Notes On Chiliasm, Th. Engelder

Concordia Theological Monthly

The doctrine that the saints will be raised from the grave at the beginning of the millennium and the wicked at the end of that period is not found in 1 Thess. 4, 16 and 1 Cor. 15, 23 f., but only in the chiliatic glossaries of these texts. Nor can it be found in Rev. 20,1-8. The chiliasts indeed insist thot this text distinctly teaches it.
