" H« who amwrrt a matter nEKORE he hear«'it, it ii folly and SHAME UDtu him.' — ProTcrbi xviii. 13. * pE NEW EARTH, OR WORLD TO COME. |Act« iii. 20, 21. And lie ilmll spiid Jt>Hu> Chriat, wlio before wu preach'd* unto yo«. __ J the hnavnn must receive until the timfK of restitution of nil things, which Oodlutll •poken by the mouth of nil his holy prophets since the world began. Thibr word* were spoken by the Apostle Peter, iiftcr the miracle had been pcrrorm'd upon the lame man at the beautiful gniK cf the temple, '* and as tlio people ran logethor to are iho man that was licnl'd. Peter lodk this opportunity to exhort ihem to repent. So that when the TIMBS of refreshing xhall come from the presence of th« Lord, they might be sav'd." Then comes in tho Text. "And he shall send Jesus Christ who bfforo was prrnch'd unto you : Whom ihe huaven must receive until the TIMK8 of RESTITUTION of nil things, which God hnth spoken by Ihe mouth of all bia hoi/ prophets since the world began." The »ime could be prov'd from this Terse, But I will content myself at present by proving that this Earth will be restor'd ; and brought back to its Krivn state at the Second Coming of Christ. And thnt the sainti will dwell for ever upon the new Earth. And in proving this 1 will divide the aubjeet into the following HEADS. Int. VVhat are we to understand by restoring 1 3nil Mow wna the earth mnde at the br^inning? 3rd> Mow hos the earth been cursM, and made uneven ? 4tll< How will the earth be retitorM, at t.ie Second Coming of Christ t 1st. Firs: then 1 am to prove what is meont by the word restore. This you will prove by turning to Matthew, xii. Vi. Then unid he to the man, stretch forth thy hand. And he stretch'd it forth ; and it was RESTOR'D whole, like ns the other. This prpves that tlio word rcutoro, means to bring back to its perfect state. No doubt the man's hand wiit once good and sound, but when it bcrnme wither'd, the Saviour restor'd it, or made it gocid as it was before. Likewise. Zueheus said, see Luke xix. 8. If I have taken any thing from nny man by fnlso accusation 1 RE- STORK him fourfold So it oppeors from these pasMngos that to restore, means to make good : and not to destroy. Having prov'd this first proposition, ( proceed, 9ndly. To show how this earth was form'd at the beginning. And to prove this, it will be necessary to look nt Genesis, i. 1. In the beginning God created the Heaven and the Enrth. And the enrth wna without form, nnd void; nod darkness was upon the foce of the deop. And the Spirit of God mov'd upon the face of Ihe waters. Aiid God soid, Let there be light : and there wos light. And God saw the llfht, that it Wfis good : nnd God divided the light from the dnrkness. And God cnli'd the light Day, ond the duikness he cali'd night. And the evening and the morning were the firit day. f\ And (»od snid, Let there he a firmament in the MIDST of the waters, and let it DIVIDE the watets FROM the wnter*. And God mnde the firmament, and DIVIDED iho waters which were UNDER th« firmament FROM the waters which were A ROVE the firmnmcnt : nnd it was so. * * ^"'^ "''*'• render will ol>gf rve, timt mime wordu ending with ptli, nnd e«J. are iitit>reviRied. — • JL El'H at the end of word* Hhniild uniind like S, for exiiin|iln. 1.

That will ba a da|i|rhlful country, one eternal sunshine, no more clouds, and !em« peata. Th-* people likewise, will alt an«ak one hmguage. See Zephaniak, iii. 0th. For than will I luro to tha people a PURE languagr. The Hebrew language, is the first ihai waa spoken upon the earth. Tha name of llabraw, eamo from a man oall'd EOEU. See Uen. x. 24, or his name is Hebar in the Douay Bible. When the lower nf Babel was buiil, Heber did not consent to it, and iherrlbre his family retain'd their rornwf language, which for distinction' aaka it eali'd tha Hebrew. So in Iha rcsiiluiion, they will all speak one language t likewise when Iha realltulion takaa place there will be no inland seas. Sea Rev. ixi. 1. And I saw a new beavaa and a new EARTH : for the first heaven and tha first earth wera pas't away x and there waa no mora SEA. ^ That is, the water will laka its former position, and divide and goto the two polaa, aa it waa ia the baginoiog, and tha dry lai.4 will ba in the centre, aa it waa at tk« firsi. Tha tiM of life will ba there again In the midsl of Paradise. See Rev. II., T. Td him who overcomea will I give to EAT of the tree of life, which ^ in iho Midst of iho Paradisa of God. Likewise the River will again, go out from the throne. See lh« MM. chapter 1st verae. He show'd me a PURE river of WATER of life. CLEAR as crystal, proceeding oui of iho throne of Gnd and of the Lamb. In the MIDST of the street of it, and on either sido of the River, was there the TREE of lifa, &e. Some may ask ma, — Do you believe this is a literal tree 1 I answer, I do i for it waa i literal tree in iha firat place, and I believe it will be a literal tree again. If it ia not r. literal tree, I would like to know how it could be on either side of the river, and liow could the leaves heal the nations. And it is' aviJent that the city will ba thara. See tha ixi. chapter, and second verse. I John saw 6",» holy city, New Jerusalem, coming DOWN FROM God OUT of heaven. Some aay that they are to go up to heaven ; then if ihey do, they will miss Ihe new Jerusalem, because that is to como down here. Some will ask me, — Do you think this is a literal city t I anawar, cer- tainly I do, for Ihe next verse says, that the tabernacle of God is with men. And tha 0th verse says.

" Thrrc » neither Jew nor (Jreek, there w neitlier boiid nor free, there in neither innle nor ftinnle : for ye are nil one hi Christ Jesus." " And if ye be Christ's, then nre ye Abrnhnin's seed, nnd heirs nccording to the proinu «>." My intentioTi is to show from these verses, thnt tlie notion ; that the Jews as a nation, will hqiid again Jorusaiem before tliu rusurrcctioii, is without fbundation in the word of God. Paul has heen showing in tliis chapter, liow foolisli it is for men to begin in the ■pirit, and then to strive to be made perfect by tiio law of Moses. And 1 may say it is the case with many, at the present day. Tiiey will first show, that the Jews are wrong, and how tiiey have rejected Christ. And then before they get through, they will take all the precious promises which belong to all the sainta ; and place them on the UNbelieving Jews. I will therefore show in this discourse, that timse promises will never be enjnyM till after the resurrection. And in doing this, 1 will divide the subject into the foU lowing HEADS. First, Show, the promise (u Abraham. .-'^ *2ndly. Show, toho arc the seed ofAltraiatn. 3rd/i/. Show, the size of the hind irhirn ims promts' d to Abraham. Mhly. Show, that thcij luire never yet hud the land. btUy. Shoiv, when they will get the land — namely, at the resurrection. First then, I am to show the promise to ABraham. .You will find this promise spJrtcen of in the xiii. chapter of Genesis, and at the 141th verse. " And the.LonI said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him. Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southHw^rd, and eastward, and westward :" " For all the LAND which thou seest, to thee will I gire it, and to thy SEED forever." This shows plainly that the land was promis'd to Abram, and his SEED. ^ 1 wish the reader to observe, that there are two promises, one is made tf. Abram's Seed, see Gen. xv 18. But the promise which I am tracing, is the one made tit Abram AND his Seed. I will next turn to the xvii. chapter and 7th verse. " And I will establish my covenant between me and thee, and thy SEED after thee, in their generations, for an EVEHIasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy SEED after thee." " And I will give unto thee, and to thy SEED after thee, the LAND wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an EVERlasting possession j and I will be their God." This shows a plain promise. i' I will next look at the xxiv. chapter 7th verse. " The Lord God of heaven, whith took rae from my father's house, and fiom the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and which SWARE unto me, saying, Unto thy SEED will I give thi« LAND ;" This shows that the promise was not only given, but SWORN'to. But again, look at the xxvi. chapter and 2nd verse, and you will find where the Lord appear" I unto ISAAC, and said, " Go not down into Egypt j dweH in the tend which 1 shaP *c\\ thee of." ^'^ ■ii^^ig 14 «na "± ti; SB;j\}"7';vm'i|!r'" '- -'"' "'-. end will LleM ,|.ee . f o vv AKb unto Auralmm thy father •" perfurnj the OATH And God said unto him, f am God a l ' . .

It is plain from this verse, tiiat the piomioe could not be fulfill'd be- fore Christ 8 cominp;. Hut again, look at »he next chapter, and at the 22nd verse, J aul says, "For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bond maidt the iither by a fcee Woman." " But be who was of the bond woman was boin aftcf the flesh ; but be of the free woman was by promise." " Which thing's ai'e an allegory : for these are the two dovenahfs >"— (What twa covenants 1 I answer, the two covenants, or promises, which I spoke of in the for* part of this discourse,)—" the one from the mount Sinai, which Renders to bondaire* which IS Agar. * " For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers to Jerusalem which NOW 18, and is in bondage with her children," " Qut Jerusalem which is ABOVE is free, which is the mother of us all." " Nevertheless, what saith the scripture 1 Cast oot the bond woman and her son j for the son of the bond woman shall not be heir with the son olthe free woman." " So then, brethren, we are not children of the bond woman, but of the free/' That is, we are not children of old Jerusalem, but of the NEW, I wish the reader to renoember what I am proving in this ii»rt of the subject— 1 am proving, that all the children of God, are heirs to this land, which was promis'd to Abraham, Next 1 will turn to Rom. ii. chapter, and 28th verse. " For he is not a Jew, who is one outwardly ; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh :" ^ " But he is a Jew, who is one INwardly j and circumcision is that of the HEART, in the spirit, and not in the letter ; whose praise is not of men, but of God." This shows plainly, that the circumcision, or Jew; has no advantage of the Gen- tile — Further, look at the viii. chapter, and 14th verae, " For as many a» are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." " For ye have not receiv'd the spirit of bondagie again to fear ; but ye have re* ceiv'd the Spirit of ADOPTION, whereby ye cry, Abba, Father." " Tite Spirit itsslf bears witness with our spirit, that we are tfie childem of God :** " And if children, THEN heirs ; heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ ;"— — Do you not see dear reader, that if we are children of G(k1, and heirs wi:h Christ, that when Christ comes we shall come into possession of thi« estate. Likewise look at the next chapter and 6th verse. " Not as though the word of God bath taken none effect. For they are not ALL Israel, who are of Israel :" " Neither, becaus*- they are the seed of Abraham, are they all ehildien : but. IN Isaac shall thy seed be call'd i" "That is. They wbo art the children of the flesh, these are NOT the children of God : bi't the children of the promise are counted for the seed," You see from these verses, that Paul shows that there is no advantage unless they belong to Chriat. But it is more plain in the next chapter and 12ih verse. " For there is NO difference between the Jew and the Greek : for the same LoM over z:A is rich unto all who call upon liitn." I suppose the man who holds to the Jews return, would contradict Pan! in this yewe, and say .—there IS a difference, between t he Jew ami the Greek. However, 1 shall bold with PauV. and say, " that there k NO difference." But say you, Uise km at »t»e next chapter, and you wiH find how that will upset all you have aakW vl I nn«wcr, I 16 l»ut life f,„,„ ,1,0 ,|ea,| ?" ^ °' ""- """'''• ^* ''« «'»»" tl'o receiving of them bL ' .r;\tV^oncl.e;" '"" '^ "'"^' '^° '"'"I> '^ al.o ,K.,y : and if the root be holy .o | thi'^trtSr. "^*''" '"" ''-^'- = ^- i^ '"ou boast, thou be„..eat not the „.t but ma,, of their en-n.. i,. supp;,; ^l^,/ ^i;^:!::^;'; -'-ing to convince the fit «ould be 8av'd, IP they would th.mv ulu h ' '."^'"'"'■'' ''"^'"' '''"t the Jews virl " ^r T"-' ^^'•'-- Heo t eT/Jx :f.er:.'^l'"'''^'*', '^''''« -•" »'e plain, a^ Were broken off; that 1 misi.t be grafted in - '"'" "•" ''"^ "'^"' '^"''« l»anche.

Certainly, words could not be more pointed.........And he further says, that if you apply the promise to tho Jews only,.. . .

" For they wlio say such things derlaro plainly that they seek a COUNTRY." "And truly, iftlicy had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had oj)portunity to have return'd :" •' Hut now they desire ii better COUNTRY, that is, an HEAVENLY: whore- fore Grjd is nut ashum'd to be call'd their God : for he hath prepar'd for tiiem a I wish the reader to remember what I am proving in this place I am proving that, Abruiiam, and his seed, have never yet receiv'd the land which was promised t"tliem. .And these verses which I last re id, prove plainly, that they have ALL «lied without receiving the promise, but they saw it afar off. And 1 would ask, how can this promise be fulfilld unless it isfulfill'd AFTER the resuirectionl This I will pmve in its proper place. But I will read a few more verses of this chapter before I close this part of the subject, see the two last verses: " And these all, having obtain'd a good report through faith, receiv'd NOT the Promise :" " God havi'ig provided some better thing for US, that THEY without US should NOT be made perfect." Paul is determin'd to have os understand, that they have not as yet receiv'd the promise. But he says, they have all DIED without it. This is a hard text for those who believe in the literal return of the Jews. For Paul has positively de- clared, that they have ALL died with the promise. They are buried on the land, there is the grave of Saiah, Abraham's wife, in the cave. See Gen. xxiii. chapter^ " and Abralium was buried in the same cave." See the xxv. chapter 8th verse, " and Isaiic was buried there." See chapter xxxv. and 29th verse, " and Jacob waa buried in the same cave, in the land of Canaan." See the L. chapter and 12th verse, "and likewise, Joseph would not allow his bones to be buried in any other place, but in the land of Canaan." See the same chapter and 25th verse, and likewise' see Heb, xi. 22nd verse, " he made them promise to carry his bones up with them." That is the land where most of the ptophets have been buried And here Paul says "they nil DIED in faith NOT having receiv'd the PROMISES." I ask in what faith did they die ?.. . .The answei- is plain ; the faith, that they would come up m the resurrection and possess the land, which the Lord has promis'd that they should have. Certainly if they have went down INto the GRAVE, not having re- ceiv'd the promise Then of course, they must come UP out of the GRAVE, in order to receive tlie land or else the promise cannot be fulflU'd. Well might Paul say, " For if they who are of the LAW be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of NONE effect :" See Rom. iv. 14. This biiugs me to the 5th and last proposition, to show ; when they will get the land.... . .Namely, at the resurrection. I will turn to Ezekiel the xxxvii. chapter, and begin at the first verse. " The hand oithe Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the Spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the vaHey which was full of BONES." •'And caus'd me to pass by them round about, and, behold, there were very many in the open valley ; and, lo, they were very dry."

If these words do not prove, that Christ is to have David's THRONE, then I ahould like to have any person tell me what they do mean. If irou can make one half uf a verse, literal, and the other half spintiial, then you run prove anvtbing. See tho 32nd vei-se. Vou believe he was great, and was tho .Si . of the Highest. Then what authority huve you to make the other half of the vor*i. mean something else. O how I am giiev'd, when I hear such handle made of ilic estnment. The Jews are more consistent than you are, for they believe that Chn will have the THRONE of David. But see what Peter says on this subject, ite Acts ii. 89. " Men and brcthen, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch L vid, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day." •• Therfoie, being a prophet, and knowinir that God had SVVORN with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his hAin, according to the FLESH, he w uld raise up CHRIST to SIT on his THRONE." If this does not p.ove that Christ is to have the thnnc of David, the i Peter has been terribly, mistaken. Away with your spiritualism, that would ni ike David's throne in a man's heart, or in the sky as some believe I O! what unbc ief there ii in the world. How many of the clergy of the present day, would think c f preaching as Peter has in this chapter. Dare you preach as Peter did, and say, hat Christ is to have the THRONE of David ! Dear reader, if you are a preache will you preach as Peter did and do not l)e asham'd to say, that Christ will have ue thron* of David ! I will cloM? this discourse by summing up in few words, what has been aid : First, I prov'd that there was a certain promise made to Abraham, of certain piece of land. 2Hdbf, 1 prov'd, that all the children of God will be heira to that promts And if you have read the argument you can judge who is right.

The first and most common one is found in Matthew xxir. 36. ** But of that dij and hour [knows no mnn, no not the angels of heaven, but my Father only." Answer, The Saviour in the same chapter 32 verse, tells of certain signs which will be a [token that we mny know when it is near, the same as we know when summer is near when Iwe see the young leaves put forth. And it cannot be, thnt the Saviour meant to contradict himself in one chapter, and after telling us we might ki;ow it was near, then turn rightabout I and tell us we were to know nothing about it. But again, in Mark xiii. 32, it says, the SON did not know. And will any man beliero [ that the Son will never know. Mind, it does not say he never will know.— But I will here prove that if the Father knows, then the Son will know. See John, chap. t. 20. " The Father loves the Son, and shows tiim ALL things that he himself doeth."'* This proves that the Son will know ; likewise man will know. See Rev. iii. 3, '■ if thou shalt not watch -thou sbalt not know the hour, &c." So it appears IF they do watch they will know. Again, see Matt. xxiv. 43 to 50, one man does not know, but the other does '- " he does not come unawares to both of those servants. 2Dd objection. Matt. xxiv. 34. " This generation shall not pass, &c." This does not mean the generation which was then standing, for they were to see no signs, see Maek viii. 12. " Verily I say unto you there shall no sign be given unto THIS generation."" — • So the objector must contradict the Saviour if he says it mp.int the generation who were then standing, — but it means the generation who shall see the signs which he spoke of,— this you will prove by looking at Luke xxi. 27. " And then shall THEY see the Son of nan, 6cc." mind it does not say YE shall see, but THEY shall see, that is those who shall we or have seen those signs, ice. 9rd objection, 1st Thess. T. i. " Thief in the night." AnswEK. See the two next verses, " ye brethren are not in darkness, that that day wiS come upon yon as a thief." 4th objection, Acts i. 7. " It is not for you to know the times and seasons, &:c." Answer. See the next terse. *' ye shall receive power after the Holy Ghost is come upon you, Sec." A/ew hard questions for those to ansu/er who do not believe that the time w to be knownt Daniel viii. 14 to 19 •i two thousand three hundred 2300 — L \ <^"y9- Time appointed x. 1, "■ time appointed was long :" How came Daniel to know that the time apppointed was long. Chap. xi. 27, " END shall be at THE time appointed."— •mt Not A time appointed — But THE time appointed. Chap. xii. 10, " the wicked shall not understand ; btit the wise SHALL understand. rise ai viit cuu Ox iiiusC atiys. So if any man says that the time is not in the Bible— then he must contradict Daniel.—* It is most absurd for any man who ever read a Bible to say that the time is not to be known. For the seven trumpets in Revelation would be sufficient to prove the time ; for if six of tbMe trumpets have sounded, of course k leaves but rae more t» so«nd.
