Zechariah2:12

Verſe 12. And the Lord ſhall inherit Iudah his portion] Or his encloſure, his ſeverall, divided from the reſt of the world by a wonderfull ſeparation, as the Hebrew word ſignifieth Exod. 33.16. And though there were ſome interruption in ſhewing favour for a time: yet was there no imerciſion, and utter breach of covenant: nor is to this time, as the Apoſtle ſheweth Rom. 11.28, 29. About the time when the Turkiſh tyranny ſhall have laſted 350. yeeres (ſaith my former Authour out of Dan. 7.25. and 12.7, 11. Rev. 9.15.) the Jews ſhall repaire toward their own countrey Eſay 11.15, 16. and 51.10, 11. Ier. 3.18. Hoſ. 1.11. where they ſhall have a great conflict with the Turk Ezech. 38. and be in great diſtreſſe for a time Dan. 12.1. but at length prevaile, to the utter ruine of the Grand Signior himſelf, and the overthrow of his Army; perhaps not far from the ſea of Gennezaret, otherwiſe called the lake of Tiberias Ezek. 39.11. After which they ſhall dwell in their own countrey Ier. 3.18. and 23.8. Ezech. 37.21, 22. Am. 9.14, 15. They ſhall inhabit all the parts of the land as before Obad 15.19, 20. Ier. 31.38, 39, 40. Eſay 27.12. and 65.10. The land ſhall be more fertile then ever it was Ezech. 35. Hoſ. 2 21, 22. Ioel 3.18. Am. 9.13. Zach. 14.10. The countrey more populous then before Eſay 49.19, 20, 21. Ezech. 34.31. and 36.37, 38. There ſhall be no ſeparation of the ten tribes from the other two: but all make one entire kingdome Ezech. 37.22, 24. Hoſ. 1.11. and a moſt flouriſhing Commonwealth Dan. 7.27. together with a Church moſt glorious, both for outward beauty Zech. 14.6, 7. Eſay 60.20. and 62.1, 2, 3. and inward purity in doctrine Ezech. 37.23. Zacb. 13.2, 3. in diſcipline, all prophane purged out Ioel. 3.17. Zach. 14.8. abundance of ſpirituall graces Eſay 25.6. &c. ſafety Zach. 10.12. and 14.11. proſperity Eſa. 25.8. and 51.13. and ſtability Eſay 26.1. and 33.16. Ier. 30.20. &c. perpetuity Eſay 60.21. Ioel. 3.20.
