Note: General study of apocalyptic literature, but focussed on the books of Daniel and Revelation, along with their sources. Much debate about Biblical prophecies centers around these two books.

Sites that espouse or provide support for the historicist position in apocalyptic literature.

• Wake Up America Seminars
  
  Appears to be Seventh-day Adventist related, which is why I have classified it as historicist. Definitely Sabbatarian, but also applying Revelation to very contemporary events.
• Prophecies of the Bible
  
  This site offers a number of papers related to early prophecies of the Bible that have already been fulfilled or that will be fullfilled at a future time.

Books

• The Prophecies of Daniel and the Revelation
  This is not an official Seventh-day Adventist position, but it was a starting point for most Adventist interpretation. The SDA church has been largely responsible for keeping the historicist school of interpretation as a live option in understanding Daniel and Revelation.
• Daniel and the Revelation;: The response of history to the voice of prophecy, a verse by verse study of these important books of the Bible

• Revelation: A Participatory Study Guide
  Note: This is a book I wrote.
  
  I wrote this book primarily to help people study Revelation for themselves, but it also has the goal of getting people to shake off some common attitudes about Revelation and dig deeper for personal, relevant, immediately applicable meaning. I make a number of suggestions that may lead to a much different than average understanding of the book.
  
  This book is designed for group or serious individual study. It gives three plans--a three week, eight week, and 13 week study. The exercises also provide many options for how deeply you may want to study into each lesson.

Terminology

Apocalyptic

A category of literature that is normally presented in vision form with an angel guide or guides presenting material that is symbolic in nature, and sometimes appears strange to us.

Preterist

In relation to apocalyptic, the school of interpretation that holds that most or all of the prophecies of the end times were fulfilled in the same era as they were written.

Futurist

In relation to apocalyptic literature, the position that most symbols of the prophetic visions refer to events that are still future, and were in the far future when the author first wrote about them.

Historicist

In relation to apocalyptic literature, the view that the symbols of Revelation were intended to symbolize long periods of history, with only the final elements referring to future events.
