The author maintains that the arbitrary interpretation of the millennium of Revelation as a literal period of a thousand years as a whole does not fit the judgment teachings of the New Testament or the complete message of the return of Christ, in context with the rest of the Scriptures.
The proper interpretation of the nature of the millennium is foundational to understanding the prophetic message of the New Testament. This work is designed to be a valuable resource and handbook for the study of end-time events for the serious Bible student.
Roger Maslin was born and raised on a small farm in the Appalachian area of Pennsylvania. He was converted to Christ in the home and soon was baptized in the Chemung River and joined the closest Baptist church. He studied agriculture for four years in high school until his conversion to Christ and his call to preach. He then pursued studying for the ministry at the nearest Bible college.
He followed by earning a BA in Bible at Wheaton College, an MA in religion at Baylor University, an MDiv from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, and a Doctorate of Ministry at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary.
His pastoral ministry took him to Illinois, Kentucky, North Carolina, and Florida, where he experienced a fruitful ministry at churches in Daytona Beach, Dunedin, and Sanford. He is now retired and lives with his wife and daughter in central Florida.
