John Bellamy 1755 - 1842 was a controversial Biblical Scholar who produced a new translation of the Bible from the Hebrew texts, and he was a follower of Emanuel Swedenborg (David S. Katz, God’s Last Words: Reading the English Bible from the Reformation to Fundamentalism, (Yale University Press, 9 Feb 2004). Page 308).
