Answ, 1 For resolution, Interpreters answer that this is to be understood not in respect of the time, but as soon as they came to be illuminated, to have their eyes open, to see any thing of the truth, in the morning of their day of grace; as in Cyrus his time, and upon a sudden in Peters Sermon, and hereafter, the coming of the Son of man shall be as the lightning: this time seems to be called the day-star arising in their hearts, 2 Pet. 1. The calling of the Jews shall be suddenly, therefore in the 2. of the Revelation 28. they are promised to have the morning star to arise, that is, some beginnings of a day of grace, those which overcome shall partake of the good of that day, and then shall be the time in which the people shall seek God early.
