If you had read my first post, you would see that I am Historical pre-mil. (Without a hint of dispensationalism.)

My issue with you is your reliance on Justin Martyr in support of your position. I agree with Jean Chauvin that you are on shaky ground there. There has been plenty of bad "commentary" on the Scriptures (look how much garbage non-Calvinists write!), and proximity to the events isn't a good indicator of value.

Jean wants Scripture, not Justin Martyr.

Did you read post #13???

In verse 20:9 - Where are the saints...on earth or in heaven? What city are they in....Jerusalem or Milwaukee?

I also pointed out that Martyr is "commentary" on scripture, not that it is scripture. But it is the earliest commentary on that verse that is in existence. If we can quote Calvin, Wesley, et al, then we can certainly quote Martyr...AND we can point out his proximity to Apostolic places, events, and acquaintances.

So, you are pre-mil.

What scripture do you use to justify your pre-mil position?
