Pre-Trib vs. Amillennialism: What the Bible Really Says

What does the Bible really teach about the Millennium and Christ's return? This study cuts through centuries of theological confusion to show what Scripture actually says about the earthly Kingdom, the Rapture, and end-time prophecy. ✝️ In this verse-by-verse session, the teaching walks through the two major opposing views on end-time events — pre-tribulation/pre-millennial and amillennial — and traces their historical roots from the early Church Fathers all the way through Constantine, Augustine, the Reformation, and into the modern era. Key passages include Matthew 19:28, where Jesus promises the twelve apostles they will sit on twelve thrones ruling the twelve tribes in the regeneration, and Genesis 15:18, where God transfers the title deed of the Promised Land to Abraham — from the river of Egypt to the great river Euphrates. The teaching also draws on Colossians 1 regarding our citizenship in the Kingdom of His dear Son, and Revelation's witness to the literal thousand-year reign. 🔑 Key Topics Covered: What does "pre-millennial" and "amillennial" actually mean? Did the early Church Fathers believe in a literal earthly Kingdom? How did Emperor Constantine change Church theology after 300 A.D.? Why did Origen and Augustine reject end-time prophecy for Israel?
