Amillennialism:-
"What binds the Old and New Testaments together is the unity of the covenant of grace. Amillennialists do not believe that sacred history is to be divided into a series of distinct and disparate dispensations but see a single covenant of grace running through all of that history. This covenant of grace is still in effect today and will culminate in the eternal dwelling together of God and his redeemed people on the new earth.

2.The kingdom of God is central in human history. That kingdom was predicted and prepared for in Old Testament times, was established on earth by Jesus Christ, was extended and expanded both in New Testament times and during the subsequent history of the church, and will finally be consummated in the life to come.

Christ is King indeed, in the heavenlies as you say. Yet we must ask:
Is he now ruling the nations with a rod of iron? Nope, not yet, coming soon.
Has Satan been bound and sealed in a bottomless pit in such a way that the nations are no longer being deceived? Nope, hasn't happened, not even for a day

This fallen world has a place in God's plan and purpose.

If we were in Christ's kingdom now then we would be perfect and so would the world. The reason we still wait for His kingdom is the number of God's elect is not yet filled. So seek ye first the Kingdom of Christ but don't expect it to be this fallen world.

Satan bound and sealed? Who is the Prince of this world? John 12:31.

The "thousand years" is now simply a figurative use of language.

As I have said before God and Christ do not need a second period of time to make any decisions re the elect. There is NO point to Jesus coming back to quote "rule" for a thousand years.
Eternity is the future and comes immediately after Judgment day on Christ's next appearance.

Give it your best shot wrote:
There are passages that are clearly allegorical, the thousand year reign clearly is not one of them

The elect were chosen before the foundation of the world.

Amillennialism Is Biblically accurate.

Nope, just have to believe the Bible. See Rev 20:1-7

If you are a premillennialist, whether dispensational or not, there are several things with which you must reckon:

• You must necessarily believe that physical death will continue to exist beyond the time of Christ's second coming.

• You must necessarily believe that the natural creation will continue, beyond the time of Christ's second coming, to be subjected to the curse imposed by the Fall of man.

• You must necessarily believe that the New Heavens and New Earth will not be introduced until 1,000 years subsequent to the return of Christ.

• You must necessarily believe that unbelieving men and women will still have the opportunity to come to saving faith in Christ for at least 1,000 years subsequent to his return.

• You must necessarily believe that unbelievers will not be finally resurrected until at least 1,000 years subsequent to the return of Christ.

• You must necessarily believe that unbelievers will not be finally judged and cast into eternal punishment until at least 1,000 years subsequent to the return of Christ.

No, your word was NOT directly from the Scriptures HOWEVER Scripture speaks of the thousand year reign of Christ
Rev 20

Premillennialism is error and bad interpretation of Scripture.

The Bible teaches Amillenniallism!!!

God and Christ do not need to do the whole thing over again to check out their first predestinated election was accurate.

When Christ returns it will be Judgment Day - the book of life ..... etc

and then New Earth.

by Tony Warren

"The essential reasons for our holding to what is called the Amillennial position, is that even apart from it being Biblically validated and declaring nothing more than what the scriptures themselves state, is that it is the only consistent exegesis of biblical text. It is the testimony of the faithfulness of the early Church in the teaching of Christ concerning the kingdom. And it is in complete agreement with the testimony of scripture that was handed down by the Apostles. While I make no judgments concerning the Spiritual well being of those who hold to the other millennial views, the truth is, Amillennialism is the only view that is totally supported with scriptures that cannot be denied (some of which I have posted in this essay). It is the only view that consistently gives an understanding of Revelation chapter 20 that is in "total" agreement with all other passages."

My friend if you cannot tell the difference between the contexts in which I referred to King David and Scofield then I am sad for you.

BTW You really need to find out what "context" really means when using the Bible. And no it is not - this life is the same as that life, therefore God working in them is going to create the exact same result.

May the Lord bring you to receive the truth.

AMill, did I not point out to Frank that King David was all the things you like to tell us Scofield was? Must I tell it to you to?:

The Lord used David in such a way that none of us today dare compare ourselves with these men of God, recorded in God's Holy Writ.

Do you say for example that the Book of Psalms is the same as Scofields modern conviction about Rapture and millennialism?

I am getting very worried about your discernment between truth and fiction.

Psalm 25:5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

Psalm 132:11 The LORD hath sworn in truth unto DAVID; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.

Psalm 18:50 Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to DAVID, and to his seed for evermore.

Psalm 89:3 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto DAVID my servant"

Good advice for you - Ditch the criminal and keep the Bible.

The pre-trib rapture of the church is a farse, unbiblical theology promegated by the Roman Catholic church theologians. It is a new theology only about 150 years old. The old creeds of old never taught this heresy. Scofield abandoned his wife and kids; could you trust such a theology coming from such a man? Dispensationalism needs to dumped in the trashcan of secular human ideology.

These Christians who are convinced of floating Christians and an "eternity" only lasting a thousand years have to pitied.

Nothing in Rev 20 REALLY alludes to the so called thousand year reign. It is Darby and Scofields make it up as you go along - (Floating presumably) - modern doctrine.

Where did all this dispy hypothesis come from the poor misguided Margaret MacDonald and her "visions" and utterances???

Who would build a "doctrine" out of this sad case???
The PreMills did.
