Jeremiah 23. Behold the days come, saith the Lord of hosts. And I will raise up a branch to my servant David, and this is his name whereby they shall call him. The Lord of hosts our righteousness. The prophecy is fulfilled. Luke 1. verses 31.22.33.35. Daniel in the 9. Chapter foretold that the holiness of holinesses must be anointed, whereby in very deed he showeth plainly and clearly, that his conception must be holy, and must be the second Temple yet standing. What, that the Prophet Isaiah, and Haggeus foreshowed that it should come to pass, that the glory of the second Temple should be much greater then the glory of the first, it should be everlasting: was it not truly fulfilled in this most pure conception of the Son of God,1 in which by the power of the holy Ghost, that same everlasting word hath personally united the human nature, and hath begun to dwell in it, as in his own Temple? As also Christ himself nameth his body a Temple. Joh. 2. So both the prophesies are fulfilled, not as in a temple of stone, or a figure, whose glory was much less then the glory of Solomons Temple, neither did that Temple continue everlastingly, but after the Messiah was exalted, to wit, that same true Temple was taken away into the fathers glory, never after to be builded again. The prophecy of Isaiah is plain in ⟨p. 136⟩the 60. Chapter, vers 13. The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree, the elm, and the box tree together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary: For I will glorify the place of my feet. And in the same place, I will make thee an eternal glory, &c. The Prophecy of Haggai in the second Chapter is more notable: So saith the Lord there. Speak now unto Zerubbabel, the Son of Shealtiel, Prince of Judah, and to Jehosua the Son of Jehozadak the high Priest, and to the residue of the people saying, who is left among you that saw this house in her fi•st glory, and how do you see it now? Is it not in your eyes in comparison of it, as nothing? Yet now saith the Lord of hosts, strengthen thy self Zerubbabel, &c. And a little after: Thus saith the Lord God of hosts, yet a little while, and I will move the heaven and earth, and the the sea, and the dry land: and I will move all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come, and I will fill this house with glory saith the Lord of hosts.
IEremie 23. Beholde the dayes come, saith the Lord of hoastes. And I will raise vp a braunch to my seruaunt Dauid, and this is his name whereby they shall call him. The Lorde of hoastes our righteousnesse. The prophesie is fulfilled. Luke 1. verses 31.22.33.35. Daniel in the 9. Chapter foretolde that the holinesse of holinesses must be annointed, whereby in verie deede he sheweth plainely and cleerely, that his conception must be holy, and must be the seconde Temple yet standing. What, that the Prophet Isaiah, and Haggeus foreshewed that it shoulde come to passe, that the glorie of the seconde Temple should be much greater then the glorie of the first, it shoulde be euerlasting: was it not truely fulfilled in this most pure conception of the Sonne of God,1 in which by the power of the holy Ghost, that same euerlasting worde hath personally vnited the humaine nature, and hath begon to dwell in it, as in his owne Temple? As also Christ himselfe nameth his body a Temple. Ioh. 2. So both the prophesies are fulfilled, not as in a temple of stone, or a figure, whose glorie was much lesse then the glorie of Salomons Temple, neither did that Temple continewe euerlastingly, but after the Messiah was exalted, to wit, that same true Temple was taken away into the fathers glorie, neuer after to be builded againe. The prophesie of Isaias is playne in ⟨p. 136⟩the 60. Chapiter, vers 13. The glory of Lybanon shall come vnto thee, the firre tree, the elme, and the boxe tree together, to bewtifie the place of my sanctuary: For I will glorifie the place of my feete. And in the same place, I will make thee an eternall glorie, &c. The Prophesie of Haggai in the second Chapiter is more notable: So saith the Lorde there. Speake nowe vnto Zerubbabel, the sonne of Shealtiel, Prince of Iudah, and to Iehosua the sonne of Iehozadak the high Priest, and to the residue of the people saying, who is lefte among you that sawe this house in her fi•st glorie, and howe do you see it nowe? Is it not in your eyes in comparison of it, as nothing? Yet now saith the Lorde of hoastes, strengthen thy selfe Zerubbabel, &c. And a litle after: Thus saith the Lord God of hoastes, yet a little while, and I will moue the heauen and earth, and the the sea, and the drie land: and I will moue all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come, and I will fill this house with glory saith the Lord of hoastes.
