Bible Note: Hi, Michael... Thank you for pointing me to this verse. A critical issue relative to our discussion is the "when" of this passage. Perhaps my familiarity with various eschatological positions is lacking, I certainly haven't invested a lot of time in studying the question. I think I understand how Revelation 12 is dealt with by Preterism and Amillenialism. Is your exegesis of this passage rooted in one of those perspectives? I don't want to argue the eschatology point... but I would like to know about it if the other views see Revelation 12 as being described as having already come to pass. In Him, Doc |
