Dr. Riddlebarger's comments are from an amil view, and are consistent with a postmil view of eschatology.

"For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled." (Luke 21:22)

I agree that Dr Riddlebarger raises interesting questions, but he does not refute the premil argument. It is essential to realize that much of prophesy is vague - and probably deliberately so - especially questions that begin with “when”, “why”, and “how”?

It’s the people who were born during the thousand years, who rebel at the end of the thousand years. And not all of them.

There is no reason to think that Christians who were raptured that return after the tribulation to rule with Christ are the ones that rebel.

Dr. Riddlebarger's comments are from an amil view, and are consistent with a postmil view of eschatology.

Postmills and amills are similar in many ways if I understand it correctly, if I understand the two enough, Amills are also Postmills, but there is a twist. While Postmills will say we are in the millennium period, amills will say they are in now in the millennium in certain respects, the same respect as the postmills, except the amills noting that in other respects we are not in the millennium. They call it the now but not yet aspect of the millennium. But in so doing so they different them self from Postmills that only interrupt the certain scriptures that pertain to the millennium in a mostly narrow historical interruption, while the the amills will add a spiritual dimension to the passages (Though I'm not sure spiritual dimension would be the correct wording).

May I also add, though I can't find the internet site again, I remember reading some where where the term amill came about in the late 19th century in a attempt for some postmills theologians to different themselves from other postmill theologians.

I would call myself “pan-mil” - it will all pan out in the End. But, alas, I remain staunchly “pre-mil” and believe the author still does not fully understand our position.

Dr. Riddlebarger taught me the Reformed faith.

The other huge problem for Premillennarians is that Premil ignores the Scriptures.

[dangus]

Christ announced his Kingdom is imminent (”at hand”). Yet premilllennarians are still waiting for it 2,000 years later? The Kingdom is present in the Church, within the mass. Now is the great apostasy, the great fracturing of the unity of the Kingdom.

By Nero, the beast, (Qsr Nrn in Hebrew, or “666”) thousands of first-fruit saints were slain, rising to Heaven. That was in 64 AD.
