Before this salvation is over, the great battle o• Armageddon must be fought, which will be the mos• terrible day of battle that ever was. Turk and Pope, and House of Austria, &c. the great Dragon of the bottomless pit acting and breathing in them all▪ you must expect that they will rally their broken forces, and combine together to destroy the Kingdom of Christ amongst Jews and Gentiles, and thi• will cause trouble and amazement, and a great shaking over all the earth, Rev. 16.13, 14. Besides, before this day, God will be very terrible in his doings amongst the Children of men, he will overthrow great Kingdoms, and make Nations desolate and bring defenced Cities into ruinous heaps: And therefore if now the time should be at hand wherein this mighty work shall be brought to pass, you must expect to hear that the devouring plagues of God are utterly consuming all things. Look then to hear of Pestilencies, Fires, Wars among the Nations, such as the like was never known since the world began. All Europe, Asia, and Africa, will be in a ⟨p. 37⟩flame, when this day is come. (z)Asia is like to be in a flame of War between Israelites and Turks, Europe between the followers of the Lamb, and the followers of the beast, the worshippers of Christ and Antichrist; yea, then you must look to hear such dreadful, doleful things, that the first hearing of them will make your hearts to ache, ears to tingle, and your souls within you to stand amazed with horror. Consider Luke 21.25, 26, 27, 28.—[Greek or Hebrew], &c.
