Tillam An Exposition of the eleventh Chapter of the Revelation THe Lord by a special Providence guiding me to a People daily exercised in reading his Word and opening the the same in order now having before them the eleventh Chapter of the Revelation they desired my help in Expounding this Mysterious piece which sudden and unexpected motion did somewhat surprize me as knowing that it hath been accounted one of the hardest knots in the revealed will of God and withall considering how various the Opinions of Writers are upon the subject matter thereof and how little satisfaction I had ever received from any of them I therefore intended to speak a word or two from the two first verses and to discover my ignorance of the great Mystery of the Witnesses by passing it over in silence But while I was reading the Chapter I was most sweetly warmed by a secret heavenly heat quickning my spirit which was as it were transported by this soft gale of life and light and even constrained to declare this which with full and cleer evidence was communicated to me which also making some notable impression upon the spirits of the most judicious hearers they importuned me to give it them in writing at whose request I set to the work and in the review of these impressions upon my heart comparing them with such Ecclesiastical Histories as till then were unknown to me I found such harmony so sweet consent in Time Place Person every thing that hath left no place in my spirit for any further disputes reasonings or objections against the truth of these teachings And the Lord so open the Readers understanding that he also may receive the like full and sweet satisfaction in this Divine Mystery and so may obtain the blessing promised to such as read Rev. 1.3 hear and obey the words of this Prophesie The eleventh Chapter of the Revelation THe great God cals it a Revelation

their heads they shall obtain joy and gladness and sorrow and sighing shall flee away And thus will he perform the second more glorious work upon their souls for a through conversion And now I do heartily desire for the confirmation of Saints and for the confutation of such as deny the glorious personal Reign of Christ that they will seriously consider and weigh those cleer proofs of Scripture that do so fully establish this truth viz. That when the Jews shall be thus wonderfully converted Jer. 33.14 15 16. Joel 3.1 2. even then and not before shall this King of glory take to himself his great power and Reign what can be more plain and clear then this In those days and at that time see those other Scriptures now will this glorious Mystery be fulfilled which hath been so largely held forth by all the Prophets Rev. 10.6 7. the seventh Angel is now sounding who swears that time shall no longer be delayed but the Lord Jesus that high and mighty one shall gird his sword upon his thigh and wonderfully bring in this his ancient people to whom shall all Saints be joyned with transcendent glory Wilt thou admit such a one as I into this glory Lord 4. To Babel burning an eternal fall SIons restauration must be Babels confusion the same blessed day that brings forth Jerusalems safety and felicity will also produce Romes ruine and everlasting misery I do not undertake which of these shall precede whether the Jews Call or Romes Fall I believe they will neither of them be long a doing it may be as sudden as our change shall be Zeph. 1.18 Joel 3.4 he will certainly make a speedy riddance swiftly and speedily will he return Romes recompence upon the accursed heads of all her children But that which the word of truth is full and clear in is that Rome Antichrist and all their adherents Rev. 14.8.16.17 c. 17 1●.18.2 c. Jer. 51.8 c. shall certainly be destroyed and that I may prosecute my design or rather the design of the Spirit of God it is plain that Antichrist and Rome shall be destroyed even then and not before the Lord Jesus shall come in Person 2 Thes 2.8 he is now consuming him with the Spirit of his mouth but he shall give up the ghost at the brightness of his coming But since this is the day of Antichrist's consumption in which we live it behoves all true hearted Saints diligently to consider what the will and minde of the Lord is concerning us how he would have us be acted in order to the accomplishment of this great design First we must joyn in prayer with our fellow brethren under the Altar Rev. 6.9 10. and give the holy One of Israel no rest till Babylon be consumed and Jerusalem be made a praise in the Earth And secondly we must set hand and heart purse and person to the work even the great work the strange Act that he is doing for and by his Saints yea let every one that is the redeemed of the Lord say I will have a hand in her destruction Jer. 51.1.2 c. Psal 137. ● 9 yea blessed yea happy shall he be that hath his hands deepest dyed in the blood of her children 5. The world combined hath a fatal blow THis is the fifth remarkable change that will help to celebrate the triumphs of the glorious day for as the long enthralled Jews and Israelites are entred into their ancient Land and have newly got Possession of the present Jerusalem their potent Enemies Turk Pope c who have long detained them in a miserable slavery shal raise huge Armies to pursue them Dan. 11.45 and shal plant their Tabernacles in the glorious holy mountain see this fully Ezek. 38.4 5 6 9.15 16. and Chap. 39.6 And shall begirt their new-obtained City Z●ch 14.2 which they shall speedily storm and take and reduce these most miserable distressed people into such dreadful calamities Dan. 12.1 Z●ch 12.10 11. as the like was never heard of since there was a Nation even to that same time but in the midst of these sad straights fearful horror and dismal darkness when nothing but black despair or a second more miserable slavery then ever is before them the great Prince of the Kings of the Earth shall appear in some wonderful manner to them Dan. 12.1 and shal go forth and fight against those Nations and put such terror into their hearts and such courage into the hearts of his unarmed people Isa 14.2 that they shall take them captives whose Captives they were and they shall rule over their oppressors 6. Satan confined to his den below HIs present condition is a Princely Rule in the ayr and in the hearts of the children of disobedience but in these Halcyon days will that blessed voyce be heard amongst the Saints Now is come salvation and strength Rev. 12.10 20.1 and the Kingdom of our God and the power of his Christ for the accuser of our brethren is cast down For the Angel shall binde and shut him up in the bottomless Pit to which he shall be confined for a thousand years during which restraint he shall not be able no not to tempt his own vassals but they shall willingly serve the Saints for the preservation of their lives till the thousand years be fulfilled Vers 3. And after that he must he loosed a little season Of which I shall speak in its place Some have fancyed that Satan hath been already bound and the thousand years are already expired but without any shadow of truth since there hath not been the least intermission of Satans rage and fury since the Book of the Revelation was written For what with the gross Idolatry of Pagans obstinate blindness of the Jews wonderful defection of Turks strange Errors Sects and Heresies of Christians abominable Superstition Idolatry Ignorance and all kinde of wickedness with bloudy persecution of Saints by Antichrist Alstedius Dr. Hakewill Apol. pag. 476. which things cannot possibly stand with the confinement of Satan and consequently this Prophesie is yet unfulfilled and the time of the binding up of this Bandog will be the glorious triumphant state of Saints when they shall be marryed to Christ the universal Monarch of this great Universe 7. The whole Creation finds a full Release FOr now this second Adam shall compleat his work Rom. 8.19 and reduce the whole frame of Nature to its primitive purity and perfection which by the sin of the first Adam hath been so long subjected to vanity and corruption this is that great Deliverer and this time of his personal Reign wil be the blessed state as of the redemption of our bodies from sin Acts 3.21 sorrow corruption so of the restitution of all things the Elements and all that are produced by them to that goodness wherein they were first created how often have we like Parrots prated
