Windows to the Polemics against the So-Called Jews and Jezebel In Revelation: Insights from Historical and Co(n)textual Analysis

Acknowledgement and heartfelt thanks are long due to those who have supported me in various ways during the four-year journey into the intriguing world of the Apocalypse: My husband, Kwang-San, who has endured and perhaps suffered for his whole-hearted support to his wife for her life-dream of contributing to biblical interpretation; whom, I hope it is not too late to recompense for the years of my absence— My supervisors, Professor Larry Hurtado and Dr Helen Bond, for their unfailing support in giving shape to the thesis through their critique and suggestions, and their untiring reading of numerous drafts of the thesis. Whatever errors that remain are of my (un)doing! Special thanks go to Professor Hurtado for extending his support into the confines of family meals at Christmas. Thanks go to Chinese Evangelical Church in Edinburgh, which has given me a place to belong and a chance to serve, and to Pasir Panjang Hill Brethren Church (Singapore) for gladly offering financial support during the years of study. I also thank Panacea Society (UK) and TCA College (Trinity Christian Centre, Singapore) for providing a year of scholarship each. It is to the latter that I return to serve. My family members have been fully supportive of my endeavour. Thanks to them and many friends unnamed. All have a share in the fruits of this research, and indeed have contributed to the ministry of Biblical scholarship. I also think of sojourners along the pathway of research, particularly the THECE (Theologically Hopeful Ethnic Chinese in Edinburgh), whose companionship, jokes and laughter have made this path an enjoyable one. A number of scholars, Professor Jan Bremmer and Professor E. Mary Smallwood, with whom my path has delightfully crossed, have engendered faith in myself at what I was doing. Both willingly offered their expertise and read portions of the thesis. I thank especially Professor Bremmer, without whose initial kind reception to ideas in what is now Chapter Seven, Part Two of the thesis would not have taken off as smoothly. His constant support has been a source of encouragement. Last but not least, it was God, I believe, who had (through the prayer support of family and friends) enabled times of breakthrough, which opened up pathways in what seemed like cul-de-sac. I was truly amazed when those moments happened, and the exclamation of ‘heurēka’ accompanied one of those moments.
