When using the Bible as our guide,we can have confidence in God’s plan✶ God accomplishes His will✶ Prophecies about the 1st coming

were fulfilled, Rom. 15:4✶ Prophecies about the 2nd coming

will be fulfilled, 2 Pt. 3:7-9


General PrinciplesPremillennial Perversions


Prepared the world for Christ & kingdom, Acts 26:22, 23

General Principles


Prepared the world for the spiritual nature of Christ’s kingdom✶ Old Covenant on stone, 2 Cor. 3:7✶ New Covenant on heart,

2 Cor. 3:3; Jer. 31:31-34✶ Kingdom within, Lk. 17:20, 21

General Principles


Old Testament prophets inspired of God,2 Pt. 1:20, 21✶ Accurately foretold future events & people✶ Prophecies about Christ▴ Apply to either 1st or 2nd coming▴ Not both▴ What it applied to when first written,

it applies to for all time

General Principles


When inspired men interpret prophecy,it is an infallible interpretation, 1 Cor. 2:7-13✶ No man has a right to alter✶ It cannot be applied to additional outcomes✶ Ex. Jesus’ birth, Isa. 7:14; Mt. 1:18-23

General Principles


Passages such as Malachi 3:1-6; Ezekiel 20:33-38; 37:11-28; Zechariah 13:8-9; Revelation 7:1-8, and many others, indicate clearly that when the Lord returns to earth there will be a believing remnant in Israel awaiting His return

Premillennial Perversions

- J. Dwight Pentecost, Things To Come


Read Ezekiel 20:33-38✶ No mention of Christ✶ No mention of the 2nd coming✶ Ezekiel dealing with Babylonian captivity

& Jews return from it, Eze. 1:1; 24:2



Moses prophesied about the captivityDeut. 4:26, 27; 30:1-3; Neh. 1:8-10✶ No mention of Christ✶ No mention of the 2nd coming✶ Ezekiel dealing with Babylonian captivity

& Jews return from it, Eze. 1:1; 24:2



The remnant was in Ezra’s day,Deut. 7:2-4; Ezra 9:6-15



The large body of unfulfilled prophecy makes the second advent absolutely essential...[it is promised] that He shall rule all nations (Psa. 2:8-9)




Read Psalm 2:1-9✶ Peter on Psalm 2, Acts 4:24-28✶ Paul on Psalm 2, Acts 13:31-33



’…literally restore the Davidic throne and Kingdom…that they were justified in so doing by the very language of the covenant.

It was confirmed by oath (Ps. 132:11, and 89:3, 4, 33)




Jesus disagreed & rebuked His disciplesfor such a view, Lk. 24:25-27, 44



Psalm 132:11 is about the resurrection,not the return, Acts 2:29-32



It has been agreed that the time of the new covenant was future...Isaiah (55:3) ...It must be viewed as yet future, for this covenant can not be realized by Israel until God has effected her salvation and restoration to the land”




This is a Theocracy in deed and truth... The Rulership is safely and powerfully lodged in one Person ...who becomes, according to ... ‘the sure mercies of David’ (Isa. 55:3, 4, …), ‘the Chief and Commander of nations’




Paul applied Isaiah 55 to the 1st advent,Acts 13:33-39
