Book of Revelation: Encyclopedia II - Book of Revelation - Interpretative Views of Revelation as Biblical Prophecy

Book of Revelation - The Preterist View. The view of Preterism holds that the contents of Revelation constitute a prophecy of events that were fulfilled in the 1st century.

Even accepting that date leaves a narrow margin of one to two years before the fulfillment occurs. Preterist interpretations generally identify Jerusalem as the persecutor of the Church, "Babylon", ...

Book of Revelation: Encyclopedia - Gog and Magog

The tradition of Gog and Magog begins with cryptic Biblical references regarding apocalyptic prophecy in the Book of Ezekiel and the Book of Revelation. The ambiguity of this tradition cannot be overstated. The very nature of these entities differs greatly in the discourse, according to the places and times of the sources, and they are variously presented as human beings, as supernatural beings (giants or demons), as nations, and as lands. Part of the confusion is the difference between the Tanach and Septuagint (BHS p.967) and ...
