11:14). An Overview In this treatise, I want to examine a Spiritual, Covenantal, and Christological view of Revelation, and the redemptive purpose of God revealed in this vision. Some scholars will tell you that the Spiritual view of the Book of Revelation is an interesting one, but it breaks the flow of prophetic understanding in that it doesn’t just foretell the future.
