"Paul says that the second coming of Christ and the glorification of the saints will occur immediately prior to the final state. Paul does not teach that a 1000-year gap exists between the second coming and the end of earthly, human history: “But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming. Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all enemies under His feet. The last enemy that will be destroyed is death.... Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption. Behold I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed—in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruption must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.... Then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: ‘Death is swallowed up in victory’” (1 Cor. 15:23-25, 50-54). Christ returns, the saints receive immortal, glorified bodies; “then comes the end." There is no 1000-year earthly kingdom, for when Christ returns, He delivers the kingdom to the Father." (B. Schwertley) |

Jack Jarvis wrote: I see the name Hoekema mentioned earlier I was supplied with some pamphlets written by this guy when I was considering changing churches I have to say that as I read them,I found them to be the biggest load of claptrap I have ever encountered needless to say,I didn't go to his church. as you say GK,souded very cult-ish I have noticed that there are many who can't perceive the Truth! But this must be the way God has ordained the Church will be tested.Hoekema is a good Biblical Amillennialist getting his facts direct from Scripture. Whereas the Rapturous-PreMill's get there "truth" from a young lady in Scotland who had a vision in 1830. Just goes to show how gullible some people can be in religion. 2Peter 2:2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. |

Rev 20:2 "And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,""This does not imply that Satan can do no harm whatever while he is bound. It means only what John says here: While Satan is bound he cannot deceive the nations in such a way as to keep them from learning about the truth of God. Later in the chapter we are told that when the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations of the world to gather them together to fight against and, if possible, to destroy the people of God (verses 7-9). This, however, he cannot do while he is bound. We conclude, then, that the binding of Satan during the gospel age means that, first, he cannot prevent the spread of the gospel, and second, he cannot gather all the enemies of Christ together to attack the church." (A. Hoekema) |

Robert wrote: Even John MacArthur, the ablest of the modern Calvinists, is pre-trib and pre-mill. I suppose he's part of the bogus MacDonald - Darby - Scofield conspiracy as well, though. Yeah sadly there are a lot of folks who get it wrong. Look at poor old Spurgeon - great preacher, Biblical Calvinist etc; yet he got baptism wrong. He actually thought that immersion was Biblical.. But there it is, not everybody is perfect in every way. GK wrote: dispy.....please....dig some of these "folks from down tha hawl" and let's have some of this trumpeted contravention of yours, then It's all been done before GK..... [URL=http://www.sermonaudio.com/survey_details.asp?voteid=bb71503182940]]]Millennium Survey[/URL] Of course the simplest way is to truthfully answer the question "Why does God require a further 1000 years to work out who is Elect and Who is not?" If God is omnipotent omniscient and sovereign then the answer should be obvious. But not everybody is perceptive enough to use common sense here! One = Jesus returns. Two = Judgment. And thats ALL HE wrote folks. |

Robert wrote: The basis for doctrine is the Bible, not fallible men. Precisely!!So why do you believe the 19th century Dispy teachings of the "prophetess" Margaret MacDonald, her so called "visions", Darby, Scofield etc etc who invented all this UNBiblical PreTrib, Rapture junk?? Quote; "As one looks through church history, he is astounded at the nearly total silence about a "pre-tribulation" rapture. But in 1830, a single "prophecy" was picked up by one movement leader and began to spread. At about this same time, the one called the "father of modern Dispensationalism" got wind of Margaret Macdonald's dream, and paid her a visit. He listened well, then went home and made some changes, incorporating it into his own theories about the end times. John Darby was also the father of the Plymouth Brethren movement, a church which was openly proud of what they called this "new doctrine," once they got hold of it." (Enzine Articles) |

Tony Lopez-Cisneros wrote: DENY The Pre-Tribulation Rapture AMILLENNIALISM "This terms is, perhaps, unfortunate. literally it means "no thousand years"; the amillennialist then does not believe in the millennium. The defect in the name is that the Bible DOES teach a 1000 year period in SOME sense, and the term is completely negative. Since the term is with us, let us define it in such a way that it has positive content: Amillennialism is that view of the last things which denies a literal thousand year reign of Christ on this earth (Premillennialism) or a thousand year period of peace and righteousness on this earth just before Christ returns (Postmillennialism), but holds that the millennium mentioned in Rev. 20 refers to the entire period between Christ's first and last coming, from Pentecost to just before Judgment. This view is not new! It is implied in the early historic creeds of Christianity. It was held by the greatest theologians of the Church: Augustine, Luther, and Calvin. More recent theologians have also expounded this view: A. Kuyper and H. Bavinck in the Netherlands, and L. Berkhof and H. Hoeksema in this land. Also, it is the position of the Reformed Confessions, and hence of all truly Reformed believers" (Rev D H Kuiper) |

John Yurich USA wrote: We are not yet in the Great Tribulation Period because the Temple in Jerusalem has to be reconstructed first and at present time the Dome Of The Rock Islamic Mosque is occupying the space where the Temple must be reconstructed. We are nearing the time that the Dome Of The Rock Islamic Mosque will be demolished and the Temple be reconstructed. The only tribulation we are going to be in, great or otherwise after that of Matt 24, is the one which the Elect are experiencing now. It will come to an end when Christ returns and judgment day begins. |

John UK wrote: "For the amillennialist there is no future restoration of Israel in a biblical or prophetic sense. The rebirth of Israel in 1948 is no more or less significant than the creation of any new nation in any part of the world. It depends on the Amillennialist.It took one of the worlds most incredibly evil events "holocaust" to provoke the nation group Israel to return to their former lands. But Jews have been persecuted throughout history, eg middle ages in Europe, Africa, Russia etc. Quote; "During the High Middle Ages in Europe there was full-scale persecution in many places, with blood libels, expulsions, forced conversions and massacres. A main justification of prejudice against Jews in Europe was religious. Jews were frequently massacred and exiled from various European countries. The persecution hit its first peak during the Crusades. In the First Crusade (1096) flourishing communities on the Rhine and the Danube were utterly destroyed;" [URL=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Jews]]]Persecution of Jews[/URL] |
