The Wonderful Confirm●tion of the Succession of the Kingdom of Christ at 1697 Deriv'd from the 42 Moons of the Beast then Ending Given by Prophecy so as to be Calculated according to the Famous Cycle of the Moon styl'd the Golden Number found out first by the Famous Athenian Astronomer Meton about the Year of the World 3574. Embraced by the Fathers of the Nicene Council about the Year of our Lord 325. for the settling their Antipaschal or Easter supposited to the True Christian Paschal of the Lord's Supper and of the Lord's Day Ordained by Christ Digested into these Propositions following Proposition 1. IT is evident Letter of Scripture That the Comprehensive Line of Time from Cyrus to the Kingdom of Christ or to the Sanctuary Cleans'd Given by Daniel very early c. 8. and therefore must needs comprize in it the 1260 Days and 42 Months is compos'd into Eves and so hath a Seed of Moons in them as Time of the Night Prop. 2. It is also as evident Letter of Scripture That the Prophecy of the Revelation Assigns Forty Two Moons to the Gentiles and Forty Two Moons to the Beast as Time of the Night to the Children of the Night and of Darkness Rev. 113. c. 13.5 Prop. 3. The same Prophecy hath out of the 2300 Morns in the same Vision of Daniel assign'd 1260 Days to the Witnesses and to the Woman the Church as Time of the Sun and of the Day as to the Children of the Light and of the Day c. 11.3 c. 12. Prop. 4. The Moon is said by the Psalmist Psal 104.19 to be Appointed for Seasons in their great Variety according to the many Wandrings of its Motion But the Sun * Sol viam suam novit Luna non item knows its Going down according to the Certainty and Steddiness of its Motion and Constancy to its own Path Words very little differing from that saying of the Wise The Sun knows its and is firm to it The Moon doth not so Prop. 5. Accordingly as th●●260 Days settled by the Spirit of Prophecy as the sure and steddy Gauge of Time so the Moons are fitted by the same Spirit of Prophecy to describe some Unevennesses and Inequalities in the State of the Apostacy viz. such as arise from the Beast's not coming into his Succession so soon as the Apostacy began To define which Time and what space it was and how it was supplied and born up the Moons of the Gentiles and of the Beast are of most peculiar particular and especial Use Prop. 6. One of the greatest Performances of Astronomy assisted by him who Teacheth Man Knowledge hath been to Adjust the Time of the Moon to the Time of the Sun that there might be both a double Character and Assurance of Time as by knowing not only what Year of the Sun but what proportionable Time of the Moon Answered to that of the Sun that there might be by the compare a Proportioning any Time Depending on the Moon to that of the Sun This after several former Attempts that fail'd was perfected by Meton near the Beginning of Daniel's Weeks and received by All the Knowing World since and Celebrated by that Great Name of the Golden Number or the Decem-Novennal Cycle the Cycle of Nineteen Years By which it is certainly found the Motion of the Sun takes up a Thirty Third Part more than the Moon apply it to whatsoever part of Time Apply it then to 1260 Days of Years of the Sun ●4● Moons are 38 Days of Years less than the 1260. But besides by applying the Proportions of the Golden Number to Any Year either of the Sun or of the Moon of which we have the certain Epoch or Time of Commencement or to any part of the same Year we may equal the Times of the Sun and of the Moon to one another by taking away a Thirty Third part of the Sun's Time or which is most Natural by Adding a Thirty Third part to the Moon because the Sun's Motion is the most steddy Gauge of Time And this is done by Adding an Allowed or Granted Proportion of Time as if it were Real Time and placing it as we find fittest for our purpose but under this Caution if it be publick Time it must be by publick Agreement as we double every Fourth Year a Day in the Latter End of the Twelfth Month we too Pagan-like call February not that so much is due to that Year Alone but to every one of the Four Years 〈◊〉 Fourth part to keep the Course of Time somewhat near equal And this is call'd Intercalation And thus Maimonides to adjust the Jewish New Moons to the Time of the Passover allows Seven Intercalary Moons to Seven Years in every Nineteen viz. 3.6 8 11 14 17. 19th year And to the very same purpose the Entring Antichristian Apostacy even at the Time of the Nicene Council made the same Use of this Cycle and took it in as Thought into the Service of Christianity when they were growing then to be the Synagogue of Sathan saying They are Jews in observing a Pasch or Easter in Remembrance of the Death and Resurrection of Christ but are not but do Lie For Christ ordain'd the Lord's Supper and the Lord's Day on purpose to Fore-prize such Humane Institutions upon Time But however this Golden Number hath herein all the Confirmation that can be it being wonderfully Order'd by Providence Time of the Moon should be made so Remarkable in such a Solemnity as that of Easter so great in the Antichristian Synagogue and on which in Victor the first Effort of Antichrist Fell and which is yet Retain'd in Protestant Churches that did not Reform lower than that Synagogue Rising in that Nicene Councel Prop. 7. There is just Reason seeing the Spirit of God hath positively Nam'd Moons taken out of the 2300 Eves which must needs be the Time therefore of the Moon to observe where the Beast's Moons begin and where they end The Succession of the Beast to the Seventh King but no Head is so positively declared Rev. 17. that it can be no way doubted or denied For that Those Seven Heads are Heads of the Roman Government and City Even the most Zealous Romanists that are Judicious neither do nor can so much as call into Question and hath been fully made out as also That the Law of Succession requires That the Heads and Kings should not enterfere but come orderly one after the other * God's Call out of Babylon So then the Beast that was the Eighth King must immediately succeed the Seventh but not enterfere with him or come before he was wholly Gone off Augustulus then being the Last of those Christian Emperors of Rome who made up the Seventh King when he went off immediately the Eighth King came on at 38 years after the 1260 days of years began or at Just Two Nineteens Order'd by Providenceso to Lead by the Golden Number to Time of the Moon That being at 475. ending and in the Year 476. the proportion of Lunar Time will Allow but 1222 Years to the Forty Two Months of Years So then hereby it is most certainly known that the Beast's Reign must End at 1697 For so 1222 Added to 475 make And thus that so Celebrated Golden Number Assures the Kingdom of Christ in its Succession at 1697. seeing the same Law of Succession holds in the Kingdom of Christ that as in all Successions Admits no Gap And then according to the Law of Intercalation the Beasts Months are supplied by the Gentiles Months because the Beast had Time Times and Half a Time * Or 1260 Days of Years and he not coming into Succession time enough for that Time Times and Half a Time the Months of the Gentiles as his People intercalate or supply the Beast's Months where they are to be supplied and where there is Supply ready for them * Viz. At the 1260 days beginning For as soon as the Time Times Half Time of the Beast begin in the Gentiles 42 Months the 1260 Days begin also And then the Gentiles Months become one with the Beast's as they must needs because Power was given to him over Tongues People and Nations as the Time Times Half Time were given to Him also Thus every way that Great Position That the Kingdom of Christ shall be in its Succession 1697. is Assured to us and this way particularly I cannot but look upon it assured beyond any Possibility of Doubt For we do but thus plainly Reckon The Beasts Moons or Months Begin 475 Ending They can as Time of the Moon or Eves of years make no more than 1222 years These from 475 end therefore with the 1260 days of years at 1697. And therefore I heartily pray we may take notice the Kingdom of God is come nigh to us FINIS
