A27581	An appeal most humble yet most earnestly by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together unto him, even adjuring the consideration of the most contrary minded who love his appearing concerning the Scripture on due compare, speaking expresly, or word for word : of the thousand years state of the saints, the dead raised first, and of the living, the remaining chang'd in it : and of the wicked-dead-raised, the Gog Magog under it / by T.B.

AN Appeal most Humble YET Most Earnestly by the Coming OF OUR Lord Jesus Christ AND Our Gathering together unto HIM Even Adjuring the CONSIDERATION OF THE Most Contrary Minded Who love HIS Appearing Concerning the Scripture on due Compare Speaking Expresly or Word for Word Of the Thousand Years State of the Saints The Dead Raised First and of The Living The Remaining Chang'd in it And of the Wicked-Dead-Raised the Gog Magog under it By T. B. 〈…〉 THE ADVERTISEMENT TO THE READER MY first Intention was only by way of Proposal concerning the Saints in the 1000 Years Kingdom of Christ But finding Scripture-Evidence Rising so high concerning the Wicked-Dead the Gog Magog of the 1000 Years also Raised but to a State of Death and so call'd still The Dead It Gave me the Boldness to Raise my Proposal to an Appeal My Assurance in These Things is that the Spirit by laying its words in one Scripture to its words in other Scriptures speaks 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Expresly or word for word of These Things so that the Ring of Truth concerning the Resurrection Broken between especially the Apostle Paul and the Apocalyptic Apostle by laying Them together meets and Vnites which is the Greatest Assurance that can be Given Thus It is concerning the Saints And thus It is concerning the Wicked Dead the Gog Magog Raised to Condemnation Whoever would disprove what I have Asserted I expect He should not only perplex what I have said with Ensnaring Questions For so Things most clear most certain may be perplex'd but either lay down by the same Scripture Contexture a contrary or different Scheme or at least shew this Inconsistent with Scripture or with it self A most Humble and I cannot but hope A most Modest Proposal to the Reverend Pastors and to All others that dissent from or doubt of the Thousand Years Kingdom of Christ and will give Leave to Scripture-Search and Consideration concerning it THE Proposal is this I will here single out Three Arguments Taken from Plain Doctrinal Apostolical and from Prophetical Scripture in Compare and which may seem of all other most disputable and if They can be made Good They will undeniably prove the Thousand Years Kingdom And if They can be made void They shall stand a Witness against me that I am not able to make Good the Thousand Years Kingdom of Christ I have so earnestly endeavour'd to Assert And that They may be more Clearly and with All Brevity seen in their Force I will offer Them in the most Argumentative Order and Form I can Conveniently for General understanding compose Them into Argument 1. If the New Heaven and New Earth the Scripture speaks of be prepar'd for the Thousand Years Reign of Christ and of his Saints so as to Begin when that Begins and to End when that Ends Then there must be a Thousand Years Kingdom of Christ But so It will be Found by a Compare of the most Litteral Consequences from Doctrinal and Prophetical Texts compar'd Therefore so it must be I will here Anticipate one Evasion Seeing All Prophetical Scriptures of the Old Testament particularly the mention of the New Heaven and New Earth Esay 65. 17 and c. 66. 22. are so positive and that in the New Testament There is mention of the Regeneration viz. of All Things Matth. 19. 28. of Times of Refreshing or Resouling of All Things of the Time of the Restitution of All Things at the Coming of Christ For the Heavens must Receive Him till then And that this Restitution was spoken of by the Mouth of All his Prophets since the World began Acts 3. 19 20 21. and that the Apostle Rom. 8. 19. c. plainly Asserts the Restoration of the Creation Translated Creature in which Heaven and Earth must needs be Seeing All this is so No one shall Fly off and say All this is but Allegory Metaphor and Figure For with such There can be no Argument on Scripture Text held Having thus premis'd I carry on the Argument If the Apostle John saw together with the Holy City prepared as a Bride a New Heaven and New Earth and that the Former First Heaven and the First Earth were pass'd away which City will presently Appear to have a Thousand Years Peace and Glory Then the New Heaven and New Earth Begin when the Thousand Years State of the Holy City Begins But so He Asserts I saw a New Heaven and a New Earth and the First pass'd away Revel 21. 1. and then to make it most Emphatical He says I John saw the Holy City v. 2. So that it is not to bee supposed Any One will deny the Holy City and the New Heaven and the New Earth to be Together according to the Apostle John besides the Great Concurrences of Reason that such a Glorious State if Any should have a New Heaven and a New Earth Thus They Began together When any one Compares this with the Apostle Peter's Positive Assertion of a New Heaven and Earth wherein Righteousnese shall dwell at the Day of Christ and that a Day with the Lord is as a Thousand Years and sees here a City as will be seen of a Thousand Years State of Peace and as secur'd from Sathan of Righteousness They must be very Averse to Compare of Scripture that will not suppose them to Expound and Illustrate one Another and would Absolutely discourage All Compare of Scripture which I cannot once suppose of such Friends of Scripture as I direct unto Now that this very New Heaven and New Earth and no other Fly away after a Thousand Years State of Peace and Righteousness Granted to this City in a Security from Sathan and so end alike I Go on undeniably to prove The Flying away of whatever Heaven and Earth It was was at the same Time with the White Throne as it were Blancking All into the High Spirituality of the Eternal State and at the same Time that there was no place Found for Them and therefore for no other such after them and at the same Time that John saw the Dead Small and Great stand before God and that Death and Hell and whatever was not written in the Book of Life were cast into the Lake This Conjunction of These Things I am Assured none can deny that shall but with the Least observation Read Revel 20. 11. c. If then Death and Hell were cast into the Lake then certainly Sathan the Prince of the Power of Death if whatever was not Written in the Book of Life was cast into the Lake then certainly Sathan for whom the Lake was prepar'd must needs be at this Time Cast into the Lake But for what Reasons the Beast and False Prophet were there before Him I have elsewhere declar'd Sathan's casting into the Lake must needs be after the Thousand Years as is express Revel 20. 7. c. and will be more argu'd immediately if then the Heaven and Earth that were in Being when Sathan was cast into the Lake
