4. A.G�s End-Time Timeline In previous lessons, we showed from the scriptures that the premillennial idea of the rapture is ruptured, the great tribulation tanked, and the doctrine of multiple resurrections cannot rise with any scriputural credibility.

5. 1000 year earthly reign? only one chapter of the entire Bible speaks of a 1000 year reign (Rev. 20:1-10) that specific chapter is in a book that is supposed to be understood in code �The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants��things which must shortly take place.

7. �LAST DAYS� & THE 1000 YEAR REIGN scripture speaks of us being in the �last days� since the New Testament time �God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son. . .� (Heb. 1:1, 2, NKJV, cf.

11. Cannot prosper ruling in Judah premillennialists want Jesus to rule where he cannot prosper! if he rules in Judah, he cannot prosper if he prospers, he breaks the scripture (Jn. 10:35) is not premillennialism a doctrine of demons?

22. Those born again can "see" (v. 3) and "enter" (v. 5) the kingdom. Consequently, if I can show that there is presently a new birth, then there is also a kingdom to be born into! (1 Pet. 1:23).
