Fourthly, Christs coming shall be gloriously, and there shall be many things that shall make the coming of Christ to be a glorious coming, he shall come in the clouds, these glorious bodies shall be the triumphant and swift Chariots of the Son of God, wherein he will come to judge the world; and his Attendance shall make him glorious, Daniel 7. 10. A fiery stream issued, and came forth from before him, thousand thousands ministered unto him; and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him, the judgement was set, and the books where opened, Jude 14. and Enoch also the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten ⟨p. 177⟩thousand of his Saints. And in 2 Thess. 1. 7. And to you who are troubled, rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from Heaven, with his mighty Angels. O then behold the clouds to be the Triumphant Chariots of Christ, the Innumerable company of Saints and Angels to be attendants on the person of Christ to come to judge the world, and that is the reason that he is called so glorious, Mat. 24. 30. And they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of Heaven, with power and great glory. Mat. 16. 27. For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his Angels. Luk. 9. 26. For whosoever shall be ashamed of me, and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, & in his Fathers, and of the Holy Angels. And that is the reason of that Epithet given to Christs coming Titus 2. 13. Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God, and our Saviour Jesus Christ. Now beloved, Christs coming to have this property or this manner, the reason must be to distinguish his second coming from his first coming; to take off the contempt and reproach that was on Jesus Christ in his first coming, and he shall come in glory in the second coming.
