JVDB:  Father, have you looked at Kenneth Gentry's "Before Jerusalem Fell:
Dating the Book of Revelation" (he uses A LOT of quotes from the Early
Church Fathers!) and David Chilton's "The Days of Vengeance:  An Expostion
of the Book of Revelation"?  Both are excellent books I would highly
recommend...probably not what you're used to reading though...
