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. 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 faithfull 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 principall purposes and words contained in this treatise.

8. Take this place as including the re-ingrafting again of the Jews (as no question it doth, seeing their incoming belongeth to the same time) It is most probable-like that their Church will be national in the former respect, 1. If we consider these expressions, Rom. 11.26. All Israel shall be saved, which is certainly in opposition to the parcels of them, and singular persons whom God called, and continued in His Church, even when the body of ⟨p. 513⟩them is broken off. 2. They may be expected to be ingrafted into that estate they fell from; for, saith He, Rom. 11. They shall be grafted in again, but that estate was their national Church-state-relation, and apparently had they received the Gospel, they had continued a national Church to God, and not lost their former privilege, though it had not continued to be typical, or peculiar to them. Now, this which they fell from, was not from being privileged with particular Churches; for we may see by the Epistle to the Hebrews and History of the Acts, that after their rejection, there were particular Churches among them. It would seem therefore that their ingrafting must be as broad as, and of the same nature with, their breaking off.
