---- ==Main article=Interpreting Revelation=== There are wide variety of views and interpretations of Revelation. The following 4 main approaches are generally used (and combinations thereof)# '''Symbolic Idealism'''# '''Futurist''' - The visions relate entirely to the future# '''Historicist''' - The visions show a progressive forecast in history, including past events, current events and future events# '''Preterist''' (Contemporary History) - The visions relate entirely to events that were occurring 1,900 years ago when text was written [[Image:Millennial_views.gif|thumb|599px|Comparison of Christian millennial interpretations]]One of the major themes of Revelation is the "End Times", with mention of the "Millenium" in a number of places. There are a wide variety of views including (partly related to the above main approaches to interpreting the book)# '''Premillennialism''' - Jesus returns prior to the Millenium (usually a futurist view)# '''Postmillennialism''' - Jesus returns following the Millenium (usually a historicist view)# '''Amillennialism''' - The Millenium is the symbol of this current age (usually a symbolic, historicist approach)# "Panmillennialism" - The view that says: "It will all pan out in the end, even if we don't know how" {{stub}}
