to sound Rev. 10.7 as he hath declared to his Servants the Prophets so that the Prophets are here alledged as the foundation of what ever should be fulfilled from the sounding of the last mystical Trumpet and therefore I conceive this finishing of the Mystery is not only applicaple to the Jews conversion though to that in special yet to all others then to be fulfilled in their their time I rather conceive it includes the completing of all the parts of the great Mystery of Godliness which the Apostle Paul sets forth so particularly in order concerning Christ 1 Tim. 3.16 And without controversie great is the Mystery of Godliness God manifested in the flesh c. he concludes with his receiving up into Glory as signifying that when that state of Christs session at his Fathers right hand was ended all such Scripture Mysteries would end be finished c. the times of Revelation of all things would follow thereupon as well as the times of the restitution of all things when the Temple of God will be open in Heaven and there shall be seen in his Temple the Ark of his Testament Rev. 11. ●9 and saith that same Apostle We know that when he shall appear we shall be like him for we shall see him as he is 1 John 3.2 and it seems upon Christs sitting there he had the Book of Revelation in due time to be made known by his Servant John to the Churches containing the order and temper of all the times ever since to his second coming when this Mystery of God will be finished which the same Apostle there briefly recounteth in order which we shall a little touch upon particularly First God was manifest in the flesh at his first coming which was 4000 years in fulfilling saith Bishop Vsher from the first promise made to Adam and Eve at the fall and carried on all along that time by many confirmations and explications thereof by many Types Prophesies Promises Services and Sacraments till that great accomplishment of them all at his said first coming whereof that late many ways eminent and Reverend person Bishop Brownrig speaketh acurately upon that Text as follows All the Prophets saith he from Samuel and those that followed after as many as have spoken have foretold his coming Acts 3.24 Of this Salvation all the Prophets have enquired and searched diligently He is Abrahams promised Seed Moses his Great Prophet Jacobs Shilo Esays Immanuel Jeremie's Man compassed by a woman Ezechiels Shepherd Daniels Holy One Zechariah's Branch Solomons Lilly David's Lord Malachy's Angel all that prophesied looked at him he is the end and body and substance of all their Rites and Ceremonies He was Abels Sacrifice Abraham's first Fruits Isaac's Ram Jacobs Ladder Moses his Passeover Aarons Rod The Israelites Rock The Patriarchs Manna Davids Tabernacle Solomons Temple all Types and Representations of his Incarnation all their Kings were Figures of this Great King all their Deliverers and Judges Types of this great Saviour all their Priests were Ushers to bring in this High Priest of our Profession all the Mysteries in Scripture serviceable to this Mystery So the time of his coming the place of his birth the Tribe the Progenitors the Person of whom he was born with all things that mainly concerned the excellencie of his Person or the greatness of his humiliation were foretold by the Prophets yea and his exaltation too though the greatest part remains to be fulfilled in his 1000 years reign afterwards Again 2ly Justified saith the Apostle in the Spirit he was powerfully with him from his birth continued with him in his life in his increasing in wisdom and favour with God and men which was observably by his disputing with the Doctors in the Temple at 12 years of age and in the Spirits descending upon him in the shape of a Dove and sitting upon him at his Baptism In his Tentations in the wilderness 40 days in his holy and gracious conversation in his whole life-time in his Divine Doctrine which he taught in his many wonderful Miracles that he wrought in both powerfully declaring him to be the Son of God in fulfilling the whole Law and Prophesies of himself in satisfying fully by his sufferings for mans sin in powerfully raising him from the dead in instructing his Disciples in the forty days after in the things pertaining to the Kingdom of God c. 3ly Seen of Angels proclaimed by them to be the Saviour of all people at his birth attended on by them all his life honoured by them at his Resurrection testifying his coming again at his Ascention Acts 1. And shall also be worshipped by all those Elohim at at his second coming again Heb. 1.6 Psal 97.7 Fourthly Preached unto the Gentiles at their first calling upon the rejection of the Jews when as said the Apostle the sound thereof went into all parts of the world c. which hath been continued for almost 1700 years and will till they that pierced him shall penitently behold him as is hopeful Rev. 1.7 Zech. 12.10 Fifthly Believed on in that world by all Nations none excluded according to his Command to his Apostles to preach the Gospel to every Creature capable of the Grace of God by him therein to be so offered unto all Mark 16.15 And lastly received up into Glory wherein Gods said great Mistery was to be perfected at his coming again viz. when those Mysteries in the Revel will be accomplished that are to precede it and all the other said revealed Mercies then to be fulfilled in their seasons as the Prophets have foretold respecting those times as we said which the Angel Christ there declares should then be finished when the seventh Angel begins to sound c. Chap. 10.7 accordingly the raising up the Tabernacle of David also points out those times prophesied of Amos 9.11 and applied Acts 15.16 remarkably to these very times pointing out Christs Davidical Kingdom in due time to come whereby the great fulness of the Gentiles will come in at the Jews second call when Jews Gentiles will both rejoyce together Upon which we may observe how the Spirit of God inspired the holy Apostle to deliver that greatly useful Divine truths known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world as if especially he would teach that glorious Kingdom of Christ which was to be set up in the end of the world was Gods designe from the beginning for then the Serpents head will be eminently broken and that till then God fills up all times with all his foreknown works because to every purpose there is time and judgment c. as Eccles 8.6 7. whence we should labour to have our thoughts words and actings regular for he hath shewed us what is good Mic. 6.8 then we may be sure the issues of Providence will be good to us which will be a good improvement of that Divine truth and of that occasion of delivering it The threefold consideration of
the Book given unto the Lamb. We might be 〈◊〉 in many particular Promises to this purpose respecting the 〈◊〉 in that time with many excellenties respecting tha● 〈◊〉 as we have specially shewed how concerning Christs Dividid a Kingdom and people then God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy Prophets since the world began as is manifest by the third of our 8 Conving Arguments in the Word written And the great designe of the All knowing and All working God in giving such Prophesies to his Church from the beginning concerning such great things to be fulfilled at the end of the world in that said Great Day of Judgment appears to be made manifest by such Divine Chronology first set down by Moses and other Penmen thereof before the Captivities of Israel and Judah but after that are in their discoveries chiefly carried on by those Mystical Prophesies of those two beloved Servants of God and Christ the Prophet Daniel and the Apostle John but chiefly by the last to whom these hidden secrets of God respecting those times wore particularly as we shewed commisted to open Danichs sealed Mysteries to Ch. 19. and from thence to the end the most antient Predictions and Promises c. when God would raise unto David that righteous Branch that King that shall reign and prosper and execute Judgment and Justice in the earth in whose days Judah shall be saved and Israel shall dwell safely Jer. 23.5 6. when they shall have the Mercies promised to their Forefathers performed to them as Zechary is taught Divinely to sing out and in such a manner he would grant unto them that being delivered from the hand of their enemies they might serve God without fear of them in righteousness and true holiness all the days of then lives Luke 1.7 c. which will be the stability of all the happiness of that state when that New Kingdom of Israel will be restored the Tabernacle of David that was fullen new raised up again for that said righteous Branch which God then said he would then raise unto David for whom with his Bride God will then make New Heavens and a new earth in that new world to come wherein shall be that New great holy and beloved Jerusalem that City that hath foundations whose Maker and Builder is God for those new Inhabitants that came from God out of Heaven and came with Christ to receive their spiritual bodies at the first blessed Resurrection of the Saints where also will be the New Paradise of God Also the converted Jews and Israelites shall then enjoy their New Jerusalem also built upon its own heaps when strangers shall build her Walls as the Prophet foretels upon the return of the Shulamite who instead of Fathers shall have Children whom she may make Princes in all the earth being the Seed then which the Lord hath blessed Esai 61.9 then shall be her new guides and watchmen upon her Walls probably the new raised Saints that shall not hold their peace day nor night new dispensations new peace plenty security new priviledges new pleasures delights in heavenly visions comunion discoveries in the revelation of such things as are appointed then to be known in the restitution of all things promised then to be done as in the forenamed particulars we before set down and the times of these things are chiefly made known in their fit latitudes by Revelation-prophesie for when we read of the coming of Christ at his appearance and Kingdom the times thereof are so set forth as was shewed by Revelation-prophesie We read of the Saints first bodily Resurrection but the time thereof is only deciphered by Revelation Prophesie we heard of raising Davids Tabernacle which was fallen but the time is only pointed out by Revelation prophesie and that the Saints shall receive their sure mercies of David Esa 55.3 but when can only be resolved by Revelation prophesie we read of Gods setting up the Kingdom of the Stone that should destroy all others and it self become a Mountain filling the whole earth but the times and order of his carrying on these great works by Jesus Christ is in the fittest proportion made known to the Church by Revelation-prophesie The Lord said to Davids Lord Sit at my right hand until I make thy foes thy footstool which he hath long expected Heb. 10.13 and the Heavens must receive him till the times of the Restitution of all things but the best resolution of both is to be had from Revelation-prophesie Glorious things are spoken saith the Psalmist of the City of God of the new the holy the great the beloved Jerusalem but what and when and where and for whom we are chiefly informed from Revelation-prophesie We read of the ruine of Gog and Magog the Churches greatest enemies before that City Jehovah Shammah shall be set up but when it shall be we chiefly learn from Daniel and Revelation-prophesie Object But did not Christ reprehend his Disciples Acts 1.6 for inquiring the time of his Kingdom c. Ans Though this and such like hath been sufficiently answered yet know it is only whilst God keeps such things in his own power and in the next Verse he said But ye shall be indued with power which was done about ten days after at the Feast of Pentecost and all that wrote after speak something thereof but chiefly the beloved John And though Christ as man then said he knew not the day and hour of his coming which none now pretend to yet in a fit latitude Christ hath revealed the near approach thereof with many things to be done before very useful for the Church to know and wherein all Saints are greatly concerned which are great mercies in many respects to be known and believed in these later days for which there is great cause of thanksgiving but no reason of cavilling with our mercies or the goodness of the Author of them Thus for the Doctrinal part of this Text wherein we have considered this most gracious Divine Declaration of the set time of such its performance with the glorious illustrations and confirmations thereof and shewed from Scripture wherein it doth consist and the many decipherings of the times of the renovation of all things with Scripture evidences accordingly referring thereunto both manifesting the thing and shewing in a latitude the near approach thereof We shall now by Gods gracious assistance endeavour to make some pertinent improvement thereof 1. We may hence be informed of the many mistakes that have been both of this Text and the Context thereof as respecting the matter time and place thereof the matter not the making new these visible Heavens and earth but the Prophetical Heavens and earth as we have shewed For the time not after the last Resurrection and Judgment but in the interim betwixt the first and last wherein the anciently declared and promised mercies are to be performed to the faithful Fathers and their spiritual Seed through the Promised Seed of the
