4ly, There will a day come, when the saved Tribes of Israel shall enjoy great outward peace, and in that respect it might well be said that they shall partake of a temporal salvation. Indeed a ⟨p. 122⟩little before the conversion of the Jews, there will be the most terrible doings in the world that ever was heard of, in respect of wars and commotions, the waves of the Sea roaring, confused noise and garments rolled in blood, blood and fire, and vapour of smoke; but after the kingdom shall be restored unto Israel, then will be glorious day• of peace and tranquillity. See some Scriptures for this; Hos. 2.18. I will break the bow and the sword, and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely, Zech. 14.11. And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction, but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited. Yea there will be wonderful peace and prosperity in those days, such as never was since the world began. Isa. 66.12. I will extend peace to her like a River. See also Chap. 60. ver. 18. & Mic. 4.3, 4. And ye shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong Nations afar off and they shall beat their swords into plough shares, and their spears into pruning hooks: Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more, but they shall sit every man under his vine, and under his fig-tree, and none shall make them afraid; for the mouth of the Lord of Host's hath spoken it. Then certainly it shall com• to pass that there will a day be upon earth when the nations shall be at peace, and war shall be learned no more, if• the mouth of the Lord of Host's hath spoken it.
