Seven Main Points that Favor Premillennialism
Daniel 7
vs 8 - The Kingdom of the Messiah clearly follows the appearance of the Antichrist (Little Horn)
vs 9 - The prophecy requires the visible kingdom of Christ to follow the kingdoms of the Gentiles. It does not run concurrent with them. Christ’s Kingdom is established after the overthrow of all other kingdoms.
vs. 14 - The visible kingdom of Christ succeeds the final form of Gentile dominion ruled by 10 kings and finally by one king who reigns for 3 1/2 years. Neither kingdom has appeared yet.
vs 22 - The visible kingdom of the Messiah takes over the other kingdoms in power and glory.
Daniel 9:25 - The kingdom of the Messiah is a Jew which is not true of any present kingdom of Christ on the earth.
Christ’s kingdom will be similar to the ones that preceded it, that is, visible and earthly.
The Beasts have their dominion taken away but judgement and destruction are delayed for a season and time.
How will Jesus reign?
Ps. 27 - vs. 5 - He will strike through kings. vs 6 - Judge the nations.
Zachariah 14:9 - the Lord WILL be king over all the earth. vs 16 - Those that remain WILL worship the King and keep the Feast of the Tabernacles. vs. 17 - Those that do not obey will have no reign or power given to them. Judgement WILL be given.
Revelation 5:9 - the Saints will be singing a new song. Jesus will be realized as the Savior. vs 10 - We are made kings/priests, we WILL reign on the earth. We WILL have a job to do.
