In Favor of Amillennialism

Another subject I plan to tackle on here is the sticky subject of Eschatology, which is a big word for the study of the End Times, or Last Things.  Raised in a deeply Premillennial Dispensational Church, I have since left that particular view after doing what my Dad (the pastor of that Church) recommended I always do...take Scripture at face value, and only believe what it plainly says.

That study, to Give A Reason for what I believe, has led to me embracing Amillennialism, or "Realized-millennialism" as what Scripture most plainly teaches.  Jesus' Kingdom has not been postponed till a later time, it has already begun, though not yet fully realized.  

On this blog I will flush that journey out, and I hope that the reader will also un-complicate any Biblical details and systems that they have built their End Times views on, and will take Scripture for what it says, namely that when Christ comes back, and the End comes, it will be dramatic and sudden. Period.
