as Enoch the seventh from Noah, prophesied, Jud. 14. 15. But the precious faith of the Saints, shall be found to praise, and honour, and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ, 1 Pet. 1. 7. When the chief Shepherd shall appear, we shall receive a ⟨p. 136⟩Crown of glory that fadeth not away, 1 Pet. 5. 4. He that was once offered to bear the sins of many, (and now appeareth for us in the presence of God) shall unto them that look for him appear the second time, without sin, to salvation,] Heb. 9. 24. 28. And When Christ who is our life shall appear, then shall we also appear with him in Glory, Col. 3. 4. The Lord shall then come to be glorified in his Saints, and admired in all them that believe, in that day, 2 Thes. 1. 10. This is the day that all believers should long, and hope, and wait for, as being the accomplishment of all the work of their redemption, and all the desires and endeavours of their souls. It is the hope of this day that animateth the holy diligence of our lives, and makes us turn from the carelessness and sensuality of the world. [For the grace of God that bringeth salvation, hath appeared unto all men; teaching us, that denying ungodliness, and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godlily in this present world: looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of our great God, and our Saviour Jesus Christ,] Tit. 2. 11, 12, 13. The heavens and the earth that are now, are kept in store by the word of God, reserved unto fire, against the day of judgment, and perdition of ungodly men. And though the Lord seem to delay, he is not slack of his promise (as some men count slackness:) for a day is with ⟨p. 137⟩him as a thousand years, and a thousand years but as a day. But the day of the Lord will come as a Thief in the night, in the which the Heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat: the earth also and the works that are therein, shall be burnt up. Seeing then all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought we to be in all holy conversation and godliness; looking for, and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the Heavens being on fire, shall be dissolved, and the elements melt with fervent heat! But we, according to his promise, look for new Heavens, and a new Earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness] 2 Pet. 3. 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13.
