Triumph and Delay: The Interpretation of Revelation 19:11-20:10

Triumph and Delay: The Interpretation of Revelation 19:11-20:10

  • Technical
  • R. Alastair Campbell

This article considers the meaning and significance of Revelation 19:11-Revelation 20:10. It argues that the vision therein depicts the victory of Christ over Babylon. It is seen as the climax of the preceding vision, and should not be read as the start of a new section. In this way the Millennium is understood not as the sequel to the Parousia (return of Christ) but as a symbol for the delay that the church must expect before God's kingdom comes in its fullness. This is a time during which the nations are won for Christ and the Church triumphs through its sufferings.

You are either in the Word and the Word is conforming you to the image of Jesus Christ, or you are in the world and the world is squeezing you into its mold. H. Hendricks
