Historic Premill-- I\'m I the only historic premillennialist on the board?
I'm I the only historic premillennialist on the board? I embrace the eschatology of G.E. Ladd, C.H. Spurgeon, Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, and Papias. I'm wrestling with more of an historicist versus futurist approach, but rule out the hyper-futurism, pretribulationism of dispensationalism in any case.
My secondary choice would be amillennialism, though more of an historicist than idealist approach. I have Kim Riddlebarger's book on Amillennialism, which is pretty good.
I've ruled out preterism, excepting the fact that the historicist interpretation of the 70 weeks is virtually analagous to that of the preterist. But when the Apostle Paul speaks of the "falling away" and "evil waxing worse and worse" towards the end, I hardly see the end at 70 A.D.
I read Keith Mathison's book Postmillennialism: An Eschatology of Hope: Books on theonomic postmillennialism though it doesn't quite convince me, and my flirtation with postmillennialism has tapered down. In fact, I think the dominion mandate according to Kenneth Gentry is blatant eisegesis now.
