Vincent, [1886]\nA rod\nSee on Rev 2:27.\nAnd the angel stood\nOmit. The insertion of these words furnishes a subject for the agreement of the participle \u03bb\u03ad\u03b3\u03c9\u03bd, which is irregular an construction.

He maintains that the conception of the Apocalypse is powerfully molded by John's recollections of the life of Jesus; that there is a close parallelism between the Apocalypse and the delineation of the life of Christ contained in the fourth Gospel; and that the Apocalypse is, in the deeper conceptions which pervade it, a repetition of the Gospel. See pp. 59-69.\nThey shall prophesy (\u03c0\u03c1\u03bf\u03c6\u03b7\u03c4\u03b5\u03cd\u03c3\u03bf\u03c5\u03c3\u03b9\u03bd)\nSee on prophet, Luk 7:26.
