I tell my adult Bible study class that Revelation can be summed up in two words: "God wins." While we can look at the 2nd coming of Christ (as well as Revelation) from a variety of views, the main point (as Luther mentioned), is simply to be ready at any time.

[@wataboutya9310]

I was baptized and raised in the Anglican church of Ireland but got busy with life and put it on the backburner for a very long time. Quite recently and now living in the United States. I have been working on rekindling my faith and was mind boggled by all the different denominations here that represent Protestantism. That said, I have been watching videos from about every single one of them in efforts to find a fit for me. It is really starting to look like the Lutheran church is where I should begin and listening to this fellow here, has had a big impact on that decision.

Be careful which Lutheran Church you choose. The LCMS and ELCA are very different.

[@PenMom9]

Our family checked out the Anglicans and the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (LCMS), and landed at the LCMS. I find them quite compatible. Also in America there are quite a few more LCMS churches than Anglican, and the LCMS tend to reliably be both traditional and conservative.

[@somd_digger5425]

So I have antibaptist roots that go back to the 1600's, as a teen I was yanked out of that into a Presbyterian church as an adult I planted and spent a lot of times in Bible churches, Went to a Mennonite college to get a BS in ministry, spent two years studying in a program started by John MacArthur. I landed in an LCMS church after all of that and I am home being part of the one true catholic church. This church most resembles what the church believed for 1500 years before the reformation as far as doctrine and practice, and it never gets old Gods graces imparted to us every Sunday through the word and the sacrament.

[@wererabbit63]

I attended a dispensational, premillennial Bible college. I started to become disillusioned with the concept when people holding to this theological view were more interested in “end times” prophecy conferences then they were in sharing the gospel.

[@sewdutch2]

After having been a member of a Lutheran church, I was introduced to a Calvary Chapel, where I learned to take the Bible far more literal, ( like those 1000 years,) but also I changed my view to dispensational pre-millenialism. But my family members are still Lutheran. I'm sad, that somehow I have never been taught in the Lutheran church what this pastor just showed, Thank you, Pastor, now I can really compare the two, study like the Bereans and know for myself!

[@nathanjstoic]

@@sewdutch2That’s funny, I’ve had the opposite experience! Been involved Calvary Chapel for 20 years but am now delving deeper into Confessional Lutheranism. I personally ascribe to premillennialism still but have turned away from dispensationalist theology, and am receptive to the idea of amillennialism as Wolfmueller explains here.

Thank you so much for this. I was raised Pentecostal and had rapture and all the premil teachings drilled into me for decades.

Very slowly I am becoming less jaded about the book of Revelation and more excited about God's promises of end times.

[@j.sethfrazer]

I became convinced of Amillennialism during my undergraduate work at Liberty University, which was also, interestingly enough, during a time when I was newly switching over to Lutheranism. One thing that both the Pre- and Post- Millennial formulas do is assume finite entropy on eternity, which is why they literalize the 1,000 year reign. The bottom line is, the ‘Day of the Lord’ began on the day Christ’s resurrection and we’ve been in that “Day” ever since. This video was a very helpful tool as far as mapping Amillennnialism out properly. The only thing this video did not cover that I was hoping for was what and who the antichrist is from ch. 12-13 of Revelation. I think we live in an age of over-realized eschatology, where people are looking for ways to connect the dots and be alert of signs of the end times. “Obama’s the Antichrist!” “No, Trump’s the Antichrist!” “No, Biden‘s the Antichrist!” Maybe do a video on the Lutheran view of the Antichrist next?? God’s Peace Be With You, Pastor Wolfmueller

[@lilacDaisy111]

Thank you, yes I asked for the same thing. World events are as if we're entering the G Tribulation now. A communist one world government is fast rising to great power, saying they want all of us MARKED (after the vaccine), right as the Pope mixes all regions into one. Too freaky. My church taught this in the 80s, when I was a kid, and I never forgot. It's hard to fathom it's *not* Biblical prophecy.

[@sarco64]

@@lilacDaisy111 Throughout the history of the church there have been people who have looked at world events and concluded that prophecies were being fulfilled and Jesus was coming back soon. A well known example would be the Millerites during the 1800s. The failure of Jesus to return when predicted was known as The Great Disappointment. John Hagee was making end-time predictions about six years ago based on lunar eclipses, but nothing seems to have come from these predictions. There have been "wars and rumors of wars" since the time of Jesus, but none of these have accurately predicted His return.

[@lilacDaisy111]

@@sarco64 Oh, you misunderstood my meaning. I was not predicting His return (or far less: date-setting -- shudder). I was saying unprecedented world-wide events (not guesses of events) are actually happening that look just like the start up of the worldwide 7 year Great Tribulation. I've been there for a lot of fear-mongering, and I even fell for the "Obama is riding a donkey (his party symbol) through the same gates that Jesus rode a donkey -- the gates that are closed to most people." That was a huge wake up call to be more careful and discerning, so nothing moved me to seeing end times prophecy or seek out such videos. Until the worldwide deception of a pandemic that isn't, and world leaders saying all the same lines, that we'll need vax passports for basic freedoms, and eventually a mark (all signs = to buy and sell, since cash is being phased out, with a digital currency coming in). No KZbin video was needed to translate it for me, it was so plain. Funnily enough, non-religious economists are explaining this world take-over and ringing the bells: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZe7pGaqaNKEoJo A popular Atheist argument is that Christianity can't be true, because look at how many religions there are -- with that much error, how can one be true? Your comment reminds me of this false dichotomy. Can I please ask for your view of the Book of Rev? I in no way have everything figured out.

[@gregoryrobertson2806]

My wife's comments! "He's easy to understand!" That is important! I have taught her about the difference between "exegesis" and "eisegesis." When we went through the study by Ken Klaus on Revelation, as good as it was, my wife recognized what she felt was him "bringing his thoughts to Scripture." That was especially apparent with his thinking on "codes" in the Bible related to numbers, 10 and 1000 and 12 and 144,000 and 666. "Where is that in the Bible?" she asked. The grotesque artwork in his Revelation study was also on the level of "offensive" to contemporary sensibilities. Of course, we can't compromise truth because of contemporary sensibilities. On the other hand, the medieval scare tactics in the arts to create submission to the Vicar of Christ and the church, is not what the Scriptures communicate. Teaching the LHM study by Klaus on Zoom, I decided to supplement the teaching with this straightforward teaching by Pastor Wolfmueller. An exegetical study by any measure. Good one!

[@grant1r]

Numerology is a real practice that was used by biblical writers. While I think it is possible to disagree that they might be symbolic, or what they symbolize, you can interpret with good faith and it could be good exegesis to understand why John used specific numbers by looking at what these numbers were used to represent in other passages.

Thank you Bryan Wolfmueller. For me, the A Millennial view has CLEARLY been the correct view for 42 years now. When the Holy Spirit was given to man in Acts 2, Peter preaches one message and about three thousand are saved. The Holy Spirit in man was the binding of Satan " so that he could not deceive the nations " any more resulting in the gospel going out into the whole world. When he is loosed it's only for a "short time" of tribulation. We are going home soon my brother!!!

[@normnorumi3780]

Thanks, pastor! Regarding the two reserrections Romans 6 is a good text. It is also interesting to look at John 5 were two resurrections are mentioned (one is being given eternal life when coming to faith, the other is the resurrection on the last day), and it is said that those who believe (that is, those who have partin the first resurrection) have passed from death to life and do not come under the condemnation. I think that is an even more close parallel to Revelation 20.

Thank you Pastor Wolfmueller. One sticking point I have with this interpretation is the parable of the fig tree in Matthew 24. I've been on the post-mill side for several years but this is giving me pause: The characteristic of the fig tree is that it produces fruit twice in its season - once at the beginning of the season, and again at the end. I take this to mean that the days leading to the end of the church age will be like unto the days of the end of the mosaic age and the siege of Jerusalem. How do you see the second coming?

This is the best thing I've seen all week. The last few nights I've been worrying, due to reading summaries of those end-times fiction books. There is peace that comes through God's Word and I appreciate a pastor who helps me understand it. Thank you, Pastor Wolfmueller, for this teaching. I do want to ask, is the common end-times teaching from fiction books and movies (the premillennial dispensational teaching) considered to be false teaching? Is it in the same category as say, false Christology? Because there is a lot of damage being done through these books and movies that cause people like myself to worry and fear. I look forward to seeing more of your teaching, which is comforting since it is backed up by actual Scripture.

[@annecookagency]

Hey Roy i just want to agree that worry and fear is not what Christ brought or taught us. I concur very much and when I was being sent all the end time videos during the start of COVID I weighed them by that. Are they peddling fear? Then it is not of Christ. It is nice to look forward to His return even when things happen or get worse I heard somewhere it is a time for us to rejoice, not over the people that may be hurt, but over Christ’s eminent return.

[@Chrysa87]

I guess I must be living in an alternate reality, cause I see deception all around me, in the secular world as well as in the churches. In fact what woke me up out of atheism was the realization that there's true evil in this world. So, I find it hard to believe that satan is bound right now. Verses like 1 Peter 5:8 (Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour) and 2 Corinthians 2:11(...so that we would not be outwitted by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his designs.) show that the church of Christ should be aware that satan is still active after Christ's resurrection. The Lord Jesus Christ defeated satan through the cross and the resurrection, but that does not necessarily mean that he was bound at the moment of resurrection. God, for reasons only known to Him, allows satan to still roam the earth. One example of satan's deception nowadays is the new age movement, which is not fringe at all, it's very popular. New age embraces satan's first lie, that we can be like God. Regarding the millenium, I understand that not everything is literal in the Bible, but when a timeline is used in prophecy shouldn't it be taken literally? Else, what's the purpose of mentioning specific number of days, weeks or years? Also, isn't it excessive to interpret the millenium in the OT, eg in Isaiah, as spiritual and not literal? Amillenianism just doesn't make sense to me. Though I do appreciate different views.

The key hermeneutical principle - as given by Jesus in Luke 24:44-47 - is his life, death, and resurrection.

I am sad that the interpretation of Revelation divides us Christians, and that how we interpret it -has dire affects on evangelism, local and global politics, including racism and injustice.

I agree the amillenial view makes a lot of sense and I'm pleased to know that is the Lutheran view, since I've been going to a Lutheran church.

[@user-kg9xi2xk1k]

This was very good. I personally struggle between knowing if I agree with Postmil and Amil. I am always looking for reasonable people to explain these from scripture. This helped. Now what gets me is the thousand year issue. Do we have a linguistic tell that we can rely on? Because obviously a thousand is not always a day and vis versa. I think Doug Wilson makes the point that we don't see the use of the word Greek word that they translate to get thousand used except for a few places in Revelation, and we don't necessarily know if it is meant to exactly mean a thousand.

Only thing is, probation could be closed by then, in the same manner as the Jewish after thy missed the truth of the coming of there long awaited mesaja... and crusified Jesus...

Very good teaching, brother Bryan! Thank you for sharing with us. I still struggle with Amillenialism because of the evils that happen yet in this world. However, this was a good explanation. Maybe this evil still occurs due the fact that not all Jesus' enemies were put under His feet, there are some principalities and rulers of this world that are free. Also the sin is at free. I think we MUST preach the gospel so that we will be able to get rid of these evil power and bring worldwide people to the Reign of Jesus. Another question I have: In your opinion, when is gonna happen "blind Israel" awakening? What is the meaning of the "plenty/fullness of the gentiles", according to Romans 9, 10 and 11?

So are used to go to a Lutheran Church before I met my wife she is a Pentecostal and we go to her church which I used to go to but now I go to it I’m not a member there but I’m still a member of the Lutheran Church here’s my question can you explain the rapture because to my understanding the word rapture is it in the Bible at all

So... 1. the time of Jacob's Trouble/Tribulation will be during this 1000 years? or it doesn't exist? Or it's already happened? 2. The 1000 years is not specifically 1000 years but a "general era" until such time that Jesus returns?

Do you have an answer for “then he must be released for a time” In revelation 20:3?

[@allisvanity...9161]

That is probably when the false prophet, antichrist, and mark of the beast show up. Btw, I'm not even close to a Bible expert; but I do think that as symbolical as Revelation is, some of it is Prophecy, that was foreshadowed in the First Century Church's sufferings. The technology for the mark of the beast exists now. RFID chips, and quantum doting.

Yes, a 'short' time. And then 'he goes around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour, because his time is 'short.'

How would this view interpret the martyrs that have been beheaded?

[@oracleoftroy]

I think you overplayed the distinction between amil and postmil, but otherwise this was pretty good.

1 Corinthians 15:35-38 make peace with your children before it's to late.

[@cindybohl9593]

What happens when we die ( saved Christians) Do we immediately go to heaven to be with Jesus or do we wait in the ground with our bodies until the second coming of Christ when the dead shall be raised? I believe our spirits go to heaven immediately to be with Jesus…. And that it’s just our body that remains in the ground.

This is great. Why have so many been deceived into premillennialism? Also, what will the loosing of the dragon for a little season, after the period of the millennium look like?

[@notmycircus1240]

Do you know anything about Tartaria? It certainly looked like a millenial kingdom, as it was worldwide and appeared to have taken a very long time to engineer.
