Personally, I think Joe's apparent contradiction between premillennialism and Calvinism is rather imaginary. I have found nothing in the scripture that in any way disturbs my understanding of Revelation 20 as describing a physical reign of Christ upon the earth over all his people, and the doctrines of grace.

It is funny you mention that, because I agree 100%. When I first started studying eschatology, I did it on my own. When I heard about POSTmillenialism, I believe it to be a hideous heresy, because that is what the liberal churches teach. Essentially, my view of POSTmillenialism was that it was essentially the social gospel, and how on earth could anybody believe that liberal junk?
Well, I was a bit humbled when I found godly men who held to such a position. I still think they are way off-base, but by no means do I believe it to be heresy!
And this is how I view premillenialism. I find nothing with respect to premillenialism inconsistent with the Bible or the Reformed position. In fact, when I study Rev 20 in isolation, I would hold emphatically to the premil position.
