1. He'll then Declare before all the world, that they are Faultless: That there is no Guilt on them. Jude 24. They shall be presented Faultless before the presence of His Glory, with exceeding joy That must needs cause Exceeding joy, for them to be presented Faultless. Christ will say concerning them, as for their sins He has washed them away in His own Blood. And that although they were some of them Guilty of very grievous sins before their Conversion, and many infirmities after their Conversion, notwithstanding that, His Father for His sake, has forgiven them all. Acts 3.19 That your Sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord. Christ will then Declare before all Angels and Men, that their sins are blotted out. Were not their sins blotted out before Christs Glorious Appearing? Yes, but then all the world shall know that they were so. Their Absolution will then be Declared, their ⟨p. 20⟩Pardon will then be Read before all Angels and Men. All the World shall then see Christ giving them the white Stone; See them placed at His Right hand, Mat. 25.33 which is a Declaring them to be acquitted. Amongst the Jews in their Judicatures, such persons as the Judge on trial acquitted, were set at his Right-hand.
