We had a SERIOUS WARNING about the Great Falling Away from Truth today in our Sermon. On this Thread we have been debating about when the Rapture will occur, BUT the VAST MAJORITY OF US absolutely believe our KING of Kings WILL come someday and Literally WILL set up a 1000 year MILLENNIUM KINGDOM hear on EARTH in the Earthly Jerusalem. While we have been debating that, and probably getting closer to an argument than we should, THE REAL DANGER HAS SNUCK IN the Back Door, and has POLLUTED one whole denomination to VOTE 80% to CHANGE their Doctrinal Statement to a Heresy that DENIES there will EVER be the 1000 year Kingdom, where CHRIST WILL LITERALLY BE ON THE THRONE OF DAVID, RULING THE Whole WORLD FOR A 1000 YEARS.
This Evangelical Denomination, in their ANNUAL VOTE, decided to go from a Traditional Premillennial Position to an Amillennial Position, in an 80% to 20% VOTE. For those who do not know what Amillennialism is, hear is the Definition according to Wikipedia.
{quort} Amillennialism (
Greek:
a- "no" +
millennialism), or
amillenarism, in
Christian eschatology,
involves the rejection of the belief that Jesus will have a literal, thousand-year-long, physical reign on the earth. This rejection contrasts with
premillennial and some
postmillennial interpretations of
chapter 20 of the
Book of Revelation. The amillennial view regards the "thousand years" mentioned in
Revelation 20 as a
symbolic number, not as a literal description; amillennialists hold that the
millennium has already begun and is identical with the current
church age. Amillennialism holds that while Christ's reign during the millennium is
spiritual in nature, at the end of the church age. {End Quote}
As far as I am Concerned, amillennialism is a Psuedo Christian Cult. If not, they are so CLOSE TO LINE, there is almost no way to tell them from other Cults like Jehovah Witnesses. THEY HAVE MARRIED THE WORLD, in my opinion. In their theology, you do not have to take any Future Prophecy Serious, because all of it is just Symbolism. It appears this IS the GREAT FALLING AWAY FROM TRUTH, that HE Prophesied.
2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 (NKJV)
3
Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition,
4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
I believe that is Part of the Falling Away, that HE PROPHESIED. And the Jews are getting ready to build the Third Temple, so soon, the whole prophecy could be fulfilled.
Here is the a Chart the will show you the similarity and differences in eschatology we have been debating. But this Amillennialism a different animal and I think it is Heresy at best.
Now before any one asks me, what is a Partial Rapture, I have Never Heard of that Theory. So if someone KNOWS that theory, please explain it for us. With the Rest of the Theories I am somewhat familiar. For the Post-Tribulation theory, it would be best if you ask
dcontroversal, because that is the theory he advocates. Midtribulation is associated with Antichrist putting his throne in the Holy of Holies, and demanding everyone must now worship him. It also has to do with the Pouring out of GOD's Wrath on the whole Earth. So if anyone knows more about the Midtribulation Theory, Please tell us. I am Pretribulation - Calling Out of the Bride of Christ, so that I CAN EXPLAIN. We Believe the Rapture could happen at any time, because ONLY THE FATHER KNOWS THE TIME when HE alone gets to decide if the New Dwelling Place for the Bride is DONE, and the FATHER tells the SON,
GO GET YOUR BRIDE!
Matthew 25:13 (NCV)
13 “
So always be ready, because you don’t know the day or the hour the Son of Man will come.
We BELIEVE it is wise TO KEEP READY FOR THE BRIDEGROOM AT ALL TIMES.
If Pretribulation passes, we will STILL BE READY AT THE MIDTRIBULATION.
If the Post Tribulation comes, WE WILL STILL BE READY THEN.
BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THIS CHART, all mainline Christianity believes HE IS COMING TO LITERALLY SET UP A 1000 YEAR MILLENNIUM KINGDOM, in the CHART it is dark blue, and we all agree on that. That is why I think Amillennial's are a Psuedo Christian Cult, or at least a Border-line Cult.
I highly recommend everyone READ Zechariah 14:1-21, even if you have read it recently. I believe that ENTIRE PROPHECY will be fulfilled By JESUS CHRIST Himself, to the letter.
Zechariah 14:9 (HCSB)
9
On that day Yahweh will become King over all the earth—Yahweh alone, and His name alone.
