A77670	A brief survey of the prophetical and evangelical events of the last times: VVherein that which principally is insisted on, is the prophetical little horn, or man of sin, and evangelical beast, and his seven heads and ten hornes. Shewing by the Scriptures what they be, when their rise, what their work, how long their continuance, and their end and ruine. Much differing from former and common interpretations hereupon. Wherein also those prophecies are briefly touched which concern the persecution of the saints, the falling away of the churches, the night of darknesse, the virgins going forth to meet the bridegroom, the mystical whore, the preaching of the Gospel of the kingdome to all the world, and the gathering of the Jewes into their own land. Being a portion of the paines in searching of the holy Scriptures by several members of the congregation of Orpington in Kent. And now published for the comfort of all those that have an interest in the Lord Jesus Christ, and wait, look for, and long after his coming, Tit. 2. 11, 12, 13. / By Capt. John Brovvne a member of that congregation.	Browne, John, Captain.	1655 (1655)	Wing B5117; Thomason E826_18; ESTC R207735	43,228	58

Then 〈◊〉 the ●uccessor if not Son of Shalm●ness●r in the fourteenth yeer of King H●zekiah comes up with a great Army against the fenced Cities of Iudah and takes them to whom Hezekiah is willing to submit and therefore sends him great presents and for want of his own borrowes from the Temple But the King of Assyria is not content therewith and therefore sends an Army under the Command of his Captaines Tartan Rabsaris Rabshakeh to Ierusalem to take it either by words or deeds 2 Kings 18. 17. to the end But these not being able to prevail return to their Master the King of Assyria who was warring against Libnah from whence he sends Messengers with a blasphemous Letter to King Hezekiah with which he goeth up to the House of the Lord and prayeth the efficacy whereof was such that that night the Angel of the Lord destroyes 185000. men in the Assyrian Host who returning with the remaining number to his own Land and City Nineveh is there slain ●y two of his own Sons as he is worshipping in the Temple of Nisroch his God and Ezrahaddon his Son reigneth in his stead verse 36 37. Now that the Assyrian alone was the next great Monarch or chief Government of Note in the world to the Assyrian and Babylonian together we doe prove not onely by what hath been related as to what four of those Kings did but also for these insuing reasons grounded upon History and Scripture First from History Pull whom the Scripture mentions 1 Chron. 5. 26. who was but Sardanapulus Lieutenant in Babylon and conspiring with Arbaces another of his Lieutenants in Media who was incited thereunto partly by the Prediction of this Pull and partly by his own in that having had a sight of the Person of his King found him disguised in womans apparel striving to counterfeit an Harlot these two after several battels overthrew him and beseiging him in this great City Niniveh by the overflowing of the River Tysris whereby twenty furlongs of that great wall was overthrown they take the City but not their Master for he finding himself in a lost condition shuts up him●●lf in his Pallace with his Wives Eunuches and all his Treasures and sets fire thereunto whereby both he and they were all consumed After which the Median is content with his own Government of Media but Pull and his Posterity are not with theirs till they get possession of that great City Nineveh which they make the Seat of their Monarchy and therefore is called the Assyrian alone to distinguish it from the First whose chief City in Nimrods time was Babylon Second Reason Because the Scripture mentions a larger extent of dominion to this second Monarchy then unto the first For we doe not find that Nimrods dominion did extend Westward from the River Euphrates that is into Syria if it did it was but of short continuance but this of Pulls doth and that very farre even to the Land of Israel and Iudah whose Lot was bounded by the Mediteranean Sea Ioshua 15. 12. called the great Sea And we find that Media that was under Nimrods posterity and after usurped by Arbac●s is a great part if not all brought under by the Assyrian For Shalmanessar who carries the remaining part of the ten Tribes captive placeth some of them in the Cities of the Medes 2 Kings 17. 6 And the Prophet Ezekiel speaking unto Pharaoh in the Name of the Lord maketh mention of the greatnesse of the Assyrian Ezek. 31. 2. to the 10 verse as also of his fall and ruine by the Caldean chap. 32. 11 12. which makes way for the third Head or Monarchy The third Head of the Beast is the Caldean Monarchy whose foundation was laid in the dayes of Berodach Baladan the Son of Balladan who sent unto Hezekiah King of Iudah both Letters and a Present 2 King 20. 12. which was in or about the fifteenth year of Hezekiah's raign for in his fourteen year Sennacherib the King of Assyria invades Iudea 2 Kings 18. 13. And after the great losse of 185000. he returnes into his own Land In those dayes Hezekiah falls sick 2 Kings 20 1. upon whose earnest prayer and the Promise of God to David for Hezekiah had no Son as yet that the Scripture mentions and Manasseh his Successor was not born in three yeares after for he was but twelve yeers old when he began to raign 2 Kings 21. 1. the Lord ●nds him a Message by the Prophet Esay that he would adde fifteen yeares to his dayes and a sign for his recovery is that the Sun should goe ten degrees backward by which it had gone down in the Dyall of Ahaz 2 Kings 20. 6 11. and the whole raign of Hezekiah was but twenty nine yeers 2 Kings 18. 2. Now though the Scripture be silent as to inform us how Berodash Baladan came to be King of Babylon yet we find that both he and the Caldeans take notice of Hezekiahs sicknesse and recovery with that great sign in the Heaven of the Suns going backward the Caldeans being famous in Astronimie and naturall Astrologie as well as infamous for their divellish Astrologie which was in or about the fifteenth year of his raign which as it was the last of Sennacheribs so it was the first of Berodash for we read in the Scripture of no King of Babylon since Nimrod to this time not but that Babylon was a famous City all along And if we may give credit to Sir Walter Rawleigh of whose extraordinary travell in searching of Histories of all Ages past to the finishing of that excellent piece of his called the Hystory of the World that this Berodash or as he cass him as also the Geneva Translation Merodash took time by the foretop and laid hold on the present opportunity that offered it self which was this Merodash was Lieutenant in Babylon under Sennacherib whose head City was Niniveh who having warres in Syria and Aegypt had levied a very great Army and having been forced to raise his Seige from before Pelusium in Aegypt and that not without some losse and more disgrace through the coming of Tirhaba King of Ethiopia or Arabia to the aid of the Aegyptian he was the more desirous to have had possession of Ierusalem to have retreated unto with his Army but failing of his purpose sends a great part thereof to beseige it with the rest he beseigeth Lachish and afterwards Lib●ah 2 Kings 19. 8. of which Army presently after the Angell of the Lord destroyes in one night 185000. verse 35 upon which he returnes with the remaining
