Luke 19. 11. Christ went to receive a Kingdom; and did he receive none till his return at the Resurrection? what can be plainer ⟨p. 11⟩against you: He ascended to be presently possest of a greater Possession of Power: All Power in Heaven and Earth was given him before his Return.
You say, This is not the State of the Kingdom where God shall be All in All. Ans. These are but your own words often answered and confuted.
From Mat. 16. 26, 27. One would think that it should be a good Argument that Christ shall have one Kingdom, that was first obscured by flesh's weakness, after come in visible Power to Judgment, and pass into Glory, because some then alive should see the pledge and appearance of it. But you hence gather, that because men shall see the appearance of his heavenly Glorious Reign, therefore he shall have none of that Reign in the Kingdom of Grace or Endless Glory, but in a third and middle Kingdom; such Collections expound your self, more than the Text.
