translate English to French: Aurelius Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, in anti-chiliastic fervour introduced in his writings the spiritualisation of the Millennium based on the recapitulation theory espoused by Tichonius. Simply, this states that Revelation repeats itself covering the Christian era under the symbols of the seven churches, seven seals, seven trumpets, the beasts and then the Millennium.
Cela donne � l'�tudiant de la Bible une id�e juste de l'intention spirituelle du Concile de Laodic�e.
