The glorious kingdom of Christ, described and clearly vindicated against the bold asserters of a future calling and reign of the Jews, and 1000 years before the conflagration and the asserters of the 1000 years kingdom after the conflagration : opening the promise of the new heaven and earth and the everlastingness of Christ's kingdom against their debasing it, who confine it to 1000 years ... : answering Mr. Tho.

2. Read the whole Text, and you will find most express passages, that cannot be applied to any such time and use as this in question, but plainly speak of their return from Captivity, and their following state. It would too much swell my Book to try and vindicate all the particular Texts Mr. James Calvert, having already done it in his Naphthali, yet unanswered.

The Prophesies of the honour of the Jews, and their Restoration, had divers degrees of fulfilling. 1. They were primarily fulfilled in the return from Captivity, and the Power that followed under Zerubbabel and the Maccabees. 2. They were further fulfilled by the Coming of the Messiah, of the Seed of Abraham and David, in whom all the Nations of the Earth are blessed. 3. They were further fulfilled at Christs Resurrection, Ascension, and Effusion of the Holy Ghost, and the many Thousands of them Converted; And their spreading the Gospel over the Gentile World. 4. It was yet more fulfilled when Dominion was given to Christians, and the fullness of the Gentiles brought in all Israel, and settled a National Church in Judea, and put all their Enemies in subjection to the Catholic Church of Jewish and Gentile Christians, reconciled in one Body, the partition Wall being broken down 5. It will be yet more fulfilled in the New Heaven and Earth; under the Gospel there is neither Circumcision not Uncircumcision, but Christ is All and in All: How much more in the New World?
