Re-Reformation I have Lastly published the Prophetical Song of Solomon from the Kingdom of David the Type to the Kingdom of the Great David the Antitipe Shewing its Stupendious Configurations with all Prophecy There now Remains to fill up the Line of Time from the Going out of Egypt to the Building the Temple and so to Solomon's Death and from thence to the Restoring that Temple by Cyrus and therein to Solve the Difficulties of the 480 Years in the History 1 Kings 6. 1. and the 450 Acts 13. 20. and to Clear that the 390 Days and 40 Days of Ezekiel's lying on his side continue the Line from Solomon's Death and the One Kingdom of Israel Becoming Two to the Restoration by Cyrus And upon all this I Find it necessary in an entire Discourse to clear by plain Positive Doctrinal Scripture in compare with Prophetical that There is such a Kingdom of Christ as of the 1090 Years New Heaven above and the New Earth below that Begins with a Judgment by the Vials and ends in the Casting the Last Enemies the Devil Hell and Death into the Lake and between Those is a Thousand Years Kingdom of Visible Glory of Christ and his Saints after the manner of his Transfiguration above and after the manner of Adam in Paradise below and Full of Holy Spirituality and Enjoyment of the Redemption of Christ Free from all Cerinthian or Millenarian Heresie and shining in that Divine Oeconomy or Preparational Glory until the Kingdom is deliver'd up to God and the Father All in All. And Lastly To shew that the Lords Prayer the Sacraments of Baptism and of the Lords Supper even as I have shown the Sabbaths of the Old and New Testament have their Continuance and their Great use as the only Ceremonials of the New Testament in Typing out that Great Kingdom Upon all this I Humbly Propose to every Reader that is Favourable hereunto and of Ability to Assist me by Contributions for Thirty Sheets more to compleat the Work at a Penny a sheet and a Seventh Book to Six Subscribers or as they please in further Assistances to be Given either to my self or to Mr. Salusbury at the Rising Sun in Cornhill And the Press shall be daily going on to Finish the Work And with Faith Hope and Prayer Let us if we Love the Kingdom and Appearance of Christ Humbly and Earnestly wait for the Great Revolution I Affirm of the Kingdom of Christ at 1697 to enter into its Succession and 75 Years after viz. 1772 to begin in the 1000 Years Appearance in Glory Month 11. Day 29. 1689 90. The Pattern of the Divine Temple Sanctuary and City of the New Jerusalem Measur'd according to Ezekiels Last and Greatest Vision c. 40. c. 41. c. to the End AT a day of a most Certain and exact Date when Jerusalem and its Temple lay in Ruins God shews in Vision to Ezekiel not a Model nor a Direction to any persons to Build according to it but a Building in Actual Being and therefore a Building made without Hands 2 Cor. 5. 1 Revel 21 10. Heb. 10. 11. 16. whose Builder and Maker God is Eternal in the Heavens from whence It is to come down in the New Heaven and the New Earth viz. a Temple a City that hath Foundations and a Countrey Lying about it the principal State of which is Heavenly but to shine down to the New Earth from the New Heaven Rev. 21. 24. The Preparation to the Vision 1. The Date is above the Exactness of any Record viz. By the Year of Captivity It is first dated and thereby it is Joyn'd with the Thirtieth Year in the Beginning of Ezekiel's c. 1. 1. Prophecy which being set alone without any other note of Time can in no fair Construction be any other Thirtieth Year but from the Last Jubilee according to General Jewish Style of Time and that being the Fifth year of Jehoiachins Captivity and the present year of the Vision being the Twenty Fifth year of that Captivity It shews it to be the Fiftieth c. 40. 1. year and so the year of Jubilee Fitly to Represent the Great Jubilee of the World that shall be in this Vision Accomplish'd It was on the Tenth day of the Month Answering the day of the first Institution of the Passeover when also will be the Exod. 12. 1. Dan. 12. 1. Matt. 24. 21. Rev. 3. 10. Greatest Passeover of Deliverance from the Great Trouble Tribulation and Temptation which shall come on all the Reprobate Earth but the Saints shall be privilegd'd from it It was in the Beginning of the Year or Spring on which the Greatest Acts of God are Recorded and which God E●od 12. 1. made the Head of the Sacred Year It was in the Fourteenth year after the City was 〈…〉 To shew it was in the deep Desolation of the Temple and City of Jerusalem and Land of Israel as the Season of Mercy For when his Servants are the lowest Then in the Mount the Lord will be seen Gen. 22. 14. with Ez. 40. 2. Lastly It was the Self Same Day and thereby the Time is Gen. 2. 1. c. 7. 11. 13. 2 Pet. 3. 7. 8. Knit to the self same day of the Creation and First Sabboth To the self same day of the Flood when the World that then was Perish'd by Water Answerably the Heavens and Earth that now are are Treasur'd up for Fire Even for the day when this very Vision shall come into high effect All Great Epochs 2. The Theatre of the Vision is the City Jerusalem that then lay in Ruin and the Land of Israel under Desolation whether the Prophet Ezekiel was carried by a Divine Ha●d in the Visions of God Agreeable to so Great Visions of God as will be when this Jerusalem comes down from Heaven 3. This wonderful Measurer whose Appearance was as Brass as the Feet of Jesus Christ are Represented in the Prophecy of Daniel and in the Revelation This Measurer is parallel to the wonderful Numberer call'd Palmoni in the Margin of the Bible Dan. 8. 13. Knitting both Visions 4. There is a Charge upon Ezekiel obliging all his Powers of Attention and Observation Son of Man see with thy Eyes Hear with thy Ears and set thy Heart upon All that I shew thee c. 40. v. 4. which Charge is renewed c. 44. 5. shewing how weighty and how sublime a State this Temple-Communion with God shall be 5. There is a Charge upon Ezekiel to shew to the House of Israel All that He saw c. 40. v. 40. and then c. 43. 10. to shew them the House that They may be Asham'd of their Iniquities and let Them saith the Lord Measure the Pattern And if They are Asham'd shew them All the Forms Laws and Ordinances c. of the House Now this I look upon as chiefly Prophetical of the Time when the Temple shall be Open'd in Heaven And it shall Tend to the Great Purification of the Churches of
Receiving their Service Praises and Obebience His name shall be in their Foreheads and his Servants shall serve Him without any Violation or defilement shall this Temple be All hitherto hath been too Low too Dark too much polluted even when Purest since the Annointing the Christian Church in the days of the Apostles and will be till this Temple not far hence shall be seen in Heaven Then it will be daily Cleansing A Worldly Sanctuary hath been the Great opposite to this especially when not appointed by God Paganism and Antichristianism are the Abomination of Desolation to it The remains of the Synagogue of Sathan ever since the Reformation still keep it out of sight The most refined Churches are both too narrow and too obscure yet The many Contents and Paper Combates about Hierarchy Liturgies Ceremonies viz. what should be abated or alter'd are even Ridiculous Things before it But all such will Vanish like Smoak before that presence of God that will within short Time fill all Temple-State with another Smoak Even with the Glory of his presence ready to enter and with the Vengeance of his Temple upon all that have defiled it And then the Man whose Name is the Branch shall Build the Temple of the Lord and Bear forth the Glory of it Let us therefore be Ashamed of whatever Temple State seems now most desirable and Earnestly set our Hearts Prayers and Expectations to what is so much above it even to that which the Lord wil pitch and not Man and that God would cause his Face to shine on his Sanctuary which is yet Desolate for his own Name sake Correspond 2. As the Beauty and Grandieur of any Building and also its Security and Stability consists in the Justice Equality and Symmetry of all its Parts So to set out in this Frame a Divine both Stateliness Glory and that Firmness of a Kingdom that cannot be Shaken there is a Construction of all those Admirable Measures we find in this Vision And though They can no more be Found out to Perfection then the Almighty in his Works Job 11. 7. then the Laws and Measures of Creation in the Hanging the Earth by Poize upon Nothing then the Bounds of the House Job 26. 28. 37. 38. c. Psal 147. 4. of Light the Weights for the Winds the Ballance of the Clouds without which they Rage into Storms and Tempests as we see then the Measure of the Dust of the Earth the Decree of the Rain Thunder Sea and Waters then the Number and Names of the Stars the Conduct of Arcturus and Orion The Infinite Vnderstanding can alone do the One and the Other Yet still They are all Admirable and when the Reason of them is expos'd in Glory to Angels and Saints in this Temple-State of the New Jerusalem in the Stupendious Holiness Purity of Spiritual Worship and Enjoyment of God Then the Morning Stars shall Sing together and the Sons of God shall shout for Joy Job 38. 7. And as Number Weight and Measure are so Essentially necessary to All the Great Things that are perform'd in the World as to Astronomy Observation of the Heavens and their Course Geometry Architecture Statics Navigation Survey Experimental Philosophy and to all Commerce and Traffick and even mutual Cohabitation of Mankind So under these Measures in this Vision are shaded the Sublimity of the Divine Communion with his Saints and Servants and of Angels and Saints one with Another and those Lines of Communication signified by Jacobs Ladder Gen. 28. 12. between the New Heaven and the New Earth and all that Abundance of Peace Joy Riches Even Happiness Blessedness in the most Just Order and Equality to Full Satisfaction and Enjoyment and yet so that there are Arch-Angels Eph. 1. last Col. 1. 16. 1 Cor. 15. 41. Rev. 22. 3. and Angels Thrones Principalities and Powers and one Star Excelling Another in Glory and the Lord God and the Lamb on the Throne And as All the Wisdom of Creation in Number Weight and Measure are Transfer'd into the Fear of God and Departure from Evil into the Righteous and wise Government of the World Jobs Description of and search after Wisdom c. 28. Issues at the last into that Divine Decree upon Man The Fear of the Lord That is Wisdom and to Depart from Evil That is Vnderstanding And as Solomons Practical Wisdom Justice Judgment and every Good Path is the same by which Kings Prov. 8. 5. c. 3. 19. with c. 8. 23. Reign and Princes Decree Justice By which Judges Rule and all the Nobles of the Earth are led the same also by which the Lord Founded the Heavens and Established the Earth Flowing from even the Eternal Wisdom Jesus Christ who sets up this Infinite Frame And as this Wisdom since the Fall of Man is as it were new Founded a New Creation in that Height Depth Breadth Length of the Love of God in Jesus Christ which passeth Knowledge and being Filled or Compleated into all the Fulness of God according to the Fullest Dimensions created Nature is capable of which Dimensions every Saint is to comprehend or Take with all Ephes 3. 18.

Correspond 3. A Third Correspondency between the Types of this Vision and the New Jerusalem State is That all the Types of this Vision and the New Jerusalem State That all the Types Laws and Ordinances of the Mosaic Law Tabernacle Temple and Priesthood and also of the Land of Canan call'd the Holy Land and all the Predictions Figures and Promises in all the Prophets since the World Began are herein to have their Complement and Perfection For seeing the Truth of God Requires that every such Foretelling Type as well as Express Oracle or Pronunciation should be justly Fulfill'd when once Given and that this New Jerusalem-State is the last IT IS DONE of all These It is most Just and Agreeable that this Vision which is an Old Testament Representation of that New Jerusalem-State should be Cloath'd and Attyr'd in so many of the Types Laws Measures of the Levitical Temple and
