Subject: Jewish law during the millenium |
Bible Note: Meta, Sounds like you've got a very good head on your shoulders with regards to these things. We should all have as much humility. Indeed, the word millenium isn't used. This, as you've stated, refers to the 1000 years of satan's binding which itself is only referenced in Revelations chapter 20. Now many will argue that other passages is speaking of this period of time, but it is only explicitly called out in this one passage. However, I don't begrudge people using the word millenium which after all only means 1,000 years. As I said I myself am an Amillenialist. This means that I think the 1,000 years referred to in Rev 20 to be speaking of the present age from a heavenly perspective. The 1000 years being simply a simbolic number referring to an undisclosed amount of time, however long the church age ends up. If you are interested in learning more about this view then Kim Riddlebarger is writer who has much influenced my thinking. He has a decent book out called "The Case for Amillenialism." However his sermons are just as good and require less effort. In Christ, Beja |
