Are Premillennial Theories True?

Are Premillennial Theories True?

I. “Wars and rumors of wars”

    A. “When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near” (Luke 21:20)
    B. “The abomination of desolation” (Mt. 24:15) – heathen symbols and Roman standards erected in the temple

II. Based on misunderstandings

    A. “Rapture” theories based on misunderstanding of 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17
    B. “Tribulation” theories based on misunderstanding of Mt. 24:21 (but Jesus Himself says it would be fulfilled by that very generation hearing the words; 24:36)
    C. The truth: Mt. 24 is about the destruction of Jerusalem that occurred in 70 AD; 1 Thessalonians 4 is about the second (and final) coming of Christ at the end of time
    D. The “thousand-year reign” theories based on misunderstanding of Revelation 20:4-6

For thorough study on the errors of premillennialism, I recommend Foy E. Wallace Jr.’s God’s Prophetic Word, which can be accessed for free at restorationlibrary.org.
