In this study on
the Book of Revelation, we discuss the apocalyptic style as contrasted with the
parabolic method of teaching. We examine and explain the four major
approaches to the interpretation of this book, Historicism, Preterism,
Futurism, and Idealism, giving some pros and cons for each method or
approach. As the cherubim of Ezekiel have four faces so that they might
see in all four directions at the same time, likewise do we understand that the
four approaches mentioned above are each valid neither of them taking away from
the other but rather adding their own dimension and beauty to the whole.
Many throughout the Church have never realized the relationship between the
Book of Revelation and the Tabernacle of Moses. We show how John laid out
his apocalypse to conform to the Mosaic pattern. We also explore the
identity of who or what are the Seven Spirits who stand before the throne of
God? Are there both good and evil spirits? We look into how God
commissions certain angels in a hierarchical type government to accomplish his
purposes throughout the earth. We especially look into the seven
archangels and their individual roles and responsibilities of which they are
assigned to according to tradition and certainly in accordance with the
scriptures. We look into the concept of Guardian Angels, Demons, and any
other angelic beings which might have some type of rule or authority over
earthly kingdoms. We even discuss the present warfare of God's angels and
Satan's angels in the heaven lies and what it means to us while living upon
this earth. We discuss the various prison chambers and locations
mentioned throughout the bible such as Hell, Hades, Tartarus, Abyss, etc., and
the fallen angels and demons which have been imprisoned there. We
consider the responsibilities assigned to the seven archangels and how each
must perform his individual role and responsibility for God's plan to be
successful. We discuss the White Throne Judgment in which the devil and
his angels and demons will receive their ultimate reward of eternal
punishment. We discuss the signs predicted to occur within the heavens
and the place the stars and constellations play in God's plan, as we rebuke the
religion of astrology and horoscopes, while stand firm in our belief that the
constellations do in fact declare the glory of God, proclaiming the eternal and
everlasting gospel of Jesus Christ for all who have ears to hear.
