Das tausendjahrige Messiasreich der Johannesoffenbarung: Eine Literarkritische Studie zu Offb 19,11-21,8 (Beihefte Zur Zeitschrift Fur Die ... der Alteren Kirche 148) (German Edition)

The vision of the millennium in the Book of Revelation is not intended to offer comfort to Christians in a time of persecution, but to serve as a warning to them not to be too ready to participate in the life of their heathen environment, for such participation is not possible without contact with the cult of heathen gods. However, he who is contaminated by the heathen cult will not be part of the "Resurrection" and the "Thousand Year Reign" but at the Last Judgement will suffer the "Second Death" in the "pit of fire and sulphur".
