Antichrist stormed, or, Mystery Babylon the great whore, and great city, proved to be the present Church of Rome wherein all objections are fully answered : to which is added, the time of the end, or a clear explanation of Scripture prophecies, with the judgment of divers learned men concerning the final ruin of the Romish Church, that it will be in this present age : together with an account of the two witnesses, who they are, with their killing, resurrection & ascension : also an examination and confutation of what Mr. Jurieu hath lately written concerning the effusion of the vials ... : likewise a brief review of D. Tho. Goodwins exposition of the 11th chapter of the Revelations, concerning the witnesses, and of that street in which they should lie slain, proving it to be meant of Great Britain : and a brief collection of divers strange prophecies, some very ancient / by Benj. Keach ... ; to which is annexed, a short treatise in two parts : 1. The calculation of Scripture numbers by Scripture only, without the help of humane history, 2. Upon the witnesses, giving light to the whole book.Antichrist stormed, or, Mystery Babylon the great whore, and great city, proved to be the present Church of Rome wherein all objections are fully answered : to which is added, the time of the end, or a clear explanation of Scripture prophecies, with the judgment of divers learned men concerning the final ruine of the Romish Church, that it will be in this present age : together with an account of the two witnesses, who they are, with their killing, resurrection & ascention : also an examination and confutation of what Mr. Jurieu hath lately written concerning the effusion of the vials ... : likewise a brief review of D.

First, Of the Harvest and Vintage.
The Harvest, he says, signifies those initial Judgments which were executed by means of the Reformation begun in the last Age by the ministry of Luther, Zuinglius, &c. p. 91. to which I cannot agree, because I judge the Harvest is not ripe until the end of the 42 Months, and signifies more and greater ruin to the Beast and his Kingdom, than was effected then, or till this time.
2. The Vintage, he says, signifies a definitive Judgment which shall ruin the Papal Empire, beyond recovery, and to begin at the beginning of the end of •he 42 Months, I conclude the Harvest comes in at •he beginning of the 7 Vials, and the Vintage at the ••tter part of them.
