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.

The understanding of them also jointly, doth serve to the same scope, to wit, the comforting of Gods People in the faith of an outgate from Antichrists tyranny. And, 4. We will find them all particularly observed in the song which is sung upon the sounding of the seventh trumpet, which is the fulfilling of the event prophesied here; and therefore we conceive all these three may be taken in, but most properly and directly the last two, especially the middle acception, as coming nearest to the immediate scope of the place: and therefore time shall be no longer, is not to be understood simply, but comparatively, in some respect, i. e. of such time of darkness, ignorance and persecution as then it was, that time should be no longer when Antichrist should continue to prevail, and the Saints to suffer; Thus it may relate to the forty two months afterward set for his reign, which cometh to an end at the seventh Angel his sounding.
