Are the god and message of postmillennialism the God and message of the Bible?
No. They differ in core ways.
⸻
1. Postmillennialism says the world improves before Christ returns.
Bible says it worsens:
“Evil people… will go from bad to worse.” – 2 Tim 3:13
“Sudden destruction will come.” – 1 Thess 5:3
⸻
2. Postmillennialism says the Church brings the Kingdom.
Bible says Jesus brings it:
“The God of heaven will set up a kingdom.” – Dan 2:44
“They will see the Son of Man coming…” – Matt 24:30
⸻
3. Postmillennialism ignores Israel and future judgment.
Bible highlights both:
“Time of Jacob’s trouble…” – Jer 30:7
“I will gather the nations… for My people Israel.” – Joel 3:2
⸻
4. Postmillennialism downplays sin and wrath.
Bible says the world is corrupt:
“The whole world lies in the power of the evil one.” – 1 John 5:19
“Wrath is revealed from heaven…” – Rom 1:18
⸻
5. Postmillennialism has the Church reign before Christ returns.
Bible says we reign with Him after He returns:
“They will reign with Christ for 1,000 years.” – Rev 20:6
⸻
Postmillennialism shifts hope from Christ’s return to man’s reform.
The true gospel says: Jesus comes first, judges evil, and then reigns.
“Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. – Rev 22:20
