An Humble Remonstrance concerning some Additional Confirmations of the Kingdom of Christ to be in its Succession 1697. rising from further Light in Prophecy THE Lord having made me a Watchman to this Nation concerning the Approach of his Kingdom and the Great Change of the whole State of the Christian Churches and so of the World upon it in 1697. I cannot but sound the Trumpet For These Things are not by way of Impression or any private Inspiration but by such Great and Infallible Arguments out of his Word that all Judicious Christians may and ought to discern Truth by Them and know whether these Things are so or not but especially the Ministers of his Word And they are such as are most Amazing especially in these Two last Instances of which I cannot but give this Notice like the sounding of the Trumpet louder and louder When I had setled that most Eminent part of the Line of Time Given by God in so Various Characters viz. Time Times Half a Time and Three Days and a Half although for very great Reasons Diverse from the other yet of the very same Import and Duration as I have shewn These Times and Days are Four Times Nam'd Forty Two Months Twice Nam'd and 1260 Days Twice Nam'd expresly and Twice inclusively Nam'd viz. in the 1290. and 1335 Days Dan. 12. And as in Time Times Half a Time Given with a Solemn Oath Dan. 12. And at the Entrance of Half Time Embarrass'd with an Oath that such Time should be no more Rev. 10. as I had also abundantly made out when I had also to my Full Assurance Establish'd the Necessity from all manner of Concurrent Arguments That the Beginning of this Part of Time made every way so illustrious by God must needs begin A. D. 437. and so End 1697. and that I had continually urg'd that the 42 Months of the Gentiles and of the Beast are prepar'd by the most Wise Spirit of Prophecy for the Adjusting the Time between the Beasts not being in his Succession so early as the 1260 Days began and the Gentiles as his People preparing for him at their Beginning 38 Years before I had also consider'd That the Adjustment must needs be made by Equalling the Time of the Sun and of the Moon one to another I had observ'd also That the 38 Years made a Representation of Two Nineteens or the Golden Number Twice Accounted When All was thus setled What more Ravishing Assurance could be given than that Just now by looking more intimately into the Matter I find that That so Wise and Mathematick Adequation of Time of the Sun and Moon Approved by all the World is made use of by the Spirit of God in this Time For as the Lunations every Nineteen Years are found to Return to the same Point of Congress with the Sun as at their first setting out together it must needs be That what Time the Sun has spent more and the Moon less in those Nineteen Years must needs also be the Just Proportion of Time between the Sun and Moon throughout all Time and that being about Eleven Days every Year is Thirty Eight Days in Three Years and a Half and Thirty Eight Years in Three Years and Half of Years By a Natural Intercalation the Moon adds about 217 Days above its own Years every 19 Years to meet the Sun in the same Point And this is the very Time found by All Accounts of Scripture Prophecy and History between the 1260. beginning 437. and the Beast coming into his Months 476. And as in filling up the Moon 's Time to Time of the Sun there must be a proportionable Intercalation so here the Beast's Moons wherein they are short of the 1260 Days are intercalated for by the Moons of the Gentiles Who can think this Frame of Things by Chance as in the Annexed Discourse is describ'd And as I was thus considering this Noblest and most Principal Part of the Line of Time in the Eye of Prophecy it pleased God by a very Judicious and Honourable Hand to send me this Observation upon the whole Prophetical Part of my Line of Time as I have stated it to begin from Solomon's Death where the Types of the Kingdom of Christ fell so low and to reach to the Vision of Ezekiel's Temple c. 40. when the Visional Type of Christ's Kingdom is at the Height but Debarr'd from Coming into Effect till the Fullness of All Time And it is Given in 390 Days of Ezekiel's Lying on his Side c. 4. After which I observ'd Forty Days of Bearing Judah's Sin and 2300 Eves Morns of Delay e're the Sanctuary Cleans'd according to Ezekiel's Vision All which put together make 2730 Years Now as that same Excellent Person hath observ'd God had setled a Standard of Punishment Levit. 26. That a Multiplication by Sevens should be the Proportion The first Time therefore he fixes this State of Punishment express'd in so Solemn Bearing Iniquity it is in 390 Days of Years Let this then be multiplied by Seven and it makes the Just Sum of 2730. which is made up of 390. 40. 2300 Days of Years and then according to the Sabbatick Seven and according to what God assures after the Sevens of Punishment There shall be a Restoration of All Israel Lev. 26. v. 44. Now I would Appeal to the Reason of all Mankind seeing These Things are so Mathematically Demonstrative out of Words so undeniably written in Scripture whether it be not a Justification of my whole Prophetical Line of Time in its Whole and in its Parts I have also justified it Part by Part and especially in the principal part the Times and Half Time And it is the more Astonishing to me This Assurance of the whole Prophetical Line should be sent to me by Another so Worthy Hand else in all probability I had never Thought of it and upon his Survey of my whole Line of Time Now seeing however it hath pleas'd God to lay me in the most Abasive Outward Circumstances that I might not be exalted above measure by All this Manifestation yet He hath Honour'd me so unworthy with so publick a Character as to be the Herald of his Kingdom at 1697. to these Nations by so many Infallible Proofs of the Time that I can bid Defiance to the Greatest Wit Reason or Learning that Allows Scripture to be the Word of God to Answer or make them nothing worth being such as even a Considering Anti-Scripturist must be convinc'd by observing so much already fullfill'd according to such Rules I most humbly therefore beseech That in regard of the Prodigious Aversations of the Mind of even Those whose proper Sphere it is to consider of these Labours and to take care for the Honour of Those who so Labour in this Word and Doctrine as I have done If it shall yet please the Wise and Holy Disposer of All Things to humble my Outward Condition to the Lowest Dungeon both in regard to the Punishment due to my Iniquities in regard of the yet Low State of the Kingdom of Christ in Tribulation and Patience during which the Ministers of it must be Low also and in Sackcloth And Lastly As Things will appear within Little Time that it may Upbraid to Christians even tho it was their Office to do otherwise their Low Regard to the Kingdom of Christ In All these Regards Let No One be moved by my Afflictions whatever they may be but consider the Vast Accounts of Scripture Truth and Reason and be Assur'd the Kingdom of God must needs be as close upon us as I have Declared For the Word of God cannot be Broken And it must have a Sense and that Sense we may by a Deep Pondering and a Diligent Compare be as sure of in Prophetical as other Parts of it I cannot therefore but earnestly beseech Consideration whether the Things I have offered can be thought either Frivolous or Forc'd And whether on such a Settlement as I have long a go made what I now offer upon it be not even most Surprizing and Wonderful in its Confirmation neither depending on Phantasie or Fiction but most Substantial Scripture History Nature Reason Oh that then neither the Gallio-Spirit of Caring for None of These Things nor the Unbelieving Spirit might prevail That tho God should open the very Windows of Heaven They cannot be For be Assur'd That at the Seventh or Last Half Time Ending from a Cloud as big as a Man's Hand The Heavens shall be over-spread and a mighty Rain of the Gospel Fall according to that Type 1 Kings 18.34
