He'll be a Gentile. I preached on why the antichrist will be a Gentile. So, I don't know. I put my pants on just like you, go down to my little study, get out my books and do the best I can and have at it. But, I do believe . . .
Nobody argues that.
It's a question I ask every covenant theologian, amillennialist, I ever meet and we have a discussion. You can't have it both ways. They are either all literal or they're all figurative, but not one or the other. So, I believe that you literally confound the Scripture. Since I also believe in a literal, historical, grammatical, contextual, rule of interpretation, I'm stuck with a literal interpretation, so I have to have a literal Israel, in a literal kingdom, with a literal Christ, reigning in a literal Jerusalem, for a literal thousand years.
