A47066	Even lero'sh pina, The Jevv turned Christian, or, The corner-stone wherein is an assertion of Christ being the true Messiah / by John Jacob, formerly a Jew, but now turned a Christian.	Jacob, John, 17th cent.	1679 (1679)	Wing J98; ESTC R5620	15,760	42

at that time Christ came nor had they lost their priviledg of Superiority until he came and had performed his message in the world for which he was sent from above 2. It is observable That Josephus a Jewish Historian writes That until the desolation of the City in the place of the meeting of the great Sanhedrim there was a material Scepter made of Gold hanging in the midst of their Congregation So that if they will take a Scepter considered either materially or formally it was not departed from Juda until Shiloh came which is Christ our blessed Saviour a King of all kings and a Lord of lords who doth rule his spiritual Israel with a spirit of meekness until he shall give over his Kingdom to his Father 2. The second Argument is in the Prophecy of Haggai Chap. 2.6 7 9 Thus saith the Lord yet once it is a little while and I will shake the heavens and the earth the sea and the dry land and I will shake all nations and the desire of all nations shall come and I will fill this house with glory saith the Lord of hosts the glory of this latter house shall be greater than the former saith the Lord of hosts We know very well the magnificence of the Temple of Solomon was greater not only in respect of its pompous buildings but also in respect of the things contained in it and yet the Lord saith The glory of this latter House shall be greater than the former there was wanting the Ark of the Covenant the Vrim and Thummim the extraordinary revelations were ceased the fire from Heaven was gone and the Tables of the Law were lost and the structure it self by a great deal was not to be compared with the Temple of Solomon which was at last utterly destroyed and abolished Where is then the fulfilling of that Prophecy Surely we can find it in nothing else besides in that that the true Messiah himself appeared in the flesh and entred into the Temple according to the promise Mal. 3.1 And the Lord whom you seek shall suddenly come to his Temple he who is the desire of all Nations And so the glory of the second Temple was greater than the glory of the first in as much as created things are far below the Creator himself whose extraordinary appearance added more to the price and estimation of the second Temple than all Gold and Silver could do to the Temple of Solomon The Jews themselves do not deny these words to have been said of the Messiah and that his coming should be the cause of that extraordinary glory of the Temple if so why do not they believe that the Messiah is come already being the Temple is destroyed utterly Their exception is that namely those words are to be understood of a third Temple which is to be builded but it is of no value being the words are so plain and evident that they cannot be perverted into any other sense or meaning but that which I have proposed The glory of this latter house as pointing with a finger at it shall be greater and in the 3d Verse of the said Chapter saith the Lord Who is left among you who saw this house in her first glory and how do you see it now is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing There he compareth this last House with the first and of this last House which the Elders saw with their eyes the Lord saith The glory of this latter c. Those dreams which they have about building a third Temple taken out of Jacobs sleeping sweetly and dreaming at Bethel are not to be considered and so I will pass them by with silence The third Argument is out of the Prophecy of Micah Chap. 5.2 But thou Bethlehem Ephratah though thou be little among the thousands of Judah yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel whose goings forth have been from old from everlasting Which words do not only shew the nature and condition of the Messiah but also the place where he should be born Touching his nature I will write of it afterwards but as for the place where he should be born it is Bethlehem Ephratah Now this City is gone and turned into Ashes therefore it must needs follow that either the Messiah is come into the World many hundred years ago or else this Prediction or Prophecy is false But to ascribe falseness to the Spirit of God who is the Spirit of Truth is only of that stubborn people that sin against him which are Jews therefore my conclusion must be true that the Messiah is come 4. The fourth Argument is in Daniel Chap. 9.24 25 26 27 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city to finish the transgression and to make an end of sins and to make reconciliation for iniquity and to bring in everlasting righteousness and to seal up the vision and the prophecy and to anoint the most holy Know therefore and understand that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and build Jerusalem unto Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks and threescore and two weeks the street shall be built again and the wall even in troublesom times And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off but not for himself and the people of the Prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary and the end thereof shall be with a flood and unto the end of the war desolations are determined and he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and oblations to cease Here in these words is determined the time of the Messiah his coming and of his suffering and after that should follow his death In short By those Seventy weeks vers 24 are understood 490 years because a prophetical day is taken for a year according to the phrase of the Spirit Lev. 25.8 The former sum of 490 years is distributed into 7 weeks and 25 or 49 years and into 62 weeks or 434 years into a week or 7 years The events of the 49 years are handled in 25. The events of the 434 are mentioned in 26 the 7 weeks restore and re-edifie Jerusalem the 62 weeks bring in the Messiah and stretch towards the end of his private life and the last week finisheth the sacrifice of the Lord and begins both the calling of the Gentiles and the rejection of the Jews The 49 years are the term from the first of Cyrus to the sixth of Darius Longhand second Son to Darius Hystaspis by Hester in whose sixth year the Temple was built the which being begun in the third year of Cyrus was 46 years a-building according to the Jews account The which time some do reckon thus Cyrus and Cambyses 9 Darius Hystaspis 14 Xerxes 20 and Darius or as others Artaxerxes Longimanus 6 the which computation I take
