Surely, you aren't saying Steve (I call him "Steve") Langton wrote chapter and verse numbers on the "oldest manuscripts" found.
Did Steve glue himself to any works of art or antiquities?
Just curious.

You can’t lie to a nun. We got to go in and visit the penguin.
He goes by many names in the Bible.
Maybe...
The chapter divisions commonly used today were developed by Stephen Langton, an Archbishop of Canterbury. Langton put the modern chapter divisions into place in around A.D. 1227. The Wycliffe English Bible of 1382 was the first Bible to use this chapter pattern. Since the Wycliffe Bible, nearly all Bible translations have followed Langton’s chapter divisions.
I’ve heard this put forward.
However, the examples leave me less than satisfied.
Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour.
Here are some names for the Anti Christ.. The Beast: A name for the Antichrist in Revelation 13
The Man of Lawlessness: Another name for the Antichrist in 2 Thessalonians 2
The Man of Sin: Another name for the Antichrist in 2 Thessalonians 2
The Little Horn: A name for the Antichrist in Daniel 7 and 8
The Abomination of Desolation: A name for the Antichrist in Daniel 9, 11, and 12
Not saying Prophecy of the Popes is true BUT seems to be fairly accurate and I generally shy away from these kind of things but it does have a track record and the times are ripe..
If you read it carefully, it is John quoting an angel who is the messenger.
Totally agree...
And at the same time invite the Holy Spirit or Helper Spirit into us to help us understand the true meaning.

Thanks, I had often wondered about that.

Revelation 1:10-18
I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet saying, “Write what you see in a book and send it to the seven churches, to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.”
Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest. The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters. In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength. When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, “Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades."
"a loud voice like a trumpet" --- No, not there...
"Then I turned to see the voice" --- Oh! Good! Here it comes.
"...in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man" --- Is THAT it?
But wait! Jesus is referred to as the “Son of Man” 82 times in the New Testament (NIV and ESV). In fact, Son of Man is the primary title Jesus used when referring to Himself (e.g., Matthew 12:32; 13:37; Luke 12:8; John 1:51). The only use of Son of Man in a clear reference to Jesus, spoken by someone other than Jesus, came from the lips of Stephen as he was being martyred (Acts 7:56).
Maybe I haven't found it yet. "Keep looking!" I say to myself.
"...clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest. The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters. In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength." ---
Honestly, that sounds like the glorified Jesus Christ I know. Not an "angel".
And there's this part which I already read carefully:
"But he laid his right hand on me, saying, “Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades."
Still nothing. Maybe I need to "read between the lines" more "carefully"?

Seriously...I could spend the rest of the day addressing (with evidence) all of your errors. But I won't.
212?
Isn’t that the boiling point?
The only thing worse than being tortured with reports of all-pope, all the time is knowing how much worse it will be once he dies.
I have interesting things recorded.

There was a copy of the book of Hebrews, found in the Qumran caves as part of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Will we be invited?
Not to mention Rev 20
Yes! Jesus WILL judge the living and the dead. He will separate the sheep from the goats.
There’s no middle ground.
“I have a problem…”
Yes. I see that.
LOL
That reminds me of the Climate Change countdown clock.
