About the time of his coming, they are woefully perplexed, as we shall see afterwards. But many tokens they have of it when it doth come; for they heap up, out of some Allegorical passages in the Scripture, such stupendous Prodigies as never were nor shall be in the world. One of the principal of them is the sounding of the great Trumpet which all Israel shall hear, and the world tremble at; from Isa. 27. v. 13. The finding of the Ark and Sacred Fire, which things were talked of in the late Rumours about them, are indeed a part of their Creed in this matter. His Office, when he comes, is to be a King, which he shall be anointed unto by them, when they are gathered together. And the work he is to do, is in War, to fight with Armillus, Gog and Magog, to conquer the Edomites and Ishmaelites, that is the Romish Christians, and Turks or Saracens, and in so doing to erect a glorious Kingdom at Jerusalem: in Peace, he is to Rule righteously, not only over Israel, but also all the Nations of the world if they have any difference amongst them, shall refer all unto his determination and Umpirage. In Religion, he shall build the Third Temple mentioned by Ezekiel, restore the Sacrifices, and cause the Law of Moses to be most strictly observed. But that which is the head of all, he shall free the Jews from their Captivity, restore them to their own Land, make Princes and Lords of them all, giving them the wealth of all Nations, either conquered by him, or brought voluntarily unto him; feast them on Behemoth, Zis, and the Wine of Paradise, so that they shall see want and poverty no more.
