This fine sermon touches on the major interpretive methods of Revelation, including Historicism (the classic view of the best Reformers and the Reformation Confessions and Covenants), Futurism (originating with the Jesuits as a system of interpretation to counter Protestant Historicism), Preterism (also originating with the Jesuits as a system of interpretation to counter Protestant Historicism), and Idealism.
This message also dismisses nonsense like the Left Behind series and other far-fetched and fanciful schemes of Prophetic interpretation which have no basis in reality and are an embarrassment to any thinking, Spirit-led Christian who seeks to love God with 'all their mind' (Matthew 22:37).
It also lays the groundwork for a thoroughly biblical look at the Apocalypse, employing a hermeneutic wherein Scripture interprets Scripture.

"The Puritan Hard Drive is a remarkable accomplishment!
The common Christian can now have a world-class Presbyterian and Reformed library at his fingertips, for only pennies per volume.
I do not think that it is an exaggeration to say that the Puritan Hard Drive presents an historic and singular opportunity."
