Christs personall reigne on earth, one thousand yeares with his saints the manner, beginning, and continuation of his reigne clearly proved by many plain texts of Scripture, and the chiefe objections against it fully answered, explaining the 20 Revelations and all other Scripture-prophecies that treat of it : containing a full reply to Mr. Alexander Petrie ... who wrote against ... Israels redemption / by Robert Maton.

Mr. Petrie's Answer.

The dreame implyeth nothing contrary to the exposition: and there∣fore leave probabilities that are contrary to certainties.

Reply.

Doubt lesse the dreame implyeth nothing contrary to the ex∣position: but both dreame and exposition doe point out our Sa∣ours personall reigne on earth. For the confirmation and mani∣festation of which truth, we bring not probabilities onely, but certainties too; yea such certainties, as all your wit and wili∣nesse are not able to answer, or obscure: and therefore me thinks you have no cause to be offended with such variety of testimo∣nies. And had I said also, that this, which I called onely a proba∣bility, had been more then a probability, I had not overlasht. For seeing God by this image foreshewed Nebuchadnezzar what Kingdoms should succeed his unto the second comming of Christ: (all which time the Jewes should remaine captives, and tributa∣ries.) And that the falling of the stone on the feete of the image, did intimate both the second appearing of Christ, (for the first was when he was borne of a Virgine, when he was cut out with∣out hands:) and the expiration of the time allotted to the King∣domes represented by the image: It necessarily followes, that when the stone should fall on the image, (when the Kingdome of God should be set up, as it is expounded,) the Kingdoms pre∣figured by the image, should be no longer, should all be subdued: and that the mountaine filling the whole earth, the visible and Monarchicall Kingdome of Christ on earth, should succeed alone.
