I recently made the move from Amil to orthodox Preterist Postmillennialism and there is a lot of crossover between the to.Can you give your entire view? And why you believe what you do? Just very interested, I’ve always been taught as a futurist

So where do you think we’re at exactly?Obviously there is some "future" fulfillment of the second coming. We aren't living in the new heavens and new earth.
The tricky part becomes understanding what prophecy means what in relation to things that have already happened; over and against the second coming.

Thanks I’ll definitely check that out.Like I said I’ve always been taught futurist/premillinial but lately I’ve been trying to study for myselfI think we are close to the end of the millennial reign. Scripture says Satan is loosed in the end "to deceive the nations once again" and there's ample evidence of that going on all around us.
If you're interested in reading the research I've done on this? I got a "running" study I've been working on on "End Times". I've found some really interesting stuff in the Bible.

Definitely, so I’m n pg 4 right now, very interesting. Idk if you answer this farther on but how do you explain the beast ruling for 42 months, I don’t think you’ve mentioned that so far?Always good to dig through the Bible yourself and not necessarily "trust" what other people tell you!

Not all translations have "He came up to the Ancient of Days..."The Son of Man Presented
Dan 7:13 “I kept looking in the night visions,
And behold, with the clouds of heaven
One like a Son of Man was coming,
And He came up to the Ancient of Days
And was presented before Him.
14 “And to Him was given dominion,
Glory and a kingdom,
That all the peoples, nations and men of every language
Might serve Him.
His dominion is an everlasting dominion
Which will not pass away;
And His kingdom is one
Which will not be destroyed.
Notice Christ is given power in His ascension, "He came up to the Ancient of Days..." Christ was given, "dominion" and His dominion is everlasting. The Kingdom is now, already and not yet. (see George Ladd)
Not all translations have "He came up to the Ancient of Days..."
The church has always been Amil and Postmil, they are not mutually exclusive, but a matter of emphasis.
Well don't Postmil believe some sort of "material / socio / political" manifestation of "His Kingdom" here on earth?
