Against Amillennialism — On the Freedom and Binding of Satan in Revelation 20:2–3 Compared with Revelation 12:9
(See also www.alankurschner.com/3) The debate between premillennialism and amillennialism is not about whether the 1,000 years mentioned in Revelation 20 refers to a literal 1,000 years. Both positions agree with each other that it denotes at least a period of time. How long is not the issue. To be sure, I do believe that the […]

What Does “The Apostasy” Refer to in 2 Thessalonians 2:3?
Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy [ho apostasia] comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction (2 Thess 2:3 NASB) Paul wrote his second letter to the Thessalonians because he learned that they were deceptively being taught by some that […]
“But in the days when the seventh angel is about to blow his trumpet…” —Revelation 10:7
I have argued previously that the day of the Lord will not be a simple, literal 24-hour day, as many postribulationists claim. The day of the Lord will be a complex-whole when God works out his purposes of deliverance of his people and judgment upon the ungodly over an extended period of time, beginning with […]
