He explains the concept of two ages, the present age and the age to come, and how it relates to understanding eschatology. Doug delves into the significance of the millennium in the pre-millennial view and its purpose for Jesus to rule as king before the eternal state is established. He also discusses the different ways to interpret the Book of Revelation, emphasizing the importance of reading it cyclically or chiastically rather than chronologically.
