A52124	A treatise of the new heavens and new earth. Proved to be perpetual and eternal, in that visible state of both, in the restitution, after the destruction of the world by fire. Whereunto is added, a true state of the thousand years-time; proving it to be before the second coming of Christ. As also, the succinct order of things from Christs first appearing in the clouds, unto the eternal state, after the day of judgment. By T.M. a lover of truth.		1680 (1680)	Wing M86; ESTC R221371	14,235	15

more a Kingdom forever Answ This is a mistake of 1 Cor. 15.24.28 which must be understood of the Kingdom as now it is with respect to the present Dispensation and to confirm this Let me Declare a Mystery Which is this upon Mans Fall the Enemies of God increasing Christ as Mediator who was with Moses and the Church of old Heb. 11.26 1 Cor. 10.4 was set up and ruled invisibly over all the World but when he was by his Resurrection declared to be the Son of God with Power and all Power then given him Math. 28.18 When he Ascended and God set him at his own right hand in the Heavenly places Ephes 1.20 It was upon this Account till he makes his Enemies his Footstool So that its clear the whole Reign of Christ now upon his Fathers Throne Rev. 3.21 from his first being sat down thereon till he comes from Heaven is a Subduing Kingdom Only a 1000 years Triumph and then the Enemies break forth again And that by God himself in Honour of his Son Which Honour doubtless is not to be less when all is actually and compleatly subdued to him for that were to lose the end of God in making his Foes his Footstool Only as he owned here on Earth My Father is greater than I John 14.28 So all being subdued to him and he being Man as well as God must still continue under that consideration his inferiority to the Father who is the head of Christ 1 Cor. 11.3 by becoming Subject that God may be all in all Which is very confistent with his retaining the Glory of his Everlasting Kingdom among the Sanctified Sons of Men. Enemies being subdued there needs no further subbduing power or the subduing Kingdom Thus God brings Good out of Evil Israel sinned in d●siring a King but David and other Kings were Biessings to them and Types of this Eternal King For the Restitution as pag. 3. will be augmentative by the Experience of fallen man restored and by the Glory of the Lord from Heaven 1 Cor. 15.44.47.48 And so the Eternal Glory is expressly called a Kingdom What did man in innocency know what Kingdom meant c. But all things according to the purpose of God before time Ephes 1.11 The Conclusion 1. THat no unsanctified Spirits may trouble themselves herewith Psal 50.16 unless they truly resolve to turn God 2. And that none that do belong to God would be discouraged if after refreshing hereby they should find Deadness and Darkness in these things which is no strange thing nor the Truth ever the worse the Author is not quite ignorant of his Devices 2 Car 2.11 and lest such should faint under such Trials let them consider Colos 3.3.4 1 Joh. 3.2 3. If the World so renewed shall be the Saints Let them take the Council of Joseph to Jacob Gen. 46.20 Also regard not your Stuff for the good of all the Land of Egypt is yours Be content in the Faith of this with Food and Rayment 1 Tim. 6.8 Tho like Abraham you have not yet one Foot of Inheritance in the Land of Promise Act. 7.5 Tho Strangers now yet we should look upon the Earth with comfort as our proper Possession hereafter to be Redeemed Eph. 1.14 Rom. 8.20 4. Lay up a good Foundation against this time to come 1 Tim 6.19 i. e. by doing good to others See Math. 25.34.35 Luk. 14.14 Ephes 6.8 The Reward tho not for the good Deed yet will be proportionable to the works of Vertue and Charity see 2 Cor. 9.6 Ten Talents improved redounds to Ten Cities Five Talents to five Cities Luk. 19.17.19 Except what great grace in any will multiply their little as Mark 12.42 43. God is a free Agent and also Just I say there will be Dominion in the World to come Ease what means the Crowns promised 2 Tim. 4.8 1 Cor. 9.25 and a Kingdom Luk. 22.29 And if every Saint shall Reign in Glory much more the King of Saints notwithstanding his delivering up the Kingdom to God and becoming Subject c. which therefore must be understood of his delivering up his Commission to him that had put all things under him That the Humane Nature of Christ as becometh the Creature all the great Works of the Mediator being finishee may acquiess in acknowledging the Superiority of the Divine being Yet shining Gloricusly through God in the Glory of the Mediatorship accomplished in the Love and Glory of the Saints and in all peace and absolute perfection in the Glory of being King in and amongst them and they in him 5. I would have none Oppose themselves in this Doctrine of the New World to think that Heaven is excluded see pag. 9. Heaven will be more appropriate to Man by Christ than it could have been by the first Man Adam 1 Cor. 15.47.50 But as Heaven is superadded so the Earth shall be Restored and therefore the New Heavens and New Earth are very consistent A Confirmation of the Earths Eternal Duration in the State of Eternal Glory 1. THE Body of Man is made of the Dust of the Ground yet made Immortal by putting on Immortality 1 Cor. 15.54 So may the Earth be Eternized by Christ for the Glory and Good of Man 2. He that will restore it from under the Curse can perpetuate that restored State Rev. 22.3 3. God that made it of nothing can much more uphold it forever being made 4. Though the Earth be a material gross body yet the Foundations of it are unsearchable and Divine Job 38.6 yea it hangs upon nothing chap. 26.7 the principle of Nature is confounded here by that adequate poize of this Terrene Globe so that by Divine Artifice it is said to be so laid on the Foundations as not to be removed forever Psal 104.5 And I refer it to consideration whether these be not the Foundations in Heb. 11.10 at least by way of Allusion When all Humane works will turn over to the Foundations in the day of the Lord 2 Pet. 3.10 But the World to come after that is for the Children of the Resurrection Luke 20.35 36. 5. And whereas some say the Earth will be turned into its first Chaos and be a place of Torment yet how would that suit the Notion of a Lake as Hell is called pag. 5. Besides this very Tenet grants the thing For if it be a place of Torment forever then it shall abide forever and that same Divine power that might uphold it as a place of Fire and ●o●●ent can much more preserve it in its Verdure and Glory as a place of Divine Presence Happiness and Glory to the Heirs of Glory FINIS
