Part 1
Rev. 20:1-10
1. Millennial interpretations:
A. Millennial means: “a thousand years”
B. Post-millennialism
* Post means “after”
* Millennial – thousand years
* Ism means “belief”
* This means Christ will return “after” a golden age – the Church will do a wonderful job converting the world – things will get better and better and Jesus will return to a lovely and prepared world to set up His kingdom on earth.
C. A-millennialism
* “A” in front of this word means “No”
* This means “No” literal millennial reign of Christ on earth
D. Pre-millennialism
* Pre means “before”
* Christ will reign for a thousand years after His second coming
* The second coming is pre-millennial. The rapture is not the second coming of Christ.
* Literal interpretation demands pre-millennialism
* This is what I believe and teach
