Interesting read. Thank you for posting.

I always read, but rarely post on, the eschatology threads.

Although I lean heavily toward the pre-millenial view, I don't consider the topic to be a salvation issue. Pre-mil, post-mil, amil, we are all of the same family - saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.

This Justin Martyr quote (on his apparently pre-mil view) from the article makes me believe he may have felt similarly:

“many who belong to pure and pious faith, and are true Christians, think otherwise.”

It’s a good quote by Justin Martyr. I’ve read it myself.

However, there is one caution. There is no place that Justin indicates that the “other view” is amillennialism or preterism or post-millennialism.

In fact, in context one would really think that the “other view” could also be pre-millennial but with some differences in either sequences or locations.
