As with my recent post, I have once again started to consider the end of the age. This has been compouned by me finishing the Left Behind series (audio book version) on my drives to and from work (need something to listen to on that hour commute) and by Hank Hanegraaff's (CRI) latest book 'The Last Disciple' which provides an amillennialists view. Browsing through the CRI web site, I came across the linked article. An interesting evaluation of the Left Behind series and a short explanation on premillennialists, postmillennialists, and amillennialists.

In the end of it all, I think the following from the article is critical:
"Most Christians, historically, have been neither postmillennialists nor premillennialists. Their eschatology is based not on the coming of some millennial age but is focused squarely and simply on the coming of Christ, who, in the words of the Nicene Creed, “shall come again with glory to judge both the quick and the dead, whose kingdom shall have no end.” Instead of arcane attempts to interpret puzzling prophetic symbolism, these amillennialists concentrate on the clear words of Christ, who said that His return will be unmistakable, that it could happen at any time, and that it will come as a complete surprise (Mark 13)."
