REVEL. 19. VERSE 6. And I heard as it were the voice of a great Multitude, and as the voice of many Waters, and as the voice of mighty Thunderings, saying HALLELUJAH, for the LORD GOD Omnipotent reigneth.
REVEL. 19. VERSE 6. And I heard as it were the voice of a great Multitude, and as the voice of many Waters, and as the voice of mighty Thundrings, saying HALLELVIAH, for the LORD GOD Omnipotent reigneth.
AT the pouring forth of the first Vial, there was a Voice, saying, BABYLON is fallen, it is fallen: at the pouring forth of the sixth, John hears a voice as the voice of many Waters, and as the voice of Thunderings, saying Hallelujah, the Lord God omnipotent reigneth, immediately following the other. Babylons falling is Scions ⟨p. 2⟩raising Babylons destruction is Jerusalems salvation. The fourth Vial was poured upon the Sun, which is yet doing, (namely upon the Emperor and that House of Austria) and will be till that House be destroyed. The heat of that makes the seat of the Beast hot, and prepares it unto the fire, that it is appointed unto God is beginning the pouring forth of the fifth Vial, namely, upon the Throne of the Beast, upon Babylon; this is the work that is in hand: as soon as ever this is done, that Antichrist is down, Babylon fallen, then comes in Jesus Christ reigning gloriously; then comes in this Hallelujah, the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. Let Christ live, and Barabbas die, was the last speech of Tremellius: Let Babylon fall, let Jerusalem rise, and Christ reign in his glory; this is the voice of all the Saints this day, and will continue to their last Voice: It is the work of the day to cry down Babylon, that it may fall more and more, and it is the work of the day to give God no rest, till he sets up Jerusalem as the praise of the whole World. Blssed is he that dasheth the Brats of Babylon against the stones: Blessed is he that hath any hand in pulling down Babylon: and beautiful likewise are the feet of them that bring glad tidings unto Jerusalem, unto Zion, saying, The Lord God omnipotent reigneth. This is the work of this Exercise; to show unto you, how upon the destruction of Babylon Christ shall reign gloriously, and how we are to further it.
