[QUOTE="BrownFlush, post: 5928588, member: 65823"] The millennialists have a great weakness in their theory. It's a line of reasoning in their doctrine. The theory is that the Jews' rejection of Christ caused the timetable God had decreed to be altered. He set aside His plans to establish that kingdom and substituted the church in its place. But John 6:15 shuts that down.. "Jesus therefore perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force, to make him king, withdrew again into the mountain himself alone." The people were ready then to take Jesus by force into Jerusalem and there, at the Passover feast, make Him their king. But Jesus rejected them. The millennialists have it turned around. But if their idea is even remotely true, why did Jesus reject this opportunity? Another text tells us that Jesus had been speaking about the "kingdom of God" (Luke 9:11). The evident reason He rejected the pressure of these Jews is because He did not intend to reign over some literal, earthly kingdom in Jerusalem. (Read John 18:36). The Bible teaches Jesus will never set foot on the earth again. [/QUOTE]
