And this shall be the End of Messiah Ben Joseph, or Ephraim; Armillus having received § 15 a defeat by Nehemiah Ben Husiel, [Greek or Hebrew], he sha•• gather the forces of all the Nations of the world into the valley of decision, [Greek or Hebrew], and shall fight with Israel; [Greek or Hebrew], And they shall slay of them (of Armillus his Army) heaps (or multitudes) on heaps, and they shall finite a few of Israel, and they shall slay the Messiah of the Lord. [Greek or Hebrew]; And the ministering Angels shall come and perfuming his body shall lay it up with the ancient Fathers; where it is to be kept many days without putrefaction, as Hectors Body was (in Homer) after he was slain by Achilles. And it is not unlikely but that they may allude somewhat to the Prophecy of the two Witnesses, Rev. 11. who were to be slain and afterwards called up to Heaven. Thus do they at their pleasure dispose of this creature of their own; for having framed him themselves he is their own to do with him what they will, alive and dead. But that which is the poison and ⟨p. 132⟩sting of this Fable is, that the death of this fictitious Messiah, must amongst them bear all that is spoken in the Scripture, or continued by Tradition concerning the Humiliation, suffering, and death of the true Messiah of the Lord.
