They are lost......

Until they believe in Jesus Christ and obey Acts 2:38!

I find it interesting how this theory focuses on the promises of God. If Ephraim and Manasseh just vanished without a trace and truly never became a multitude of great nations that possessed the gates of their enemies... God's promise never came true. But if Ephraim and Manasseh did assimilate into the Anglo-Saxon line... God's promises become the very reason we see Western hegemony world wide.

It would also indicate that the Antichrist will be out to destroy far more than the nation state of modern Israel... he'd be out to topple and defeat the entire Western World.

It is taught that the reason the US and Briton aren't Mentioned in Scripture is that they have been destroyed....

Questionable premise upon which is why so many struggle to "find" things in the Bible.
False premises leads to false conclusions.
Please understand, no offense meant as I do enjoy many of your posts.

I believe they all went to Shangri La or Atlantis. That is why they disappeared and have not been found since.

All these promises are fulfilled in Christ. The church took prophecies spoken to Israel as being spoken to the church.

Acts 13:47 KJV For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.

Isaiah 49:3 KJV And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.

Isaiah 49:6 KJV And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.

What Aquila has to say is interesting but and if it is true and I can see some merit in it. It does not have anything to do with prophecy as I see it. As you said OT prophecy is and was fulfilled in the church. As for the anti-christ this world will continue with wars and dictators that are ungodly until the kingdom of God realizes their identity and and truely affects our world for better.

Why do Amillennialists assume there will not be an Antichrist? I read a wonderful book by a solid Amillennialist that explains quite a bit about the Antichrist.

It's a myth that Amillennialists don't believe in an Antichrist. It's typically parroted by Amill converts who simply believe in the "Box" and don't examine all positions of Amill teaching.

Here's the book,

The truth is, the spirit of Antichrist is very real. And the church should be prepared to face this spirit's continued manifestation through the age up until the final manifestation of Antichrist is upon us.
