These two last Chapters set down the glorious condition of the Church in the latter end of the world, and as it shall be in the consummation of all things: when the present state of things shall determine in the second coming of Christ. For howsoever (no doubt but) there is set down the glorious condition of the Church in this world in part: yet the desire of the Church rests not in any condition here, therefore it is carried to the consummation and perfection of all. There shall be a kind of new world at the conversion of the Jews: but when the Church is under that blessed condition, yet it is under desires still of farther perfection, till an end be made of all things. Therefore this saying here, Come, hath reference to the future state of the Church. All the desires of the Church are restless till the consummation ⟨p. 100⟩of all things in the latter coming of Christ. It carries all before it in a desire, Come Lord therefore to call the Jews: Come Lord to confound Antichrist, which must be before that: for the Jews will never come in, till the scandal of Idolatry be removed: & when all this is fulfilled, then come Lord to make an end of this sinful world.
