Christ’s second coming (vs23), 4. The bodily resurrection after the manner of Christ's (the firstfruits) and then comes the end (vss23,24). 5. Christ delivers the kingdom to God the Father, since Christ no longer needs to reign in the sense of subduing His enemies, they would have all been subdued at this point.
A full preterist cannot accept this obvious understanding of this passage. It's also the strongest passage laying out a Postmillenial (or optimistic Amillenial) chronology of events. |
Thanks, brother. I strongly believe that this passage teaches post-millenialism, but hyper-preterists have obviously overlooked this or in their denial of the faith cannot see it.
This is totally of the subject, but I notice you are a member of an SBC congregation in Kansas City, North. How do you as a post-millenialist fit into a congregation that affirms dispensationalism in its statement of faith? Is Jack Colwell one of your pastors? He was a deacon at Northside Christian Church in early 1990's where I was the associate minister. I was hoping he would have abandoned his dispensationalism, but he has come along way. What a small world. Give my regards to him and Sheri.
