Hi meta, I don't want to come across as gruff, but when you said: "Christ and His Church sounds good to me" -in reference to the new temple, I believe: That is a misleading statement that will lead to misleading doctrines. Because, if we are THE temple, then what seat does the antichrist sit in and claim to be God? I know that Scripture teaches that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, but is that not saying that there are many temples besides the one spoken of? Don't get me wrong, I understand, and sympathize w/you. You said you have more questions than answers. And that is good. We all do that. Or, at least we should, because it has been said that the only barrier to the truth is to think we already know it. To challenge the word millenium because of the fact that it does not appear in Scripture is a weak argument. Sorry, but the word trinity does not appear there either, do you believe in the Trinity? -nor does Missionary, Rapture and Bema Seat. Yet they exist. Apostle Paul instructs us to: Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. (2Tim 2:15) It is my belief that this is where amillenialists fall short. By not studying and learning the correct meaning of passages, we can come up with as many interpretations as we have Bibles. Do you understand, meta? I also posted to beja, for clarification on his term, so please, remain in touch. I would like to continue this discussion, because we are all here to learn, and you pose some interesting avenues (o: keliy |

Dear keliy... A much harder question, than the one you have posed, is this: If we are NOT the temple, what do we do with passages like 2 Corinthians 6:16; Ephesians 2:20-22; Hebrews 8:2; 9:11; Revelation 3:12; etc. Ouch! "...let God be found true, though every man be found a liar..." (Romans 3:4a) You see, your question starts out with a premise yet to be proven, assuming it is already established. In Him, Doc |

Good verses, Doc Thanks for the support! I recognize Beja as a spiritual man, and a faithful supporter of the SBF. But how can anyone miss the things that are told in Revelation, such as what happens before the 1000 yrs? First what must happen is there needs be an angel coming down from heaven with the key to the abyss and having a great chain. Then satan is bound for 1000 yrs. and those who had part in the first resurrection will be reigning with Christ for 1000 yrs. This is my reasoning for believing the 1000 yrs have not begun yet. Is it possible to be misled in the chronology? |

Dear Keily, There are differences because the question is not easily answered. There are many fine scholars on most of the perspectives. In fact, what you are articulating is something called dispensational eschatology. It was popularized over the last hundred years, but is almost exclusively in American churches. You might be interested in a couple of charts that compare and contrast the perspectives: http://www.fivesolas.com/esc_chrt.htm Believe me... the matter is not a simple one. I am still on the fence. Frankly, I think the fascination on prophecy exhibited today is a spiritually unhealthy one. In Him, Doc |

Thanks again doc, will look next at those charts. But, just because the dispesational theology is relatively young, that is no reason to discount it, is it? The geographic reference should not limit its validity either, should it? Is not America blessed by God? I understand that to be fascinated by prophetical issues could be unhealthy, but -is it unhealthy to study the Book of Revelation, since it is the Only Book to come with its own divine blessing? Did not God disclose these things through John to be revealed to His servants for them to be used by Christ in extending and advancing His cause among men? I understand the matter is not a simple one, which is why I continue to study. Thanks for your help. keliy |
