A treatise on eschatology and the millennium, in relation to the cultural mandate, the Kingdom of God and the theology of hope for future generations. I do not remember when was the first time I heard of the Millennium, not quite remember what I thought when talking about it. Definitely not understand what they were talking about. david city nebraska newspaper The Millennium has turned david city nebraska newspaper very popular subject among Christians and even among Christians from books and films of the series,
"Left Behind." Personally, this is the only good thing I found these books. However, the position david city nebraska newspaper taught in "left behind" became the most popular position among European Americans david city nebraska newspaper and evangelicals, and even support,
among Brazilian evangelicals. I must say I'm always on the back foot when trying to make whole doctrine of test, because it will give a damn mess. And really, the Millennium gives a damn mess, only need to enter any discussion forum to observe the passionate debates that occur around the Millennium. Now, too, disagree with the comfortable position of those who want to ignore this debate with the excuse that the issue divides Christians. Ministers need to understand the issues and have a proprietary position, although we recognize our limitations of understanding. After all, the local congregation that has been entrusted to us, will be exposed sooner or later these questions david city nebraska newspaper and others. And we have a duty to care for, protect and educate the sheep entrusted by the Good Shepherd. What is the Millennium? The Millennium refers to a period of 1000 years is mentioned in Revelation 20:1-3,
7-8, "I saw an angel come down from heaven with the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. It seized the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. He threw him into the abyss, where closed and put a stamp on it, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. Following that he must be loosed a little time ... When the thousand years, Satan will be released from prison and will go out to deceive the nations david city nebraska newspaper which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, that number is as the sand of the sea, to gather together for war. "The millennium is a thousand year reign of Christ where it happens, as we read in the text of Revelation. This test is interpreted in three ways, the most amillennialism, david city nebraska newspaper post-millennialism and pre-millennialism. The latter divides the historic premillennialism and dispensational premillennialism. Also, premillennialism is subdivided before tribulation or post-tribulation through tribulation. In summary, there are considerable differences between the various positions. This is due to the different positions that need to have previous positions on other issues to reach a final for the millennium. david city nebraska newspaper Although this treaty did not try to explain the deep positions, we shall briefly david city nebraska newspaper examine david city nebraska newspaper the major streams of three thinking here. Amillennialism Amillennialism literally means "no millennium." This does not mean that amillennialism believe david city nebraska newspaper that there is no millennium, what it means is that I do not believe in amillennialism understood literally david city nebraska newspaper and future david city nebraska newspaper millennium.
The amillennialism david city nebraska newspaper teaches david city nebraska newspaper that the millennium david city nebraska newspaper of Revelation 20 represents
the period between Christ's first coming and his second coming. Therefore, to understand the text Rev 20, a long period of time, rather than one literally thousands of years. This statement is based on the use of numbers in the Bible. For example, Psalm 50:10 speaks of "a thousand hills," but actually refers to a mountain. Also, we see the same principle in Psalm 90.4. The amillennialism explains that the binding of Satan happens this time. His arrest should be understood
in the context of not deceive the nations any longer (Revelation 20:03). Therefore, Satan can not prevent the gospel to preached among the nations and people to accept the wealth of Christ. The amillennialism believes that Satan is bound from Matthew 12:29. In the Gospel text, Jesus uses the same Greek word that seems to bind Revelation 20:02. He says that "the mighty man [Satan]" should be linked. Jesus is speaking of the beginning david city nebraska newspaper of the kingdom david city nebraska newspaper through the preaching of the Gospel (Matthew 12:14-21, Matthew 28-30). Therefore, interpret Matthew 12:29 Revelation 20:02, and the result shows that the binding of Satan is the success of the Gospel among the nations in the New Testament. The amillennialism, so do not expect millennium yet to come, but believes that we are now in the middle of the millennium, and that when the millennium david city nebraska newspaper ends, the end of the world will come. This was the New Testament david city nebraska newspaper is the last age of the world. Unlike the premillennial, amillennialists not expect kidnapping thousand years before the end, or coming of Christ a thousand years before the end, do not expect great tribulation occurs thousand
