Postmillennialism – Amillennialism On Steroids

Bad Eschatology – Part 10

Back in the 1950s, Postmillennialism barely deserved a footnote in any discussion of eschatology. It had withered into something of a fringe movement. But, just a decade or so later, all of that changed with the arrival of Dominion Theology and the Charismatic movements of the ’60s and ’70s.

Just as Augustine’s Amillennialism put a sword in the hand of the Roman Catholic Church, Postmillennialism has done the same for corrupt ‘christian’ movements who seek political power. Christian Reconstructionism, Kingdom Now Theology, New Apostolic Reformation and Theonomy are all buzzwords for these people. And, it’s bad news for all of us.

Amillennialism – Augustine’s Greatest Blunder

Bad Eschatology – Part 9

Aurelius Augustinus was, by all accounts, a good guy. He said some good stuff, and you will find people in every Christian denomination who think highly of him. He was thoughtful, intelligent, highly educated and extremely eloquent. But unfortunately, he blundered. Badly.

He had his reasons, and they are completely understandable. But, it doesn’t change how his writings strengthened the Roman Catholic Church and gave foundation to the worst heresies that currently grow in our midst.

So, let’s take a look at Augustine’s Greatest Blunder…

Amillennialism – A Somewhat Older Insanity

Bad Eschatology – Part 8

Why would anyone claim to be a Christian, and then cut out parts of the Bible that they don’t like?

I am truly amazed that people would accept this kind of behavior from pastors and theologians. Yet they do, and that is deeply disturbing.

Paul said that savage wolves would enter the church after he died (Acts 20:29), and that is exactly what happened. And, because we honor the words of men over that of the Bible, our churches are cursed by God. And, Amillennialism is just one of many reasons why.

Preterism – An Antichrist Heresy

Bad Eschatology – Part 7

Now that we have been through the Book of Revelation, it’s time to get back to Bad Eschatology. And since we barely scratched the surface of Preterism, now would be a good time to dig deeper into what Preterists believe.

I’m horrified by what I’ve found and keep finding.

Why would anyone choose to have their name erased from the Book of Life?

Unfortunately, there are far too many who have, and it’s a deeply perplexing thing to watch. And, I’m not sure that I want to understand all the reasons why people have done this.

But, let’s dig in anyway…

Revelation 20-22: The Millennium, New Jerusalem And A Warning

Laying Out Revelation – Part 8

Satan is bound and Jesus rules and reigns with His saints for a thousand years. Then Satan is loosed and deceives the world AGAIN, leading to a final battle. After that, a second resurrection occurs, and all who are not found in the Book of Life are thrown into the Lake of Fire.

A new heaven and a new earth appears, along with a city called New Jerusalem. This city is a giant cube 1500 miles (~2400 km.) wide and tall. It’s called the Bride of the Lamb.

There’s also a dire warning that we must pay attention to.

Let’s dig in…
