Background on Gregory of Nyssa
In his own words on Revelation
- Revelation 20:2
Do we romance about three Resurrections? Do we promise the gluttony of the Millennium? Do we declare that the Jewish animal-sacrifices shall be restored? Do we lower men's hopes again to the Jerusalem below, imagining its rebuilding with stones of a more brilliant material?
Letter 17, To Eustathia, Ambrosia, and Basilissa
