Revelation 20:4 And The History of Millennial Thinking

When Shall These Things Be?Steve Gregg
In this discussion, Steve Gregg delves into the history of millennial thinking and the translation biases of different versions of Revelation 20:4. He explains that the word "chiliasm" is often used interchangeably with "premillennialism" and that early church fathers such as Polycarp and Justin Martyr held premillennial views, with some exceptions. Gregg also touches on the dominance of dispensationalism in modern evangelicalism and the lack of New Testament teaching on a seven-year tribulation. Ultimately, he encourages listeners to consider alternative interpretations of eschatology.
