Ierusalem Esai 2. And I will assemble her that halts and will gather her that I have driven out and her that I have afflicted and will make of the one a remnant and of the other a strong nation and the Lord shall reigne over them in mount Zion from thenceforth even for ever And nation shall not life up a sword against nation neither shall they learn war any more For all people will walk in the name of their God and we will walk in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever For a small moment I have forsaken thee and hid my face from thee but with great mercies and everlasting kindnesses will I gather thee For thy maker is thy husband the Lord of hoasts is his name and thy Redeemer the holy one of Israel the God of the whole earth shal he be called Behold they shall surely gather together but not by me Whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake For all thy children shal be taught of the Lord and great shal be the peace of them In righteousnes shall they be established They shal be far from oppression feare or terrour No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper and every tongue that shall rise up in judgement against thee thou shalt condemne This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their righteousnes is of me saith the Lord. This is Israel my servant Jacob whom I have chosen and the seed of Abraham my freind These and many more like precious promises we meet with in the Scripturs concerning a most prosperous and glorious state that shall visibly come upon Gods people even in this world according to the assurance thereof given unto Abraham that he in his seed should be heir of the world All these promises are reducible only to the state of those times that shall certainly be brought upon the stage of this world when the Kingdom and second appearance of the great God and our saviour Jesus Christ shall shine forth in its brightnes upon earth This is that which is not only promised so very often and testified by all the Prophets but was much spoken of and beleeved amongst the Jews before Christs comming in the flesh It was universally receaved also in the first age after Christ and all were accounted hereticks and deniers of the resurrection that did not acknowledg it And in that great Council of Nice called by Constantine the great it was asserted in an article of their Ecclesiasticall doctrine to this effect That by foreknowledg God did not make the world in that height of perfection at first which he intended to bring it unto in the end because he foresaw man would sin Therefore say they we expect new heavens and a new earth according to the scriptures And then as Daniel sayes the saincts of the most high shall take the Kingdom and there shal be a pure and holy world a Land of the living and not of the dead This David by the eye of faith foresaw when he sayd I shall se the goodnes of the Lord in the land of the living the land of the humble and meeke Blessed are the meeke for they shall inherit the earth and be clothed beautified and adorned with salvation So Esay 26. The foot shall tread downe the lofty city even the feet of the poor and the steps of the needy This great truth was thus witnessed unto then and afterwards also till the adversaries knew no other way to avoyd it but by denying the book of the Revelation to be scripture In the beginning also of the reformation in England in a catechisme set forth in Edward the sixths time and by him authorized the last year of his reigne that part of the Lords prayer Thy Kingdom come is thus commented upon Hitherto we se not all things put under the feet of Christ we do not yet se that stone cut out of the mountaine without any work or endeavours of man that is to breake and dissipate into nothing the great image described by Daniel that the little stone which is Christ may possesse and obtein the empire of the whole world according to the graunt of the father Antichrist is not yet destroyed whence it is that we are to desire and pray that in Gods due time it may be done and that Christ alone way reigne with his Saints according to his divine promises that he may live and reigne on the earth according to the laws of the holy Scriptures and not according to the traditions and lawes of men and the tyrannicall will of this world So have we it in that Catechisme Another passage there is relating to this subject in the same book upon the article of the last judgment distinguishing between the end of the world and the last generall judgment saying that the holy Scriptures call the end of the world the time of consummation the full filling of the Kingdom and mysteries of Christ in the restitutiō of all things It seemes bu agreable to reasō that the dayes should come wherein the corruption chang and sin to which the whole world hath bin heitherto subjected should cease This shall be done by fire as gold is refined by which it shal be brought to its last and highest perfection And this man the lesser world shall much more experience in being freed from the bondage of corruption and brought into the glorious liberty of the Sons of God For mans sake therefore the visible frame of heaven and earth shal be renewed with a much more pleasant and beautifull face or for me then it had before But secondly as to the last and generall judgment the answer is Christ shall come at whose voice the dead shall arise and be made perfect in soule and body And he shall sit on the throne of his majesty seen by the whole world and pronounce the finall sentence upon the testimony of every ones conscience out of his owne mouth Then the Sons of God shall compleatly possesse that Kingdom of immortality and eternall life which was prepared for them before the foundation of the world and shall reigne with Christ unto all eternity But the wicked which do not beleeve shal be cast into eternall fire appointed for the devil and his angels This distinction between the dayes of the end of the world and the work proper to them called the last dayes and the great day of eternity or the last judgment is well explained and cleered by Mr. Mede who gives the account before mentioned in these things In a word he declares his judgment to be that the seventh trumpet or thousand years reigne of Christ on earth conteined therein is that great day of the Lord the day of his Judgment so much celebrated among the Jews in their writings and from them taken up by our Saviour and his Apostles not a day of a few houres as some suppose but a continued interval of many years wherein Christ
