Dominion shall not pass away or the Scepter and law-giving Power shall not pass away from him as it did from Judah nor shall his Kingdom ever be destroyed Dan. 7.14 but God will give to him the Throre of his Father David and he shall reign over the House of Jacob forever and of his Kingdom there shall be no end Qu. But who are the People that shall be gathered to him Answ The People that shall he●r his voice and come at his call that shall receive the instruction of Wisdom and feel the drawing Power and Virtue of the Father in the Day of his Power It is written in the Prophets All thy Children shall be taught of the Lord.

Was not the Messiah promised to the Jews to come of them and to be appropriated to them Answ He was promised to them and to come of them but not to be appropriated to them But he was to be the Universal Saviour to all that should come under his Ensign and Banner He shall set up an Ensign for the Nations and he shall sprinkle many Nations c. And God promised that he would give his Son his elect choice Servant for a Light to the Gentiles Qu. Were the Jews then excluded Answ No They were to be gathered to Shiloh as well as others Nay the Lord had a special regard to them The Gospel was first preached to them They had the first Offer or the first Call to the spiritual Glory They were the Children of the Prophets and of the Covenant God made with their Fathers unto whom God having raised up his Son Jesus sent him to bless them in turning away every one of them from their Iniquities And the whole Nation turning from their Iniquities should have been gathered by him and should have enjoyed the Blessing of his Day and Kingdom Yea the first gathering was from among them and the first glorious Gospel-church was at Jerusalem where the Spirit and Power of the Lord Jesus did most eminently and wonderfully break forth and great Grace was upon them all But the Nation was not gathered to Shiloh nor did come under his Scepter and Government but only a remnant of the Nation So these being gathered the rest were cast off and the Ensign was carried among the Gentiles and the great gathering was there among them Qu. How is it manifest that the great Gathering to Shiloh was to be from among the Gentiles Answ By many expess Prophecies of Scripture and Promises to the Messiah that he should have the Gentiles for his Inheritance and Possession VVhen God establisheth his King the Messiah upon the holy Hill of spiritual Zion notwithstanding all the Heathens rage against him and the People of the Jews imagining a vain thing thinking to keep the Body of him in the grave who was the Resurrection and the Life what saith the Lord to him Ask of me and I will give thee the Heathen thine Inheritance and the uttermost Parts of the Earth thy Possession Psalm 2. The Lord said in another place It is a light thing that thou shouldst be my Servant to raise up the Tribes of Jacob and to restore the preserved of Israel I will also give thee for a Light to the Gentiles that thou mayest be my Salvation unto the Ends of the Earth Isa 49.6 Again the Lord saith further From the rising of the Sun even unto the going down of the same my Name shall be great among the Gentiles and in every place Incense shall be offered unto my Name and a pure Offering For my Name shall be great among the Heathen saith the Lord of Hosts Mal. 1.11 Sing O barren thou that didst not bear break forth into singing and cry aloud thou that didst not travel with Child for more are the Children of the Desolate th●n the Children of the married Wife saith the Lord Isa 54.1 Who was the married Wife who was the Mother in the Dayes of the first Covenant was it not the Jerusalem below Who was then Desolate and Barren was it not another Jerusalem which is free and the Mother of all the spiritual Children Why was she now to rejoyce and sing But because she was to break forth on the right hand and on the left and her Seed was to inherit the Gentiles and make the desolate Cities to be inhabited ver 3. The Covenant on Mount Sinai did bring forth a great People whereof Jerusulem that was below was the Mother The Covenant afterwards made besides that in Horeb whereof the Word nigh in the heart and mouth is the Foundation by which Word God circumcifeth was as yet Barren and did not bring forth a People to the Lord. But this Covenant was to have a time the Jerusalem above was to have a time wherein her Seed should inherit the Gentiles and the Maker the Husband should be called the God of the whole Earth ver 5. Read Gal. 4. and see how the Apostle of the Gentiles expounds this Mystery shewing which is the free woman and her free Children and which is the bond woman and which the bond Children who are cast out in the Day of God and in the shining of his Heavenly Light inwardly and cannot inherit the glorious Kingdom of the Gospel with the Children of the free woman And consider who were the People in the time of the first Covenant VVho obtained Mercy then VVere they not the Jews And who were not a People and who did not ob●ain mercy but were left out of the love and mercy of the first Covenant VVere they not the Gentiles And did not the Lord promise that he would have mercy on them that had not obtained mercy and that he would say to them that were not his People THOV ART MY PEOPLE and they shall say MY GOD Hos 2.23 compared vvith Rom. 9.26 VVas not this once gloriously fulfilled in the first Visitation of the Gentiles And is it not again gloriously fulfilled in his novv visiting them again vvith the fresh Sound of the everlasting Gospel as vvas promised Rev. 14.7 O vvhat a Promise is that concerning the Day of God that In that day there shall be a Root of Jesse which shall stand for an Ensign of the People to it shall the Gentiles seek and his Rest shall be glorious Isa 11.10 Is not This the Day wherein the holy Mountain is known and that nothing can hurt or destroy there And doth not the Knowledge of the Lord cover his Land his Earth as the VVaters do the Sea And doth not the Root of Jesse the Rock of Life and Salvation stand for an Ensign placed so by God and who can displace it or shake them that are built on the inward Mount Zion Yea is not the Rest of the weary Soul when 〈◊〉 comes hither found to be very glorious
