Amillennialism on SermonAudio

Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Amos, Zechariah... all agree about how serious is the matter of obeying all of God's Law. Also we see how that Law is applied to the heart under the New Covenant. And Zechariah sees the Sabbath in our furture, in the Millennial reign of Jesus.

Dr. Schmidt examines Jeremiah's prophecy regarding the restoration of Judah during the future millennial kingdom.

God has spoken extensively throughout Scripture on the nature of Christ's thousand-year reign on earth. He has done this to calibrate our focus onto our future hope and to know more about His character. The millennial reign of Christ is not just about Christ's future rule on earth but also about God's faithfulness in keeping His promises so that we may learn to trust Him. This coming Lord's Day, we will take an excursion through Scripture to see the fulfilling of God's promises in the millennial kingdom as Jesus will reverse the effects of the curse, remove all evil influences, and renovate the earth back to paradise all to the glory of God.

This Q&A session addresses diverse theological and practical inquiries, beginning with an eschatological discussion on the future millennial temple and the cessation of sacrificial worship. The speaker then provides a detailed biblical framework for parenting, contrasting child-centered anxieties with God-centered priorities rooted in Psalm 127-128, emphasizing strong male leadership and the fear of the Lord. Further questions explore the closure of the biblical canon, arguing that the completion of apostolic revelation marks the end of new scripture, and examine the nature of false teachers as either self-deceived or malicious deceivers. Finally, the session concludes with pastoral instruction on overcoming sensuousness through the spiritual discipline of putting off sin and renewing the mind with scriptural truth.

The prophet receives specific promises about the Millennial period, Joshua the High Priest, Zerubbabel, the "Branch" Jesus, Elijah and Enoch, the rebuilding of Babylon, and more...

The sermon refutes the Landmarker Baptist doctrine that restricts the Kingdom of God to local visible churches, arguing instead for a broader spiritual reality. It interprets John 3 to mean that entry into the Kingdom requires spiritual rebirth through faith in Christ and the Word of God, not merely church membership, while distinguishing between the present individual experience of "righteousness peace and joy in the Holy Ghost" and future millennial rewards. By analyzing passages like Matthew 13 and Luke 17, the text demonstrates that the Kingdom encompasses the world and the hearts of believers rather than being confined to institutional boundaries. Ultimately, the message asserts that the Kingdom is a spiritual sphere of authority accessible through regeneration, independent of specific ecclesiastical affiliations.

The sermon critiques the influence of Greek philosophy, particularly Platonism and Neoplatonism, on Christian theology through figures like Augustine and Marcion. It argues that this philosophical shift introduced dualism and allegorical interpretation, leading to a spiritualized view of heaven and the kingdom of God that denies the literal fulfillment of Old Testament promises to Israel. The speaker contrasts these historical errors with the biblical teaching of a physical New Creation and a future Millennial Kingdom on earth. Emphasizing the irrevocable nature of God's covenant with Israel, the text asserts that rejecting a literal earthly destiny undermines the purpose of the Great Commission and the believer's future rewards. Ultimately, the message calls for a return to literal biblical interpretation as the sole source of truth for understanding history and eschatology.
