A39795	Israel redux, or, The restauration of Israel, exhibited in two short treatises the first contains an essay upon some probable grounds, that the present Tartars near the Caspian Sea, are the posterity of the ten tribes of Israel / by Giles Fletcher ; the second, a dissertation concerning their ancient and successive state, with some Scripture evidences of their future conversion, and establishment in their own land / by S.L.

the height of their expectation they shall be most miserably torn Jerusalem taken the Houses rifled the Women ravisht and half carried out for a new Captivity then will the Lord set his feet upon the Mount of Olives for their deliverance Then a Saviour shall come upon Mount Zion to judge the Mount of Esau i. e. the opposite enemy and the Kingdom shall be the Lords But to repair to the connexed Epocha of 1290 to initiate and begin 1260 we must infer that since all the forenamed roots of numeration are past without deliverance either to Gentile Churches in Europe or to Israel that we are to spring another rise and that is from the taking away of the Gospel-Sacrifice of pure Worship by a new Babilonian Monarch by a second Antiochus by the grand Antichrist who setting in the Temple of God as God hath introduced most horrible pollutions and defilements in the Evangelical Worship Now this Prince of Sin arose gradually together with the ten Kings from the year 410 when Rome was taken by Alaricus and continued increasing and waxing in his grandeur and power till that was taken away which hindred his revelation in the World which was the Roman Empire But the Roman Empire drew its last gasp and was finally and totally extirpated in the year 476 Thus divine Providence doth usually perform its mighty works gradually by distinct intervals of progress which leads us to a consideration of a 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or compass of years contained within the latitude of 66 from the year 410 to 476 in which year Augustulus was deposed So then if ye add the 1260 years we arise to 1736. About which I am verily persuaded that the great Mystery of the ruine of Antichrist will be amply manifest and visible upon the face of the earth and forasmuch as the ten last Caesars were rather Caesarculi some appointed from the East and some rising out of their mutual combustions and that the Roman Territory was exceedingly diminisht cut short in Italy by the Goths We may indeed look upon the Roman Empire as good as ruined at the death of Valentinian the third in the year 455 which by connection of the 1260 brings us to 1715 about which times the pre-consideration of the ruine of the Roman Empire conducts to the expectation of great devastations and confusions in the Papal The fuller indagation of these periods belonging to another paper I return to Israel and Daniel's computation of their times by adding 30 years more to these 1260 there with making up his 1290. So that if the 1260 do finish about 1700 or 1715 or at utmost in 1736 then 30 years after their expiration and the great conflicts with the Papal powers in the West will begin the stirs and commotiabout the Jews aud Israel in the East if then to 1736 we add 30 more they reach to 1766 the times of Israels gatherings from their dispersions and conflicts for their Country with the Nations and powers that may detain and obstruct them which times of distress and perplexity are determined to last 45 years longer which answers in some measure to the Typical remembrance of the time from their ancient coming out of Egypt till they were almost quietly settled in most parts of the Land of Canaan If then we conjoyne these 45 years more to 1766 it produces 1811 for those times of happiness to Israel for blessed is he that waiteth and cometh to 1335 days to the consumption and destruction of their enemies But how far further the finishing of the remainders of that Assyrian War when 7 Shepherds and eight principal men alluding to the King of Persia and his 7 great Princes or Counsellers of State shall be raised up for the defence of Israel how far I say those times may extend and how long it shall be to utter abolition of the Papal remnants after the 1260 days of his power are expired that is how long the Vials shall be pouring out upon him his Throne and all his Adherents in the West and upon the jurisdiction of his City when the three parts only shall remain of his 10 Principalities or how long it shall be to the utter ruine of the Turk in the East and the deliverance of the Graecian Churches and the subduing of all other powers that shall assemble and withstand the design of God in erecting the Kingdom of the Stone cut out from the Mountains of Gods Decrees without hands of humane aid or power I say how far those times of the victorious success of the Church may be amplified and extended is beyond man to dictate and determine Neither do I yet clearly see by what texts of Scripture we can distinctly proceed to chain or connex the 1000 years glory of the Church in a compleat golden link with any former expiring currents of Prophecy unless it be to the end of Daniel's 1335 or the end of the Vials and some other latent numbers not yet apparent to us in the surface of Scripture neither may we be so bold as to build upon that notion of the house of Elias mentioned by that Learned Earl of Mirandula and others for the continuation of the World in its state of misery and bondage for 6000 years according to the six days of Creation It was a current Notion in the Primitive times among the Christians applying that of Peter One day with the Lord is as a thousand years as if so be it did pre-signifie the duration of the World as I have before touched out of Justin Martyr and that the word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the resurrection of the World to a Sabbath of rest and glory and felicity doth reflect upon the seventh day wherein the Lord rested from his labours and was refreshed and then the eigth day from the Creation for the resurrection of our Lord should presignify the Saints rising to glory and being for ever with the Lord in Heaven Let these hints suffice at present not willing to expatiate in gratifying our curiosity with conjectures that perhaps may not prove clearly scriptural Let 's study with the Apostle 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to be wise to sobriety and not surmise beyond what 's written Leaving the punctual particularitys of the timeing of Prophecies with the issues of Providence unto the Father in whose holy hands the signatures of all times are written Let 's be very thankful that our blessed Saviour hath so far indulged his Church as to signify by his servant John the duration of Antichrist their last and principal enemy to be 1260 years and that we may collect from evident Scripture proof that these years are well nigh expired 'T is a wonderful mercy let 's be highly thankful for this discovery and rejoice in Zion's approaching glory The Conclusion It s now high time to fix a period to this inquisition and conclude with a serious reply to such as may demand Cui bono

and therefore those Tribes were never yet restored to their glorious State but remains still to be effected in the latter day Who these People are that shall come like Stormes upon the Mountains of Israel I shall not here stand to discuss but rest with the general apprehension of many learned that they denote the Turks who came Originally from between the Euxine and Caspian Seas conjoyned with Mesech who were planted at first by the Montes Moschici in Cappadocia and Tubal or the Tubareni in the adjacent Coasts Some think the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in Strabo l. 11. p. 523. placed in North of Media to be these People Ortel They had their name from Terk and Tork that signifies a Shepherd those Countries being used to Pasturage and wafting up and down like the Nomades in Carts and Waggons with their Cattel and are most likely the Turcoe in Pliny and Mela and have left a notable remain of their Name in the City Terki so called at this day on the West side of the Caspian Give leave also to represent one Text of Scripture about Gogs ruine in the latter days mentioned in Balaam's Prophecy according to the Samaritan Copy of the Pentateuch where speaking of the latter times of the World He saith in our versions Israels King shall be higher then Agag and his Kingdomes shall be exalted The Samaritan reads it and so the Seventy He shall be exalted above Gog. Not to argue about the Authentickness of that Lection at present let it suffice that according to that ancient reading Israel is to be exalted above the Kingdoms of Gog in the latter days that is above the Turk as we apprehend by consideration of Ezekiel who acquaints us that the Lord had spoken of old concerning Gog and his ruine by his Prophets in former times But as yet the Turk is in great Splendor though we hope his Crescent is a waining and tending to his fatal Eclipse and Period as might be further evidenced by the finishing of the second Wo-Trumpet in the Revelations at the rising of the Witnesses 4. Arg. 4 The Tribes of Israel are to rule over their Babylonian Enemies and all their ancient Oppressors They never returned as yet to enjoy a Kingdom sui juris but after the return of Judah from Babylon were as a Province inserted into another Empire of the Persians the Ptolomies the Syrians or the Romans c. Therefore the promised State of an absolute or glorious Kingdome to rule over their enemies was never yet fulfilled and remains to be accomplished When God shall raise up Judah and Ephraim and the Sons of Zion against the Sons of Greece or Javan Who are the Sons of Javan but the people that live under Gog and Magog and who is the present Possessor of Greece but the Turkish Gog And who is the Assyrian in the Land of Judah but the Ottoman Family Who holds part of the Ancient Assyria and all the Land of Canaan under his Damaseen Scymiter at this day But Israel is to Captivate those in the latter day that had led them Captives in former times Now this hath never been fulfilled to this moment and therefore rests under the veracity of God to accomplish to his Ancient People They shall possess them in the Land of the Lord for Servants and Hand-Maids and they shall take them Captive whose Captives they were and shall rule over their Oppressors The Nation and Kingdom that will not serve Israel shall perish yea those Nations shall be utterly wasted The Sons of them that have afflicted Israel shall come bending to them and all that despised them shall bow themselves down at the soles of his feet In like manner the Lord threatens the Tyrians that sold his People to the Grecians that God will sell their Children to Judah and they shall sell them as Captives to the Sabeans in Arabia Who are the Tyrians at this day but the Turk who rules longè lateque all round the Phaenician Shores Further the Lord commands all Nations in the latter day to come up to Jerusalem and keep the Feast of Tabernacles The Feast of Israels Deliverance from the House of Bondage and the Feast of the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or the Incarnation of our Lord of his Tabernacling in our Nature upon Earth i. e. to Worship the great Messiah and Lord of our Redemption And if any of all the Families of the Earth shall not obey this Command the Lord will smite them with Famine if they come not up to Worship King David the Lord of Hosts at Jerusalem in the latter day This glorious Deliverance of Israel shall not dawn till the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled So long saith our Lord shall Jerusalem be trodden under foot or as the Apostle Paul expresses 〈◊〉 the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the Fulness of the Gentiles be come in i. e. the fulness of time or the full time of the Gentiles Dominion in the World Now 't is frequent in Scripture Phrase to set forth the End of a Nation its Glory its Power and Prosperity and its Dominion by the time or times of such a Land or Nation its fixed period predetermined and foreappointed of God as you may observe Isai. 13. 22. Jer. 27. 7. and 50. 27 31. Ezek. 7. 7 12 and 22. 3. and 30. 3. 5. Arg. 5 They are to possess a far larger Country then ever they did since they were a People In that day the Lord shall beat off from the Chanel of the River unto the Stream of Egypt i. e. drive their enemies from the River Euphrates to Sihor or the little Stream at the entrance into Egypt and the Dominion of David the second shall be from the River Euphrates to the Ends of the Earth i. e. to the Sea Shore He shall have Dominion from Sea to Sea and from the River unto the Ends of the Earth I will set saith the Lord his hand in the Sea and his right hand in the Rivers i. e. His Power and Dominion Israel must enjoy whatever was contained in that ample Charter given to Abraham as may be more fully expressed in the sequel of this Tract They rise not up to the Dignity of the Promise who cut them short of that large possession granted to their Fathers of old from Euphrates to the entring in of Egypt though they tell us that David and Solomon possessed the Promised Country by Garrisons yet let them remind that those Princes held also by the same tenure of tribute Edom Moab and Ammon and the Children of the East When some further add that Israel fell short of the Promise by Sin that 's not cogent for so they might have fallen short of all and the Lord acquaints them that he chose them them not to be his People for their greatness or worth and therefore brought them into Canaan at the first but to get himself a glorious Name Nay
