How Revelation Proves Postmillennialism

“Revelation is the apocalyptic account of Jesus’ Olivet Discourse. It is the visionary version of Jesus’ prophecy of the downfall of Jerusalem and the birth of the New Testament Church. This postmillennial perspective offers a hopeful and victorious outlook on the future, affirming that Jesus' kingdom has come and is expanding, and will ultimately cover the entire world, fulfilling the prophecy of Revelation and the promises of Scripture."

It’s The End Of “The World”

"Instead of traveling to Jerusalem and worshiping God in a temple, in the new world, men and women will worship God in local churches, and God Himself will come in and take up residence in our own hearts by the Holy Spirit. God will no longer remain at a distance in the backroom of the temple as He did in the old world but will transform His people into walking and talking holy of holies, where He delights in dwelling within them forever."

Abandoning the Loser Gospel: How the Book of Acts Proves an Eschatology of Victory

“"Far from a loser theology, we have a theology of dominion and victory in the one with the name above all names! The widespread proliferation of pagans with secular philosophies and institutions will fade, will wither, and will give way to the universal empire of Jesus Christ."

The War For The Soul Of The World

"This was no accident in human history. This is not the story of a band of losers bumbling along in a world getting increasingly rotten until the Savior tractor beams His people back home to the mothership. This was always the Creator's intent - that His image-bearing people would multiply and fill the Earth with true worshipers who willingly obey Him.”

How Israel’s Hymns Prove Postmillennialism

“If you want to learn what a culture values, and if you're going to understand the worldview that underpins a nation, then you must look no further than their songs. No matter what the whompyjawed ideologues say behind fake smiles and teleprompters, and no matter what manufactured narratives are peddled by the bobbleheaded pundits in the fake news media, the hopes and dreams of a people will be found most clearly stated in their anthems, ballads, and refrains. If you want to know what a society believes in, where their hopes lie, what they think about the purpose of life, and why we are all here, then pay attention to the lyrics and hymns they produce. It will be telling."

Traces of Defeatism: A Critique Of Amillennialism

In "Traces of Defeatism," I examine how some of the interpretations and assumptions in amillennialism act like trace elements of poison in the Church's bloodstream, subtly undermining our mission by instilling a defeatist mindset. I argue for embracing a postmillennial perspective, which I believe empowers us to actively engage and transform culture, reflecting a more victorious outlook on God's kingdom and our role within it.
