I'm a Biblicalist, as is Curtis. We believe what the Bible has to tell us: the OT explained in the NT for the destiny of man. We believe that there is little value in believeing doctrines which are disconnected and unrelated to one another. They must contribute to and harmonize with the whole purpose of God and the destiny of the believer in order to have meaning. We are presently living in the end of the ages, waiting on Christ's return and our resurrection to eternal life - immortality. We believe that will happen at the time of God's choosing, not man's thoughts as to what must happen before the last day.
Eschatology, the end times, of one's individual life and the end of the world. Let me quote Curtis: "The popular doctrine of a “future millennial reign” over the present world affords endless opportunities to take daily events and label them as signs of millennial fulfillment. Satiated with sensational international crisis, the public eagerly clutches at every announcement in hopes that this it is! — that this latest event will herald a new day and tend the tension, the frustration, the failure and uncertainty. Such believers live for the future, and miss the joy and victory of the present reign of Christ."
I wholeheartedly agree with Curtis' statement above - which is just a small part of the next thread I'm almost ready to post. Many make too much out of too little when reading the prophecies of the OT. Prophecy: For every thought some make of it, there are just as many others who contradict it. But to win converts to futuristic schedules, it has to be sensationalized and full of suspense - maybe this one or that one is the antichrist; maybe this news item is a "sign" of the end time; maybe Gog and Magog are invading armies, etc. Ridiculous to the extreme. No, neither of us are of the "millennialistic" theory flavor.
This Curtis fellow does not understand dispensational premillenialism at all, he is arguing against a non-existance position ... and so are you.
We view daily events that happen today as "the beginning of birth pangs" ... nothing more, not fulfillment of prophecy. Will those prophetic fulfillments come in the future? Yes they will ... we just see the stage being set for their fulfillment. Could be hundreds of years from now ... could be tomorrow.
