Theological Application: Defining Key Eschatological Terms
While the different views on aspects of Revelation can seem a bit overwhelming, it is appropriate to become familiar with the options and begin to wrestle with possible interpretive preferences.
Briefly define the following terms:
-Views on the millennium: premillennialism, postmillennialism, amillennialism
-Views on the timing of the rapture: pretribulational, midtribulational, pre-wrath, posttribulational
-Views on the fulfillment of the prophecies: preterist, historicist, idealist, futurist
Then, discuss which position is preferred for each view and then rationalize that position.
