Revelation? Answer: Idealist9,
Futurist10, Historic11, and
9 The Idealist approach declares the
Book of Revelations deals not with
historical occasions, but rather withaxioms, principles or ideas which
govern our lives and which characterize
Gods control over history. (Greg
Bahnsens Outline page 140)10 The Futurist approach declares the
Book of Revelations deals the events of
the central prophecies pertain to the
distant future with reference to John-namely, they are events which will
immediately precede the coming of Christ
at the end of this age (or dispensation),
as well as events to transpire in the
establishment and end of the millennial
kingdom. (Greg Bahnsens Outline page
140)
11
The Historicist approach declares theBook of Revelations claims the events of
the book take places successively
throughout the span of the church

Preterist12. I take a
Preterist/Historic approach. How
the early church dwelt withthese events is a great example
to the church of all ages.
Q6 - History and Prophecies
When will the majority of main
future prophecies of the Book of
Revelation fulfilled?Answer: Theinternal evidence demands that
history (from Johns day to the end of theage). (Greg Bahnsens Outline page 140)
12 The Preterist approach declares the
Book of Revelations claims the main
prophecies of the book pertain to event
which was to transpire in the near future
or briefly after Johns writing; as such,
they are for the most part past tense to
us now, having occurred in the days ofthe ancient church. (Greg Bahnsens
Outline page 140)

most of the main prophecies have
already past history to us13. So
great was the since of urgencythat prophecies were not sealed in
contrast to Daniels instructions
13 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which
God gave Him to show to His bond-
servants, the things which must soontake place; and He sent and
communicated it by His angel to His
bond-servant John, - Revelation 1:1.
Blessed is he who reads and those whohear the words of the prophecy, and heed
the things which are written in it; for the
time is near. - Revelation 1:3. Blessed is
he who reads and those who hear the
words of the prophecy, and heed the
things which are written in it; for the
time is near. - Revelation 1:3. Blessed is
he who reads and those who hear the
words of the prophecy, and heed thethings which are written in it; for the
time is near. - Revelation 1:3.

by God to seal the prophecies
given to him14.
Q7 - Rules of Hermeneutics
What are the three basic rules of
Hermeneutics we should follow
when interpreting the Book of
Revelations? Genre analysis of the
lecture, scripture interprets
scripture, and it must be readaccording to its historical context.
14 "Seventy weeks have been decreed for
your people and your holy city, to finish
the transgression, to make an end of sin,
to make atonement for iniquity, to bring
in everlasting righteousness, to seal up
vision and prophecy and to anoint the
most holy place. - Daniel 9:24. "But as
for you, Daniel, conceal these words and
seal up the book until the end of time;many will go back and forth, and
knowledge will increase." - Daniel 12:4

Q8 - Why study Revelations
What is the end result of a studyof the Book of Revelations?
Answer: To have a Biblical
exegesis understanding of the
Book of Revelations15.
Q9 - How was it
communicated to John
15 Exegesis (from the Greek
from 'to lead out') is a criticalexplanation or interpretation of a text,
especially a religious text. Traditionally
the term was used primarily for exegesis
of the Bible; however, in contemporary
usage it has broadened to mean a critical
explanation of any text, and the term
"Biblical exegesis" is used for greater
specificity. The goal of Biblical exegesis is
to explore the meaning of the text whichthen leads to discovering its significance
or relevance. (http://tinyurl.com/ams4n

by sign. For example by types,
parables, word pictures.Q10 - Genre

strict literally voice, never when
he is using a figurative voice17.

servants, the things which must soon

communicated (Signaled) it by His angel
to His bond-servant John, - Revelation

The Book of Revelation uses allot
of types and word pictures, reader
beware it is a true test on justhow well you know the rest of the
Bible.
Q11 - How do you deal withsymbols
Do the multiple symbols listed in
the same verse or verses alwaysrun together? No, you must be
careful not be careless when
working with symbols, making
use of genre and scripture to
1001 Gods ownership ends? Answer: No.
Not possible to take this literally too: And
I saw between the throne (with the four
living creatures) and the elders a Lamb
standing, as if slain, having seven horns
and seven eyes, which are the sevenSpirits of God, sent out into all the earth.
