this time of her renewed beauty be as short before he shall be loosed to work this his last misehiefe against her Then shall the Sunne be darkned more then ever it had been it shall be as black as Sackcloth of haire and the Moon shall not onely be darkned but also be turned into blood as it is said Rev. 6.12 according to Ioel 2.31 For great bloodshed shall be upon the earth at this time as the Prophet Esay also saith And the Starres that is such as are in outward place and name as starres and lights in the Church shall like untimely figges fall from Christian religion to Mahometisme or other such like heathenish Apostasie and then shall the powers of the Heavens bee shaken These are the signes that shall goe before the great and terrible day of the Lord as those Scriptures before mentioned declare And then those Armies of Gog and Magog being destroyed by fire from heaven and the Devill that deceived them being cast into the lake of fire the seventh Angell shall sound the great and last trumpet as followeth Vers 15. And the seventh Angel sounded with a Trumpet and there were made lowd voyces in heaven saying The Kingdomes of this world are made our Lords and his Christs and hee shall reigne for ever and ever Amen MAny great things are to bee done at the sounding of this Trumpet For this is it of which St. Paul saith We which are alive and remain unto the comming of the Lord shall not prevent them that are asleep for the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout with the voyce of the Archangel with the Trump of God and the dead in Christ shall rise first then we which are are alive and remain shall bee caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the aire and so shall we be even with the Lord 1 Thess 4.15 16 17. And again Behold I shew you a mystery we shall not all sleep but wee shall all be changed in a moment in the twinckling of an eye at the last trump for the trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised incorruptible and we shall be changed c. 1 Cor. 15.51 52 53. And Christ saith Mat. 24. Then shall appeare the signe of the Son of man in heaven and then shall all the Tribes of the earth mourn and they shall see the Sonne of Man comming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory and he shall send his Angels with a great sound of a Trumpet and they shall gather together his elect from the foure winds c. vers 30 31. And again Rev. 10. And the Angel which I saw stand upon the Sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven and sware by him that liveth for ever and ever who created heaven and the things that therein are and the earth and the things that therein are and the sea and the things that are therein that there should be time no longer But in the dayes of the voyce of the seventh Angel when he shall begin to sound the mystery of God should be finished as he hath declared to his servants the Prophets verse 5 6 7. When this great and last trumpet shall sound mentioned in all those places before cited and whereof the Prophet Esay long before this spake Esai 27.13 Then shall all those great things be done spoken of in the same places The Lord shall come in his glory and then hee shall sit in the throne of his glory the dead both good and bad shall be brought before him and be judged Then shall all the Tribes and kindreds of the earth even the whole multitude of the ungodly that ever had been on the earth and they also which pierced him see him and mourn and waile because of him and hee shall send his Angels with the sound of the same great Trumpet and they shall gather his elect together from the four winds c. Then there shall bee time for repentance no longer but the great mystery of God shall be finished even that great mystery of the redemption of all Gods chosen ones the whole house of Israel spirituall as he had declared to his servants the Prophets and whereof they all that have been since the world began have spoken according as it is testified of them Luke 1.69 70 71 c. Acts 3.21 and as their own written prophesies doe shew more abundantly And this is that redemption wherewith the Lord himselfe doth comfort his chosen hee having foreshewed all the sig●●● that should goe before the same saying And when yee see these things begin to come to passe then look up and lift up your heads for your redemption draweth neere Then know yee that the kingdome of God is nigh at hand Luke 22.28 31. Now the kingdomes of this world so long time usurped by Monarchs and Antichrists shall be made the Kingdomes of our Lord and of his Christ and he shall reigne for ever and ever The kingdomes of this world in respect of the creation and workes of God for so by right they did alwayes belong to the Lord and to his anointed the Prince of the Covenant though they have been usurped and polluted by Satan and his powers of wickednesse which now shall be removed and the earth and heavens cleansed all things shall be new as it is written Esay 65.27 60.22 2 Pet. 3.13 Rev. 21.1.5 This corrupt world shall be purged and made incorruptible as these our corrupt bodies shall and instead of corruption and evill righteousnes and holines shall dwell therein And so in this consideration as the state shall be in the restitution of all things differing from that it is now it shall be another world not this and therefore the Scripture calleth it the world to come Heb. 2.5 c. This present world is not that world which was before the Flood as Peter saith The world that then was being overflowed with water perished 2 Pet. 3.6 and yet we all know and so did Peter that in respect of the works of Gods creation of the heavens and the earth it is the same though in some other kind of respect it is not the same but another So the world to come though it shall bee another world farre differing from this world in state and condition yet in those respects of creation it will be the same And therefore it may rightly be said in the day when the Lord shall come to reigne The Kingdomes of this world are made our Lords and his Christs and he shall reigne for ever and ever And because others to whom they belong not doe now possesse them And they with the whole earth unto the utmost ends thereof by right of inheritance are the Lords as it is written I will declare the decree the Lord hath said unto me Thou art my Sonne this day have I begotten thee Ask of me and I will give thee the heathen for thine

the body untill the resurrection of the body and then so to rise with it and be named for both For one corrupt opinion or point of false doctrine brings alwayes more of the like nature with it But I leave this to their consideration and come again to the Text to see what it further saith Ver. 16. And the four and twenty Elders which sate on their seats in the sight of God fell on their faces and adoring God said Wee thank thee Lord God omnipotent which art which wast and which shalt come because thou hast received thy great power and brightnesse NOw the seventh Angel having sounded the great and last Trumpet the Lord being come in his glory and the Kingdomes of this world made his who is to reign for ever and ever world without end Hereupon the four and twenty Elders which are Moses and the Prophets as the four Beasts mentioned in Chap. 4.9 are the four Evangelists fall down on their faces before the throne of God adoring him for that his judgements against Antichrist and his worshippers which they by the seven-fold Spirit of Majesty given them of God spake of and denounced from time to time against them were now justified upon them And the everlasting Kingdome of the Lord their God whose dominion reacheth from Sea to Sea from the River to the ends of the earth is now set up for evermore according to all that he had foreshewed them and by the same Spirit spoken by them Hereupon they falling down and adoring the justification of God break forth into praises and thanksgiviving saying We thank thee Lord God omnipotent which art which wast and which shalt come because thou hast received thy great power and brightnesse c. Ver. 17. And the Gentiles were angry and thy wrath is come and the time of the dead to be judged and to render reward to thy servants the Prophets Saints to them that fear thy Name little and great and to destroy them that have corrupted the earth ANd notwithstanding the rage fury of those great Monarchs of the world that like wild Boares of the Forest that rose up against the Lord and against his people and Citie Ierusalem and of those Beasts of the field which said against the Lord and his anointed Let us break their bonds asunder and cast their cords from us And of all those Antichristian powers of so long continuance that have with the rest to fill up their measure rejected the Lord and trode his truth to the ground and made the holy Citie of his Saints as a street to trample upon And of all that innumerable multitude of Gog and Magog which that old Serpent the Devill and Satan shall at last gather together with their mighty men and chiefe Captaines against this great day of the Lord bringing them down and compassing the camp of his Saints about and the beloved Citie intending to destroy root out and take the prey and spoyle of all These all who are here described as they are also in Psa 2. by the name of Gentiles And the Gentiles were angry c. are now to endure the wrath judgment of him who with justice judgeth The great day of his wrath being come and the time of the dead to be judged Now the Lord for whose glory this day is made will render unto every man justly and truly according to their works and wayes wherein their hearts have walked and delighted First to his Servants his Prophets his Saints and Martyrs that through faith and patience have overcome their just reward which for his name and promise sake is right and due unto them And next unto all those heathen Gentiles and people of all nations kindreds of the earth under what name and of what profession of religion soever they passe Jewes Catholiques Protestants or other whose hearts are hard unrepentant and unbeleeving who by their evill deeds have corrupted the earth their just reward also and recompence which to their workes and wayes is rightly due unto them For so much doe the words conclude in saying And to render reward unto thy servants the Prophets Saints and to them that feare thy Name little and great and to destroy them that have corrupted the earth And hereby it is also manifest that at the same very time when the last trumpet shall sound and the Lord shall come in his glory the dead both good and bad shall be raised and judged without any distance of yeares or dayes between the trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised as Paul saith And although the salvation of the just and sufferings of the ungodly shall continue for a thousand yea and ten thousand times ten thousand thousands of yeares even for everlasting as the Scriptures declare yet the judgment and sentence passing will require no longer time in the hands of the Lord then one day as the Scriptures alwayes expresse it And that we should know for certain that this day will come at the same time when Satan with his Armies of Gog and Magog shall be upon Christendome compassing the Camp of the Saints about and fire shall come downe from God out of heaven and devoure them The holy Ghost in Rev. 20.9 10 11 12 c. doth plainly declare it And to the end that we should take notice thereof hee saith chap. 21.6 It is done I am Alpha and Omega the beginning and the end c. And in chap. 16. upon the same comming down of the Kings of the earth and of the whole world unto the judgement of the great day it followeth vers 17. It is done And in Ezek. 39. upon the same destruction of Gog and Magog it followeth also verse 8. Behold it is come and it is done saith the Lord. This is the day whereof I have spoken Which day will be the last day of this world spoken of by Martha Luke 11.24 and whereof Christ saith But of that day and houre knoweth no man no not the Angelt of heaven but my Father only Matth. 24. For although the Lord hath revealed and men may know the yeare yet the day and hour can no man know And as in this last day this present world shall end so in it shal the world to come and the kingdome of Christ and his Saints begin as it is also declared Matth. 25.31 32 33 c. 2 Tim. 4.1 And then shall be the restitution of all things which God hath spoken by the mouth of his holy Prophets that have been since the world began as it is also written Acts 3.20.21 There shall bee new heavens and a new earth and Jerusalem shall be made a praise in the earth And great shall bee the difference between the estate of this world to come which shall be in subjection to Christ and wherein he shall reigne and righteousnesse shall dwell for ever world without end and the now present world wherein the heathen and Pagan Monarchs and Antichrists reigne and iniquity beareth rule and dwelleth And for any to teach or perswade the Christian State now present as some in their Sermons and Printed bookes have done and doe that the Kingdome of Christ and his Saints whereof the Prophets have spoken shall be in this present world for a thousand yeares before the last day is to teach and perswade to a Doctrine against Christ and not for him whose Kingdome is not of this world which is not nor will be being corrupt subject unto him Antichrist and his Clergie of false prophets that have taken upon them as much as ever did any the name of the onely true Church of Christ in the world have been as a great Monarch in this present world for a thousand yeares past already and let them take it for their portion of happinesse But let no true Christian Ministers state or people bee of such a mind to teach such doctrine or looke for such a thing here againe But rather flie the glory and shadow of this world and look for the eternall Kingdome in the world to come ready to bee revealed when Christ shall come at the last day which I verily beleeve upon the grounds before mentioned many thousands now living shall live to see And so I rest their Christian friend wishing them all true happinesse grace and truth and peace in Christ Amen Now having here a little space let mee put a question or two more to the Millenaries As first if when God shall have created new Heavens and a new Earth Jerusalem a rejoycing and her people a joy there shall be no more thence an infant of dayes nor an old man that hath not filled his dayes as the Prophet Esay saith Esa 65.20 Then I ask how there can thence an infant or child of dayes or an old man die as they will have it in their Millenary estate Again if the resurrection of the ungodly shall not bee till the thousand years kingdome of Christ which the Millenaries make to be the day of judgement shall be expired as they teach Then I ask what time they will have for that great multitude of ungodly not risen from the dead to be judged and who they mean Christ shall be all that time of a thousand yeares a judging Or how hee can judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and kingdome as Paul saith if the dead be not all raised at his appearing and kingdome and brought before him to be judged or why he should need a thousand yeares or dayes time of pawsing in judgement or more then one true naturall day though there shall be a thousand and ten thousand times ten thousand yeares of execution and suffering yea yeares and dayes and nights everlastingly as it is written Matth. 25. and sundry other places FINIS
