Mathematical divinity, or A plain demonstration from the Holy Scriptures, that the times of this world were fore appointed by the Covenant made with Abraham: and determined to be according to the measure of the age and fulness of Christ. Kept secret since the world began, but is now made plain upon XII. tables, in a solar calendar, as familiar to the understanding as any common almanack. With full proof that this is the last generation, which shall not pass away 'till all things be fulfilled, and the gates of righteousness be opened. Being the result of many years study. / By Elias Palmer.

CHAP. X.

That the four first Generations are the Sam∣ple or Pattern of the Coming of the King∣dom of Christ into the World from the time of the Promise made to Abraham.

THese four first Generations our Translators have translated 1000 Generations, but the Original Words Aleph Dor signifie no more than the first or former Age; and Bildad the Shuite calls this Age Dor Roshim, the first or former Age, and sends Job to enquire after it, for saith

he, Our dayes upon Earth are a shadow; as if he had said, The first Age is, as indeed it is, Gno∣mon Mundi temporum, the Index of the times of the World.

This first Age is called the Bounds of the World, which our Fathers have made, and no Man can reduce or alter them, Prov. 22. 33.

Jacob calls them the utmost Bounds of the Hills or Kingdoms of this World; our Bibles translate them Everlasting Hills, Gen. 49. 26.

This first Age was Ordained in Joseph for a Witness of the time, when the First-born shall be Disinherited, as Ruben was, and Joseph re∣leased from Prison to Rule the House of Pha∣raoh, Psal. 81.

From this first Age the Measures of the Gene∣rations of the Breast-plate of Judgment are ta∣ken for the 12 Tribes of Israel.

Moses calls this first Age the Dayes of the World, because the Dayes of the World are from hence computed, and the End of the World is declared from this Beginning.

Joseph was a Type of Christ, he was made Ruler in Egypt at the end of 210 Years, but in the middle of those 210 Years Abraham dyeth.

So at the End or sooner Determination of 49 times 70 Year from the time that God went down with Jacob into Egypt, our Lord shall be King over all the World; but in the middle of these 49 times 70 years he dyed at Jerusulem, 1715 years after God went down with Jacob in∣to Egypt.
