Beasley-Murray, G. R. “The Second Coming in the Book of Revelation.” Evangelical Quarterly 23, no. 1 (1951): 40-5. Available online at http://www.biblicalstudies.org.uk/pdf/eq/revelation_beasley-murray.pdf.
Beasley-Murray argues that the true background of John’s doctrine is “the experience of the powers of evil in opposition to the Spirit of God, and the conviction that only the forth-putting of the power of the Living Redeemer could end the struggle.” “Judgment and sovereignty, the fulfilment of the purpose of God, are what the Prophet means by the Second Coming of Christ.”
