The scheme of divine providence upon which the Christian religion is founded; set forth in an essay on the prophetic writings of the Old and New Testament, particularly, on the books of Daniel, Esdras, and the Apocalyspe [sic]; interspers'd with remarks historical, political, and critical, serving to prove the divine authority of the book, commonly called the second book of Esdras; to set forth the Connection which Reigns between each Visionary Scene of which these Books are Composed, and the Dependence which they have on the Rest of the Prophecies contained in Sacred Writ; to explain the Emblems and Figurative Expressions made use of therein; and to illustrate the Whole. They have seduced my People, saying, Peace and there was no Peace; and one Built up a Wall, or as it is in the Margin, a Slight Wall, and others daubed it with untempered Morter: Say unto them that daub it with untempered Morter, that it shall fall. Ezek. xiii. 10, 11. Number II. This Number treats of Daniel's Dream, Chap. vii. and shews that Anti-Christ shall arise in the German Empire, and destroy three of the Electoral Powers thereof, and subdue the People of the Saints of the most High for the space of three Years and an half, before the Introduction of the Kingdom of God into the World.
