A NEW TRANSLATION
OF
THE FIRST FIVE CHAPTERS
OF THE
APOCALYPSE
BY THE AUTHOR
CHAP. 1:
A messenger from John in exile in Patmos would have crossed to Ephesus and then taken a circular route. The seven ecclesias are listed in the order he would have visited them
Most people claim that The Apocalypse is too deep and enigmatical to be understood. But it’s style constitutes a challenge to faith. In delivering it to John for the benefit of “his servants”, the Lord treated them as “his friends”.
The most celebrated commentary upon the remarkable prophecy transmitted from unapproachable light, now commonly known as THE APOCALYPSE, is that of the Home Apocalypticoe, by the Rev. E. B. Elliott, A.M., late Vicar of Tuxford, and Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, England. It consists of four volumes octavo, containing altogether, exclusive of the Index, 2,415 pages.
