3.21 for we cannot ascribe enough to that soul astonishing wonder of Gods so free and gracious giving his only Son so to dye for such sinners to reconcile them to himself yea God was in Christ so reconciling them as saith the Apostle to himself nor of Christs Love and Compassion so to reconcile them to God the Father by his own blood-shedding all which were also carried on by the powerful and glorious operation of the Lord the Spirit both for Christ at first overshaddowing the blessed Virgin at his holy Conception and having by the eternal spirit offered himself to God without spot Heb. 9.24 at last by his Resurrection declaring him with power by the Spirit of Sanctification to be the Son of G●d Rom. 1.4 and by his working in his Saints at all times which said work of Reconciliation was to be the sure and necessary foundation of all the following parts of the said General Work of Redemption from Mans Fall to the end taken in the greatest extent as it was Gods said eternal Design by Christ so to carry on the said Work in the said time which we shall here endeavour to set before the eyes and understandings of all such serious Christians for their exceeding great Consolation and satisfaction if duly pondered and improved which will farther appear as we said by the said eternal Decrees Covenants and Prophesies in the Old Testament and the Witnessings of Christ and his Apostles in the New but all most strongly determined by Christs own most Divine Revelation But because the first 6000 years appear to be also appointed by him for the carrying on of his Designe for that state in the seventh Millennium and therefore to run parallel with the said decreed great work of the Redemption of the World viz. both of Men and Creatures as we said we shall upon this third Particular respecting Christs carrying it on in the fix first Millenniums to the seventh consider what proof and evidence we find from the word of God for the same which may double the strength of the said farther remaining Proofs which we are to proceed to speak of therefore we shall first manifest the reality thereof from Scripture warrant before we proceed to the other proofs thereof which will include much also of the condition of that said state from first to last first the Holy Ghost excellently expoundeth them by his resembling of them to the six dayes of Creation before God rested the seventh day and to the Type of the Israelites rest in Canaan under Joshua's conduct signifying thereby that after 6000 years should be Christs Sabbatisme of rest from such his great work of Redemption as the spirit of God explains both Heb. 3 and 4 ch which our Saviour likewise confirmeth by his most sure Revelation interpretation thereof and none like it And 2dly this is also done by God's Spirit comparing 1000 years to one day as first from Psal 90. where 1000 years with God are said to be as yesterday which the Apostle Peter 2 Epist 3.8 sets forth with great Emphasis and declares it to be a great point which he would not have Christians ignorant of that one day with the Lord Christ whose coming he there speaks of is as 1000 years and he puts it both wayes saying and 1000 years as one day viz. in reference to his said coming to be at the end of the sixth Millennium and our Saviour also most exactly determineth that Sabbatisme of the seventh Millennium accordingly by 1000 years six times over Rev. 20.2 3 4 5 6 7. of which more afterwards c. 3. Christs carrying on that said work of Redemption for his Universal True Church as that work which his Father gave him to do in that respect in his execution of his three great Offices in the time of his Mediatorship in the World which was first in his eminent Prophetical Office in ●000 years to his first coming and secondly in his eminent Priestly Office in the New Testament in the next 2000 years before the period of his eminent Kingly Office for his said Universal true Church will begin in that following state in that world to come as is largely proved in our Treatise on Gen. 3.15 4. This also may appear from that frequent Promise of Gods shewing mercy to 1000 Generations that is for the 7000 years of the worlds continuance as we reckon in the middle state of things three lives to be 21 years as in page 6 and 7 of our Key is explained 5. From Scripture Chronologie first of Moses his 2400 years and more revealed to him for time past with what was in Joshua Judges Kings and Chronicles which Bishop Vsher that very good man and great Antiquary computes at Solomons Temple built 3000 years and at the Jews Captivity at Babylon about An. Mund 3450 years as Daniels Divine great Calender ch 8. of 2300 years of their Bondage under the four Gentile Monarchies declares as we shall farther by Divine Assistance manifest Which with Christs 1000 years Rev. 20. make up 6750 years besides the little space of Satans loosing not said what it will be To like purpose is the concinnitie of Bucolcerus in our Table of Chronology in the beginning of our Irenicon of his 50 Jubelies to Israels coming out of Aegypt and to Babylons Captivity 70 Jubelies which is 3550 years unto which part of Daniels 2300 years 'till Christ is to be added and from thence he speaketh as aptly saying The seven Seals and the seven Trumpets out of the seventh Seal and the seventh Vial falling under the seventh Trumpet brings us to the seventh Millinary or great Sabbatisme of the Saints rest with Christ as it is called Heb. 4.9 And as God eternally appointed Christ as after may be shewed in that state to be Heir of all thing Heb. 1.1 2 3. upon his carrying on his three great Works in the world in the 6000 years foregoing for they also pass through the 6000 to the 7th wherein he with his Saints shall enjoy the same as we shall shew the first is his making the Worlds that is the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or his Providencial Management of the several states of things 1. in the Old World 2. in this present evil World and 3dly in the world to come Eph. 1.20 Heb. 2.5 the word is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 an habitable world to come For as for Christs creating Heaven and Earth at first out of nothing spoken of v. 10 11 12. that was his Transient act but this his making the worlds as he carries on his said work of Redemption through all the said 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 against the God of this present evil world and the Children of it both said 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 of this world as the Scripture decyphers them many times as 2 Cor. 4.4 and Luke 16.8 such his making of them is his immanent and so long continued act so providentially disposing what is past and will do so for
