@birdchadlouis Premillennialism was the dominant view until Augustine switched to amillennialism.

Q: What is Amillennialism? A: Amillennialism is a view of the End Times that does not teach a literal thousand-year earthly reign of Christ. Instead, it understands the “thousand years” mentioned in Revelation 20 as a symbolic expression for the entire New Testament period. Q: When did the 1000 Years of Christ’s reign begin? A: It began with his resurrection and ascension into heaven. At that point, Christ sat down at the right hand of the Father and began to reign as King of kings and Lord of lords. Q: Is the “thousand years” in Revelation 20 a literal timeframe? A: No. As with other numbers in Revelation, and apocalyptic literature in general, the “thousand years” are symbolic of a complete time period (10 x 10 x 10). It refers to the entire New Testament era—from Christ’s first coming until his second coming. The exact duration is not literal but represents the fullness of Christ’s reign from heaven. Q: What is the “first resurrection” mentioned in Revelation 20? A: The first resurrection refers to spiritual resurrection—that is, those who come to life through faith in Christ. Believers experience new life in him now, during this present reign. Q: What about Satan being “bound”? A: During this New Testament period, Satan is bound—his power is severely limited by Christ. He can no longer deceive the nations in the way he once did. However, near the end of this era, he will be released for a short time, leading to increased opposition and persecution. Q: What happens after this millennial reign? A: At the end of this symbolic millennium, Christ will return, defeat all evil, and bring about the second resurrection—the bodily resurrection of the dead. Believers will be raised to eternal life with Christ. Q: Has amillennialism been the dominant view throughout church history? A: Yes. A non-literal understanding of the 1000 years has been the prevailing eschatological view for most of church history worldwide. Though other views have gained popularity in modern times, especially in some evangelical circles, amillennialism remains the historic and global majority position in Christian theology. _____ We read Revelation 20 today in Bible in One Year: 1517.org/oneyear

THEOLOGY 101 QUIZ: The first person to teach Daniel’s 70th week is future, and the second half would be dominated by a literal Antichrist in fulfillment of Rev 13 and 2 Thess 2, followed by a Millennium with resurrected saints ruling and tribulation survivors having children was:

This cloud looks like Morrissey

Today I was charged $1 for tomato sauce on my sausage roll. The end is nigh.

@osasisHERESY It is "he will reign over the house of Jacob forever"

Why is zionism never taught in the new testament?

@judeblay Lol there are a million Brits here in Oz

We might need to have a serious conversation about the amount of Australians in London now 💀 why are there so many!? They’re never in the immigration conversations!

Against All Odds. Great song and movie.

@TheUberMarshal John of Damascus (7th century) "But Enoch and Elias the Thesbite shall be sent and shall turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, that is, the synagogue to our Lord Jesus Christ..."

@TheUberMarshal Hippolytus of Rome was among the first to hold this view.

One of the coolest Biblical theories that I’m sure has been around for decades, but that I’ve only just been made privy to, is the likely potential of Elijah & Enoch being the Two Witnesses that are to come and testify Christ to the world.

@abi4560 @AwaitingChrist How long do you expect him to live?

@AwaitingChrist The True Messiah will fulfill all of the qualifications the Almighty requires to be Messiah, that's what I'm looking for. Messiah will be fully human. There are no ghosts in the kingly line to be Messiah.

What would that mean in terms of what you're looking for in Mashiach?

@VerminusM Lol

Why did the Palestinians kill Jesus?

@nnahle Everyone does that

@ajxau Because I research, study, analyze.

Let me be theologically precise. He was not the Mashiach. He is not the Mashiach. He will not be the Mashiach. He was not a prophet. He is not a prophet. He will not be a prophet. Whether you like it or not. ✡️

@LuanaGoriss He's a Calvinist. Regular Christians don't ask that.

Asked no Jew ever.

@WalkNarrowPath @jakobe291 It's not just a dispensationalist thing. Early church fathers predicted a third temple, based on scripture.

@jakobe291 I hear that some dispensationalists are expecting Third Temple to be built, so that the Anti-Christ may appear and declare himself to be the Most High, kickstarting the tribulation. What's your view on this? Just curious about your view and understanding

They killed Jesus because he claimed to be the Messiah. He rose from the dead because he is.

@garrettham_esq Who told you that?

Protestantism's deepest assumption is that Christianity went wrong almost immediately and stayed wrong for 1,500 years. That's not a small claim. It's the entire premise of the movement.

@Joel7Richardson That's crazy

Lord wake them up.

@Cooey_goleafs @WVbigfootmuseum Seen by many. Known by all.

@ajxau @WVbigfootmuseum Oh they’re real.

Well, Bigfoot doesn't believe in you either.
