Godfrey on Revelation: Golden Age or Tribulation?

Dr. Godfrey is back on AGR, and the topic today is sometimes a controversial one: the Book of Revelation. He and Pastor Chris Gordon discuss the amillennial, postmillennial and premillennial interpretations of Revelation, and look deeper into the book’s theme of good versus evil and the clear distinction between the two. They pinpoint the main goal of Revelation and agree it’s there to help believers face the suffering of this world through perseverance, faith, and hope in the victory of Jesus Christ.
