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.

3. That time, when Nations become the Lords, and when the Temple is open, and the Ark of the testimony is seen therein, doth belong to the seventh trumpet, as the exposition thereof will clear, it being supposed that before the blowing of the seventh trumpet, and during these 1260. days, that the Kingdoms of the earth were not the Lords, that the Temple was shut, and that the Ark of the testimony or Word of God was not seen into it; and it being now clear, that these events are fulfilled in our days, we must therefore look upon this time as belonging to that trumpet.

Before we confirm it further, we would remove some-what objected against the fulfilling of this prophecy by some Learned and worthy men, (Mede and Roberts upon the place) endeavouring to prove this prophecy of the witnesses killing to be yet to be fulfilled, and so those 1260. days not to be expired.
