carried above them there came a Voice out of the cloud Hear him After they had thus seen they were commanded to hear and we may well conceive that thus it will be in the New Jerusalem state some will be as Moses and Elias in the presence of Christ and like him in glory so the Saints in the New Ierusalem others will be as Peter Iames and Iohn who may sometimes see Christ and yet be under a command of hearing so the People of the Land Secondly Paul had a sight of Christ after he was received up into glory 1 Cor. 15.8 Last of all he was seen of me also And this sight of Christ was with his bodily eyes even as the other Apostles and five hundred Brethren had seen him But notwithstanding this sight Paul remained under Ordinances Consid 2. The Members of Churches shall have true holiness and righteousness Isa 60.21 Thy people shall be all righteous Chap. 43.7 The place of my throne shall the children of Israel no more defile No carcase shall be here none dead in sins shall be admitted into this spiritual house Eliashib was guilty of this evil thing in relation to the material Temple He prepared a chamber in the courts of the house of God for Tobiah which grieved Nehemiah and therefore he cast the housholdstuff of Tobiah out of the chamber Nehem. 13.7 8. But no Tobiah shall have a chamber prepared in the Courts of this House of God neither shall any of Antichrists Housholdstuff be found in this House to defile it Chap. 44.9 No stranger uncircumcised in heart or flesh shall enter into my Sanctuary All shall put off the body of the sins of the flesh and be circumcised to the Lord both in heart and flesh inwardly and outwardly they shall be holy in heart and life and in all manner of conversation There shall not be any who under a form shall deny the power of Godliness In the later perillous times it is so but in the last pure and peaceable times it shall not be so Rev. 22.3 His servants shall serve him him and not their Enemies him onely and him throughly All shall be an oblation to God and shall present their bodies a living sacrifice Chap. 45.15 16. One lamb out of the flock out of the fat pastures of Israel for a meat-offering Ordinances and means of Grace shall then be fat Pastures for the Saints to feed in The Church hath been in the Wilderness and nourished there Rev. 12.14 but at last it shall be brought out of the Wilderness into the fat Pastures of Israel and the Saints feeding in them shall be fat and flourishing whereby he that is feeble shall be as David and he that is as David shall be as the Angel of the Lord. And mark what follows All the people of the Land shall give this Oblation for the Prince or be this Oblation to the Prince in Israel And how shall this be Ve●se 1● It shall be the Princes part to give Burnt-offerings and Meat-offerings making good that Promise I will cause you to walk in my Statutes Now to set forth this more fully consider 1. All the Sacrifices shall be holy and without blemish Chap. 46.4 Lambs without blemish The Saints of that time shall be Lambs in innocency and Lambs without blemish Now there being much spoken in this Prophecy about Sacrifices and Offerings I shall take this occasion to unfold somewhat of the Mystery of them And in the first place shall take notice that mention is made of the Princes Offerings and of the Peoples Offerings The Prince is Christ and of his Offerings we read chap. 45.22 On the day of the Passeover shall the Prince prepare for himself and the People of the Land a Bullock for a Sin-offering and seven Bullocks and seven Rams for a Meat-offering the Sin-offering for the People of the Land the Meat-offering for himself and the People of the Land The Peoples Offerings are mentioned chap. 46.24 These are the places of them that boil where the Ministers of the House shall boil the Sacrifices of the People ●n the next place we may observe the several kinds of Sacrifices mentioned in this Prophecy being four the Sin-offering the Burnt-offering the Meat-offering and Peace-offering 1. The Sin-offering and this is Christ who ma●● his Soul an Offering for Sin Q. How shall Christ be offered when this Temple shall be built A. 1. There shall be a full discovery of the Mystery of Christ crucified of his being made Sin and fulfilling righteousness We may observe that where Christ crucified was preached and his death was shewn forth in the Lords Supper there he is said to be crucified Gal. 3.1 Before whose eyes Christ hath been evidently set forth crucified among you So that he was crucified at Galatia that is evidently set forth as crucified In like manner when this Temple shall be built Christ shall be slain that is evidently set forth as slain The price of his Bloud and his great love in laying down his Life will be fully manifested and the Doctrine of Justification by Free Grace through the Redemption that is in Jesus Christ will be fully cleared up and all Errors about it will vanish Christ was crucified at Ierusalem without the Gate and at Galatia now at the time here meant Christ will be crucified not as at Ierusalem but as at Galatia in being evidently set forth as crucified 2. Christ crucified shall be applied by Faith The Jews shall not establish their own righteousness then but shall submit to the righteousness of God and the Benefits of Christ crucified shall flow in abundantly upon them as in reconciling them to God so in purging them from dead works to serve the living God Chap. 45.20 The bloud must be upon the posts of the house the settle of the altar and on the posts of the gates so shall ye reconcile the house And this is to be done for every one that erreth and is simple The least sin can't be done away but by the Bloud of Christ and then all from the least to the greatest shall be done away Concerning this Sin-offering one thing more is to be observed against Popish Altars and the Mass Chap. 40.39 There are Tables to slay the Sin-offering upon we do not read of Tables for this use under the Law but onely of an Altar Christ will not be sacrificed and offered on an Altar as the Papists dream they do supposing the consecrated Bread and Wine to be the very Body and Bloud of Christ which their Priests pretend to offer up upon an Altar as an Expiatory Sacrifice But Christ shall be onely slain upon Tables that is evidently set forth as slain both in the Word preached and in the Lords Supper which as hath been before shewn will be then administred among the People of the Land and the whole Mystery of Christ crucified will be made so plain upon these Tables that he may run that shall read it 2. Burnt-offerings
shall at last be a close Prisoner himself And for what end must he be thus shut up That he should deceive the Nations no more till the thousand years be finished In this time he shall not be suffered so much as to enter into an Herd of Swine Now these things being well considered we may conclude that these thousand years are not past already they did not begin at Constantines time For when did Satan deceive the Nations more than within that thousand years by bringing forth Mahomet the false Prophet in the East and by the revelation of the Man of Sin in the West Surely these so many expressions signifie little or nothing if the thousand years be past already Thirdly Take notice of the time how long he shall be bound one thousand years The time of the Beast's reign and of the Witnesses prophesying in Sack-cloth is given out by Days and 't is concluded that a Day is put for a Year according to Ezek. 4.6 I have given thee a Day for a Year but the time of Satans being bound and of the Saints reign is set forth by years And we may conceive this reason why the time of Saints sufferings is given forth in a mystery God had in this respect to his Servants weakness If it had been given forth plainly it might have been some matter of discouragment to the Saints to think that the Beast should reign so long in the World The time of Satans being bound and the Saints reign is plainly declared to be for a thousand years that the People of God might have the more joy in the expectation of it God would not that his People's Sorrow should be a full Sorrow but would have their Joy to be a full Joy Fourthly observe what follows the thousand years of Satans being bound v. 3. He must be loosed a little season v. 8. He shall deceive the Nations Gog and Magog who being gathered shall be destroyed by Fire from Heaven and all must be done in a little season Now if the thousand years be past when was the Prophecy of Gog and Magog fulfilled Besides when Gog and Magog shall be destroyed then next the last Judgment of the wicked follows Rev. 20.12 Thus much of Satans being bound 2. Christ's Kingdom is here foretold they reigned with Christ So Christ reigns he will at this time take to himself his great power and reign and at the sounding of the seventh Trumpet the Kingdoms of the world shall become his Kingdoms and his reign will be personal and thence the Name of the City shall be The Lord is there 3. The dead Saints shall be raised to reign with Christ v. 3. They lived and reigned with Christ That is by a resurrection as after follows and this is called the first Resurrection Now the great question is what Resurrection is here meant For the clearing of which consider that 't is not a spiritual Resurrection which is here meant For First this is a Resurrection of Saints who before had past through a Spiritual Resurrection For who are they that shall live and reign or be raised and reign Those that were beheaded for the Testimony of Jesus and word of God and would not worship the Beast c. These live and reign and of these is the first Resurrection Now are not these to be judged Saints have not they part in a Spiritual Resurrection before they thus stand it out against the Beast and before they have part in the first Resurrection Shall we so much offend against the generation of these just ones as to account them to be a company of persons dead in Sins when they bear such a Testimony for Christ against Antichrist and seal it with their Blood it's therefore most evident that this first Resurrection is of dead Saints and not of Sinners dead in Sins And in this sense we may take those words Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first Resurrection 'T is a Resurrection of holy ones 2. Those that were dead before they had part in the first Resurrection and the rest of the dead who have no part in it after mentioned are to be conceived to be under the same kind of Death So that if those that have part in the first Resurrection were such who were spiritually dead then the rest of the dead must be such And if those that live again live by a bodily resurrection then those that do not live again are such who remain under the power of a bodily death And if such as live again shall be such as shal● be raised from a civil death as the witnesses will be then those that do not live again will be such who shall remain under a civil death so that the first and second resurrection must be of the same kind Hence then it will follow First If those that live and reign be such as live spirituall then those that do not live again must be such who remain spiritually dead and s● then it follows that in the time of the thousand years there will be no Conversion For the rest of the dead lived not again till c. Secondly If the living again be meant only of a Civil Resurrection of Saints from a persecuted condition into a quiet and ruling state Then the rest of the dead that live not again must be other Saints in a low and afflicted state So some Saints shall live and reign for a thousand years and others shall be afflicted and persecuted all that time which is directly contrary to Scripture for the greatness of the Kingdom under the whole Heaven shall be given to the Saints What remaines then but that we conclude this first Resurrection to be of dead Saints from a bodily death at the begining of the thousand years and the living again of the rest of the dead to be meant of the resurrection of the Wicked after the finishing of them 4. All the dead Saints shall be partakers of this first resurrection and not onely the Martyrs who suffered a bodily death For Abraham Isaac and Jacob who died a natural death and did not suffer Martyrdom shall be raised and be in that Kingdom of God Matth. 8.11 Luke 13.28 Again Rev. 11.18 The time of the dead is come that they should be judged and that thou shouldest give reward to thy Servants the Prophets and to all that fear thy Name So this First Resurrection must be of all Saints even as many as fear the Name of God And this shall be when the Seventh Angel sounds his Trumpet and the Kingdoms of the World shall become the Kingdoms of Christ Therefore when 't is said the beheaded Saints shall live and reign all are hereby meant that have been liable to persecution and trouble for all the Saints from the beginning have suffered one way or other None have been free from Satan's temptations and few from Persecution in one kind or other Those that have not been persecuted as Abel to death
