Summary:

McNicol (New Testament, Austin Graduate School of Theology, Texas) argues that the views of the prophet John on the end-times were deeply formed by reading key passages of scripture on the pilgrimage of the nations, beginning with the period of the exile. Rome was the new Babylon that was to be defeated by the new people of God, he says, but once defeated, the nations would come to the knowledge of God and Jesus. He calls this description the eschatological covenantial restitution. His perspectives are the problems of the conversion of the nations, the role of the nations, their ultimate destiny, the scriptural framework for the conversion, the central message, and the abiding value of John's Apocalypse.
