The Lord shall descend with a shout but before he descend, and I believe upon the very discovery of his coming down, there will be a shout in Heaven for so it follows, And the seventh Angel sounded, and there were great voices in Heaven * if we may believe Commentaries, these are the voices of blessed souls, and blessed souls, and blessed Angels in heaven no sooner Christ bids the Angel sound] q. This seventh Angel (saith Pareus) is the Arch-angel that proclaims Christ's coming, with a great and mighty shout * For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the Arch-angel, and with the trump of God. No sooner this said, but the seventh Angel sounds. I swear by him that lives for ever, * that time shall be no longer. And now, * O my Father, I have done that office of the Priest-hood which by agreement we erected, is now at an end: here I have sate at thy right hand interceding for my Saints ever since my ascension and of all that thou hast given me by thine eternal election I have not lost a Saint in their several ages I produced them and gave them a being, and in their times I remembred them, and presented their conditions and necessities before thee and now I have not a Saint more in the Book of life there is not another name written to be born on earth and to what purpose should I now continue the world? the Saints are they for whom I made the world, the Saints are they that hold forth the light of my glory in the world, the Saints are they for whom my eternal counsels before the world did work, the Saints are they for whom I was content to shed my precious blood when I was in that world be∣low and now their number is compleated, I am resolved to unpin the fabrick of the world, and take it down it stands but for their sakes, and therefore now let the seventh Angel blow his trumpet, that the mystery of God may be finished. And if this speech be directed unto God, it is as if Christ had bespoke his Father thus. It comes out of the Temple of Heaven, that we may understand it to be the voice of Christ. A great voice comes out of the Temple of Heaven, saying, it is done.
When once the number of all his Elect shall be compleated, and the work of his intercession shall be at an end, then immediately will follow these particulars. Christ (notwithstanding this) being all in all to his blessed, saved, redeemed Saints to all eternity.ġ. Christ's subjection to the Father, that God may be all in all. Christ surrendring and delivering up the Kingdom to God even the Father. Christ and his Saints going up into Heaven when shall be the end of this world. Christ and the Saints judging the rest of the world. Christ's sentencing or judging the Saints for eternal glory. Christ and the Saints meeting at the judgment day.

In this piece also as in the former we shall first lay down the object, and then give directions how to look upon it.

Of Christ's preparing for Judgment.ĪND is not yet all done? O the unwearied patience, love, mercy, free grace of Christ in carrying on this mighty work! he begun it before the beginning of the world since then he hath been labouring in it about six thousand years and now the time of restoring being come, he will perfect what he hath begun, and bring on the other end of the Golden chain Moreover, whom he did predestinate, them he also called * and whom he called, them he also justified and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
