Prop. 2. When the salvation of Israel is near unto its accomplishment, the mystery of it shall be more clearly and fully understood, than in former times it hath been. For it is a true and ancient observation, (z)That the event is the best Interpreter ⟨p. 21⟩of Prophecies. It is now a great question which of the vials are past, and which future: But if God let us live to hear of the destruction of Rome, we shall then know which of the vials are past, and which are to come; and all the mystery of God will then be marvellously discovered. Besides, after-ages stand upon the shoulders of them which went before them, and therefore the age immediately preceding the fulfilment of these Prophesies, may well see further into them, than others have done. As in other Prophesies so in this, when the time of the end is at hand, they are to be unsealed, Dan. 12.4, 9. Rev. 32.10. And one reason of this is, because, when God is about to accomplish this great and glorious design of his grace and providence, he will have much prayer to be made for it, and therefore will he discover it unto his servants, that so they may be stirred up to cry mightily unto the Lord, that he would perform the intents of his heart.
