Whereas dispensationalists commonly teach that there will be at least three separate judgments, amillennialists do not agree. Neither of these two statements is true. My discussion of the amillennial understanding of the millennium will include the following topics: the interpretation of the book of Revelation, the interpretation of Revelation 20:1-6, a look at two Old Testament passages commonly viewed as predicting an earthly millennial kingdom, a brief sketch of amillennial eschatology and a summarizing statement of some of the implications of amillennial eschatology.

Amillennialists also teach that during this same thousand-year period the souls of believers who have died are now living and reigning with Christ in heaven while they await the resurrection of the body. 14:17; 1 Cor.

So What Are We Learning From It? Apparently this reigning includes the authority to make judgments. A Case for Amillennialism - Understanding the End * Planting, Watering, Growing * Always Reformed * Risking the Truth * Called To Serve The cosmic significance of the work of Christ implies that the curse which came upon creation because of mans sin (Gen. 3:17-19) shall some day be removed (Rom.

At that time the people of Israel were the recipients of Gods special revelation, so that they knew Gods truth about themselves, about their sinfulness, and about the way they could obtain forgiveness and salvation. Whether this means simply agreeing with and being thankful for the judgments made by Christ, or whether it means that those sitting on the thrones are given the opportunity to make their own judgments about earthly matters, we are not told.

Needless to say, evangelism bringing people into the kingdom of God is one of the essential tasks of the church. In the light of what was said above, we must understand these words as describing not a bodily resurrection but rather the transition from physical death to life in heaven with Christ. Because the exact time when Christ will return is not known, the church must live with a sense of urgency, realizing that the end of history may be very near. At the same time, however, the church must continue to plan and work for a future on this present earth which may still last a long time. There is eschatological progression in these seven sections, not only regarding the individual sections but also regarding the book as a whole. A common criticism of amillennial eschatology is that it is too negative, spending its strength primarily in opposing and refuting eschatological systems with which it does not agree. It would be of great comfort to those believers to know that though many of their fellow Christians had died, some even having been cruelly executed as martyrs, these deceased fellow believers were now actually alive in heaven as far as their souls were concerned living and reigning with Christ.

Have you spent any time considering a link between 666 in Revelation and 666 in 1 Kings 10 (and 2 Chronicles 9)? At the time of Christs return, there will be a general resurrection, both of believers and unbelievers.

And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together. Is there any indication in the New Testament that Satan was bound at the time of the first coming of Christ? Since Satan is the supreme opponent of Christ, it stands to reason that his doom should be narrated last. The third section, found in chapters 8-11, describes the seven trumpets of judgment. Thus again it flatly denies the Word of God. The system of interpretation of the book of Revelation which seems most satisfactory to me (though it is not without its difficulties) is that known as progressive parallelism, ably defended by William Hendriksen in More Than Conquerors, his commentary on Revelation.2 According to this view, the book of Revelation consists of seven sections which run parallel to each other, each of which depicts the church and the world from the time of Christs first coming to the time of his second.
