their Judges their Kings and Prophets Look therefore to the Verses before and Moses is Prophecying of their State hereafter that they would Sin and God would scatter them and then gather them after from all Nations and bring them to the Land which their Fathers possessed speaking this before they came into Possession and in that State it is he promises this Circumcision of their Heart so as they shall love him with the whole of it and live and fall no more from him Let us come from Moses to the Prophets see Ezek. 11.19 20. I will give them one heart and put a new Spirit in them and I will take away the stony heart that they may walk in my Ordinances and they shall be my People and I will be their God Here is the Promise but to whom Why all the whole House of Israel wholly are they v. 15. Even the scattered afar off among the Countries v. 16. And when is it to be fulfilled I will gather you from the People and assemble you out of the Countries where you have been scattered and I will give you the Land of Israel v. 17. Likewise in Chap. 36. v. 22. to 28. Say to the House of Israel O House of Israel I will take you from among the Heathen and gather you from all Countries and will bring you to your own Land Then will I sprinkle clean water on you and a new Spirit and take away the heart of stone and cause you to walk in my Statutes and ye shall be my People and I will be your God From Ezekiel let us go to Jeremiah Jer. 32.37 I will gather them the Children of Israel and Judah v. 30. out of all Countries wither I have driven them in my Anger and bring them again to this place I will give them one heart and one way that they may fear me for ever And I will make an everlasting Covenant with them and they shall not depart from me In Hos 2. And it shall be at that day thou shalt call me Ishi v. 16. And in that day I will make a Covenant v. 18. And I will betroth thee for ever v. 19. And it shall come to pass in that day I will hear v. 21. Well! and when is that day Look Jer. 16.14 15. Behold the dayes come saith the Lord that it shall no more be said the Lord liveth that brought up the Children of Israel out of Egypt But the Lord liveth that brought up the Children of Israel from the Land of the North and from all Lands whether he had driven them And I will bring them again into their Land that I gave their Fathers Thus much is apparent that whensoever this new Heart and new Covenant is promised it is peculiar to the Jews upon a Restauration Let us look lastly then into the Hebrews which cites another Text out of Jeremiah Heb. 8 8. Finding fault with them in regard to the first Covenant he saith Behold the days come saith the Lord when I will make a new Covenant with the House of Israel and the House of Judah Not according to that I made with their Fathers in the day that I lead them out of Egypt because they continued not in it and I regarded them not And so goes on to what I have cited in the beginning and more follows to the end Here is a Covenant we see made with the Jews which they brake and God casts them off and here is another which he promises to be made with them that they shall keep and he will cast them off no more and this time it shall be made with them is when he shall gather them from all parts of the World where they are scattered and bring them to their Land again as it is in all the places here mentioned At that time In that day he will give them this new Heart to enter this new Covenant this second Covenant and with them not the second with Mankind which was with us in Adam Fallen after those days saith the Lord. And when was that day Is it past Was it not immediately after the Captivity out of Babylon I judge not for the Jews that returned then were those of Judah only not the scattered of the whole House of Israel and these also in some time grew as bad as their Forefathers filling up their measure as Christ speaks insomuch as they came to Crucifie the Lord of Life himself and there is no Season yet wherein such a Heart hath been given them as in these Texts is promised that they should so Covenant as to break it no more This is certain that since their Sin in Crucifying Christ they have been driven from Jewry and dispersed the World over and the Promise then of gathering them out of all Nations and giving them this new Heart thus to Covenant a new or a second time with the Lord is in all likelihood not yet nor to be accomplished until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled as Christ tells Luke 21.24 And St. Paul Comments it Until the fulness of the Gentiles be come Rom. 11.25 That there is a time of Calling the Jews is not only an ancient Opinion of Justin Martyr and many of those Fathers that were Millenaries but of our Orthodox Divines and it was much upon the Hearts of those called Puritans in their time it being built on those two Texts now mentioned And indeed there are twenty and twenty places in the Prophets that speak of a glorious State of the Jews to come that none can say have yet their Accomplishment And if this Opinion of a time to come of Calling the Jews be good then may we well believe that that will be the time when these Texts and Promise stood upon will be fulfilled When the Conversion of the Gentiles is brought in to the full of what God has determined to whom a thousand years is but as one day then shall be the gathering of the scattered And as it is into the Jews Olive the Gentiles are ingrafted the Jews shall return to that Olive themselves and both become the Church of Christ So that All Israel shall be saved says the Apostle citing for it that of Isaiah There shall come out of Sion a Deliverer and shall turn away Ungodliness from Jacob For this is my Covenant unto them when I shall take away their sins Rom. 11.26 Note it the Covenant called the new Covenant in the Hebrews is to be made with Jacob that is his Posterity at this time when this Prophecy is accomplished and that is plainly at the calling of the Jews Now then from what is said I argue and by virtue of all these Scriptures forecited I do deny that the first Grace Faith and Repentance or the new Heart is a Promise of the Covenant of Grace made with Mankind or with the Elect in Christ because it is a Promise only to the Jews and to come and that at such a time when hereafter God shall gather
