Goto Revelation Download Part 3 Goto Part 1 About - RevelationWRITER: John the apostleDATE: About A.D. 95THEORIES OF INTERPRETATION:There have been many approaches to this book, but these can be divided into four major systems (Broadus lists seven theories of interpretation; Tragelles lists 3): 1. Preterist theory: All of Revelation has been fulfilled in the past. It had to do with local references in John’s day. It had to do with the days of either Nero or Domitian. The view was held by Renan and most German scholars, also by Elliott. 2. Historical theory: Fulfillment of Revelation is going on in history, and Revelation is the prophetic history of the church, according to this theory. 3. Historical-spiritual theory: This theory is
a refinement of the historical theory and was advanced by Sir William
Ramsay. It states that the two beasts are Imperial and Provincial
Rome. The point of the book is to encourage Christians. According
to this theory, Revelation has been largely fulfilled and there
are spiritual lessons for the church today. Amillennialism, for
the most part, has adopted this view. It dissipates and defeats
the purpose of the book. STRIKING FEATURES:
