(a) I still support the Premillennial view. I like the way it offers a structured approach.
The fact that the early church held this view, adds weight.
Fits in with Old Testament Books that deal with prophecy, especially Daniel
Believers have been made joint heirs with Christ so that we can use His name on the earth. I agree with the view that it is the powerful prayers (with the name of Jesus) that is restraining Satan at this time. When believers are raptured (pre tribulation), then that restraining influence will be gone and the antichrist will make his entrance. This makes sense with the pre-millennial view.
(b) With regard to controversy, I thought the other views were basically ‘wishy washy’.
I would be interested to know where evidence is coming from to support comment that Amillennialism “is widely being accepted among bible-believing Christians”. I haven’t seen a shift from prominent TV evangelists changing their premillennialist view.
Although the A-millennialists had some good points, there were far too many conflicting opinions within its views
