This book is primarily written to call out pre-millennialism with the objective of providing a summation of important eschatological Scriptures to theology students and intelligent individuals wanting to understand how a-millennials handle most of the Scriptures in the Bible. A-millennial is a term given to classic Christian historians by the pre-mils meant to be a negative because a-mils do not believe that Christ rules bodily during a literal millennium, but the real Church gets its victory in what the world afflicts it with.
The body of writing offers the main NT eschatology Scriptures and enough of Daniel followed by a summary of the entire Revelation from the classic Christian theological standpoint, called a-millennialism, or Augustinian thought built upon, but this work is not at all dependant on Augustine, but the Bible itself. Augustine is famous for having pointed out some Biblical truths. He is not the Bible or the source of truth. Too often man gets into trouble depending and working through an ancestor or teacher, and the truth of the Bible go unused. I consulted with Augustinian theology very little. God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost are the Fathers of our faith, the view that the Revelation is in fact establishing Church history and there are no shortages of proofs.
My first efforts yielded a book of two hundred thousand plus words and six hundred pages. Since the KJV is approximately seven hundred and ninety thousand words, it was too voluminous to expect anyone to read it. I decided to cut it down significantly. A year and a half later I succeeded in narrowing it down to four hundred thousand words and one thousand pages. Thus I forsook the larger effort and summarized the whole thing, avoiding complete exposition. Understand that this is not a complete line-by-line exposition.
The KJV is the Bible version quoted and I use Rev as the abbreviation of the Revelation, NT for the New Testament, and OT for the Old Testament. I call pagans and humanists alike humanists because it is all manmade, and the current humanism phase of humanity comes from the renaissance periods, which is a revival of Greek and Roman philosophies, which roots itself in paganism. The Scriptures are completely copied into the text for the Revelation, but sparse otherwise to save space. The reader should have his own Bible. I wanted to handle every Scripture in the Rev so that the reader understand how that a-millennials handle each and every Scripture along with those concepts from the NT and Daniel that matter in eschatology. Bear in mind this is a summary and not a word by word exposition, which took too much space to be meaningful in earlier attempts.
There was much history and books researched to complete this summary, but with today's availability of online resources I wanted to make this as easy for the reader as possible to research himself, so I used a great deal of Wikipedia in documenting sources. If some question the credibility of Wikipedia, they need only to perform the same research online for each and every point and they will discover many physical volumes back up the intended usage of this book, and for the most part, everything researched was discovered from other sources first and then documented using Wiki for the reader's benefit. This thing was not done in a corner. There is much to verify all ideas.
