divided the land of Canaan in the 50. Jubilee from the Creation which was 2500. years that is 50. times 50. 2. Again saith he when the Jews returned from Babylon after 70. years Captivity it was the 70. Jubilee which was 3500. years that is 20. times 50. or 10. hundreds Again concerning the New Testament times saith he as aptly again in breif the seventh Seal and the seventh Trumpet of that seventh Seal and the seventh Vial falling under that seventh Trumpet brings us to the seventh Millenary or great Sabbatisme of the Saints with Christ in the thousand years as 't is called Heb. 4.9 Again secondly more particularly when Nebuchadnezzar had obtained the Monarchy of Babylon then in a dream is presented to him the Image of four Mettals setting forth the four Kingdoms or Monarchies whereof he was the first the head of gold Dan. 2. after Daniel Chap. 7. hath a Vision of four Beasts signifying the same Kingdoms succeeding each other But the Babylonian Monarchy of gold about 70. years after ended in the death of Belshazzar and Cyrus his taking of Babylon when began the Persian Monarchy of the silver Armes and Breast about the 3390th year of the world according to Helvicus which continued 230. years to the year 3620. Whereupon begun the Grecian Monarchy upon the speedy conquest of Alexander the Great which held according to the said Author 280. years reaching to the year of the world 3900 when began the Roman of the Iron Legs with Feet and Toes of Iron and Clay which last denoted the state thereof in the Popes time which Roman Empire began about 47. years before Christs birth who was born saith the same Author the 3947. year of the world But thirdly From Christs Nativity the account is more certain 1. The Dragons casting down when Constantine the Great set up the Christian Religion in the room of Heathenish Idolatry in the Roman Empire about the year of Christ 312. or 320. as some conceive and from thence to the beginning of the date of the Beast Vide Excid Antichrist whilest the Barbarous Nations broke in pieces the Western Empire about 80. years or more when soon after the beginning of the fourth Century it is conceived the twofold Beasts 42. mouths Rev. 13. began together with the 10. Crowned Horns at one hour Rev. 17. both in the Western Empire But in the East about the 600. year of Christ the Saracens pushed at the Roman Empire in the East as was foretold Dan. 11.40 called there the King of the South And about the year 1300. the King of the North the Turk overflowed all with his multitudes and though Edom Moab and Ammon escaped in Arabia Petrea being a great shelter to the Jews v. 41. as Mr. Mede observes yet though Egypt long by the Mamalacks held out they were at last subdued and at his steps as ver 42 43. about the year of Christ 1517. and that only remains to the Turk to hear tidings to trouble him out of the East probably from the Jews seeking to get their own Country and out of the North which happily may be of the Israelites from Assyria lying North of Judea upon the like design whom in rage the Turk will go to resist in the glorious holy mountain but he shall certainly come to his end and none shall help him ver 44 45. to be executed about the sounding of the seventh trumpet Rev. 11.15 But as for the Pope's 42. months the same time with the Womans time times and half a time in her wilderness condition and with the two witnesses Rev. 11. their 1260. days of years their beginning with his is reckoned about the 406. year of Christ or 110. as some conceive In his viz. the Popes or Beasts said date there are considerable 1. His rise 2. His reign 3. His ruin 1. His rise to the great darkness of Popery towards the 11. Century till the Berengarians and Waldenses discovered him above 600. years 2. His reign whilst he prevailed in his Wars and Massacres against the Waldensian Germane and French Churches above 400. years more 3. The time of his ruin since he hath begun to fall by the hand of God according to his word and though he hath been killing the witnesses for considerable time successively yet at last by killing the finishing witnesses after 3. days of years and an half they rising his great ruin comes on eminently to be finished at the pouring out of the vial of the seventh Angel Whereupon ensueth the glorious Kingdom of Christ reigning eminently with his Saints on earth the thousand years The PREFACE Containing many instances whereby it hath appeared how backward many if not the most of Gods people have been to beleive the accomplishment of the great things that have been promised by God and for long time beleived and expected by his people till near the time of their accomplishment all which notwithstand God hath fulfilled both in the Old and New Testament as is still likely so to be in the great things remaining hereafter to done for the true invisible Church till the mystery of God shall be finished With an intimation how wily and watchful Satan hath been is and it may be expected in these things remaining he will still be more so in opposing and perverting the Doctrine of Christs Reign approaching as knowing that thereby his own Dominion will be utterly cast down THE PREFACE To my late well known and well approved Friends and Brethren B. D. F. K. N. S. T. A. P. I. O. C. increase of faith truth and consolation from him that sits upon the throne from the Lamb that was slain and from the seven spirits before the throne Amen My well beloved Brethren in the Lord IT hath all along seemed remarkable that in the great Revolutions of Divine Providence when great things have been drawing on to be acted for the good of Gods Church though they have been foretold and promised yet at the time of their accomplishment they have been usually by many of God people little expected if not gainsay'd and opposed by most When the 430. years preceding Israels return out of Egypt which God had foreshewed to Abraham were towards their expiration the Israelites would not take notice that God would by the hand of Moses deliver them and even when the time was almost fully come that God should deliver them out of that Egyptian bondage so long as Pharaoh was able to resist they were frequently out of heart and complained against Moses and Aaron and yet upon the self same day from the promise to Abraham wherein the said 430. years were expired the Children of Israel were actually delivered Exod. 12.41 And after that all the while they were in the Wilderness how often upon how many occasions did the most of them turn back in their hearts as the Psalmist speaketh into Egypt and by their renewed rebellion so provoked God that he sware in his wrath against that generation that they
kind of studies which afterwards they grosly abused And Moses by means of Pharaohs daughter was afterwards trained up in all the learning of the Egyptians But when God used the Ministry of Moses and Aaron to bring his people out of that bondage he set up an instituted Church and as he wrote the tables of the Law himself So he directed Moses in writing his five Books for the benefit of his Church Yet doubtless that excellent faculty of writing hath been likewise much after that time abused by Satan and evil men likewise to eclipse truth and promote errors amongst all Heathen people For that as God had by that means set down the sum of his true Religion for that generation of the children of the godly Patriarchs and Fathers and after forty years made their posterity a famous Nation and people and by degrees were formed into a glorious state and Kingdom in the end of Davids and begin●ing of Solomons reign So Satan had all along an apparent design to raise huge Mountains of tyranny in the world to serve his own purposes in his wicked Dominion thereby to promote Atheism and Idolatry and what ever was evil and to overpower oppress and subdue if it were possible Gods Church and professed people and so far as their sins gave advantage from time to time they did so by the just hand of Gods providence most wisely and powerfully steering and ordering all the affairs of the world to his own glory and the fulfilling of his own holy pleasure when Satan and evil men least intend it making them in such cases like refiners to his people to cleanse them from their dross and though several Infidel and Idolatrous Nations afflicted and oppressed Israel soon after Moses and Joshua's time as in the Book of Judges and the following stories in Scripture may appear many times until Davids victorious and Solomons flourishing Kingdom which in the next succession Satan by his engins of Idolatry and wickedness soon found a way to divide to make way for his own rule in the world and upon the ten tribes revolting got the greatest part even of Israel it self to turn to his side and promote his design for the most part Helvic till at the last the height of their sins and the fulness of their iniquity delivered them up into the hands of their Assyrian conquerours under which captivity they have lain above 2400 years and still by the like means and actings Satan afterward raised a greater mountain of opposition against Gods Church when advantage against them might be obtained and Judahs sin was likewise ripe so that the Assyrian rod that scourged Israel before being burnt in the Babylonian furnace these also might be cast and fashioned that head of gold the Babylonian Monarchy which by its massie weight meeting together with Judahs sins written with a pen of Iron and with the point of a Diamond might grind that people almost to powder wherein Satans designs seemed to attain their end But now for a remedy for this God reveals by Daniel as was fore-shewed that though Satan at the present seemed wholly to have wone the victory yet he should not always wear it but that first he would break in peices that head of gold by a meaner mettle and so make use of the succeeding breasts and arms of silver viz. the Medes and Persians and that not onely to destroy the said golden head but also as he promised graciously by his Prophet concerning Cyrus whom he therefore stiled his Shepheard Isa 44.28 to reduce his people in a wonderful manner again to Jerusalem and rebuild by a strange munificence and assistance his Temple there and though for their crying sins they were afterward in the two following Monarchies of Brass and Iron namely the Grecian and Roman long and soar afflicted they were also at length after the Promises of the Messiah were fully compleated by the Iron legs and thighs of the most terrible Roman power wholly made desolate upon their rejection and crucifying the Lord of life and glory the true King of Israel as Nathaniel had acknowledged him Joh. 1. But when diverse heads of that monstrous Roman Beast explained to Daniel Chap. 7. but more to St. John Rev. 17. had successively passed their seasons and when he that letted 2 Thes 2.7 was taken out of the way Satan then found advantage to erect another and worse then the former Babel namely That which is the third Babel to wit the Mystical under the great Antichrist the Pope wherein Satans design by winding that proud cruel and wicked Tyrant cunningly into his own seat and authority by hypocritical pretences to make that foul beast to defile and poyson the waters of life and by strong and strange delusions so to hinder and abolish both the truth and power of Christs new constituted Religion in the world as far as he could reach wherein his evil design hath likewise greatly prevailed for above twelve hundred years past But for help and remedy against this mystical Babel also Christ aforehand shewed unto his beloved Disciple John and by him to his Churches successively the utmost period of his continuance and manner of his now approaching ruine as of the Dragons before and that the said Beast likewise when the term of his Kingnom was out must with it go into perdition and be cast into a Lake of Fire and Brimstone denoting the perpetual ruine of all Antichristian Tyranny and an utter end of all wicked dominion being the last and lowest parts of the said Image to wit the feet and toes according to the interpretation given to Daniel Chap. 2. and at whose destruction the mystery of God should be finished in the world as the expression of the Spirit of Christ is Rev. 10.17 and Dan. 12.7 when the whole of what was revealed to St. John concerning the Beasts rise and ruine as was before noted should all in such ways as he hath set down be accomplished viz. by the prophecyings of the two sack-cloth witnesses and the pouring out of the seven last plagues upon all the Beasts worldly excellency as Rev. 11 and 15 16. Chap. So that then the Kingdoms of the world shall be the Kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ and be given to the Saints of the most high as before Dan. 7. Rev. 11.15 So that as all the Devils designes and Gods had run counter before so by Christ these have all along been so managed that at length the usurped Dominion of Satan will be utterly subverted and the decreed Monarchy of Jesus Christ must be compleated in this world under or after the seventh Trumpet as a step to his eternal perfection of glory and happiness with his whole mystical body the true Church in the Kingdom of his father which as mediatour he will resign up to him at the end as St. Paul teacheth 1 Cor. 15.4 Now as by the miracles of Moses the first of Christs Chronologers the Egyptian Magicians were
