Thy Kingdom Come

Whose kingdom do we preach—that of the Antichrist or the

"kingdom of God"?

Verses, such as Revelation 20:6, which state, "[They shall be priests of God and of Christ and reign with him a thousand years" speak of the coming reign of Jesus Christ on the earth. However, having a kingdom without the King is the vision of these amillenmal, postmillennial and New Age millenarians looking for the Greek Golden Age, Maharishi's Thousand Years of Peace or even Hitler's Thousand Year Reich. Lola Davis says New Agers must work "in materializing the Kingdom of God on earth."58 Vera Alder agrees calling the coming New Age, "Heaven on earth which we have been promised."59 Christians such as Gary North agree calling for us to "rebuild our apostate civilization into the kingdom of God." To discover the real King is omitted from his kingdom in the new versions is no surprise. Origen, Westcott, Hort, and the authors of the most widely used Greek reference works (Trench, Thayer, Machen, Warfield, Nestle, Vincent, Gregory, etc.), as well as many new version editors, subscribe to the postmillennial or amillennial view. As a result, a shift in scripture is strongly evident in the new versions. NIV, NASB, et al.

Amen." Their footnote says, "some late mss add." Their definition of "some" defies Webster's, since 492 MSS include the verse and only 8 omit it. 1.
