The Book of Revelation has always been the most  controversial book in the Bible. In fact, throughout history Christian scholars have held varying opinions on how the book should be interpreted. But most Christians are unaware that over the centuries there have been four major views of Revelation:

  1. Bob Ross
    Pastor, church planter, author,
    and public speaker

    The preterist view holds that most of the prophecies in Revelation were fulfilled in the past during the time of the Roman Empire;

  2. The historicist view teaches that the prophecies in Revelation have been fulfilled throughout history, and are still being fulfilled today;
  3. Futurists believe that most of the prophecies will be fulfilled literally in the future; and
  4. The symbolic (or “spiritual”) view holds that most prophecies depict the ongoing cosmic conflict of spiritual forces in this world and the supernatural realm, and may be fulfilled in many ways throughout history.

Join us for a balanced review and critique of these four views – and the central message of Revelation that all Christians should understand.
