Lots of folks are fad oriented. They just love to pick up the latest book or listen to the coolest preacher on TV. I prefer to read the ancient, tried-and-true fathers of the church, reading their works in the light of God's revelation.

Premillennialism is not a fad. Many of the ante-Nicean fathers would fit neatly within the premillennialist camp.

I have no truck with classic premillennialism per se. There are many who have a correct theology (covenant theology) and are premil without compromising the fundamental relationship between God and His people expressed in the Bible.

It's the dispensational (and semi-dispensational) variety that troubles me. There error is not just in the area of eschatology, but also in soteriology and ecclesiology.

In the millennium of the classic premil there is no distinction between Jew and gentile. There is no return to ritualistic sacrifices ala the older covenant. There is no rebuilt temple, reconstituted priesthood or need for red cows. It fully appreciates the superseding of the old covenant by the new without a return to those older forms of religion.

There you go again, trying to confuse the . . . with facts!

LOL.
