This paper advocates for the pre-millennial view (that the second come of Christ will occur before the millennium) as the position best supported by the Book of Revelations, with particular attention paid to 20:1-6. The perspective is supported through textual evidence and careful consideration of scholarly critiques surrounding the pre-millennial view.

The Daughter of Time "Everybody knows that Richard III, the last of the Plantagenet kings, murdered his two nephews. But everybody could be wrong – according to Scotland Yard's Inspector Grant, who studies 500-year-old evidence to try to determine who really killed these two heirs to the British throne…" (Harris, 2001, p. 1). Introduction On the initial page of author Josephine Tey's book, The Daughter of Time, the author (whose real name is Elizabeth MacKintosh and who also uses the name Gordon Daviot) embraces the quote, "Truth is the Daughter of Time." That is an appropriate use of the proverb because much of the discussion of Tey's fictitious historical novel centers on the concepts of truth and perception when it comes to King Richard III. Summary of the Book One of Tey's characters that she uses in this novel, and in several of her other books, Alan Grant, is an inspector with Scotland Yard in London. Because Grant is normally very active and on the go, when he is confined to a hospital bed – as he is at the outset of the novel – instead of his normal gumshoe detective work he puts his investigative mind and imagination to work. His investigative side has been activated because a friend has brought Grant a reproduction of a portrait of King Richard III. It can be said with assurance that the arguments that Tey presents in this novel are organized in a very clear manner, and indeed the book presents it's narrative in a readable form, following the work of Grant and his associates with clarity and logic.
