A89794	Napiers narration: or, an epitome of his booke on the Revelation. Wherein are divers miste[r]ies disclosed, touching the foure beasts, seven vials, seven trumpets, seven thunders, and seven angels, as also a discovery of Antichrist: together with very probable conjectures touching the the [sic] time of his destruction, and the end of the world. A subject very seasonable for these last times.; Plaine discovery of the whole Revelation of Saint John	Napier, John, 1550-1617.	1642 (1642)	Wing N153; Thomason E144_7; ESTC R212729	11,334	23

be 1335 propheticall dayes which are so many yeares whose beginnings are determined in these words and 〈◊〉 the time that ●he daily sacrifice shall cease and the Abomination pu● to desolation or made desolate shall be 1290 dayes blessed is he that awaiteth and abideth to the 1335. day as if he would say from that time that both the Iewish dayly sacrifice shall utter●y cease and the abominable rites of the Gentiles bee abolish d to the compleating of the great resurrection from the Antichristian errours and utter decay of his Kingdome shall be 1290. yeares and then blessed shall hee bee that abideth and remaineth constant in the small ●ime tha● shall bee betwixt that and the latter day which shall fall in the 1335. yeare from the taking away of the said Iewish Ceremonies and Gentil●s su●…ersti●ions but so it is that these were neither actu●lly taken away by ●hrists Passion neither in the destruction of Ierusalem nor otherwaies till miraculously in the dayes of Julian the Apostate Anno Christi 365. This Apostate having in despite of Christ ordained the Jewes to build up and repaire their Temple of Ierusalem on the one part and on the other part having sent his Legats to offer sacrifice in the chiefe Ethnick Temple of the Gentiles in Delphos and to consult with that Oracle of Apollo there God sent his Thunder from above and Earth-quake from beneath and thereby overwhelmed both those chiefe Temples about one time so utterly that to this day all the Iewish daily sacrifice of the one and the abominable Ethnick superstitions of the other have ceased and beene put to utter confusion and desolation but if after the opinion of some learned men this Text doth meane in the Originall Hebrew not the abomination to be put in desolation but contrarily a desolating and wasting Abomination to bee set up together also with the taking away the former and foresaid daily sacrifice in this case apearing by the same date is not the lesse established for who was a more horrible and wasting Abomination then was the aforesaid Iulian that bloud-thirsty Apostate together with his detestable Idolatrous Magicall decrees which publickly he acted and set up to bring Christianisme to utter desolation so that howsoever this abomination be expounded either passively to bee made desolate as the Gentiles cheefe abominable and Idolatrous Oracle of Apollo at that time was made desolate or actively that the abomination should make a wasting or desolation and that that wasting Abomination should be then erected as the abominable Tyrant and Apostate Iulian was promoted Emperour and his cruell decrees of persecution at that time set out even alwaies in that very same yeare 365. all the foresaid Accidents occurred for in that one yeare both first the foundations of the Iewish Temple of daily sacrifice as secondly in the passive sense the said Temple of the Ethnicks Abominations in Delphos were by Thunder and Earthquake both destroyed as thirdly in the Active sence that abominable Iulian and his decrees for desolating and devouring Gods servants were then set up Therefore from this yeare of Christ 365. wee are commanded to reckon 1335. yeares which falls in Anno 1700. And then saith Daniel verse the 6. shall be the end of all wonders even the wondrous and great day of the Lord but yet as this prophesie doth abridge the aforesaid prophesie of Elias so also Christs foresaid saying in Matthew that came after this prophesie doth apparantly abridge somewhat of this time therefore as men said before every thundering Angell of three contained 49. yeares and then comes the great day of the Lord and we proved that the first thundering Angell began in Anno 1541. to which add thrice 49. years which is 147. yeares and so by that account the latter day will fall in Anno 1688. wherfore appearingly betwixt this 1688. according to the Revelation and the 1700. yeare according to Daniel the said latter day should fall and for further confirmation thereof there is a number put in the end of the 14. Chapter of the Revelation which appeares to be a date of the latter day for that Chapter altogether speaks of the Lords great harvest and latter Iudgement there saith Iohn the blood came out of the Winepresse unto the horse bridles by the space of 1600. stades or courses as if appearingly he would meane Metaphorically as Wine may bee thought to flow from the Presse or the bloud of slaine men in a Field to ascend to the horse bridles so eternally shall the torment of the wicked ascend after that a thousand and sixe hundred yeares bee accomplished for these stades agree well to meane yeares seeing a stade is that Race or course that one may bee thought to run with one breath before he begin to renew his breath again● as one yeare is that race or course that the Sunne maketh in a circuit before he begin to renew his circuit againe now counting therefore a thousand and sixe hundred yeares from the time that this was written which was about the 97. yeare of Christ as Eusebius in his Chronicle saith or in the end of the reigne of Domitian as Freneus saith which was in Anno Christi 199. the end of the account shall fall about the year of Christ 1697. or the yeare 1699. which is betwixt the said terme 1688. and 1700. and so the difference of these dates is but small and if the time of Histories were surely written and observed it may be thought that the difference would be either lesse or utterly nothing at all Rol. Well Sir you have fully satisfied me concerning this point as also concerning the ruine of Antichrist yet one thing more I desire to be further satisfied in before we part and that is how it is manifest that the Pope is that Antichrist spoken of in Scripture Nap. That is manifest first in that all the notes and tokens of Antichrist given us by the Scriptures are most evident properties of the Pope secondly by the notable contrarieties betweene Christ and the Pope Rol. First then I pray you shew how the notes of Antichrist in Scripture and properties of the Pope agree together Nap. First the Apostle saith 2 Thess 2. Antichrist must be the head of that Apostacie or falling away from the truth and it is well knowne that Chrysostome Augustine Theodoret Theophalect and Oecumenius by that Apostacy understand Antichrist yea Bellarmine himselfe affirmeth that by Apostacie in that place Antichrist himselfe may be fitly understood Secondly the same Apostle in the same place saith that Antichrist shall exalt himselfe against all that is called God and so doth the Pope stile himselfe God and causeth Emperors and Kings to kisse his feet yet Pope Alexander the third trode with his feet upon the head of Frederick Barbarossa Thirdly in the same Chapter it is said that Antichrist shall come with all deceivablenesse of unrighteousnesse therefore Antichristianisme is called the Mystery of iniquity so that the impietie of

thundring Angels all at once compleateth the day of Iudgement Nap. In the 14. Chapter verse 14. and 16. it is said that the fourth thundring Angel which is Christ himselfe enters actually into his great Harvest to gather up his Elect at the warning of the fifth Angel even Gods holy spirit ver 15. like as contrarily the sixt thundring Angel executor of Gods fierce wrath mentioned vers 17. and 19. is admonished and warned by the seventh Angel commander thereof to cut downe and 〈…〉 the Vines of the earth in the winepresse of Gods 〈◊〉 and so by these foure last Angels or Thunders 〈…〉 Christ himself and by his whole ministring Angel● 〈◊〉 the figure of these last Angels all the 〈…〉 of Gods harvest and latter Iudgement is accomplis●●● Rol. And when did the first of the three first 〈◊〉 Iubile begin Nap. Even as I said before the last of the seven s … and the first of the seven Trumpets began both at once in the yeare of Christ 71. so in like manner the last of the seven Trumpets and the first of the seven thunders began both at once in the yeare of Christ 1541. Rol. What moves you to think it beginneth that yeare Nap. In the 11. Ch. v. 15. it is said that at the blast of the 7th Trumpet the Kingdome of the World becommeth Christ his Kingdome that is then the Kingdome of Antichrist all other prophane Kingdoms shall fall and Christ his Kingdom shall be spred and inlarged over all and this can no other way come to passe then by the preaching of the Evangel which was of new opened up and preached at the comming of the first Angel whom the Text saith to have an everlasting Gospel to preach unto them that dwell upon the earth which Angel as I said before is manifest to be the first of the seven thunders therfore it followeth consequently that the new restoring of the Evangell the seventh trumpet or Viall and the first thunder or thundring Angel come all at once even in Anno Christi 1541. About which yeare God stirred up openly his first Ministers and servants Luther Calvin Melancthon and others ver 6.7 to preach out during all this Iubile the perfect verity of the Gospel publikely which before was hid and obscured under the Antichristian Reigne so that now the true Church lurketh no more but Gods truth to all the world is made apparant by these Ministers teaching them according to the Text to feare God onely and leaving all other superstitious worshipping to give glory onely unto him Rol. And when did this first of these 3. Iubiles end Na. If you reckon you shall easily find that it ended in Ann. Christi 1590. And then came the second of the seven thundring Angels ver 8. declaring even presently the horrible fall and decay to become of that figurative Babylon and great Antichristian City about which time to wit the end of the first Iubile and beginning of the second God hath shewed marvellous indices that the Empire of Rome and Papisticall Kingdome shall shortly fall the Antichristian and Spanish Fleet is destroy'd the late King of France Duke of Guize and his Brother Papists and Committers of the Parisian Massacre all murthered by other a Protestant now made King of France so that before the end of this Iubile God willing Rome and the whole Papisticall Kingdome thereof shall be ruined Rol. And what yeare shall this second Iubile end Nap. In the yeare 1639. Rol. And what followes upon that Nap. After that comes the third Iubile or the third thundring and threatning Messengers openly and loudly threatning that if any be now that doe worship or reverence that Antichristian Empire or that receive the old superstitious marks thereof on their foreheads or on their hands the same shall drinke of Gods wrath so that in this third Jubile the Ministers and Messengers of God shall God-willing have only the latter dregs of that Romish seat to admonish and threaten by open intimation that if any be in whose hearts the reverence of that ruined Empire or if any now be marked with Chrisme or Crosse on hand or head he shall be tormented eternally in the fire of Hell Rol. Well Sir now I see plainely that if we add to 1639. 49. yeares then according to your account the day of Iudgement appears to fall about 1688. I had not thought it could have bin so plainly proved by Scripture Nap. I doe assure my selfe that all the prophesies of the latter day shall be knowne and manifested to Gods Church before Christ come to Iudgement and if we doe conferre all prophesies and propheticall figures thereof together wee shall find them come so neere to that time that verily the matter is wonderfull Rol. I pray Sir proceed on to doe it Nap. First as touching the Cimball of the Saboth it is thought by the most learned that the six dayes of labour weekly observed doth meane and beare the simball of 6000. yeares that mankind shall endure the travells and cares of this world and that is confirmed by Peter who speaking of the day of Iudgement noteth that a thousand yeares shall bee as one day in Gods sight and a day as a thousand yeares and so consequently the sixe dayes of worke to represent sixe thousand yeares after the which sixe thousand yeares of worldly cares and travells then shall come our eternall Saboth and rest in the glory of Heaven signified by the seaventh dayes rest for that truely there is no institution apointed by God to Moses which besides the civell commodity had not also a spirituall figure and sure it is that no figure agreeth more consonant with these sixe dayes of work and seventh day of rest then the present miseries of this world and eternall Saboth hereafter secondly agreeable to the former there is a sentence of the house of Elias reserved in all Ages bearing these words the world shall stand sixe thousand yeares and then it shall be consumed with fire two thousand yeares voyd or without Law two thousand yeares under the Law and two thousand yeares shall be the dayes of the Messias and for our offences which shall be manyand great shall these yeares lacke which shall lack thus farre saith Elias Now the terme of these sixe thousand yeares doth expire about the 2000. yeare of Christ which terme both by the said saying of Elias and by Christs owne saying in Mathew appeareth to be shortned and therefore thirdly by Daniell wee shall aproach neerer that terme for he in his 12. chap. intreating both of the first Resurrection which is the Resurrection from the Antichristian errours and of the second Resurrection which is the generall resurrection from the dead such an Angell as afterward appeareth to Iohn Rev. 10. teaching him concerning the latter day doth here apeare to Daniel swearing solemly a terme of propheticall dayes to every one of those questions doubled of by the Prophet of which the greatest terme is expressed to
