I can't imagine how anyone could believe that this present evil world is the kingdom of God, or worse.. that the god of this world is bound and that the nations are not deceived.. but this is what happens when the mystery pertaining to Israel is ignored and people are taught that the church of God is 'spiritual Israel'..
Amillennialism is what makes the end times so confusing.. because without the distinction between Israel and the church.. there's nothing but confusion. Rightly divide the truth between the Israel of God and the church of God and then end time events are rightly centered upon the future repentance and restoration of Israel.. which is a biblical fact supported by mountains of OT and NT scripture.
1) I do not hold an amillinial position, its premillinial.
2) The church of God did not replace Israel as Gods chosen peaple.
3) The promise was never given to national israel, it was given to abraham and his seed by faith.
Romans 4v8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
9 Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for
we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.
10 How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision,
but in uncircumcision.
11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised:
that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:
12
And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised.
13
For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
Eph 3v4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the
mystery of Christ)
5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
6 That the
Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
Gal 3v24 Wherefore the
law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
27 For as many of you as have been
baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
29
And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
4) It is the church who serves christ in the millinial kingdom because the promise was always by faith.
