10. How Certain is Futuristic Premillennialism?
Harold Camping, Hal Lindsey & RC Sproul all guilty of date setting; neither prophets nor the early church needed to know the time and day—Jesus and Paul taught futility of these efforts; certainty: of fact, of relative timing, of Satan’s eternal doom, all unbelievers’ eternal judgement, eternity future for believers new heaven & new earth; prophetic certainties

9. Did the Early Church Believe in a Literal Millennial Kingdom?
scholars agree about the prominence of premil view of early church: Papias, Justin in Dialogue with Trypho the Jew; Irenaeus, Tertullian, Lactantius; opposition from Alexandria; Platonic dualism, allegorical hermeneutics, & a growing opposition to unbelieving Jews were factors; Augustine popularized Amillennialism as de facto position in Middle Ages

8. Does the NT Reject Futuristic Premillennialism?
interpretive negligence: reading NT into the OT results in an eschatology that fits predetermined theology; OT prophecies cannot be conditional in light of divine election; Jews took the OT prophecies literally & expected a future Messianic kingdom; silence about any premil controversy; did Jesus, Peter, Paul or John reject futuristic premillennialism?; conclusion

7. Does Calvinism Lead to Futuristic Premillennialism?
Reformed hermeneutic was always a literal hermeneutic; Calvin himself championed a literal hermeneutic & aggressively opposed allegoric interpretation except for eschatology (!) and thus inconsistent himself in its application; eschatology & the doctrine of election (promises of God cannot be annulled by disobedience of men!); is the church the same as Israel?

6. People What About Revelation 20?
events in vision occur in same order as written; timing of Satan’s binding (and location!); nature of 1st resurrection—physical, progress of revelation with future resurrection; duration of thousand years (3?s if should be interpreted symbolically); chronology of John’s visions Rev 12 (heaven to earth), 20 (earth to abyss); points to a chronological reading of Rev 19 & 20
