Campegius Vitringa

When locating prophetic outcomes, he would associate events to the near rather than the far-off future, placing a distinct focus on the period of the Maccabees (2nd Century BC).

[4] Vitringa’s two chief works are his dissertation on the synagogue, De Synagoga Vetere Libri Tres (Franeker, 1685; 2d ed.

His other works include, Sacrarum Observationum Libri Sex (Franeker, 1683-1708)[5] and Anacrisis Apocalypseos Joannis Apostoli (1705).

[1] Vitringa’s most notable work was Anacrisis Apocalypseos Joannis Apostoli (1705), which was considered a major event, in the history of prophetic theology at the turn of the 18th century.

Vitringa’s work was regarded the first major study to analyze the Book of Revelation as a structured chronological outline of the history of the Christian church.
