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

she is the discription of her you will find in 17. Rev. 3 4 5. verses 2. The place of her abode see the 18. verse of that 17. Chapter where the holy Spirit unfolding unto Iohn the mystery of those things mentioned in that Chapter tells him And the Woman which thou sawest saith the Angel is that great City which reigneth over the Kings of the Earth Which City comparing Scripture and History together we shall find to be and it could be none other but Rome the chief Seat of the sixth Head or Roman Monarchy as we shall more fully clear hereafter the Lord assisting us 3. What she would doe consider what the Apostle Paul did by the Spirit foretell what should fall out in the latter times in his second Epistle to Timothy Chap. 4. 1 2 3. whose words are these Now the Spirit speaketh expresly that in the latter times some shall depart from the Faith giving heed to seducing Spirits and Doctrines of Devils speaking lies in hypocrisie having their Consciences seared with a hot Iron Forbidding to marry and commanding to abstain from meats which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth Which words spoken of some in the Plurall Number cannot more properly be applied to any then to the Popes of Rome typified by the Woman setting upon a scarlet coloured Beast R●vel 17. 3. And we may appeal to the hearts and consciences of all true Christian Readeis hereof whether that which the Apostle wrote in those three verses to Timothy hath not been fulfilled by the Papall Power of Rome Again let us see and consider one other Prophesie concerning her acting which the Angell shewed unto the Apostle Iohn and which he saw Revel. 17. 6. And I saw the Woman drunken with the bloud of the Saints and with the bloud of the Martyrs of Iesus and when I saw h●r I wondred with great admiration Now if we may give any credit to Mr. Fox his History of the Martyrs of Jesus which we shall not question that Prophesie hath been fulfilled to the purpose of which many of the poor Saints in this Island in the dayes of Henry the eighth and Queen Maries time were witnesses thereof 4. Her Judgement with the Persons o● Powers that shall execute it take one clear Scripture for it in the 17. Revel. 16. And the ten Hornes saith the Angel unto Iohn which thou sawest upon the Beast these shall hate the Whore and shall make h●r desolate and naked and shall eat her flesh and burn ●er with fire Object But some may say how can this Scripture clear or prove that which you bring it for it speaking concerning the hating of the Whore not of the Woman therefore this verse may rather seem to have relation to the first verse of that 17. Chapter where the Angel tells Iohn He will shew him the Iudgement of the great Whore th●t sitteth upon many Waters and in the 15. verse of that chapter the Angel tells him that the Waters whi●h thou sawest where the Whore sitteth are Peoples and Multitud●s and Nations and Tongues Answ. The Book of the Revelations is full of Mysteries and Prophecies and not easily to be understood not onely upon the first but also not upon many readings thereof for if it had how comes it to passe that those Interpreters thereof whose writings are extant are so dark in those things that they undertook to open and clear as in this Age we find some that have contradicted others that went before them in the unfolding of these Mysteries and we question not but the Lord will give a clearer light to others to make more clear those things which in this short Treatise we have in some measure though darkly unfolded But as to the Objection we say that by comparing one place in this chapter with another and by clearing some improbabilities if not impossibilities in it that which we have affirmed concerning the Judgement of the Woman or Whore will evidently appear to be truth First consider whether the Title Whore be not proper to this Woman in the 4. verse of that 17. chapter she is said to have a golden Cup in her hand full of the abominations and filthinesse of her fornication Now judge whether she that hath committed Fornication doth not justly deserve the Title of Whore to be given her Secondly for the improbability of it consider whether its likely that the beast unto whom these ten Hornes give their Kingdome would be acceptable unto him when as they had destroyed the Seat of his Empire Babylon if so be that the word Whore in the sixteenth verse had relation to the word great Whore in the first verse or Whore in the fifteenth verse 5. The fifth thing to be considered of and that will fall out before the taking up of the Saints is the preaching of the Gospel of the Kingdome Math. 24 14. The Lord Jesus speaking to his Disciples in answer to the three questions propounded by them to him in the third verse begins with the first telling them what should fall out in after times and amongst other things tells them That this Gospel of the Kingdome shall be preached in all the world for a witn●sse unto all Nations and then shall the end come This Gospel of the Kingdome was begun to be preached by the Lord Jesus himself as the said Evangelist Mathew●ath recorded in the 4. chapter 23. And Iesus went about all Galilee teaching in their Synag●gues and preaching the Gospel of the Kingdome also in Mathew 9. 35. you have it there recorded again of his so doing And this he doth not onely make a part of his own work but also when he sends forth his twelve Apostles he commands them saying As ye g●e preach saying the Kingdome of Heaven is at hand Mathew 10. 7. Which also Phillip one of the seven Deacons preacheth up as appeares in Acts 8. 12. And that chosen vessell of the Lord the Apostle Paul he declares and preacheth the same And now behold I know that yee all among wh●m I have gone preaching the Kingdome of God shall see my face no more Act. 20. 25. Yea the last words and actions that are recorded of him in the 28. Acts 30 and 31 verses doth declare as much the words are these And Paul dwelt two wh●le years in his own hired house and received all that came in unto him preaching the Kingdome of God and teaching those things which concern the Lord Iesus Christ with all confidence no man forbidding him Now this Gospel of the Kingdome ceased to be preached after the falling away of the Churches and hath continued so for many Ages but the time drawing nigh of the coming of that Kingdome it is begun to be held forth again and must be preached in all Nations before that time come which was not done in the primative times by reason a great part of the now known world was not then discovered
