What is the best commentary out on Revelation that holds to the Amillennial view. I have Herman Hoeksema but what others would you recommend( Amill view of Revelation). You can email me at scottmorgan33@yahoo.com . Sorry Nathan but I would like to get some helpful input on this. I have alot of commentaries but have just 2 on Revelation that hold to the amillennial view. Someone please help me on this.

Kistemaker puts out a reformed view (idealist) on revelation. Chilton puts out a preteristic commentary titled, “the days of vengeance”. Durham put out a commenary from a historicist point of view. I believe all ar a-mil, possibly Chilton might rank under post-mil, though I haven’t gotten the sense of that just yet. I have the pdf files for chilton and durham, though durham is actually photocopies. These were done before it actually came back into print so it is a bit harder to read. The book is hugeand runs about $40.00.

Great, on a Phil Johnson thread, you bring up Amillennialism

Regarding your question, there are two things to consider:

-Amill and post-mill are very similar, so any post-mill commentaries would be pretty much the same on the essentials. Post-mill, of course, just sees the time leading up to the 2nd coming of Christ much differently than the Amill.

-Since I know your not a huge fan of the presbys, and that you prefer Baptist commentaries, I’m not sure I have a whole lot to offer you. But to give you a good start, and you can research who has commentaries and who doesn’t, here is a list of sorts of Amill theologians, and a list of Amill confessions, courtesy of the Fide-O guys:

Thanks ! I know of Ray Summers and I will order that from the Baptist Standard Bearer. Also, I hear alot about Beale. Please know that I have all the Banner of Truth sets by the Presbyterians and the Geneva commentaries and I love my Presbyterian brothers and sisters. I really do ! I have to talk to the PCA pastor that looked me in the face and said that Baptism and the Lord’s Supper are means ( To) Grace. When I said to him how can you say this when only believers can be baptized(Immersion) and take the Lord’s Supper so how can they be means (To) Grace ? I enjoyed reading JP and we use the chatechism that he shared. Always good to talk and email between us. We will always be known as the FBCW Calvinist Guys ! We will always have this in common.
BTW, our church is growing spiritually and numerically. We have baptized two Presbyterian families recently and have a girl who was just converted a few months ago to be baptized. I’m still concerned about how some of our new Calvinistic Baptists serve the Lord’s Supper to unbaptized Presbyterians and even some that have been around. Baptists are not throughly Reformed. In our view on Salvation and the Scriptures and some government(Yes). With me being amill and serving wine in the supper someone might think I’m on my way but I’m an Old School Baptist ! Gill not Fuller ! We are serving the supper only to members and take it once a month.
Please know how much I appreciate your blog and commitment to the Scriptures in your studying. Again, you will make a fine Pastor one day. You and Timmy both I believe will be used mightly of God to minister in our Baptist churches.My last BTW, If I hear one more time” Scott you mean you wouldn’t serve the Lord’s Supper to RC, Lloyd Jones, Dabney” No ! I wouldn’t serve it to Spurgeon, Gill, Keach, Booth, Philpot, Brine, and whatever Calvinistic Baptist because we believe it is a local church ordinance.We serve the Supper only to church members in good standing. You see I’m not out to get the Presbyterians ! Love you brother !

That Lord’s Supper and the local church thing is really a pet peeve to you, huh?

You got it ! I would love to talk with you sometime. Please send me your number scottmorgan33@yahoo.com . Let me pay for the call on my dime.

Scott Morgan

Thanks so much ! I have put it on my list to get.
