§ 23 The season wherein the promised glory was to be brought in, is next noted in the Context. It is expressed v. 6. [Greek or Hebrew], The Jews generally refer these words, unto the Rule or Kingdom of the Hasmoneans, under whom the people were to enjoy their liberty, which is said to be a little season, as continuing seventy or eighty years: For it is said to be little, because they had but a small Dominion in comparison of their former Kingdom and Empire. But it is evident from the Context, that the Prophet had no respect unto Rule or Dominion in these words. For what ever is intended in this Expression, it hath a direct and immediate influence into the bringing in of the desire of all Nations, and the glory promised, which the Rule of the Hasmoneans reached not unto. Our Apostle, Heb. 12.24. renders these words [Greek or Hebrew], literally and properly [Greek or Hebrew], yet more once, or yet once more. God had before done some work, whereunto that which he promised now to do is compared. Such a concussion of all things had been before; and this as is evident from v. 5. was the work that he wrought at the giving of the Law, and the erection of the Judaical Church, State and Ordinances. In answer hereunto, he would bring in the everlasting Kingdom of the Messiah, and the spiritual Worship to be celebrated therein, the Old Church-State of the Jews in this shaking of all things being removed and taken away.
