Two sorts of latter days, proved from Scripture. First, the latter days of perilous times, the which are to be ended before the great and glorious latter days have their beginning. Proved when the elder people or nation is to serve the younger. And by that servitude made blessed. The old and new testament made to agree. And truth vindicated against all heresies. By M. Marsin.

Wherefore God hated Esau or Edom.

And God speaking concerning this time to come, Mal. 1.3. That he loved Jacob, and hated Esau; is be∣cause the Younger Generation that then comes in of Israel, tho' their Predecessors that were under the Law, were formerly Wicked, yet the Lord for his Oaths sake will make his promise good to Israel in time to come. And then in the day of the Lord's power, he will make his People a willing People, Psal. 110.3. As he did upon the establishing of the Go∣pel, when he then took out from among the Gentiles a People for his Name, Acts 14.15. For a Prophesie of Scripture hath more than a private tendency, 2 Pet. 1.20. And this in the fore-cited Psalm, hath it's chief reference to the time to come: When Israel shall be all Righteous and inherit the Land for ever, Isa. 60.21. And then it is the Lord will ordain Peace for them: And work all their works in them, Isa. 26.12. And then it is, the Lord will not be wroth with them, nor rebuke them any more, Isa. 54.9. Then it is they will be of one Heart and one Way, Jer. 32.39. And then they shall dwell in Peaceable habitations, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting Places, Isa. 32.18. And then it is, that his Elect shall long injoy the work of their Hands, Isa. 65.22. And then it is, The Lord will plant them, that they may dwell in a Place of their own, and move no more

Neither shall the Children of Wickedness afflict them any were, 2 Sam. 7.10. And then it is, That God shall cause them that come of Jacob to take Root, Isa. 27.6. And then it is, God will rest in his love, Zeph. 3.17. For then the Lord will secure them to himself for ever∣more, by establishing the now promised New ever∣lasting Covenant, with Abraham and his Seed toge∣ther, Gen. 17.7, 8, 9. And this will be all done of Grace and Mercy, for the promise sake God made to their Fa∣thers, who obeyed the voice of the Lord, and kept his Charge, his Commandments, his Statutes, and his Laws, Gen. 26.5.

At which time the Young Offspring of Edom, their Mountains are then laid wast for the Sins of their Parents; And they sold to be Servants to them that are Servants to Israel. And they as the rest of the Nations, are left to their own free-will, which for the Thousand Years that Sa∣tan is bound, they may probably keep the Station in which God had placed them: But when Satan is a∣gain loosed, he readily deceives them; they not be∣ing willing to submit to the portion that God hath allotted them. By which God's indignation will be shewed against them, because they were of the Bor∣ders of Wickedness. And Satan will then insnare some other of the Nations with them, as many as he can draw to Covet and evil Covetousness; And then God leaves them to the Devil's delusion, to go up to plunder Israel, for which they will be destroy∣ed, Ezek. 28.12, 22. Whilst the other Nations that are likewise then left to their own free will; yet they not being willing to disobey God, could not be drawn to the coveting of Israel's wealth; as to Plunder and Rebel against them, unto whom God had given the Sovereignty. Thus God will be justified by them who then remain undeceived; that the others might have stood, if they would have resisted the Devils

Temptations. And after Satan is cast into the Fire of Hell for ever and ever, those People and Na∣tions that will obey the Lord, may; and those that will not, for want of Rain, will dwindle away, Zech. 14.17. And the others being not Fruitful, the Nati∣ons will decrease, and Israel according to the Word of the Lord will Blossom and Bud, and fill the face of the World with Fruit, Isa. 27.6. And then it is a little one shall become a Thousand, and a small one a strong Nation: The Lord will hasten it in his time, Isa. 60.22. And these are the World to come, and the World that will never be Judged: Because Israel is then betroth∣ed to the Lord for ever, in loving-kindness and in Mercy, Hosea 2.19. And therefore fore at the last Judg∣ment, when the Sea, and Hell, and Death deliver up their Dead, there is none of the Nations Judged, Rev. 20.13. For this World to come, is World with∣out end. For the Lord saith, Isa. 66.22. As the new Heavens, and the new Earth which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your Seed and your Name remain.

The which New Heavens and Earth which God will make, is to be comprehended under a two or threefold Head, for the Lord with the raised Saints, will be a Heaven; for in Scripture a ruling power is a Heaven, as I have already proved; and when the Lord comes with his Saints to take to himself his own great Power and Reign, Rev. 11.15, 17. Rev. 19.6, 7, 15. Then there is a new Heaven, wherein dwells Righteousness, and Israel when they are made Plants Righteousness, at which time they will be all Righte∣ous, Isa. 60.21. Then they will be the Earth, wherein dwells Righteousness, and these will be the new Hea∣vens and Earth that will take place upon the pas∣sing away of the Old, Rev. 21.1. 2dly, the Glori∣ous Mansion, which the Lord is gone to prepare for his Saints, he will then bring with him, Rev. 12.3.

The which will then be a new Heaven and a Taber∣••••cle of Covert, over all the Assemblies of Israel, Es. 4.5, 6. And then their Land will be like the Garden of Eden, Ezek. 36.35. And then it will be a new Earth, and so a new Heavens and new Earth, and the other part of the Earth will be renewed and made Fruitful, and the Darks and Clouds dispersed, thereby will appear a new Face put upon all things, is Rev. What is here hinted as to the Heavens and Earth, is at large proved in my Book, of the Figu∣rative Speeches.
