Re: Destroying Premill in ten minutes

vektek - You're still trying to take a very symbolic book, Revelation, and interpreting the clear passages from the symbolic passages when you should be doing the opposite.

Exactly. As I said above, a classic case of allowing the tail to wag the dog. When your hermeneutical methods are dictated by an absolute imperative to preserve a literal 1,000 year reign on earth at any cost, you have no choice but to subject all the other plain statements of the NT to the most tortuous treatment in order to avoid their most obvious meaning. Either that, or ignore them - a luxury you cannot really indulge as a Christian.

Ironic in a way, that you think you can interpret Rev. 20 literally, whilst simultaneously bending over backwards to avoid the most obvious meanings in the prose sections of Holy Writ. Oh consistency, where art thou?
