Book of Revelation, Hermeneutics, Symbolism, Amillennialism, and Premillennialism
Even though Steve Hays is an amillennialist, in this article he does challenge his amill friends not to assume everything in the book of Revelation is symbolic without any corresponding real event.

God does not break his promises. Let me repeat this: God does not break his promises. Acts 3:18 says, “But the things God foretold long ago through all the prophets—that his Christ would suffer—he has fulfilled in this way.” (Acts 3:18 emphasis mine) Acts 3:18 provides us a crucial hermeneutical principle for interpreting Old Testament […]

Why The Present Church Age is Not the Millennium: The Devil is on the Loose, Not Fettered
“Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (James 4:7). We need to be aware that the devil is a force to be reckoned with—otherwise, why would James give us this warning to resist the devil? This command to resist the devil requires that the devil is loose. It makes no sense to resist […]
