Day of Trying the Paschal Lambs or Preparation of the Passover To the Pentecost Or from the day of Aarons Death and of burning the City and Temple To the Day of Creation or Dedication of the second Temple and of Jerusalem in Nehemiahs Time and to the Feast of Trumpets in the seventh Month which was for Release and Tabernacles were 1260 1290 or 1335 Hours And from the City Taken on the 9th of the 4th Month to the Feast of Tabernacles were 2300 Hours as between the Suns Apogeum and the Equinox And their great Release was in 2300 Dayes As their Release of Hirelings or their three years Tythes and Offerings with the Solemn Confessions of Deut. 26. came out in 1260 or 1335 Dayes So Davids New Jerusalem was gotten from the Jebusites who Trod it down as their name in Heb And the Ark was fixed in Zion and the Temple built in 1260 1290 or at most in 1335 years from the first Desolation of the Flood And Nehemiahs New Jerusalem was finished and dedicated at 1260 hours that is the morning of the 53 d day from its beginning but 1335 hours from his coming thither as Nehem. 2. 11. 6. 15. and in so many years from Jacobs service in Syria Typing Israel in Assyria or from Josephs Bonds in Egypt or Israels coming and Dying there And the great Dedication and Restitution after Antiochus Nicanor was so many Dayes as in Daniel After the City Prophaned and so many years After Egypt and the Golden Calf which was 1335 years before the Maccabees which were 1290 years After the Ark at Shiloh or 1260 years After their first Bondage to the K. of Mesopotamia as a Type of Babylon and 1260 years Before the Christians got Jerusalem and Reigned in it about 1100 of Christ All which were but Types and Shadows of the New Jerusalem to come in those degrees of 1260 1290 or 1335 years After the Abominable Desolation made by Antichrist who was Typed out by Antiochus Which was to come upon the Christian Church as the Assyrian was to fill the breadth of the Land of Emanuel When the Romans had finished their war against Jerusalem in Titus Adrian and Julian After the ten first Christian Persecutions Which lasted as many years as there were Hours in ten Dayes As the Revelation saith they should have Tribulation for Ten Dayes which have Hours 240. and there were so many Years from the first Persecution which began with the Jewish War in 65 or 66 of Christ Till Constantine And the Times of Julian were as slaying of the Paschal Lambs which were Tyed up on the tenth day ending at Hour 240 and slain on the fourteenth at Hour 333 As Julian was 333 years After Christ and Romes deadly Wound was After Jerusalem sack'd 333 years As Hamans Lots or Purim from the Preparation of the Passover 333 dayes 333 was a signal Number to the Jews both for Hours to the Passover and Dayes to Purim and Cubits in the Holy Courts and to Others also As Plutarch observes in Fabius finding Secrets in the Sybils not to be uttered and vowing 333 Sesterces and 333 Denaries Deucalions Flood Phaetons Flames and the first Judgement in Areopagu much about 333 years before the Sack of Troy about 333 before Lycurgus end who renewed the Olympick Games 333 years after Hercules That we speak not of Messenia desolate about 333 years in Aelian 333 is half 666 and 333 Dayes are 12 Times 666 Hours which are the Monthly Change of the Sun and Moon and thence the Great Number of Change to the World and in Years also As it was to Carthage in Paterculus and Rome with Jerusalem and other places here discussed And to clear this way of reckoning Years by Hours of the Jewish Year the Author shews the Rise and Use of Hours with diverse Nations long before they be specifyed in Polibius or Plutarch who yet can tell us the first Hour of Romulus and the Great account of Hours among the Jews whose Year is a Model of time in All Ages So that the old Patriarchs and all the great things of Scripture were in Harmony to the Dayes and Hours of the Jewish Year and to the Site and Motions of the Heavenly Bodies As Hours are made by the Moon moving 24 of her Diameters in 24 Hours and the Earths Diameter 24 times in the Suns which may be distant from the Earth twice 666 Radij As the Moon 66 and Canaans Longitude is 65 or 66 in Ptolomy And as the first Heavenly body is above the Earth 65 of its Radij and the first Fruits of Earth were at 65 Hours of Creation in the 3 d Day which was the first of Herbs and Animals so the Feast of the First fruits was the 65th Day of the Year and in the 3 d Month As the Tabernacles twice 65 or 130 Dayes After Pentecost Adam was about 130 Hours of Creation and Seth at 130 years as many reckon Abraham was After Terah 130 years in which time the Equinox Changeth a whole Day as 12 Hours in 65 Years Enos was born at 235 Years of the World and the Paschal Lambs were Tyed up and Tryed at 235 Hours of the Jewish year and the Great Cycle of the Moon called the Golden Number is of 235 Months For which Here is an easier way to reckon the Moons Motions and the Suns Cycle with the Dayes of the Week in any year of Christ or of the Julian Period Kainan was born at 325 years of the World and 325 Hours of their year came to the Morning Sacrifice of the Passover slain at Hour 333 just half 666 and Kainans Birth was 666 Years before Enochs Translation or twice 666 before the Flood Mahalael as many years After Kainan as there were Hours to the Evening Sacrifice of the third Day As the First Fruit Omer heaved up on the 3 d Day After the Passover He was born 1260 as Kainan 1332 before the Flood and dyed in the year of the World 1290. Jared the 6 from Adam was born 135 and lived 187 years After Kainan and the Morning Sacrifice of the 6th Day of the World and of the Month and Year and so of the First fruit Omer from the Tying of the Paschal Lambs was at Hour 135 and the Evening Sacrifice of the 8th Day for Circumcision and the Christian Sabbath was at hour 187. As from Pentecost to the Great Hosanna there were Dayes 135 and to the Great Atonement Dayes 187 As between the Vernal and Autumnal Equinox 187 and in the Pentateuch 187 Chapters As the Cubits of the Inward Court of Israel were 187 and the Outer 135 which being added to 130 makes 365 As Dayes in a year or Veins in our Body or Negative Precepts in the Law And Kainan was twice 365 before Noah 365 before Jareds End As Mahalaels was before the Flood and the Flood before Abrahams Call if born at his Fathers 70 As Hours of the Jewish year to the First fruit Omer Reaped After
K. eating Grass as an Ox and of the Ram or Medes and Persians in Dan. and the Goat for the Grecian Monarchy The Fowls Chased by Abraham may note the Romans famous for Ravens in the Punick Warr and Eagles as in Daniel and our Saviour As the Babylonians were for Doves in their Ensigns and letters about Doves necks As fly from the Dove of the North and as a Trembling Dove or Jonah from Assyria Which also worshipped the Dove as That which kept Semyramis or Semyrian Kept by the Dove And Abrahams Vision had All Beasts and Birds for sacrifice And Divers Nations learned such a way of Covenants and Lustration Cutting a Bullock as in Jeremy with a Ram and Goat also in Greece And the Macednians bowed To the Goats Hans in Justine and Plutarchs Pyrrhus And the Heifer of 3 years old may denote 1080 years as Dayes of 3 years and Clakins of their Hours As years from Abraham To the Fall of the first Monarchy and Rising of the 2 d. at the 7th year of Joash or in Amaziâ—h Or of Rome and Nibonassar with the Greek Olympiads in Vzziah 3 times 3 years are 3240 Dayes or years From Babel Built To the Christians Taking Jâ—rusalem Or from the Covenant made with Abraham or the Birth of Isaak To Ottoman and the first Roman Jubilie So also From Mâ—ses To These Dayes Abraham saw his Seed should be gotten out by many Plagues As Sara was Recovered Thence by Plaguing Pharaohs House and at Sun-set the very season of their coming out as Gen. 15. 17. Deut. 16. 6. They were called up at Midnight after the Passover but got not out of Aegypt till the next Sun-set at Hour 360. bringing up the Full Mâ—on as Dayes 360 the Full year and That was Afterwards the season of the First Fruit Omers Reaping Which was Heaved up As They were and Christ was to be And so they carried up the Bones of Joseph and the Patriarchs as Acts 7. From Ramases they came to Succoth Tabernacles and Then to Etham in the 3 d station As our Saviour said I Walk to day and tomorrow and the 3 d day I shall be Perfect As David also Then I shall be Perfect Which is Faham in Heb. There they saw the Glory of God in his Cloud and Piller Promised to every Cotage on mount Zion and to All her Churches which are therefore many in Esw 4. This might be Minba time of the 3 d Day from Aegypt or at Hour 430. As it was year 430. They Past the Red Sea upon the 21st of that Month the Last and Great Day of Unleavened Bread wch began at hour 480. As the Temple at year 480. and was Dedicated in the 7th month Ethanim and Tabernacles as alluding both To Succoth and Eâ—ham The Red Sea in Heb might be called Red from the Great Trade for Mimum and Vermilion at a Port of it in very ancient Authors or from Erythrus that ruled in the Ilands where Edom never was Though once his borders reach to Fzion-geber on that Sea But Israel did Compass Edoms Land and might not tread upon it which was so remote from This Sea that the Prophets say His Cry should reach unto it at his Fall But Edom is a Glutton as Adam in the Orientall tongues whence Eâ—o and Eat in many Languages And though Edon may be Red also yet improbable to name That Sea which reached unto India in very many Authors From This Sea they came to Sur or Sure on the 22 d day and in 3 days more To Marah Bitter and Rebellion much about Hour 666 or noon of the 28th day At Elim 12 Fountains and 70 Psalms Which grow by Bowing as their Heb name Tamar As she that grew Fruitful in her old age As Psalm 92 the Righteous flourish as Tamar in the Hezrons of God They bear much fruit in Old age as Tamar did before Aegypt to encourage them And Malachy saith Judah loveth the Daughter of a strange God as a Cananite in Genesis wherefore God will cut off Er and Oneh in One day David might remember That of Tamar and Hezcon when he read how the women Blessed his Grand-mother saying Let thy House be As Tamars seed To Judah A strange Emblem of the Church by the seed of the Father while she tarried for Shelah Shilâ—h From Elim To Sin on the 15th of the 2 d month as from Aegypt on the 15th of the first and There they Sin again by murmuring Till the Manna came upon the 3 d day after the Time for the 2 d Passover As the First Fruit Omer on the 3 d day After the first Passover And the Law was at the Time of â—entecost The Golden Calf was in the 4th month Then they fast for Breaking the Tables And the Caldees broke up the City on the 9th of the 4th month In the 5th month They Fast again for the Heavy Doom of not Entering into Rest Which they reckon the Day of Both Temples Burnt Or Doomsday In the 6 â— they Fast again for the Judgements on the Evil Spies And the 7th began with Trumpets yet they Fast again upon the 3 d for Ishmacl But the 10th is the Great Fast for Adams Fall as is thought when the Sun declined and Day shortned Till the Flood And thence increased again and at their leaving Aegypt the Sun was in Aries Horned as the Aegyptian Hammon at the Vernal Equinex And Moses promised that God would make their Days As the Days of Heaven Which Increased till the Height and Heat of the Sun and sin and wrath which are all in the Hebr Hamma brought a flood of fire upon their City and Temple about the Height of the Summer Sun And at That Tropick Their Sun Turned again as in Amos 8. And at Hezekiahs sicknesse and our Saviourâ— Death and Declined as their Dayes shortned as Isalm 102 Till the Autumnal Equinox and Great Renewing of the year or Restitution of All things Acts 3 d. At the Great Release and Feast of Tabernacles which we seek and Expect They Entred Canaan on the 10th of the first month As Ezech. saw the New Jerusalem upon the 10th of the 1st month the very day for setting apart the Paschal Lambs It s Noon is hour 234 as before in Enos and the Golden Number And it was 234 years after Jacobs Death We may begin the Great year we discusse At This Entering Canaan or Their Leaving Aegypt Or the first Rearing of the Tabernacle on the first Day of the year On which the Earth appeared Dry to Noah and Hezekiah began to Cleanse the Temple as Ezekiel is Commanded and Ezra began to come from Babylon the first day of the year Flee out of Bobylon make hast and look not back least you partake of her Plagues and Remember Lots Wife But Ezra came not to Jerusalem till the first of the 5 â— the Annual Fast for the Death of Aaron whom Ezra was to supply and with Nehemiah To repair the City Burnt in
Methuselah To Abraham Or from Noah To Mâ—ses and Aaron From the Flood To the Ark in Zion or the Temple As from Joseph and Jacob To Nehemiah Or from Egypt and the Wilderness To the Dedication by the Machabees And Thence to the Christians Getting Jerusalem As from Gideons Ephâ—d To our Saviour and from the Romans First Taking Jerusalem To the Popes Decretals and Councel of Lateran For Transubstant In the Time of Innocent the 3 d Excommunicating the Emperour As From Christ To the Sicilian Vesters Or the First Roman Jubilie with the Second Wo. or House of Ottoman As from the Sack of Ierusalem or Revel written To the 2 d Roman Iubilie Or To the Golden Bull and order of Iesuans or Iesuats As From the 10 Persecutions ending in Constantine To the Great Change at Queen Elizabeth And From Iulians Time To the Persans Taking Babylon and to K. Charles in England and Free Religion in France And although there were Great Defections in the Christian Churches before Iulian Yet Then was the Great Apâ—stacy which seemeth Pointed out To the Thessalonians And the Last Oracles said that Christian Religion should Stand but a Great Year Which came out in Iulians Time about 365. And Thence the Roman Empire did begin its Mortal Wound As first by the Gauls about 365 of the City Built And whatever else the Revelation Beast may be vet we must All agree To That last verse of the 17th Chapter And the Wâ—man which thousawest is That Great City which Reigneth over the Kings of the Earth Which certainly was Rome in some State or Other That we say nothing of Mysterium written in the Popes old Frontal In Constantine the Empire Trembled In the Western Legions drawing off to New Rome with 7 Hills also but not 7 Kings or Governments And a Kingdom Divided cannot stand The Church did Creep again a little After Julian But with standing stools and Forms of some that did pretend to Teach it first to Go with a strange Chaos of Jewish Rites or Heathen And the Tares of the Envious one grew up Till They could not be Rooted out but with Danger to the Wheat also First in Lent only Till Easter which Crucified all the Body of Christ Marriage is Forbidden And at Laodicea the signal place in the 3 d of Revelation Then at Other Times and Then To the Clergy at All Times in Siricius When the name of Catbolique came up with the Golden Law for Lent about 380. Then Canonical Hours about 390 A very signal Number both to Jewes and Gentiles for the Last Olympiad and the First Vse of Mass with the head of John the Baptist and Then the Bones of Samuel and ere long of Stephen and Nicodemus Brought into Europe The Empire shakes upon Contest of the Emperor and Stilico by whom Alaciâ—us was Beaten Yet so countenanced That he sacketh Rome From That Deadly Wound 1260 years come out about 1666 Or somewhat sooner At the End of the Three Great Years and half or 3500 years of Esaus Strugling with Jacob. Which Esdras makes the End of the Old World and Beginning of a New And all the Bible maketh Them the Great Types of Election and Reprobation or of Children of Light and Darkness The first Dragon or Beast of the Bottomless pit with 7 Heads and 10 Horns or 10 Hours for 7 dayes of the week And the shortest Night had 10 Hours And as the Light might Rise in 7 hours so the Sun might Rise in 10. And Those 2 Numbers of 7 and 10 were Sacred to others also As in Justine Curtius Arrianus and others of the Persians and Alexanders Weeks before the Roman in the Attick Nights or Genial Days and Saturnals And as the Revelation hath its 4 Watchers and 24 Elders for the 24 hours So the 7 Spirits For the 7 days of the week which return in a Circle As the Months of Nisan and Tizri Which were Sevenths to each other and had â—easts alike As 7 equal Circles in a Ring of 6 and one in the Centre as 6 Tones and 2 Halvs in and an Eight or Diapason 7 being the only Number of 3 Wholes and a Half The Jews Law had 7 Heads to Noah 10 Horns to Moses with 666 Sections or at most 669. And its Heb name is akin to Thorus or Taurus a Beast wch in Hebr leters maketh just 666. And None might buy or sell among them or be Denisons that did not submit to the 7 Heads of Noahs Laws 7 Things were left by Moses for the Poor 7 Sabbaths 2 in Tabernacles one in Pentecost and 2 at Pass and 7 Passovers in Script besides Atonement and the weekly Sabbath Which 2 last forbad All work the other 5 but Servile only 7 Servitudes in the Iudges 7 Liquors in Moses Song 7 Lamps and 7 Spirits on the Messiah Esay 11 As 7 Spirits before the Throne or 7 Eyes or 7 Planets in Heaven and 7 Metals in Earth seven pair of Nerves and 7 Principal parts in the Bowels So they had 7 Elders or Deacons in their Churches or Synagogues wch must be of 10 at least As usually a Paschal Lamb was for 10 Recorded and so the Romans could reckon them at the Last Passover And at 10 they brought their Children to Fast and other points of the Law and their Lowest Consistories were at places of 10 Families As the Saxon Decennars or Tithings And the Romans had their signal Tithings and 10 Circuits in their Provinces 10 Kingdoms as Horns on the Last Head of the Beast Which may be the Great Spirit of the World with 7 Heads and 10 Horns As God also pleased to manifest himself in 10 Laws and 7 Spirits for 7 Days of the week and One of Them had also a Deadly Wound as it was the Jewish Sabbath but Got up again and yet so changed That it was as an Eight Day and yet but One of the 7 As the 7 or 8 Heads in Revel But there is a Man can be our peace when the Assyrian Overflows us When he shall Tread in our Palaces Then we shall raise against him 7 Shephards and 8 Principal Men. Yea and the Spirit of the Lord shall set up a Standard against him The Revelation doth require a Volume by it self Now Only the Holy City Trodden down As David Got it from the Tredding Jebusites and Nehemiah from the Cuthites and Machabeus from Antiochus And Jerusalem shall be Trodden down of the Gentiles Till the Times af the Gentiles be fulfilled Or as Paul Until the Fulness of the Gentiles And Then All Israel shall he saved or Redeemed For the Time of your Redemption draweth Nigh The 42 Months are 1260 Dayes as 5 months of the First Wo are 150 days As the 5 first months of the Flood quite hiding the Earth in Water as the Baptists Mother was Hidden 5 months and in the 6 t the Angel came to the Virgin And at 30 Dayes apiece 42 Months are 1260 Dayes As the Dayes of the Woman and
the Beast also 42 months And yet they do not seem to end together Except we grant him More then his Reigning Time of 42 Months From his Deadly Wound For he lives and prospers so at the End of 1260 Days that he killeth the 2 Witnesses and They lye Dead 3 dayes and an half which may be 3 years and an half or somewhat more then 3 dayes or 75 Hours and 1335 are 75 more then 1260. And at Rising of the Witnesses the 10th part only of the City fell whether it be the Great City following which Reigned over the Kings of the Earth Or the Holy City Before yet called Sodom where the Lord was slain As in the Prophets And the 10th of that City may allude To Neehmiahs Time When the Tenths of All the people were chosen out by lot to dwell in Ierusalem so that All that City was but as the Tenth of Israel And the Tenth in Esay 6 and other places seems a Type of Gods Elect Or else there may be somewhat more in it For the First Fruits are The Elect whose Heb name is akin to That of First Fruits As we touch on Davids Micol and Baburim in another place But Tenths are proper most to the Iewish Church And when the Fruits of All the Earth come in as All Kingdoms At the Rising of the Witnesses It is no great wonder That Tenths should Fall With All the Ceremonious Pendants To the Iewish Levites And the very word for Dragon is in Hebrew Tan or Tannin and Levitan akin to Levi Tan or Ten And the Levites crying Ten Ten which is Give Give as the Horsleach Else I will Take it with This Fleshook by Force And Levitan may be Levi the Dragon or Cruel Levi. As Their Father Iacob said Adding also But my soul shall not be in their Secret or in Sodam As the word is There and maketh just 666 alluding unto Lots flying out of Sodom to Zoar. As Moab of Lot is bidden in Esay 16. As to mind the Heifer of 3 years old in Gen. 15. Moses told the Levites they were a stiff Rebellious Generation Deut. 31. 25. 27. And it was a Levites Concubine that plaid the Whore at Bethlem Till at length she was filled and divided into 12. As the 10 and 2 Tribes scattered all about Till there were not left 666 Reliques of Benjamin And yet he Had the Ruler Saul and He cut his Oxen As the Levites Concubine and then the Temple came in Little Benjamin The Lord must dwell between His shoulders And the Altar had a corner cut that so it might be all in Benjamin To Devour the Prey in the morning sacrifice and to gnaw the Bones in the Evening As Jacob first and Then the Prophets do allude And the Jews observe the Levites were but 22000 to Teach their 22 Letters for neglecting That They were carried Captive in their 22 d Generation As the Priests cut off by Saul Before Davids New Jerusalem And Solomon Put off Abiathar also the Relique of the Priests And Nehemiah chased a Son of the High Priest allied to Samballat And when Solomon came to Dedicate his Temple which perhaps the Priests expected But As soon As all the people did agree to Blesse the Lord and sing For he is Good Because a mighty word As if He were not Good But That His Mercy doth Endure for Ever Then the Glory of God came Down and Filled the Temple so that the very Best of All the Priests could not Enter or Durst not So that Solomon was fain to Pray will God Indeed Indeed come Dwell in Clay and Blesse the People Which by Gods Command was most Peculier to the Sons of Aaron and Solomon was neither Priest nor Levite But of Judah whence our Lord did spring And he cut off 22000 Beasts in One Day which Themselves compare to the 22000 Levites Adding also that Pompey slew 22000 about the Temple and was Beaten after it by Caesars 22000 To as many more in Pompeys Army As 22000 in That of Apolonius in the Machabes And when Joash came up in the 7th year and did desire the Levites to Repair the Temple or to help it forward They Pretended but 't is said They Hastned it not And again in Twice 7 years The Priests had not Repaired the House as 2 Kings 12. with 2 Cron. 24. as 12 and 24 in all Temple matters And at length They consent to Receive no more money nor to Repair the House which was therefore Put out as the Vineyard To Other persons That did work and do it Faithfully without Priests and Levites Which might be a Type of somewhat in our Saviours Times and Farther And though we read of First Fruits still Even in Ezechiels New Ierusalem Yet of Tithes very Seldom or never that I find in all the Bible of the Gostel Times but of the Pharisees Boast of Paying Tithes and Tithing Mint or Any-seed But the Tenth might also Note The Tribute Paid to Kings over them Which Samuel fixed by the Tenth of All they had or Got. And when the Romans Took the Didragm or half shekle For Redemption of Souls As in Matthew with Josephus They had Tithes also The Common Tribute to Hercules with other Demigods And so the 10th days of all or divers months were mourning fasting Dayes as we saw before And thus the Fall of the Tenth of the City Whither it be Jerusalem or Rome or Any Other or All Others For it may be in All Successively may speak the Fall of All Their Tolls and Tributes Tythes and Offerings or whatever else was Appendant to the Levitical Policy or mearly Jewish Or Legal Bonds or Bondage And They that defend Those things should be sure They come not to confess They have Acted As Jews but were not As in several of the Churches Which were much Distinct Although so near in One Lydian Asian Province That they might have soon made One National Church if That had been the Only way and All their Angels might have laid their Faults upon One High Arch Angel But Ezechiels New Altar rejecteth all the Old Levites that stayed with Israel and Chooseth the House of Zadoch the Righteous as Solomon took him for Abiathar And Ezechiel 45 determines All Tribute to their King also with a strikt Command upon the Prince To Take away his Exactions on his People whose Exactors must be Peace And One of 200 Lambs with a 60th part of Corn or 100 part of Oyle is Fixed for the Tribute But How Long These Tenths or other Tolls may last I know not any Text determines clearer Then the 14th of the Revelation Bringing us To the Feast of Tabernacles in the following Chapters After Harvest and Vintage As Exod. 23. 16 and 34. 22. Deut. 16. 13. As the Ark came Home From 7 Months Wandring as 7 years Release and Rested in the Field of Josuah some Type of Jesus when the Jews were At Their Wheat or Last Harvest Before the Showers fell that were
restrained in Harvest As 1 Sam. 6. and 12. 17. and 2 Sam. 21. 10. And Those Showers might hint the Waters of the Spirit To be Poured out at the Joy of of Harvest As the Waters of Bethlehem David Longed for at Harvest Time as 2 Sam. 23. And Samson came to visit his wife in Wheat Harvest and Then Burnt the Philistines Corn. And we may compare Psalm 126. 129. Esay 9. and 12th and 18 With That of Jeremy The Harvest is Past and yet we are not Saved As we hoped by the Types But Is there no Balm in Gilead or the Witness Meetings As of old for Iacob at Gilead and Mispa Samuel also Cryed at a Mispa The Lord is Witness And They Answered Witness And again the Harvest is come and Time of Thressing Babylon Which yet is made Too Narrow by Confining it to One any One City or People in the World It was the Head of All Oppression and Confusion As it signifies And yet it is Too much in my Heart And Babell is Lebab the Heart in Hebrew Turned Backward or Distracted and Confused As Solomom saith Gods work is much to make men see They are but Beasts to themselves Shehem Behema Hemma Lahem and the World is in their Heart and Madness also while we Live and After That we Dye But O Iudah He hath set an Harvest for thee When I return the Captivity of my People Hos 6. 11. And at the Valley of Iehosaphat or Beraca Put in the Sickle For the Harvest is Ripe get you down and Hither Cause Thy Mighty Ones to come For the Wine-Press is Full and the Fat 's Overflow For Their Wickedness is Great And so the Great Doom and Feast of Tabernacles in Zech. To which our Saviour may allude in the Last and Great Day of Tabernacles and the Mighty Ones or Angels to come down At That Day in Ioel and Zech. For They must Ascend first and Then Descend on the Son of Man As the Great Angel in the 14th of the Revelation or the Son of Man Who bid them Let the Tares alone with the Wheat Till the Angel Reapers Came at the Harvest or End of the World And as This Harvest and Vintage began with the Jews and House of God As in the Prophets Gospels and Epistles So it is All measured From That City Sackt and Prest As Grapes in a Winepress As in divers places So that our Saviour makes the Ruin of that City a Shadow of the Great Judgment And the Blood As Moses Song The Blood of Grapes came up to the Bridles of the Horses Tredding it as in the 2 d Woe and it flowed out From the City Trod and Pressed 1600 Furlongs And if Cubits be proper for Days Then Furlongs are proper for Years And so we may find them in Many Places and Cities Built and Sackt or Changed at a signal Number of Furlongs or Miles in their own Buildings or Distance to some others so or so Related to them As the Olbian Tables and Characters And though the Furlong be with some 400 Cubits as before and a year have Fewer Days yet They could not take a Round Number as they call it Nearer To Their Greatest year which had a full Month of 30 Days beyond the Common year As often They were forced to allow When either Floods or Frost did hinder coming To the Passover which God dispensed in Case of Sickness and of Iourney Or the Vernal Equinox were After That which should be the Passover Or their Barly were not Ripe enough For Heaving up the First Fruit Omer Then the Jewish year had near 400 Days And so the word for 2 years space is 800. If m be only 40 in Shenothaim And the Attick Fuclong had not so many Feet as the Roman by 24 or 25 and was no more then One did run in a Breath or 10 seconds As we must Breath about 360 times in an Hower As Dayes in a year And the Ancients measured a Degree by 666 Furlongs The Revelation was at Patmos a Greek Iland Somewhat before 100 of Christ or 60 from His Passion or 30 from the City Sack And we may remember All these years by That of the Good Ground bearing 30 60 or 100. And our Saviour hints somewhat in Furlongs When They had Rowed 30 Furlongs as Himself had lived 30 years They fell into a very Great Storm which might denote the City Storm and Sinking in the War that Rose 30 years After Him Who Walked on the Sea and Calmed the Storm Although They thought him an Evil Spirit As we use to do in All of other Judgments or Practise from us And his First Revelation of himself was at Emaus when they had walked 60 Furlongs As the Revelation was 60 years After his Death And the Roman War full 60 years After his Birth And 60 more To Adrian Rasing the City about 130 years or 1600 months as Furlongs The New Jerusalem is 12000 Furlongs And If they be Months it is but 1000 years as Chapter 20. But if Years and the Circuit be 12000 Then Every side of the Square is 3000. As the years from Shiloh To these Times or very near us As we saw at the Tabernacles 3000 Cubits And if the Temple Cubits be Days 30 by 30 make 3600 and by 20 72000 or 6000 years and the very Porch of 10 by 20 200 by 120 24000 of which before We saw how Ninive did Sack Samaria and Babylon Jerusalem at 666. And They were Distant from them 666 miles and the Least of them 444 Furlongs about As the Biggest 480. And Judah came From Them about 480 years After the Temple Built at 480 years from Egypt Which is also distant by 240 and some parts 480 miles As Haran was 430. And Abraham coming Thence was told of 430 years As Memphis was From the North of Canaan but from Old Babylon 960 As years From Egypt to their coming from Babylon And Babylon was 480 miles from Damascus As it came to be 480 Furlongs or 60 Miles about As one of its Castles 60 Furlongs and its Golden Image 60 Cubits And its River had a Wall of 360 Furlongs And Cyrus took it as Jeremy spake by 360 Sluces as Days in a year Which was also 240 year of Iphitus Olympicks or of Rome 216 or of Nabonassar 210. As His Tygris was 210 Furlongs from Cyrus Susan Which was also much about 210 Furlongs in Circuit As Cyrus Took Babylon 210 years before the Persians End in Alexander Taking Babylon 210 years After Cyrus As Cyrus 210 After Nabonassar and 10 years before his Son began The New Babylon in Egypt or was There with his Sister Meroe for Sheba Daniel speaketh of Cyrus 3 d year and Xenophen of 7 or 8 years Journeys and Ptolomies Canon of 9 years in Babylon The Head of All the Monarchs Nimrod Nabonassar Nebuchadnezzer Nabonidus Darius the Medâ— and Cyrus the Persian Darius Histasp Alexander Seleucus All. Till Rome also lost it self as Alexander did by Gaining
360 Hours and before 366 the midnight of their 16th day when it was to be Heaved up After 365 Hours As Enoch was After he had lived 365 years as dayes of a year and begat his Son at 65 as dayes to Pentecost and the next came at 187 as dayes of their year To Atonement and between the Equinoctials as before And from Enochs Translation the following thing◠〈◊〉 the Bible may be found in Consâ—â—… to the dayes hours of the Jewish year and Sections of the Pentateuch which are 669 as the years between Enoch and the Flood were 669. The Ark was begun at Noahs 480 as the Temple at 480 from Egypt and the Great Day of Unleavened Bread began at Hour 480 but of the World 1536 and Hour 1536 began the Pentecost which they say continued through the 70th day Which began at Hour 1656 as the Flood in the year 1656 And its first 40 dayes Rain may be Types of the first 40 years of the second Ark in the Wilderness before it came to rest at Shiloh in as many years after the first Ark began as there are Hours in 40 Dayes which are 960. And the first Pentecost in Canaan was as many years after Enoch as there were Hours in the Jewish year to Pentecost or its Preparation And from the first Pentecost in Canaan To the Times of Jeroboam and the Caldean Sack or Desolation by Antiochus or by the Romans and divers others were as many Years as Hours between the Pentecost and Dayes on which those Desolations happened And if we may not guess at things to come by what is past in all the World and Works of God in all ages yet we may say that 1666 After Christ is as many years After their first Pentecost in Canaan or first coming to it as there were Hours from Pentecost to the feast of Tabernacles that is 3120 for they entered Canaan 1455 years before Christ and 1665 more do make 3120 as Hours in 130 dayes from Pentecost to the feast of Tabernacles Or if any please to reckon from some latter Pentecost As That in Acts 2. we may find it As many years from Egypt and their coming thence as there were Hours in the Jewish year to Pentecost or its Preparation And 1666 will be as many years After that Pentecost in Acts 2. as there were Hours from Pentecost to their Great Dooms day against their Entring into Rest and of Burning both Temples on the 9th or 10th of the 5th Mon. But the Author rather thinketh that already past and fulfilled in the Roman Sack of Jerusalem and Burning the last Temple which was as many years After their first Pentecost in Canaan as That Day is Hours from the first Hour of Pentecost and as many years before these times of Christ as there are Hours from their Dooms day To the Feast of Tabernacles which can be but 1600 After 69 of Christ And the Revelations shew the Feast of Tabernacles or Gods Tabernacle with men After the great Harvest and Vintage also which ran out from the City Sacked or Troden in That Vintage 1600 Furlongs as Apoc. 14. And although Furlongs may seem to represent Months or other times as well as Years as there are much about 1600 Months in the Jewish Wars till Adrian raced the City yet they are most proper for years of which there are many instances As Cubits are most proper for Dayes of 24 Hours as They had 24 Digits So the Cubits of the Ark do make the very years of the Ark Driven by the Flood out of the Dragons mouth from 1250 to 1335. As the years between the first and the second Ark at Zion and Davids New Jerusalem with the first Temple Or from Jacobs Service Josephs Bonds or Israels Bondage unto Nehemiahs New Jerusalem Or from Egypt and the Golden Calf and Tabernacle To the Great Dedication in the Maccabees Or from That Desolation by Antiochus To the Christians Reigning in Jerusalem Or from Julian in Jerusalem and from Romes Deadly Wound or Sack till about 1666 now coming Yet as Prophetick dayes may be years so may Cubits also in lesser bodies as the Tabernacle Where the open Court was a hundred Cubits and the Tabernacle closed 3000 which are but 20 less then the Hours between Pentecost and the Feast of Tabernacles As if the very Cubits of the Tabernacle might denote the years from It Flitting in the Wilderness to the Feast of Tabernacles coming And as the Arks Cubits might note the Churches years driven by the Flood and filled with Beasts rather than men and Trodden by them so the very Cubits of the Beasts skins about the Tabernacles might denote how long those Beasts should press the Church or hold it in Or how long it should be under Veils and Coverings Seeing God himself did after use the Ram and Goat whose Skins and Hair did cover the Tabernacle for Emblems of some of those Monarchies which were all shewed to Abraham and even named in the four Kings he conquered before he met Melchizedeck a Type of Christ at his second coming and in his great Vision when he saw the Time of their coming out of Egypt and those four Monarchies with all the kinds of Birds and Beasts appointed for sacrifice And the Cubits in the Temple and its Courts may represent the years to Christ and other great Periods of Time in the Bible As is here at large discussed And for fixing Times Abrahams birth which hath so divided all Cronologers between his Fathers 70 years and 130 is by these accounts fixed 2000 years before Châ—â—â—â— As 2000 Cubits in the Tabernacle before the most holy Place and 2000 Cubits between the Camp and the Ark and 2000 Cubits in their Sabbath dayes Journey and 2000 Cubits in the Suburbs of their holy Cities And Those 2000 years are parted by 75 before his Call or coming into Canaan as 75 Sons and Nephews of Noah 75 Souls of Jacobs going into Egypt 75 Ancestours of Christ in Luke 75 Dayes from the City Sackt to the Day of Dedication of the second Temple and of Nehemiahs Jerusalem and from the Day of Atonement To the Dedication by the Maccabees and from the Fast for the first Captivity in the 9th Month to the Feast of Purim and 75 Cubits from the Outer Gate to the holy Courts about the Temple And 75 is the Difference between 1260 and 1335 in Daniel and the Revelation And 430 years from Abrahams Entring into Canaan and their Going out of Egypt and receiving the Law Which was 1495 years before our Saviour As the very Number of the Hebrew Alphabet by which God wrote the Law is just 1495 and so parted as the years from Egypt By 9 Unites making 45 As years to the Ark at Shiloh and 9 Decimals making 450 As years to the Ark at Zion 45 years before the Temple finished which was 1000 years before our Saviour As their Centenaries K R S T or Christ do make 1000 or at most 1005. As
14th year or 2 d 7th And when I bring back Thy Captivity then I will bring back Sodom also thy sister and Samaria As the 2 wives of David at Ziglag or of Jacob who served twice 7 years and Then had Joseph who was bound as long and Then Foretold the 7 years Famine After 7 of Plenty The Ark was a Captive To the Philistines 7 years and Then was brought home at Wheat Harvest or at the Tabs And Ester was taken into the Royal House in the 10th month of the 7th year And David was Persecuted 7 years or Reigned 7 years and an half at Hebron before he got Jerusalem From the Jebusites who Trod it down as their name in Hebr Till He Took it As a Type of the New Jerusalem And then he made the Solemn Feast to All the People and dismissed All with Bread and Wine and flesh Although it be not called the Feast of Tabernacles As Solomons Dedication was In the 7th Month and Dayes of Tabs with his Solemn Feast After 7 years and 6 Months of his Temple As a Type of that to come in 7 Prophetick years and 6 Months After Which end about the year of Christ 1700. But Davids 7 years and half about 1666. And Nehemiah kept the Feast of Tabernacles and Release As it had not been From Josuahs Time As Neh. 8. 17. And to Clear this by the Numbers in Daniel and the Revelation 1260 or 1290 and 1335 are Dayes or Years As Hâ—urs of signal Fasts Feasts in the Jewish year As first They Fast on the 10th of the 1â—t For Mâ—riams Death and of the 2 d for Elies and his Sons with the Ark Taken Shadowing the Church As the P. Lambs Tyed up and Tryed on the 10th Which we call The Day of Tryal slain on the 14th in Hour of that year 333. As there were 333 Dayes of Hamans Lots From the 13th of the 1st To the 13 of the 12th which was also the Annual Feast for Nicanor slain as Haman at Purim the 14th and 15th of the 12th and there were 333 Dayes between the Day of Tryal and the 13th of the 12th month called Adar Pentecost the 65 t of the year and 65 more To the Great Doom of not Entring into Rest and Burning Both Temples the 9 or 10 of the 5th we call it Dooms Day Which was 65 before Tabs As the Palms or Hozanna was 65 before the Feast of Dedication on the 25 of the 9. As the Fast on the 10 of the 7 was 65 before the Desolation on the 15 of the 9. As the Fast for the Seige on the 10 of the 10 was 65 before the Last of Purim Thus the Passeover was 52 Dayes Before Pentecost the 52 d After Pass As the Fast for Jeroboams Sins was 50 Dayes before Doomsday the 52 d before the Feast of Trumpets And Nehems New Jerusalem was finished in 52 Dayes as weeks of a year or 1260 Hours which are Dayes 52. ½ As 1290 Hours come up to Noon of 54 Dayes Signal To the Jews For Reading the Law in 54 Sections As the City was Burnt 54 Dayes before the Feast of Trumpets And their annuall Fast for Aarons Death was 54 Dayes before the 24 or 25 of the 6 month For Creation in the Talmud and the 2 d Temple in Hag As for Finishing the City in Nâ—h 6. 15. But he was at Jerusalem 3 dayes before he began to work and so 54 or 55 Dayes which make 1290 or 1335 Hours As the Feast of Trumpets was so many Hours After the Day before the City Fired in the last of Kings As Pentecost was 1335 Hours After the first of the Day of Tryal which was 1290 Hours before the Preparation to Pentecost which was 1260 Hours from the Preparation to the Passover which was the first of Hamans Lots and Plots against the Jews As Ester 3. 12. 1260 Dayes are 3 years and 6 Months Ending at the 7th For Release of Hirelings Deut. 18. Esay 16. Or beginning the year in the 7th month As it did in Civils They come out in the 1st month or 1st Pass As 1290 Days in the 2 d month or 2 d Passover And brought up the 3. years Tithes and Offerings with One of the Solemn Confessions and Doxologies in Deut. 26. And the other came with the First Born and First Fruits of Wheat in the 3 d. Month about the Pentecost Which was 1335 Dayes From the said year so beginning in the 7th Month As 1335 Hours From the 1st Hour of the Day of Tryal But 1260 Hours From the Preparation to the Pass-over And for Years The Ark was at Zion in 1260 and the Temple was 1290 Or 1335 From the First Desolation of the Flood As Nehems New Jerus about 1260 from Jacob or 1290 from Joseph in Aegypt or 1335 from Jacobs Flight To Laban As the Dedication in the Macabs was just 1335 from Aegypt or the Golden Calf and 1290 from Their Setling in Canaan or 1260 From their First Bondage of 7 or 8 years To Mesopotamia Typing These 7. Prophetick years as 70. years in Babylon and 70 more To Nehemiahs Times And just 1260 years before the Christians Took Jerusalem A Type of the New Jer. to come And for Dayes also The City was Profaned by Antiocbus but 1260 Days or 3 years and half The Temple was clensed by Judas and Antiochus Dead in 1290 Dayes Azotus Taken and All cleared in 1335. As the Machabes and Jacob Cap. But Eupator got the Tower of Zion and Nicanor Swore to Burn the Temple So that All was not Fully Cleansed Till He was slain in 2300 Dayes from the First Profanation As in Dan. 8. 2300 Dayes are 6 years and as many Dayes As From the 15 of the 9th Month when the Temple was Profaned To the 13 of the 12th For Nicanor slain As Haman before And 2300 Hours come to the Evening Sacrifice of the 96 Day in which Time the Sun cometh from the Vernal Equinex To his Highest Apogeum As From the City Taken by the Caldees on the 9th of the 4th month To the Great Feast of Tabernacles on the 15 of the Seventh And in Lunar Months 2300 days are 6 years and 6 Months Coming to the Great Day of Creation or Finishing the 2 d Temple and Nehems New Jerus the 25 of the 6 Month. Or To the Beginning of the 7th with its Feast of Trumpets and Solemn Release and Feast of Tabernacles kept by Nehemiah So that 2300 Dayes are a Piece of the Law of Release which was a part of the 4th Command For the Lords Sabbath Which may be the Sum of All the Second Table As we saw before And From the Blood of Righteous Abell or First Bondage of the Church of God To the Coming out of Aegypt Or From the Great Declension of the Church In Jareds Time as his Name imports To Davids Zion Or from Enochs Birth To Solomon or from Enochs Translation To Josiah Or from the Flood To our Saviour there were much about
And Though 600 was a Common Number As 600 Danits Sacking Lâ—â—hish and the Guard of Saul Or David was 600 As the Reliques of Benjamin Cum Sexeentis aliis in a Proverb yet It might hint out Times also As from Abel to Enoch From Jared to Noah From Noah to the Flood From the Flood to Jacobs Death From Jacob to David and thence almost 600 To the 2 d Temple Finished Which stood 600 years As it had 600 Pillers in Jâ—sephus and the First Temple Targets of 600. David had 600 Men to follow him but recoverd his Wives and others of Ziglag by 400 As it was 400 years from entring into Canaan And the Temple Pillers had 400 Pomgranats with so many Granes perhaps as Hours in a Year For the Poets Proserpina did tast 7 Granes as the Moon was 7 Hours below the Horizon And the Pomgranat is the Badg of Canaan in the Hand of Jupiter Cossins They are Rimmons in Heb. as the 400 Benjamites at Rimmon And Solomons Rimmons in the Canticles and on his Pillers may denote years from Boaz or Jachin in the 24 Courses of the 24th of Cron. to another Jachin with Eliashiâ— As the First was whose Names do signifie God will bring Back and build up and Establish And Those Pillers stood 400 years As the Square of his Altar was 400 Cubits And so some reckon his Walks about the Temple Courts a Furlong or 400 Cubits And to come to the Bible Cubits Noahs Ark was 300 Cubits long and 50 broad And Noah lived 300 and 50 from the Flood As also 300 and 50 to Abraham at Terahs 130. But Cubits are for days of 24 Digits in 2 Spans with Jews and Others As the Great Egyptian King had his Sepulcher Circled with a Ring of 365 Cubits as Days in a year And as the month had 30 days and then the Moon is Hid as the First Light was hid in 30 Hours So the Ark had 30 Cubits Height And so 300 Cubits Long may be 300 months which by 50 Broad do make 1250 years of 30 days to a month Or if All had not full 30 days they may be 1260. Or if we must allow another Cubit closing up the Ark at Top as some reckon it they may come up to 1290 or 1335. And so the Cubits of the Ark may represent the years it should be Driven by the Flood out of the Dragons mouth and be filled with Beasts rather then men and be Trodden by them And if Abraham was born at Terahs 70 then 1250 or 1260 years of the 1st Ark brought up the 2 d to Zion and 1290 the Temple But if Abraham was born at 130 then the Temple was 1335 from the Flood which was 350 years before Terahs 130. And 350 with 75 430 and 480 do make up just 1335. As from Jacobs Flight or Service Till Nehemiahs New Jerusal or from the Golden Calf or Image of the Beast in the Psalm To the Great Dedication in the Machabes And the Sons of Both Elams in Ezra and Nehemiah were 1254. but 6 less then 1260 or 6 more then the Hours of 52 Days of Nehemiahs New Jerus As years from Israel in Egypt And whether Abrahams Birth was at 70 or 130 yet it may be just 2000 years before our Saviour As 2000 Cubits in the Levites City Suburbs and 2000 Cubits from the Camp to the Ark and 2000 Cubits in their Sabbath Days Journey As their Comments on Ruth and Josua And Cubits might come to represent years As days are years in the Prophets and the word for days is also for years and so may Cubits also Though the Ark had Bulk enough to shew them in their proper use The Tabernacles Length as the Arks Height 30 by 10 in breadth 300 as the Arks Length and by 10 in Height 3000. that is 2000 as the Levites Cities Arks Distance and Sabbaths Journey in the 1st Holy place and 1000 in the Oracle Parted by a Veile of 10 by 10 or 100 As the First 100 years of Christs Body Rent as the Vaile at his Passion in the 1st Tearing of Christians and Jews also From the City Sacked To the Revelation or the Vaile Removed and Ark appearing as Revel 11. 19. 1000 Cubits in the Oracle may hint the 1000 years of Christ in Rev. 20. As there were 1000 years between the Temple and his Birth Or from the Rev. Time unto the Christians taking Jerusalem As a Type of the New Jerusalem The Tabernacles Court as Ezekiels 100 being added to the former 3000 They make 3100. as years from Abrahams Birth to the Christians Taking Jerusalem or from this Tabernacle at Shiloh To the Times in which we live And the Cubits of the Court before the Tabernacle as the years to Shiloh 45. 100 by 50 broad are 5000 As the Greatest Church in the Acts and 5000 fed at once by Christ as the Tabernacles Court by 100 and 50. As 5000 years from Adam or Abel To the Christians at Jerusalem Or from Enoch To These Present Times Each side 100 by 5 in height 500. As Each Side of the Temple Court and so we may part the 2000 years from Abraham to Christ by 500 To the Tabernacle and 500 more To the First Temple finished with All its Courts as 1 King 7. Where also the House of Lebanon is As this Tabernacle 30 50 100 500 To the 2 d Temple and 500 more to our Saviour The Inward Curtains of 28 Cubits as the month of Weeks but the outward 30 As the Ark Tabernacle and Temple As their months of 30 days And so they say Moses left his first Song in 30 lines his 2 d in 70. These may shew How long the Church should be in Veyls or Skins of Beasts To hold it in and Press it down As the Ark before 10 Inward Curtains by 28 280 and by 4 in breadth 1120. and As they may be years After Christ To the Christians Reigning in Jerusalem So they may be years Before and perhaps During the First Monarchy For the 2 d and 3 d are Here in their proper Skins of Rams and Goats as in Daniel and the Romans in the Badger Or in Heb. Tax Tachs or Tahash Of the Same Name with one from the Concubine Reuma Ruma Roma Gen. 22. 24. And from Enoch To Jacoh were as many years as Cubits in the Inward Curtains 1120. And from Jacobs Birth or Abrahams Death To the Tabernacle were as many years as Cubits in its Outer Curtains 330. that is 11 by 30. As there were also 330 years from the Tabernacle to Sampson Or from the Ark at Shiloh To its Taking by the Philistins And 330 Hours of the year come just to Noon of the Passover and 330 days from Passover to Purim The 50 Tacks and Loops of the Curtains may hint the 50 days and Nights between the Passover and Pentecost as 50 Weeks in the Lunar years or 50 years before the Solemn Meetings at Shiloh or Sechem where they were All Tackt together 330 by
to the Pâ—rch And from Alexanders Death to the Death of the Great Antiochus 135 years and Then to the Birth of Christ 187. As from Epiphanes To the Baptism Or From Nicanors Death To the Death of Christ which was from Alexanders Death or Taking Babylon As many years As there be Or they Reckoned Days in a year And Thus the 500 Cubits from the Eastern Gate to the Western might denote So many years From the First Temple Founded To the 2 d and From the 2 d to the 3 d by Herod Or at least To the Times of Herod and Copâ—nius a Great Roman Governour in Judea Friend to Herod in the Western Gate of Coponius As Mark Antony in the Tower of Antonia And we cannot doubt the Time of Nicanors Death or of Antiochus in the Machabes which tell us Judas heard the Romans had beaten Antiochus and Philip and Perseus the Last King of Macedon which is clear enough from a Great Eclips about the Last Battle in so many That tell us also that Afterwards Popilius went From Aemilius To Antiochus Who had not else been so Easily Charmed in a Circle with a Riding Rod. In That Rage as Daniel foretold he leaveth Egypt and prophanes the City and the Temple in the year 145 and dyeth After Judaâ— Cleansed it in 148. And Nâ—â—anor followed in 151 or 2300 days As Antiochus dyed 1290 Days After the City Profaned At Olymp. 153. Soon after the Last Battle with Persâ—us And Nicanor was Slain in the 7th year After or about Olympid 155 and 188 years more come to Olympiad 202 and we all agree that Christ Dyed Before the 203 d Olympiad And before the year of Christ 1100 the Christians took Antioch Which might mind them of Antiochus and Him that made the Jews Free Denezons of Antioch as they were when the Christians First in Antioch as Josephus and soon After Antioch They Took Jerusalem 1260 years after Antiochus As a Type of the New Jerusalem 1260 years After Antichrist Shadowed by Antiochus In 30 more or 1290 From Antiochus They had Gotten Tyre also and Caesarea and at length Ascalon and Gaza So that in 45 years the Christians were Lords of Canaan As the Jews in 45 After Egypt As Daniels 45 between 1290 and 1335. Till Almerich joyned with the Turks and against his Faith Invaded Egypt and at length his Posterity lost the Kingdom To Saladine of Egypt And although there were more Titular Kings of Jerusalem yet they did Little One being a Leper and another Depozed for Laziness And the War diverted Thence Against the Albigenses And Jerusalem was Sackt again about 135 years After the Christians had it And again After the Sicilian Vespers and before the First Roman Jubilie the Rise of Ottoman 1300. The Porch and House and Oracle were 70 Cubits As the Dedication 70 Days from the First of Tabernacles and the 3 d Days Minha was as 70 Hours And to Measure All the Bible Times by 70 years The 7th Man Enoch was Translateed 7 years After 7 times 70 Doubled at 987. Abrahams Birth or Terahs 70 was not Twice 7 lesse then 28 as Enoch 14 70. And The Promise to Abraham 7 lesse then 29 times 70. David was Jesses 7th Son and from Abraham 14 His 70 years was just the 14th 70 from Abrahams Birth 75. 430. 475 in all 980. And from Daids Death To the Captivity 6 times 70 and 70 more To Their Return From the City Sackt To Ezra Twice 70 and 7 times 70 more or Daniels Weeks To our Saviours Death And so there was between the 2 d of Darius Nothus where some place the 2 d Temple To the City Sackt by Titus in the 70th year of Christ And as we saw All Changes by 3 in 6 or 9 in the Watches So is 1260 found to be 3 times 6 or twice 9 times 70. the Great Age in the Ps that saith The Days of our years are 70 years As if Every year were 70. The 70 Cubits of the Temple Floor were Higher then the First Gate Shushan by 22 Cubits and 22 times 70 years are but 45 more then Christs Birth was after the Tabernacle Reared 45 years before it came to Shiloh The Altar 22 Cubits from the Porch and from the Gate of Nicanor also 22. As 22 Letters and 22 Hours at the Dayly Minha 22 Days of the 1st and 7th month for Dismissing and Blessing the People Solomons Altar 20 Cubits square or 400 by 10 in height 4000 As the Cubits of Ezechiels Waters are 4000. As 4000 years of the World to Christ or the Great Pentecost in Act. 2 d. As the First Fruits of the Spirit Or from Noahs Ark To these Times and a few years farther The Porch 10 and 120 as before 1200. As the Hours between the Passover and Pentecest And so the Temple 60 long by 20 Broad 1200 But the 2 d Temple 60 by 60 3600. As the years from the Promise Till 1670 or 1675. The Holy Courts in length 333 Cubits As Hours to the Passover and Days of Hamans Lots To Purim and years from the Ark at Zion To the Sack of Samaria Or Seige of Jerusalem by Senacherib Or from the 1st Temple to Manasses carryed Captive Or from Solomon to Josiah and 333 more to Alexanders coming to the Temple much about 333 before our Saviour To these Holy Courts They did go up by Steps of 7 Cubits in Ezek. and Josephus from the Court of the Gentiles who were to Tread these Holy Courts 333 by 7 or 666 by 3 and an half or 2331 years And Daniels Vision of 2300 was 31 years after the Chaldean Sack in the 19th of Nebuchadnezar Who reigned 43 or 44 and Evilmerodack 2 as Berosus in Josephus and Daniel had his Vision in the 3 d of Belshazzar Son to Nebuchadnezar or at least his Nephew and Born before the Captivity As in Baruchs Epistles Where are also divers parts of Daniels Prayer And the 5 Steps up to the Womens Court of 135 do make 675 the very years from Daniels Captivity to the City Sackt by Titus 666 from the Chaldean Sack which held them but 60 years As the 60 Cubits of the Golden Image in Daniel And 60 by 6 in Bredth is 360 As Days in a year or years from Their Return to Antiochus And this Image is Father to that of 666. As the Talents of Gold to Solomen and Sons to Adonikam in Ezra 666. 15 Steps for the 15 Psalms of Degrees do make the Inward Court of 187 to be 2705. As years from the 1st Temple to These Times and the Outer Court of 135 at the Gate of Nicanor 2025. And 2025 years do come from Nicanor There with Alexander Till 1695 which may be very Signall For the Little Horn from Alex. also For if That or the 2 d Woe be the House of Ottoman with Horses Spitting Fire or Gunpowder Their Hower-glass may be Out at 1695 or sooner being a Year and a Month and a Day and an Hour from 1300 the
