The past year I have adhered to every single form of eschatology and now I am comfortable in my Postmil view. The word of God attests to this view but God used Doug in the process as well so I am thankful for you guys uploading so many things about eschatology! It has greatly impacted me. I have a lot of hope in the victory of Jesus Christ!

“In the long term, stupidity never works.” Pastor Doug Wilson. I loved that quote when I heard it on that movie, “On Earth as it is in heaven”.

The “abomination of desolation” is the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple by pagan Roman armies. Luke’s parallel account makes this clear. He takes Matthew’s Hebraic language and interprets it for his Gentile audience: “But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then recognize that her desolation is at hand” (Luke 21:20). He tells us what the abomination is: Jerusalem being surrounded by Roman armies for the purpose of decimating her temple.

The Romans encircle Jerusalem on at least two occasions: under Vespasian in the initial siege and later under Titus not long before the Temple’s final destruction. Of Vespasian’s siege Josephus comments:

“And now the war having gone through all the mountainous country, and all the plain country also, those that were at Jerusalem were deprived of the liberty of going out of the city; for as to such as had a mind to desert, they were watched by the zealots; and as to such as were not yet on the side of the Romans, their army kept them in, by encompassing the city round about on all sides.” (Jewish War 4:9:1 §490)

He writes that later Titus builds “a wall round about the whole city” (Jewish War 5:12:1 §499).

After the first surrounding, the Christians are to flee from Judea. In God’s providence, Vespasian withdraws from the siege when Nero dies; the Christians then had the opportunity to escape. The early church father Eusebius notes that:

“The people of the church in Jerusalem had been commanded by a revelation, vouchsafed to approved men there before the war, to leave the city and to dwell in a certain town of Perea called Pella. And when those that believed in Christ had come thither from Jerusalem, then, as if the royal city of the Jews and the whole land of Judea were entirely destitute of holy men, the judgment of God at length overtook those who had committed such outrages against Christ and his apostles, and totally destroyed that generation of impious men.” (Ecclesiastical History 3:5:3; cp. Matt 24:16; Epiphanius, Of Weights and Measures, 15)

"Future schoolchildren are not going to have to memorize what happened in 2021." Absolutely.... it's far too dumb.

I've been reading the bible New again since I started checking out 2 people; Michael Heiser and Gary DeMar. They are making me re-think what I was taught. They are forcing me to grow again. That's a good thing, and it gives me a new appreciation. I can say I'm no longer pre-mil because of them.

[Joshua-seqp]

Absolutely still post mil; now even more than ever before 😉🙏

“He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field. It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.” He told them another parable. “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven that a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till it was all leavened.””

Matthew‬ ‭13:31-33‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Sure hoping we don't start hearing about cis-mils, trans-mils and non-binary mils ...

[icsilversides]

Please let us disagree without being disagreeable.... ; >)

Take a look at the world around you, Doug. We aren’t moving towards worldwide Christian ethics. We’re moving away from them. People aren’t getting better, they are getting worse. Maybe one day when the trib actually happens you’ll change your mind.

I’m starting to find the “already not yet” eschatology compelling: Most everything was fulfilled in AD 70. However, just as a foreshadowing. The consummation of all things could be soon. Hopefully. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[micahlantz]

I'm a classical premil yet I agree with everything that is presented here. I've recently been called a functional postmill. Lol I just think the revelation and Matthew 24 stuff is yet to come.

[mkin]

I don't get post mil. During the millennial reign of Christ, 1st Christ will be here, 2nd the sun and moon will be altered, 3rd the heavens will be gone. And to continue, David would be regent over Israel, if a person dies at 100 its as if they died as a child, and believers would be in resurrected bodies. That's what I'm expecting the millennial reign to be like, pretty much what is in the Bible.
