I enjoy it all, too. Do stay tuned, Robert. It'll get to the best passages on the chiliasm subject near the end, with chapters 20 and 21. Whoever told you chiliasm was "relatively recent" was flat wrong. The "dispensational" eschatology scheme is modern, but not the chiliasm incorporated in it. For those interested in the subject, who aren't too familiar with this issue, I recommend two books: <a href="http://www.eerdmans.com/shop/product.asp?p_key=0802808514" rel="nofollow">The Bible and the Future</a>, by Anthony A. Hoekema. This book explains the various types of Christian eschatology, with a bit of history on each of the various schema and how they relate to one another. This book was recommended to me quite a while ago, and I definitely concur with the person who recommended it that it's a perfect introduction to Christian eschatology. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0802846343/sr=1-1/qid=1151000726/ref=sr_1_1/002-4428657-3344806?%5Fencoding=UTF8&s=books" rel="nofollow">Regnum Caelorum: Patterns of Millennial Thought in Early Christianity</a> (2nd revised edition, 2001). He analyzes the Biblical and Patristic evidence, coming to some surprising conclusions. Here's a summary article by Hill, entitled <a href="http://www.preteristarchive.com/PartialPreterism/hill-charles_04_01.html" rel="nofollow">Why the Early Church Finally Rejected Premillennialism</a>. You’re very welcome. I enjoy it all, too.

You've already solved one criticism of chiliasm: that it is a relatively recent innovation. Thanks, again, for the fresh translations you are sharing with us of both biblilcal and related items.
