发帖数: 3781 | 1 Premillennialism is the view that Christ's Second Coming will occur before t
he Millennial Kingdom is established. It teaches that the Millennial Kingdom
is a future, literal, 1,000-year reign of Christ on earth - a time when Chr
ist will rule on the throne of David in Jerusalem. In the early church, prem
illennialism was called chiliasm, from the Greek term meaning 1,000 used six
times in Revelation 20:2-7. Charles Ryrie cites essential features of premi
llennialism as follows: "Its duration will be 1,000 years; its location will
be on this earth; its government will be theocratic with the personal prese
nce of Christ reigning as King; and it will fulfill all the yet-unfulfilled
promises about the earthly kingdom." These are the basic tenants of premille
nnialism.
Before Augustine (A.D. 354-430), for the first three hundred years of the ch
urch's existence, the premillennial view of Christ's Second Coming was the o
nly view to be found in the church. The earliest interpretation of the mille
nnial reign of Christ is that of premillennialism. In premillennialism, word
s mean what they normally mean in everyday usage, while at the same time it
allows for legitimate figures of speech. Because of this the one thousand ye
ars mentioned six times in Revelation 20 is taken literally and refers to a
literal reign of Christ over the earth in the future. The simple thesis of p
remillennialism is that Jesus will literally return to the earth before (pre
) the Millennium begins and that He himself will inaugurate and rule over it
. In contrast, amillennialism sees the kingdom of God, not as a literal king
dom, but present now "in the hearts of man," and postmillennialism sees Chri
st returning to earth after the Millennium is already finished. The word "pr
emillennial" itself is derived of two components: "Pre" signifies before, an
d, "millennium" denotes a period of 1,000 years. This teaching suggests that
Christ will return before the Millennium is established and establish a lit
eral earthly reign over planet earth. | R*o
