The Christian's Troubles and Deliverance By God

Thomas Mockett (or Mocket) (1602-1670), was a Reformed preacher of the Gospel, and scholarly puritan divine during the era of Westminster. Mockett explains the twofold instance of Abraham’s trouble and deliverance by God. He shows through the historical narrative of Abraham’s testing, that God does bring his people into trouble, and will deliver them. He shows that such afflictions and trials are light and short, momentary in the great scheme of redemption and our salvation; and that they are a means by which Christians are made fit for mercy. Mockett demonstrates the true reality that God will rescue his people from such troubles, in his time and providence, and shows why he rescues them: to vindicate his people from their enemies, and to manifest his glorious attributes of knowledge, power, truth, faithfulness, and goodness.
