what shall be in the last end] What shall befall the Jewes in this last affliction, which God shall send them for a punishment of their sins: meaning that great rage of Antiochus; after which shall be revealed the great and eternall reconciliation in Christ, Daniel 9:24. &Daniel 11:36. the end shall be] There shall be a certaine prefixed time for the lasting of this calamitie. This verse strongly overthroweth their errour, which feign the Romane Monarchie to be meant by the legges of the image, Chap. 2. or by the fourth beast, Chap. 7. seeing that the Greeks are the dealers in the end of wrath spoken of Daniels people. And it had been a strange thing, that this last vision, repeating the former, should leave out the Romanes, if they had been spoken of before: seeing it were good to have that told, and God never omitted the good of his Church.
