The interpretation of Revelation favored by the author of this course is sometimes called the

Historical view
Allegorical view
Futurist view
Preterist view

Correct Answer

A. Futurist view

Explanation

Throughout the centuries of church history, Bible students have
approached the interpretation of the book of Revelation differently. Some
think, for instance, that it was entirely fulfilled in the early history of the
church. Others believe that it is a book which has been in the process of
being fulfilled throughout the whole Christian era. Still others hold that
Revelation is not a record of actual events which have been fulfilled or which
are going to come to pass; rather, it merely pictures the constant struggle
throughout the church age between good and evil. A fourth interpretation,
favored by this author, is sometimes labeled the futurist view. It holds that
the greater part of Revelation (4–22) is yet to be fulfilled. The futurist view
uses Revelation 1:19 as the inspired key in outlining the content of the book.
Let us see this general structure in the next point based on that verse.

In Revelation 20, John wrote about the judgment of

Israel
The nations
Believers
Unbelievers

Correct Answer

A. Unbelievers

Explanation

The Kingdom and Final Judgment (20:1-15) The earthly kingdom
of our Lord will last for 1,000 years. Satan is bound during the kingdom
period and then released upon its conclusion. He will attempt to deceive
the nations once again, but will be unsuccessful for the Lord will cast
him into the lake of fire where the beast and the false prophet already
are. Then the last judgment, called “the great white throne” will
be convened. Those whose names are not found in the book of life,
showing they are not true believers, will be cast into the lake of fire.
What a solemn scene. Let me ask you. Will you be in heaven someday
with the Lord, or in the lake of fire with the devil? It is your choice. To
choose Christ is to choose heaven. To refuse Him is to suffer forever
in eternal torment.

Saving faith

A. The teaching of the apostles

Explanation

The expression “the faith” refers to the teaching of the
Apostles (“apostles’ doctrine,” Acts 2:42). It is the truth of God’s Word.
Jude 1:4-16 makes it quite clear why there was a need for Jude to change
his purpose. Much of this section is very much like 2 Peter 2.
