1. In that it will be a Fiery day. This visible ⟨p. 73⟩World is subject to a two-fold Destruction, one by Water, the other by Fire: that by water was accomplished on the old world in the Days of Noah; the other by Fire will take place at the day of Judgment. 2. Pet. 3.7. The Heavens & the earth are reserved unto fire against the day of judgement. & ver. 12. Looking for the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, & the Elements shall melt with fervent heat. The Scriptures both of the Old and of the New Testament speak of this fire. Psal. 50.3. Is•i. 66.15, 16. The Day of Judgment will begin with flaming fire. Dan. 7.9, 10.2. Thes. 1.8. Yea, and end so too, Rev. 20.9. Now what a terrible day will that be▪ when all the earth shall burn at once, and the Heavens be all on a light flame also!
