the breasts of Kings and thou shalt know that I the Lord am thy Saviour and Redeemer the Mighty one of Jacob. And in the 49. chap. at the 22. ver and the 25. at the 6. ver Thus saith the Lord God Behold I will lift up my hand to the Gentiles and set up my Standerd to the people and they shall bring thy Sonnes in their armes and thy daughters shall be carryed upon their shoulders And Kings shall be thy nursing Fathers and their Queenes thy noursing Mothers they shall bow downe to thee with their faces towards the earth and licke up the dust of thy feet and thou shalt know that I am the Lord for they shall not be ashamed that waite for me And in this Mountaine shall the Lord of Hostes make unto all people a feast of fat things a feast of Wines on the Lees of fat things full of marrow of Wines on the Lees well refined And he will destroy in this mountaine the face of the covering cast over all people and the vaile that is spread over all Nations He will swallow up death in victory and the Lord will wipe away teares from off all faces and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth for the Lord hath spoken it And in his 14. chap. at the 1. ver The Lord will have mercy upon Jacob and will (r) Dan 7. v. 18.22.27 yet chuse Israel and set them in their owne Land and the (s) Isa 55. v 5. Zech. 2. v. 9.11 strangers shall be joyned with them and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob and the people shal take them and bring them to their place and the House of Israel shall possesse them in the Land of the Lord for servants and for hand-maides and they shall take them (t) Ezek. 39 v. 10. captives whose captives they were and they shall rule over their oppressours And in chap. 2. ver 2. It shal come to passe in the last dayes that the mountaine of the Lords house shall be established in the top of the mountaines shal be exalted above the hils and al Nations shal flow unto it And many people shal go and say come ye and let us go up to the mountaine of the Lord to the house of the God of Jacob and he will (u) Isa 49. v. 6. cha 60. v. 3. 1 Tim. 2. v. 4. teach us of his wayes and we will walk in his paths for out of Zion shall goe forth the Law and the Word of the Lord from Jerusalem And hee shall judge among the Nations and shall rebuke many people and they shall breake their swords into plow shares and their speares into pruning hookes Nation shall not (w) Psal 46 v. 9. lift up sword against Nation neither shall they learne warre any more The same Prophecy also you may finde it the 4. chap. of Mic●l● at the 1. ver And not much unlike this is that in the 8. chap. of Zech. at the 20. ver And that in the 14. chap. at the 16. ver Thus saith the Lord of Hostes it shall come to passe th●● there shall come people and the inhabitants of many Cities and the inhabitants ●●done City shall goe to another saying Let us got speedily to pray before the Lord of Hostes I will go●●l●o Yea many people and strong Nations shall come to seeke the Lord of Hostes in Jerusalem and to pray before the Lord. Thus faith the Lord of Hostes in those dayes it shall come to passe that ten men shall taketh old out of all languages of the Nations even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew saying We will goe with you for we have heard that God is with you And in shall come to passe that every one that is lest of all the Nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go● up from year● to yeare to worship the King the Lord of Hostes and to keepe ●nd fo●st of Tabernacles And it shall be that who so will not come up of all the Families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King the Lord of Hostes even upon them shall be no raine I know the most of these Prophecies are chiefly interpreted of the joyning together of the Jewes Gentiles in one Church and rightly but to say that this is now fulfilled in the time of the substituted Gentiles Vocation is to overthrow what was before affirmed and to take great paines to beguile our selves and others of the Truth It is I say to put out our owne eyes and bid others follow us For Saint Paul in the 11. of the Rom. tells us plainely that the Jewes are broken off from their Olive Ver. 19 20. v. 17. v. 15. v. 7. v. 32. ver 11. And that we are graffed in for them That they are cast away that they are hardned That God hath concluded them all in unbeleefe And that through their fall salvation is come unto us to provoke them to (x) Deu. 32 v. 21. jealousie And therefore it cannot possibly be maintained that the Jewes and Gentiles are as yet (y) Ioh. 10. v. 16. one sheepefold And as for those which were converted at the first Preaching of the Gospell and at other times since they are but the first fruites and roote as I may say of the branches and lumpe which shall follow after them by a generall conversion And therefore the calling of these can no more be accounted a conversion of the Jewes then the calling of those Gentiles which were gathered to the Church before Christs Nativity can be taken for the conversion of the Gentiles Who were as time hath shewne us but the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the fore-runners and pledge as it were of al those Nations which were a long time after converted by the Ministery of the Apostles their successors And besides how the bringing of the Jews out of all Nations Vpon Horses in Litters and in Charets upon Mules upon mens shoulders can beare any other but a literal sense Or how The vaile that is spread over all Nation● can now be said to be destroyed when as so many of them run a whoring after their owne inventions I cannot conceive Yea Even unto this day saith Saint Paul of the Jews in his time when Moses is read the vaile is upon their heart Neverthelesse when it shall turne unto the Lord the vaile shall be taken away 2 Cor. 3.15 and 16. ver But we see not yet Israel returned yea we see it fallen into more grosse ignorance and superstition and therefore the vaile is not yet taken away and consequently is not yet Destroyed from all Nations Againe I know no reason why we should give more credit to the Metaphoricall interpretation of these Prophecies then to the Figurative exposition which some presume to put upon those words in the 12. of Zechariah at the 10. ver Although Saint John in his 19. Chap. at the
2. cap. 16. p. 410. reasons which Wendelinus in the 19. chap. and 2. Section of his naturall Contemplations at the 391. pag. brings to the contrary will give abundant satisfaction For first the Apostle doth apparently distinguish the Jewes from the Gentiles by the word Israel when he saith that blindnesse is in part happened to Israel untill the fulnesse of the Gentiles be come in And therefore I much doubt whether he would in the very next line by the same word indifferently comprehend both Jewes and Gentiles especially seeing the Israel that is to be saved must needes have relation to the Israel that was before said to be in blindnesse And then too what is become of the mystery here spoken of if the words And so all Israel shall be saved should not signifie such a conversion of the Jewes as must follow the vocation of the Gentiles for that some particular Jewes were at that time to be gathered to the Church they knew before seeing many such were then amongst them some of which did first conveigh the Gospell to them And therfore in my judgement those Divines deale most sincerely with the Text who acknowledging the literall sense thereof doe send us to that of Isaiah in his 66. chap. at the 8. ver as to a plaine proofe of this opinion who saith he hath heard such a thing who hath seene such things shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day (l) Zech. 3. v. 9. or shall a Nation be borne at once for as soone as Zion travailed she brought forth her children Where the wonderfull and unheard of conversion of a whole Nation at once such as never happened to any Nation of the Gentiles together with the expresse mention of Zion and the evidence of the following verses should me thinks be motive enough to make any impartiall Reader understand this Prophecy of the Jewes which yet implyes not so much a returne of the whole Nation to their Country as to their God and therefore could not be fulfilled by the returne of a part of them from Babylon at which time too the Kingdome of God that is the true worship of God the meanes by which that Kingdome is obtained was amongst them onely but hath since according to our Saviours Prophecy in the 21. chap. of Matth. at the 43. ver beene taken from them and shall againe according to this be suddenly and extraordinarily restored into them as Joel also before intimated by the plentifull distribution of Gods Spirit in the last dayes 2. That the surviving and subjected Gentiles shall gladly embrace the knowledge and sea●e of God with the Jewes You have hitherto heard of the deliverance and happinesse of the Jewes only I shall now acquaint you with their partakers which shall be such as are left of the Nations that are then to be destroyed as you may see in the fore-quoted chap. of Isai at the 15. and 19. verses Behold the Lord will come with fire and with his Charets like a whirlewind to render his anger with fury and his rebuke with flames of fire for by (m) Ezek. 39. v. 4 5 6 c. Mal. 4. v. 1. Psal 50 v. 3 2 Thess 1.1.7 8. c. fire and by his sword will the Lord plead with all flesh and the slaine of the Lord shall be many And I will set a signe among them and I will send those that escape of them unto the Nations to Tarshish Pul and Lud that draw the bow to Tuball and Javan to the Isles afarre off that have not heard my fame neither have seene my glory and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles And they shall bring all your Brethren for an offering (n) Isa 18. v. 7. unto the Lord out of all Nations upon Horses and in Charets and in Litters and upon Mules and upon swift beastes to my holy mountaine Jerusalem saith the Lord as the children of Israel bring an offering in a cleane vessell into the House of the Lord. And I will also take of them for Priests and for Levites saith the Lord. For as the new Heavens and the new Earth which I will make to wit at the judgement of the dead when this Heaven and Earth shall passe away as it is in the 20. of the Rev. at the 11. ver and in the 21. at the 1. ver as these shall remaine before me saith the Lord so shall your seed and your name remaine to wit after the foresaid returne from their captivity And it shall come to passe that from one New Moone to another and from one Sabbath to another shall all flesh come to (o) Psal 68 u. 29.31 Psal 100. v. 1.2 4. worship before me saith the Lord and they shall goe forth and looke upon the carkeises of the men that have transgressed against me for their worme shall not dye neither shall their fire be quenched and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh And in his 60. chap. at the 9. ver and the 61. at the 4. ver They shall (p) I●a 53. v. 12. build the old wastes they shall raise up the former desolations and they shall repaire the waste Cities the desolations of many generations And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks and the sonnes of the alient shall be your Plough-men and your Vine-dressers But ye shall be named the Priests of the Lord Men shall call you the Ministers of your God ye shall eate the riches of the Gentiles and in their glory shall you boast your selves For your shame you shall have double and for confusion they shall rejoyce in their portion therefore in their Land they shall possesse the double everlasting joy shall be unto them Surely the Isles shall waite for me and the Ships of Tarshish first to bring my Sonnes from farre their silver and their gold with them unto the name of the Lord thy God and to the Holy One of Israel because he hath glorifyed thee And the Sonnes of Strangers shall build up thy wals and their Kings shall minister unto thee For in my wrath I smote thee but in my favour have I had mercy on thee Therefore thy gates shall be open continually they shall not be shut day nor night that men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles and that their Kings may be brought For the (q) Ier. 12. v. 14 15 16 17. Nation and Kingdome that will not serve thee shall perish yea those Nations shall be utterly wasted The sonnes also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves downe at the soles of thy feete and they shall call thee the City of the Lord the Zion of the Holy One of Israel Whereas thou hast beene forsaken and hated so that no man went thorow thee I will make thee an eternall excellency a joy of many generations Thou shalt also sucke the milke of the Gentiles and shalt sucke
