Christ will reign for 1000 years, bodily staying on Earth. The righteous will be resurrected. Christ will reign with tlem. There will be a short-lived rebellion ofSatan at the end of the millennium. Besides, it will be quickly suppressed, the wicked dead will be brought to justice, aryl after this cones eternity. In the eschatology of historE:al premillennialism, the apparent coming of Jesus Christ and tie admiration of the Church is preceded by great tribulation, aryl in tie dispensati»nal premillennialism, apart from the obvious Second Coming, tie invisible of the Church stands out, which according to their views will be bef»re great sorrow. Also, dispensationalism is characterized by the desire to interpret biblical proplecies "as literally as possible. " They believe that Scrq'ture should be interpreted literally until the context specifically indicates that the author had in mind opposite. This principle is especially used to understatil the Old Testament prophecies about Israel. In corurast to historical premillennialism aryl arnillennialism, tie prophecies about Israel in tie Old Testament in dispensational premillennialism are regarded as belonging to ethnic and not…

Dwight Pentecost writes in Things to Come: A Study in Biblical Eschatology, that Justin believed that premillennialism was the benchmark for the ideal orthodoxy. Justin writes, “I pointed out to you that some who are called Christians, but are godless, impious heretics, teach doctrines that are in every way blasphemous, atheistical, and foolish.” This statement also encompasses anyone who doesn’t prescribe to the teaching of premillennialism. To conclude, Justin Martyr will be identified as…

His eschatological stance is unmistakable with his statement, “But we do confess that a kingdom is promised to us upon the earth, although before heaven, only in another state of existence; inasmuch as it will be after the resurrection for a thousand years in the divinely-built city of Jerusalem, ‘let down from heaven,’ which the apostle also calls ‘our mother from above;’ and, while declaring that our poli/teuma, or citizenship, is in heaven, he predicates of it that it is really a city in…

Zombies, nuclear explosions, black holes. There are many theories on how the world will end. As Christians, we have the opportunity to look at prophecy in the Bible to have an idea of what the end will be like. However, the Bible can be confusing or unclear, allowing for multiple interpretations. Considering the end of time, we will look at four different views on what the millennium is and where it is placed on the timeline. The first timeline we will look at is the post-tribulation, or…

taking place in dispensational interpretations of Scripture. This change affects the way dispensationalists understand key biblical themes such as the kingdom of God, the church in God's redemptive program, the interrelationship of the biblical covenants, the historical and prophetic fulfillment of those covenants, and the role of Christ in that fulfillment”. “Dispensationalism is a system of theology that began in the mid-19th century. It is primarily associated with the Reformed wing of…

Members of denominations, and even members of the Lord’s church, have misused and misapplied passages from the book of Revelation to formulate doctrines that are completely contrary to Scripture. Teachings such as Premillennialism, the saving of only 144,000, and even justifications for the use of mechanical instruments of music in worship to God have all been incorrectly derived from the book of Revelation. In fact, it would certainly be safe to assume that nearly every denomination holds to…

Therefore, the church age is a parenthesis in this plan, as God turned to the Gentiles until the Jewish people find national revival (Rom. Rom. 11:1;25-32). At the end of that period, the church will be raptured, inaugurating a seven-year tribulation period in the middle of which the Antichrist will make himself known (Rev. Rev. 13:1+) and instigate the “great tribulation” . . . At the end of that period . . . Christ returns in judgment, followed by a literal millennium (Rev. Rev. 20:1-10+),…

and glorifies them seems a little different from what Jesus said in the Gospel accounts (p. 496). Jesus considered the Holy Spirit to be a helper that had even greater power than He had in John 16:7. Jesus considered the Holy Spirit an agent which “Will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment” in John 16:8 NASB. Could Pannenberg considered this statement to be the glorifying mode of the Holy Spirit? I think that Pannenberg saw the Holy Spirit as an agent that worked…

because the people of the ancient world would have been familiar with harvesting (14:15). Additionally, John says the “number of the beast” is “six hundred sixty-six” (13:18). Scholars have attempted and failed to understand the code behind this number, but the early people seem to recognize the meaning since John simply states “it is the number of a person” (13:18). Another concept that makes Revelation confusing for modern readers is the dual meanings of some symbols. For example, the…

it rejects the word of faith and prosperity gospel teachings especially as it relates to divine healings. The Second Coming of Christ The belief in the imminent return of Christ can easily be seen in various pentecostal movements. The fact that there were a large surge of missionaries that went out in such a short amount of time as well as the length of some training schools seem to highlight the importance of the doctrine of the Second Coming. So important was this doctrine that among some…
