David Chilton in his book days of vengenance makes a biblical case based on the word translated world/age. The idea being that in most of the occurances of the word, it has to do more with the end of the OC.age as per the book,, of Hebrews,MT 24,,1cor 10. That indeed as Jerusalem would surely fall in 70ad, that age[ with its OC ordinances] would be passing away.
At the cross all sacrifice for sin was completed. Yet,there was a transitional period,as in the book of acts,ie, where there was still a mix of John's disciples,Acts19 there were still persons meeting trying to keep the mosaic teaching Acts 15. I am still working through these areas,,I think I am currently a POSTALLmillenialist.lol. I like how many of the post-mill writers urge a very active christian life in terms of our interaction with a fallen world.
I am not certain at this point as to the extent that the OLD Testament predictions are fulfilled physically in this world. The Post mill writers all seem to see this. The Amill seem to say it is almost exclusively inward and spiritual.
I am currently trying to contrast the amill/post by considering David Engelsma, Christ's spiritual kingdom/a defence of reformed amill/ with Keith Mathisons Postmill/an eschatology of hope.
I am trying to outline the positions then re-read many of the passages in the psalms,and prophets concerning the reign of Christ from Zion/Jerusalem, that we are said to have come to in Hebrews 12;22-24.
Has anyone else tried a similar path? do you know of other writings helpful in this? I have the bible and the future/Hoeskema, End times made simple/Waldren works of Jonathan Edwards, He shall have dominion ,Gentry
also several titles by Gary Demar.
