1260 days will also end together The grounds of this conception I shall after lay down in the distinct handling of these Numbers and 't will be of great Use to clear this because if we can't find out the right Epocha of every one of these numbers yet if we can find the Epocha of one of them by that we shall know when all the rest will end I shall take notice of these numbers distinctly but chiefly insist upon one of them viz. the 1290 days and endeavour to find out the Epocha of it for I think the great mistake hitherto hath been about its Epocha First of the Number 2300 days Dan. 8.14 some would understand days here in a proper sence and so take them as setting out the time of Antiochus Epiphanes his Persecutions but this is very improbable for seeing that the other numbers mentioned in Daniel are taken by general consent for so many years why should not these be so taken also And besides Antiochus his Persecutions were but for six years as Pererius hath shewn out of the First Book of Macchabes But 2300 days make six years three Months and twenty days This appears farther by considering who is meant by the little Horn Dan. 8.9 who should tread down the Sanctuary and host till the 2300 days should be finished Now Antiochus Epiphanes was not this little Horn seeing the Characters do no way agree to him For 1. 'T is a little Horn at his first Rise and afterward waxes great But it 's evident that Antiochus was great at first being the Son of Antiochus Magnus who left him a great Kingdom 2. This little Horn was to wax great to the South and to the East and to the Pleasant Land but Antiochus did not so not to the East for he was put to flight and expelled out of the East by the Citizens of Elamis in Persia Not in the South for he had a repulse in Egypt by the Captains of Ptolomeus and was forced thence by the threats of Popilius the Romane Ambassador and after his Cruelties in Judea his Armies were overthrown and put to flight by the Jews and their Captain Judas Macchabaeus 3. The acts of this little Horn are extended to the time of the end yea the last time of Indignation v. 17. At the time of the end shall be the Vision That is its fulfilling And I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the Indignation the same end with that Chap. 11.35.40 Chap. 12.4.9.13 by this it is evident that Antiochus Epiphanes was not this little Horn and therefore the days are not meant of the time of his persecution Neither was the fourth Monarchy when it first became so this little Horn. For the Roman Power was very great before the Grecian Monarchy was subdued by it so great that it awed much Antiochus as appears by what was said of Popilius Neither was the first Beast or Antichrist in his first estate as Pope and as being in his Seat at Rome this little Horn for he never did wax great to the East and to the South and to the pleasant Land but onely in the West therefore we must conclude that the second Beast spoken of Rev. 13. shall be this little Horn which shall wax great to the East and to the South and to the pleasant Land 'T is said v. 24. He shall destroy the mighty and holy people and also he shall stand up against the Prince of Princes he shall not onely stand up against Christ in his Members but also which shews it to be another distinct standing up he shall stand up against the Prince of Princes that is Christ in person Rev. 19.16 Obj. This little Horn must arise out of one of the four notable Horns of the Grecian Monarchy how then can we judge this little Horn to be the second Beast which rises up when the fourth Monarchy draweth very near to its end A. The little Horn will come forth in the last time of the fourth Monarchy and be the Head of it and as heretofore so then that which was under the Grecian Monarchy in part at least will come under the fourth Monarchy again and this little Horn will then arise out of one of the four Horns that is out of one of those Kingdoms or Countries which before made one of the four and we have most reason to conceive that in Graecia will be that Horn because 't is said that he shall wax great to the East and to the South and to the pleasant Land Obj. But it 's said Dan. 8.23 In the latter end of their Kingdom when the Trespassers are come to the full then shall the little Horn arise Their Kingdom what is that but the Graecian A. To this I spake somewhat formerly that this is to be understood so as that it shall be fulfilled in the time of the fourth Kingdom and 't is called their Kingdom because theirs did run into the Fourth and was in it Now to clear this more fully consider first That these Four Kingdoms in the first representation of them are set forth as one body appearing as a great Image of a Man the Head whereof was Gold the Breast and Arms of Silver the Belly and Thighs of Brass the Legs of Iron and the Feet part of Iron and part of Clay When the time of its destruction comes the Stone breaks all even the whole Image in pieces Dan. 2.35 Then was the Iron the Clay the Brass the Silver and the Gold broken to pieces together and became like the Chaff of the Summer Threshing-floors and the Wind carried them away that no place was found for them So then the latter end of the Fourth is the latter end of the Third yea and of the Second and first also Hence thirdly we may gather That all the Kingdoms all the Dominions and Powers which shall be in any of those Nations and Countries which formerly were or now are under any of the four Kingdoms represented in that Image standing in opposition against Christ shall be all smitten by the Stone and thus broken in pieces This will be the first work of the Stone which after this will become a great Mountain and fill the whole Earth Fourthly The smiting will begin at the Feet of Iron and Clay so 't is said Dan. 2.34 The Stone smote the Image upon the Feet that were of Iron and Clay and brake them in pieces The Head was in the East and other parts were in the East or towards the East the Legs Feet and Toes came down to the West Now they are the Feet and Toes that are first broken in pieces that is the Fourth Kingdom as in this Western part of the World in the destruction of the first Beast at Rome and the extream parts of the Toes will first be broken in pieces and then will the Stone proceed to the Legs Thighs Belly Breast Arms and Head till all be destroyed together And therefore as this great
