YOU POOR AMILL GUYS!

We read in Mark 1:15 "The kingdom of God is at hand." William Hendriksen in his commentary falls off the cliff and writes stuff that a child would understand is not true! His amillennialism comes through with gross foolishness. I wonder if his followers use their smarts to catch his mistakes! He writes "What Jesus is saying, then, is that God's reign in the hearts and lives of men would begin to assert itself far more powerfully then ever before. ... This indicates God's kingship, rule or sovereignty, recognized in the hearts and operative in the lives of his people, ... their constitution as a 'church,' and finally a 'redeemed universe.'"

   What in the world is he talking about? What an escape attempt to avoid all that the Bible is teaching. It really takes guts to leap so far off the diving board and come up with such foolish interpretation! But what amazes me more is the number of people who buy into what Hendriksen and others write. They follow the amill guys right into the abyss of Bible interpretation! Anyone who has studied what the Jews believed when they heard the expressions "Kingdom of God," and "Kingdom of Heaven," would know what Christ was saying and what the Jews understood that He was saying!

   This is without a doubt a large dose of anti-Semitism and an escape from the premillennialism of the Word of God. This is spiritual and intellectual dishonesty to the mile! Premillennialists are the only ones who interpret the Scriptures with the meaning they were projecting as true! –Dr. Mal Couch (Mar., 10)
