A89056	A further discovery of the mystery of the last times; as an addition to a little book, called Some discoveries of the mystery of the last times, bordering upon the coming of the Lord Jesus. Set forth for the good of all men; but especially of those who in these dissenting times (wherein Ephraim envieth Juda, and Juda vexeth Ephraim) know not where to settle themselves, or to what society of Christians to joyn themselves: wherein is (as simply and plainly, as the author was able to open those mysterious scriptures quoted in this following treatise) shewed the cause of all our divisions and contentions about matters pertaining to form and order in the church of Jesus Christ; and wherein is moderately proved from those scriptures these particulars. 1. The flourishing and building condition of the church of Jesus Christ in the time of the gospel. ... 7. Lastly, that the Lord Jesus will by himself destroy all those enemies, and deliver his people, when the restoration of all things shall be.

shall_v be_v scatter_v among_o the_o antichristian_a state_n as_o be_v clear_a in_o the_o 2_o verse_n where_o it_o be_v say_v the_o good_a man_n be_v perish_v out_o of_o the_o earth_n and_o there_o

now_o pray_v hear_v what_o the_o prophet_n zephaniah_n say_v touch_v this_o day_n or_o the_o time_n of_o this_o dispensation_n of_o the_o lord_n people_n in_o his_o first_o chapter_n and_o 15._o verse_n he_o say_v that_o day_n be_v a_o day_n of_o wrath_n a_o day_n of_o trouble_n and_o distress_n a_o day_n of_o wastness_n and_o desolation_n a_o day_n of_o darkness_n and_o gloominess_n a_o day_n of_o cloud_n and_o thick_a darkness_n and_o then_o in_o the_o 17._o verse_n he_o say_v i_o will_v bring_v distress_n upon_o man_n that_o they_o shall_v walk_v like_o blind_a man_n and_o the_o

chapter_n 14._o 5_o 6._o he_o say_v speak_v of_o the_o last_o time_n and_o you_o shall_v flee_v to_o the_o valley_n of_o the_o mountain_n for_o the_o valley_n of_o the_o mountain_n shall_v reach_v

and_o in_o that_o day_n the_o light_n shall_v not_o be_v clear_a nor_o dark_a but_o it_o shall_v be_v one_o day_n know_v unto_o the_o lord_n not_o day_n nor_o night_n but_o it_o shall_v come_v to_o

and_o thus_o much_o for_o proof_n from_o the_o prophecy_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n of_o this_o sleepy_a or_o dead_a condition_n of_o the_o people_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n in_o the_o last_o

they_o out_o of_o their_o bondage_n and_o captivity_n in_o which_o the_o earth_n shall_v be_v fill_v with_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o lord_n as_o the_o water_n cover_v the_o sea_n i_o shall_v now_o proceed_v as_o the_o lord_n shall_v enable_v i_o to_o prove_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o sleepy_a or_o dead_a condition_n from_o the_o new_a testament_n therefore_o pray_v mind_n our_o saviour_n mat._n the_o 25_o in_o the_o parable_n of_o the_o ten_o virgin_n say_v while_o the_o bridegroom_n tarry_v all_o slumber_v and_o sleep_v thereby_o show_v that_o when_o the_o bridegroom_n shall_v appear_v

to_o flee_v unto_o i_o conceive_v to_o be_v the_o mountain_n of_o the_o protestant_a church_n for_o as_o rome_n may_v be_v account_v a_o great_a mountain_n so_o the_o protestant_a church_n may_v be_v term_v lesser_a mountain_n unto_o which_o the_o people_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v exhort_v to_o flee_v so_o also_o he_o say_v in_o ver_fw-la 29._o speak_v of_o the_o darkness_n of_o the_o last_o time_n before_o his_o appear_v the_o sun_n shall_v be_v darken_v and_o the_o moon_n shall_v not_o give_v her_o light_n the_o star_n shall_v fall_v from_o heaven_n and_o the_o power_n of_o heaven_n shall_v

the_o dark_a time_n at_o his_o appear_v as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o day_n of_o no_n so_o shall_v it_o be_v in_o the_o day_n when_o the_o son_n of_o man_n shall_v be_v reveal_v then_o shall_v two_o be_v

imply_v thus_o much_o when_o the_o lord_n shall_v appear_v all_o thing_n shall_v be_v in_o a_o mingle_a condition_n and_o the_o people_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n in_o the_o same_o work_n with_o the_o

shall_v he_o find_v faith_n on_o the_o earth_n and_o if_o faith_n be_v so_o scanty_a then_o doubtless_o the_o ordinance_n in_o their_o purity_n so_o in_o luke_n 17._o 22._o our_o saviour_n tell_v

deceive_v you_o by_o any_o mean_n for_o that_o day_n shall_v not_o come_v except_o there_o come_v a_o fall_v away_o first_o and_o that_o man_n of_o sin_n be_v reveal_v the_o son_n of_o perdition_n who_o oppose_v and_o exalt_v himself_o above_o all_o that_o be_v call_v god_n or_o that_o be_v worship_v so_o that_o he_o sit_v in_o the_o temple_n of_o god_n show_v himself_o as_o if_o he_o be_v god_n that_o be_v as_o i_o conceive_v in_o sit_v and_o rule_v in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o defile_v all_o the_o whole_a worship_n of_o god_n so_o that_o by_o degree_n the_o son_n or_o spirit_n forsake_v that_o worship_n and_o so_o the_o people_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n be_v asleep_a or_o dead_a in_o respect_n of_o that_o outward_a order_n which_o be_v in_o the_o first_o gospel_n time_n by_o gift_n and_o ordinance_n in_o their_o purity_n which_o be_v clear_a from_o the_o 7._o verse_n where_o it_o be_v say_v for_o the_o mystery_n of_o iniquity_n do_v already_o work_v only_o he_o who_o now_o let_v will_v let_v until_o he_o be_v take_v away_o that_o be_v as_o i_o conceive_v until_o the_o lord_n have_v call_v back_o all_o the_o outgoing_n of_o his_o spirit_n from_o the_o outward_a

then_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o lord_n depart_v from_o off_o the_o threshold_n of_o the_o house_n and_o stand_v over_o the_o cherubim_n and_o then_o in_o the_o 23_o verse_n of_o the_o 11_o chapter_n

holy_a place_n which_o drive_v the_o presence_n of_o god_n spirit_n out_o of_o that_o place_n that_o be_v once_o holy_a a_o second_o reason_n i_o take_v from_o that_o text_n daniel_n the_o 11._o 31._o which_o be_v the_o place_n of_o the_o prophet_n as_o i_o conceive_v which_o our_o saviour_n mean_v where_o it_o be_v say_v speak_v of_o antiochus_n and_o army_n shall_v stand_v on_o his_o part_n and_o

which_o text_n be_v fulfil_v the_o first_o of_o maccabee_n the_o first_o chapter_n 54._o ver_fw-la which_o be_v a_o type_n of_o that_o abomination_n which_o our_o saviour_n speak_v of_o meaning_n as_o i_o conceive_v that_o of_o daniel_n the_o 11._o 31._o now_o as_o antiochus_n by_o his_o power_n do_v pollute_v the_o temple_n of_o the_o lord_n by_o command_v the_o daily_a sacrifice_n to_o cease_v

also_o in_o that_o great_a change_n there_o will_v be_v a_o people_n that_o in_o the_o esteem_n of_o the_o world_n and_o in_o these_o action_n which_o be_v set_v forth_o as_o mark_n of_o the_o true_a

unto_o the_o jew_n which_o esteem_v themselves_o as_o a_o fruitful_a field_n and_o count_v the_o gentile_n as_o a_o forest_n and_o by_o our_o saviour_n and_o his_o apostle_n preach_v be_v convert_v and_o become_v the_o fruitful_a field_n and_o the_o jew_n become_v the_o forest_n for_o answer_v unto_o which_o i_o do_v acknowledge_v that_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n have_v prophecy_n touch_v the_o same_o thing_n but_o those_o three_o place_n speak_v of_o that_o great_a change_n at_o the_o lord_n bright_a appear_v to_o restore_v all_o thing_n which_o i_o shall_v prove_v from_o the_o text_n themselves_o where_o note_v in_o the_o 29._o chap._n and_o 20._o verse_n he_o say_v for_o the_o terrible_a one_o be_v bring_v to_o nought_o and_o the_o scorner_n be_v consume_v and_o all_o that_o watch_n for_o iniquity_n be_v cut_v off_o which_o be_v not_o yet_o perform_v for_o there_o be_v many_o that_o yet_o watch_v for_o iniquity_n and_o many_o scorner_n not_o cut_v off_o and_o then_o in_o the_o 22_o verse_n it_o be_v say_v therefore_o thus_o say_v the_o lord_n who_o redeem_v abraham_n concern_v the_o house_n of_o jacob_n jacob_n shall_v not_o now_o be_v ashamed_a neither_o shall_v his_o face_n wax_v pale_a which_o show_v clear_o that_o this_o change_n be_v to_o be_v wrought_v when_o the_o lord_n restore_v the_o house_n of_o jacob_n and_o i_o believe_v no_o man_n will_v say_v that_o jacob_n be_v yet_o restore_v and_o in_o the_o 32._o chapter_n and_o 13._o verse_n it_o be_v say_v speak_v of_o that_o desolate_a condition_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o i_o conceive_v mystical_o also_o of_o the_o believe_a gentile_n upon_o the_o land_n of_o my_o people_n shall_v come_v up_o thorn_n and_o brier_n yea_o upon_o all_o the_o house_n of_o joy_n in_o the_o joyous_a city_n and_o in_o next_o verse_n he_o show_v the_o reason_n because_o the_o palace_n shall_v be_v forsake_v the_o multitude_n of_o the_o city_n shall_v be_v leave_v the_o fort_n and_o tower_n which_o i_o conceive_v be_v mystical_o church_n shall_v be_v den_n for_o ever_o a_o joy_n of_o wild_a ass_n a_o pasture_n of_o flock_n but_o after_o the_o spirit_n be_v pour_v out_o in_o the_o 18._o verse_n he_o say_v and_o my_o people_n shall_v dwell_v in_o a_o peaceable_a habitation_n and_o in_o sure_a dwelling_n and_o in_o quiet_a rest_a place_n which_o can_v yet_o be_v apply_v unto_o the_o jew_n nor_o yet_o to_o the_o believe_a gentile_n and_o touch_v that_o text_n in_o the_o 35._o chapter_n pray_v take_v notice_n that_o the_o prophet_n have_v in_o the_o 34._o chapter_n speak_v of_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o nation_n but_o especial_o of_o idumea_n or_o mystical_a false_a brethren_n come_v in_o the_o 35._o chapter_n to_o say_v the_o wilderness_n and_o the_o solitary_a place_n shall_v be_v glad_a for_o they_o that_o be_v for_o their_o destruction_n and_o the_o desert_n shall_v rejoice_v and_o blossom_n as_o a_o rose_n and_o then_o in_o the_o second_o verse_n it_o be_v say_v the_o glory_n of_o lebanon_n shall_v be_v give_v unto_o it_o that_o be_v to_o the_o wilderne_v and_o i_o be_o sure_a this_o be_v not_o yet_o perform_v neither_o to_o the_o nation_n nor_o yet_o to_o the_o church_n which_o in_o this_o chapter_n be_v compare_v to_o a_o wilderness_n and_o parch_a ground_n therefore_o i_o conclude_v these_o text_n be_v no_o way_n appliable_a to_o the_o jew_n and_o gentile_n at_o the_o lord_n first_o appear_v and_o thus_o much_o by_o way_n of_o digression_n now_o again_o to_o my_o former_a matter_n seven_o i_o shall_v prove_v that_o the_o people_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n must_v wait_v for_o their_o master_n by_o watch_v and_o prayer_n in_o this_o sleepy_a and_o dead_a condition_n without_o the_o purity_n of_o ordinance_n by_o that_o deaf_a lame_a and_o blind_a condition_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v find_v in_o when_o the_o lord_n destroy_v babylon_n and_o deliver_v they_o and_o this_o i_o shall_v prove_v from_o isa._n the_o 29._o 18._o and_o 35._o 5_o 6._o in_o which_o place_n it_o be_v say_v then_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o blind_a shall_v be_v open_v and_o the_o ear_n of_o the_o deaf_a shall_v be_v unstop_v then_o shall_v the_o lame_a man_n leap_v as_o a_o hart_n and_o the_o tongue_n of_o the_o dumb_a sing_v and_o why_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o great_a change_n he_o say_v for_o in_o the_o wilderness_n shall_v stream_n break_v forth_o and_o water_n in_o the_o desert_n and_o all_o this_o to_o follow_v the_o destruction_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o false_a brethren_n as_o in_o the_o forego_n chapter_n now_o if_o it_o be_v thus_o that_o when_o the_o lord_n deliver_v his_o people_n by_o destroy_v their_o enemy_n they_o shall_v be_v blind_a lame_a and_o deaf_a and_o like_o a_o wilderness_n which_o i_o think_v no_o man_n will_v be_v so_o impudent_a as_o to_o affirm_v that_o the_o people_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n shall_v be_v blind_a lame_a and_o deas_fw-mi and_o like_o a_o wilderness_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n as_o faith_n hope_n love_n self-deniall_n and_o meekness_n but_o in_o respect_n of_o outward_a order_n and_o discipline_n how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o we_o have_v so_o
