Q&A: Premillennial vs. postmillennial; why Mike identifies himself as premillennial in this context

End of the World Predictions and Why They're Wrong 01:04:17 – 01:05:51

Question from B.C.B. Lloyd about millennial views.

Mike declines to argue pre vs. post millennial today, but explains why he disclosed his premillennial position: post-millennialists and preterists are not the ones falling for end-times predictions — it is premillennialists. He wanted to build credibility with his target audience by showing he shares their framework but still dismisses these predictions. He briefly critiques preterism/post-millennialism: they symbolize prophecy to a degree where detail loses meaning. If Revelation is entirely generic symbolism, why is there so much specific detail? He uses the example of 'the sky will recede as a scroll [of specific dimensions]' as an absurdity reduction.
