comes not only to be glorified himself but to be glorified in his Saints and to be admired in all them that believe 2 Thes 1.10 therefore it is stiled The glorius Appearing of the great God even of our Saviour Jesus Christ Titus 2.13 Christ at his coming will be clothed with such glory that will put it out of doubt that he is the Son of God that he is the Son of Man the true Messiah that was promised and exhibited to the World It is said Then shall appear the Sign of the Son of Man Matt. 24.30 Ferus takes this Sign of the Son of Man to be the Sign of the Cross but the Note of Calvin on the Text is more solid and judicious He takes that eminent and transcendent Glory that Christ will appear in to be the Sign of the Son of Man Those that were not convinced and perswaded by all the Signs and Miracles that Christ wrought that he was the Messiah shall by his glorious Appearing by his Illustrious Majesty as a demonstrative and convincing Sign be assured fully that he is the Son of Man the Promised Messiah None shall doubt none shall be left at uncertainties about it no Unbeliever shall remain Tho' the Scribes and Pharisees would not regard Christ's Miracles or be induced by them to believe yet he tells them of an invincible convincing evidence that should one day be afforded to them but too late He insists on and minds them of this very sign of the Son of Man Matt. 6.64 Hereafter you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power and coming in the clouds of Heaven You that now condemn me for saying that I am the Messiah and the Son of God shall one day see me as a Judge coming to Arraign Sentence and Condemn you 4. The coming of Christ will be very open and evident to the whole World When he first appeared he shewed himself to few but to the Jewish Nation After his Resurrection we read of none of the unbelieving World that beheld him He appeared only to and was seen by none but by his Disciples who were to inform the World of this truth that he was raised The unbelieving Jews and Gentiles were not to see Christ's raised and glorified Body but to believe his Resurrection but Christ will so openly at last appear that every eye shall see him Rev. 1.7 They also that pierced him shall behold him Jews and Gentiles Heathens and Mahumetans Loose and Prophane Christians shall see him Believers and Saints shall then point him out with joy Lo this is our God we have waited for him Is 25.9 And he hath not deceived our Faith or frustrated our Hope and Expectation They that would not believe what they did not see shall now see but to their terror They that were averse from the Life of Faith and wholly devoted to the Life of Sense shall now have Seeing enough they shall behold what will affright dismay and overwhelm them God doth now require and call for a high and noble Exercise of Faith in relation to invisible things at which the Heathen of Old scoffed yet he doth and will condescend to give evidence and satisfaction as at Christ's first appearing he was visible to the eye of the Body Is 40.9 O Zion that bringest glad tidings lift up thy voice and be not afraid say unto the Cities of Judah Behold your God This was a strange and wonderful truth and Zion might be afraid to publish it yet she is twice bid to lift up her voice and that with strength not to be afraid aloud to sound out and proclaim this amazing and astonishing truth Say to the Cities of Judah Behold your God behold God is come down to you in a Humane Nature God is walking among you in a Body of Flesh preaching working Miracles familiarly conversing with you The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld his Glory John 1.14 So at his second coming Christ will be evident to the eye and as it were pointed out by the Finger of Men Behold he cometh in the clouds and every eye shall see him Rev. 1.7 Saints shall say to those that have upbraided them with the invisible object of their Faith Lo this is our God we have waited for him Is 25.9 Tho' the unbelieving World did Reproach Christians and say Where is your God yet Saints one day consute all their Calumnies and silence all their Insultings and Upbraidings they shall point out Christ coming in all his Majesty and Glory and say Lo this is our God we have waited for him and he will save us and we will be glad and rejoyce in his salvation Is 25.9 5. This Revelation of Christ will cause Mourning to the greatest part of the World it will be a black bitter terrible day to most Matt. 24.30 All the Tribes of the Earth shall mourn all the Kindreds of the Earth shall wail because of him Rev. 1.7 when they shall see the Son of Man coming in the Clouds of Heaven with power and great glory They shall mourn when it is too late to repent they shall wail when their sorrow will not prevent but begin their Punishment and Hell Now they shall to their cost know how great a Person they have refused and how high an Happiness they have rejected that they have turned from a Saviour and so forfeited true Blessedness and rebelled against the great God and so have incurred the worst and severest penalties These three things shall be reviewed and reflected on 1. What they have done 2. What they have lost 3. What they must suffer and endure to Eternity when they shall bleed by the edge of God's Sword and smart under the Chastisement of the Scorpions of Revenging Justice 1. Sinners that consider what they have done that they have turned away from him that spake out of the bosom of his Fathers love and from the Throne of his own glory Ps 81.11 That they would have none of him who is the true God and eternal Life that they stopped their Ears and hardned their Hearts against the wooings of the best Bridegroom against the call of the great Shepherd and of the Captain of Salvation against the intreaties of a Saviour and Redeemer They will now reflect on the frequent denials they gave to and the many affronts they put upon the Lord of Glory how they hated and abhorred his Yoke despised and loathed his Feast did not submit to and come into his Righteousness but rebelled resisted vexed and quenched the holy Spirit of God 2. They shall know now what they have lost that the Treasury of Grace will now be locked the Fountain of Life sealed the bowels of Christ will be for ever shut against them notwithstanding their extream poverty and misery The door of God's House will be shut never to be opened again How woful will this be to be excluded out of God's Palace and to be thrust out of his Kingdom
