A postmil, then, does not pray for the hastening of 'the time of His second coming', but for the hastening of the dawn of the Millenium.

What 'aforementioned' things? The destruction of Satan? What?
I believe that we are in the millennium now. It stretches from 70 AD to Satan's little season - which, I believe, is a revolt against Christendom.

The aforementioned things include the calling of the Jews and the fulness of the Gentiles being brought into Christ's kingdom - the Puritan interpretation of Romans 11 rules out an amillennial understanding of the WLC 191.
