How did congregational and Presbyterian ministers feel about the Revelation or the Revolution?
Presbyterian congregations and clergy have many different views about the Second Coming of Christ and interpretation of the Book of Revelations. If the question refers to "revolution," Presbyterians have many different views there as well, as some will insist that governments are established by God and must be obeyed, while others insist that causes of justice supercede unquestioning obedience to authority. In the American Revolution, many Presbyterians were Loyalists and moved to Canada in order to remain loyal to the British government. Other Presbyterians became strong supporters and leaders of the Revolution, including The Reverend John Witherspoon, who was among the signers of the Declaration of Independence.
