2026-04-28 Revelation 20 Wednesday Part 1

Pastor Bob Larson of Calvary Chapel Caldwell leads a deep dive into Revelation 20, focusing on the binding of Satan and the coming thousand-year reign of Christ. He begins by emphasizing the literal interpretation of the passage, rejecting allegorical or symbolic readings in favor of a straightforward understanding of the millennium as a 1,000-year literal reign. He contrasts three major eschatological views—amillennialism, postmillennialism, and premillennialism—arguing that amillennialists wrongly claim Satan was bound at the cross and that we are already in the millennium, while postmillennialists believe the church will gradually Christianize the world before Christ returns. Pastor Bob strongly critiques both views, citing cultural decay, rising moral decline, and biblical prophecy like 2 Timothy 3 and Matthew 24 to show that the world is not becoming more Christian. He affirms premillennialism as the historically consistent and biblically sound position, supported by early church fathers and the plain reading of Scripture. The episode ends with a call to action, promoting Calvary Chapel’s ministries and outreach opportunities.
