4. This is yet further manifest, from Rev. 19.1. where it is said, after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia, salvation, and glory, and honour, and power unto the Lord our God. What is the meaning of this? It may note unto us, that after Rome is destroyed, the Jews shall be brought into Christ; for Alleluia being (b)an Hebrew word, may intimate, that the persons therein especially concerned, are Hebrews, or Israelites; as when in Chap. 9. verse 11. there is both an Hebrew, and a Greek word used; it showeth that both Jews and Gentiles were therein concerned, that both of them should be poisoned with Mahumetism, and stung with Saracenical locusts: So here, the Hebrew word used, may signify that the Hebrew Nation is concerned. But when shall they say, Alleluia? the Text saith, after these things, i. e. after the pouring forth of the vials full of the wrath of God upon the Antichristian world, after the destruction of Babylon, which was described in the fore-going Chapter. And a great (c)Interpreter hath well observed, that this manner of transition, to say, after these things is never used in the Apocalypse, but when that which followeth is in time after that which went before. Now then, if all these things be laid together, and weighed in the balance of the Sanctuary, it is very evident that Rome must be destroyed before the Jews can be converted. And why may not this be ⟨p. 25⟩one thing meant by (†)the fullness of the Gentiles coming in? sc. that when the Gentiles shall have fulfilled the days of their Antichristian Apostasy, and when the time is come that the Gentiles shall set themselves to destroy Anti-Christ, then all Israel shall be saved. Consider therefore Rom. 11.25.26. with Rev. 17.17. &
