Millennial Views
I have been looking into eschatology again recently. I thought it might be interesting to post a listing of the four commonly held Millennial views with the names of notable men who have subscribed to each of them. Most of the following list comes from R.C. Sproul's book The Last Days According to Jesus. I have also added a few names to each of the categories that Dr. Sproul did not include in the book...

I am sorely dissappointed that my name is absent from your list of Postmillennialists.
I do know that Spurgeon was a Historicalist, believing that the Revelation unfolds all of Church history from the apostles to the parousia, but many of those types were/are not premil.
Hey, I too am looking more into the millennial issue. I was a dispensationalist, then was a historical premiller. Now I'm a partial pret with a leaning to Amill.
When I first started this blog, I was a pre-trib/pre-mill... Now I'm leaning partial pret and post-mill, but I'm still working it all out in my head....
