I would through the Divine Assistance ⟨p. 37⟩of the Spirit and Grace of God, make some Application of this our general Position unto the Churches of Saints, for their edification.
First, I most humbly beseech all the Churches of Saints, to receive this Doctrine of Christ's Second Personal Coming from Heaven, And to believe,
1. That when HE comes, he will glorify the House of his Glory, Isa. 60.1, 2, 7. and will make Zion an eternal Excellency, vers. 14.15, 22. God will build up Zion, and then he shall appear in his Glory, Psal. 102.13, 16. Then shall Zion be the Perfection of Beauty, Psal. 50.2. Out of which God shall shine. In that DAY God shall be his Churches everlasting Light and Glory, Isa. 60.19. & Rev. 21.23. Then shall Christ and his Church be each others Crown and Glory, Isa. 28.5. In that DAY shall the LORD of Hosts be for a Crown of Glory, and for a Diadem of Beauty unto the Residue of his People, Isa. 62.3. Thou shalt also be a Crown of Glory in the hand of the LORD, and a Royal Diadem in the hand of thy God. Read
