As usual: you are forcing 1000 years into Scripture where it does not exist. But you dare not quote it or others would detect your deceit. Do you not realize that God forbids that? Adding onto Scripture is sinful. Do you not have any conviction about that?“Ushers in”…..How convenient you can skip over …. Over a 1,000 years …. Prophecy and Make a tidy conclusion in a one liner….
Sort of makes ALL the express detailed Scriptures that expressly applies to every individual….irrelevant.
Paul confirms the finality of the return of Jesus, in 1 Corinthians 15:22-24, stating, “as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming [Gr. parousia]. Then cometh the end [Gr. telos], when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.”
Please note the careful correlation between the parousia and the telos. This is a truth that is found throughout the New Testament. They are synonymous with each other. In fact, there are numerous predictions and prophecies in the sacred text that point towards the end of the world coinciding with the coming of Christ.
There is absolutely nothing that Premillennialists can do with such a clear and climactic passage like 1 Corinthians 15:22-24 apart from deny the obvious or add unto Scripture by inserting “a thousand years” in-between the coming (parousia) of Christ and the end (telos) where it does not belong. This is the dilemma for Premil throughout the Word. They are fighting the obvious.
The Greek simply reads:
Christos – Christ
en – at
autos – His
parousia – coming
eita – then
telos – the end
The coming of the Lord is shown to be the end of the world. There is no gap of time in-between the coming of Christ, the resurrection and the end. They all belong to the one final climactic overall event.
The phrase “he shall have delivered up” comes from the single Greek word paradidomi meaning surrender, yield up, intrust, or transmit. This is what happens to the kingdom when Christ comes. He surrenders it to His Father, He yields it up.
