—Thayer's (New Testament Greek-English Lexicon)
A strengthened form of G3199 (through the idea of expectation); to intend, that is, be about to be, do, or suffer something (of persons or things, especially events; in the sense of purpose, duty, necessity, probability, possibility, or hesitation):—about, after that, be (almost), (that which is, things, + which was for) to come, intend, was to (be), mean, mind, be at the point, (be) ready, + return, shall (begin), (which, that) should (after, afterwards, hereafter) tarry, which was for, will, would, be yet.
—Strong's (Greek Dictionary of the New Testament)

Part One - Greek: Mello


By Donald Hochner

This is the first of five articles examining the Greek words as used in the Bible. I want to share with you why the full Preterist position is consistent with the Scripture, especially these passages that speak of things about to come.

The Reformed Futurists (Amillennialism, Postmillennialism or Historic Premillennialism) cannot defend their eschatological views with dispensationalism, Charismatic and Pentecostal churches, Arminianism, Judaism, Liberal Theologians and the cults because they have some holes. Once the Reformed churches come into the full Preterist view, they will be able to defend the truth against the members of these false religions, and they will be able expose them with their errors. Reformed Preterists can make a big difference, no matter what others will think.

What do you think all of this so far, especially after examining the Greek word "mello"?

Hopefully this will help a lot and cause you to rethink the reasons for your eschatological view.

Soli Deo Gloria!

I keep seeing letters and numbers in the above posts e.g. V-PAI-1S, V-PAP-GSF, V-PAP-ASF, C-PAP-GPM, V-PAI-3S. What, if any, effect do these letters and numbers have on the definition of the word in question? Or should we just ignore them? I note that the definition of μελλο/mello from BAGD has been ignored. BAGD goes into considerable detail explaining why a specific definition is assigned to the word in different contexts.

Interesting. Care to elaborate?

The very idea of something being presently FUL-FILLED (as you bolded) seems right up the FP's alley to me....
No because FP says that all was fulfilled by AD70. If this is true, then nothing is being fulfilled in the new covenant church today.

No because FP says that all was fulfilled by AD70. If this is true, then nothing is being fulfilled in the new covenant church today.

Rather, FP's affirm all ESCHATOLOGY as fulfilled by 70 AD, while they simultaneously affirm many non-eschatological propheises, by their very nature, continue to be fulfilled in and through the New Covenant Church today and into the future.

Prophesy and Eschatology aren't always the same thing.

All Eschatology is prophetic, however, all prophesies are not necessarily Eschatological.

But I expect you already know this.

I'm not sure what this has to do with my view of the Millennium from the post you quoted, however?

The guy who started this thread was a full-preterist.

The doctrine dies in the text found below.


Mat 12:41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
Mat 12:42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.


Joh 5:27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
Joh 5:28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
Joh 5:29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
Joh 5:30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.


2Ti 4:1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;


Rev 11:18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

Joh 5:27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
Joh 5:28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

John 5:25 Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live.

Rather, FP's affirm all ESCHATOLOGY as fulfilled by 70 AD, while they simultaneously affirm many non-eschatological propheises, by their very nature, continue to be fulfilled in and through the New Covenant Church today and into the future.

Prophesy and Eschatology aren't always the same thing.

All Eschatology is prophetic, however, all prophesies are not necessarily Eschatological.

But I expect you already know this.

I'm not sure what this has to do with my view of the Millennium from the post you quoted, however?
The fulfillment of prophecy is the realization of promises. Not all promises were realized by D70. Therefore, not all prophecy was fulfilled by AD70.

fulfill: achieve or realize (something desired, promised, or predicted)
