Bible. Isaiah XXVI -- Sermons; Judgment Day -- Sermons; Sermons, English
power as the scorpions of the earth have, and the pain of them shall be as
the pain of a scorpion, when he have stung a man. And in these days men
shall seek death, and shall not find it, and shall desire to die, and
death shall fly from them.” Then he tells two woes that shall come upon
the earth, the one of the Antichrist, the other of the Turk, “who shall
run through the world and slay the third part of men, and shall lead their
great army of twenty times ten thousand horsemen of war, and there should
be two witnesses raised up, and power should be given them to prophesy so
many days clothed in sackcloth; and if any man should hurt them, fire
should proceed out of their mouth and devour their enemies; and when they
have fulfilled their testimonies, they should be slain by the beast that
came out of the bottomless pit, but they should rise again; and the spirit
of life coming up from God, should enter into them, and they should stand
upon their feet, and great fear fell upon them that seized them, and then
shall they ascend up to heaven in a cloud in the sight of their enemies.”
And at last, “The seventh angel shall blow his trumpet, and the dead shall
rise, and every man shall receive according to his works.” This he does
till he comes to the twelfth chapter, then he tells him, “The fights of
the dragon with the woman, and her seed that kept the commands of her God,
and kept the testimony of Jesus Christ.” Then he tells him, “the two
empires of the two beasts, Antichrist and the Turk, and the manner of
every one of them.” Then he tells, “The noble company of the Lamb that
stands in mount Zion, even the hundred and forty and four thousand, having
their Father’s name written on their fore-heads; and how he heard a voice
from heaven, like the sound of many waters, and as the sound of a great
thunder; and he heard the noise of harpers harping with their harps; they
sung, as it were, a new song before the throne, and no man could learn
that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were brought
from the earth.” He tells what they were, saying, “These are they which
were not defiled with women, for they are virgins; these follow the Lamb
wherever he goes, and these were redeemed from among men, being the first
fruits to God, and to the Lamb: and in their mouth was found no guile; for
they are without spot before the throne of God.” Then he tells, “That
another angel flew in the midst of heaven, with the everlasting Gospel to
preach unto them which dwell on the earth;” and that is the same Gospel
which I preach unto you, even this, “Fear God, and give glory to him, for
the hour of judgment is come; and worship him that made the heavens and
the earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.” Then he tells, “that
another angel cried, It is fallen, it is fallen, Babylon that great city,
she made all the nations to drink of the wine of her fornication. Ay,
Rome, thou shalt be taken and burnt in a furnice of fire, and a mill-stone
