Iran attacks Israel, sends hundreds of drones, missiles

but when did i say i was amillennial?

There are different variations, and people who are Amil don't all believe exactly all the same things with the doctrine, but here is a short overview of what Amillennialism is:

What is Amillennialism?
Amillennialism is actually misnamed. The ‘a’ at the beginning means ‘no’, indicating the proponents of this position believe there will be no millennial reign. But that is not accurate. A better title would be something like ‘realized millennialism’, indicating that we are currently in the millennium.

This view colors all eschatology, or prophetic end times, and so in order for Amillennialism to work, much of Scripture must be allegorized, and left up the readers interpretation, instead of taking the literal view of what the Bible actually says.

Conseuently, the important prophetic passages dealing with Israel, must be "replaced" with the meaning now attributed to the Church.
This is why so many Amils are either greatly ambivalent, or outright hostile about present day Israel, and the Jews that live there. If God is finished with Israel, then they have NO Biblical claim to the Land. Some even go so far as to say they aren't even "real" Jews that live there. It inevitably leads to antisemitism and hatred of the Jews.

Here is a brief video history of where the Amil position came from. Please isolate your rebuttal to the content, NOT the person giving the content.

and what evidence is there that edom is jordan?

Here is Edom, Moab, and Ammon with present day Jordan overlaid:

Actually, they were victims of the British and American governments, which overthrew their own democratically elected government in the 50's. Which was replaced in the 70's by a fundamentalist regime.

Yes. American meddling in world affairs has often turned out badly. Iran upset the British, who were mostly interested in Iranian oil. Britain is culpable as well as America. The real victims, as usual, are ordinary Iranians who suffer much from the machinations of world powers.

Thanks for the heads up. I looked at these things about 40 years ago. Amillennialism seemed baseless then and I've seen no reason to believe otherwise. If we are living in a millennial paradise, then something has gone desperately wrong and God has gone on strike.

Liberal is simply one of the terms you use to describe anyone who disagrees with you.

I've got a term for you too.
But out of kindness, Ill keep it to myself.
Btw, I thought name calling on this site was against the rules. So much love in this "christian" forum.

And people wonder why the unchurched and unbelieving don't like us.

Its because they see you for who you are, fakes and phonies talking bout Jesus.
You worship political leaders, fake nations, and want to build the Antichrist a beautiful temple, and somehow, you see no problem with that.

God will judge.

Tragic truth.

Tragic truth.

So tragic that you liberals will lose again to the man with the greatest hair in history!

Perhaps you should read your own posts:

The only "christians" I know are in this forum, a mean and nasty bunch of judgmental pharisees and fake disciples for the most part. Blind, deaf and deceived. (Post #756 "The US Joins WW3", @TomCullen).

And to say that no one is cheering bloodshed is a damnable lie. Kill em' all for Jesus, that's what's in your heart. Just because you don't come right out and say it, doesn't make it any less true. (Post #754 "The US Joins WW3", @TomCullen).

I know for a fact that Scofield and Darby were Zionist whores. (Post #229 "President Trump's Christianity", @TomCullen).

I see that most people who call themselves christians, at least here in the US, have chosen to worship a man instead of Christ. And they get real nasty with anyone who chooses not to worship with them. I also see that most of what passes for the "christian church" these days, is nothing more than a zionist country club. The Prince of Peace is now the God of War, and christians cheer on the murder of millions with glee. (Post #218 "President Trump's Christianity", @TomCullen).
