Secondly, the judgement here, only refers to the judging of the Heathen round about; Now the general judgement is for the judging of the righteous and the unrighteous.
Secondly, the judgement here, onely referres to the judging of the Heathen round about; Now the generall judgement is for the judging of the righteous and the unrighteous.
Thirdly, that it is impossible that the Valley of Jehoshaphat should contain all the men that ever were, that are, and that shall be in the World to be judged, therefore it is not probable that this hath reference to the last judgement.
Thirdly, that it is impossible that the Valley of Jehoshaphas should containe all the men that ever were, that are, and that shall be in the World to be judged, therefore it is not probable that this hath refetence to the last judgement.
Fourthly, the time that this judgement here is spoken of, it is limited by the Prophet himself, for compare this verse with the second verse. I will also gather all Nations, and will bring them down into the Valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my People, and for my heritage Israel, whom, they have scattered among the Nations, and parted my Land. The time is spoken of when God shall turn again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, then God should judge the Babylonians, and those Heathen Nations that assisted them for to undo the people of God; therefore it refers to some time after the captivity, and not to the general and last coming of the Son of God, and thus much for taking off that Text from being a patronage of that fond conceit of Christs coming to judge the World in the Valley of Jehoshaphat, and the Scripture is far from giving you the place where Christ shall come to judgement, either in the Valley of Jehoshaphat or Mount Olivet, but only in the air.
