The Time of their Prophesying is 1260, days, verse 3. The same number of 1260. the WOMAN (that is to say, the Church of God) is fed in the Wilderness, chap. 12.6. ⟨p. 9⟩to wit, by those Ministers and Prophets, who are the Witnesses of Christ, as aforesaid. Which 1260. days, counting 30. days for a month, make forty two months, which is the time that the holy City (viz. the Church of God) shall be trodden underfoot by the Gentiles, vers. 2. that is to say, by the Papists and Popish Idolaters, who for their Spiritual Idolatry in the Worship of God, are called Gentiles, as the great City, Mystical Babylon, Spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, vers. 8. And the number of forty two months is the time that was given unto the Beast (viz. Antichrist, that Man of Sin, and Son of Perdition, to wit, the Antichristian Politic and Ecclesiastic Power and Dominion) to continue, and to prevail, Chap. 13.5, 7. Hereby it doth plainly appear, that as the time of the Gentiles who tread the holy City underfoot, chap. 11.2. and the time of the Beast, that doth make war with the Saints, and Witnesses of the LORD, and overcome them, and kill them, chap. 13.5, 7. & 11.7. are one and the same time of forty two months; so the time of the WOMAN, who is fed in the Wilderness chap. 12.6. and the time of the two Witnesses prophesying in Sackcloth, chap. 11.3. are one and the same time of 1260. ⟨p. 10⟩days. And it hereby also appears that all these four are contemporary, all beginning and ending together; and besides that which is noted touching these four, and their time in the Scripture of Truth, both the Antiquity of Ecclesiastical History, and the late Expositors of this Book of the Revelation, do give a Testimony unto the same, affirming, that when the Beast began to exercise his Tyrannical Power, and Antichristian Dominion over the Saints, then the Holy City began to be trodden under foot, then the Woman fled into the Wilderness, and then the two Witnesses began to Prophesy in Sackcloth.
