A shallow look at the Apocalypse, but notable for being the first time that Ben and Matt attack Left Behind.

Main Topic

Millennium

  • Amillennialism - millennium is a metaphor for the Church Age
  • Matt is currently tentatively amillennialist
  • Post-millennialism - Church will establish millennium, at the end Jesus returns
  • Pre-millennialism
    • Jesus returns and establishes the millennium
    • Historic (no rapture, no tribulation) vs Dispensationalist (rapture and tribulation)
  • Ben is currently historical premillennialist

Tribulation

  • Literal
  • Metaphorical

Final Judgment

  • Sinners go to hell, Earth is destroyed, saved go to heaven
  • Sinners go to hell, Earth is recreated/renewed, the saved are resurrected and live on Earth

Rapture

  • A recent North American misinterpretation of 1 Thess. 4:17
  • encourages apathy toward the state of the world

The Left Behind video game series might be the single dumbest thing Ben has ever heard of

Is dystopian fiction always post-apocalyptic fiction?

Closing

Ben tapes his fingers together
