The Jesuit Origins of Futurism

I believe the Jewish ideas were popular. But Jesus taught Amillennialism directly. Paul and Peter spoke of the present reign with Christ in heaven of all believers. If we are his body, we are seated with him on David's Throne.

 

I don't judge you. Why do you judge me?

 

Jesus and the Apostles were Amillennial. No mention of any millennium in the gospels or letters. And Jesus' teaching on the nature of the kingdom rules out any physical kingdom based on John's symbols in Revelation 20.

 

I wasn't judging. We see nothing in scripture resembling today's "Christian entertainment" in the churches.

 

Jesus will return on the last day. Followed by the resurrection and rapture. The resurrection of the wicked and the judgement. Followed by the explosion of the universe and the New Heavens and Earth. No millennium.

 

Are we judging if we call Hitler a murderer? If there is no basis in scripture for doing what we do in church, where does it come from?

 

Jesus and the Apostles were Amillennial. shouldn't we be also?

 

Find premillennialism in any of Jesus' teachings on the kingdom and post it. I've already proven it is missing in his kingdom descriptions.

 

If Jesus limits the kingdom to the spiritual, we cannot move beyond that without adding to Revelation.

 

John did not contradict Jesus who said the kingdom was already present. It came without observation, People needed to be born again in order to see it. It was within you. And had already overtaken the world in Jesus' day.

“But if I cast out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has already overtaken you. When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his possessions are safe.But when a stronger man attacks and conquers him, he takes away the first man’s armor on which the man relied and divides up his plunder.Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.” (Luke 11:20–23)
