A52084 Two sorts of latter days, proved from Scripture. First, the latter days of perilous times, the which are to be ended before the great and glorious latter days have their beginning. Proved when the elder people or nation is to serve the younger. And by that servitude made blessed. The old and new testament made to agree. And truth vindicated against all heresies. By M. Marsin Marsin, M. 1699 (1699) Wing M813E; ESTC R223742 30,711 48

food by Hunting so this World Hunts and Labours for their food But Jacob was a smooth Man representing the Time or World to come in which time there will be Smoothness and calmness with all serenity and Provision in abundance without Hunting for Concerning the Servitude BUt as for the Servitude the Lord had determined for the Elder World before the Children had done good or evil In that Servitude they will be more Blessed than ever they would have been without it For God promised Abraham that in him all the Families of the Earth should be Blessed Gen. 12.3 Gen. 18.18 Gen. 22.17 18. Gen. 26.4 Which is by Christ and partly made good at Christ's first coming by the publication of the Gospel by which many of the Nations embraced the Faith by laying hold of the common Salvation wich is therein tendred Jude 2. For Christ tasted Death for every Man Heb. 2.9 Heb. 5.9 John 3.16 1 John 2.2 In which common Salvation I neither mean the elect remnant that was chosen from among Israel unto whom Christ promised to be with to the end of the World Nor the People that God at the first visiting the Gentiles did take out from among them for his Name Acts 15.14 The which People then received the Holy Ghost to be in them that they might be a light to the World And that the World through them might believe or know that God had sent Christ John 17.23 That thereby the Nations might take hold of the offered Mercy which accordingly they did Colos 1.6 and so became the Seed of Abraham And whilst they walkt in the stops of the Faith of Abraham Rom. 4.12 They were heirs to Israels promises and that by Christ who was of the Lyon of the Tribe of Judah And set forth as a propitiation through Faith in his Blood for the remission of Sins that are past Rom. 3.25 to all them that then believed according to the tender of his Grace Therefore they then concluded upon the publication of the Gospel or of a Sinners resigning himself to Christ to serve him that a Man was justified by Faith without the deeds of the Law Chap. 3.26 27 28. But in the Faith that they were to believe were included the deeds of the Law For it is required they should walk according to it for they are to be Judged by it Rom. 2.13 For the Lord will render to every Man according to his deeds when Judged Chap. 2.5 6 7 8 9. And Christ is become the Author of eternal Salvation to all them that obey him Heb 5.9 And walk before God with a perfect Heart as Abraham did Gen. 26.5 Gen. 17.1 And like him expect the promised Reward in the way of their obedience And whilst the Gentiles that had embrac'd the Faith walk'd in his steps they were Heirs to the promises and it is such will be partakers of the Glory promised in time to come The which time will be the time of Christ's Kingdom And then all the Families of the Earth will be Blessed in Abraham and his Seed For after the Lord has avenged himself of his Enemies which Enemies are those who regard not the Counsel of the Lord and will have none of his Reproof against these he will spend his Arrows And then God calls to the Nations to rejoyce with his People Deut. 32.42 43. For then all the Nations that are given to be Israel's Servants will have cause to rejoice in that they will then be made blessed thereby when all those of Mount-Seir and Idumea who through unbelief of the Promise made to Israel boast themselves and deny the Time or World to come in which the Lord will make his Promises good And through Covetousness of this present evil world they like Esau sell their Birth-right for this world's Morsel And it is these Edomites shall be made desolate when the whole Earth rejoyceth Ezek. 35.12 13 14 15. Now Esau was but termed Edom upon the desiring the Pottage for which Pottage be sold his Birth-right Gen. 25.31 32 33. As not believing the Promises which God made to Abraham as relating to this time nor that which is to come unto which the promised Blessedness belongs For if he had believed the Promises he would not have said If I dye for Hunger what profit shall this Birth-right do me And it was through Unbelief of a future slate made him unwilling to encounter with Difficulties and therefore sold his Birth-right to which the Blessing was annext For which afterward when he would have inherited the Blessing he was rejected Heb. 12.17 And had not Jacob known the advantage that was to be had by the Birth-right he would not have desired it from him For had not the Blessing gone with the Birth-right Jacob had been in a far better condition without it for then he had purchased the Servitude with the Birth-right But Isaac Rebecca and Jacob well knew that it was the Elder People Nation or World that was to serve the Younger And as Esau through unbelief disinherited himself so the Seed of Jacob by their disobedience and unbelief have in this time disinherited themselves Yet in the time to come the Seed of Jacob will have the promised Blessing with whom the true Believer will come in Heir with And in this time the Covenant which God made with the Seed of Jacob was such that others might take hold of it Strangers as well as Israel Deut. 29.14 15. So that the natural seed of Esau were not excluded from it as many as would come in according to the condition of the Covenant might be Heirs with Israel in time to come And Esau's Seed knowing the Covenant of the Lord and they not joining with Israel in the true Worship they were more inexcusable than the rest of the Nations For the true God was the God of their Fathers But in the time to come the unborn Posterity of Esau then cannot come in Heirs with Israel Neither any of this World can partake of Israel's Promises in time to come but those that come in Heirs with Israel in this time Jacob's Blessing THe Blessing wherewith Isaac blessed Jacob as relating to him and his Seed the which had not only Reference to this Time or World but much more to that which is to come For unto him he pronounced the Words of God to Abraham Gen. 12.3 I will bless them that bless thee and curse him that curseth thee For in the Blessing Isaac said to Jacob Gen. 28.29 God give thee of the Dew of Heaven and the Fatness of the Earth and plenty of Corn and Wine Let People serve thee and Nations bow down to thee be Lord over thy Brethren and let thy Mother's Sons bow down to thee cursed be every one that curseth thee and blessed be he that blesseth thee This Blessing as I said before must needs have its chief reference to the Generations of Israel's Children in time to come Psal 102.18 19. Psal 22.30 31. Psal 24.6 Deut.
30.5 6 7. Deut. 32.43 Jer. 32.39 40 41. But as to the Blessing with which Isaac Blessed Esau and his Seed in which he had therein his reference to the time of this World and not to the time of that which is to come Gen. 27.39 40. For Isaac his Father said behold thy dwelling sh●ll be the fatness of the Earth and the dew of Heaven from above And by thy Sword shalt thou live and shalt serve thy Brother and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion that thou shalt break his Yoke from off thy Neck The which Yoke was to be broken off in this time according as we see it has been But in time to come it cannot be For then the Nation and Kingdom that will not serve Israel shall perish yea those Nations shall be utterly wasted Isa 60.12 For then no Weapon formed against Israel shall prosper Isa 54.17 And God sayeth to them vers 7.8 For a small moment have I forsaken thee but with great Mercies will I gather thee In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee saith the Lord thy Redeemer For as God hath sworn that the Waters of Noah should no more go over the Earth so hath he sworn that he would not be wroth with thee nor rebuke thee vers 9. The which is when again reconciled But Esau weeping so bitterly for the loss of the Blessing that Isaac said nothing to him concerning the time to come but rather chose to comfort him concerning this time in which he should break his Brother's Yoke from off him But all in this time that come in Heirs with Israel by Abraham's Faith become the Seed of Abraham And so the unbelievers through their unbelief become the Seed of Esau or Edom For now all being reckoned as Esau or Edom that know the Will of God and will not live in obedience to it through unbelief of the promises and so such part with the Glory promised for this Worlds morsel like Esau for which he was termed prophane Heb. 12.16 17. But the belief of the promised reward carried the worthies of Old through all difficulties Heb. 11.12 So as they hoped against hope as Abraham did for his promised Son Rom. 4.18 So the Christians should have continued hoping for the return of the Lord according to the promises in the Old and New Testament both being given as Ground to Build our Faith upon But when the Gentile Christians thought the Lord delayed his coming then they began to grow weary of waiting for the return of the Lord and the performance of the promises that will be made good by him in time to come The which when they believed not they resolved to make as much advantage of the present time as they could And so all such part with the promised reward for this Worlds morsel And therefore are termed Edom Mount Seir and all Idumea Ezek. 35.12 13 14 15. And the Roman and Turkish Esau or Edom hath been more cruel inveterate to the Saints and People of God and especially the evil Servant that beat his Fellow Servants than ever the Esau that came of the Loyns of Jacob was or could be And it was against this Esau which the Lord declares his hatred to in Malachy That being a Prophesie that related to the time to come And therefore the Lord speaking of things that are to come as tho' they were already done saith Chap. 1.3 And I hated Esau and laid his Mountains and his Heritage wast for the Dragons of the Wilderness This is the same Edom Prophesied of Ezek. 35.15 And Isa 34.4 5 6. And it is the same People spoke of Joel 3.13 14 15 16. And in several other places which will be then Judged and these People of Esau will be destroyed when the Lord comes again and then their Mountains will be laid wast for the Dragons of the Wilderness And some part of it will remain as burning Lakes as a remark of God's sore displeasure against Sin For which they are termed the People of God's curse Isa 34.5.10 Isa 24.5 6. But again concerning this Edom spoken of Mal. 1.4 Whereas Edom saith we are impoverished but we will return and build the desolate Places Thus saith the Lord of Hosts they shall build but I will throw down and they shall call them the border of Wickedness and the People against whom the Lord hath indignation for ever This is a Prophesie spoken of the ever of the time to come And then as in the 5 vers Israel's Eyes shall see and they shall say the Lord will be magnified from the Borders of Israel But some may say how can the Edomites after they are destroyed and their Mountains laid wast say they will return and Build their desolate places if this in the 4th vers be spoken for the time to come This is spoken of the Children of this Esau or Edom which when the Lord comes will be spared when their Parents for their unbelief and disobedience will be cut off for the Lord saith Jer. 49.10 There speaking of Esau and of the Lord 's making of him bare saith in the 11 vers Leave thy Fatherless Children I will preserve them alive and let thy Widows trust in me These Widows do plainly appear to be those that are deceived by false Teachers but not otherwise wilfully Wicked For when the Rams and He-Goats are Judged that have one Pasture to partake of 'T is the He-Goats for treading down the good Pastures and fouling of the deep Waters will then be Condemned Ezek. 34.10 17 18. And therefore then their Widows are spared And these Children which the Lord saith he will preserve alive God declares how he will dispose of them Joel 3.8 Which is that they shall be sold to the Sabeans from whence when they are again multiplyed they may return to Build their disolate Places But God having declared they should lie wast therefore they disobey in their returning to Build them and they proving disobedient as well as their Predecessors are called the Border of Wickedness And as God loved Israel for Abraham's sake because he obeyed the voice of God and kept his charge his Commandments his Statutes and his Laws Gen. 26.4 5. Therefore God made to Abraham and his Seed those great and Blessed promises for the time to come And for the wickedness of this Esau-Generation God hath more disregard to their Offspring in time to come than to all the rest of the Nations For Christ in this time having broken down the partion-wall between Jew and Gentile Ephes 2.14 So as these might have come in to the everlasting inheritance in time to come until they came to have no love to the Truth 2 Thes 10 11. And the first Christians embraced the true Faith but some Hundred Years after they fell from the Truth and trausgressed the Laws changed the Ordinances and broke the everlasting
