Abstract
The aim of this article is fourfold. First, it seeks
to offer a definition of the term "apocalyptic" from a
biblical perspective. Second, it outlines the main
characteristics of apocalyptic prophecy. Third, it reviews
the interpretive approaches applied to the prophecies of
Daniel and Revelation. Fourth, it presents how the
apocalyptic prophecies about the Kingdom of God will be fulfilled. The article concludes by noting that the biblical
apocalyptic, such as Daniel and Revelation, has unique
characteristics that differentiate it from classical
prophecy, and that historicism is the best method to
interpret these writings. If Seventh-day Adventists
distance themselves from historicism, they run the risk of
losing their prophetic identity, message, and mission.
