Overview Of The Book Of Revelation

A preterite view of the book of Revelation, both Daniel and John forecast the Great Tribulation of 67-70 A.D. They also predict the “vials” of God’s wrath being poured out on the Roman Empire at the time of Domitian the “little horn” (92-96 A.D.). This overview shows the Lake of Fire to be synonymous with the “burning flame” of Daniel 7:11. Armageddon will be shown to be the name of the symbolic battle. “Gog and Magog” is the symbolic name of the “nations” fighting with the Roman Empire against the rider on the white horse (Jesus). The resurrections of Daniel 12:1-3 and Revelation 20:4-7 will be shown to be synonymous. Two distinct 3 1/2 year periods of time are set forth in Daniel and Revelation. They are referred to as “Times, Time, and Half a Time.” The Great Tribulation is shown to be synonymous with the 1,000-year reign.
