Teaching About Premillennialism? III By: Gary Colley

This is the third installment on the non-Biblical, man-made doctrine of premillennialism. We believe these studies are needful to open the eyes of those who do not know the kingdom now exists and are therefore not entering the kingdom today by faith, repentance, confession, and baptism
(John 6:28-29, Luke 13:3, Luke 13:5, Matthew 10:32-33, Matthew 28:19-20). How sad that the cause of many missing the blessings in Christ (Ephesians 1:3), is because of their belief in this false denominational theory. We must not fail to warn all who will listen, lest our friends miss Heaven! We want all to realize the destruction to the Bible that would result if this doctrine is believed. First, we would have to remove many clear passages of Scripture such as: I Thessalonians 4:13-18 where Paul proves the "silent rapture" theory wrong. These verses have been called "the noisiest verses in the Bible!" They teach the Lord will come with a shout, a voice, a trumpet, all of which are too loud for the "silent rapture!" Second, we must remove II Thessalonians 1:6-10, because these verses, unlike the premillennial theory, teach the righteous and the unrighteous will be raised at the same time! Third, I Corinthians 15:24-28 must be removed because these verses teach that when Christ comes it will be the end of the world, and Christ will deliver the kingdom to the Father! He is not coming again to begin the kingdom! Fourth, II Peter 3:10-13 must be removed because it says that the earth, the heavens, and even the elements will all melt and be dissolved with a fervent heat! There will be no place for a kingdom to be established, much less continue for "a thousand years" at Christ's second coming! Fifth, if you accept the theory, tear out of your Bible Revelation 1:7, which teaches that when the Lord comes, every eye of the righteous and unrighteous will see him, and even they that pierced him! At least these twenty verses are mutilated by the premillennial theory! How can anyone accept and be blinded by such a doctrine that rejects the teaching of the Bible? Those who are teaching this false doctrine are among those whom Jesus spoke of as being blind and leading the blind into ruin (Matthew 15:12-14).
