Similarly, during the time of fulfillment of New Testament Revelation, the promised pastor, new John, received the scroll in Rv 10 and came to deliver to the churches what he had seen and heard(Rv 22:8, 16). However, the pastors and believers of both the Catholic and Protestant churches did not believe him and, like in Rv 11, killed him(spiritually killed). Yet, just as Jesus rose again at his first coming(see Mt 28), new John also rose again at Jesus’ second coming(Rv 11:11-12). Just as Jesus was born in the impov...
