4. The Palm-Trees thus placed, may be also to show us, that the Elect of God shall there take up the vacancies of the Fallen Angels; they for sin were cast down from the holy Heavens; and we by Grace shall be caught up thither, and be placed between a Cherub and a Cherub. When I say their places, I do not mean the fickleness of that state, that they for want of Electing Love did stand in while in Glory; for the Heavens, by the Blood of Christ, is ⟨p. 215⟩now to us become a purchased Possession; wherefore, as we shall have their place in the Heavenly Kingdom, so by virtue of Redeeming Blood, we shall there abide, and go no more out, for by that means that Kingdom will stand to us unshaken; Heb. 9.12. Chap. 12.22, 23, 24, 28. Revel. 3.12.
