Thietland of Einsiedeln, on Rev 20:1
Thietland of Einsiedeln · c. A.D. 945
Rev 20:1 · Douay-Rheims
“And I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit, and a great chain in his hand.”
On this verse:
“key to the bottomless pit. this is because he has in his power the hearts of those whom he hardens, and of those whom he opens to believing. The bottomeless pit is the great number of the faithful peoples, because just as it is incomprehensible, so also is the great number of peoples.”
