4ly, There is something yet further in the Book of the Revelations pointing to the conversion of the Jews. For it is remarkable, that the Apocalypse speaketh Hebrew three several times, though only in three words, but still in passages very applicable to the Jews. 1. It is said of the King of the Locusts (which is Antichrist) (o)that his name in the Hebrew tongue, is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue, his name is Apollyon. It is said by some of the Book of the Revelations, That ⟨image ?⟩every word is a mystery; certainly some words therein are so more eminently, and among others these two, Abaddon and Apollyon; both signifying, one that is a destroyer, viz. of men, such as is Antichrist; And his name is here expressed both in Hebrew and Greek. 1.
