A29711	The temple opened, or, The great mystery of the millennium and the first resurrection revealed and found to be different from all the accounts that have been given thereof by any who have hitherto wrote on the same subject : more fully and plainly opening the nature of the death humbly presented to the King and Parliament by Thomas Brookhouse.

and Graces upon his Master-Builders whom he employs in the Work But it is plain that this Building is to be Material and therefore requires a Man upon Earth to do it I am no Theologue and if I should be mistaken may be excused but I cannot remember that the NAME of Branch is attributed peculiarly to Christ any where else in the Bible The Angel saith His Name shall be called Jesus and in another place 't is said His Name shall be called Emanuel God with us and Wonderful Counsellor c. This Text points directly to the Mans NAME and to the Manner and Circumstance of his Rising It saith He shall rise out of his Place implying an Ascent to Honour David rose out of his Place being but a Shepherd and he overthrew the Philistines and all the Enemies of God's Church round about And Zerubbabel rose out of his Place being but a Thresher and he cast down Baal's Worship and overthrew the Midianites and settled the People of God in Peace This Man the Branch if he could be found must be attended with the like Circumstances because there is the same business to be done The Baalitish or Babylonish Worship is to be thrown down and the Philistines and all other Enemies of God's Church to be overcome The Kingdoms of this World becoming the Kingdoms of the Lord and of his Christ Christ finds the World in great Confusion and his Church much oppressed and therefore wants a Man to overturn his Enemies and to Deliver his Church from Oppression Therefore he raises some Man or other out of his Place to perform this as God did Zerubbabel and David of old Now there is a Man risen out of his place and is already performing this Great Work on Him Christ has delegated the First Fruits of his Power in his Millennian Kingdom He also rose out of his Place in another sence being a Posthume His Appellation is also from a thing that grows out of the Earth or out of its place And so it is ordained that He who should be the first Introducer of the Millennian Kingdom should not have his Name from a Fierce Ravenous Creature by which Beastly Emblems all the preceding Monarchies were represented but from a Tree A Tree next to the Olive Tree the only Emblem of Peace and Prosperity in the World For the nature of it is such that it has always Fruit upon it either New or Old and often both together This happy Emblem is chosen to represent to us the most flourishing and happy State of the Millennium and possibly that this Nation shall never want one to sit upon his Throne After the cutting down our Harvest and the Termination of the Old Powers Saul was our first King who though under great Obligations did nothing the last was only an Intercalation But this seems to be our David that must do the Work Now I have brought the Monarchy to a Tree it will be needless to enlarge more upon the Name of Branch The First Head of the Fifth or Western Monarchy ought to be a great Hunter to drive the wild Boar out of the Vineyard and chace the Lions the Leopards and Bears out of the Forrest that the Flocks of God may feed and lie down in safety Hitherto these Beasts of Prey have made sad Desolation and Havock vock amongst the Lords Heritage Constantine once drove them out but they came in Agatn But Now the Promise is They shall not live Again Great God when will this Great Battel come But come it certainly will and then these Beasts shall be for ever driven out Daniel saith The rest of the Beasts had their DOMINION taken away That is they were civilly kill'd The last Tyrannical Scene of Lions Leopards and Bears being withdrawn the next is A Fair and Beautiful Forrest and this comes of course There are now no Inhabitants in the Forrest of the World but Trees the wild Beasts had driven out the Flocks before and now They Themselves being driven out the Trees only are left The Millennium enters of course and a Beautiful Forrest is the first Scene And then the first Tree that appears which is to have the chief Dominion is The Meinreb or Vitis The Second is The Pomerancenbaum or Malus Assyria one is to be the Adminiculum or Pedimentum to the other This last with its Golden Fruit introduces the Golden Age. This in behalf of the Vine is made the first King of the Trees This has a preference to all the Trees in the Forrest and has the First Commission of Power granted him from the Sovereign Lord in Chief in the First Resurrection of Power Which Tree may next be preferred I cannot tell All Power being Christs He chooses whom he pleases But this I can tell The last in Succession when Satan is loosed must be some Vile Bramble only fit to be burnt because suggested by Satan he attempts a Rape upon the Spouse of Christ the beloved City So he and his fellow Brambles are all burn'd with Fire from Heaven And in all probability this New and Last Aera will hold Analogy to the last Expired Monarchies We shall have the Best Trees first and the worst at last as is intimated by Nebuchadnezzar's Image Whose Head was of fine Gold his Brest and his Arms of Silver his Belly and his Thighs of Brass his Legs of Iron his Feet part of Iron and part of Clay And if Men should object against this New Emblem of Power They ought to consider the Old Tree of Monarchy being cut down a New One ought to grow in its Room The Beastly Monarchies Expiring and the Kingdom of the Forrest Entering the Powers Civil and Ecclesiastical are no more to go under the Emblem of Beasts of Prey but of Trees whose Leaves are for Shade and Protection and Fruit for Profit and Delight and therefore most proper to represent the most Glorious Reign of the Millennium all whose Officers shall be Peace and Exactors Righteousness But the old Tree being cut down and the Stump left in the Ground there must be some time allowed for another Tree to grow up and before it can be a Tree it must first be a zweig a Surculus in English a Branch The Old Vine the Old Church or Old Tree of Life and Power of the Gospel has been cut down as also the Old Tree of Power or Monarchy and two New Branches sprouts out These Two Branches grow up together the latter being the support and strength of the former which is tender and weak and needs Assistance All the World knows the Nature of a young Vine And this leads me to the understanding of two Texts which has been hid from Ages but now Revealed to the Glory of God in due time Jer. 23. 5. Behold the Days come saith the Lord that I will raise unto David a Righteous BRANCH And a King shall reign and prosper and shall execute Judgment and Justice upon Earth In his Days Judah shall be
