A third Scripture, to prove that the Turk must be destroyed before the tribes of Israel be saved, is that, Rev. 16.12. The sixth Angel poured out his vial upon the great River Euphrates, and the water ⟨p. 31⟩ther••• was dried up, that the way of the Kings of the East might be prepared. Now by Kings of the East, the Israelitish Nation may be signified; for Israelites are so called in Scripture even Kings, or a Kingdom of Priests, Exod. 19.2. And there are that think (though that interpretation of the place is not to me satisfying) that by ^(p)Kings of the earth, Isa. 24.21. the Jewish Nation is meant. However the Scripture puts upon them a royal appellation, and they may be termed Kings of the East, because when the Israelites shall be converted, they shall especially come forth out of the Eastern parts of the world. Therefore in that place before mentioned in Daniel, it is said, that tidings out of the East should trouble the (Turk) King of the North: And such a thing as this I do believe is intimated, Ezek. 43.2. where it is said, Behold the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the East, and his voice was like the noise of many waters, and the earth shined with his glory: Consider the place, with Rev. 19.6. But then what is meant by Euphrates, which must be dried up for the Kings of the East?
