Luke 18:8 is a favorite text for dispensationalists and their objection to the optimism of postmillennialism. On the surface this verse seems to contradict the hope-filled historical expectations of postmillennialism. But does it? I tell you that He will avenge them speedily.

But this serves as evidence that opponents of postmillennialism are often wrong. Let me explain. Then Jesus sent the multitude away and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of [...]

A day after the U.S. Supreme Court seemed ready to strike down the individual mandate as unconstitutional, all of the justices were perplexed about what would happen to the rest of the 2,700-page law if they did. “Is half a loaf better than no loaf?” asked Justice Elena Kagan at Wednesday’s hearing, the last day [...]

At the beginning of the school year, gay pride events at a military academy with titles like “condom Olympics” and “queer prom” would have been unthinkable. This week, they’re a reality.

Have you ever tried to describe the landscape…when flying at an altitude of 30,000 feet? Rushing past plains, rivers, forests, mountains, highways, and cities, it is impossible to do justice to all you see. The details are lost from on high (except to God).

Though postmillennialism is one of the most simple eschatological views to understand, it is the one most regularly mischaracterized. The problem is not the system’s difficulty, but the opponent’s disbelief. But fortunately postmillennialism is vigorous and resiliant. Despite being buried often, it comes back from the dead to trouble the gainsayers. In a 1949 article by [...]
