“The judgment of God begins with the first seal (Rev. 6:1–2) and continues all the way until the Second Coming. To say that God confines his wrath to the very end of the Tribulation as the pre-Wrath view maintains, one must overlook the fact that the Lamb opens all of the seal judgments (Rev. 6:1–17; 8:1). They are the wrath of God against sinful humanity, and they are opened at the very beginning of the Tribulation.” (Page 46)
“Amillennialists believe that Christ’s kingdom transpires in the present age between his first and second comings. Therefore, the Millennium is not a literal period of one thousand years but is symbolic of a ‘long period of time.’ Amillennialists teach that the binding of Satan (Rev. 20:1–3) occurred at the first coming of Christ as a result of Christ’s death and resurrection.” (Page 30)
“Some modern premillennialists are Charles Ryrie, John Walvoord, J. Dwight Pentecost, James Montgomery Boice, Hal Lindsey, John MacArthur Jr., and Charles Swindoll.” (Page 31)
