Each Eschatological view.

Jesus refuted all but Amillennialism in the gospels. But only the born again can see the Kingdom so this presents a problem.

 

you keep saying this ... and I agree without the Holy Spirit's guidance, the spiritually appraised.

But your context seems to be the "Men in Black" deal about "the galaxy"

which turns out to be a necklace charm.

 

It's what Jesus taught. Have you ever studied his gospel of the Kingdom? You should.

 

No! I was deceived by Dispensationalism for many years yet saved.

 

Shazam

n

Never even heared of that

shazam!

Course. I never heard Jesus be snide and condescending either.

i really gotta get out more I reckon.
Thanks bro!

 

Neither do denomination (no offence to churches)... Its Divinity from Infinity... That SAVES a Man!... Brother Glen

 

Yes each of the five major views can been seen in scripture. Therefore I do not disparage any of them. If I am wrong with how I personally see it, that will be fine (after all I would be able to change my mind mid-air right).

 

Why would you change your mind in mid-air?... You won't need to!... Brother Glen

1 John 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

 

I won’t need to either!!!!!!l

 

Right now... I don't change my mind either... I have a wife that changes it for me... Brother Glen

... There I go off topic again... Oh well!

 

How can anyone reject Christ's gospel of the Kingdom? And side with the Pharisees instead?

 

Study Jesus' gospel of the kingdom in the gospels. It leaves room for no other view.

 

The Gospel of the Kingdom according to Jesus. It leaves no room for any of the other views.

The Millennium is a Pharisee Doctrine. Jesus taught a much different view of the Kingdom. Please consider the spiritual nature of the Kingdom. Are you rejecting the gospel of the Kingdom in favor of the Pharisees?

Also note, the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven are the same. “the kingdom of Heaven is at hand” (Matt. 4:17) = “the kingdom of God is at hand” (Mark 1:15)

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven” (Matt. 5:3) = “Blessed are the poor, for yours is the kingdom of God” (Luke 6:20)

“Among those born of women there has not risen a greater than John the Baptist, notwithstanding he who is least in the kingdom of Heaven is greater than him.” (Matt. 11:11) = “Among those born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist, but he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than him.” (Luke 7:28)

“the mysteries of the kingdom of Heaven” (Matt. 13:11) = “the mysteries of the kingdom of God” (Mark 4:11 cp. Luke 8:10)

“the kingdom of Heaven is like a grain of mustard seed” (Matt 13:31) = “the kingdom of God...is like a grain of mustard seed” (Mark 4:30-31 cp. Luke 13:18-19)

“The kingdom of Heaven is like leaven” (Matt. 13:33) = “the kingdom of God...is like leaven” (Luke 13:20)

“Except you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of Heaven” (Matt. 18:3-4) = “Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein” (Mark 10:15)

“Allow little children, and do not forbid them to come to me, for of such is the kingdom of Heaven.” (Matt. 19:14) = “Allow the little children to come to me, and do not forbid them, for of such is the kingdom of God.” (Mark 10:14 cp. Luke 18:16)

“a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of Heaven” (Matt. 19:23) = “How hardly shall they who have riches enter into the kingdom of God!” (Luke 18:24)

In other words, “kingdom of God” = “kingdom of Heaven.”


The gospel of the kingdom

Rolls eyes

U might consider how high of a horse you have mounted there partner.

or not.

 

Anyone who agrees with Jesus is on a high horse, like it or not.

 

As far as I know, the different views are Amillennialism, Historical Pre-millennialism, Post-millennialism, and Dispensational Pre-millennialism. In addition to those, we have Partial Preterism and Full Preterism. Obviously, only one view can be correct, as these views contradict each other.

I've discussed eschatology with people holding each of these views, and every one of them bases his/her view on Scripture. It is strange that we can have such a wide variety of interpretations on this subject, especially if we are truly guided by the Holy Spirit. All I can say for sure is that I am fully convinced of the view that I hold. I don't have the right to question whether the Holy Spirit is guiding those who hold a different view. One of my favorite quotes is "The Scriptures are inspired, but our interpretations of Scripture are not."

 

Why the 1000 years in Revelation 20 are not the "millennium".
You are making a huge mistake if you assume John is referring to the Pharisees Pre-Millennialism just because he mentions 1000 Years.

He is not. 1000 means "a lot" "many" if you are familiar with the OT usage. Samson slew 1000 Philistines. God owns the cattle on 1000 hills, etc.

Scripture never mentions a millennium so you are adding to God's word when you say John refers to the Pharisee's teaching Jesus refuted in the gospels.

Jesus reduced Millennialism to rubble in the gospels if you care to make a study of the gospel of the Kingdom and its attributes.

Don't assume just because John mentions 1000 years, he is referring to the Premillinailism invented by the Pharisees. Anything you cannot prove from scripture should not find its way into Revelation.

 

While I completely agree that the 1,000 years are not literal, but symbolic, I'm not quite sure about your "Pharisee" reference. I thought the millennial view (especially Dispensationalism) was introduced around 1830 by John Darby of the Plymouth Brethren. Please elaborate.
