Hi Fellowservant.

Well im not a preterist, but i do favour the Amillenialist view.
Jesus in the gospels, and Peter, both refer to his coming as it was in Noahs day.
This is refering to the promise of his coming, as being that day when God will destroy by fire instead of water and save those in the ark/ or in Christ...everyone else perishes...

Peter then tells them, what kind of people ought you to be?..........as you look to these things, when the heavens will dissappear with a roar and the earth melts.

Peter encourages them by saying that theres going to be a new heaven and a new earth..where righteousness dwells.....a place prepared according to the promise that the lord Gave to Peter and us in Jn 14.

In my fathers house are many mansions, but i go to prepare a place for you......and i will come again and recieve you to myself, that you may be where i am.

Peter makes no mention of the earth not being destroyed ...so there can be a millenium..but he looks to the events of the Great white throne, when hev and earth dissappear and all things are risen and made new....and the book of life is opened and Jesus comes to render to everyman accordingly.

God isnt slow about bringing about this day, but he is patient, not wanting any to perish, because perish you will, just like they did in Noahs day. Only the saved will see the New world that Jesus has gone to prepare for us.
Today is the day of salvation, and i wouldnt encourage anyone to put it off till he comes to rule....

Jesus said that he had told us all things before the time, and Peter in this part of his epistle, had the perfect opportunity to tell us about the millenium, but didnt.

So much more to say about it...maybe later if anyone wishes to discuss it more.

Good news is hes coming to get us and where he is we will be....dont care where really, but ive got a feeling its something that no eye has ever seen..like the Fathers House.
