• I. Premillennialism teaches that God has
  guaranteed to restore Jews to Palestine, and that
  not until then will the kingdom of O.T. prophecy
  be set up
• Claims Jews never occupied all the land God
  promised
• (Josh. 2143) So Jehovah gave unto Israel all
  the land which he swore to give unto their
  fathers and they possessed it, and dwelt
  therein.

  26-29
• For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly
  neither is that circumcision which is outward in
  the flesh but he is a Jew who is one inwardly
  and circumcision is that of the heart, in the
  spirit not in the letter whose praise is not of
  men, but of God.

  into Christ did put on Christ. There can be
  neither Jew nor Greek, there can be neither bond
  nor free, there can be no male and female for ye
  all are one man in Christ Jesus. And if ye are
  Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, heirs
  according to promise.

  them one from another, as the shepherd separates
  the sheep from the goats and he shall set the

30
Premillennialism and the Bible

• Rev. 201-6 is the foundation passage of the
  Premillennial theory
• It is on this passage that the whole doctrine of
  the millennium as such has been founded. It is
  true that there are elsewhere in the scriptures
  abundant promises that the gospel will ultimately
  spread over the world but the whole notion of a
  millennium as such is found in this passage
  alone. (Albert Barnes)

31

• And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven,
  having the key of the abyss and a great chain in
  his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, the old
  serpent, which is the Devil and Satan, and bound
  him for a thousand years, and cast him into the
  abyss, and shut it, and sealed it over him, that
  he should deceive the nations no more, until the
  thousand years should be finished after this he
  must be loosed for a little time

32

• And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and
  judgment was given unto them and I saw the souls
  of them that had been beheaded for the testimony
  of Jesus, and for the word of God, and such as
  worshipped not the beast, neither his image, and
  received not the mark upon their forehead and
  upon their hand and they lived, and reigned with
  Christ a thousand years.

33

• The rest of the dead lived not until the
  thousand years should be finished. This is the
  first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that
  hath part in the first resurrection over these
  the second death hath no power but they shall be
  priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign
  with him a thousand years.

34

• Second coming of Christ
• A bodily resurrection
• A reign on earth

35

• (Rev. 2218-19) I testify unto every man that
  hears the words of the prophecy of this book, if
  any man shall add unto them, God shall add unto
  him the plagues which are written in this book
  and if any man shall take away from the words of
  the book of this prophecy, God shall take away
  his part from the tree of life, and out of the
  holy city, which are written in this book.

36
Premillennialism and the Bible

• At the resurrection, we are to meet the Lord in
  the air I Thess. 417
• then we that are alive, that are left, shall
  together with them be caught up in the clouds, to
  meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be
  with the Lord.

37
Premillennialism and the Bible

• Christs kingdom is not of this world John
  1836
• Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world
  if my kingdom were of this world, then would my
  servants fight, that I should not be delivered to
  the Jews but now is my kingdom not from hence.

• Consider the priesthood and rule of Christ.
• (Zech. 613) even he shall build the temple of
  Jehovah and he shall bear the glory, and shall
  sit and rule upon his throne and he shall be a
  priest upon his throne and the counsel of peace
  shall be between them both.
• (Heb. 81) Now in the things which we are saying
  the chief point is this We have such a high
  priest, who sat down on the right hand of the
  throne of the Majesty in the heavens

39
Premillennialism and the Bible

• The last days were ushered in 2,000 years ago
  Acts 216-17
• but this is that which hath been spoken through
  the prophet Joel And it shall be in the last
  days, saith God, I will pour forth of My Spirit
  upon all flesh And your sons and your daughters
  shall prophesy, And your young men shall see
  visions, And your old men shall dream dreams

40
Premillennialism and the Bible

• Jer. 2230 deals a death blow to the
  premillennial theories
• Jer 2224-30 As I live, saith Jehovah, though
  Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were
  the signet upon my right hand, yet would I pluck
  thee thence and I will give thee into the hand
  of them that seek thy life, and into the hand of
  them of whom thou art afraid, even into the hand
  of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the
  hand of the Chaldeans.

41

• And I will cast thee out, and thy mother that
  bare thee, into another country, where ye were
  not born and there shall ye die. But to the land
  whereunto their soul longs to return, thither
  shall they not return. Is this man Coniah a
  despised broken vessel? is he a vessel wherein
  none delights? wherefore are they cast out, he
  and his seed, and are cast into the land which
  they know not?

42

• O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of Jehovah.
  Thus saith Jehovah, Write ye this man childless,
  a man that shall not prosper in his days for no
  more shall a man of his seed prosper, sitting
  upon the throne of David, and ruling in Judah.

43

44
Premillennialism and the Bible

• Christ is a descendant of that lineage
• (Matt. 111, 16) and Josiah begat Jechoniah and
  his brethren, at the time of the carrying away to
  Babylon and Jacob begat Joseph the husband of
  Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called
  Christ.

45
Premillennialism and the Bible

• Christ is now King of kings
• I Tim. 313-16 I charge thee in the sight of

  Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed the
  good confession that thou keep the commandment,
  without spot, without reproach, until the
  appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ

46
Premillennialism and the Bible

• which in its own times he shall show, who is
  the blessed and only Potentate, the King of
  kings, and Lord of lords who only hath
  immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable
  whom no man hath seen, nor can see to whom be
  honor and power eternal. Amen.

47
Premillennialism and the Bible

• (John 141-3) Let not your heart be troubled
  believe in God, believe also in me. In my
  Father's house are many mansions if it were not
  so, I would have told you for I go to prepare a
  place for you. And if I go and prepare a place
  for you, I come again, and will receive you unto
  myself that where I am, there ye may be also.

  baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the
  name of the Lord (Acts 2216)

The final result of sin is not what you want. II
Thess. 17-9

• and to you that are afflicted rest with us, at
  the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with
  the angels of his power in flaming fire,rendering
  vengeance to them that know not God, and to them
  that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus who
  shall suffer punishment, even eternal destruction
  from the face of the Lord and from the glory of
  his might
