3 Millennial Views Compared and Contrasted: Premillennialism, Amillennialism, and Postmillennialism

[@marleyandme447]

This is an excellent explanation of the vivid contrast in the views. Dispensationalism interprets history in a consistent literal, historical, and grammatical framework. It takes Scripture at face value and avoids the subjective spiritualizing of the text, as the opposing views do. By spiritualizing or allegorizing prophecy, it is conceivable to make the Bible say anything you want it to say. This is dangerous and counterintuitive, in my understanding. I appreciate Dr. Vlach's even-handed treatment of the subject.

Thank you so much for this incredible explanation of the different views of eschatology. As I work out my understanding of what the enzymes look like or will look like, this kind of content is incredibly helpful. You explained it very clearly and I really appreciate the effort you put in. I would be really interested in having a copy of the document that you used during the presentation. Thanks!

Where can we get physical access to this chart? Is this in one of your books?

[@ojntk]

Thank you for this! Really enjoyed it! I was wondering if there is any difference between the three positions in relation to the eternal state (after the Millennium)? It seems that Premillennialists don't talk much restoration and "returning to the Garden of Eden" like the other two views do. Is there a reason for that?

[@michaeljvlach7388]

Thank you. I cover this topic in my New Creation Model book. Recent premillennialists talk about a tangible eternal state in detail. Blaising is one example. Postmills say very very little about the eternal state. Amills are a mixture on this issue. Hoekema held to a restoration situation.

Are there some shared ideas with preterism and post-millenialism.

[@paulbrennan4163]

Yes, he addresses that at 1:26 in the video. In the table where two cells on one row are both in bold text then they agree with each other.

[@1969cmp]

Clearly, the Bible talks about a literal and physical presence of Christ on the earth ruling for one thousand years and clearly historically this has yet to happen. Like it or not, we are in the pre-millennial age.

[@1969cmp]

Why is post called post which to me suggests that the millennium come and gone - done and dusted.

[@santtuhyytiainen]

I am premillenialist but, on the nature of Jesusc reign during this age, I mostly agree with amillenialism and some points of postmillenialism

I’m with Dr Vlach as a staunchly dispensational Zionist premillennialist. I pick that a far more critical point for me is I’m not convinced God’s promises made to Israel in OT are transformed/enlarged/spiritualised into the Gentile-dominant (or believers from all over the world) Church. They will be fulfilled on a believing Israel (physical descendants of Abraham through Issac and Jacob) - as Israel. Since the promises hadn’t bern fulfilled understood Israel -> the fulfillment is still in the future. I hold this point as more “non-negotiable” than merely the millennial kingdom itself. Which means I do have very sharp differences with believers from my local Reformed Covenantal amillennial church.
