postmillenialism

Receive deeper insights on the purpose and dating of the Book of Revelation and some of the various views on the study of eschatology.

In this episode we look at four eschatological viewpoints: historical premillennialism, postmillenialism, amillennialism, and dispensationalist premillennialism. We look at a little of the history behind these views, their implications, and why Left Behind can't be our lens for understanding final things!

Discussing a specific doctrine such as the great tribulation can get needlessly complicated if we don't have a general understanding of the top views of the end times. That's what we'll do today in our episode entitled, "Eschatology- Understanding the Top Views of the End Times"

Perhaps it’s time to leave behind our “Left Behind” theology?  This week Jeff, Mona and Allen talk all things apocalyptic; the end of the world, rapture, tribulation, Revelation, and more are covered in this eschatological conversation.  One thing not left behind, however, is a segment from the past that always makes Allen angry, Sorta Scattergories.
