherein those glorious lights above us shine unto the world is not by men discoverable what it is so neither is the matter of that glorious City prepared by God himself for that King of glory and his said Saints in that blessed state farther known then as we are informed from the holy Scriptures concerning the same and though the raised Saints and those then in the natural life will then be of one Communion yet their states otherwise seem to be pointed out much to differ as by Ezekiels New Jerusalem and St. Johns may appear the one for the Converred Jews with the Gentiles to walk in the light of the other Rev. 21.24 the other peculiar to the raised Saints And 9. From the Apostle Paul's expressions to the Thessalonians 2 Epist 1.10 there will be at Christs said comeing as he there tells them much occasion of glorifying him by his Saints and of his being admired then by all that believe as well for his Personal Excellencies as for all his said actions in those times which without his Personal Presence they would not have opportunity and occasion then to do The last Head of Arguments for such Christs Personal Presence then will be from the Relation he then stands in to his said Saints First he will be then the Saints visible Head and they his visible Members both to be present 2. At the Marriage of the Lamb he will be the Bridegroom and the Saints his visible Bride Rev. 21.9 now that Relation imports his personal appearance as well as hers 3. As the Husband he will long continue in that state with them and dwell with them the said 1000 years therefore upon the comeing of the said New Jerusalem viz. the Inhabitants metanimically down with him from God out of Heaven there the Holy Spirit declares That the Tabernacle of God viz. the body which he Tabernacled in before for a little time then will be with men so as to dwell with them that long season and therefore personally present 4. The joint interest that Christ and his said Saints will have in the happiness of that state as heirs and joint-heirs with him thereof which also prove his personal presence Rev. 21 7. 5. More especially their Reigning with him on earth then as the most comprehensive Mercy of all the rest which all the other tend to make up as the prospering into a Kingdom was to the Natural Race in the Type Ezek. 16.13 and hence this Kingdom and Reign of the Saints with Christ is so often mentioned in the Revelation For then the Kings Daughter that is all glorious within wh se Garments are said to be of wrought Gold shall enter into the Kings Palace Psal 45. who shall make of her Children Princes in all Lands some as Christ said over two or five or ten Cities Luke 19. and all such offices and Relations speak his personal presence in that state when once these everlasting Gates shall begin to stand open for the King of Glory to enter in Psal 24. And thus much at present briefly of Christs said personal Comeing and Reign in the 1000 years as proved abundantly from all the fore named Considerations Now the Second thing viz. That they shall be about 20 years hence from this 76 or rather 80 which we desire to give farther satisfaction in according to what we find in the Word of God and from such Divine Grounds as are according thereunto upon which our Belief thereof is founded are these ensuing 1. In general we find all Prophetick Scripture is almost fulfilled neer to Christs appearance as in particulars may hereafter appear 2. More especially because Daniel's 2300 years given by Palmoni or the secret Numberer ch 8. which many ways are manifest 1. To be the most certain Number or Measure of the years of the Jews Bondage and of the Gentiles Dominion through all their four Monarchies And 2. The Measure of both his other Numbers in connexion with the Revelation Numbers joyntly which admirably terminate in the same Period with it at Christ's said appearance when in all those respects that Number will be fulfilled as follows For the First That it is the Measure of the Jews Bondage and of the Gentiles Dominion is proved largely from the
confirmed from the particulars under the next head of Arguments drawn from the many actions or great things the Scripture speaks of to be then done peculiarly by himself and at that time 4. Therefore to proceed to those acts peculiar to Christ then to be done by him The first is he will bring his Saints with him then as Zach. 14.5 he will come and all the Saints with him confirmed by St. Paul he will come at his appearance with all his Saints 1 Thess 3. ult and 4.14 them also that sleep in Jesus will God then bring with him and therefore the Bride the Lambs Wife is ready when the Halelujahs are sung Rev. 19 7. which is expounded Rev. 21.9.10 to be the New Jerusalem then come down from God out of Heaven or the spirits of just men before made perfect Heb. 12. coming with Christ to receive their spiritual bodies in their order whereby they are made capable of the happy Vision of Christs Person and of the many parts of the happiness of that Jerusalem state the Mansion for that time which Christ went to prepare for them in special Joh. 14.1 2. as his own Revelation resolves us but whether it will after be translated with them when the created Heavens and Earth shall be dissolved Rev. 20.11 we find nothing to resolve us but that an infinite and eternal happiness will follow the end of that great day of Judgment upon their final sentence of Absolution and Approbation is there and in many other Scriptures manifest where God hath prepared it for them for ever c. And as he will then bring all his suffering Saints from Abel to that time he cometh to that Judgement with him So 2. He will raise their Bodies to make them capable of the happiness of that state as one great end of his bringing them then with him and being such a Mercy as is founded upon all the Covenants and promised Mercies we spake of before belonging to the Father and their spiritual Seed in the renewed state of the world appointed by the Father for him and them together as was shewed before whence farther evidences of his personal presence with them are very evident and cogent from Scripture if God work that Faith in men to believe them upon such Scripture grounds and it is only Christs peculiar personal work then to raise the Saints departed c. 3. When he comes in the Clouds then and converts the Jews they shall personally see him through the Clouds without which mortal eyes could not behold the brightness of his Glory at his appearance therefore often so called 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 his appearance and the appearance of his presence who will then be manifest to be the only Potentate King of Kings and Lord of Lords as the Apostle Paul divinely and fully teacheth 1 Tim. 6.14 15 16. and as Christ also in due order reveals largely Rev. 19. with many wonderful expressions of his Excellency then to be manifest but that the Jews that pierced him and every eye then capable shall see him the Clouds shall then wait upon him Rev. 1.7 it is set forth as a great wonder Behold he cometh with Clouds as the Holy Spirit therefore speaks and with an addition of even so Amen as being the time of fulfilling of promised Mercies to Jews and faithful Gentiles the spiritual Children of Abraham by Faith as the Apostle speaks Gal. 3.29 yea and they are said to be Christs seed too which he shall then see upon such prolonging of his days in the world then Isa 53. now when all those shall with their Eyes see him he must then necessarily be personally present and this is according to the main intent of Zach. 12.10 to the end of the Jews great Conversion for all Revelations from the sounding of the seventh Trumpet at Christs coming in the Clouds refer us to the Prophesies of the Old Testament who have this Key given to open all that follows there to the end that the Testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophesie Rev. 19 10. for he there witnesseth nothing but what his own holy Spirit had taught in some measure before by his Prophets So Zach. 3.9 their iniquity shall be taken away in one day and Isa 6 8 9. c. that Nation shall be born in one day c which their Elias to be sent some time before as Mal. 4.1 to guide them in seeking their promised land then seems to prepare for towards the end of Daniels 1335 years c. 11 12. And 4. Likewise the fulfilling of that Prophesie Zach. 14. when his feet shall stand on Mount Olivet from whence he ascended upon which it is very probable he will again then descend with Clouds wonderfully causing it then to cleave asunder and cause the Valley to Azal sutable to what those two Angels said to the Apostles when he ascended Acts 1.11 and there is much in that whole Chapter of Zach. 1. to many of these purposes but we must in this business in hand briefly only point at many things of such nature and such wonderful works of Christ seem to prepare that so long hardned people the Jews for the wonder of Christs mercy to be then magnified towards them according to many great Prophesies as Ezek. 36 and 37. ch and as in our said Paper of their Conversion c. and his standing on Mount Olivet and its cleaving then also clearly prove him present 5. His Command to bring his great Enemies and slay them before him Luke 19. proveth his presence when it shall be done and that will be at the Judgment of the Beast Dan. 7. and upon or at the destruction of Gog the Turk Dan. 11.45 for ch 10.1 at that time stands up Michael the Prince of Daniels people when he tells him his people shall be delivered and when these Enemies perish 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 it is done at the last Vial Rev. 16.16 17. which fulfils that great Prophecy of Gogs and Magogs destruction Ezek. 39.8 at that great day which the Lord God there spake of as pag. 61 62. of Restit 6. The binding of Satan then and sealing him up in the bottomless pit Rev. 20. when he eminently breaks the Serpents head as Gen. 3.15 at the end of his sitting on his Fathers right hand when he will make his temporal or corporal enemies together with his spiritual eminently his footstool which is also an act suitable only to Christs Soveraignty then which he will exercise as the Father set down in the Book with 7 Seals for 1000 years and in the little space afterwards when also upon Satans last most wicked attempt of Rebellion against his Divine Soveraign Authority he and all his shall perish for ever c. 7. His dispensing of his Rewards to his Saints then will be his peculiar personal act as he speaketh expressly at his said personal comeing Rev. 22.12 Behold I come quickly and my Reward is with
THE TRUE NEWS OF THE GOOD NEW WORLD Shortly to come Heb. 2.5 for all such as then shall be found real Saints WITH THE SUDDEN END OF ALL THE Enjoyments of this present Evil WORLD To such as then shall be found Unsanctified Tender'd to the serious consideration of all sorts in a Divine Scheme at 6 d. or a little Book with it at 12 d. To be briefly explained to all that are willing to hear in any convenient Time or Place to be appointed without just cause of fear or shame as the Compiler thereof lately Petitioned the Kings Majesty and more lately the Lord Mayor and Court of Aldermen of this City according to the Word of God c. But such Persons as appear to be indigent whose Names may be set down to use the said Scheme a Week for 1 d. or the Book for 2 d. until they be explained may have them returning them unimpair'd or haply for nothing 〈…〉 great benefits of the right knowledge of our Saviours main scope in the four last Chapters of the Revelation largely explained in Resur on Rev. 20.5 and Restit on Rev. 21.5 are these c. I. THereby an excellent Guidance it obtained to understand and distinguish the meaning and intent of ancient Prophesie both concerning Christ himself and his Saints before and since his first coming and what concerns both himself and them in that state following his second coming as Introduct pag. 14. col 2. which to cut off as Unscriptural is a great and manifold Errour as is manifest from the whole current of sacred Scriptures and without the acknowledgment thereof not only ancient Prophesie of the Old Testament but many places in the Gospels and the Apostles Writings both upon the foundations of those Prophesies and tending to Christs own said Explication of that following state are not yea and they cannot be rightly understood being the very subject thereof which much concerns all Christians now to know and consider well c. II. Thereby the most full true Scriptural Explications of these three following Articles of our usual Creed are now only attainable except by New Revelation which is not to be expected 1. That Christ will so come from the Fathers right hand to judge the quick viz. his great and lesser Enemies by a temporal destruction of them Ezek. 39.8 Matth. 13.41 and the dead viz. the before suffering Saints until then viz. with a judgment of reward Rev. 11.18 19. and 22.12 who shall upon their raising then with their spiritual Bodies enjoy all the covenanted Mercies in that said state with Christ 1000 years and the iike judging of the quick again viz. of the last Gog and Magog Rev. 20.9 and of the dead then viz. of the wicked to be raised at the last Trump will be upon the Saints general momentany change and rapture 1 Cor. 15. to receive the final sentence of them both c. 2. That the Resurrection of the just or first said Resurrection Rev. 20.5 will be at Christs second coming or appearance in the Clouds 1000 years before the said Resurrection of the wicked which he teacheth expresly v. 5. saying The rest of the dead lived not again bodily as the Sants did 1000 years before until those 1000 years were finished 3. That such a great and excellent part of that holy Communion of the Saints appointed upon many Scriptural accounts for the said time and state when the Nations of them that are saved Rev. 21.24 suitable to Esa 60.3 shall walk in the light of the New Jerusalem then come down with Christ from God out of Heaven to be then the Bride the Lambs Wife v. 9 10. See Saints Resur and 6 Conclusions pag. 17 18. of Restitut III. Thereby also the chiefest and highest scope of the three first Petitions of our Lords most divine and comprehensive Prayer is both made known and to be eminently attainable viz. in that World to come Heb. 2.5 both which follow from the former Assertions And this is grounded upon the same Scripture foundations for our Faith to rest upon Viz. 1. Hallowed be thy Name 2. Thy Kingdom come 3. Thy Will be done and all three will be in Earth then as it is now in Heaven As also This Day seems to be annexed to the other three Petitions to teach us they ought to be daily sought for by Prayer to God Viz. 1. This Days Bread 2. This Days pardon of sin with our pardoning others 3. This Days preservation or deliverance from the Evil one c. All which will most largely be granted in that time and state as the holy Scriptures also teach as in Irenic c. That these very excellent benefits are warranted from the most Divine Authority of Jesus Christ himself is most apparent by the right understanding of our Divine Scheme and very apt Revelation Key and by our whole work The Scheme of Gods Eternal Great Designe in the World for Christ and his Elect Saints given to him by the Father upon the Performance of his Great Work of Mediatorship as is manifest from his Word in these Four Great Things ensuing which are all by our Saviours Revelation Key Applyed to the Seventh Millennium 1. By his Eternal appointing of Christ to be Heir of all things at the end of 6000. Years Heb. 1.2 and Heb. 3 4 ch when the Saints shall be Heirs and Joynt-heirs with him Rev. 21.7 Rom 8.17 18 19 20. 2. By making an Eternal Covenant with Christ to give the Elect to him upon his fulfilling of his great work of Redemption of Men Creatures as Isa 62.6 Isa 59. ult to be in that time and state his Bride the Lambs Wife Rev. 21.2 9. 3. By his Declared Purpose to Create the World for Christ and his said Saints to Inherit then when he will put all things under his Feet and make all things New for him and them Rev. 21.5 7. this Decree proved from Ps 8.4 expounded by Heb. 2. v. 6 7 8. 4. By his declared Decree that after all opposition in the said 6000 years Enmity notwithstanding yet saith he then in the Seventh Millennium I will set my King Christ upon my Holy Hill of Sion and his Saints shall Reign with him Rev. 20.4 6. 2. God by Christ Created the World in six dayes in a state fit to carry on his said Eternal Designes in the said four Parâ—iculars and Rested the seventh day as foreseeing Adams Fall if he upheld him not in that state by his own Almighty Arme which he was not pleased then to do c. as in our Divine Theses 1 2 3 4 c. in our Irenic And to Type out Christs work of Redemption in 6000 years before the great Sabbatisme of Rest be obtained for himself and his said Bride the Lambs Wife in the seventh Rev. 21.2 9. 3. Upon the Fall of Man in reference to his said Eternal Designs he makes his General Declaration of his purposed Grace by Christ the Promised Seed of the
by Christ to be 1000. years six times over three times Absolutely and three times Relatively as is Explained on several Accounts page 14. of Introduction The INTIMATION These Gracious Discoveries of untainted Divine Truths of the Gospel being the Testimony of Jesus and the Spirit of Prophesie Rev. 19.10 are therefore the best Foundations of the best Divinity affording the best Guidance for the understanding of all Prophetick Scripture both for removing of evil as to the breaking of the Serpents head and obtaining of good according to the promised Mercies and Covenants to and with the Fathers c. as Introduct p. 13 14 15. and in other parts but consequently do not afford any just grounds of Satans ancienter or modern affixed Errours and Scandals which by sound judgment fall to the Dung-hill like the dryed Scabs which he had maliciously wrought upon Jobs Body when God healed him as Asser 2 3 4 of our Key And we need not marvel at Satans malice against these sacred Doctrines because they manifest his long Imprisonment in the bottomless Pit is nigh and that shortly after will follow by his strong Chain of Darkness his casting into the Fiery Lake for ever wherefore they are indeed very useful especially in these last dayes as the Spirit of Christ by his Word hath been in Mercy pleased so to open them to be now duly improved by all men and let all sorts duly consider Christs terrible Threat Rev. 22.18 19 c. Wherefore as I judged it my duty and was preparing to tender them first to our King's Majesty joyntly with his Parliament had they sitten a week longer so now I shall offer them as God may afford me opportunity to any considerable Companies Assemblies or Persons c. This Intimation was presented since the Parliament c. to the KING'S Majesty alone with the whole Work by an Address December 4. 1675. Let men now labour most earnestly for true saying Fruit-bearing Faith and secure it to themselves and others by their improving all their Lords Talents until he comes like Wiâ—e Virgins with Oyl in their Vessels and their Lamps burning Mat. 25. for all living persons Talents must shortly be accounted for without exception or exemption of any by reason of their present distinguishing worldly Circumstances A brief but weighty Appendix to our Scheme for the farther needful satisfaction of all persons in these two now needful things to be considered First That Christs now neer-approaching Appearance and Reign will very evidently be personal at the destruction of the Beast Rev. 19 20 ch Secondly We shall give a farther account of our many Divine Reasons why we really believe that Christs said personal appearance or comeing in the Clouds will be about 20 years hence in a latitude from 76. which by the loss of 4 years is to be reckoned 1680. as pag. 55 56 57. of Restitution AS for the former we have already briefly set down very much evidence thereof both of our own former proofs thereof and of others in Assert 7. of our Key and in other parts unto which we shall here also add many other weighty Considerations and the rather by reason we find all the said former proofs are so little hitherto duly weighed by most men c. as namely these ensuing 1. That in the drift of our whole Divine Scheme being explained according to Christs Revelation the best Resolver in the whole world which manifests that the said personal appearance and Reign of Christ in his Davidical Kingdom in the world are carryed on all along as the greatest thing to be accomplished therein and the drift of all the other promised Mercies in the 1000 years And that first as Gods eternal Design before all time witnessed to in his Word in 4 things Secondly in time as carryed on by Predictions Covenants and Promises c. 1. As Gods eternal Design for Christ and those which he had given him in the world upon his fulfilling of his great work of Redemption for them in the first 6000 years c. And therein first as Christ was eternally appointed to be heir of all things Heb. 1. in the seventh Millennium so Christ assures the said Saints that they also shall then inherit all things Rev. 21.7 or be then heirs and joynt heirs with him also Rom. 8.20 21. which requires his and their joynt personal presence together with that Inheritance c 2. As God by an eternal Covenant had given them to him upon the fulfilling of his said great work of Redemption in the 6000 years before then to be his bride the Lambs Wife Rev. 21.9 and so they shall have then the Wife's interest with him in the world in all good things together with his personal presence as we doubt not afterwards to manifest c. 3. As God will put all things under Christ in subjection to him then for we do not yet see it saith the Apostle Heb. 2.8 viz. in the present state of things So the Restitution of all things shall then be effected for the personal enjoyment thereof both by him and them in that same state Rev. 21.5 4. As God eternally decreed to set his King Christ then as the Son of David God-man upon his holy Hill of Sion wherein and whereby the excellency of all the former shall be compleated in the world notwithstanding all the vain things which the Gentiles and Kings of the Earth have or do or shall imagin to the contrary until that time Psal 2.1 2 c. So the suffering Saints shall then rise and reign with him 1000 years Rev. 20.4 6. and also the Heathen shall then be given to him for his Inheritance and the uttermost parts of the Earth for his Possession as follows in that second Psalm 2. Because all the promised Mercies and Covenants particularly made in time successively unto the Fathers and unto their spiritual seed do refer to that state of the personal Reign of Christ the said 1000 years as his own most Divine Revelation explains them as to the main and principal matter or thing to be carryed on then for Christ and his said Saints in that world shortly to come wherein all other are contained c. which by the ensuing particulars with sundry others may appear 1. That Prediction of breaking the Serpents head for the removing of evil in Gods first and most comprehensively gracious Declaration Gen. 3.15 to be eminently then performed by Christ when comeing from the right hand of the Father his Foes shall be made his footstool as Psal 110.1 according to Enochs Vision of Christs great day of Judgment in the Old World and Daniels of the same in the New world to whom the time thereof was more explicitly revealed viz. when he comes in the Clouds of Heaven all foreshewing the same time and comeing with Rev. 1.7 foreshown again to be executed in its order Rev. â—9 11 when he will not only destroy the Beasts but also the Turk with him Ezek. 39.8
