6. This salvation will be glorious, inasmuch as thereby great advantage will come unto the Gentiles. They shall hold out the sweet breasts of Gospel-Ordinances in such power and glory as shall be greatly to the satisfaction of elect Gentiles, Isa. 66.10, 11. Some (c)indeed have thought, that as when the Gentiles were called, the Jews were rejected, so when the Jews shall be recalled, that the Gentiles shall be rejected: And it is a terrible truth, that the Apostate Antichristian Gentiles shall then be rejected and destroyed, even whole Kingdoms and Nations together, but otherwise, not judgment, but great and glorious mercy shall redound unto Gentiles by the conversion of the Jews, Rom. 11.30, 31. And the Apostle ⟨p. 62⟩saith, if the world (i. e. the Gentiles, who are often called the world in Scripture, in contradistinction to the Jews, who only were the Church formerly) gained by the fall of the Jews, surely the Gentile world shall much more gain by their return, verse 12. And the truth of this is evident, 1. Because when the blessed time is come that all Israel shall be saved, a world of unconverted Gentiles shall be brought home unto God also, Isa. 2.3. & 60.5. Zech. 2.11. Many Nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and shall be his people: So Chap. 8.22. and verse 23. It is said that ten men (i. e. (d)many Gen. 31.41. Job 19.3. Eccles. 7.19.) Out of all languages shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, we will go with you, for we have heard that God is with you. Although it be certain that God will preserve an holy seed for a Church upon earth, […] converting work will not go forward so as were to be desired, till the time come when all Israel shall be saved, and then will converting work go on gloriously all the world over, even amongst Indians and Infidels, and such as never heard of the name of Jesus.
