There are three basic eschatological views which are held by those calling themselves “Reformed.” These are: postmillennialism, amillennialism, and historic premillennialism. Absent from the list is dispensational premillennialism because it is a view which (a) is incompatible with the doctrines of grace (b) compromises God’s aseity, and (c) compromises God’s sovereignty. Also incompatible with the doctrines of grace, are views that require two resurrections in light of a supposed secret rapture. Below are included some critques of different aspects of dispensationalist teaching.

A Humble Attempt by Jonathan Edwards “…to promote the agreement and union of god’s people throughout the world in extraordinary prayer for a revival of religion and the advancement of god’s kingdom on earth, according to scriptural promises and prophecies of the last time.” The Kingdom of Heaven by Charles Hodge In the account given of the final judgment in Matthew 25:31-46, we are told that the King shall “say to those on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.” The Man of Lawlessness by Kenneth Gentry Daniel’s Seventy Weeks: A Study of Daniel 9:24-27 by Kenneth Gentry The Book of Revelation & Eschatology by Kenneth Gentry Historic Premillennialism HisTomorrow (www.historicism.com) is dedicated to equipping the saints with solid Biblical exegesis of Bible prophecy.

We feature over 120 web-pages of articles, essays, and books promoting the historicist interpretation of end-times prophecy.   Critiques of Dispensational Pre-Millennialism Christopher Love (1618-1651) harvests sweet biblical honey from the word of God concerning the ascension of Jesus Christ, and the coming of Christ again to judgment. Though Love carefully refutes theological ideas such as the 1000 year earthly millennial reign of Christ, and the idea of soul sleep, he is more focused on demonstrating the sweetness and benefits of Christ’s ascension and second coming. His main text is John 14:3, “And if I go and prepare a place for you. I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am, there ye may be also.” Love focuses on Christ’s ascension, or his going up to heaven. He says, this is a ground of great comfort and great advantage to all his people while they dwell here on earth. If the ascension is true, and it is, you ought to have an interest in Jesus Christ in this doctrine. Practically, no Christian should be afraid to die, because your Christ is in heaven, and when you die, as Love says, “death is but a trapdoor to let you into endless joy where Christ is.” Get the eBook or Print Book here at Puritan Publications. The Case Against (Dispensational) Premillennialism by Jack Van Deventer The Premillennial Deception – Chiliasm Examined in the Light of Scripture by Brian Schwertley Israel and the Church by Jack Van DeventerThis article critiques the popular dispensational notion that there are actually two peoples of God, Israel and the Church. The Dispensational Origins of Modern Premillennialism by Jack Van Deventer“The Twentieth Century has seen a dramatic paradigm shift in prophetic perspectives, first away from and now back toward its historic roots. This shift away from historic Christianity stemmed from a novel approach to Bible interpretation called Dispensationalism which was developed in the 1830s and popularized with the 1909 publication of the Scofield Reference Bible.” The Not So Secret Rapture, revised by W. Fred Rice, Th.M., Systematic Theology, Westminster SeminaryIn these days of the Left Behind series of books is popularizing the idea of a secret rapture of the church. But is this a teaching that is supported by the Word of God? The Myth of “Consistent Literalism” by Jack Van DeventerArgues against the dispensationalist hermeneutic — “Rather than allowing Scripture to interpret Scripture, the Word of God is sifted through a literalistic filter on the theological presupposition that God shuns figurative prophetic language.” Jonathan Edwards on Eschatology Eternal Punishment by A. W. Pink Messiah the Prince or, The Mediatorial Dominion of Jesus Christ (PDF) by William Symington Analysis of The Revelation by James OrrExcerpted from: International Standard Bible Encyclopedia, Vol. 9 The Puritan View of the AntichristWCF CH XXV VI. There is no other head of the Church but the Lord Jesus Christ: nor can the Pope of Rome in any sense be head thereof; but is that Antichrist, that man of sin and son of perdition, that exalteth himself in the Church against Christ, and all that is called God.
