Why premillennial theology matters is an issue that every student of biblical prophecy needs to be aware of. Premillennialism teaches that at Jesus’s second coming he will deliver the righteous and judge the ungodly. Then the righteous will enter into a period—the millennium—of peace and righteousness where Jesus establishes on earth his physical reign […]

He focused on the limited scope description of the ‘one third’ statements in contrast to a much wider scope described in the bowl judgments. For example: Rev […]

The Greek word for “bowl” in the Book of Revelation is φιάλη, which refers to “a broad, shallow bowl,” where the contents […]
Postribulationist Robert H. Gundry, who held to the futurity of Daniel’s seventieth week, states: “Those who hold to the historical view of the seventieth week [e.g. amillennialists, historical premillennialists] should be designated a-tribulationists; for although they may allow for a few events necessarily prior to the second coming, they squeeze them into such a short […]
The following problems that J. Webb Mealy raise are never dealt adequately—or at all—in Amillennial literature. I think it is because they are deeply problematic for their system. “[Amillennialism believes since] Satan’s release from prison and destruction (Rev. 20:7–10) is connected with the parousia, then the time of his imprisonment “so that he should deceive […]

Christ comes in 19:11 and judges the nations who fornicated with Babylon, who consolidated their loyalty with the beast, and who gathered to war against Christ. He casts the beast and false prophet into the lake of fire. He imprisons the devil. He raises the martyrs murdered by Babylon and the beast. He and his […]
Craig A. Blaising writes: [Fowler White] argues that a sequential interpretation of 19:11—20:3 is not logically coherent, that its “credibility. . . suffers considerably” because at the Parousia, Christ will destroy all the in inhabitants of all the nations except the redeemed (“Reexamining the Evidence for Recapitulation in Rev. 20:1–10,” 325). Thus, he concludes, there […]

The problem then is how can amillennialism claim on one hand that the binding of Satan is the victory of […]
