Archer, The glympse of Sions glory, and such as concurre in opinion with them, hold concerning the thousand years of the saints reign with Christ, and of Satans binding: herein also their arguments are answered.

sayes as to Ezekiel 1 appoint thee a day for a yeare a day for a yeare To him the words are doubled that wee should not mistake In Daniel wee find them not single And must not of our owne heads devise what was never intended 2. The dayes two thousand three hundred in Dan. 8.14 bee properly understood of dayes according to Mr. Brightman and others Why then may not one thousand two hundred dayes Dan. 12.11 be so likewise expounded Reply Dayes one thousand two hundred and sixtie and moneths fortie two in the Revelation expresse a longer time then the bare words import So may the summe here If you say that in the Apocalyps is meant properly so many dayes or moneths you accord with the Papists who hold that Antichrist shall reign but just three years and a half Answ. I know well that Christs servants Rev. 11. witnesse to his truth that the beast Rev. 13.1 rages that the woman clad with the Sun Rev. 12. is preserved in the Wildernesse longer then three years and a half though the limits of their times expressed properly signifie no longer a spade but I say further that phrases and formes of speech in the Revelation have often reference to former matters to which they have some resemblance So Babel and Egypt in the Apocalyps signifie not properly but metaphorically places and States like them for mischiefs done to Gods people and their ruine thereupon So the three years and an halfe of the Saints preaching and persecution is not properly just so long but hath a reference unto Christs preaching and persecution which was in proprietie of speech just so long This is to shew that the Saints case is like Christs and the time not properly but by allusion understood of them So in Scripture the Saints afflictions are called the afflictions of Christ Col. 1.24 and the Saints are said to have {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} a share and part of Christs sufferings Phil. 3.10 and to bee {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} partakers of Christs sufferings Heb. 12.8 and to bee {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} comformable and like to Christ Rom. 8.29 and Saint John and other Christians are said to bee companions in tribulation and in the Kingdome of Christ Rev. 1.9 Thus Christ is the great and eminent both Teacher of and sufferer for the truth his servants imitate his actions and are like to him in suffering Such was the course of Christs publick ministery whilst hee lived such must be theirs untill their deaths As hee so they must hold out and continue faithfull in their callings His time was but three years and an half theirs may bee lesse perhaps something more but however it will bee a momentary and short space in regard of the eternall weight of glory which follows it Againe as the seven Churches of Asia some purer some more corrupt some in diverse respects prais-worthy others in as many respects justly to bee blamed shew the state and condition of seventie and more Churches and what Christ hath to say to them in regard of their like obedience or disobedience unto him So the teaching and sufferings of Christ in three yeares and an halfe shew what shall bee the case of his servants in three times three or moe years of their ministry So that time is put for the condition of the time and things done therein As Act. 3.24 The Prophets foretold these times And Esther 1.13 wise men knowing the times that is things done in the times And Christ saith Father keep me from that houre Joh. 12.17 that uphold me in the sorrowes of that houre Thus then you see apparently that I run not into the Papists errour who absurdly bound Antichrists persecution and the Saints sufferings to three years and an half Rome first in its wicked and Idolatrous Emperours secondly in its proud and superstitious Popes hath been an Egypt and a Babel to Gods servants oppressing them these one thousand six hundred years and not barely three years and a half and in all this time God hath had witnesses to his truth The allusion both to the places and the time is most elegant and comfortable They that suffer with Christ shall also reign with him Sixtly If the setling of the dayes one thousand two hundred and ninetie counting them so many years as above bee faultie then Mr. Archers addition of fortie five yeares unto them which are the overplus of one thousand three hundred thirtie five dayes by him counted yeares Dan. 12.12 must also be erroneous Besides Mr. Archer mistakes by making those fortie five years to be a time of great affliction to the Jews For their welfare begins at the end of one thousand two hundred and ninetie dayes when Jerusalems desolation is repaired and the daily sacrifice renewed and a further accesse of happinesse is made unto them fortie five dayes after So that Dan. 12.11 12. speaks of the Jews welfare not of their misery and fits their condition in Antiochus time exactly for about fortie five dayes after Judas Maccabeus had cleansed the Altar and sacrificed thereon Antiochus became extreamly sick and confessed how unjustly he had tyrannized over the Jews 1 Macc. 6.8.9 c. and soon after in the next year died Seventhly Mr. Archer affirmes that Julian was the setter up of the abomination of desolation spoken of Dan. 12.11 Mr. Brightman is of the same opinion on Dan. 12. Admit this to be true then hee must also bee the taker away of the daily sacrifice for both these go together and have the same time asoribed unto them Now Julian was so farre from taking away the Jewish sacrifices that hee indeavoured to set them up and did much countenance the Jeâ—es against the Christians Socrateâ— Eccl. Hist. B. 3. Eighthly there is no reason why Mr. Archer should hold that after dayes or years one thousand two hundred and ninetie Dan. 12.11 the Jews should bee cal'd to Christianitle The Text faith no such thing but tels how the Jews should bee freed from two miseries first from the desolation of Jerusalem secondly from the taking away their daily sacrifiâ—e Seeing these two are the miseries befalling the Jews untill the end of the time there designed they must necessarily fall in the time that sacrifice was lawfull And therefore they must not bee in the daies of Titus or of the Turk Ninthly These learned men swerve from the truth by not making Christ at his being on earth the strong man who bound Satan and gave his Apostles power to tread on the Serpent whose head himself brok and whom hee made as lightning to fall from Heaven so that from the time of Christs Ascension the devill could not prevail to deceive all Nations as before hee had don but was loosed about a thousand years afterward as hath been declared above Tenthly There is not any passage in the Revelation or elsewhere that I know from which it can bee proved that the Papacy

this means hee will make the world continue three thousand three hundred years from Christs time Hee may likewise make the woman Rev 12.6 and 13. fly twise into the wildernesse because there her flight is twise mentioned In this way I think Mr. Brightman will walk without company Sixthly Concerning the Turks Mr. Medes opinion is more probable first that their dominion began when Tangolipex was made King in the year one thousand fifty seven not in the year one thousand three hundred as sales Mr. Brightman Secondly that from the year one thousand fifty seven count three hundred ninety six years moe which come to the year one thousand foure hundred fifty three and then in this very year the Turks took Constantinople and rose to greater might and not began to fall as Mr. Brightman affirms they should after three hundred ninty six years Thirdly the Text is expresse that upon the times mentioned Apoc. 9.13 they should kill the third part of man whereas the Text hath not one word of their fall nor is the ruin of the Turkish Empire foretold in what year it should fall saith Mr. Mede And again Mr. Mede still holding his accustomed ingenuity gives another sense of Apoc. 9.15 thus The Turks will bee prepared for a fit time to wit for a day a moneth and a year to kill the third part of men And surely this sense is more probable then the other depending upon the exposition of each day for a year which is not to take place except somthing in the Prophecy lead us thereunto Seventhly If the ten horned beast Rev 13.1 bee not the Popes as they are Clergy men but the secular Rulers of Rome then Mr. Brightman erres in making this beast to expresse Antichrist or the Popes onely Secondly hee erres in saying that this beast began in the year three hundred and six whereas the Caesars began before and were in Saint Johns time For it is said of the seven heads that five are past that one is Rev 11.10 that is the Cesars And then thirdly if this beast bee to rule two and forty moneths in Mr. Brightmans sense they must begin in or before Saint Johns time and so must bee ended many years agon though his account for the wounded beasts cure bee taken in to make the summe swel Other exceptions against Mr. Brightman will in part appear elsewhere in this Discourse Chap. V. Dr. J. Alsteds and M. H. Archers accounts about the times in the Apocalyps and Daniel propounded and refuted DOctor Alstede layes his plot for the account of times thus Daniels seventy weeks end at Jerusalems ruine in the year of Christ 69 Adde thereunto the dayes after this desolation Dan. 12.11 that is so many years 1290 These two summes make up the years of the Churches affliction 1359 Then follow the dayes that is years which make them happy who live unto them 1335 These two summes reach unto the year of Christ 2694 The last thousand of the years in the summe last above mentioned are the thousand years in Apoc. 20. in which Satan is bound and the Church flourisheth So that this thousand years begin in the year 1694. Mr. Archer thus frames his accounts of these times page 47. Julian set up the abomination of desolation in the year of Christ 366 To this adde the account of dayes that is years Dan. 12.11 at the end whereof the Jews shall bee called to Christ 1290 Then adde also 45 years moe part of the 1335. Dan. 12.12 45 These three summes amount to about years 1700 Then in the year 1700. Satan is bound and the Churches happinesse begins After this follow the wars of Gog and Magog So that the world ends not before but some time after the year 2700. Mr. Archer brings us another account page 51. that if one misse the other may hit Thus it stands The Papacy begun and the ten Kingdoms arose in the year of Christ 406 The Papacy continues years 1260 So that the Papacy is ruined in the year 1666 Then begin the years of Satans binding in which the Saints reign with Christ in much prosperity These are years 1000 Then follow the wars of Gog and Magog after which the last and sinall judgement comes so that these wars are not before the year of Christ 2666. These accounts of time I hold to bee many wayes faulty First Daniels weeks end not at Jerusalems fall by Titus Arg. 1. Jerusalems wall is built and the Messias slain after seven weeks and 62 weeks Dan. 9.26 and in the half of the one week remaining the Messiah puts an end to sacrifice and oblation There is the end of the seventy weeks But the destruction of Jerusalem was thirty and odde years if not forty after Christs death which did put an end to sacrifice and oblation Therefore the seventy weeks cannot end at Jerusalems fall by Titus Arg. 2. The Covenant with many at which the seventy weeks end was confirmed in the half of the one week which remained after the seven and sixty two weeks Dan. 9.27 But this Covenant was confirmed by Christ at his death and resurrection Therefore the seventy weeks end at Christs death and not at Jerusalems fall above thirty years after Object T is said Dan. 9.27 That in the one week remaining after the seven and sixty two weeks the abomination of desolation shall be powred on the City Jerusalem Therefore the seventy weeks end at the destruction of Jerusalem Answer The one week the last of the seventy ends as in the Text is plain when by Christ the Covenant is confirmed and sacrifice caused to cease by his death That which is added concerning the abomination of desolation powred on the City shews as Mr. Brightman on Dan. 12.11 well saith the Jews punishment for killing the Messias and that Christ by confirming a new Covenant and by his death putting an end to legall ceremonies declared that there should bee no need of the old Jerusalem There is not nor needed there to bee an expression of any time foretelling the ruin of the City By story it fell forty or neer forty years after Christs death and in this time the Apostles called some Jews to repentannce and faith in Christ that Christs blood might not bee upon them all to their eternall ruine Secondlly Dr. Alsiedes opinion fails in making the daies one thousand two hundred and ninty Dan. 12.11 to take place at Jerusalems destruction by Titus Arg. 1. Those daies one thousand two hundred and ninty take place upon the taking away of the daily sâ—crisice and setting up the abomination of desolation But these both were doâ— by Antiochus Epiphanes many years before Jerusalems ruin by Titus Therefore they may not bee referred to the destruction of Jerusalem after Christs time by Titus But here perhaps it will bee objected The setting up of the abomination of desolation spoken of in Daniel is in Mat. 24.15 Mark 13.14 and Luk. 21.20 expresly referred to the Romans and their Soldiers

besieging and destroying Jerusalem Therefore the desolation spoken of is that acted by Titus and the Romans and not by Antiochus Answ. There is a twofold desolation spoken of by Daniel The first don by a King that speaks against Gods Saints Daniels people consumes them and attempts to change Times and Laws and this hee doth for a time times and half a time Dan. 7.25 This is again mentioned Dan. 12.7 and further explained verse 11. to bee one thousand two hundred and ninty dayes after the taking away the daily sacrifice and setting up the abomination of desolation This was fulfilled by Antiochus and was one part of the Jews misery which Dan. 12. is expressed Secondly Daniel speakes of the over spreading of abomination and desolating Jerusalem after and for Christs death This is in Chap. 9.26 27. Of this the Gospels are to bee understood they expresse its performance by Titus and the Romans This desolation might make the Jews not miserable but happy by taking them off from doating on Jerusalem and their legall rites and making them look towards Christ That in Daniel 12. made them miserable for it hindred the Jewish worship which in Antiochus his time was lawfull Object Suppose Antiochus afflicted the Jews three years and an half their afflictions were not accomplished and ended thereupon for the Jews suffered much by other of the Grecian Princes after Antiochus as wee read in the Maâ—es History and most miserably in the times following by severall Roman Captains and Governours but at the end of a time times and half a time or daies one thousand two hundred and ninty or at least forty five daies after the Jews afflictions were to bee at an end and they become happy And therefore the afflictions of the Jews Dan. 12. cannot bee those inflicted on them by Antiochus Brightman Dan. 12. Answ. Mr. Brightman beeing himself out of the right way by a false light strives to hold on others in their straying by-pathes for companies sake Wee finde that at the end of three years and an half the Temple was cleansed and sacrifices renewed Joseph Bell. Jud. 1.1 Nor did Antiochus or his son or any Prince of the Greeks ever prevail against the Jews their Temple and sacrifices in like manner as Antiochus had don So that this kinde of misery of the Jews was then accomplished and ended and of no other misery but that brought on them by Antiochus is the speech in Dan. 12. There is not a word of the miseries that should befall them by the Romans Secondly the very words spoken of Antiochus time as Mr. Brightman himself holds Chap. 11.35 are iterated in Chap. 12.10 Many shall bee purifyed made white and tryed but the wicked shall doe wickedly and none of the wicked shall have understanding but the wise shall understand Iteration of the same speech in substance shews the same thing to bee insisted upon So mention of judgement on the Saints behalf and their possessing a kingdom is twise spoken of Dan. 7.22 27. in the exposition of the vision So the woman Apoc. 12.6 and 14. is twise said to fly into the Wildernesse So Apoc. 17.12 and 17. The ten Kings are twise said to give their power and authority to the Beast Thus in these places there is a commoration upon the same thing To the very same purpose are the words above doubled in Dan. 11. and 12. As Mr. Broughton hath well observed and thence inferres that the same matter is insisted upon and that the matters spoken of Dan. 12.11 12. belong to Antiochus time and not to the time of Titus making Jerusalem desolate Repl. The times limits will not agree with Antiochus dealings For Antiochus his taking away the daily sacrifice and setting up the ahomination of desolation was but from Kislen 25. Anno 145. of Seleucus his kingdom to Kisleu 25. Anno 148.1 Macc. 1.57 and 4.52 Onely before these three years which are the precise time there were ten dayes moe in which the beginning of his wicked attempt was made known Nor is it materiall that Josephus De bell Judaic. 1.1 saith that the daily sacrifice was taken away by Antiochus three years and an half For t is said 1 Macc. 4.54 that the same day that the Gentiles defiled the Altar it was again renued and câ—eansed And Josephus a more religious witnesse elsewhere saith That the same day three years that the Altar was prosaned the Jews sacrificed again on the Altar erected anew Antiq. 12.11 Mr. Brightman on Dan. 12.7 Answ. Mr. Brightmans misprisions beguile some others else should I not spend so much time in answering him To clear the whole matter observe that in Anno 145. of the Greeks Antiochus first sent an Hoste to Jerusalem 1 Mac. 1.30 which spoiled and fired the City captived and kild many made others flye and give place to strangers and laid waste the Sanctuary Secondly Hee sent letters and Messengers to enjoyn the Jews to follow the Laws of the Heathen to neglect their Sabbaths Feasts and Sacrifices mark here the daily Sacrifice amongst the rest hindred to erect new Altars and to sacrifice Swines flesh thereon to omit Circumcision on pain of death Thirdly In this very year the fifteenth of Kisleu the abomination was set upon the Altar And fourthly on the five and twentyeth of Kisleu sacrifice was after the beathen manner offered on the Altar Suppose now that both the books of Maccabees and Josephus say truely that on what day of the year the Altar was heathenishly sacrificed on even on the same day just three years after the Jews in holy manner sacrificed on their purged and rebuilt Altar yet the other tyrannous dealings of Antiochus over the Jews and his inhibiting their sacrifices his firing killing and other mischievous deeds may very well take up half a year more And thus shall Josephus bee as religious a witnesse for the three years and an half as for any other true passage of Story Because this his witnesse accords with time times and half a time And hence it may appear that Josephus better in his time understood Daniels prophecy in this point then Mr. Brightman and is wrong fully here charged to have corrupted the Story Whereas hee living neerer those times might either know the truth certainly from the common assent of his Nation or might as a reasonable man judge that the mischiefs done by Antoochus before the sacrificing on the Altar on the five and twentyeth day of Kislen might very well take up a full half years time Object Here I shall produce one objection more then Mr. Brightman thought upon for hee is apâ—enough to speak for himself what came into his minde if not sometimes more then is sound and conclusive This it is Seeing that in the Apocalyps time times and half a time have correspondent to them dayes one thousand two hundred and sixty and two and forty moneths how is it that here Antiochus his dealings are bounded twise by time times and half
