2. There will be at that day a manifestation of things. The Books that are now sealed up, will then be opened, Rev. 20.12.
The Book of the Divine Decrees will then be unclasped, and the Names written in the Lambs Book of Life will then be visible and legible to all. And I saw the dead small and great stand before God, and the Books were opened, and another Book was opened, which is the Book of Life, Rev. 20.12. All the Divine Providences ⟨p. 13⟩in time will be manifest, then will the Divine Purpose from eternity, as now the Divine Purpose is manifest by the Divine Providence.
The Book of Divine Providences will then be opened, and all the rare curious Contrivances thereof unfolded; the agreement of Providence with the Promises (as well as with the eternal Purpose) will then be apparent. The History of the whole World will then be read by the Saints in one entire Volume. Now we see a little of Gods Wisdom, and Power, and Faithfulness in one Providence, and a little in another, and a little in a third; yea, we are so blind, and Providences often so dark, that through our ignorance and unbelief, God loseth much of the Glory due to him for them, and we much of the comfort we might receive by them; but then we shall with strengthened and enlarged Understandings discern the whole Series, Method, and Contexture of Divine Providences together, and how by a powerful, wise, gracious Government, all things conspired, and combined, and wrought together for our everlasting good, Rom. 8.
