About this title

Synopsis

Knowledge Of The Times, Or, The Resolution Of The Question, How Long It Shall Be Unto The End Of Wonders by John Tillinghast is a seventeenth?century theological treatise that surveys biblical prophecy to fix a timetable for the end of the world and the advent of Christ’s visible kingdom. The work argues that the era of the Fifth Monarchy, Christ’s outward rule, will succeed the Fourth Monarchy of Rome, and that saints shall endure trial yet ultimately prevail. It is organized in three major sections: a justification of the inquiry, a detailed exegesis of Daniel’s prophecies (the Great Image, the four Beasts, and the Little Horn), and a chronology tying together biblical timeframes with historical figures such as Cyrus, Darius, Artaxerxes, and Nehemiah to establish a definite beginning and end for the prophetic periods. The text emphasizes a strict, scripture?based hermeneutic and urges readers to await and endure, with the promise that divine timing will unfold in due course.
