Thanks for the link. Looks like I can add another favotite yo my 25 or 30 bookmarks I have about reformed thinking or Preturism.
I understand that the main passages that caused the differences in escatology like dispensationalism, pre, mid and post millenialism, historical millinialism and amillianialism. pre-trib, mid trib,and post trib rapture, is all based around Revelation 20.

"1And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 3And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. 4And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. 7And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,"

I am sure that John had no idea that his revelation about the coming destruction of Jerusalem and the Second Coming of Christ would still be causing so much furor and confusion among Christians. You have to admit though, it is a very complex subject to take on so your group will possible have to set some limits before you start. You know, like body searches before the class for weapons and sharp objects that could be used to maim. (VBG)
