Saviour in the Gospel Mat. 24. Mark 13. where he so expresly referres to this of Daniel with an unwonted caveat not to passe it over sleightly Let him saith he that readeth understand which admonition as it implies the speciall need we have of our Saviours Key to unlock it so it may seem to intimate that neither the Lxx. before nor the ordinary construction of their Rebbies then had hit the meaning of this Scripture Wherefore S. Luke relates not here as Matth. and Mark do our Saviours words verbatim but exegetically of set purpose so I am perswaded expounding this place of Daniel as will appear by that which follows Over a Wing of Abominations * That is An Army of Idolatrous Gentiles Even the selfe same which S. Luke saith Chap. 21. Ierusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles who also expoundeth Wing by Armies putting in stead of those words of our Saviour When ye shall see the Abomination of Desolation spoken of by Daniel the Prophet stand in the holy place these When ye shall see Ierusalem compassed with Armies and in both it follows Then let them which be in Iudaea flee into the mountains The word {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} Wing is of the Verb {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} but once found in the Hebrew Scripture which signifies according to the Chaldee and Arabick To gather together besides in the Arabick circundare to environ or compasse about Both significations sute well to an Army and the latter that which beleaguers and begirts a City or Fort besieged Had S. Luke any reference to this when he speaks of Jerusalem compassed with an army The metaphor also of a Wing leanes most this way whether we consider their figure and motion being stretched out or their posture when Birds of rapine sit couring over their prey I will not say the Romane Eagle was here aimed at though {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} is used not onely for Ala a Wing but for Alatum Volatile a Fowle or Winged Creature It is sufficient that neither the nature nor name of a Wing is strange or unaccustomed to an Army But how will you say will an Army of Abominations be made an Army of Gentiles I answer The Scripture in many places calleth Idols by the name of Abominations that is {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} So the Egyptian Idols Exod. 8. ver. 26 c. are called The Abomination of the Egyptians Ezek. 7. 20. The Jews are said to have made the Images of their Abominations {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} Ier. 7. 20. to have set up {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} that is their Idols in the House of the Lord So 2 Kings 23. Ashtaroth is called {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} the Abomination of the Sidonians Cemosh {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} the Abomination of the Moabites but M●lcom {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} the Abomination of the Children of Ammon Wherefore 1 Kings 11. 5 7. {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} is by the Seventy thrice Translated {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} This being a thing manifest we are to observe further That the Scripture useth also to expresse and imply under the names of the Gods the Nations themselves which worshipped them The Lord threatned to scatter Israel among the Nations and that there they should serve other Gods day and night Gods the works of mens hands wood and stone and which neither they nor their Fathers had known That is they should serve them not religiously but politically in as much as they were to become Slaves and Vassals to Idolatrous Nations even such Idolaters as neither they nor their Fathers had ever heard of Let it also be considered whether that of David 1 Sam. 26. 19. be not to be expounded after the same Trope They have saith he driven me out this day from abiding in the inheritance of the Lord saying Goe serve other Gods i. they have driven me to serve a Nation of another Religion Yea Ezra 9. 14. fitly to our purpose The Strangers with whom the people of Israel had contracted affinity are called expresly {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} The people of Abominations which the Seventy render {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} The people of the Lands that is Gentiles And where we reade in the first verse The people of Israel c. have not separated themselves from the people of the Lands according to their Abominations c. It is the same phrase with that of Moses Cattell after their kinde creeping things after their kinde That is the severall kinds of cattell of creeping things so the people of the Lands according to their Abominations is the severall kinds of Idolaters of the Lands about them And thus we have shewed that {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} the Wing of Abominations is as much as {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} an Armie of people of Abominations That is of Gentiles and Worshippers of Idols But who is this Desolater or Maker of Desolations who should command over this Wing of Abominations and bring these Gentiles against the Holy City ℟ The words in the Originall stand indifferent to be applied either to the Romane Generall or Messiah but I could not render them so indifferently For if I render them And in half a Week a Desolater shall cause the sacrifice and offering to cease and that being over a Wing of Abominations Or Over a Wing of Abominations shall he be who makes desolation This Desolater would then seem to be some other then Messiah that is the Romane Generall But render them as I doe And making desolation or being a Desolater He shall cause the sacrifice and offering to cease and that c. Or He shall cause the sacrifice and offering to cease and commanding over a Wing of Abominations be a Desolater either way of these they will have reference to MESSIAH the Prince who is the Person meant in the words immediately before He shall confirm a Covenant with many one Week And this I most incline to that so the Person spoken of may be the same throughout and a reason also appear of that additament That this Desolater should be over an Army of Abominations For if a Forein Generall were onely meant what needed this Addition what other Army could such a one lead but Gentiles But that Messiah himselfe should command over an Army of Idolaters this needed a speciall intimation And surely the Romane Army though an Army of Abominations was in this service the Army of Messiah So the Parable aiming at this Prophecy tels us Mat. 22. 7. When the King heard how spitefully they entreated his Messengers who came to tell them the Wedding whereunto they had been bidden was ready He was wroth saith the Text and sent forth HIS Armies and destroyed those Murtherers and burnt
