46. PROPOSITION THE FOURTH

The Israelitish and Jewish Church

IN order that the states of this Church may be thoroughly laid open and distinctly shown, it is of importance that we survey them in the following order:

I. The first State of this Church was the Appearing of the Lord Jehovih, also the Call and Covenanting; and then was its Rise and Morning. II. The second State of this Church was Instruction, and eventually Introduction into the Land of Canaan; and then was its Progression into light and Day. III. The third State of this Church was the Turning aside from true representative Worship into Idolatry, and then was its Vastation or Evening. IV. The fourth State of this Church was the Profanation of holy things; and then was its Consummation or Night. V. Before this State, and after it, a Promise was made of the Coming of the Lord Jehovih into the world, and respecting a new Church in which justice and judgment should reign. VI. The fifth State of this Church was the Separation of the good from the evil, and then Judgment upon those who were from it: but this was in the spiritual world. VII. Something respecting the Heaven and Hell from that nation.
