spoiler or Serpent and the time we also see to be a time and times and halfe a time or a thousand two hundred and threescore dayes or as it is in chap. 11.2 3. called forty and two months which being accounted according to the Jews account thirty dayes for a month it amounts just unto three years and an half for a thousand two hundred and threescore dayes makes forty and two months and forty and two months makes just three years and a half so then the time of Jerusalems being trod under foot and of the wearing out of the Saints of the most high namely the remnant of the Womans seed which abode in Jerusalem and of the Womans abode in the Wilderness is just three years and a half and not a thousand two hundred and threescore years as Mr. Henden and some other expositers saith and further to prove that it is but three years and a half according to the litteral account both in Daniel and the Revelation and not so long a time as before mentioned I shall give a few reasons drawn from the Scriptures to prove it and the first is First Because the scripture saith that the seventh head which is the eighth and to go to perdition which is the man of sin or the Assyrian or vile person or the spoiler that when he cometh forth to raign that his time is but short that is he shall continue but for a short space as a seventh but is to be the eighth is the same that is to wear out the Saints of the most high and it shall be gien into his hands for a time and times and the dividing of time read Revel 17.10 11 12 13. compared with Dan. 7.23 24 25 26 27. so that the seventh head is to have but a short space or time to raign and also the eighth spoken by St. John is to continue but a short space even a Time and Times and half a Time spoken of by Daniel which is just three years and a half as I before in this Treatise have proved by shewing what is to be understood by TIME and TIMES and half a TIME comparing the word TIME and TIMES with the seven TIMES which was the seven years of Nebuchadnezzars being cast out into the open field and eating grass with the Oxen until he did acknowledge the Lord only to rule in the Kingdomes of men and giveth it to whom soever he will Dan. 4.25 So then the TIME is to be understood one year and TIMES in the plural number is to be understood two years and the half TIME or dividing of TIME is to be understood half a year according to the true account of Daniel from the word TIME or TIMES the which amounts to no longer Time than just three years and an half which is that short space that St. John speaks of the Beasts continuance in troubling the Saints or the sealed number Secondly The Time further appears to be but three years and an half because as it is called one thousand two hundred and threescore dayes even so it is also called FORTY AND TWO MONTHS which is just three years and a half and also a Time and Times and half a Time being compared with Forty and two Months sheweth clearly what Time is to be understood by the one thousand two hundred and threescore dayes that it is just three years and a half Thirdly It further appears to be but three years and a half and not so long as a thousand two hundred and threescore years that Jerusalem shall be taken and troden under foot and the people persecuted because this taking of the City and treading of it under foot is to be after the measuring line hath passed over the City in the latter dayes as I before have shewed that when Judah cometh out of her long captivity then shall she sit upon the repairing of her breaches and before she hath finished her Walls and outward Court there shall be a stop put to it by the Antichrist as it was in the dayes of Judah coming out of Babylon that there was a stop in their building in the dayes of Syrias until the dayes of Darias which was a type of this stop and hinderance in the work as I before have shewed so then if we consider this interruption of Israel and the time when even when they be newly brought out of captivity according to the Prophet Ezekiels words Chap. 38. it clearly sheweth us that the time must be very short agreeing with the Prophet Zechariahs words Chap. 14.1 2 3. which saith Behold the day of the Lord cometh and the spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee and I will gather all Nations against Jerusalem to battail and the City shall be taken agreeing with Revel 11. which saith The holy City shall they tread under foot forty and two months then shall the Lord go forth and fight against those Nations as he fought in the day of battail and his feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives This being well observed may clearly be seen to be a thing falling upon Israel in the latter dayes and that the time of their trouble THEN after their great and long time of being scattered amongst the Nations shall be very short and not exceed the time of three years and a half Fourthly and lastly It appears to be but a very short time namely the time before mentioned because the two Prophets are to prophesie all the time of the Womans flight to establish the remnant of the Womans seed and to smite the Antichrist and his followers with plagues as Moses and Aaron did smite Pharaoh King of Egypt for his wickedness against the Children of Israel and that the two Prophets or Witnesses are to Prophesie all the time of the Womans flight and abode in the Wilderness and of the holy Cities being trod under foot is clear from the words of St. John Revel 11.2 3. in these words The holy City shall they tread under foot forty and two months and I will give power unto my two Witnesses and they shall prophesie a thousand two hundred and threescore dayes cloathed in sackloth From whence we may see that the time of the Womans flight and abode in the Wilderness and the persecution of the Remnant of her seed which remain in Jerusalem is but for the space of three years and a half because as it is called but for a short space and forty and two Months Time and Times and half a Time even so it is but to endure for the time of the prophesying of the two Prophets in Sackcloth which cannot be long much less one thousand two hundred and threescore years nay it is but the just time that the Scripture calls it take it either way namely a thousand two hundred and threescore dayes or forty and two Months or Time and Times and dividing of Time which is just three years and an half as before said And thus I

from the Prophets to witness it but further you may see that there will be a Temple although not the union of the sealed number as Mr. Henden supposed which hath been already answered but a material Temple as saith St. Paul 2 Thes 2.4 He viz. the man of Sin or Antichrist shall sit in the Temple of God shewing himself that he is God But if the Temple be to be understood to discypher the Mistical union of the one hundred forty and four thousand as Mr. Henden saith then it is impossible that the Man of Sin should sit there for they are not to be hurt and that connot be said to be the Temple of God in a spiritual sense which is the seat of the Man of Sin but in a material Temple it hath been so already and will be so again for saith Christ It is written my House should be a House of Prayer but ye have made it a den of thiefs And secondly that there is to be a Temple is also proved from Revel 15.8 in these words And the Temple was filled with smoak from the glory of God from his power and no MAN was able to enter into the TEMPLE till the seven plagues of the seven Angels were fulfilled From hence we see that there shall be a material Temple which shall be so filled with Gods glory that no MAN shall enter into it until the plagues of the seven Vials be executed and so Christ by the brightness of his coming and excellent glory shall dispossess the Man of Sin of his seat and that the glory of God did shine so of old in his Temple read the words of the Prophet Isa 6 4. Ezek. 10.4 And secondly that the glory of the Lord is to appear or fill his House or material Temple Again read Ezek. 43.5 6 7. in these words So the Spirit took me up and brought me into the inner Court and behold the glory of the Lord filled the House and I heard him speaking unto me out of the House and the man stood by me and he said unto me Son of man the place of my Throne and the place of the sole of my feet where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for EVER and my holy Name shall the House of Israel no more defile Agreeable to Chap. 37.21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28. as you may read at large I could give many reasons more to prove a material Temple and elsewhere I have done it But if it should be objected That God doth not dwell in Temples made with hands I answer and say it is very true that the Temple of Jerusalem they had defiled with their abominations and therefore the Lord destroyed it and for a while took unto himself the instruments of a foolish Shepheard Zech. 11.15 and so was a Gin and a Snare to the House of Israel and so the litteral Zion was to be plowed like a field and Jerusalem to become a heap but it doth nor say that Christ will never dwell in Temples or a Temple made with hands nor that he will never dwell in Mount-Zion litteral in Jerusalem but contrariwise saith in many places that he will come unto his Temple and dwell in Mount-Zion in Jerusalem as I before have proved read the place of Christs Kingly seat in the time of his Reign in my Treatise to Mr. Holland annexed to this I could prove that the Lord will have his seat there at large and that when his Tabernacle shall be with men and his seat where his Father Davids was that then it is to be in material Jerusalem when the Law shall go forth of Zion and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem and this was the City and Altar and Temple which was to be measured and the Worshipers which was therein namely the Jews which were to return and at that time shall be returned unto their own Land where they shall worship God according to Moses Law waiting for their Messiah Thirdly what is to be understood by the outward Court not measured or cast out or left out as in reference to measurement it is that after the Israelites be returned before they have finished their outward Courts and walls and the like for their great care and first work shall be upon the chief and principal place viz. their City and Temple the Gentiles namely Gogg the Prince of Meshech and Tubal whose Army shall be of them of Persia Ethiopia and Libia with Gomer and the Family of Togarmah a very great Army of the North Quarters shall be gathered together upon the Mountains of Israel and shall prevail and spoil the Jews for a small season and this shall be done before the outward Court and walls be finished which causeth the Army of the Gentiles to call Jerusalem a Town of unwalled Villages being without Bars and Gates as you may read Ezek. 38.11 in these words And thou shalt say I will go up to the Land of VNWALLED VILLAGES I will go to them that are at rest that dwell safely all of them dwelling without WALS having neither BARS nor GATES to take a spoil to take a prey c. And to this agreeth the words of the Prophet Zecha 2.1 2 3 4 9. which saith I lift up mine eyes again and looked and behold a man with a MEASVRING LINE in his hand Then said I whither goest thou and he said unto me to measure Jerusalem to see what is the breaàth thereof and what is the length thereof And behold the Angel that talked with me went forth and another Angel went out to meet him and said unto him run speak to the young man saying Jerusalem shall be inhabited as a TOWN without WALS c. From these Scriptures and more that might be added we may see that the Walls and outward Court shall not be finished till it is taken and the holy City trod under foot but the time of its oppression is so short as not worth speaking of in comparison of time namely three years and a half so that this Prophet speaks little of the oppression of Israel but doth as it were overlook it because the time of it is so short and speaks of that which is of the greatest moment namely the Enemies destruction but the Prophet Zechariah agreeing with the Revelations sheweth that the City shall for a small time be surprised and taken and the Jews persecuted although the City it self shall not be destroyed but shall be the place of the Enemies Randesvouz and that this is true read the words of the Prophet Daniel compared with Zechariah which saith He shall enter also into the glorious Land and many Countries shall be overthrown but these shall escape out of his hands even EDOM and MOAB and the CHIEF OF THE CHILDREN OF AMMON and he shall plant the Tabernacle of his Pallace between the Seas in the glorious holy mountain yet he shall come to his end and none shall help him And at that time
