A Good Mix

When trying to articulate my exact eschatological position, I often have a difficult time because I fall somewhere between amillennialism and postmillennialism. Here is Jason Robert’s position as he laments the problems with labels,

But here is the problem with labels:
I am postmillennarian when it comes to the nature of the kingdom. But I am amillennarian when it comes to the start of the kingdom and its length. I am postmillennarian when it comes understanding that Jesus will return at the end of the “millennium.” But I am amillennarian when it comes to understanding that the “millennium” is not actually a literal thousand years but is the biblical description of the New Covenant ministry of the Church in which we live. I am postmillennarian when it comes to understanding that the Bible is the sole source of human ethics, which is also known as theonomy. But I am amillennarian when it comes to fact that I do not believe that there will be some future “Golden Age” where this cursed world will someday operate according to Biblical law and be filled with a universal development of Biblical theocratic republics where unbelievers will be punished by death. Simply put, in the Covenantal sense I am generally postmillennial, with a historical amillennarian perspective of the starting point, nature and length of the “millennium,” and convinced of an early dating of Revelation.

While I do not ascribe to Covenant theology as Jason does, I like this paragraph on how I fall between the amil and postmil positions. Here is the full post: The Inadequacy of Labels
