    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    Your pattern is to avoid completely the counter arguments that forbid your doctrine. You have to! That is typical Premillennialism. You're a battle is your opinion. I hate to burst your bubble, but that means nothing. The Scriptures are where you gain our argument.

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    Isaiah speaks of the resurrection of the dead, in Isaiah 26:19-27:1, and also identifies it with the time and events that surround the end of the millennium, saying, “Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as...

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    The same Shepherd who will comfort His sheep (the elect) will also destroy the goats (the wicked). This teaching is taken from Psalm 2:1-12. See what it is saying: “Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel...

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    Christ overcome 2000 years ago and is now reigning. Jesus said Revelation 3:21: “I … overcame.” Revelation 5:5 tells us: “behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed.” The lion is known as the king of the jungle. It carries great authority and power. That is a...

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    Genesis 3:15 predicted, “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” This is metaphoric language predicting the impairment of the devil through the earthly ministry of the Messiah. Satan was...

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    Please remember, it is the dragon that is placed in a prison under chains. It is obviously a metaphoric description. The dragon, prison and chains represent real spiritual reality. Satan is spiritually restrained during this intra-Advent period until he is released at the end to have a short...

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    Keep your Premil taunts and chides to yourself. It does not advance your cause. You do not seem to understand the figurative usage of the word "bind" (deo) in Scripture. When used in a spiritual context speaking about devils it is never speaking about physical restraint. After all, they are not...

    I am not a Preterist. I am a Bible believing Christian.

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    Yes, it was symbolized to John. It is sign language. The Premil literalist mindset totally negates the import of Revelation.

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    Those of all nations that enter into salvation exchange the weapons of war for the tools of peace. This is what the kingdom of God is.

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    You seem to be struggling with what a metaphor is. Let me help you: · A word or phrase for one thing that is used to refer to another thing in order to show or suggest that they are similar · An object, activity, or idea that is used as a symbol of something else.

    Agreed. All the rest are of their father the devil, regardless of race.

    Life in the Millennium.

    Exactly! But humans are either saved or lost, irrespective of race. Race does not matter today. It is all about grace.

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    You are totally missing the thrust. There it is absolutely nothing here to do with a future age, but time in the here-and-now. This text simply indicates the briefness of time with God. 2 Peter 3:8 does not in any way indicate a future earthly millennium kingdom anywhere in this reading. In...

    Life in the Millennium.

    Jesus brought a radical revolutionary message to the early Jewish disciples. He told them that there are others that are not of this flock (namely not of the Jewish race) that belong to Him, who will be integrated into His sheepfold. He was talking here of the Gentiles. What is more, He...

    Life in the Millennium.

    The Pretribbers take 1 Corinthians 10:32, which is simply speaking of eating and drinking onto idols, and build a whole elaborate eschatological theology around it. They do this to support their belief that there are three distinct peoples in this world. This reading has absolutely nothing to...

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    It has many metaphors. Do you believe Satan and his minions are physical beings? Is the dragon in Revelation 20:2 a literal physical dragon? Is the serpent in Revelation 20:2 a literal physical serpent? Is the key mentioned in Revelation 20:1 a literal metal door key? Is the chain mentioned in...
