§ 12 He adds, In the other Prophets, the Restoration of the Christian Church from the Babylon of Antichrist, is in like Types proportionably represented. Isa. 10. & 11. & 13, 14. Jer. 50 & 51. Apoc. 14.6.7, 8. & 16.19. & 15.7. & 18.2, 10, 21.
§ 12 He adds, In the other Prophets, the Restauration of the Christian Church from the Babylon of Antichrist, is in like Types proportionably represented. Isa. 10. & 11. & 13, 14. Jer. 50 & 51. Apoc. 14.6.7, 8. & 16.19. & 15.7. & 18.2, 10, 21.
Answ. I know not what is understood by, represented in the like Types; Here are no Types in this Prophecy, but a naked Prediction of the State and continuance of the Judaical Church until the coming of the Messiah, and of the Work that he should accomplish at his coming, with the effects and consequences thereof. To allow Types in these things, is to enervate all the Prophecies which we have of him in the Old Testament. (2.) The places directed unto in Isaiah and Jeremiah, intend not the deliverance of the Christian Churches, unless it be [Greek or Hebrew], and that in expressions no way coincident with, or suited unto this Prophecy. (3.) Where any thing is represented in a Type, there must be an accomplishment of somewhat answerable unto it in the Type its self; and such was the deliverance of the Israelites from Babylon of old insisted on by those Prophets. But here our Author allows no such Type, but refers the whole Prophecy, firstly and only unto the Christian Churches. (4.) In the Revelation indeed the deliverance of the Churches of Christ from Antichristian Persecution is foretold, which hinders not but that the coming and suffering of the Messiah, may be immediately intended, as undoubtedly it is, in this place.
