History of the Interpretation of the Apocalypse

Le Roy Edwin Froom ; Andrews University, Berrien Springs, Michigan, SAD

Abstract

This is a discussion of millennialism and its heritage across the centuries. Obviously, this discussion of the history of prophetic in¬terpretation is brief—all too brief to do full justice to the subject. It has not been possible to turn aside to consider those basic principles of interpretation that must serve as the criterion of the worth of the variant views of the Apocalypse that have been held by different expositors through the centuries. Nevertheless, the simple recital of those views, which reveals an ever-enlarging understanding of the meaning of the apocalyptic symbols of the Revelation, can prove of help in the interpretation of this last book of the Bible.
