Description
Summary:Abstract: Considering the various conflicting applications of the historicist method in the past, the need for an adequate definition rises. The source of a proper use of this method of prophetic interpretation should be seen in Jesus’ and Paul’s applications of apocalyptic perspectives in the book of Daniel. The essence of apocalyptic interpretation maintains the covenant history that centres in the God-sent Messiah and His people. This christocentric structure defines the hermeneutical principle and test of an authentic historicism. Furthermore, the discovery of a coherent literary structure in Daniel and Revelation, one of a chiastic nature, should be recognized to maintain the indivisible unity of prophetic visions. This may function as a corrective to the application of dissected parts of Scripture to historical events.
