How is it that one who holds to the Covenant of Works and Covenant of Grace tend to "view the present evil age as not worth redeeming"? What is the connection?

Also, on a different note... this is a great forum. Only on the Puritan Board can one be a "Klinean"!
This is not an accurate statement that those who hold to Cov. of Works / Cov. of Grace believe that that world is not worth redeeming. I believe very strongly in this hermeneutic and am a post-millenialist. I think this is a false characterization.
