The book of Revelation is, of course, the classic passage on premillennialism. Revelation, while subject to all types of scholarly abuse and divergent interpretation, if taken in its plain intent yields a simple outline of premillennial truth—first a time of great tribulation, then the second advent, the binding of Satan, the deliverance and blessing of the saints, a righteous government on earth for 1000 years, followed by the final judgments and the new heaven and new earth. The only method of interpretation of Revelation which has ever yielded a consistent answer to the question of its meaning is that which interprets the book, however symbolic, as having its general revelation plain, one to be fulfilled literally, and therefore subject to future fulfillment.

I think it's this basic understanding of Scripture that alludes so many of the Amillennialists and is why so many of you get bogged down in trying to explain Scripture to them. My "hat's off to you" for your patience.

The title of the book gives it away. It is “The Unveiling.” It is the book which is completely straight-forward in making all clear. It is not a mystery wrapped up in conundrums and doused with metaphors, completely inscrutable, as the non-millenarians would have it. No, it is the exact description of what is to be taking place “when He cometh.”
