Since the 3rd century, many exegetes have believed that the Book of Revelation presents the same issues multiple times under different symbols. By the end of the Middle Ages, a historical-philosophical interpretation emerged, relating the symbols of the Apocalypse to the history of the church. It was characterized by an anti-Muslim perspective.
Jon Paulien has argued for a parallel between Revelation 14 and the fourth of the Ten Commandments (the Sabbath), in Exodus 20. He hence argues the Bible features Sabbath in the end-times. Some progressive Adventists, [91] including a few scholars, [92] disagree with specific traditional views about the "time of trouble.".
In Christian eschatology (end-times theology), postmillennialism, or postmillenarianism, is an interpretation of chapter 20 of the Book of Revelation which sees Christ's second coming as occurring after (Latin post-) the "Millennium", a messianic age in which Christian ethics prosper. [1]
The classical historicist view of the vision of the angel with the little book, in Revelation 10, represents the Protestant Reformation and the printing of Bibles in the common languages. The Adventists take a unique view applying it to the Millerite movement; the "bitterness" of the book (Rev 10:10) represents the Great Disappointment .

While some who believe in the literal interpretation of the Bible insist the prediction of dates or times is futile, others believe Jesus foretold signs of the end of days. The precise time, however, will come like a "thief in the night" (1 Thess. 5:2). They may also refer to Matthew 24:36 in which Jesus is quoted as saying:
Different authors have suggested that the Beast of Revelation represents various social injustices, such as exploitation of workers, [7] wealth, the elite, commerce, [8] materialism, and imperialism. [9] Various Christian anarchists, such as Jacques Ellul (1912–1994), have identified the State and political power as the Beast. [10]
The Book of Revelation or Book of the Apocalypse is the final book of the New Testament (and therefore the final book of the Christian Bible). Written in Koine Greek, its title is derived from the first word of the text: apokalypsis, meaning 'unveiling' or 'revelation'. The Book of Revelation is the only apocalyptic book in the New Testament canon.
