Hi! As I read over Revelation and the other other books of the Bible I find myself somewhere between a hybrid blend of amillennialism and historical
premillennialism. Anyone else out there in the same boat or know any theologians/writers that would fall in this camp?
While I believe those who espouse dispensational premillennialism and postmillennialism can be true Christians, I have the greatest problem Biblically with these two views.
What attracts me most to amillennialism is also what makes me not fully embrace it. That is its use of typology,symbolic understanding & partial preterism. But in my opinion this can sometimes be taken too far by some amillennialists.
What attracts me most to historical premillennialism is that it takes certain parts of the Bible literal that I think amillennialism can tend to over spiritualize, without the pitfalls of dispensational premillennialism (literal temple, pre-trib rapture). But again there are other areas of historical premillennialism that I think are over literal.
This is my dilemma. But maybe God never intended for us to take a overly dogmatic stance on this area.
What are the best amillennialism books?
What are the best historical premillennialism books?
Thank you!
