An Appeal by the Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ · Title page – Preface

AN Appeal moſt Humble, YET Moſt Earneſtly by the Coming OF OUR Lord Jeſus Chriſt, AND Our Gathering together unto HIM, Even Adjuring the CONSIDERATION OF THE Moſt Contrary Minded, Who love HIS Appearing: Concerning the Scripture on due Compare, Speaking Expreſly, or Word for Word.

Of the Thouſand Years State of the Saints; The Dead Raiſed Firſt, and of The Living, The Remaining Chang'd in it.

And of the Wicked-Dead-Raiſed, the Gog Magog under it.

By T. B.

THE ADVERTISEMENT TO THE READER.

MY firſt Intention was only by way of Propoſal, concerning the Saints in the 1000 Years Kingdom of Chriſt; But finding Scripture-Evidence Riſing ſo high concerning the Wicked-Dead, the Gog Magog of the 1000 Years alſo Raiſed, but to a State of Death, and ſo call'd ſtill, The Dead. It Gave me the Boldneſs to Raiſe my Propoſal to an Appeal; My Aſſurance in Theſe Things is, that the Spirit by laying its words in one Scripture, to its words in other Scriptures, ſpeaks foreign Expreſly, or word for word of Theſe Things; ſo that the Ring of Truth concerning the Reſurrection Broken between, eſpecially, the Apoſtle Paul, and the Apocalyptic Apoſtle, by laying Them together, meets, and Ʋnites; which is the Greateſt Aſſurance that can be Given; Thus It is concerning the Saints; And thus It is concerning the Wicked Dead, the Gog Magog Raiſed to Condemnation.

Whoever would diſprove what I have Aſſerted, I expect, He ſhould not only perplex what I have ſaid, with Enſnaring Queſtions; For ſo Things moſt clear, moſt certain may be perplex'd, but either lay down by the ſame Scripture Contexture a contrary, or different Scheme, or at leaſt ſhew this Inconſiſtent with Scripture, or with it ſelf.
