§. 60. Of Christs entering once into Heaven.

THe time of Christs entering into heaven is limited by this particle, a 1.1 〈◊〉〈◊〉 This is not here taken as it was, v. 7. for once a year: but exclusively once for ever. Thus it is taken, chap. 6. v. 4. and Iude v. 3. In this exclusive respect men are said, once to die, v. 27. And it is said of Christ, that he died for sin once. Rom. 6. 10. That Christ entered but once into heaven, is evident by this phrase, whom the Heaven must receive, until the time of restitution of all things. Act. 3. 21.

Christ in the dayes of his flesh did and endured whatsoever was requifite for mans eternal redemption. v. 26. see more hereof, chap. 7. v. 27. §. 115.

Among other Arguments this may be pressed against the conceit of Christs per∣sonal reigning on earth for a thousand years, after which, they say, he is to enter in∣to heaven again. But hereof we may have a more fit occasion to speak upon the last verse of this Chapter. §. 143.
