Why Every Calvinist Should Be a Premillennialist - John MacArthur

Now talking about eschatology is not without controversy. There are a number of viewpoints of what the Bible means when it speaks of future events. We understand that when you have a prophecy in the Bible that has not yet come to pass, not everything will be clear. In 1 Peter chapter 1 you remember Peter says that the prophets who wrote concerning Christ, concerning the things to come wondered what person and what time. That is to say that while they understood that someone would come, they understood whatever it was that had been revealed to them, the timing was not clear and the precise personages were not clear. We can take prophetic Scripture at face value. We can interpret it the way we interpret any other passage of Scripture with the same use of the normal, natural means of interpreting language. And we should. And it will yield for us as clear an understanding of the future as the Lord wants us to have. It's not nearly as difficult as some people make it if you just take Scripture at face value.

Reading these comments here reminds me of that Scripture; "You will know them by the way they argue and call each other unkind names" !! You remember that one, don't you?

@eyesoneternity No amillenialist does? I would beg to differ. Im glad you dont. But you are stuck up and a snob. And you are also wrong about premillenialism. I dont believe ina pre-trib rapture. I hold to a prewrath view so who is jumping to conclusions now?

@eyesoneternity The insult started with you. Saying it was an invention. It is found in the bible and is clearly taught. You just refuse to interpret the bible with common sense and have to be a psuedo intellectual about it and think somehow everything already happened in 70AD.

@eyesoneternity Becuase you are ignorant. That is why you feel that way.
