Symposium on Revelation: Introductory and Exegetical Studies, Book 1
Overview
This book discusses not only how the Apocalypse is structured and how it should be interpreted, but also how Revelation relates to Daniel and other Old Testament prophecies. It includes in-depth discussions on how to understand the seven seals and the seven trumpets.
Top Highlights
“In short, the very nature of apocalyptic prophecy rules out preterism, futurism, and any combination of them, in favor of the historicist approach. This fact is vital and has important theological implications for our study of the Apocalypse.” (Page 18)
“where their [the two witnesses’] Lord was crucified” (Page 20)
“When we consider this chiastic structure of Revelation, we immediately see that it aligns well with the twofold theme stated in the prologue and epilogue. The first major part of the book (chaps. 1–14) deals with the era in which the Alpha and Omega is the protector and sustainer of His people in spite of trial and persecution that may come their way. The second major part of the book, beginning with chapter 15, deals with eschatological judgments that cluster around and center in the consummation of the age: Christ’s second advent.” (Page 30)
“In short, apocalyptic prophecy sets forth a historical progression that allows no room for variability, as God foretells what ‘must shortly come to pass’ (Rev 1:1, KJV).” (Page 21)
“Daniel 7, 8, and 11 are what we may call outline prophecies,” (Page 335)
