A few good sound books dealing clearly with these issues are not out of place. They are not all from the same perspective i.e. a-mill/ pre-mill but they give one a grounding and somewhere to work from. Having grown up in a dispensational/pentecostal church it came as quite a relief to read W J Grier’s The Momentous Event; Ian Murray’s The Puritan Hope; The Eschatology of Victory – Marcillus Kik; Prophecy and the Church by Oswald T Allis; Patrick Fairburn’s Interpretation Of Prophecy; Lorraine Boetnner – Post-millenialism; The case for A-millenialism and some of the more recent writers are also great – an old book by W TRotter – Plain papers on Prophetic Subjects must indeed be the height of what Darbyism, Schofieldism and sadly even McArthur peddle as to what the scriptures teach. From Grier’s book I found this gem: One day after reading through the scriptures Grier went to his wife and said he could not find any of the stuff he had always been taught about the rapture the various comings and all the rest – anywhere in the scriptures! Thankfully, she displayed good wifely sense and told him, then he had nothing further to worry about!!!!

I think the tongue has to be firmly planted in the cheek whenever discussing dispensationalism.

Good thoughts Julian. I have had musings along those lines as well.

With the exception of dealing with a few passages in Romans…there is far more in scripture about salvation going to all nations in the inagurated kingdom. Sometimes I think we miss where the burden of proof lies. I actually had someone tell me “that is how anti-semetism arose, you shouldn’t be talking like that” as I was sharing similar thoughts to your own. Interesting.

I once read Douglas Wilson who wrote, “amillenialists have no chest hair & play with barbies.” Irrelevant, but funny!
