Revelation 1:17-19 17When I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man. And He placed His right hand on me, saying, “Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last, 18and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades. 19Therefore write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will take place after these things.”

37
Why am I Premil?
• Rev. 19 (Christ’s return) is before Rev. 20 (Christ’s rule)

• OT prophets saw a future period which is neither the present age nor heaven– Animal kingdom tamed (Isa. 11:6-9)
– Long life but still death (Isa. 65:20)
– Yearly observances after Messiah’s return (Zech. 14:15-17)
