Futuristic Premillennialism: Why There Must Be a Future Earthly Kingdom of Christ

We believe the Bible teaches that there must be a future, earthly, Messianic Kingdom and that this long-anticipated kingdom will last 1000 years (see Revelation 19-20).  

Our doctrinal convictions related to the end times do not rest on a single text of Scripture; (though Revelation 20 is abundantly clear).

The Biblical Case for Futuristic Premillennialism is supported by Seven Lines of Reason:


It's 1) the Fruit of a Consistent “Hermeneutic.”

“Hermeneutics” is 'the study of the principles and methods of interpreting the text of the Bible as to ascertain the original intent of the Divine/human authors of Scripture.'
  
Note our recent exposition of 2 Timothy 2:15 and a very important message on the "3 Key Words of Biblical Prophesy." 

All sermons can be downloaded for free on our website at www.lakecountrybible.org 


2) The Unconditional Promises in the Biblical Covenants.

See LCBC sermon series on Genesis 12 & 15 and our series on 2 Samuel 7 and Luke 1.


3) The Hope of the Old Testament Saints and Prophets.

Per my exposition of Hosea 3.  Note key prophetic passages such as Isaiah 11, Daniel 9, and Zech. 12-14.

The Plight of Israel: An Historical, Biblical, Theological Study

1930's Antisemitism in Italy
Looking forward to our Wednesday PM series on "the Plight of Israel: An Historical, Biblical, Theological Study." This not only relates to our series on Revelation 20 and the Kingdom of God but to many contemporary events.

Here's a preview from this study:  In the 1930's fascist leaders in Italy began to target Jews for their religious beliefs. Censorship was also common. Today the LGBT and secular/liberal political machine is targeting anyone who doesn't embrace the sexual revolution and/or pledge allegiance to the rainbow flag (note recent firing of CrossFit executive and the businessmen who publicly apologized for eating at Chic-fil-a during Pride month). One of the tragic lessons in history is that when this began to take place in the 1930's and 40's is that the Roman Catholic leadership did not speak out clearly or boldly (think Reichskonkordat). Will evangelical pastors and leaders in America make this same mistake today? Will we fear man more than God? Will we modify our biblical convictions when our beliefs cost us something?

"Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it."  Join us this Wed. at 6:30pm at Lake Country Bible Church.
