Ticonius — on Rev 3:12 (COMMENTARY ON THE APOCALYPSE 3:12)

Patristic A.D. 390
Ticonius · d. A.D. 390
“"And I will write on him the name of my God." That is, we are signed with the name of Christian. "And the name of the city of the new Jerusalem which comes down from my God out of heaven." The name of the church that daily comes down from God out of heaven, that is, from the church that is reborn by the Lord. He speaks of it as new because of the newness of the Son of man who is the new Jerusalem.… "Indeed, the name which is above every name." However, this name is not new because it refers to the Son of God, who existed before the world and possessed this glory with the Father. Rather, this name is new in regard to the Son of man who died and on the third day rose again and, ascending to the heavens, sits at the right hand of the Father. For it is the Son of man who said "my new name," whom [John] saw "in the midst of the seven lampstands." This Son of man is God "at whose name every knee bows, in heaven and on earth and under the earth."”
