Nor does it rule out the symbolic..is Christ a literal rock?
So when faced with a book that is fully symbolistic..why would you choose to ignore the ~actual~ words of Christ in John 5? What is YOUR measuring rod?
Premillenialism does not ignore anything. - As to John 5:28, the premil correctly interprets the verse which reaffirms that the hour (a point in time, obviously) is indeed coming for both of those prophecied events. - To read it as though it mandates that they both occur simultaneously is a massive revulsion of the consistant style of God's word as to it's relationship to the concept of time.
Time is the dimension that brought about our present material continuum. When time is revoked, it will all revert to it's true nature in a powerful display of what we know as heat, or energy. Time is only for fleshly man, not for spiritual man.
Some people cannot grasp these concepts; I don't know why, but such people do exist. I do not attempt to put down those who can't deal with it, as I'm sure that there are other concepts that I don't grasp.
The 'thousand years is as one day' idea that Peter stated is an attempt to explain how a single event for God can take a literal 1000 years to play out in the material realm. Please don't try to use it to obfuscate the revelations in his word.
All Prophecy will be fulfilled.
