Learned Men have stiled formerly the Revelation of the O●d Testament and indeed it appears to be a Revelation of the Promises of former Prophets and of some of his own Predictions concerning the happy estate of Israel and Judah to come when the Tabernacle of God will be with men Rev. 21. and the City which he had described shall really be Jehavah Shamma because the Lord our Saviour will be personally there And as many differences are observable in that foretold by Ezekiel for the comfort of the Jews and that by the Apostle John respecting especially the Gentiles that were beheaded for the Name of Jesus and resisted Antichrist c. And hence Ezekiel speaks as to a people in that state under such dispensations as the Jews were used to but the other is eminently more gloriously described I conceive for some Reasons as in regard that part of Christs Subjects and Servants that eminently th●n will serve him as Rev. 22.3 being in t he natural life first Jews then G●n●●les converted being the Nations of those that are saved will wa● in the light of the other Jerusalem Rev. 21. that came from God out of Heaven by a Metouymie of the subject being the Spirits of just men made perfect which Christ r●ngs 〈◊〉 him at his second coming and upon the taking their Bodies they become Inhab tants of the Jerusalem whose Maker and Builder is God Heb 11.10 prepared for the fore-fathers and all that without us shall not be ma●e perfect●● 40. or perfect in one as our Saviour prayed John 17.23 when they shall b●hol● Christs glory v. 24 See ●ract on Jer. 3.17 other parcels c. And Daniel declares in a set order of Prophecy first more generally in Chap. 2. and Chap. 7. and after more particularly in Chap. 8. v. 13. to 20. with v. 26. and chap. 10. as in Rev. 1. Christs resemblance and chap. 11. much of the Roman Kingdom from v. 36 as Mr. Med accurately and evidently explains and chap. 12 v. 5 6 7. the same in substance with Rev. 10. and Daniel's Lot notes the first Resurrection Rev. 20.6 and to the same purpose Ezektel chap. 36. foretels largely the happy estate of the Jews then to whom the Gentiles will flow in being both in the natural life and shews the sure foundation of that mercy vers 25 26 27. viz. Gods sprinkling clean water upon them and giving them a new heart and putting his Spirit into them in the next Vision chap. 37 the said Promises are confirmed by two visions and explications plainly and distinctly set down by God himself as in our Word written pag. 10.11 In the next Vision he shews how Gog their great Oppressor shall be destroyed who is aptly there described to the life and said to come in the latter days twice Ezek. 38.8 16. chap. 39. and from theace to the end of that Book deciphers in reference to the Jews their happy estate in the Davidical Kingdom of Christ who being that Jehovah will personally be there as we shewed before upon many considerations c. So that Ezekiel's evidence being rightly understood as in many of those may appear compared with like portions of Scripture his Testimony may well be applied as a very strong Foundation of Faith bearing its weight with all the rest IX Ninthly Twice strongly ratified to Daniel two ways First By Viou onely Dan. 2. upon Gods revealing to him the Exposition of Nebuchadnezzar's Dream viz. That after the four Mettle Kingdoms were past there should succeed the two-fold state of Christ the Sonof mans Kingdom namely 1. The Kingdom of the Stone vers 4. 2. The Kingdom of the Mouat●in vers 35. Secondly Both by Vision and Revelation Chap. 7. 1. By Vision of four Beasts or four Kings as v. 17. ruining each other before the Kingdom of the Son of man should take place at his coming in the Clouds of Heaven when Dominion over all Nations shall be given to him to the worlds end vers 13 14. 2. By Revelation from vers 16 to the end of the Chapter especially vers 17. the four Beasts are said to be four Kings and vers 27. and as Luc. 22.29 they shall be made his Delegates yet so as all shall obey him Both Daniel's said Revelations and the several Visions either seen or recorded by him concerning Christs Davidical Kingdom are not onely consonant to former Prophecies and Types thereof and especially with Gods gracious Message by Nathan lately insisted upon from 2 Sam. 7. but also with all the particular Branches following to be considered in their order and nature which manifest more and more this said so divine and glorious Scripture-Truth respecting the said Kingdom which is the main subject of our third part viz. the Parallel with its appendants as thereby may be seen and considered being of very great use rightly to understand much of holy Scripture c. Therefore we shall here say no more thereof but refer the Reader thereunto onely admonishing him against two learned Errours for learned mens authority hath been much pleaded for them and hath long upheld them First of such as will have the Book of Revelation to begin where Daniel ends as if both those Books were a continuation of the same History c. Secondly Of such as make the Selucidae and Lagidae which were but the broken parts of the Greek-Kingdom to be the fourth Monarchy in Daniel which the Spirit of God recko ●eth no further than Antiochus Epiphanes who was repulsed by the Roman Navies appearance before Alexandria which Mr. Mede manlfests to be those Ships of Chittim fore-told by Balaam Numb 24.24 and fulfilled then as Dan. 11.30 Unto which two a third late mistake may be added of them that would make the Book of Revelations to be an History of things much past when given and not a Prophecy of things to come to the end of the world Whereas contrary to all three the Book of Revelation is meerly a divine mystical Comment or Exposition of that hidden part of Daniel then shut up and ●ealed up t●ll the time of the end as we shewed in our preface to the Parallel and elsewhere So that the right understanding of Revelation-Prophecy must necessarily be shut out thereby to all such as retain any of tho●e mi●s-opinions See for this also the contrary Judgment and Reasons of many learned men in our fifth convincing Argument in the Word Written X. Tenthly Applied often by our Saviour in the Gospel to the Kingdom of the Son of man Matth. 13 41. and the Son of mans coming in his Kingdom Matth. 16.28 And It is your Fathers good pleasure to give you a Kingdom Luc. 12.32 Again Now is my Kingdom not from hence John 18.37 And I have appointed unto you a Kingdom as my Father hath appointed unto me which is the same which Daniel in vision saw him coming to receive Dan 7.13 14. and was promi●ed before to him as the Son of David 2 Sam. 7. which
