4 Mains Views of Revelation Interpretive School Basic Approach to Revelation Preterist Believe that the events of Revelation were fulfilled beginning in A.D. 70 with the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans. Historicist View the book of Revelation as an overview of church history, describing various times of persecution and tribulation. Idealist Interpret Revelation symbolically, as a non-literal depiction of the battle between God and the satanic forces of evil. Futurist View Revelation 4-22 as a prophetic account of actual future events, specifically focused on the end of this age.

Millennium Mess Post-Millennialist2 nd Coming is post 1000 yr reign Pre-Millennialist2 nd Coming is pre 1000 yr reign Millennialist2 nd Coming will arrive gradually A-Millennialist1000 yr is not literal Dispute about the 2 nd Coming of Jesus and the 1000 reign (Rev 20)

Lenses for Revelation Purpose God is SOVEREIGN and his children may be persecuted but GOD will be victorious, and they will be vindicated! Be Familiar with the OT Revelation has more Old Testament references than any other New Testament book. Out of 404 verses, there are 278 Old Testament allusions by one count. (Exodus, Daniel, Zechariah) Symbols & Numbers Painting a picture, not writing a research paper

Numbers in Revelation 2 -Strength, confirmation 3 - God 3 ½ -Incompleteness 4 - Completeness, worldwide 5 -human completeness 6 - Man, incomplete, imperfect 7 - Completeness 12 - Unity in diversity –God’s People Fullness and Completeness

Apocalyptic Writings "Apocalyptic speech is lurid in its colors and very often violent in its tone. It strikes the imagination and grabs hold of the mind. Who, having read of it, can forget the seven- headed sea beast or the scarlet prostitute on its back? Whose mind does not boggle over the falling of the stars and the rolling up of the heavens? Apocalyptic speech is vivid and easily remembered. It appeals to our imagination. It is the language of conflict and victory. It is the language used when God smites the oppressor and vindicates his people. It is the language of crisis if not of persecution.” –Jim McGuiggan (COC)
