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.

'Tis false that the Plagues are designed only against the Empire of the Beast, for, saith he, the Trumpets and Vials have in part for their object the Turkish Empire, and Mahometan Religion. (3.) 'Tis false that the 6th Trumpet is subdivided into the 7 Vials, and that the 7 Vials have been pouring ⟨p. 200⟩out since the tenth Century, for 'tis the 7th Trumpet that is subdivided into the 7 Vials, because 'tis under the 7th Trumpet that the Vials shall be poured out; whosoever well considers what is to arrive under the 6th Vial, according as St. John has described it, and thereupon compares it with what is to come to pass under the 7th Trumpet, may from thence prove, that the Judgments of God represented by pouring forth of the Vials, agree admirably with the effects of the 7th Trumpet, and may from thence conclude, that the subdivision which Mr. Jurieu attributes to the 6th Trumpet, agrees only with the 7th, p. 10.
He then proceeds to defend a former Book written by himself, (as I suppose) against Jurieu about the Vials.
The first foundation upon which he goes is, that the Apocalypse is nothing but a continuation of the Prophetical History of Daniel concerning the 4th Monarchy which is the Roman Empire; and concerning the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.—
