Let us then consider, that there is 1. A preparatory salvation of Israel. Hence we read of the way of the Kings of the East being prepared, Rev. 16.12. See also Ezek. 37.7. As I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together bone to his bone. When this salvation of Israel shall begin, it will make a noise, and a sound all the world over, even such a noise as shall make the Nations stand amazed. The dead bones when they begin to stir will make a rattling all the world over, and a shaking: As when the Jews were returned out of Babylon, there was a noise and a shaking, for the Babylonian Empire was shaken in pieces, and all the earth was moved at the fall thereof. Even so when the twelve Tribes of Israel shall be saved, Babylon shall be shaken, the Turkish Empire shall be shaken, the house of Austria shall be shaken, and other Kingdoms shall be shaken; and this shaking is preparative: Read the verses following. 2. There is a plenary salvation of Israel. This doth not take place till after the destruction of Ezekiel's Gog and Magog, i. e. the Turk, Ezek. 39.22. And (which will be at the same time) the utter abolition of the man of sin.
