Armageddon from the perspective of Adventist pioneers

Abstract

Armageddon has always been in the sights of final event scholars, all of them have divided thoughts when interpreting this event, some in a literal or symbolic way due to its exigency and little mention in the book. Within the Adventist pioneers there is a strong inclination towards a literal interpretation of the passage due to the events of their own time among the nations of the east, as well as statements of interpreting it in a symbolic and spiritual sense due to explorations made within the same scripture that served as a reference. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to detail a historical review of the interpretation of the Adventist pioneers; within which the literal and symbolic aspects present in the interpretation of the Adventist pioneers in the years 1840 to 1906 are identified.
