A

KEY TO THE APOCALYPSE,

DISCOVERED AND DEMONSTRATED

FROM THE INTERNAL AND INSERTED

CHARACTERS OF THE VISIONS.

FOR THE USE OF THOSE

WHOM GOD HAS ENDUED WITH THE LOVE AND DESIRE OF KNOWING

AND INVESTIGATING THAT WONDERFUL PROPHECY.

FROM THE LATEST EDITION, REVISED BY THE AUTHOR, THE

REV. JOSEPH MEDE.

"Blessed is he that readeth, (or interpreteth) and they that hear, (or listen to him that interpreteth) the words of this Prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein, for the time is at hand."-APOCALYPSE, chap. i. ver. 3.

That is, the time is even now come, when those things have begun to be fulfilled, and they will be fulfilled more and more from day to day.

The synchronism and order of the Apocalyptical Prophecies, according to the things transacted, on no hypothetical interpretation, nor preconjecture about the events; but firmly demonstrated from the very characters of the visions themselves, purposely inserted by the Holy Spirit, and offered to examination according to a self-evident scheme: so that it may prove, as it were, a Thesean clew to those who are involved in this sacred labyrinth, and a Lydian stone to discover the true, and to refute every erroneous interpretation.

PREVIOUS REMARKS.

1. I CALL a synchronism of the prophecies a concurrence of events predicted therein within the same time; which may be called a contemporary or coetaneous period; for prophecies of contemporary things synchronize.
