Reign and Reality: Is Amillennialism Too Spiritual?

Published on: 1st April, 2024

In this episode, we delve deep into the theological significance of Christ's millennial reign and its implications for understanding the Great Commission. Starting with an exploration of key biblical passages from Daniel and Matthew, we uncover the pivotal moment when Jesus asserts his authority as the Son of Man and receives dominion over all nations from the Father. This authority, earned through his crucifixion and resurrection, establishes a real and present kingdom on earth, where believers enlist as citizens under Christ's rule. We discuss the role of the local church as an embassy of the kingdom, affirming believers and proclaiming the gospel to all nations. Through insightful commentary and biblical analysis, we challenge misconceptions about spiritualizing the kingdom and emphasize the tangible reality of Christ's reign, calling believers to endurance and faithful obedience in the face of opposition.

I grew up in the Piney Woods of East Texas as a pastor's son. Being on the inside, I saw the worst of the church. But the Lord has brought me to see the glory of the gospel and the worth of the church. My wife and I have four wonderful children and an average dog. I love good BBQ and there is a lot of it in Austin, Tx.

The joys in 1 Thessalonians 2:13 are what make me want to wake up and preach another day.
