At the coming of our Lord Jesus with all H•s Saints. Yet more, All the Saints then found alive on the Earth, shall be miraculously caught up into the Air, to meet the Lord at His coming, Chapt 4.17. As when a great Person is coming to this or that place, many go out to meet him; so when the Son of God shall visit this lower world with His Personal presence, all the Saints on Earth shall meet Him in the Air. And this may be the true meaning of that Scripture Luk. 17, 34. where Christ saith In that night there shall be two men in one bed, the one shall be taken and the other left. One shall be taken and caught up by the holy Angels to meet the Lord Jesus in the air, and the other shall be left to perish in that Fire ⟨p. 84⟩which shall then consume the world. Moreover, At the Day of Judgement, the Son of GOD shall sit upon a most glorious Throne, Matth. 25.31. Then shall He sit upon the throne of His glory, that is to say, His most glorious Throne: So that He will reign then visibly before the world. It is most true, that Christ reigns now in Heaven, but the greatest part of the Children of men in this world, do not know nor believe that: But therefore at the Day of judgment He shall reign in the visible, lower world. Jer. 23.5. A King shall reign and prosper and execute Judgment and justice in the earth. Christ's Judging the world belongs to his Kingly Office, Math. 25.34. Hence the Dispensation of Judgment is called His Kingdom, 2. Tim. 4.1. The holy Prophets of Old have spoken magnificently concerning the Reign and Kingdom of the Messiah. At the Day of Judgment the Truth of all those divine Predictions shall be manifest to all men. Then will Christ appear to be the greatest and most glorious Monarch that ever was. The world has looked upon the King of Persia as a mighty Monarch, because he reigned over a hundred and seven and twenty Provinces, Est. 1.1▪ But Christ shall reign over all Nations, from one end of the earth to the other. There shall be given to Him ⟨p. 85⟩Dominion and glory, and a Kingdom that all People, Nations and Languages should serve Him, His Dominion is an everlasting Dominion which shall not pass away. The Lord shall be King over all the earth, in that day there shall be one LORD, and His Name One.
