Revelation, written on Patmos after Nero?
#10
Shlama to all,

The futurist view has two varieties-PARTIAL-futurist view (from chapter 4, verse 1 onwards) and the FULL-futurist view of E. W. Bullinger and others.
The reading "on His thigh" is very interesting when you consider the ancient O. T. custom of placing the hand UNDER the thigh when making a solemn oath/covenant with an individual.
One of the many examples that E. W. Bullinger gives to show that a shift in dispensations has occurred is the fact that Paul's letters ALWAYS reads OUR Father and NEVER reads HIS Father while Revelation ALWAYS reads HIS Father and NEVER reads OUR Father. Another dispensational consideration is the repeated use of "SERVANTS" in Revelation while Paul insists in Galatians that "you are NO LONGER SERVANTS, BUT SONS." Also consider the fact that the entire book of Revelation is throughly saturated with "Jewish-ness". For instance, why would a Western Gentile pastor be the least bit concerned about "those who say they are Jews but are not, but are of the SYNAGOGUE of Satan."
However, I can definitely picture a synagogue "roshe" (head) turning beet-red and grinding his teeth in anguish upon finding this out. <!-- s:crazy: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/crazy.gif" alt=":crazy:" title="Crazy" /><!-- s:crazy: --> Anyway.....don't wanna get too deep into theological stuff here...there are other forums for that. The thing I found out is that you just can't skim through E. W.'s books lightly to fully appreciate his views. You have to immerse yourself in them and check them out for yourself. <!-- sWink --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/wink1.gif" alt="Wink" title="Wink" /><!-- sWink --> But you can say that about a whole lot of studies of all kinds as well.
