Principles of Interpretation
The purpose of this article is to discuss what principles we ought to apply in understanding Biblical end-time prophecy.
End Time Prophecy Leads to Rome |
The Kingdom of Israel
Summary
It is not reasonable to base an end-time viewpoint on an arbitrary allegorical method of interpretation. Yet premillennialists often accuse amillennialists of doing just that.
These articles demonstrate:
- That the method of interpretation used for deriving the amillennial viewpoint is based on the way in which the New Testament writers themselves interpreted Old Testament end-time prophecy. It is not an arbitrary method of interpretation.
- That the so-called literal method of interpretation utilized by premillennialists is not consistently literal at all — rather it is literal when it is convenient and figurative when that is convenient.
