The Matter out of which the Lord Jesus Christ will create the WORLD ⟨p. 6⟩to come, whereof we treat, is a mere Chaos, viz. the Confusion and Desolation of this present evil world. All things will be in a confused and desolate Condition; towards the End of this world will be perilous Times, 2 Tim. 3.1. In the last days perilous Times shall come. And great Tribulations, such as never was, Mat. 24.21. yea and most wicked Abomination; the whole world lying in wickedness, 1 John 5.19. and behold then (even then) will the Lord Jesus Christ appear, Matth. 24.29, 30. And HE will come, and restore all things. For then will be the Times of the Restitution of all things, Act. 3.21. and then will Christ Restore our Judges as at the first, Isa. 1.26, 27. HE will make our Oppressors Peace, and our Exactors Righteousness. Isa. 60.17.
