6 C. Martyr reign expresses God s sovereignty dragon judgment interprets Messiah s reign similar to Michael intercalation (12:7 12) D. Martyr reign vindicates saints testimony reverses dragon s actions reverses deception (20:3, deceive no more ) reverses false verdict of 13:15 ( beheaded ) concludes Judgment Cycle (4 20) cycle initiated by messianic judgments cycle consummated by messianic vindication C. Martyr reign expresses God s sovereignty dragon cf. judgment 12:9; 13:14; interprets 18:23; Messiah s 19:20; 20:8, reign 10 similar to Michael intercalation (12:7 12) D.

Martyr reign as martyrdom reward interim kingdom = Jewish (2 Esdras 7:26 44; 12:31 34; 1 Enoch 91:11 17; 2 Baruch 29:1 (1) meaning: literal, symbolic? 30:5; 40:1 4; 72:2 74:3) (2) nature: civic, military, political? messiah typically involved length varies for symbolic significance interpretive issues meaning and nature Stevens: Rider, millennium, binding are coextensive both literarily and chronologically

7 The Rider conquest, martyr millennium, and Satan binding scenes are literarily and chronologically coextensive. Satan s binding is the spiritual counterpart to the Rider s gospel conquest, and the martyr millennium is the heavenly counterpart. John innovates resurrection doctrine in that those who die for the faith receive resurrection benefits immediately at death, as did Jesus, and as proleptically suggested by the experience of some Jerusalem believers (Matt 27:52 53). John s martyr millennium innovation thus necessitates a first and second resurrection innovation, but not without some New Testament precedence both in the life of Jesus and of the early church. Dr. Stevens Benediction (20:6) kingdom of priests (cf. 1:6; 5:10) F. Benediction spoken (20:6) focuses point of millennial imagery announces millennial consequences announces first resurrection announces immunity from second death announces millennial reign is priestly anticipates positive outcome of Last Judgment F. Benediction spoken (20:6) This is a scene of role reversals. The martyrs have had to stand before the imperial throne (at least figuratively) and receive the sentence of death. Now they are the ones who are seated on the thrones and deliver judgment. Reddish, p. 394
