Ted,

I didn't realize before, but after reading a few things that you wrote to Chance, apparently your view is not premillennial:

"    My thoughts are all these events will be fulfilled at the same time, at the end of time, when eternity begins.    "

"    1.  Seventy weeks are determined for your people – then Judah as a tribe will cease to exist

2.  and for your holy city – then Jerusalem will cease to exist

3.  to finish the transgression, - all transgressions against God will be finished

4.  to make an end of sins, - all sinning will end

5.  to make reconciliation for iniquity, - The White Throne Judgment will reconcile iniquity

6.  to bring in everlasting righteousness, - Only in eternity will righteousness be everlasting

7.  to seal up vision and prophecy, - all earthly visions and prophecies will be sealed forever

8.  and to anoint the Most Holy. – The New Jerusalem will be anointed                                                                        "

Have you always had that view, or have you more recently come to that way of thinking?

I ask, because, I had a pastor for 13 years, who was clearly premillennial the entire time that I was at that church.

A few years after my job took me to another location, his views began to change.

He had begun studying the writings of the Puritans, and when I saw him, later, when I visited the area, he told me about it.

He had become convinced that his earlier premillennial view was not correct.

We didn't bother to argue with one another about it, and we are still friends, but we simply no longer see eye-to-eye on everything.
