Is it not interesting that the same four elements are noted as occurring
before the Millennium and after the Millennium in premillennialistic teaching?
I propose that premillennialists' error is in confusing one age to
actually be two different ages. And the source of their error of reasoning
is found in their inability to see the spiritual use of metaphors and old
testament pictures in the Book of Revelation as being descriptive of the church
age. Instead of seeing how Revelation has taken pictures from the Old
Testament and applied them spiritually to the church age, futurists have
ignored those original sources in the Old Testament and proclaim that these
pictures are literal events in the future! They have to be in the future
if one looks at them literally, because no such literal things ever occurred
yet. However, if one sees the spiritual symbolism of the church age
in these pictures, one clearly sees it is not a futuristic "movie" that we
find in Revelation's visions.
