Reviewing the style of Jewish apocalyptic literature from 200BC-100AD, Russell provides an understanding of the signs and symbols popularized in apocalyptic literature, utilized to communicate a message. This text is vital for the Biblical exegete, particularly as it applies to a proper interpretation of the Revelation and aids in providing support for the amillennial eschatological perspective. When the Apostle John wrote just prior to the fall of Jerusalem in 70A, his writing was within this style which his readers would have been most familiar and possessing a clear understanding of his use of apocalyptic imagery.
