Especially to a layman...

I have been utilizing the "Riddleblog", but more specifically I was looking for a short pithy not more than a paragraph explaination.
I have according to my mother developed a 50 cent vocabulary (which she originally encouraged, but now gets annoyed by...  ). So I am trying to get the simplest explaination. I end up going off on tangents ( I blame my ADD)...
FYI, I know it is correct and biblical , I am just NOT a man of few words... -----Added 2/2/2009 at 07:17:28 EST-----
Just an FYI, I am currently working on my ability to on the fly self-edit...
What can I say, I am a Morrison, and Morrisons are talkers... |

The superiority of an Amill/Postmill hermeneutic;
1. It is Christocentric. It makes Christ the center of all Biblical Covenants, not a piece of earthly real estate.
2. It notes the universal scope of the Abrahamic Covenant (as key) to interpreting the rest of the biblical covenants. It sees salvation history oriented to a person (Christ), instead of a people (the nation of Israel).
3. It takes seriously the time frame references in Scripture, as well as the original audience, and does not seek to rip them from their historical context.
4. It flows from a hermeneutic that takes seriously the literary character of the Scriptures (esp. the book of Revelation).
5. It takes seriously the authority of the New Testament in interpreting Old Testament prophecy.
Taken from: Covenant Theology: The Superiority of the Amillennial/Postmillennial Hermeneutic

My one sentence, short and pithy definition of amillenial hermeneutics:
All is proceeding in the creation exactly as the Creator and Author intends, so get back to work!

The vast majority of these nutters who are into the "Left Behind" become theologically and True-Gospel Lazy. Rather than advance the Kingdom they just stand there drooling while staring at the sky. They have "Tribulation Plays" in which they say if you want to avoid the hardship follow Christ. I find NO WHERE in scripture where it says that life becomes easy and painless.
So put your nose to the grindstone and get back to work! Thanks Toby & Jim!
