hence they must offer who offer unto God and are accepted in his sight Something that is his own from his own of his own the measure of him which is not born of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man but of God As David did in the figure when he and his Princes offered unto the Temple the figure of him who was to come Christ Jesus by whom all our Sacrifices are to be offered who is come the second time without sin unto salvation of thine own saith he have we given thee For we are strangers before thee and sojourners as were all our Fathers see how low he was when he came to offer to the Figure to that which perished the Temple and the things thereof against the time it should be builded which was to be after his dayes For he was not to build it though it was in his heart because he had made great wars and had shed much bloud but Solomon was to build it for in his dayes peace and quietness the Lord said he would give Israel and that he should be a man of Rest and that he would give him rest from all his enemies round about He shall build an house for mine Name and he shall be my son and I will be his Father and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever said the Lord 1 Chron. 22. 7 8 9 10. See the difference between the man of Blood and the man of Peace and the offering that comes from each and what it signifies and who it is that is to build the Temple of the Lord and which the Lord accepts and in whom he is well pleased it is Solomon the man of rest Our dayes on the earth are as a shadow and there is none abiding O Lord our God all this store that we have prepared to build thee an house for thine holy Name cometh of thine hand and it is all thine own 1 Chron. 29. 14 15 16. and this the Lord accepted And it must be of his own that now must be given him else he accepts it not and his own is that which is of him of the measure of him as aforesaid And therefore a necessity there is for all men hither to come ere that they can come to serve or worship him acceptably with reverence and godly fear who is a consuming fire and will be had in reverence by all that are about him Heb. 12. 29. Psal 89. 7. Or that he will be worshipped of them Therefore hath he moved me and it hath lain upon me from the Lord to write these things unto you that you may not be mistaken as to your Worships or think ye be doing that which is well-pleasing to him when he accepts it not For he is a God of purer eyes than to behold evil and no iniquity can come near his dwelling nor can he look on iniquity and he beholdeth the proud afar off and he scattereth the proud in the imaginations of their hearts how then can they come near him For nothing can come near him but what is like him and as he is as aforesaid This is my well-beloved Son in whom I am well-pleased hear him saith the Lord. So to the Son every one must come to the measure of him in every one that which reproves that which makes manifest that they may know the Lord and his Power and his Arm and his working the mighty power of his working who is able to subdue all things unto himself and to bring down the mighty from their seats and to exalt the humble and meek For Thus saith the high and lofty one that inhabiteth eternity whose Name is Holy I dwell in the high and holy place with him also that is of an humble and contrite spirit to revive the spirit of the humble and to revive the heart of the contrite ones Isa 57. 15. For all these things hath mine hand made Heaven is my Throne and the Earth is my Foot-stool where is the House that ye build unto me and where is the place of my Rest and all these things have been saith the Lord But to this man will I look even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit and that trembleth at my word Isa 66. 2. And thus it concerns every man to mind for as much as he stands in a state of dependency upon God and hath need of him and his Mercy to save and preserve him to all Eternity for as much as there is something in him which is eternal that can never be destroyed with which if it should be ill with for ever it will be sad and this the Lord knowes and in what state man is and what need he hath of him and therefore hath he placed something of himself in man to shew him how it is with him and his state and the way to God who is lost in the fall and how he may please him and do that which is acceptable in his sight that so it may be well with him for ever For otherwise what is a man profited saith Christ if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul or what shall a man give see how high it goes in exchange for his soul Mat. 16. 26. And now is the hour of your visitation whilst ye are here and whilst the Lord strives with you the measure of him in every one of you which calls upon you to heed this and tells you this is so and ye believe this is Truth but yet are not guided by that which tells you it is so and which ye believe though ye believe it and know it is so and that it is good for you to heed it thereby to be led out of the evil and to be delivered from all evil and so redeemed unto God for the Redemption is from evil and the deliverance which holds the mind in captivity and estrangeth it from God so that it knows him not who gives it life and breath and moving and the displeasure of God is against the Creature because his mind is alienated from God by wicked works And therefore that his creature may be saved and delivered from the wrath to come from that on which his wrath is revealed and will be revealed the Lord Jesus will in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God and that obey not the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and the glory of his power when he shall come to be glorified in his Saints and to be admired in them that believe 2 Thes 1. 7 8 9 10. I say that his creature may be saved and delivered from the wrath to come hath he put something of himself in him that he may know whither to go to be delivered And because no man may say in his heart who shall ascend for me into Heaven that is to bring Christ down
