The Dispensationalists' position is hurt also by an argument from the other side of the coin. How do they understand the many references to "the saints" in Revelation 6-18 (8:3-4; 11:18; 13:7, 10; 14:12; 16:6; 17:6; 18:20, 24), not to mention the "great multitude" (7:9) and the "souls of those who had been slain" (6:9)?
The Dispensationalist's position is not hurt at all...There's no doubt in my mind that this author knows the answer to the questions he poses here...These things have been answered countless times in available literature for countless years...
It's interesting that the author acknowledges that the Premillennial reign of Christ has been taught as early as the 2nd Century by their count, long before they created the Catholic bible...
Yes Ireneaus was pre-millennial in the historic futurist sense.
