Revelation are the Judgement, and Second Advent,<br />

and the Great Tribulation, and warning message<br />

before the Advent.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>refore the book necessarily concentrates<br />

on broad themes such as witnessing, persecutions,<br />

reformatory judgments, and warnings, the final<br />

outpouring of divine wrath prior to the restoration<br />

of all things. To search for prediction of specific<br />

minor and local events in history is to miss the<br />

significance of the whole.”<br />

Revelation do not apply specifically to any point of<br />

history. <strong>The</strong>y have been repeated many times.<br />

During John’s day they were repeated, during<br />

history they were repeated, and, in our day, in a<br />

greater sense, they will be repeated. <strong>The</strong>refore, he<br />

says, the book of Revelation is not pinpointing<br />

certain events that will take place in history.<br />

Really what this does is water down the books of<br />

Daniel and Revelation. It gives it just general<br />

ideas, general themes that will repeat themselves<br />
