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.

That all the Vials, saith he, being contained under the 3d woe, they are yet to be poured out, for as much as we are this year 1687. still under the sixth Trumpet, and groaning under the pressure of the 2d woe. So that here we have a new proof that all the Vials from the first to the last are yet to be poured out, for as much as the Vials are no other thing than the 7 Thunders which are spoken of, Rev. 10. and indeed the Thunders are 7 in number as well as the Vials are; and as the Thunders do signify the Judgments of God against the Enemies of the Church, so the Vials do signify the same, in that▪ by them the wrath of God is to be consummated. Moreover, the things threatened by the Thunders are delayed from being executed until the sounding of the 7th Trumpet and therefore were to be sealed up until the Mysteries of God should be finished, (which in my judgment means the whole of the Beasts 42 Months,) which agrees with what he further says, p. 249. The Mysteries of God (saith he) is the bringing in of the Kingdom of Christ, and the uniting of all Christians, from whence that peace of the Church shall arise, and if there be any difference between the Vials and the Thunders, it consisteth only in this, viz. the Thunders are the denunciation of the Judgments of God, and the Vials are the execution of them, for tho' the Thunders were heard by St. John under the 6th Trumpet, yet they were not to be executed till under the 7th, when all the Vials shall be poured out.
