From Pessimillennialism to Victorious Eschatology

Quite recently, I have done a back-flip with my end-times theological stance. This eschatological repentance is no minor detail in God’s grand scheme of things, as it aligns with our prophetic future and dovetails the current reformation. The reason that this postmillennial/preterist doctrine is so important is that, unlike pre-millennialism with its pre, mid and post raptures, it aligns with the biblical timeline for history and provides real hope for the kingdom. This is in stark contrast to the pessimistic eschatology that many modern saints hold to. As I am only relatively new to the largely suppressed, yet wonderfully bible-based world of postmillennial/preterist eschatology, I will give just an appetiser in this book. I must add that I don’t agree with everything that postmillennialists teach, just as I would expect nobody to agree outright with all that I say.

The Increasing Kingdom

The Kingdom of God is a kingdom of progressive increase, beginning with Christ the seed and consummating in the matured victorious body. Isaiah spoke of Christ’s Kingdom in this manner:

For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government [misrah – empire] and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever [owlam – eternity, perpetual]. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this. (Is 9:6-7)

True Prophets are Never Popular

I remember, back in the summer of 1970, when I had just graduated from High School, and I attended a rock festival at a park near our city.  There were thousands of people there, from all over the country.  It was a weird experience to say the very least.

That evening, I made my way to the back of the park, where some Christians were gathering to help feed the multitudes, and it was there I experienced the baptism in the Spirit, and several words from the Lord. 

As I left that weekend the Lord spoke to my heart that He was placing a prophetic call upon my life, though at the time I had little idea of what that meant.  I just remember thinking “cool,” that should be exciting.  Little did I know that it would not be near as exciting as it would be challenging.

Centered on Self or Lost in God

Someone defined salvation as "salvation from self." If we carefully consider this statement in the light of scripture, we can do no less than prove it true.
