Have you folks figured out why I said in #164 that 2 Peter 3:1-15 poses problems for the premill?

(This is actually less sticky than the tongues issue, by the way!)

Okay, I think I've discussed "holy gibbering" at sufficient length, let me crack open II Peter per your request...

Yeah, I see it. Very good point.

Read strictly as a blow-by-blow chronology, II Peter 3: 1-15 is a strong endorsement of amillenialism, and Peter leaves little wiggle-room, it seems.

It's not very PostMillenial, the latter days are AntiChristian in the extreme.

It's not very PreMillenial, as the earth melts away. Unless you believe that the "day of God" comes at the end of the Millenial Kingdom... in which case, it would not be coming as a "thief in the night" (i.e., the Millenial Church would know full well that the Thousand Years was nearly finished. "Well, Bob, look at all the heretics starting to raise their fists against the Risen King. Hey, I guess it really is the 998th year of Our Lord's bodily reign!! Okay, then, just two more years to go, then it's Gog-and-Magog time and after that, New Jerusalem shall descend. No worries, then; pass the beer.")
