The Mountain of the Lords House shall be lifted up on the top of the Mountains, Isa. 2.2. In the last days it shall be more glorious than any Mountain dignified by God: Above Mount Sinai, where the Law was given, the terrestrial Mount Zion, where the Temple was built, Mount Moriah, where Abraham had a type of the Death and Resurrection of Christ, Mount Horeb, where Moses by prayer discomfited Amalek, and Mount Pisgah, where Moses had a prospect of Canaan. Abraham's Conquest of the four Kings, Gen. 14. seems to be a figure of the Churches Victories, when the captive Lots should be rescued, and Sodom it self be something better for Zion. Then shall Christ meet her as King of Salem, King of Peace, with the blessings of the most High God. Then shall he, as he did at the Feast in Cana, turn the Churches Water into Wine. Idols shall be utterly abolished, Isa. 2.18. Dross and mixtures in Doctrine and Worship purged out, Rev. 22.1. The River of the water of life shall be as clear as Crystal, proceeding from the Throne of God, and of the Lamb. The everlasting Gospel preached, Rev. 14.6. called everlasting, because it shall never more be clouded and obscured by the foolish Inventions of men; there shall be no more Sea, Rev. 21.1. The troubles of Zion, signified by a stormy Sea, shall cease, and a new Heaven, and a new Earth be created; there shall be multitude of conversions, Rev. 11.15. The Kingdoms of the world shall become the Kingdoms of Christ. The breath of the Lord shall come into many, and make them stand upon their feet, Ezek. 37.9, 10. There shall be a greater presence of God in Ordinances, for the Earth shall shine with his glory, Ezek. 43.2. Holiness shall sparkle in her, for the glory of the Lord shall be upon her,
