that state which largely might be made thence to appear the Verb 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 also is of future signification answerable to the time and state of that Prophesie and some Fathers and even some Papists have so understead that time to be Christs second comeing of which much more might be said but this is to me above all I am sure Christ explains all these in this sence in the Revelation as our two last books if rightly understood do manifest I thought to have spoken of many things more in this Epistle so ordered by Christs holy Spirit as I find them to this purpose as in ch 11. many things of the sufferers and Covenants to Abraham Isaac Jacob and others but we have spoken of them partly in our Key p. 7 8 9 c and in our said last Books and of the Communion in the New Testament state then ch 12. which also we spoke of in the said Books and more in our Tract on Jer. 3.17 and because we have but a short Introduction in hand to our intended short Scheme if God will we will be satisfied with thus much at present to our present purpose The like exposition I have from Christs Revelation of what St. Paul saith of Christs first comeing and the first Resurrection of the Saints 1 Cor. 15. after he had risen above 1600 years before as their first fruits to sanctifie and effect their Resurrection afterwards at his second comeing v. 23. and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 deinde intends 1000 years after as Christ teacheth shall be the end which will be when he shall have put down all Rule and Authority and Power that is chiefly as Scripture witnesseth Ezekiels Gog and Magog and shut up Satan in the bottomless pit for 1000 years and after that destroy the last Gog and Magog Rev. 20.8 9. and cast the Devil into the lake of Fire and the last Enemy Death will be destroyed with the Author of it the first Soul Murtherer and sin the effect of his wickedness and also the matter for death to work upon will be taken away which are the destroying of death none remaining from thence in the world in the natural life but after the said 1000 years shall be that Mistery of the general Rapture which he speaks of v. 51 52. at the last Trump at his descending with a shout as also the same Apostle speaks at his last comeing which I believe from the same warrant he speaks of 1 Thes 4.15 16 c. as distinguishing his bringing with him all that sleep in Jesus which he had called the appearance of Christ with all his Saints before ch 3. ult from this last when those dead in Christ viz. all that departed in 1000 years before shall rise first then that is before the wicked at the last Trump then both which sorts are these our Saviour calls the rest of the dead that rose not till 1000 years after or till the 1000 years were finished v. 5. the first said Resurrection of the Saints is Rev. 20.4 5. as Christ there exactly distinguisheth both of them and this may be observed by humble and conscientious seekers to be resolved which Resolutions of these Texts I do upon good grounds believe shortly will be approved by Christ himself at his comeing and how matchless a Resolver that Revelation so called with a witness is and in some things with Daniel also such as rightly seek by it as they ought I doubt not but may more and more by their own Experience find and in the interim after all present gainsayings yet with declared willingness to give a Christian-like account to all serious persons c. I bless and magnifie the holy name of God my heavenly Father in Christ my gracious merciful Redeemer of the Lord the Spirit my Sanctifier Teacher to my great comfort and satisfaction of these and many like Divine Truths couched as he hath been pleased to lay them down in his holy Word for others I only here pray saying Blessed and Holy Trinity of Persons in the Unity of the Divine Essence open the eyes of thy faithful servants in these times to understand the holy Scriptures respecting that said world to come at Christs second comeing as our blessed Saviour after his Resurrection opened his Disciples understandings Luke 24.45 then to see the things before and at his first comeing and especially respecting his Death and Refurrection then newly past c. Amen We might here note hat strong confutation might be taken against Pelagian Arminian Popish Socinian Errours many others excite all to get true Grace as the best security of all good to that end lay aside worldly wicked projects in the world and keep close to God in the use of all good means and that Great Persons should kiss the Sun c. Psal 2. but we are forced now only to hint thus much FINIS
21.5 in the beginning of both our last books and shall by Gods gracious assistance do in some other of the Epistles but especially as a pattern of all the rest in the Epistle to the Hebrews to manifest that Revelation Interpretation of all such said Parts of Scripture is the best and most sure Interpretation of them 5. It is manifest from the many Parallels in the Books of Daniel and the Revelation and of the admirable connexion of both First of the matters and things and secondly of their times or the Series and order of them both First from their many Parallels as 1. The manner of writing them both Rev. 1.19 first of the things which both of them had seen 2. of the things then in their own time as we observed in our Summary of Daniel pag. 3 4 5 c. And 3dly of the things that shall be afterwards c. where many things are set down suiting to one another and though Daniel set forth more generally and briefly all the four Monarchies chap. 2. and chap. 7. yet at the end of them in both chapters he shews the state of things to be in the 1000 years at the end of chap. 2. he sets down the beginning of the Kingdome of the Stone at v. 44 c. about Christs Ascention to continue for 1666 years which should break the Iron Roman Monarchy in that time and it self become a Mountain filling the whole Earth v. 35. when the time of the ten Kings ch 7. and the little Hornes time time and halfe a time viz. of the Beast or Antichrist haply the Turk also for there are many Resemblances of both c. shall be extinct and therefore in that ioyenth chapter he speaks of the first act of the Judgment of the great day to give the body of the Beast to the burning flame when he had also the Vision of Christs comeing in the Clouds to receive his universal and perpetual Kingdome in the world next after the Beasts Date of a time times and half a time are out explained by 42 moneths and 1260 dayes in Rev. 11. briefly in passing over the Persian v. 1 2. and running through much of the Grecian Monarchy in ch 11. to v. 36 he comes to the Roman at its height in Christs time and after in the primative Persecutions v. 36. and to the Popes v. 37 38 39. and so by the Saracens in that time of the end v. 40. and the Turks v. 40. that King of the North of whom as the second Woe-trumpet he proceeds to speak v. 41 42 43 44. to his end 45. about Christs appearance and so ch 12. setting forth the time of Christs appearance and Kingdome he gives farther explications of the times of the Beast v. 5 6 7. and those before it verse 4. and in reference to Christs said comeing ch 10. he had a Vision aforehand of his glorious person and so had St. John ch 1. and as the man in white Linnen ch 12. as the great High-priest declares the time viz. of that last Gentile Monarchy should be no longer than Christs appearance so Christ the same person swears the like Rev. 10 at the sounding of the seventh Trumpet which is the very same time see more in our Parallels of the Roman and Christs Monarchy from both Books And he that is able to make these and the like Parallels understandingly by Gods Mercy may soon prove very judicious in matters respecting the said happy state of the 1000 years so excellently set down by Christ farther to explain these last things in the 4 last ch of the Revel And 2dly there is a wonderful connexion of the Misterious times of Daniel with those of the Revelation succeeding them first the great Calender of 2300 years in ch 8. of Daniel misteriously given by Palmoni or the secret Numberer as it is opened v. 17. by him at the time of the end the Vision shall be and v. 19. in the last end of the indignation viz. against the Jews and v. 26. as a Key of both to be shut up for many dayes with many other Reasons in our Summary on that text which manifest it to be the measure of the times of the Gentiles Dominion and Israelites and Jews joynt Bondage which contains Daniels three Monarchies past and the Romans to Christ and thence by vulgar account 1700 years to Rev. 19 ch as in Restitut p. 26 27 28. until the ruine of the Beast and until Christs said Kingdome of the Mountain begins likewise in Daniels second Number of the 70 weeks from the execution of the Command in the 20th year of Artaxerxes Longimanns about Anno Mundi 3550. to build the City Jerusalem to Christs putting an end to sin by his death and bringing in everlasting Righteousness by his Resurrection and Ascention in the middle of Daniels last week making up 490 years when the God of Heaven set up the Kingdome of the Stone for its 1666 years and is also the period of Antichrists Date Rev. 13. ult to be found out by the Spirits Divine Wisdome in Daniel and St. Paul who saith the apperance of Christs comeing will destroy him 1 Thes 2.8 and this Number of Daniel proceeds iâ— connexion with the Revelation from Anno Dom. by vulgar account about 34. by adding the said Divine Number as I esteem it both wayes 1666. for the end of the Kingdome of the Stone then beginning that of the Mountain as v. 35. and also the end of the Beasts Date and so stands in connexion with Daniel in respect both of the former and latter times of Daniel and Revelation so suiting admirably each to other c. 3. For Daniels third Mistical Numbers connexion by a mark of taking away of Sacrifice and setting up the abomination of desolation chap. 12. to be found many hundred years after and yet when it comes after Adrians the Emperours driving the Jews from sacrificing about 130 years after Christ and Constantines about 312. that it so wonderfully should be ordered about 365 in Julian the Apostates time that by such an eminent hand of God as we shewed pag. 6. of Abridgm of Dan. of Parral p. 34. it should then be taken away ultimately as publick at least to which 365. by adding the before revealed to Daniel 1335. thence to the blessed times the said Revelation number of 1700 years to ch 20. is so by that wonderful connexion made up by both these beloved Servants of God and Christs so strange agreement in witnessing joyntly to both Divine books from the same Holy Spirit which is one admirable evidence of the said Truth witnessed by both And as to the excellent Divine Contrivance of the Book of Revelation in two Schemes to ch 19. as an explication of Daniels short Hints for the Times during 1666 years under the Kingdome of the Stone Dan. 2.24 from Christs Ascention to his descending again as pag. 26 27. of Restitut with other things observable in the order of it
his power upholds all things through all those Worlds viz. the said 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or states of them and lastly purgeth the sins of his Elect through them all as was said before and so v. 4. and all the chapter to the end and throughout chapter the second he magnifies Christs Sonship by comparing him with the Angels shewing how far and in how many respects the sacred Scripture sets up this Son of God above the Angels he had said something before of his eternal glory for time past but here he illustrates his Sonship for time present to come wherein we may observe from Scripture ground that distinction of the learned of Christs being eternally 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or the wisdome in the bosome of the Father and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the word revealed or manifested in the flesh to be the Son of God in whose face as being made flesh and so God-man in one person as saith our Apostle all the Fathers glory is manifest 2 Cor. 3.6 John 1.12 and so he is the Fathers only begotten Son at his conception when the Holy Ghost overshadowed the blessed Virgin upon her Faith of the Angels Message at his holy conception Luke 1. and when the fame spirit of holiness with power raised him from the the Dead Rom. ◠4 Psal 2. Acts 13. and so he is called his first begotten from the Dead Rev. 1.5 for Scripture only speaks of his being the Son of God only in reference to some Divine Manifestation to be made in time towards his humane nature whereby God manifests and owns him to be his Son as he was first eternally decreed or Prophetically declared so to be but no otherwise and so at his Baptisme Matthew 3. and at his Transfiguration Mat. 17. at his Ascention as he prayed John 17. to have as the Fathers Son his former glory which he had c. so when the Spirit led him into the Wilderness to be tempted of the Devil he brought him to that tryal If thou be the Son of God c. Mat. 4. And at his Death Gods power was so manifest towards him that the very Centurion at that discouraging state strongly asserts it Truly saith he this was the Son of God And our Apostle here adds one more to come which is the greatest the most glorious and gracious accomplishment of the end of all others before in the world when he shall be brought again into that world to come N. B. which shall as he there shews not be subject to Angels but to the Son of God so gloriously then above all other times before to manifest him to be the Son of God ad his heir of all things as appointed for that time and state as his First-borne higher than the Kings of the Earth Psalm 89.27 as we shall farther shew as Christs Revelation Explication manifests from ch 2.5 And our Apostle from v. 4. having laid down many glorious Testimonies of holy Scripture for that great Title of Son v. 5. and of his comeing to take his Kingdome at his second comeing v. 6. from Dan 7.13 14. and of his Kingly Dignity v. 8. when Angels are his Ministring Spirits v. 7. but then at his said comeing again his Divine Throne which he shall then sit upon as the Son of David will then gloriously manifest also that he is the Son of God in that it will be to the end of the world being then ordered by his Scepter of Righteousness as Esa 9. as is explained v. 9. and the first Foundation he laid for this Kingdome was his creating Heaven and Earth v. 10. and as he made them he will also dissolve them in his time v. 11 12. with Rev. 20.11 but in the last place Gods spirit directs him v. 13. after his Divine manner to point out the time of his said Inheritance and Kingdome before spoken of v. 2 6 8. and that from that great Oracle Ps 110.1 so often repeated in the New Testament shewing it will be at the end of his sitting there which is at his second comeing or when he brings him again into the world v. 6. and in ch 10.13 until then as he shews he sits expecting the same till that time his foes shall be made his footstool and ch 2. after he had warned them of hearing God speaking by his Son v. 1 2 3 4. as he doth again towards the end of the Epistle ch 12.25 he proceeds to shew the preheminence of Christ in the world to come which is to begin then when God shall bring his Son again into the world as he proved before from Psal 97. which Ps foretels that time state and shews then will be the world he there speaks of and tells them it was not to be subject unto Angels but must be to the Son of God ch 2. v. 5 6 7 c. and to that purpose then adds a great Testimony from Psal 8.4 excellently here explained v. 6 7 8. where he teaches that the Creation at first since defaced by mans fall and Satans Usurpation and wickedness of Men which Christ had undertaken to rescue from his Tyranny for himself and those which the Father had given him for which cause he was made for a little time lower than the Angels and had made the purchase of the world anew which after he was to possess but first he must go to the high Court of Heaven to be gloriously put into possession in due time and then to return as Luke 19. to take his said Inheritance Kingdom possession when it is made fit for him at the Renovation of all things yea for him and his Saints in that time and state here spoken of as the Apostle expressly saith v. 8. we do not yet see all things put under him but our Saviours Revelation Key in the four last chapters gives an excellent account of that time and Gods way of performing them and opens all those things if men would humbly and conscientiously attend to it which I well through Divine Grace still more and more find doth strongly resolve all such things above all that man can say to the contrary and so as I am well from his word and holy Spirit assured he will make good before long time pass Now that this world to come is so be taken besides what was before said all fitly leading to it as by Gods Spirit so Divinely ordered note farther v 5. it is 1. stiled 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 an habitable world and 2dly it is spoken of to be when God brings his Son again viz the second time into the world v. 6. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the Adverb there is joyned with the Verb and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 points it out to be a special distinct time and matter he speaks of though also another proof of his Divine Sonship because then at his second comeing all the Angels must Worship him and it is as was Prophesied of before Psal 97.7 and of
c. by whom both the Elect Angels were confirmed in grace and glory and the sins of the Saints should through all times be purged away by himself for the good of whom he hath ever since made his Elect Angels Ministring Spirits having from Eternity given them by his said Covenant unto Christ Therefore the Spirit of God evidently so explains Psalm 8.4 in that excellent Epistle to the Hebrews chap. 2 6 7 8. speaking by allusion there to the first Adam but in both texts Christ is said to be the Son of Man which the first Adam was not but only by Creation the Son of God Luke 3. the last And this Son of Man Christ is he that was for a little season in the world made lower than the Angels but after Crowned with Glory and Honour who for the suffering of death as the Apostle speaks Heb. 1.3 sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high and hath all things as he goes on v. 8. put in subjection under his feet viz. Decretively and Declaratively not actually as all shall then be so the holy Apostle speaks there we do not yet see all things put under him v. 8. and now in some sort or sence the world is the Saints as 1 Cor. 3.22 but then it shall be not only as Christ now providentially orders all for their good therein but then it shall also be theirs in possession too at the said times of the Restitution of all things as our Saviour resolves in that world to come Rev. 21.5.7 Consider well as to this Head our Divine Theses in pag. 3 4 5 6 c. of our first Irenic and Abridg. p. 7 8 c. all though short yet of great weight 4. Gods word witnesseth that by an Eeternal Decree he hath appointed to set his King Christ upon his holy Hill of Sion Psal 2. according to his last Covenant with David for his sure Mercies respecting Christs Universal and perpetual Kingdome that he promised to him for ever 2 Sam 7.16 to the end that after all the vain attempts in the world to the contrary v. 1 2 3 which have ever been in acting since the Fall that Enmity was put by Gods Justice between the seed of the Woman and the seed of the Serpent Gen. 3.15 and will be to that very time when he shall come with his Saints to take possession of it which I doubt not but this Generation will shortly see and what a time of trouble will then be 'till Christs said coming ends it Dan 12.1 Rev. 16.18 experience will soon manifest but notwithstanding all that hath been is now in acting or shall be until then yet saith God I have set my King Christ the great King of the New Jerusalem as he stiles himself Mat 5.35 upon my holy Hill of Sion when also upon his asking as he did John 17.20 he will give him the Heathen for his Inheritance and the uttermost part of the Earth for his Possession and when he will make him his First-borne and so Heir to the Kingdome higher than the Kings of the Earth Psal 89.27 and Prince of the Kings of the Earth Rev. 1.5 and therefore when he destroyes the Beast and false Prophet at the Armageddon Battel his Name shall be written upon his Vesture and upon his Thigh whose Name also is called the Word of God v. 13. yea he had a name written that no man knows but he himself v. 12. but yet v. 16. his Name is so written King of Kings and Lord of Lords Rev. 19.11 c. whereupon he with his raised Saints shall Reign upon Earth 1000 years Rev. 20.4 6. which will be Gods said setting of his King Christ upon his holy Hill of Sion and his possessing of his said Davidical Kingdome for ever 2 Sam. 7. which from our 12 Foundations of our Faith hereof is abundantly evident with others Hence also it is very observable Acts 15.16 17. that the Holy Spirit upon the Apostle James his speaking of the raising Davids Tabernacle which the Prophet Am. shews ch 9.11 the last shall be so that the people shall never more thenceforward be pulled up out of their own Land as also is said 2 Sam. 7 and to be when the fulness of the Gentiles shall come in as Rom. 11. which he stiles all the Heathen that are called by my name to which text of Amos S. James having spoken of the Gentils first call which was in part as he said by his mouth v. 7. he then adds after that I will returne which words are not in Amos 9. but Gods Spirit taught him so to explain them and build up his Tabernacle also and as declaring it not to belong to that first call of the Gentiles but as Amos saith when all the Heathen shall be called by his name and thereupon adds that great general Divine Truth here to be especially applyed to the raising of Davids Tabernacle v. 18. known unto God saith he are all his works from the beginning of the world as if he would thereby teach Gods people that it was Gods eternal designe then to raise Davids said Tabernacle in Christ according to his Covenant with David viz. for his House his Throne and Kingdome for ever as 2 Sam. 7. and that all the works of God in the world since tend to fulfil that which is his great designe in that time in the world namely for Christ to reign in the renewed state thereof with his Saints in it where they had all been before so Conteamed Persecuted and Oppressed by the black Prince of this present evil world and by ungodly men also called the children thereof namely of this present evil world And thus we may see in all these particulars Gods eternal decrees are confirmed and explained by Christ as they shall take place in that state in those times accordingly of which much more will be manifest from the Divine exactness the comprehensive usefulness and the certain determination of Christ in his said Key which is chiefly the spirit of Prophesie and the Testimony of Jesus as he had before spoken by his spirit in his Prophets Rev. 19.10 The next evidence of the said sate in the said times is from the most ancient Declarations Promises and Covenants in his word unto the Fathers as the next revealed grounds of the same The first was Gods own Declaration upon Mans Fall That the seed of the Woman should break the Serpents head and because he was to be only the seed of the Woman and not of the man therefore was necessarily to be the Son of God as he was manifest to be in the in 4000 years after by the breaking of the Serpents head by degrees in respect both of his head of Policie and Power at last he should so make way for his own sovereignty and the Dominion over the Creatures at last to be restored to him as largely is to be seen in our Treatise on Gen. 3.15 so that in
Christ that Son of David be set up again when the spiritual and Divine part of the last Covenant with David shall most surely be fulfilled to the exceeding great glory amongst all his said Saints of his Wisdome Power Justice and Truth against the Serpent and his seed and of his Wisdome Mercy Goodness Faithfulness and Truth to themselves as in our Treatise of Resurrection is set forth The like Testimony now of the almost experienced time God gave by his other Divine Contemporary Mistical Prophet Ezeekiel ch 21.26 27. saying both of the fall of Davids Tabernacle in the last of his Natural Race I will overturn overturn overturn of the raising it up again as follows c. The fall is first redoubled there not only for certainty of its falling as the four Monarchies were twice revealed first to a Gentile secondly to a Jew c. but it seems to be a farther confirmation of Daniels large measure of the suffering times of the Jews and Gentiles under the same four Monarchies which by Gods Spirit seems expressly to be declared in the next words which declare the raising it up again viz. until he come whose right it is and I will give it him which was meant evidently of his second comeing for he came the first time to suffer not to reign neither doth God give it to him until his second coming at the destruction of the Beast Dan. 7.9 13 14. when the Tabernacle of David is to be raised up again in him But this three fold overturning was to be fulfilled in that long interim of their bondage 2300 years as since hath been found by experience neer to the end thereof The first overturn was by the Caldeans when the Jews were led Captive to Babylon But under the Medo-persians God wonderfully reduced many of them by working the Spirit of Cyrus to it to fulfil Jacobs Prophesie of the comeing of Shilo and Daniels 70 weeks to Christs finishing transgression by his death and bringing in everlasting righteousness by his Resurrection and Ascention when God set up his Kingdome of the Stone as was noted yet secondly under the Greek Monarchy their Land was saddly harrased and spoiled a long time betwixt the two Wings or Branches thereof Aegypt and Syria lying on both sides of it until the end of Antiochus Epiphanes his outrage when the Roman by Scripture account began under which their Land hath been again greatly overturned and turned into a Province until those Ruiners of that Monarchy viz. the Mahumitans Saricens and Turks both harrased it and took it and by degrees all the Eastern Empire also so that the Jews have changed only their Oppressors but not their Bondage and still in the Land of Magog or Roman Monarchy wherein they are to continue in that part until that Monarchy and their present Oppressor the Turk both perish probably together at Christs said appearance and Kingdom and thus through all that said time that three fold overturning will be very probably fulfilled and the Spirit of Christ hath in many things to come also witnessed by Ezekiel as well as Daniel though the Series and order of them is chiefly from Daniel But Ezekiel chap. 36. speaks of their Divine Grace as the foundation of all future Mercy so Daniel 12.1 2 3. ch 37. of their Deliverance and Union so Dan. 12.1 chap. 38.39 he had the Vision of Gog and Magogs destruction so Dan. 7. chap. 40. to the end of the Book the Vision of the New Jerusalem and the Temple upon the Enemies said ruine so Daniel at that end of their dayes shall stand up in his Lot in that state 3. It is manifest from Gods many explications of the said Predictions and promised Covenants and Mercies to the Fathers as they are afterwards confirmed and explained in the following Prophets all which are ultimately determined by the Revelation of Jesus Christ in the said state and time as respecting all such said Saints that shall then be raised by him to reign with him in his said Mediatory or Davidical Kingdome in the 1000 years and be in the New Jerusalem happy state then in the world at the times of the Restit of all things wherefore Christs said Revelation ought exceedingly to be regarded and believed besides other Reasons for the light it gives to all such Prophetical Scriptures for the manifold comprehensive usefulness of it c. And here we might proceed farther to shew how these Covenants were confirmed by the following Prophets which largely might be done had it not been set forth from Acts 3. as he spake by the mouth of all his holy Prophets in our Iren. ch 5 6 7 8. and in our 12 said Foundations with many other parts of our said work which is now by Divine disposal become a useful Comment upon our two last Treatises on Rev. 20.5 and Rev. 21.5 pag. 1 2 3 4. of Restitut Since Christs Spirit hath vouchsafed these great Discoveries to so weak unworthy an Instrument of late by the help of all our former Pieces especially of our more late useful Key and also our three first Convincing Arguments in the Word Written abundantly prove the same we need add no more c. and our Saviour Rev. 21. applyed divers Texts in Esa 60 c. to the time and state of the New Jerusalem as a pattern of many more c. 4. The fourth Scripture evidence is of the many passages in the Gospels and Acts and Epistles of the Apostles which receive no full and sure explication but by the help of Christs said Revelation which teacheth us also that they have relation to all the former heads 1. of Gods eternal Decree in all the said Particulars 2. To his declared or promised Mercies and Covenants afore named or to the Prophets Confirmations Explications or Illustrations of the same which all explaining their sence in the New Testaments and also is very evidently the most excellent Divine Key of all such Prophesies referring to that said time and state and even the Prophesie of Jacob and the like and the partial deliverance of the two Tribes wonderfully by Gods working Divinely upon the spirit of Cyrus to that end and Daniels 70 Weeks of Years all specially and immediately respecting the Messias or Shiloe's first comeing Yet since Gods Kingdome of the Stone began at or about his Ascention for 1666. years from that his spiritual powerful Victory over the Powers of Darkness then Col. 15. until his said glorious visible powerful victory be obtained over all his great Enemies making them then at the end thereof his footstool so we may thence also see the drift of that great Foundation then laid for the Saints said Reconciliation to God was to advance the glorious and blessed ends of Christs second comeing when they shall reign with him which we have already given instances of from Luke 20.35 36. explained in Resur by Rev. 20.5 and of Acts 3.19 20 21. explained by Rev.
