Believe the promises, close with them, act faith upon them, and you will believe the beast unto destruction, antichrist into the pit, and Magog to ruin. Believe that the enemies of Christ shall be made his footstool, that the nations shall be his inheritance, that he shall reign gloriously in beauty, that he shall smite in pieces the heads over divers nations;—live in the faith of these things, and as it will give you the sweetness of them before they come, so it will hasten their coming beyond the endeavours of thousands, yea, millions of armed men.
John Owen — The Advantage of the Kingdom of Christ in the Shaking of the Kingdoms of the World (sermon on Ezek. 17:24 preached before the House of Commons, 24 October 1651), in Works, ed. William H. Goold, vol. 8 (London and Edinburgh: Johnstone and Hunter, [1850–53]), p. 335
