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.

The 3d Trumpet made the Fountains and Rivers become bitter; but the third Vial represents the Rivers and Fountains changed into Blood.
The 4th Trumpet, lays before us, the third part of the Sun, and of the Moon, and of the Stars, smitten, i. e. The 3d part of the Roman▪ Empire darkened by the pestilential Doctrine of Mahomet, and invaded by the Army of the Turks: But the 4th Vial which is poured forth only upon the Sun, seems to threaten the Ottoman Empire and Religion.

The 5th Trumpet foretells the fall of a great Star, to whom were given the Keys of the bottomless pit, out of which there rose a Smoke and Locusts. The Keys plainly show Rome to be meant, in that she challengeth to have the Custody of the Keys committed to her, and pretends to be the Seat of St Peter; and this denotes the growth of the Papal Empire. But the 5th Vial is poured out upon the Seat of the Beast, i. e. upon Rome, which predicts her destruction, and therefore represents his Kingdom become full of darkness, and his Subjects Gnawing their Tongues, through despair.
