〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 OR THE VVORD VVRITTEN Concerning the VVORD EVERLIVING VIZ. As touching his glorious Kingly Office on Earth to come Witnessing That Christ Jesus shall have a visible glorious Kingdome in the World consisting of the converted Jews and Gentiles in one Sheep-fold under him of the quick in this life and raised Saints in the time of his said glorious Kingdome and of the highest Angels worshipping him and of inferiour creatures bowing the knee unto him Confirmed by many Demonstrative Arguments from the holy Scriptures and many divine Reasons strongly evincing the same Truths By William Sherwin Minister of the Gospel Apoc. 3.21 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Esa 24.33 Then the Moon shall be confounded and the Sun ashamed when the Lord of Hosts shall raign in Mount Sion and in Jerusalem and before his ancients gloriously Psal 97.7 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 So Heb. 1.6 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Rom. 8.21 Because the creature it self also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God LONDON Printed for Francis Smith and are to be sold at the Elephant and Castle without Temple-Bar TO THE READER CHristian Sufferers either in * Affectu vel effectu will or deed to whom alone the happy interest in these things doth belong with all the ensuing happiness and glory through and with Christ Jesus the mystical head of his glorified Spouse the Church to all eternity for it is Generale Dei Statutum whatever otherwise nominal only and formal Christians may promise to themselves what the Apostle Paul declares 2 Tim. 3.12 that all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution and when he for a pattern was stoned almost to death Acts 14.19 he confirms the Disciples souls in this doctrine that saith he we must through much tribulation enter into the Kingdom of God yet here the Apostle Peter's Caution must be carefully observed 1 Pet. 4.19 that it must be according to the will of God or as he speaketh Verse 16. as Christians both for the cause and manner which is the condition upon which our Saviour entertains all his Disciples Mat. 10.38 for saith he he that takes not up his Cross and follows not me is not worthy of me and it is both a special gift and a special honour so to do Phil. 1.29 To you it is given in the behalf of Christ not only to believe on him but also to suffer for his sake But this will be but during the time the Bridegroom is absent in person Mat. 9.15 Mar. 2.19 and untill the New Jerusalem comes down from God out of Heaven and the Tabernacle of God be with men and he dwell with them Rev. 21.2 3. But for the comfort of all such the Apostle Paul as plainly instructs them 2 Tim. 2.12 If we die saith he with Christ we shall also live with him if we suffer with him we shall also reign with him And although the meek are here at present but strangers and pilgrims on the earth yet that time is hastening apace wherein that gracious promise shall be made good Psal 37.11 that the meek shall inherit the earth and delight themselves in the abundance of peace which our Saviour also confirms declaring their blessedness in that respect saying Mat. 5.5 Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth and his care hath remarkably appeared in regard his Church was to pass through many sharp pangs and sufferings from his ascension in the primitive persecutions and all along her wilderness condition during until Antichrists tyranny even to his appearance to destroy that man of sin 2 Thes 2.8 before the Saints rest in this world will come Chap. 1.7 Heb. 4.9 or the times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord as the Apostle Peter explains them Acts 3.19 Therefore to comfort them aforehand he hath through the whole Revelation provided words of consolation to each in the order of their sufferings drawn from the New Jerusalem state in one respect or other as from our seventh Argument in this Parcel may appear of all which encouragements his said meek sufferers shall certainly find in their due times the full accomplishment for whose further satisfactions therein according to what the Spirit of God hath set down though mystically yet surely I have endeavoured to wait upon the Dispencer of all grace in all such wayes of his own as he hath been pleased to lead me to such purpose for divers years past which I believe in much mercy he hath manifested unto me however some mens apprehensions thereof may differ yet in my own soul and spirit I am sufficiently therein satisfied and I hope also by his grace I may at least if not before published yet leave such things behind me which in due time may also I hope satisfie others when such errours pervertings and prejudices are removed as I have already endeavoured to do in my second and fourth part of those principles and foundations which I formerly laid down about 1664 unto which I have since added divers small Tracts as examples and patterns to manifest the usefulness of the former for the advantage of all such as would seriously consider them as that on Gen. 3.15 shewing in what wayes and order accordingly the seed of the woman Christ Jesus hath and doth and will hereafter more eminently and at last totally and finally when the last enemy death shall be destroyed break the Serpents Satans head Another on Jer. 3.17 being a Scriptural Evidence for the New Jerusalem state to come on earth with a brief summary of Daniel's prophetical Visions annexed to it the intendments of all which have been divers years obstructed and retarded hitherto as also of another to like purpose on Rev. 22.20 Behold I come quickly c. and as the Epistle to that on Jer. 3.17 doth point out the nature and use of the said four parts which contain the proofs that such things shall be so by these hints in reference to those said latter Tracts the better use and improvement may be made of them altogether especially since each of them refer to the other And now I hope at last if this short summary of much of these divine truths of this nature therein couched shall come to the hands of serious and judicious Christians that unjust prejudices being laid aside it may carry a strong conviction with it and consisting of evident Scripture foundations may also in Gods time make way for faith when he sets them home on the soul to believe the substance of these things upon the same ground or at least of many of them for as at divers times and in divers manners God hath been pleased to reveal his grace and truth to his Prophets and Apostles and other his messingers formerly so as the Apostle Peter shews he hath a time to come further to reveal it 1 Pet. 1.12 13. as judicious Galvm observes from the 7th verse when

the evil at svch time he will destroy all such as did before by their wickedness destroy the earth in both which respects as the Apostle Paul teacheth he will then so judge both the quick and the dead at his appearance and his Kingdome 2 Tim. 4.1 And for both those parts of judgement towards good and bad it was said when Antichrist was to be destroyed Dan. 7.9 10 c. that the Judgement was set and the Books were opened as it will be above 1000 years after when all the wicked shall be raised at the last resurrection Rev. 10.11 12. When also Christ will again judge both quick and dead when all the Saints that are then alive and remain as the Apostle Paul reckons himself and the Saints in his time then will be 1 Thes 4. and he twice affirms it saying We which are alive and remain vers 15. and vers 17. shall be caught up together with such of the Saints as at that time shall rise first also that is before the wicked after to be raised when all those sorts of the Saints the living then in the bodily life and raised Saints above a thousand years before which then with the Apostle remain in the world shall altogether be caught up in the clouds to meet Christ in the air whereas those that had their part in the first resurrection having their part therein 1000 years before were said then to be brought from heaven with him when that New Jerusalem came down from God out of heaven at Christs second coming but then they shall ever be with the Lord whereas he seemed to withdraw himself from the former before the last rapture which will be in a moment with a glorious change which mysteries the Apostle unfolds 1 Cor. 15. which he twice confirms also 51.15 Also the whole 97. Psalm which beginneth The Lord reigneth let the people rejoyce let the multitude of the Isles be glad thereof containing also a Prophesie of his terrible coming to destroy his idolatrous enemies and to deliver the Jews and all his oppressed people which will cause such exultation and Halelujahs in the world and is also in the New Testament applyed by the Spirit of God to his said second coming Heb. 1.6 when he shall bring again his first begotten into the world as the Greek Text declares when all the Angels of God shall worship him so expounded by Chrysostome Ribera and others of his second coming and which also the Apostle himself clearly explaineth Chap. 2 5. calling it 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the world to come whereof he spake to this agrees Rev. 19.1 2 c. when the Whore of Babylon was destroyed and that Reign of Christ began and the marriage of the Lamb was come so many Halelujahs were sung First By much people vers 1 2 3. Secondly By the representative twenty four Elders and four Beasts or living wights verse 4. And thirdly By a voice out of the Throne the Church and of great multitudes saying Allelu●ah for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth c. that is in another manner than before viz. personally and at the same time he is praised for having taken to himself his great power and to have reigned Rev. 11.17 who in his personal absence till then had left his power in the hands of others which for the most part had much abused it and probably most provokingly towards that time c. Also concerning the terrible coming of the Lord as it is described by Zachary chap. 14. very lagely how he will fight against the Nations that then come against Jerusalem when his feet shall stand on Mount Olivet and he will so terribly shake the Earth as also in Isa 1.2 several times is set forth when he will Jehoshaphatize his Enemies as before in the 3d. of Joel and the word in the Original seems to denote and at which time Zacharie saith chap. 14.5 as the Apostle Paul said from him 1 Thes 3. and last The Lord thy God shall come 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 all the Saints with thee and as chap. 4.14 all that sleep in Jesus God will then bring with him which is that Jerusalem by a Metonimie of the subject that then comes down from God out of heaven Rev. 21. and the contexts of Zac. and Joel agree to the same time and the more to difference the said coming from that descending from heaven with a shout which the Apostle speaks of v. 16. which to creatures apprehension may then seem an other coming yet he saith not out of heaven as when the said Jerusalem descended but it will be after the thousand years when he seems to have withdrawn himself from the holy City and Camp of the Saints whilst Satan and his last Gog and Magog play their last most wicked pranks which will only amount to an attempt wherewith there will he their own and the worlds ruine brought on effectually when the great white throne will be set up for Christ before whose face heaven and earth shall flee away and no place be found for them as being resolved as is probable into their first Chaos c. from which ruine all the Saints as was said before by a suddain rapture and glorious change shall be perfectly freed glorified as we shewed and shall ever be with the Lord from thence forth till the consummation of that last Judgement that then shall all ascend with him their head into Heaven without preventing each other as the Apostle also teacheth when death will be swallowed up in victory 1 Cor. 15.54 There is mention of a Trumpet when the Angels shall gather the Elect from the four winds and two in a Bed and two in the Field and two Women in the Mill the one taken and the other shall be left at the coming of Christ in the Clouds as Mat. 24.30 31.40 41. but that last descending from Heaven will be at the last Trump in regard one of like nature was before Again his second coming in the Clouds will be for Salvation to all the ends of the Earth in the issue of it but this descending from heaven with a shout and the voice of an Arch-Angel and the Trump of God viz. the last Trump will bring utter and final desolation to all the ends of the Earth yea then Heaven and Earth shall flee away before his face and no place be found for them Rev. 20.11 These are according to our Saviours own best exposition in the Revelation which in these matters he hath caused to be set down with very great evidence often attesting them to be faithful and true c. foreseeing men would not believe them though very consonant to the Prophets and other portions of the holy Scriptures In respect of the large extent of Christs Kingdom when God hath shewed he would set Christ his King upon his holy hill of Sion notwithstanding all the rage and tumults of the Heathen Psal 2. he also delares he would give him the
