Personally I have a lot of respect for my postmillenial brethren though I find myself in disagreement. | I agree that you believe in victory in eternity, but I do not believe that amillennialism can possibly do justice to the victory of Christ's kingdom over the course of history. As I see it, amillennialism means that the wicked triumph in history while the godly are defeated until Christ returns - this is not the perspective of Psalm 1. | Amillenialism teaches that the wicked do not triumph in history no matter how many or how little there are or conversely how many godly there are or how little. Christ reigns now and we participate in His victory by faith; end of story. |
But in amillennialism, the wicked, rather than the righteous, mostly have dominion in history, thus they are the earthly victors.
However, I think we better just agree to differ as we are walking round in circles.
