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.

Obj. 2. Zerubbabel who came out of Captivity, the Prince and Governor, did not only lay the Foundations of the house of God, Ezra 3. 8. But did also finish it, c. 5. 2. Now if the interruption was seventy years, he must be very old when he finished it, or very young to be chief when they first came up, and laid the Foundations.

Ans. We know they were reckoned Princes, or Chiefs by their being Elder Brothers, or Families, whether Younger or Elder in years; and he might live (as doubtless he did) all the time of the Interruption, and be twenty or thirty years old when he came out of Babylon, and be but ninety or a hundred years old, when the Temple was finished, and we read not of him afterward. For Ezra, who came up the seventh of Artaxerxes, and Nehemiah who came the twentieth of his Reign, both Governed and set things in Order themselves, according to the Commissions they had. And what Ezra writes of Zerubbabel is but Historical, of things past and done. But if this be not right, they that go by History, must be much more out, who make the time between Cyrus his decree, and the sixth of Darius his Reign, in which it was finished, to be at least a hundred twenty four or six, which is almost double seventy.
