Clement of Rome
Read it now | Early Church Fathers | Table of Contents | North Forest
The purpose of this article is to show the end-time viewpoint in the writing of Clement of Rome who died around 99 A.D.
Pope Clement I (called Clemens Romanus to distinguish him from the Alexandrian), is the first of the successors of St. Peter of whom anything definite is known, and he is the first of the Apostolic Fathers. Of the life and death of St. Clement nothing is known. At about 160 A.D. the death of St. Clement was believed to have been in 99 A.D.
Clement of Rome does not make any statements which clearly favor premillennialism.
Clement of Rome
The First Epistle Of Clement To The Corinthians
From Chapter L -- Let Us Pray to be Thought Worthy of Love.
All the generations from Adam even unto this day have passed away; but those who, through the grace of God, have been made perfect in love, now possess a place among the godly, and shall be made manifest at the revelation of the kingdom of Christ. For it is written, "Enter into thy secret chambers for a little time, until my wrath and fury pass away; and I will remember a propitious day, and will raise you up out of your graves."
- Implies that the kingdom of Christ occurs after the resurrection.
- Doesn't specify anything about this kingdom could be (1) a 1,000 millennium on earth or could be (2) the same as eternity in heaven.
