First, God will take the Believer unto a state wherein he shall be immediately beholding of himself in Christ Jesus. We shall come into the Presence of our Lord, and behold our Joseph, our Jesus, in all his glory. There shall then be fulfilled that part of our Lord's Intercession, in Joh. 17. 24. Let them be with me, where I am, that they may behold my glory. God will take us, where we shall see the Countenance, and hear the Conference too of that Man, in whom dwells the fullness of the Godhead bodily. God will take us into the Embraces of him who has loved us, and washed us away from our sins in his own blood. And when we see him, we shall see God in him. I suppose that he is the large Golden Vessel full of God, from which the heavenly Visions of God are to be derived for evermore. Our Felicity shall be that in Mat. 5. 8. They shall see God. God will take us, where we shall be made sensible of his Attributes and Perfections, in a measure that we are not used unto. God will take us, where we shall not so much in any Creature ⟨p. 33⟩as in the Mediator, see him that is Invisible.
