2. The doors of Heaven are thrown open to thee. The everlasting gates are set wide for thee, and an abundant entrance into the Kingdom of Heaven administered to thee. Christ now bespeaks thee (as she her husband) Arise and take possession. ⟨p. 193⟩1 Kings 21. 15. View the glory of the other world as set forth in the map of the Gospel. Get thee up into the Pisgah of the promises, and lift up thine eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and see the good land that is beyond Jordan, and that goodly mountain. Behold the Paradise of God, watered with the streams of glory. Arise and walk through the land, in the length of it, and in the breadth of it, for all the land which thou seest, the Lord will give it to thee for ever, if thou wilt but return. Gen. 13, 14, 15, 17. Let me say to thee as Paul to Agrippa, Believest thou the Prophets? If thou believest indeed, do but view what glorious things are spoken of the City of God, Psal. 87. 3. and know, that all this is here tendered in the name of God to thee. As verily as God is true, it shall be for ever thine, if thou wilt but throughly turn.
