2. The part about premillenialism being all about man. Most premillenialists I know are vitally interested in the Reign of Christ. They don't view it as "their" 1,000 years, but rather His.

In the following, we have Paul giving a clear time span from the return of Christ until the end when Paul says that "Christ must reign" during that period.

This clearly ties to John's 1000 year reign mentioned in Revelation 5 & 20 (see post #2495)

22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. 24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. 25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
