1 | BEST COMMENTARY ON REVELATION? | Revelation | Twally | 1168 | ||
There are 4 main views on how the visions of 6:1-18:24 are fulfilled. Preterists think fulfillment occurred in 70 AD. Futurists think fulfillment will occur in a period just before the Second Coming. Historicists think that section offers a basically chronological outline of the course of church history. Idealists think that the scenes of Revelation depict not specific events but principles of spiritual war throughout the church age and may have repeated embodiments. So proceed with an understanding that for years there have been different understandings. |

Thanks for your good answer. To understand that there are indeed four main approaches to the interpretation of the book of Revelation is fundamental to any study of this book. I.e., not only are there different explanations of the prophecies, but also note that not everyone considers Revelation a book of prophecy. As you so accurately point out, some take a historical and others an allegorical approach to Revelation. | ||||||

Might consider reading Revelation: Four Views: A Parallell Commentary edited by Steve Gregg. It lays the views side by side, verse by verse. I also like Vern S. Poythress's book, The Returning King just published |
