Revelation: 4 Very Different Views in 5 Minutes [Futurist, Preterist, Historicist, Idealist] - Education Videos

Perhaps the book of the Bible with the most disagreements, Revelation does not run short of interesting content. This video provides a very brief summary of the 4 primary views (though it is good to note that within each of those views, there are an abundance of perspectives). These views are Futurism, Preterism, Historicism, and Idealism. Note that the futurist view is spoken more from the Dispensational perspective and the historicist view touches on aspects of the Seventh Day Adventist Perspective. If you wish for a thorough treatment of the entire book of Revelation, we recommend picking up our friend Steve Gregg's book: "Revelation: Four Views, A Parallel Commentary, Revised & Updated Edition". This comprehensive work pulls from a collection of scholars from the various views and thoroughly works through the book in a parallel manner. At the end of the day, where we should all have common ground is recognizing that Jesus Christ is coming back and there is no better use of time than to serve Him now.
