	The Biblical basis of Postmillennialism
		Postmillennialism expects that the gospel will be successful in winning a majority of people to faith in Christ, such that righteousness will triumph over evil.
		Postmillennialism expects the proclaiming of the Spirit-blessed gospel of Jesus Christ to win the vast majority of human beings to salvation in the present age.

	Postmillennialism
		Postmillennialism instead adheres to the belief the kingdom of Christ is now being established on earth through the preaching of the Gospel and the expansion of church power.
		This facet of Postmillennialism is significant, because it was the rise of Catholicism and its union with the state power of Rome, which facilitated the need for a belief system emphasizing the Church's involvement in the domestic, political, diplomatic, and military affairs of the state.
		Postmillennialism in its American Protestant form does differ from that of Catholic eschatology in its view of the significance of the Pope insofar as the end of the age is concerned.

	Postmillennialism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Christian eschatology, postmillennialism is an interpretation of chapter 20 of the Book of Revelation which sees Christ's second coming as occurring after or post- the thousand year "millennium".
		Postmillennialism also teaches that the forces of Satan will gradually be defeated by the expansion of the Kingdom of God throughout history up until the second coming of Christ.
		Revivalist Postmillennialism does not involve a theocratic outlook on socio-political life in the way that Reconstructionist Postmillennialism does.

	Pre-Trib Research Center
		While many of the basic elements of postmillennialism remain the same, distinction should be made between liberals who promote a postmillennialism through humanism (i.e., the social gospel of the past) and evangelical postmillennialism that promote progress through the church's preaching of the gospel and application of Mosaic Law.
		Later, in the States, postmillennial decline awaited the turn of the century and was dealt a near-fatal blow by WWI and WWII and identification with the Social Gospel and Liberalism.
		Postmillennialism is inconsistent with the biblical fact that the cataclysmic return of Christ brings in the kingdom (Rev. 19-20), not the preaching of the gospel and gradual human progress.

	American Postmillennialism \| The Reformed Reader (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Another critical factor which must be kept in view is that the term postmillennial is usually understood today as an eschatological position quite distinct from "amillennialism." In fact, it is generally understood that one who adopts a postmillennial eschatology self-consciously rejects the amillennial understanding of the millennial age and nature of the reign of Christ.
		Thus one unifying factor in what is now designated "postmillennialism" is this idea of the millennial age as one in which the entire world is progressively subdued by the church through the means of the preaching and acceptance of the gospel.
		For one thing, postmillennialism, as a distinct eschatological viewpoint, holds that the millennial age is one of the "Christianizing of the nations," which includes the progressive cessation of virtually all forms and activities of evil.

	Reconstructionist Postmillennialism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Reconstructionist Postmillennialism or Theonomic Postmillennialism is a form of Christian millennial eschatology which applies Christian Reconstructionism to the advancement of the Kingdom of God through out the millennium spoken of in chapter 20 of the Book of Revelation.
		Reconstructionist Postmillennialism sees that along with grass roots preaching of the Gospel and specifically Christian education, Christians should also set about changing society's legal and political institutions in accordance with Biblical (and also sometimes Theonomic) ethics.
		Reconstructionist Postmillennialism contrasts with Revivalist Postmillennialism (or Pietistic Postmillennialism) which stops short of concentrated Christian efforts to change society's secularized institutions whilst focusing more on evangelism alone.

	A Defense of (Reformed) Amillennialism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		It is the confession of amillennialism with its corresponding repudiation of premillennialism and postmillennialism as false doctrines.
		In light of postmillennialism's own sharp, radical distinguishing of itself from amillennialism in terms of nothing less than the victory or defeat of Christ in history, it is incomprehensible that some who do speak out, weakly, in favor of amillennialism still attempt to align amillennialism with postmillennialism as two acceptable eschatologies in the Reformed churches.
		The postmillennial notion that the salvation of a nation requires the conversion of a majority of the population is unbiblical.

	He Lives
		Postmillennialism, as discussed previously, is by its nature optimistic about human history, and this is a logical necessity given their interpretation of Revelation 19.
		The reasoning is thus: Postmillennialism was the dominant eschatology of American evangelicals prior to the twentieth century.
		Postmillennialism is one of the four major eschatological schools of thought.

	What is postmillennialism?
		Answer: Postmillennialism refers to a belief that Christ returns after a period of time, but not necessarily 1,000 years.
		Furthermore, by the prefix "post" in postmillennialism, those who hold this view believe that Christ will return after Christians (not Christ Himself) have established the kingdom on this earth.
		Those who hold to postmillennialism believe that this world will become better and better, with the entire world eventually becoming "Christianized." After this happens, then Christ will return.

	Jewish Dreams - by Prof. David J. Engelsma (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		The carnal kingdom of postmillennialism, particularly as painted by "Christian Reconstruction," is exactly the kind of Messianic kingdom dreamed and desired by the Jews in the days of Christ's earthly ministry.
		There is this openness to postmillennialism, evidently, in the churches that have recently split from the Christian Reformed Church and that are loosely associated in the Alliance of Reformed Churches (ARC).
		Not the least of the practical evils of postmillennialism is that it ill-prepares the people of God for the struggle that lies ahead, shortly before the return of the Lord.

	The Illusory Hope of Postmillennialism
		Among those who hold to a postmillennial position, many of them Calvinists, there is a considerable amount of disagreement on various details.
		The purpose of this article is not to enter into a thorough discussion of Postmillennialism, list all the differences of opinion, examine the teachings, and evaluate them in the light of the Word of God.
		While it is not our purpose to examine Postmillennialism, we briefly mention some of the objections which can be brought against this view.

	"Why Not Postmillennialism?" by Lewis Neilson
		However, postmillennialism is today not moribund and there are sincere and sober evangelical contenders for postmillennialism.
		Also, even if the postmillennial interpretation of the Olivet Discourse were correct, generally the best it would mean, forgetting for the moment Romans 11 and the most optimistic view of other New Testament passages of foreboding sentiment, is that little is told us in Matthew-Jude about the character of the age until Christ returns.
		Postmillennialism in the sense that and unique 1000 literal years is carved out of the Christian era would be correct.

	The Unscriptural Theologies Of Amillennialism And Postmillennialism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Since the foundation of postmillennialism requires a kingdom-now base, which it shares with amillennialism, it was logically the last system to develop.
		I think one of the sociological reasons why there began to be a revival of postmillennialism is because of the rise of new age optimism in the 1970s to the present.
		In their presentations of their views, amillennialism and postmillennialism both spend a lot of time explaining why they are opposed to premillennialism, especially dispensational premillennialism.

	Postmillennialism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Probably the most influential books from the postmillennial viewpoint have been The Second Advent, by David Brown (1848, revised 1849), which for many years was recognized as the standard work on the subject, and Dr. Charles Hodge's Systematic Theology (1871).
		Since Postmillennialism has been so ably supported by outstanding theologians and ministers whose influences continue at the present time, and since it occupies such a prominent place in a number of standard theological works, it seems rather curious to find Premillennialists attempting to assign it merely an antiquarian interest.
		Dr. Warfield, who in the opinion of the present writer is to be ranked with Augustine, Calvin, and Charles Hodge as one of the four outstanding theologians in the entire history of the Church, was a Postmillennialist, and his collected writings, reprinted in ten large volumes, continue to exert a strong influence in theological circles.

	Postmillennialism
		Postmillennialism sees Christ coming to set up his kingdom after the millennium when man has adequately prepared the world through faithful preaching of the gospel message as the church is empowered by the Holy Spirit.
		The strongest postmillennial influence in America today comes from the Chalcedon group, who are disciples of Rousas J. Rushdoony.
		Postmillennialism is the least popular among Christians today: apparently deteriorating world conditions don't square with its premises.

	DENNIS M. SWANSON, "THEONOMIC POSTMILLENNIALISM" 0001
		It becomes clear that the optimism of 19th century postmillennialism was based on the procla-mation and effectiveness of the gospel.
		In developing his postmillennial view he was forced to make a marked departure from the theology textbook on which he had been raised, and that he himself continued to re-quire of his students until his own Systematic Theology was produced, Turretin's Institutio Theologiae Elencticae.
		That Theonomists teach postmillennialism in essentially the same manner as appeared in Princeton Theology, i.e., the growing influence and dominance of the Church, and long period of a "Golden Age" for Christianity followed by the return of Christ, cannot be denied.

	Princeton and the Millennium: A Study of American Postmillennialism
		It is this difference of opinion regarding the interpretation of Princeton's overall eschatological position and the development of eschatological terminology during this period that this study seeks to evaluate.
		Even B. Warfield, usually portrayed as postmillennial in his eschatology, remarked to his friend Samuel G. Craig, that amillennialism of the type held by his esteemed Dutch colleagues Herman Bavinck and Abraham Kuyper "is the historic Protestant view, as expressed in the creeds of the Reformation period including the Westminster Standards."
		Thus, it is certainly fair to say that Hodge's postmillennialism is somewhat moderated from that of some of his predecessors and contemporaries.

		The postmillennial and the amillennial view share the idea that the rule of Christ started with the First Coming and continues since the ascension through the presence of the Holy Spirit.
		Paradoxically, it was during late antiquity, as many church leaders were adopting a postmillennial perspective, that much popular piety ceased hoping for any historical millennium and, focusing entirely on the afterlife, became amillennial.
		In a general sense, postmillennialism serves as a label for any eschatology which expects religious and social activity to play a large role in establishing God's kingdom.

	The Premillennial Deception (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Thus far it has been shown that the premillennial understanding of the millennium cannot be true because it contradicts the clear teaching of the gospels and epistles regarding the second coming of Christ, the nature of kingdom, the final judgment, and so on.
		To interpret all that the ancient prophets say of Jerusalem of an earthly city, and all that is said of Israel of the Jewish nation, would be to bring down heaven to earth, and to transmute Christianity into the corrupt Judaism of the apostolic age.” [75]
		Postmillennialism acknowledges that the most important events in human history were the life, sacrificial death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.

		• Fifth, "postmillennialism confidently anticipates a time in earth history (continuous with the present) in which the very gospel already operative in the world will have won the victory throughout the earth in fulfillment of the Great Commission.
		There is no trace of anything in the church which could be classified as postmillennialism in the first two or three centuries." [2]
		Marjorie Reeves notes, "E. Tuveson has argued that the classical attitude of Protestant reformers towards history was one of pessimism: all things must decline; decay is the essential fact of history."[7] Robin Barnes says, "in the eyes of many Lutherans in the late sixteenth century, the entire social order appeared to be falling apart."

	Postmillennialism
		Postmillennialism sometimes seems to lack credibility that Satan is currently bound and that the world is actually progressing towards a millennial state in light of current realities and actual history.
		This leads to a tendency to endorse false manifestations of Christianity as genuine progress towards the postmillennial dream (i.e.
		This latter view presents a spurious or pseudo Postmillennialism, and regards the Kingdom of God as the product of natural laws in an evolutionary process, whereas orthodox Postmillennialism regards the Kingdom of God as the product of the supernatural working of the Holy Spirit in connection with the preaching of the Gospel.
