THE Day-Dawning And the DAY-STAR Arising to the Dispersed of JUDAH ISRAEL Wherein is briefly handled Their CALL AND CHRISTS Second coming whose day is neer at hand By THO. COLLIER LONDON Printed by H. Hills for T. Brewster at the three Bibles neer the West end of Pauls 1655. 〈…〉 It may seem strange that I at such a distance from you and not of your nation should trouble my self so much about your estate being a people now despicable in the worlds eyes scattered and dispersed among the nations and upon a rational account unlikely to be a people beloved for the Fathers sake and that shall be honoured of God when the nations shall fall before you and confess you a people sought out and saved and not forsaken but I have had several prevailing arguments in mine own heart which have occasioned me to present you with this Epistle and I intreat and beseech you for the Lords sake and for the love of the truth that you do read this Epistle and ponder it well in your hearts desiring the God of Grace to give you an understanding in the truth herein presented to you for with much bowels of tenderness and love have I written to you the reasons moving me thereunto are these 1. That cleer discovery God hath given me by his Spirit from the Word of truth of his intention to do you good and that although you have been a long time rejected and scattered for your own sake yet you are beloved and shall be gathered for the Fathers sake Secondly being thus instructed in the truth of your calling it lay much as a duty upon my heart and I am confident from the Lord to write unto you that I might perform my duty to you in my generation leaving the blessing to the Lord. Thirdly Likewise being assured that the time of your gathering is at hand Fourthly knowing likewise that your fullness will be the time of the deliverance of all believing Gentiles now dispersed and trampled under foot for their Lords sake for he was given to be a light to the Gentiles and the glory of his people Israel Fifthly and last I finde it to be the desire of Manasseh Ben Israel in his book titled The hope of Israel in his Epistle to the Reader That if any to whom his book came had any thing worthy of posterity that they would give him notice of it I have not here presented you with any thing of History or outward learning but have indeavored according to the grace received in the plain evidence and demonstration of the Spirit and power of truth to present you with such things as may through the blessing of God tend to your eternal good The first principle of truth I have to present you with is that the true and promised Messiah was according to the counsel of God to suffer death for the redemption of sinners and this I shall clear unto you by convincing grounds from the Scriptures Moses and the Prophets whom you know and own and my earnest desire for you at the throne of grace is that the God of grace may give you an understanding in the knowledge of this truth This I shall confirm unto you from three grounds 1. Promises 2. Types 3. Prophesies First Is that Promise of grace Gen. 3. 15. I will put enmity between thee and the woman and between thy seed and hers it shall bruise thy head and thou shalt bruise his heel This promise hath a special relation to the Messiah and clearly presents us with his suffering that by his death he should break the Serpents head viz. the head of Satan though he himself were bruised though he suffered in the flesh yet he should overcome in suffering I do not deny but that this hath been and is accomplished in all that truely know the Lord Satan sin and evil men oppose but the seed of the woman hath and will bruise the head of all in and for his people though he himself was appointed to be bruised by the Serpents seed to this agreeth Isa 53. 5. He was bruised for our iniquitiès c. Secondly see it clearly and fully presented in types and shaddows first the Paschal Lambe or Passeover mentioned Exod. 12. was a lively representation of the crucifying of the Lamb of God the Messiah who was to come and by his blood to make attonement and peace for sinners that as the children of Israel were then made partakers of a deliverance out of Egypt by that means the killing of a Lamb eating the flesh and sprinkling the door-post with the blood c. so must the Messiah give his life and blood for the redemption of his people out of spiritual Egypt darkness oppression both of Jews and Gentiles 2. All the sacrifices offerings by the Priests commanded in the law of Moses were clear types and representations of the sufferings of the Messiah the offering of Lambs Rams Bullocks c. to be sin-offerings burnt-offerings and peace-offerings c. all presentations of Christ the Messiah in English the anointed who was to be the alone peace and sin-offering for his people the Priest was to offer sacrifice for sin as is exprest at large Levit. 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 and 9 Chapters and Chap. 16. 34. they were to make an attonement once a yeer both for themselves and the people All these offerings could not do away sin but as it had a relation to the true offering he that was to offer himself once for all that he might by one offering for ever perfect them that were by him sanctified this truth you shall see when the Lord taketh away the veil that is spread over your faces that clearly under all these offerings is represented the offering up of the true Messiah once for all c. 3. This truth is likewise clearly prophesied that he that runs may read There is scarce any prophet of God but did foresee and foretell of this truth the sufferings of the Messiah Moses the servant of the Lord and great prophet and type of the anointed as you may see Dcut. 18. 15. he by the inspiration of the Lord presents him much as hath been minded In his suffering estate the prophet David likewise in Psal 22. presents him a sufferer particularly in vers 16. They peirced my hands and my feet a clear prophesie of the Messiah I beseech you weigh it in your hearts David was never peirced in his hands and feet See likewise the prophet Isaiah chap. 53. throughout describing the Messiah that he was wounded and bruised rejected of men a man of sorrows and acquainted with griefs and that God laid upon him the iniquity of us all And Zach. 12. 10. They shall look upon him whom they have peirced all which confirms the truth that the Messiah which you look for was to come forth first in his humiliation in contempt in suffering c. SECT II. THe second principle of truth that I have to
