Trimillennialism: Revelation 20 and the Final Judgment

For the first time in the history of theology, Ritchie Way interprets the prophecy of Revelation 20 using the hermeneutic of inauguration, fulfillment, and consummation. He reveals that when the millennium is interpreted as having its inauguration in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, then amillennialism and premillennialism are not seen as antagonistic to each other; rather, a tweaked amillennialism provides the fulfillment for the prophecy, and a tweaked premillennialism provides its consummation. This new way of interpreting the millennium is not only soundly based, groundbreaking, and exciting--it also has significant implications for the interpretation of the rest of the book of Revelation. Trimillennialism also provides fresh insights on original sin, the essential difference between a saved and a lost person, the depth of the sacrifice Christ made on the cross, the nature of the punishment of the unrepentant, and the present location of heaven.
