Righteousness that all the Nations shall enjoy this Priviledge and Blessing Psal 9. 7 8. with Psal 96. 10 13. and 98. 9. and 82. 8. Arise O God judge the Earth for thou shalt inherit all Nations His inheriting all Nations must be at and after he hath judged the Earth and therefore at and after the Judgement 4. Because the Scripture not only saith it shall be in the times of the new Heavens and new Earth and in and after the Judgment but in that time when the great Transgressours shall be suffering where their Worm shall not die neither shall their Fire be quenched Isa 66. 18 23. 24. In this time it is that all Nations and Tongues shall come and see the Glory of Christ and all Flesh shall come and worship before him and go forth and look upon those in torment and therefore it must be after the Resurrection and Judgment 5. Because this worshipping and serving of the Nations is plainly stated in Scripture to be after they have born their Judgment and that is over and past as Rev. 20. The Judgment is past and over and after that comes the new Heavens and new Earth into which comes down the glorious holy City from God out of Heaven Chap. 21. 12. And after this the Nations worshipping and serving the Lord v. 24 26. and to this agreeth Zeph. 3. 8 9. after the gathering of the Nations and pouring out upon them the Indignation even all the fierce Wrath which sutes with the seven last Plagues in the very terms thereof Rev. 15. 1. in which is filled up the Wrath of God and is to be accomplished at and after Christs appearing in the Judgment that the gathering of the Nations and pouring out of all the fierce Wrath must be Rev. 14. 14-19 20. and after this is over he will turn to the People a pure language that they may all call upon the Name of the Lord to serve him with one consent Zeph. 3. 9. which fully agreeth with Psal 86. 8. and 22. 27. with many other Scriptures to the same effect 6. Because the leaves of the Tree of Life are for the healing of the Nations after the Judgment is over in the eternal Estate Rev. 22. 2 5. and Isa 19. 22. and Ezek. 47. 11 12. which are Prophecies of the same time and state and to which very probably Rev. 22. 2. relateth and therefore it must be after the Judgment 7. Because the promise of the peaceable time and state of the World and of the Kingdom of Christ therein in which Nation shall not lift up Sword against Nation neither shall they learn War any more Isa 2. 4. Mic. 4. 3. Psal 46. 8 9 10. will not be till the thousand Years are expired and the Judgment past Rev. 20. 7 8 9. When the thousand Years are expired the Nations will be in a flame of War therefore the peaceable time promised to the Nations will not cannot be till this is over when they shall learn War no more and in this time and state it is that all Nations shall come and worship therefore after the Judgment is over Isa 2. 2 3. Mic. 4. 5. Psal 46. 10. Mal. 1. 11. 8. Because it 's more than probable that all the Scriptures that promise to Christ an everlasting Kingdom upon the Throne of David do relate to his Kingdom and Raign in the World to come and that too after all his Enemies are subdued and visibly subjected under him which will not be till after the Resurrection and Judgement is over and past 1 Cor. 15. 23 24 25. which expressly relates to Psal 120. 1. and that his right-hand Kingdom on his Fathers Throne Rev. 3. 21. is an intervening Glory as a present reward of his Sufferings and for performance of his Mediatory-office till his own Kingdom take place which will be his highest visible Glory and of which he is in expectation Heb. 10. 13. And hence it likewise appears that the service and worship of the World will not be till this promised Kingdom take place in which all Nations shall serve him Psal 72. 8 9 10 11. It must be when all Enemies are made his Footstool 9. Because as before I said this general Salvation by Christ in the World to come is that which tends so wonderfully to exalt the glory of his Sufferings and Death for the World and the design of God therein The more universal the design was the more of Grace and the more glorious to the name of God and Christ and the narrowing thereof to a few only and all the rest of Mankind with the whole Creation eternally to perish not only contradicts the truth of the whole Volum of the Book of God but wonderfully derogates from the glory of God and Christ designed in this wonderful Undertaking Joh. 13. 30 32. Isa 6. 3. with Joh. 12. 41. Psal 72. 19. 10. Because it 's that in which the Glory of the Kingdom and Raign of Christ in the World to come is so wonderfully concerned for the honour of a King is in the multitude of People Prov. 14. 28. If a King should have a glorious Queen only and have no People no Subjects where would his honour be The Church is and shall be the Lord's Queen the royal and eternal Consort of Christ the King and Lord of Glory Psal 45. 9. Vpon thy right-hand did stand the Queen in the Gold of Ophir It 's true the Queen is a Subject to the King yet above all others with the King and nearest to him as his royal Consort bearing part at least of the honour of Government But if the King have not his other Attendants his Royal Council with multitude of Subjects in variety of degrees where will his honour be So the Lord and King Christ Jesus especially of the new and restored World Zech. 14. 9. who then shall be visibly Lord of Lords and King of Kings Rev. 19. 16. and shall have all things sutable to such a Kingdom yea far surpassing all the Glory of the most glorious Monarchs that ever were in this World as Types of this his Glory yea Solomon the most famous Type of Christ in this his most glorious reign in all his glory came infinitely short of him For first His Church his Spouse yea his then married Wife and Queen Rev. 19. 7. shall keep Court with him in the glorious holy City and shall reign with him for ever Rev. 22. 3 4 5. Secondly The glorious holy Angels shall be his and his Queens Attendants Heb. 1. 6. Rev. 5. 11. for the Church his Wife and Queen shall be united nearer to him by far than the glorious holy Angels Heb. 2. 16. Eph. 5. 30. who shall be his and his Churches Attendants Thirdly All the World shall be raised by him and be his Subjects in various states and degrees and shall worship and serve him as before hath been proved and all as an effect of giving himself a Sacrifice for the Life of the World
People may pretend unto without the testimony of a good Conscience in a holy walk with God and Men they will find no safety therein at last so that being the best way that is most safe and it being most safe to know the danger it 's so accounted in all cases with wise Men the most safe way must needs be most truly comfortable and the other most truly dangerous and in the end uncomfortable VII And further to speak of the Restitution of all things and the World to come which in some Cases I have more largely stated in my Answer to Mr. Cox's in my 7th Chapter And as I do believe the Restitution of all things the new and restored World and the glorious Kingdom and Raign of Christ with his Saints therein mentioned in the conclusion of the second Article so as to the degrees distinctions and times of accomplishing thereof I do believe 1. That it shall extend it self to the recovery of all Mankind from the first Death fallen into by the first Transgression Gen. 3. 17 18 19. Rom. 5. 18. 1 Cor. 15. 22. and all the World out of that Estate it fell into by Mans sin Act. 3. 21. Rom. 8. 19 20 21. Rev. 21. 1 5. 2. That after the Resurrection and Judgment it shall extend to the glorious Salvation of all the Faithful with Christ in his Eternal Kingdom and Glory Joh. 14. 2. Mar. 10. 30. 3. That this Restitution and Glory of the new World in all its parts shall be effected by degrees in the times appointed by the Father Act. 1. 7. and 3. 21. Eph. 1. 10. 4. That at and after the Judgment shall be some kind of degrees of blessing to the Nations in general by the Seed of the Woman that shall break the Serpents head the Seed of Abraham in whom all Nations of the Earth shall be blessed except such as are by the blessed Seed himself excepted Mat. 12. 31 32. Prov. 1. 23 to 33. viz. such as wilfully rebel against the Light and so sin away their share in this Blessedness promised That there shall be some general Blessing for the Nations after they have born their Judgment my Reasons for it are First To prove the Truth Secondly The Time 1. Because the Scripture in express terms saith it That in Abraham's Seed that is in Christ Gal. 3. 16. all the Nations of the Earth shall be blessed Gen. 12. 3. and 22. 18. with many other Scriptures to the same effect Psal 72. 17. Isa 66. 18. Though Believers are the Subjects of the special Blessedness yet that answers not the general terms of the Promises nor argues that none else shall have any blessing in the World to come When the Scripture saith All Nations all the Families all the Kindreds of the Earth shall be blessed in him I shall in this say as Mr. Increase Mather saith on the Mystery of Israels Redemption from Rom. 11. 26. All Israel shall be saved that is all the Tribes of Israel in opposition to those that say It intends a few of all He saith Pag. 5 6. That cannot be the meaning of the Words for the note of universality all Israel will not bear such a particular restrained interpretation Surely the Scripture is not wont to use such harsh improprieties of Speech as to say All when not all but a few only are intended And Pag. 9. All Israel shall be saved that is very many Israelits shall be saved it noteth not only many but most it signifieth not only a majority but a very full and large generality So I say That those large and general Promises to the Nations of Blessedness in Abraham's Seed as All Nations of the Earth all the Families all the Kindreds of the Earth shall be blessed in him extends it self far beyond a few a very few in comparison of all the Nations but it signifieth not only a majority but a very full and large generality and not a few only 2. Because there are many other Promises to the Nations in general as properly arising from and answering to those forementioned Promises to Abraham and are of like import to the Nations to be performed in time extending far beyond the special saved ones and distinct from them as that All Nations that God hath made shall come and worship before him and glorify his Name Psal 86. 8. and that all the ends of the World shall remember turn to the Lord and all the Kindreds of the Nations shall worship before him Psal 22. 27. and 〈◊〉 66. distinct from the Church Ver. 18. It shall come that I will gather all Nations Tongues and they shall come and see my Glory Vers 23. All Flesh shall come and worship before me saith the Lord and this shall be in the time of the new Heavens and new Earth Vers 22. and Mal. 1. 11. From the rising of the Sun unto the going down of the same my Name shall be great among the Gentiles with multitudes of like import in the Prophets that might be mentioned and in the New Testament is the same confirmed as the opening and explaining of the Prophecies in the Old Act. 3. 21. Eph. 1. 10. Phil. 2. 9 10. with Rev. 5. 13. 1 Tim. 4. 10. where it 's exprest for substance in the terms of general and special Salvation God is the Saviour of all Men especially of them that believe 2dly The time when this general blessing to Nations in which they shall worship and serve the Lord and his People shall be i. e. in the World to come at and after the Judgment is over and not before I believe from these Scripture-grounds following which will further confirm the present Truth as stated as likewise the time when it shall be 1. Because that all the Kindreds of the Earth all the Nations that God hath made cannot be capable to be blessed by Christ and to serve and worship him till the Resurrection and Judgment is over for all Nations that God hath made intends all that ever hath been or shall be or else it is not all the Nations that God hath made but all must be raised up and come and worship and serve the Lord and glorify his Name which will not cannot be till after they are raised and have past the Judgment 2. Because it must be in the times of the Restitution of all things in the new and restor'd World that this must be accomplished upon the Nations and therefore not till after the Resurrection and Judgment Isa 66. 18. with verse 22 23. and the new Heavens and new Earth promised will not be till after the dissolution or change of the old 2 Pet. 3. 13. Rev. 21. 1 5. and it 's in this time and state that all the Nations shall worship and serve the Lord and therefore it must be after the Resurrection and Judgment 3. Because the Scripture saith it shall be when the Lord cometh to sit upon his Throne of Judgment to judge the World in
