Pre and Post are Toast

People ask if my approach in Times and Seasons is pre-millenial, amillenial, or post-millenial. My answer is that none of these labels describe my teaching, because each of these approaches is wrong.

The problem is that most millennial teaching is a false doctrine with no basis in the scriptures. The single reference to “one thousand years” in Revelation 20:4 is symbolic and not literal. It describes the outcome of the cross, not a future event. The millennium that many Christians believe in is a cut-down distorted version of the kingdom of God.

Creating categories of eschatology by putting a prefix on a false doctrine leads to nonsense. I refuse to buy in to these ridiculous concepts.

The same applies to pre-trib, mid-trib and post-trib. The seven-year tribulation taught in many churches is a distortion of the scriptures. Tribulation is a normal experience for Christians at all times, not a season in God’s plan. Categories that put a prefix on a false doctrines lead to nonsense.
