Subject: Mark of the Beast |
Bible Note: Mark: You're saying the book of Revelation is not apocalyptic literature? I have three questions. 1) In Revelation 1:1, what is the Greek word that is translated by the English word "revelation"? 2) What is the etymology of the English word "revelation"? 3) How do you define the word "apocalytpic"? I do not have a definition for it. I barely know how to spell it. But, is there a definition of the word that is different from the dictionary definition? (I really don't know and sincerely want to learn.) Another way to put it is: what are your criteria for determining whether a book of the Bible is of the apocalyptic genre? Grace to you, Kalos |
