The International School of Ministry (ISOM) presents Session 5 of Joel Richardson’s comprehensive series, “God’s Covenant Plans for Israel.” In this final teaching, “Why the Church Cancelled the Millennium,” author and missionary Joel Richardson addresses the loss of the physical kingdom in Christian theology. Did the early church believe in a literal, earthly reign of Jesus from Jerusalem, or was the Kingdom of God always meant to be spiritualized?
Joel explores the historical and biblical doctrine of the Millennium through Revelation 20 and early church witnesses like Papias, Justin Martyr, and Tertullian. He uncovers how replacement theology forced the church to allegorize the covenants, effectively erasing the physical 1,000-year reign to avoid the restoration of an earthly Jewish monarchy on the throne of David. Discover the tangible reality of the resurrection, rebuilt cities, restored creation, and global peace when the King takes His rightful seat in Zion.
