                                                      Chapter 25

ST. JOHN, IN THE APOCALYPSE, EQUALLY EXPLICIT IN ASSERTING THE SAME GREAT DOCTRINE.

 In the Revelation of John, again, the order of these times is spread out to view, which “The souls of the martyrs” are taught to wait for beneath the altar, whilst they earnestly pray to be avenged and judged: (taught, I say to wait), in order that the world may first drink to the dregs the plagues that await it out of the vials of the angels,  and that the city of fornication may receive from the ten kings its deserved doom, and  that  the beast  Anti-christ with his false prophet may wage war on the church of God


Next, the words of:   
Cyprian (200-258)


Back to:    The Second Coming of Christ    or,    Early Church Fathers
