Postmillenial Partial Preterism...What is it? A Victorious View of the Gospel.

[Iconoclast]

I've looked at dispensationalist models which range from 5 up to 11 dispensations. Clarence Larkin is where I'd suggest someone starting if they want to begin studing on some of the dispensationalist's timelines.

And people's labels for their dispensations are equally varied. This is because these labels aren't used in the Bible, therefore, they lack a standardized meaning.

Sir Robert Anderson's, The Silence of God, while lengthy and somewhat tedious to read, still, I thought it well worth the time, for his way to communicate how it is that God does different things as different times, and how it is that we are not now in a time of wrath, though one it coming.

Of course there is a lot more to study if one wants to.

I've come to this, that we can start with the basics. What "dispensation" actually means, and where do we begin to find them in the Bible.

If you want to go deeper we can. If you think there is no deeper to go, then, OK.

Much love!

I know what it is.
This thread is not designed to discuss that error, but to set forth biblical postmill teaching.
No one has dealt with it at all.
Some are enjoying searching it out.

OK. It was sounding like you thought there was just a single form. Like I said, pretty much everyone looking at NT theology sees it's dispensationalism. I'm not sure how you would give a real look at post mil partial preterism without understanding it's dispensational implications. No matter, and I'm happy to leave you to it.

Much love!

Clarence Larking & Sir Robert Anderson Are John N. Darby's pawns, in the wayward school of dispensationalism

I mention them since some seem to have limited understanding of what dispensationalism comprises.

Again, I like to start with "oikonomia", translated "dispensation", in terms of "dispensing" God's provision to us.

Dispensationalism isnt founded on biblical dispensations within the bible, its founded upon the teachings of John N. Darby & C.I. Scofield in a (Pre-Trib Rapture), And (Dual Covenant Theology) that is Two Peoples Of God, (Ethnic Jews Israel) And (The Church) a false teaching

God Has One Cocenant With Man, The Shed Blood Upon Calvary, "Period"

Dispensationalism isnt different founded on different dispensations within the bible, i

Start in Ephesians . . . "oikonomia". I keep mentioning this. If you really want to know the Biblical idea of dispensations.

There is a major difference between the word dispensation....and the false teaching known as dispensationalism.
I would rather you move that to a thread dealing with such an error.

Satan is "Currently" bound from "One Specific Purpose", And One Only?

"Deceive The Nations" To Battle

The Non-Literal 1,000 Years (Revelation) 20:1-6 Are Taking Place Now In The Lords Spiritual, And Will Cease At The Future Second Coming

If A Tribulation Saint Were To Die One Day Before The Second Coming, He Enters Into The Non-Literal 1,000 Year Reign

Many That Promote Millennialism Falsely Teach, Satan Cant Be Presently Bound Because Evil Exist In The World?

Satan Is Presently Bound As Is Clearly Seen In (Revelation) 20:7-8 Below That Interprets (Deceive The Nations) Is To Battle, Not General Evil In The World Presently.

Satan Is Loosed At The End Of The Tribulation When The 6th Vial Is Poured Out As Seen In (Revelation) 16:12, The Deception Is Devils In False Miracles Going Forth To The Kings Of The Earth, To Gather Them To The Final Battle

(Revelation) 20:1-9KJV
1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

(Revelation) 16:12-14 & (Revelation) 20:7-8 Same Deception In Gathering The Nations To The Very Same Final Battle In "Parallel" Teachings Of The Same Event

(Revelation) 16:12-17KJV
12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.

Its too bad that the Apostles Paul and Peter did not get you rmemo!

EPHESIANS 6:
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Devil still deceiving the nations in the beginning of teh church age!

1 Peter 5:8
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

Busy walking about in the first century in your allegorical 1,000 years. so according to your view (for it is not what is written) when did this allegorical 1,000 years start?

 

[Ronald Nolette]

Your claim is in "Error"

Peter is talking about the Lords spiritual realm of "No Time" Jesus is the Alpha-Omega

Revelation 20:1-6 represents the Lords spiritual realm, Angel,Heaven, Devil,Satan, The Souls,The Dead, God, Christ 100% spiritual

2 Peter 3:10-13KJV
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

Sad you have no clue about context:

2 Peter 3:10-13
English: American Standard Version

t
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

11 Seeing that these things are thus all to be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in [all] holy living and godliness, 12 looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, by reason of which the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

13 But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

1 Peter 5:8
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

The inspired writer Peter disagrees with you!

Also:

3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

He does not decieve the nations no more in this literal 1,000 years. Afdter he is loosed, He deceives the nations and gathers them to battle. But Satan is alive and well and roaming planet earth now deceiving the lost and gullible believers who are willing to rewrite the Word of God with some allegorical mysticism.

1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 Isn't A (Pre-Tribulation Rapture) Of The Church To Heaven, Dont Be Deceived

The main scripture used by supporters of the (Pre-Trib Rapture) is 1 Thess 4:15-17 below, this is nothing more than the (Second Coming) (Last Day) resurrection, not a (Pre-Trib Rapture), don't be deceived

1. Is a resurrection of the believer seen in 1 Thess 4:15-17 below, 100% Yes!

2. Does this resurrection take place on the (Last Day) as Jesus Christ taught below in John 6:39-40, 100% Yes!

3. Is the (Last Day) the time of final judgement as Jesus Christ taught in John 12:48 below, 100% Yes!

Many deny the truth of Gods words below, that are simple, clear, and very easy to understand.

(THE SECOND COMING, LAST DAY RESURRECTION)

1 Thessalonians 4:15-17KJV
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

(THE LAST DAY RESURRECTION)

John 5:28-29KJV
28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

John 6:39-40KJV
39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

1 Corinthians 15:21-26 & 51-54KJV
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

(THE LAST DAY JUDGEMENT)

John 12:48KJV
48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

too bad you didn't add these verses which speak of the resurrection of the just and unjust:

4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

According to your own teaching (not the bibles) this resurrection took place FOR IT HAPPENED BEFORE YOUR ALLEGORICAL 1,000 YEARS!

Jesus Christ Returns In Fire And Final Judgement, Dissolving This Existing Earth By Fire, Immediately After The Tribulation?

This Existing Heaven And Earth Will Be (Replaced) By The New Heaven, Earth, Jerusalem, A New Creation, At The Return Of Jesus Christ?

(Behold, I Make All Things New)

2 Peter 3:10-13KJV
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

Revelation 21:1-5KJV
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

Matthew 24:29-30KJV
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

1 Corinthians 3:13KJV
13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

Luke 17:29-30KJV
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

2 Thessalonians 1:7-9KJV
7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

Malachi 3:2KJV
2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:

Psalm 46:6KJV
6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.

Psalm 50:3KJV
3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.

Psalm 97:5KJV
5 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

Isaiah 66:15KJV
15 For, behold, the Lord will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.

Zechariah 14:12KJV
12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

Nahum 1:5-6KJV
5 The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.
6 Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him.

Revelation 20:9KJV
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

And I agree 100% with all those verses! Just not your reinterpretation of them. for yuou negate or willingly ovewrlook the massive writings that show Jesus will establish an earthly kingdom in fulfillment of enormous amounts of prophecy that I have listed to you and others several times.

Do you know that jesus does not reign as king forever????????

 

[Ronald Nolette]

Not one place in the Old or New testament is a Millennial Kingdom on this earth mentioned as you claim, nowhere

The length of time the kingdom will be on earth is not mentioned, but there are enormous passages describign life in that kingdom! Rev. only adds how long Jesus reigns over the kingdom.

In the millenial kingdom, Gentiles from their nations will have to send representatives to Jerusalem and celebrate the feast of tagernacles or their nations will suffer drought that year.

their will be a physical temple ( as opposed to no temple in eternity) where offerings will be sacrificed. Their are numerous passages describing life in the kingdom, the human govt. of the kingdom under King Jesus etc.etc.etc. You willingly ignore these truths.

I have posted dozens of passages for you and you just pooh=poohed them and said they describe eternity which they cannot!

[Iconoclast]

Getting back on topic;
Citing Amos 9:11–12 James says God is rebuilding David’s tabernacle through the calling of the Gentiles (Ac 15:15ff).

In Romans 15:8–12 Paul notes that the Gentiles’ conversion is a “confirming of the promises to the fathers.”

And at least one of the verses Paul presents serves as proof of Christ’s Messianic kingdom rule (Ro 15:12).

In Acts the preaching of the gospel touches on the very hope of the Jews, which was made to the fathers (Ac 26:6–7). The promises did not set forth a literal, political kingdom, but a spiritual, gospel kingdom.

Psalm 2 begins its fulfillment in the resurrection of Christ — not at the second advent (Ac 13:32–33).

The idea of the church is not racial;
, not a wholesale adoption of the Jewish race. Ryrie’s argument is rrelevant; the church fulfills Old Testament prophecy.

Another illustration is Paul’s use of Hosea 1:9–10 and 2:23. In Romans 9:24–26 Paul interprets these very strong Jewish-contexted verses as referring to Gentile salvation in the church’s new covenant phase
