The Author of Abkath R•chel, gives us somewhat another account of his Nativity. The People of all Nations, saith he, allured with the beauty of the Image, shall come to Rome, and commit fornication with it, from whose uncleanness at length Armillus shall be born. The same Author after a description of his stature and bigness, (for he shall be twelve Cubits high, and as broad as he is long) with his hair, eyes, and whole complexion, gives us also an account of his Actions and proceedings. First, therefore he shall give himself out to the [Greek or Hebrew] Heretics, (that is Christians) to be their Messiah, who gave them their Law; saying unto them, [Greek or Hebrew] I am Messiah, I am your God; and they shall presently embrace him, and give him their [Greek or Hebrew], or Prayer Books, acknowledging him to be the Author of them. After this by the help of the Edomites (Romans) he shall conquer many Nations, until coming unto the Jews, he shall require of them to receive him as their Messiah, and the Author of their Law. But these good Jews shall with one consent oppose him, under the Conduct of Messiah Ben Joseph, and Nehemiah the Son of Husiel says one, of Menachem the Son of Ammiel says another. And in this War shall Messiah Ben Joseph be slain, as it is written, Zech. 12. v. 10.
