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.

As to all the other Numbers, Dan. 7. 25. of Time, Times, and dividing of Time, and the same Dan. 12. 7. and the 1290 and the 1335; I conceive all relate to the Times under the Gospel, and in Dan. 11. 31. and 12. 11. when 'tis said the Daily Sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that makes desolate placed in the room of it, and Dan. 12. 11. that from the time that this shall be done there shall be 1290 days, that is, years as before, Dan. 8. 14. the Sanctuary shall be cleansed, that the purity of Gods worship shall be restored at the end of that time; and that blessed is he that comes to 1335, which is forty five more than 1290. As these relate to the Church under the Gospel, and Gods worship there, therefore not properly rendered Sacrifices, as Dan. 9. 27. but by way of Supplement; so I shall rather offer my thoughts of them under that of the Witnesses Prophesying, &c. only all must and do fall in within the time of this great number of 2300 years, and from what hath been spoken to it, we may guess how long it will be before it will expire. There are 601 ½ to the death of Christ; and if we are right in the Tradition of years since his Birth, (for Divine Writ being finished a little after his death, we have nothing else to go by,) taking off the years of his Life which were 30 Luke. 3. 23. when he entered upon his Ministry, which he accomplished in or about the three years or half Week spoken of by Daniel 5. so ⟨p. 220⟩that thirty three from 1686, there rests 1653, which added to 601 ½ makes 2254 ½, which last Subtracted from the Capital Number 2300, there remains 45 ½ the only over-plus of Daniel's last number; 601 ½ 1653 2254 ½ 2300 2254 ½ 0045 ½ so that I hope that Deliverance to the Church and people of God is not far off, and all our sad sights are but good signs.
