Early ECFs and Queen/Babylon in Revelation

[LittleLambofJesus]

What are the differences in views between the Orthodox and RCs on that Great City in Revelation? I am sure Protestants view it differently than either of those Denominations I believe. Just curious.

Luke 19:41 And as He nears, beholding the City and He laments on Her,

Reve 18:9 and shall be lamenting and shall be wailing over Her the kings of the land, the ones with her fornicating and indulging, whenever they may be observing the smoke of the fireing of Her

 

[LittleLambofJesus]

So there is little to almost nothing written about that Queen in Revelation before the Bible was put together?

 

[LittleLambofJesus]

Here is the verse again. How do either Orthodox or Catholics view this Queen? Thanks

Revelation 18:7 As much as glorifies herself and indulges, be giving to Her tormenting and mourning. That in Her heart she is saying 'I am sitting a Queen and Widow not I am and mourning not I shall be seeing'.

JEZEBEL
There is one name in the Bible that no parents would think to give to their daughter, and that name is Jezebel. The name Jezebel sweeps across the pages of the Bible. The typical Jezebel of the Old Testament was the daughter of Ethbaal, king of Tyre and Sidon. The name Ethbaal means "with Baal." Prior to becoming king, Ethbaal was a priest to the goddess

B.W. Johnson, 1891; 1) Egypt, 2) Assyria, 3) Babylon, 4) Media & Persia, 5) Greece, 6) Rome, 7) Eastern Roman Empire.

Revelation written AD 67, after Antipas martyred in AD 66 (Josephus);
5 fallen (#s 1-5), one is (Pagan Rome), one to come (Eastern Roman Empire).

8th Head = Spiritual Babylon.

Babylon fell (Rev 18.2) in One Day (18.8), in One Hour (18.10).

Ond Day from battle of Magenta, June 4, 1859 to May 1860, and battle of Two Sicilies with Garibaldi and his "thousand redshirts" winning.

One Hour, September 20, 1870, "Papacy and Pope Pius IX run out of Rome." Pope Pius declared himself. "The prisoner of the Vatican."

The Pope is still, "The Prisoner of the Vatican."

These three battles are recorded in all encyclopedias; see: "Italy."

They are also recorded in Millennial Bible Commentaries; William Hurte, 1889; B.W. Johnson, 1891; Henry H, Halley, 1945.

But all truth has been banned by the Ecumenical Movement since 1948.

B.W. Johnson, 1891;

Thanks but I was looking more for early ECFs before the 4th or 5th Century. I have my own "Jewish" view on that "queen". Thanks for the response though.

Jeremiah 17:1 Sin of Y@huwdah written with a reed-pen of iron, in nail of corundum, being engrossed on tablet of the heart of them, and to horns of altars of ye, [2 Thess 2:3,4 Luke 16:24]

Hosea 10:8 And they are destroyed high places of vanity/aw'-ven, Sin of Yisra'el. Thorn and weed shall come up on their altars, and they say to mountains 'conceal-ye-us' and to hills 'fall-ye on-us' [Luke 23:30/Reve 6:16]

Revelation 11:2 and the court, the without of the sanctuary, be thou Casting-Out/ek-bale <1544> (5628)! out-side, and no her thou should be measuring,

Revelation 9:13 And the sixth messenger trumpets, and I hear a voice, one, out of the Four Horns of the Altar, the Golden, the one before the God,

What were the Orthodox's view of the harlot of Babylon? Just curious.

 

[LittleLambofJesus]

Even though Revelation was not canonized until about the 4th century, who is not to say that it was not being read in the 1st or 2nd century? Why is now Christianity so enamored in this book? Perhaps it would have been best if the early church would have just "dumped it" as much good as it does today. Thoughts?

 

[mercutio1562]

interesting thread. thought provoking.

 

[martymonster]

Sorry guys!

You're not even close to finding out who the great harlot is.

The Great City is Rome, also know as the "City of the Seven Hills." The names of blasphemy upon each one was a pagan god name.

CHURCH FATHERS: Commentary on the Apocalypse (Victorinus)

This is a good read from a Church father.

This is who I was going to offer and he wrote very early on in Christian history.

LLoJ this is the guy I quote for Revelation when I post in reply to yours.

Ok thks JtC. I disagree with his commentary on the 1000yr period as my view is, after the last bowl is poured out in Revelation 16, it is ALL Finished....Kaput......Nothing left.
I view Armegeddon and Gog-magon as one and the same event, also I see OC Jerusalem as the "Harlot" not "Rome"
Revelation is also HORRIBLY translated in my vew


Luke 21:28 Beginning yet to-be-becoming/ginesqai <1096> (5738) these-things, up-bend! and lift up! the heads of ye, thru-that is nearing the redemption of ye [Daniel 12/Reve 16/21]

Reve 16:17 and the seventh messenger pours out the bowl of him into the air and came out voice great from the sanctuary of-the heaven from the throne saying "it has become"/gegonen <1096> (5754). [Reve 21:6]

Reve 21:6 And He said to me: "it-has-become/gegonen <1096> (5754). [Reve 16:17]

Always gotta be different don't ya...

Just playin with ya LLoJ. I have had this conversation before with you and know some of your thinking.

But you may be able to view Revelation in ways you have not considered by reading his work.

Hi, the Apocalypse of John was confirmed as extant by Irenaeus circa 180AD and the document is actually dated around either 70AD or 95AD or so I believe...
