In this passage, "the end of the world" is plainly identified with the coming of the Lord. The Lord employs the word parousia in reply to the disciples second question in Matthew 24:23-28, when He says, “if any man shall say unto you (before the one final future second coming of the Lord), Lo...

One thing that has become apparent since the onset of the Internet and discussion forums like this that allow peoples' eschatological positions to be challenged is that Premillennialists are clearly not the literalists but are in fact spiritualizers. The amount of literal passages that have to...

In His response to the first question in Matthew 24:15-22, He spoke of the end of the 40 year probationary period (AD 70), saying, “When ye (the disciples) therefore shall see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, whoso readeth, let him...

I am not Preterist. Most Amils (Historicists, Idealist and Preterist) believe in the fulfillment of Daniel's AOD and the Great Tribulation. So it is you that is out of step with the majority of fellow Amils. And no, it is not "major error" to hold this. It is wrong to suggest that. Scripture...

You reject the supporting corroboration because it exposes Premil. Christ is the first resurrection. Revelation 20:6 simply says, “Blessed and holy is he ‘that hath part’ (present active particle) in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power.” The Greek word for "first" (as...

Apollinarius of Laodicea Apollinarius took up the ancient Premillennial baton from these early heretics. Notably, he too was a prominent heretic who was strongly opposed and renounced by the universal Church of his day. Very little of what he wrote has been passed down to us. Most of it was...

Porphyry/Porphyrius Porphyrius is another heretic who promoted the Premillennial doctrine. He was an enemy of orthodox Christianity and held views that were in conflict with the more-moderate classic early Chiliasm. He was another Judaizer who tried to foist old covenant practices upon New...

Marcion Through his distorted view of the Hebrew Scriptures, Marcion also advanced the idea of the full recovery of the Jewish tradition in the future. He saw the nation retaking its favored Old Testament position above all nations again in the future. He absurdly believed that Israel...

I know you are extremely uncomfortable with it, but the evidence of history shows the founders of modern Premil were all heretics. You have no rebuttal to that. Cerinthus Cerinthus of Asia Minor had an unrefined sensual view of a future millennium arriving after the second coming. He...

Op Note Tertullian repeats his belief that there are different degrees of torment and blessing in Hades pertaining to both the just and the unjust. The writer then articulates his rational behind his thinking: [T]he soul executes not all its operations with the ministration of the flesh; for...

Op Note Papias, Irenaeus and Tertullian considered the immediate state as a time of refinement, purging and training for deceased believers in Hades, preparing them to effectively function in a future millennial kingdom. This is likely where the roots of purgatory arose within the Roman...

Op Note The earliest Chiliasts believed that man is not fully delivered from the consequences of sin, and punishment for the performance of sin in this life, until 1,000 years after the second coming at the new heaven and new earth. They believed in a peculiar 3-stage preparation framework for...

The binding began through the earthly ministry of Christ where He confronted and overcome Satan at every turn. It culminated in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. After this, the Gospel opened up to the nations and the veil of deception was finally lifted. I believe Christ is "the...

What about when your opinion of one highly debated passage in the most symbolic setting in Scripture contradicts the rest of Scripture? You literally is a passage that is highly symbolic. That is theologically insane. Amil is built on safer ground. Amil is built upon corroboration. Multiple...

The early Premil heretics believed the same as you. It may surprise you to know that the views you hold and promote today were sourced and spread in antiquity chiefly among heretics. When we look for the originators and formulators of modern-day Premillennialism we actually arrive at four...

Why would I want to read the writings of, or engage with, someone who is determined to insult and offend? I have absolutely no interest.

Ad hominem is a big joke to you. But insults and offense are who you are and what you do.

Nobody finds your taunts, insults and ad hominem funny apart from you and those who share your carnal agenda. This is where you are in your element. Sadly, rather than apologizing you justify it.

There you go again! This is clearly a willful and calculated tactic by you to offend and derail. You love to antagonize. You wallow in the gutter with your ad hominem. I do not. Amil has never been an idol to me, Jesus is. I love the truth and it is that that you have an issue with. You have no...
