Note 3 — Chapter I · THE WEEK
Reading edition
The view that St John is here representing himself as rapt in vision to the time of judgment spoken of by St Paul (1 Cor. i. 8; 2 Thess. ii. 2) is the only other interpretation which deserves serious consideration. (For the view mentioned see Hort, Apocalypse, p. 15.) But it does not, as it seems to the present writer, dislodge the commonly accepted view.
