1 | About Premillenialism... | Bible general Archive 2 | bjh | 107946 | ||
Since you asked "what scriptures" I'll file this under general. Basically Premillennialism is the idea where Christ's second coming is followed by a thousand year reign on David's throne. Rev 20:1-6 Gives the time. Romans 8:18-22 talks about creation being restored from its subjection. (As opposed to being burned up, as in 2 Peter 3) How? Answer - millennial reign of Christ. Isaiah 11 also speaks of the millennium. Note the restored earth in terms of the animal kingdom. Daniel 2:34-35, 44-45. Note how the stone destroys the other kingdoms so that not a trace of them is left. We don't see this today, so when? Answer: The millennial kingdom. Back to Rev 20. Note that the Bible says that Satan will be bound and imprisoned for 1000 years. Yet, we know that today Satan prowls about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. (1 Peter 5:8). Yet, we see that there is death and a curse, Isaiah 65:20. Again, not today - few people, if any would consider 100 youthful. Answer - millennial kingdom. 1 Cor 15:20-28 - Christ will come, and all of His people will be raised. He will reign until he has subjected all his enemies. After that, he will deliver up the kingdom to the Father. |

Sorry about the delay of my response but it sounds like your conclusions are highly subjective and are based on the portions of the Bible that are highly figurative. I'm sorry...I can't be convinced with your statement. Got any scriptures that specifically go into detail and describe this concept completely? Please let me know. Thanks. God bless you in your studies. | ||||||

I think there are several other scriptures that could be cited but these are the first two that come to mind. John 18:35"Am I a Jew?" Pilate replied. "It was your people and your chief priests who handed you over to me. What is it you have done?" 36Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jews. But now my kingdom is from another place." Hebrews 9:26Then Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world. But now he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself. 27Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, 28so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him. I agree Christ's words, as in Matt 24 are not absolutely clear on every detail but again it's always best to use the Bible as Its own best commentary. I'm confident if our God wanted us to believe in these unusual features such as the Rapture or Premillenialism, I'm absolutely certain He would have laid our clear language elaborating on those details. Instead, I see language like that quoted above. Again, I must emphasize the figurative portions of the Bible as found in Isaiah and Revelation are not a good basis or foundation upon which we should build a whole system of religious thought or discussion. I hope God coninues to bless you in your study and pursuit of His truth. |
