times from the Apostles before Antichrists Forty two Months or time times and half a time began namely That many should run to and fro and knowledg should be encreased which appears to be a Mark of those times wherein either the Apostles and other faithful Ministers of the Gospel by their travels and preaching and dispersions and persecutions and such like means then were successfully instrumental to cause the knowledge and profession of the Gospel of Christ to abound 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and by an Emphasis called Knowledg being not onely the principal but the onely necessary thing to be known by all men Or else that many that by such means took up the Profession of the Gospel having onely the light and the knowledg thereof but not the Grace of the Gospel might for a time hasten to take up that Profession but by tentations and persecutions be as hasty to run away from the owning of that Profession according to the changes and turnings of the Affairs of those Primative times And the second Note or Character is more clear which likewise gives further evidence to this in that it is of the times succeeding those primative times stamped with a very evident mark to discover them namely Antichrists time times and half a time or dividing of a time as in Rev. 12.14 which v. 5 6 7. is set forth to Daniel in a Vision and reserved as follows to be explained by Christ himself v. 8 9. in the time of the end which he hath done accordingly Rev 10.6 7. to which purpose Daniel saw two persons on each side of the River v. 5. and one enquires of the other for the end of those Wonders whereupon the man clothed in white Linen who probably is the same person as Rev. 10. utters in Daniels hearing the Oath that follows to the like purpose as we before noted But v. 11 12. he gives Daniel that beloved Prophet two other Marks of the times more discernable to him as having reference to his own people the Jews though then particularly hid to him since they were of things to come namely The continuance of the Jews dispersion and bondage after the last most remarkable taking away of Sacrifice and setting up the Abomination of Desolation most probably as we said before in Julian the Apostate Emperor's time about 366 from about which time the 1290 dayes of years are to be counted And ver 12. setteth forth the blessed condition of such faithful Jews or Israelites as waited on God in doing their duty and shall still remain so doing to the appearing of Christ at or about 1335 dayes of years after their first awakening or call from dispersion and bondage And the said man clothed in white Linnen having laid down some general consolations for the faithful Sufferers all along those evil times till the times of the end were past which he had before newly spoken of v. 10 he then concludes with a particular consolation to Daniel concerning his part and lot he was to receive when his people should be delivered and when Abraham Isaac and Jacob were to receive the Lot of their Inheritance in the Land of Canaan which God had sworn to give them and yet his Word witnesseth in the dayes of their Pilgrimage they possessed not a foot of even then Daniel is likewise informed from Christ that he should then have his own Lot there with them at the first Resurrection Rev. 20. or as our Saviour calls it the Resurrection from the dead Luk. 20.35 which here Daniel is taught by him as to his own Interest will then be fulfilled in the end of the dayes when the aforesaid evil times are past of which it is said Time should be no longer Rev. 10.6 The Parallel between Daniels Visions and the Book of the Revelations of Jesus Christ which is meerly a Divine Mystical Comment or Exposition of the two last Monarchies viz. the Roman Monarchy and Christs from the time the Revelation took place and first of the Parallel of what concerns the Roman Monarchy in both Daniel and Revelation IN order unto which said Parallel we must take notice that the greatest part of the Revelations of Jesus Christ from the beginning of the first chapter setting forth the glorious person whom then John saw who as he calls himself afterward and appears to be the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 therein in whose second comeing the Prophesies respecting that Monarchy are to be fulfilled and compleated being then to be utterly and for ever destroyed and to go into perdition as Rev. 17 is said from which period he will set up his own Kingdom as chapt 20. and so forward except what is spoken briefly from v. 14. of Chap. 11. of the Revelation to the end of it where is set down a short Abridgment of the state of the World and the Church after the seventh Trumpet begins to sound onely many incouragements are intermixt all along for all sorts of faithful suffering Christians from the promises and encouragements referring to the thousand years ensuing the sounding of the seventh Trumpet which promises and incouragements are either contained in the first Vision respecting the times then present or past to the end of the third chapter concerning the seven Churches of Asia then in being or those that were to come in the following Visions from the 4th and 5th Chapters which Visions are contained first in the Seal-Prophesie chapters 6 7 8 9. and in the 11th from v. 14 to the end of that Chapter In the 6th chapter are the first second third fourth fifth and sixth Seals contained which last sets forth the Dragons casting down from his heaven of Paganish worship to the earth whereupon after the sealing of the first 144000 in the Eastern parts chap. 7. which were to arise there and be delivered from spiritual ruine as chap. 9.4 by Mahumetan impostures under the two first woe-Trumpets chap. 9. with the decyphering the innumerable companies of all nations to arise in the Church after the sounding of the 7th Trumpet in those peaceable times with palms in their hands Then in the beginning of the 8th chapter is the opening of the 7th seal out of which all the seven Angels with their seven Trumpets proceed and after intercession made by the Angel of the Covenant for the faithful sufferers under the four first Trumpets which blew out wrath for the most part upon the Western Empire till he that letted the coming of Antichrist there namely the Western Emperour was taken out of the way 1 Thes 2.7 By the incursions of the Barbarous Nations so making way for the man of sin and so by degrees to end that Empire there Then in the two first woe-Trumpets as we noted before was brought on the like wrath or rather much worse in bringing in that woful Mahumetan imposture by the Saracens and Turks in chap. 9. upon the Eastern Empire as before upon the Western both for their former
