Quest. 4. When will the Court fit, when will the time of Judgment be?
Quest. 4. When will the Court fit, when will the time of Iudgment be?
Resp. For the Quando, or the time of the General Judgment, it is a Secret kept from the Angels, Matt. 24.36. Of that day and hour knows no Man, no not the Angels of Heaven. But this is sure, it cannot be far off: One great sign of the approach of the Day of Judgment, is, That Iniquity shall abound, Matt. 24. Sure then this day is near at hand, for Iniquity did never more abound than in this Age: Lust grows hot and Love grows cold. This is certain, when the Elect are all converted, then Christ will come to Judgment: As he that owes a Ferry-boat, stays till all the Passengers are taken into his Boat, and then he rows away. So Christ stays till all the Elect are gathered in, and then he will hasten away to judgment.
