Context of ch 8. and by many other reasons in our Summary of Daniel p. 6 7. 2. Because the experience of that threefold Overturning of David's Kingdom Ezek. 21.26 27. until he come whose right it is and which God hath there promised to give him then are almost compleated by experimental fulfilling as we shewed Introduction pag. 9 10. which very probably will be fulfilled at the same period 3. It consists of two evident parts very admirably concurring with the joynt times of Daniel and the Revelation viz. Of the first part of 600 years from the Captivity of Babylon in the beginning of the fourth year of Jehojakim and the first of Nebuchadnezzar Anno Mundi 3398. about three years before 3400. which therefore will be out so much before Christs Birth at 4000. as Bishop Vsher Computes it when 37 years more ended Daniels Weeks from whence also are reckoned 1700 years of Revelation Prophesie to Christs said appearance at the Destruction of the last or Roman Monarchy Rev. 17.10 of both Ezekiels Gog and Magog at the same time ch 39.6 7 8. which two numbers make up the 2300. Dan. 8. of the latter number more afterwards 2. Again it is also manifest to be the measure of both the other mystical numbers in Dan. 9. and Dan. 12.12 in connexion with the Revelation Numbers reaching to the same period all being the dictates of the Eternal All-knowing All-working Lord the Spirit whose Epochaes being many hundred years distant yet exactly agree in the same Period the same glorious Divine evidence of Truth being carryed on by them all both of the Jews deliverance and the Enemies said Ruine at Christs appearance as was said 1. Of the 70 Weeks Dan. 9. or 490 years from the 20th of Artaxerxes Longiomanus Neh. 2.1 An. Mund. 3550. at the execution of the Decree for Building the City Jerusalem until the three years and an half ending Daniels last Week An Dom. 37. after Christs Birth in the middle of which last Week Christ hy his Death put an end to Transgression c. and by his Resurrection brought in everlasting Righteousness and at his Ascention triumphed gloriously over the spiritual Principalities and Powers Coll. 2.15 when also began the Kingdom of the Stone Dan. 2.44 for that 1666 years to his Descending again in that interim to break and consume the Dragon and the Beast until about the end of 1700 years from Christs Birth when it will become the Kingdom of the Mountain filling the whole Earth at Christs second comeing And 2. For that Divine Mark or Discovery of taking away Sacrifice ultimately given to Daniel by the same Lord the Spirit above 800 years before it came to pass when his 1335 years ch 12 12. should reach to the said blessed times which was eventually manifest by Gods Wonder-working Providence and Power about An. Dom. 365. against the provoking Abominations of Julian the Apostate Emperour who not only in opposition to Jesus Christ set up many Heathen Idolatries but incouraged the Jews to build their Temple for Sacrifice granting allowance for the same out of the publick Treasury But when they had layed Foundations for the Temple and multitudes came to see the Workmens proceedings as many Historians relate Gods wrath was manifest against them by Fire and Earthquakes and the like terrible appearances thereof killing many Workmen Amianus Marcel Socrat. Zozamen Theodoret c. with such as came to see the same burn'd their very Tools or melted them and cast out the very stones layed in the ground for Foundations occasioning Cyrill then Bishop there to say Now is fulfilled our Saviours Prediction One stone shall not be left upon another that shall not be thrown down c. From which time we read no more of the Jews publick Sacrificing and that time wonderfully fits the said Mark for 1335. being added to 365. make up likewise 1300. to the said blessed time c. Whereunto 4. We may annex those 45 years of the Jews last troublous times Dan. 12.1 from the 1290. years in v. 11. unto 1335. in v 12. when the blessed times begin the former said 365. years till Julian being added to them which so together make up as was said 1700 years from Christs Birth to his second comeing which we observed in our late Address to the Kings Majesty to be now a special Alarm to this World In these words Of the neer approach of whose said comeing I conceive the world of late years hath been sufficiently alarm'd by the Jews attempt in that season to seek their promised Land 45 years before that his second comeing as appears from Dan. 12.11 12. and as is very observable in that type thereof Joshua ch 14 7.10 in that so very apt decyphering of our Jesus now which whatever others think of it I have much pondered since in my heart from Gods former like mysterious proce dings when he is about to do great things in the world and of which I now understand an useful book is written c. 5. The Beasts Date of 42 moneths with the Sack-cloth Witnesses 1260. years and the Womans time times and half a time being all contemporaries now ready almost to expire as in Restit p. 57 58. p. 74 75. not long before the VVhores Burning Rev 18. which must precede the utter destruction of the man of Sin at Christs said appearance 2 Thes 2.8 at Gods sure number of 1666. counted as appears by his own Divine wisdom of Daniels said numbers and St. Pauls Doctrine from Christs ascending to his descending with Clouds about 20 years hence as before 6. The Turks day hour moneth and year viz. 396. years Rev. 9.11 being the sixth Trumpet or second VVoe beginning about An. Dom. 1300. or little after in the Ottaman Family whose said 396 years will be compleated about the same time as in Restit pag. 74. 7. The probable proceedings of the Vials under the said sixth Trumpet to prepare for the ruine of the Beast about the end of the sixth Vial when Ezekiels said Gog and Magog viz. Turk and Pope are like to perish neer in time together 8. The Table of the bad times Rev. 11. to verse 15. referring to both Revelation Schemes of the Civil and Ecclesiastical state of Rome as in our short Scheme of the whole Revelation is manifest for about 1700 years from Christs Birth or three years before c. 1. Of the Civil state to the Red Dragons casting down to the earth by Constantine the great about An. Dom. 320. and that other viz. the Christian Emperours for a short space Rev. 17.10 for about 100 years after and then the Inroades of the Barbarous Nations upon the VVestern Empire in the four first Trumpets breaking the Empire to prepare for the ten Kings to follow who should give their power to the Beast Rev. 17 1â— dissolving the Senate sacking and burning the City and plucking the last Emperour Augustulus as it is storyed out of his Throne which

He as the great God brings his rewards with him at his glorious appearance Rev. 22.12 They as the persons then brought to be rewarded which by their Resurrection become capable to receive all the happiness promised in that glorious state 2. Why he believeth the times thereof will be about 20 years hence from An. 76. or by loss of 4 years 80 in a latitude 1. Because all Prophesie until that time and state appears to be almost fulfilled 1. Daniels great Calender of the Jews Captivity and the Gentile four Monarchies of 2300 years will about that time be expired 2. The three Overturnings of Davids Kingdom until Christs be given to him Ezek. 21.26 27. appears almost fulfilled 3. The 600 years from the fourth of Jehojakim begun first of Nebuchadnezzar to Christs Birth at 4000 and from thence 1700 years of Revelation Prophesie to Christs second comeing as the two integral parts thereof clearly make up the 2300 years both which are many wayes proved 4. Both Daniels other Numbers of the 70 weeks Dan. 9. and the taking away Sacrifice ch 12.12 when from 365 of Christ Daniels â—335 should reach to the said blessed times and state of the Jews both which in connexion with Revelation Numbers end at the same period of Christs appearance with the said 2300 years Dan. 8. 5. The Jews seeking their Land 45 years before from 1290. Dan. 12.11 to the said 1335 of the blessed times of which a book was formerly remarkably written c. 6.

CHRIST'S Divine Revelation Key in the four last Chapters may aptly be Decyphered in these four Respects Viz. 1.
