A Congregation of Kings and Priests in all their Royal Robes: Yea (as I may so say) a Congregation or Constellation of Morning-Stars, yea of so many Noon-day Suns, arising from the Earth, co-Ascending through the several Regions of the Air, to meet the Sun of Righteousness, now descending from his own Orb of Supreme Glory and Majesty in the highest Heavens, to Judg both the quick and the dead?
A Congregation of Kings and Priests in all their Royal Robes: Yea (as I may so say) a Congregation or Constellation of Morning-Starrs, yea of so many Noon-day Suns, arising from the Earth, co-Ascending through the several Regions of the Air, to meet the Sun of Righteousness, now descending from his own Orb of Supream Glory and Majesty in the highest Heavens, to Judg both the quick and the dead?
Surely such an Assembly, eye never saw, ear never heard of, nor can it enter into the heart of man, to conceive how immense, how august, how exceeding, it will be in glory!
While, in the mean time, the Congregation of the Reprobate, the Malignant Church that are left below upon the Earth on the left hand, shall stand trembling, looking upwards, and gnashing their Teeth to see this sudden and tremendous turn of things; the Saints whom they despised and persecuted before, thus snatched out of their cursed power and fellowship, Ascending in so much Pomp and Royalty to meet their glorious Redeemer! They themselves left behind to curse themselves, and one another, for their Prejudices, Envy, and Rage, which once they breathed out against Gods people: and shall be filled with horror and astonishment, in the certain looking for of Judgment, and that fiery Indignation which shall devour the Adversaries; and even now already, seizing upon them.
