Interestingly, the Pre-mil crowd sees a return to animal ~~butchering~~...er....sacrifice during the "millennial kingdom". They attempt to justify this by noting that we, too, practice a memorial commemmorating Christ's work on the cross. This is the Lord's Supper.

However, this is a memorial done in his absense, which will cease at his return:

1 Corinthians 11
26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.

When he comes again, we will need no memorial -Lord's Supper ~OR~ Animal Sacrifice- for we will forever be in his presense!

Come quickly Lord Jesus!

animal butchering...

What I said earlier to Ambassador -- Why would you make fun of the sacrificial system that God instituted? Even if you disagree with someone's understanding of the millennium, that's a far cry from besmirching the system set up by God as a PRE-FIGURING of the sacrifice of Christ. Incidentally, if God can PRE-figure by the sacrifice of a lamb or bull or goat, why can't he Post-figure?

It was never the fact of animal sacrifice that God rejected with His people, it was that their hearts were wrong.

Well, my connection has been up and down now for about 2 weeks. It has just come up today after my phones were completely out. It seems as if the "f2" connection was bad, if I understand it right. Here's hoping that my connection will stay up.

Of course, as luck would have it, I have a customer who has told me I will have a big chip set to design reticles for sent this week and I have the last week of kid soccer to go with the start of my next season. I've move up from co-ed now that my back is stronger and I'm not worried that my broken bone will be a problem. We have a team with good talent, but we don't know how to play together so we were clobbered last week in our first game.

You know Jean, for you and I and doc and all us Amillennialists who have posted, such an idea that we will retun to animal sacrifices in some kind of wierd form of animalistic worship when the King himself will be with us is rather wierd. But it does occur to me that the reason so many people believe such things is that they really don't have an understanding of exactly what true worship is all about because they haven't ever really experienced it.

It really doesn't make any sense that we would want to go out and disembowl "Lamb Chop" when we have direct access to the Lamb like Lion.
