Revelation Six With "Bad Eschatology, Part 4 - Pretrib History"

 

Bad Eschatology, Part 4 - Pretrib History

An Honest Error and a Corrupt Fable Meet The Printing Press

(Part 3 is here)


Irenaeus was a good guy from a great church (Smyrna). Jesus spoke highly of them in the Book of Revelation, so it shouldn't surprise us that such a godly group would produce someone like Irenaeus. To add even more buff to his reputation, the Apostle John discipled Polycarp, and Polycarp discipled Irenaeus.

You'd want to listen to someone with THAT background.

However, just because the teacher of your teacher was the Apostle John, won't always mean that you deserve such respect. But, when a church in Gaul - now France - needed a pastor, Smyrna sent Irenaeus. And, he was at the right place at the right time to help lead the fight against Gnostic heresies, and is famous for his treatise, Against Heresies.

Thank you for reading Revelation Six. This post is public so feel free to share it.
