A commentary upon the book of the Revelation Wherein the text is explained, the series of the several prophecies contained in that book, deduced according to their order and dependence on each other; the periods and succession of times, at, or about which, these prophecies, that are already fulfilled, began to be, and were more fully accomplished, fixed and applied according to history; and those that are yet to be fulfilled, modestly, and so far as is warrantable, enquired into. Together with some practical observations, and several digressions, necessary for vindicating, clearing, and confirming many weighty and important truths. Delivered in several lectures, by that learned, laborious, and faithful servant of Jesus Christ, James Durham, late Minister of the Gospel in Glasgow. To which is affixed a brief summary of the whole book, with a twofold index, one of the several digressions, another of the chief and principal purposes and words contained in this treatise.A commentarie upon the book of the Revelation Wherein the text is explained, the series of the several prophecies contained in that book, deduced according to their order and dependance on each other; the periods and succession of times, at, or about which, these prophecies, that are already fulfilled, began to be, and were more fully accomplished, fixed and applied according to history; and those that are yet to be fulfilled, modestly, and so far as is warrantable, enquired into.

Vers. 5. And the Angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake. 6. And the seven Angels which had the seven trumpets, prepared themselves to sound. 7. The first Angel sounded and there followed hail, and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth, and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

IN the beginning of this Chapter we find our Lord Jesus taking off the suspension and restraint, and making way for the breaking loose of that Judgement, which in the former Chapter He had restrained. Our Lord Jesus Christ, the great Angel of the Covenant, hath a double end in these three Verses, to wit, the 3, 4, and 5. 1. To provide for His people, and to make them and their prayers acceptable to God as the best guard against the coming storm: and this is past in the former two Verses, to wit, the 3. and the 4. 2. To give the word and sign for the Angels to sound the alarm, that these Judgements restrained by the four Angels, (Chap. 7.) might fall on; this is performed in this fifth Verse, wherein are two things, 1. The sign given. 2. The effects.
