1 Therefore they are called the last times, because they are the last period of time, before the last Judgment.
The first period was from Adam to Moses, 2450 years, Rom. 5.4. the second period of time was from Moset to Christ, Luk. 16.16. Mat. 11.13. for in the first age the Church was not national, nor any writings of the word, only they delivered the law and promises from Family to Family; many years after Moses time, he collected a National Church of the Jews, and excluded the nations by a partition wall of ceremonies which the Gentiles would not conform to, then did he give them the Law written, and this continued till Christs time.
