The interpretation of Revelation
Revelation is the most difficult book of the Bible to interpret. Christians have recognized this difficulty throughout the church age. The reason why Revelation has caused expositors difficulty is primarily because of its symbolism. Instead of solving the mysteries of the book, the variety of solutions has compounded the mysteries. Writers usually classify these numerous attempts into four major schools of interpretation: preterist, historical, idealist, and futurist. The problem is to determine the proper meaning of the book, and thereby to conclude which view, if any, is correct. The first principle to help the expositor unlock the mysteries of Revelation is to recognize the importance of the dispensational approach. Second, the doctrine of imminency is essential in order to understand the time element in Revelation and to make the book relevant to readers of all ages.
