horror The like description of the comming of Christ is set downe by the prophet Esay Esay 66.15 Behold the Lord will come with fire and his charriots like a whirle winde that he may recompence his anger with wrath and his indignation with the flame of fire c. The Lorde Iesus to be reuealed from heauen with Angels of might in the flame of fire signifieth that the Lorde Iesus shall come to iudgment with great power and maiestie in fire Mat. 24.30 For they shall see the sonne of man come in the cloudes of heauen with power and great glorie Gen. 7.21 2. Pet. 3.7 God hath once already destroyed the world with water the second time he will destroy it with fire But what manner of fire that shal be and of what matter cōpounded I leaue it to be disputed of by such mē as are foolishly curious It shal be sufficient for vs only to note this that Paules purpose was to teach that Christ will be a seuere reuenger of all those iniuries which the reprobate do vnto vs For the metaphor of flame and of fire is very common in the Scriptures where the wrath of the Lord is intended Rendring vengeance vnto them which do not knowe God Now it followeth to shew what the Lord Iesus will doe when he is reuealed from heauen with angels of his might in the flame of fire namely he wil take vengeance of the wicked and vpon such as know not God that is to say he will plague them in his wrath which wold not know God but following the world and seeking for worldly things neglected the commaundements of God And which obey not the Gospell By these two titles he noteth the vnbeleeuing who knowe not God nor obey the Gospel of Christ For if men do beleue the Gospell through faith Rom. 1.5 and .16.26 vnbeleefe is the cause of resisting the Gospell He condemneth them also of the ignorance of God For the liuely knowledge of God doth beget of it selfe reuerence but incredulitie is alwayes blind Not that the vnbeleuing are altogether void of light vnderstanding but because they haue their minds so darkned that in seeing they cannot see Esay 6.9 Our sauiour Christ doth not without cause pronounce that this is eternal life Ioh. 17.3 to know the true God and Iesus Christ whom he hath sent Therefore of the defect of this most holesome knowledge followeth the contempt of God and at the last death And as it is the office of Christ one day to punish those which haue not knowne God so also it is his office to reward those which haue knowne God and which haue obeyed the Gospell of Christ 9 Which shal be punished with euerlasting perdition from the presence of the Lorde and from the glorie of his power These words appertaine to the amplification of those punishments which persecutors and al the wicked in general shall one day feele that no man might thinke that they shal be light or easie or of some small continuance For he saith that the perdition shal be eternal that is without end a death immortall To the which saying of the Apostle agreeth also the sentence of Christ in his sermons where he saith that the torments of the wicked shal be perpetuall Mat. 25.46 euen as the felicitie of the righteous shal be euerlasting so that the reprobate shall go into eternall torment and paine Mar. 9.44 and the elect into euerlasting life And their woorme shall not die and their fire shall not be extinguished Therefore the wicked shall susteine the punishments of destruction for euer alwayes feeling them and neuer ceasing insomuch that the very punishment it selfe shal after a sorte as it were reuiue them to the end they may alwayes be consumed From the presence of the Lorde The perpetuity of death is proued hereby that it hath the glorie of Christ contrarie vnto it the which glorie is eternall and hath no ende Thereupon the horror of the terrible punishment may be gathered because looke how great the glorie and maiestie of Christ is so great shall their torment be Therefore al they doe deceiue and are deceiued themselues which doe promise after a certaine time a deliuerance from the torments of hell fire at which time Origens Error as Origen also thought the wicked and the diuels themselues shal be pardoned but how falsely and wickedly it doth hereby appeare And from the glorie of his power With the which power he shall come to iudge the quicke and the dead He alludeth to the forme of the comming of Christ to iudgment and to his might and power before the which the wicked shall not be able to stand By these woords also he sheweth how easie a matter it is for God to bring torment vpon the wicked For the Rebellious and obstinate shal be tormented with the terror onely of his countenance And contrariwise the presence of God shall bring to the saintes felicitie and glorie For he shall come with glorie and with power insomuch that neither his glorie shall want power neither shall hi● presence and power be without glorie 10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints and to be made maruelous in al thē that beleeue because our testimony toward you was beleued in that day The Apostle hauing hitherto spoken of the punishment of the Reprobate returneth to the godly and saith that Christ shal come that he may be glorified in them that is to say that he may make them to shine with his glorie As if he should say when Christ shall come to punish the impietie of the wicked he wil then also shew himselfe glorious to the saints and will make their vile and corruptible bodies like to his most glorious body Philip. 3.21 Therefore he will not keepe this glorie to himselfe alone but will make the same common to al his saints This is the great and singular consolation of the godly that when the sonne of God shal be made manifest in the glorie of his kingdome he shall gather them into the same societie with him And there is in these words an Antithesis or Comparison between the present state vnder the which the faithfull doe labour and groane and that last restitution For now they are laid open to the reproches of the world they are counted vile and of no estimation but then they shal be precious and replenished with glory when Christ shall power his glorie vpon them Therefore to all the godly and saintes he shall not come austere or terrible but glorious and admirable that they may be led into an inheritance incorruptible 1. Pet. 1.4 In all them that beleeue This is added for an exposition For those whom before he had called saints he now calleth beleeuing signifiyng that there is no holines in men without faith but that all being deuoid of faith are prophane and vncleane Because our testimony toward you was beleeued That which
