Peter preached an Amillennial gospel of the Kingdom at Pentecost, including the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ that placed Jesus on David's throne in Heaven. This also would define the gospel of the Kingdom from that point on that Paul and the others preached.

Is Jesus God? Then consider the implications of Hebrews


“Then sat Solomon upon the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly.” 1 Kings 2:12 (KJV 1900)

“Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.” 1 Chronicles 29:23 (KJV 1900)

“To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.” Revelation 3:21 (KJV 1900)

“And of all my sons, (for the LORD hath given me many sons,) he hath chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the LORD over Israel.” 1 Chronicles 28:5 (KJV 1900)

“Blessed be the LORD thy God, which delighted in thee to set thee on his throne, to be king for the LORD thy God: because thy God loved Israel, to establish them for ever, therefore made he thee king over them, to do judgment and justice.” 2 Chronicles 9:8 (KJV 1900)

“And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:” Revelation 22:1–3 (KJV 1900)

Jesus will one day set upon that throne in Jerusalem!

Sorry, nope. Peter used the same terminology that Paul did, "revelation" (Greek apokalupsis). there is no way in the world for you to prove an amil position from Peter. All you have is an argument from silence, which is no argument at all. Peter had several general statements about the Second Coming, but they were certainly not amil statements. Just to be sure, I just read 1 & 2 Peter once again, and I'm right.

Even if the correct position is A Mil. NOT to be used to say others not saved who do not agree with that eschatology!

Peter preached the same Amillennialism Jesus preached. A present spiritual Kingdom with Jesus resurrected into heaven where he as God rules all. Paul furthers this saying he will rule until he destroys the last enemy- death. And this happens on the last day. He rules now unless you reject his deity.

You are going off into a Cultic form of eschatology!
A Mil is fine, just cannot support that its the ONLY viable option!

We are saved by grace. Not according to knowledge. But the truth sets us free and those who hunger and thirst after it have great rewards in seeking it.

So what if your view is wrong, does that mean you are not saved? second Coming must be held, but we can disagree on which eschatology is netter!

My view is correct according to Jesus' teaching on the kingdom. It's a kingdom of faith, not of sight. Whatever is not of faith is sin.

Premillennialism is heresy according to the the Council of Ephesus 431.
Click to expand...
This is a myth. In general, the church fathers were millennialists, and the Council at Ephesus did not call the premil view heresy. I dare you to give an original quote from 431 to prove your contention. You can't, because such a quote does not exist.

The Kingdom of God and

All that Jesus preached in the gospels. And eventually included the developments at Calvary and the following.

So, then according to you the Gospel of the Kingdom is different from the Gospel described by Paul in 1 Cor. 15:1-8? That view is usually described as an ultra-dispensationalist view. Can you prove your definition of the Gospel of the Kingdom from Scriptures? Frankly, I completely disagree that it is "all that Jesus preached in the gospels." You have no proof whatsoever for that definition.
