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.

Ans. First, It's to be noted, for so it is in the Scriptures of Truth, That there was a threefold going into Captivity. The First, in the 3d year of Jehoiakim, 2 Kin. 24. 1. with Dan. 1. 1, 2. which was the 1st year of the Reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Jer. 25. 1. In this Daniel the Prophet was carried Captive, and was but young, as v. 4. This Jehoiakim Reigned in all 11 years, 2 Chron. 36. 5. Then Nebuchadnezzar Bound him in Chains, and carried him to Babylon, v. 6. And made Jehoiachin King in his stead, who Reigned 3 Months and 10 Days, and then the King of Babylon carried him and the rest of the Vessels of the house of God, and a great Captivity of the People, 2 Kings 24. 10.—to 17. This was the second going into Captivity. Zedekiah was made King by the King of Babylon and Reigned 11 years, as 2 Kin. 24. 18. In the last of whose Reign and the 19 of Nebuchadnezzar's, Jerusalem was taken, (as 2 Kin. 25. 8. with Jer. 52. 4, 5, 6, 12, 13.) and burnt with the Temple. This is the third and last going into Captivity; between which and the first it evidently appears, there were 18 or 19 years, and the Temple was not destroyed till the last: So that the ancient men spoken of in Ezra, might be of the last going into Captivity, and then there is no need of reckoning them older than 20 years when carried Captive, 51 years of the Captivity, 19 being gone before and 21 of Darius, in all 92 years; and it's very probable many might live to that Age. Obj. But how doth it appear that the 70 years doth begin in the 1st of these goings into Captivity? Ans. Very plainly; For in Jer. 28. 3. The false Prophet saith that the Yoke of the King of Babylon should be broken, and the Captivity should return in two years; In the 29th of Jer. the Lord tells them, that were then in Captivity, that they should build houses, Plant Gardens, and take Wives in the Land of
