You know who hath turned the saddest and sorest Perplexities, that ever the world shall see, into a Doctrine of Comfort and Consolation to his Church and People: And upon this ground; Because Then is their Redemption nearest when their troubles are highest. 1Luke 21.25. There shall be signs in the Sun, the Moon, and upon earth distress of Nations, with perplexity; the Sea and waters roaring; mens hearts failing them for fear: the Powers of heaven shall be shaken. And, when these things begin to come to pass. Then lift up your heads: For your Redemption Draweth Nigh. See how near the day of Redemption is, to the day of destruction; Christ takes here a Rise of Comfort, from the lowest Condition that can be.
