Revelation Bible Commentary
Now that we have in brief set each of the respective views before us, in our previous Revelation Bible commentary let us dig down a little deeper to offer critique on the Premillennial Preterist view. McKenzie wrote extensively on this view in an article posted on the Preterist Archive. He argues that full preterism has a few glitches in the fulfilled millennium in A.D. 70. One of his main arguments is that two of the seven churches are promised blessings that extend beyond A.D. 70 and are therefore experienced in the millennium. We set forth his argument below.

Three Assumptions of Premillennialism
To accept the doctrine of Premillennialism involves the acceptance of certain views. We refer to these as the Three Assumptions of Premillenialism. That in no way means that these assumptions are limited to three for we believe many more can be cited. However, these are selected solely for the purpose of this brief writing.
Premillennialism Assumption No. 1: All Prophecy Must Be Literally Interpreted
This assumption, advanced with evangelistic fervor ignores the genre of literature of the Old Testament prophets. They often spoke in metaphor and hyperbole, using many different figures of speech to get their messages across. Such ...
Resurrection and Mystery Babylon

Resurrection and Mystery Babylon go together like chocolate and peanut butter. They are inseparable in Scripture. We endeavor in this writing to show that the identity and judgment of Mystery Babylon corresponds to the time of the resurrection.
Mystery Babylon and the Last Trumpet
In Revelation 11:8-18, Mystery Babylon is identified as the city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. This clearly marks Jerusalem as the subject of the mystery. Jesus was crucified in Jerusalem outside the gates, (Heb. 13:12). During His ministry he stated that it could not be that a prophet perish outside ...
Do the Egyptians Belong in Mount Zion?

Do the Egyptians belong in Mt. Zion? From the beginning of Covenant Israel's history and quest for nationhood, a mixed multitude traveled with them from Egypt. Moses was married to an Ethiopian. In the latter days Egypt and Israel's relationship once again unite, not as master and slave but as brethren in the new temple keeping the Feasts of the Lord.
In the prophetic imagery of Zechariah 14, the nations share in the post parousia (coming of Christ) blessings of Israel.
"And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall go ...

Book of Revelation
When we share the message of Christ's return in the book of Revelation "How Did Every Eye See Him?, Revelation 1:7. Often the conversation degenerates with snickers and sneers from detractors. Quite often the response is, "I haven't seen him, did you see him?" The implied answer is no, of course. None living today saw Christ return in the clouds and therefore, it is assumed a ridiculous argument and proof that Christ's coming remains a future event.
Such responses may gain the attention of the less serious bible student but have no value for those who are acquainted with reason and ...
