description
Premillennialism is a theory that dishonors God and undermines faith in Him. At its heart is the idea that God was unable to do what He intended to do at the first coming of Christ. It tosses the minds of men about and breeds anxiety and uncertainty. The Bible presents a different picture about God’s plan. Jesus sacrificed Himself for the church as part of God’s eternal purpose (Eph. 5:25; 3:9-11). He will come back in Judgment (2 Pet. 3:9-13). Hence, we must live faithfully (2 Pet. 3:14-18). This lesson will expose three falsehoods promoted by Premillennialists: the Last Days, the Rapture, and the Tribulation.
