My faithful martyr
Rev 2:13 I know thy works, and where
thou dwellest, [even] where Satan's
seat [is]: and thou holdest fast my
name, and hast not denied my faith,
even in those days wherein Antipas
[was] my faithful martyr, who
was slain among you,
where Satan dwelleth.
Jesus calls
Antipas my faithful martyr
AND
Antipas is the only follower
actually named as martyr in Revelation.
Antipas was a leader in the church
at Pergamos in 83 AD
Antipas was later martred in
Pergamos on April 11, 90 AD
It is said that Antipas was
consecrated bishop of Pergamos
by the Apostle John himself!
Well,
that certainly makes sense now
Irenaeus speaks of Revelation
Irenaeus (circa 180 AD)
says of the book--
"For it was seen, not a long time
ago, but almost in our own generation,
at the END of the reign of Domitian"
(Adv. Haer., v.30, 3).
And St John was exiled to the Isle of
Patmos by Domitian in 95 AD
Domitian was Emperor of Rome from
September 14, 81 AD - September 18, 96 AD
Here´s Domitian´s coin
