The posts here are characterising an "amillenialist" group that doesn't exist, as far as I know. If I was describing my own eschatological views, I would probably come closest to the "amillenialist" banner simply because I don't subscribe to a literal 1,000 years, or a literal rapture/tribulation/Antichrist figure stalking the earth. This is mainly based on the way I read Revelation (as a letter of encouragement to churches under Roman persecution) rather than any particular theological "stance". This does not lead me to believe that: the church replaces Christ as "decision maker" and the church replaces the Word of God as the final authority the church replaces the Jewish nation as the chosen people the church confuses the sovereignty of God's dominion with the dominion given man ... and I don't see why it would. It doesn't the entire article is skewed. I try not to read articles about Premillenial doctrine written by Post or A Mill's who are trying to discredit it because it gets stupid. Evidently it goes both ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to follow it but there are too many terms that make no sense to me. What I do know. Is that Christ promised He would return. And that all evil would be overcome. The rest of it? I just don't know! Can someone interpret this into laymans terms for me? I would surely appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
