Sunday – February 18th – Revelation 20 – Premillennialism -----
The Daily Walk Bible inspirational thought for today:
A LITTLE SIN WILL ADD TO YOUR TROUBLE, SUBTRACT FROM YOUR ENERGY, AND MULTIPLY YOUR DIFFICULTIES.*
Happy Sunday to you! What a great inspirational thought for us today. As we gather to worship today, let us be mindful that the penalty of our sin has already been paid for by Jesus’ death on the cross. Even though we are freed by God’s gift of grace, we still have the freewill choice to sin, which of course we do more times than we like to admit. While the penalty for that action is taken care of by Jesus, the consequences for our sins are unavoidable and on us. Our inspirational thought for today should remind all of us to say no to temptation whenever it comes our way.
In our second day of unpacking the various theological beliefs on the millennial referenced in Revelation chapter twenty, we look at premillennialism, which is the most predominant theological view in today’s Christianity. This view holds to the idea that Christ’s second coming will precede the millennium. According to Henry Virkler in his book Hermeneutics, premillennialists believe that “Christ will descend to earth and set up a literal 1000-year earthly kingdom with its headquarters in Jerusalem. It is important to understand that not all premillennialists agree on all the details. There are two major camps of premillennialists: traditional (or historical) premillennialists and dispensational premillennialists. When it comes to the actual details of the millennium, there will be a lot of disagreement on its nature and purpose, but to be a premillennialist, a person must believe that Christ’s second coming will take place before the millennium (pre-millennium).
Blessings
