A SUMMARY Of Arguments for the 1000 Y. Kingdom : By T.B.

Argument I. IF the New Heaven and the New Earth be a Palace for Christ , the King of Glory , and for his Saints in Glory with Him ; Beginning with the Thousand Years , and Flying away within a Little space , after They are Ended ; when the Kingdom is Delivered up , and the New Jerusalem Re-ascends to God ; Then there must be such a Thousand Years Kingdom ; But so It is , by plain Doctrinal , and by the Prophetical Scriptures of the Revlation compared : Therefore There must be such a Kingdom .

Arg 2. If All Saints be Saints Dead in Christ Rising first , or of the First Resurrection ; Or Saints , Styled The Lrving , The Remaining , not Dying , but Chang'd in the very Moment of that First Resurrection ; so putting off this Low State of Body , but not immediately Caught up to Christ ; nor Immediately putting on the Incorruption and Immortality of the First Resurrection , but Secured for it by this Change ; as being Partakers of the First Resurrection ; over Whom the Second Death shall have no power . And if there be a Thousand Years between this Change at the Time of the Saints Rising first , before the Time of these Living , these Remaining Saints being Caught up ; All which Time the Saints of both Kinds Reign with Christ ; Then there Must be such a Thousand Years Kingdom of Christ . But so all this is by plain Doctrinal , and by the Prophetical Scripture of the Resurrection Compar'd ; Therefore there must be such a Kingdom .

Argum . 3. If Christ , and the Saints of the First Resurrection are in the Palace of the New Heaven above , as on Thrones , and their Glory shining down on the New Earth below ; and the Saints , the Living , the Remaining Chang'd , are in the Paradise of the New Earth below , and walk in the Light of the New Jerusalem Above ; and so Each in this Thousand Years , Reign with Christ ; and at the End the Saints below , are Caught up Alike with the Saints Above , Then there must be a Thousand Years Kingdom of Christ : But so it is by the Compare of plain Doctrinal and of Prophetical Scripture in the Revelation ; Therefore such a Kingd . must be .

Arg. 4. If Satan the Old Serpent Bound , must Lie a 1000 Years , having his Head Broken by the Second Adam , the Seed of the Woman , and Bruised under the Feet of Saints shortly ; and then be Loosed for a Little space before he be Cast into the Lake , which can never yet have been : Then there must be a Kingdom of a Thousand Years to Christ and his Saints . But so by plain Doctrinal Scripture and the Prophetical Scripture . of the Revelation , it must be ; Therefore there must be such a Kingdom of a Thousand Years .

Argum . 5. If the Dead Wicked Raised , as at the same Time with the Saints of the First Resurrection , and with the Saints chang'd ; and yet being Raised to Condemnation , are neither counted Principals nor Par 〈…〉 of the First Resurrection , but the Dead still ; who with Death it self 〈…〉 be the Footstool of Christ's Feet , Sitting on an Exalted Throne Above 〈…〉 , and as Ashes under the Soals of the Saints Feet for a Thousand Years , before They are Finally after the 1000 Y. Destroyed , and Cast into the Lake ; Then there must be such a Thousand Years Kingdom of Christ : But so It must be by plain Doctrinal Scripture , and by the Prophetical Scripture of the Revelation Compard . Therefore such a Kingdom must be .

Argum 6. If the Gog-Magog in the Revelation , of which Ezekiel's Prophecy is a Great Type , c 38 c . 39. that stirs not for the Thousand Years of Satan Bound under the Reign of Christ with his Saints , against the Beloved City and Camp of the Saints ; but at the End of the Thousand Years , makes a short Assault , is no other than the Wicked Dead Rais'd , and Lying at the Fotstool of Christ on his Throne for a Thousand Years , then Judg'd and Cast into the Lake with Death and Hell ; Then there must be such a Thousand Years Kingdom of Christ : But so it must needs be by plain Doctrinal and the Prophetical Scripture of the Revelation Compar'd . Therefore such a Kingdom must be .

And thus according to both plain and Doctrinal , and Prophetical Scripture ; The last Enemy Death shall be subdued , with Satan its Prince , and all its Dead ; and in the New Heaven and Earth flying away , the Kingdom is Delivered up , and God All in All.

By way of Addition upon All This .

Inferential Argum . If at the Reformation , beginning by Luther , A. D. 1517. The Last 180 of the 1260 Years , Assigned to the Tyranny of Antichrist , and to the Witnesses in Sackcloth , Began , and so at the Ending of those 180. A.D. 1697. Daniel's Fourth Monarchy is at an End , and the Kingdom of the Stone and of the Son of Man , Filling the whole Earth shall Begin ; and the Kingdoms of this World shall be Proclaimed to be the Kingdoms of the Lord , and of his Christ , in order to a 75 Y. Preparation to the Glorious Kingdom of the Thousand Years . Then the Time is so near that it ought to call us off from this World to a Faith in , Earnest-Prayer for , and Preparation for this Kingdom : But this hath been Argued on Great Scripture Grounds ; Therefore so we ought to be Affected , Loving this Kingdom , and Appearance of the Lord Jesus Coming Quickly . AMEN .
