The problem isn’t God’s word, it is the Dispensational Premillenialist interpretation of it that doesn’t make sense. They claim to have a literal interpretation of scripture, but continually interpret it allegorically (e.g. locusts from the bottomless pit become attack helicopters, stars falling from the sky are nuclear missles, and the mark of the beast becomes an embedded computer chip), Most premillennialists do not know that the dominant view among protestants from the Reformation through most of the 19th century was postmillennialism. Dispenstional Premillennialism only became the prevalent teaching after the Scofield Reference Bible was published in 1909. Premillennialists are often unaware of the many serious theological and exegetical problems that accompany their interpretation. Add that to the inherrent arrogance of the modern “evangelical movement”, and you don’t have towonder why many folks are skeptical of these interpretaions

Well, we’ll find out eventually. And what exactly is the evangelical movement? I thought Jesus told us to evangelize. When did it become a “movement”?

There are many premillinialists who don’t buy into any of the dispensational end times scenario.
